Deuteronomy 28
1 “Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
Ngati mumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kutsatira mosamalitsa malamulo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakukwezani pamwamba pa mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi.
2 And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God:
Madalitso awa adzabwera kwa inu ndi kuyenda nanu ngati mumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
Mudzadalitsika mʼmizinda yanu ndi kudalitsika mʼdzikolo.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, as well as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock— the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
Yehova adzadalitsa ana anu, zokolola za mʼdziko lanu, ngʼombe zanu pamodzi ndi ziweto zanu zonse.
5 Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.
Dengu lanu ndi chiwaya chanu cha buledi zidzadalitsika.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Mudzadalitsika pa kulowa kwanu ndi pa kutuluka kwanu.
7 The LORD will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you in one direction but flee from you in seven.
Yehova adzaonetsetsa kuti adani anu amene adzakuwukirani agonjetsedwe pamaso panu. Iwo adzabwera kwa inu kuchokera mbali imodzi koma adzakuthawani ku mbali zisanu ndi ziwiri.
8 The LORD will decree a blessing on your barns and on everything to which you put your hand; the LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.
Yehova adzatumiza madalitso pa nkhokwe zanu ndi pa chilichonse chimene muchikhudza. Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani mʼdziko limene akukupatsani.
9 The LORD will establish you as His holy people, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.
Yehova Mulungu wanu adzachititsa kuti mukhale anthu ake opatulika, monga momwe analonjezera pa malumbiro ake, ngati musunga malamulo ake ndi kuyenda mʼnjira zake.
10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you.
Pamenepo anthu onse a dziko lapansi adzaona kuti mumadziwika ndi dzina la Yehova ndipo adzakuopani.
11 The LORD will make you prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
Yehova adzakupambanitsani kwambiri ndipo adzakupatsani ana ambiri, ziweto zambiri, ndi zokolola zochuluka, mʼdziko limene Yehova analumbira kwa makolo anu kuti adzakupatsani.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, His abundant storehouse, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.
Yehova adzatsekula kumwamba kumene amasungirako chuma chake, kutumiza mvula mʼdziko lanu pa nthawi yake ndi kudalitsa ntchito yonse ya manja anu. Mudzakongoza mitundu yambiri koma inu simudzakongola kwa aliyense.
13 The LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward, if you hear and carefully follow the commandments of the LORD your God, which I am giving you today.
Yehova adzakuthandizani kukhala mutu osati mchira. Mukakhala ndi chidwi ndi malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kuwatsata mosamalitsa, inu mudzakhala apamwamba nthawi zonse osati apansi.
14 Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from any of the words I command you today, and do not go after other gods to serve them.
Musapatukire ku dzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere pa lamulo lina lililonse limene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kumatsatira kapena kuyitumikira milungu ina.
15 If, however, you do not obey the LORD your God by carefully following all His commandments and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
Koma ngati simumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kusatsata mosamalitsa malamulo ake ndi malangizo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino, matemberero awa adzabwera pa inu ndikukugonjetsani:
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
Mudzatembereredwa mu mzinda ndi kutembereredwa mʼmudzi.
17 Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
Dengu lanu ndi chiwaya chanu cha buledi zidzatembereredwa.
18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, as well as the produce of your land, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
Zipatso za mʼmimba mwanu zidzatembereredwa, ndiponso zomera za mʼdziko lanu, ana angʼombe zanu ndi ana ankhosa zanu zidzatembereredwa.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
Mudzatembereredwa pa kulowa kwanu ndi pa kutuluka kwanu.
20 The LORD will send curses upon you, confusion and reproof in all to which you put your hand, until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the wickedness you have committed in forsaking Him.
Yehova adzakutumizirani matemberero, chisokonezo ndi minyozo pa chilichonse chimene mudzachichita mpaka mudzawonongedwa ndi kukhala bwinja mofulumira chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene mwazichita pa kumutaya Yehova.
21 The LORD will make the plague cling to you until He has exterminated you from the land that you are entering to possess.
Yehova adzakugwetserani mliri wa matenda mpaka atakuwonongani mʼdziko limene mukulowa kukalitengali.
22 The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew; these will pursue you until you perish.
Yehova adzakukanthani ndi nthenda yowondetsa, ya malungo ndi ya zotupatupa, ndi kutentha kwakukulu ndi chilala, ndi chinsikwi ndi chiwawu zimene zidzakusautsani mpaka mutawonongeka.
