< Deuteronomy 16 >
1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Samalirani mwezi wa Abibu ndi kukondwerera Paska wa Yehova Mulungu wanu, chifukwa pa mwezi wa Abibu, usiku, Iye anakutulutsani mu Igupto.
2 You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.
Mumuphere Yehova Mulungu wanu nsembe ya Paska, chiweto chochokera pa nkhosa zanu kapena ngʼombe zanu kumalo kumene Yehova adzasankha kuti akhazikeko dzina lake.
3 You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.
Musadyere pamodzi ndi buledi wopanga ndi yisiti, koma kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti, buledi wa masautso, chifukwa munachoka ku Igupto mwamsangamsanga kuti pa masiku onse a moyo wanu muzikumbukira nthawi imene munanyamukira ku Igupto.
4 No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.
Yisiti asapezeke kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri pa katundu wanu mʼdziko lanu lonse. Ndipo musasunge nyama imene mwapereka nsembe madzulo a tsiku loyamba mpaka mmawa.
5 You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.
Musamangopereka nsembe ya Paska mu mzinda wina uliwonse umene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani,
6 You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.
koma ku malo wokhawo amene Iye adzawasankhe kukhazikitsako Dzina lake. Kumeneko ndiye muzikapereka nsembe ya Paska madzulo, pamene dzuwa likulowa, pa tsiku lokumbukira kutuluka mu Igupto.
7 And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.
Muyiwotche ndi kuyidya pa malo pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe. Kenaka mmawa mubwerere ku matenti anu.
8 For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.
Kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muzikhala ndi msonkhano wa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndipo musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
9 You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
Muziwerenga masabata asanu ndi awiri kuyambira pamene mwatenga chikwakwa ndi kuyamba kumweta tirigu wachilili.
10 And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,
Pamenepo muzichita Chikondwerero cha Masabata pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu popereka chopereka chaufulu mofanana ndi madalitso amene Yehova Mulungu wakupatsani
11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
Ndipo inu, ana anu aamuna, aakazi, antchito anu aamuna, adzakazi, Alevi a mʼmizinda mwanu, alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye okhala pakati panu, mukondwere pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ku malo amene adzawasankhe kukhazikitsako dzina lake.
12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.
Kumbukirani kuti inunso munali akapolo ku Igupto, ndiye muzitsatira malangizo awa mosamalitsa.
13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
Mukatha kukolola tirigu wanu ndi kupsinya vinyo wanu, muzikhala ndi Chikondwerero cha Misasa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
Musangalale pa chikondwerero chanu, inu, ana anu aamuna, aakazi, antchito anu aamuna, adzakazi, Alevi, alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye amene ali mʼmizinda yanu.
15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzichita chikondwererochi kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kumalo kumene Yehova adzasankhe. Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani inu pa zokolola zanu ndi pa ntchito za manja anu, ndipo chimwemwe chanu chidzakhala chathunthu.
16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.
Amuna onse azionekera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu katatu pa chaka ku malo amene Iye adzasankha. Pa Chikondwerero cha Buledi wopanda Yisiti, pa Chikondwerero cha Masabata ndi pa Chikondwerero cha Misasa. Munthu aliyense asadzapite pamaso pa Yehova wopanda kanthu mʼmanja mwake.
17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
Aliyense wa inu adzabweretse mphatso molingana ndi momwe Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsirani.
18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
Musankhe oweruza ndi akuluakulu a fuko lanu lililonse mu mzinda uliwonse umene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani, ndipo adzaweruza anthuwa mwachilungamo.
19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
Musamakhotetse chiweruzo kapena kukondera. Musamalandire chiphuphu pakuti chiphuphu chimadetsa mʼmaso anthu a nzeru ndi kusintha mawu awo kuti mlandu uyipire osalakwa.
20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Tsatani chilungamo chokhachokha basi kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kutenga dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
Musazike mtengo wina uliwonse wa mafano a Asera pambali pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu,
22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
ndipo musayimike mwala wachipembedzo pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amadana nazo zimenezi.