23 The sky over your head will be bronze, and the earth beneath you iron.
Mitambo ya pamutu panu idzawuma ngati mkuwa ndipo sidzagwetsa mvula mpaka nthaka yanu idzawuma gwaa ngati chitsulo.
24 The LORD will turn the rain of your land into dust and powder; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
Mʼmalo mwa mvula Yehova adzakupatsani fumbi ndi dothi ndipo lidzakugwerani kuchokera kumwamba mpaka mutawonongeka.
25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them in one direction but flee from them in seven. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Yehova adzalola kuti adani anu akugonjetseni. Mudzadzera njira imodzi pokalimbana ndi adani anu koma pothawa mudzabalalika mbali zisanu ndi ziwiri. Mudzakhala chinthu chochititsa mantha pakati pa maufumu onse a dziko lapansi.
26 Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away.
Mitembo yanu idzadyedwa ndi mbalame zamumlengalenga ndi nyama zakutchire, ndipo palibe amene adzaziyingitse.
27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors and scabs and itch from which you cannot be cured.
Yehova adzakusautsani ndi zithupsa za ku Igupto ndi zotupatupa, zipere, ndi mphere zimene simudzachiritsika nazo.
28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind,
Yehova adzakusautsani inu ndi misala, khungu ndi chisokonekero cha maganizo.
29 and at noon you will grope about like a blind man in the darkness. You will not prosper in your ways. Day after day you will be oppressed and plundered, with no one to save you.
Masanasana mudzayenda ngati muli mu mdima, kumafufuzira njira ngati wosaona. Mudzakhala olephera pa chilichonse mungachite. Tsiku ndi tsiku mudzaponderezedwa ndi kuberedwa wopanda wokupulumutsani.
30 You will be pledged in marriage to a woman, but another man will violate her. You will build a house but will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but will not enjoy its fruit.
Mudzachita chinkhoswe ndi mkazi, koma wina adzakulandani ndi kumukwatira. Mudzamanga nyumba koma simudzagonamo. Mudzalima munda wamphesa koma simudzadyako zipatso zake.
31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will save you.
Ngʼombe yanu yamtheno idzaphedwa inu muli pomwepo koma simudzadyako. Bulu wanu adzalandidwa kwa inu mwamakani osabwera nayenso. Nkhosa zanu zidzapatsidwa kwa adani anu, ndipo palibe amene adzazipulumutsa.
32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, while your eyes grow weary looking for them day after day, with no power in your hand.
Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi adzaperekedwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo inu mudzafika potopa ndi kulefuka nʼkudikirira tsiku ndi tsiku kuti mwina anawo abwerako.
33 A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed.
Anthu amene simukuwadziwa adzakudyerani zokolola zanu, ndipo mudzakhala mukuponderezedwa mwankhanza masiku onse.
34 You will be driven mad by the sights you see.
Zimene muzidzaziona zidzakusokonezani mitu.
35 The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
Yehova adzakusautsani ndi zithupsa zaululu ndi zosachiritsika za mʼmawondo ndi mʼmiyendo ndipo zidzafalikira kuchoka kuphazi mpaka kumutu.
36 The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.
Yehova adzakuthamangitsirani, inu ndi mafumu anu amene muwayika, ku dziko losadziwika kwa inu ndi kwa makolo anu. Kumeneko mudzakapembedza milungu ina, milungu ya mitengo ndi miyala.
37 You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
Inu mudzakhala chinthu chochititsa mantha kuchisunga ndiponso chinthu chotukwanidwa ndi chonyozeka kwa anthu a mitundu yonse kumene Yehova adzakuthamangitsirani.
38 You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it.
Mudzadzala mbewu zambiri ku munda koma mudzakolola pangʼono, chifukwa dzombe lidzaziwononga.
39 You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
Mudzadzala mpesa ndi kulimirira koma vinyo wake simudzamumwa kapena kukolola mphesazo, chifukwa mphutsi zidzadya mphesazo.
40 You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
Mudzakhala ndi mitengo ya olivi mʼdziko lanu lonse koma simudzagwiritsa ntchito mafuta ake, chifukwa zipatso zake zidzayoyoka.
41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity.
Mudzabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi koma sadzakhala anu, chifukwa adzapita ku ukapolo.
42 Swarms of locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.
Magulumagulu a dzombe adzawononga mitengo yanu ndi mbewu za mʼdziko lanu.
43 The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower.
Mlendo wokhala pakati panu adzatukuka kuposa inu, koma inuyo mudzaloweralowera pansi.
44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
Iye adzakubwereketsani, koma inu simudzatha kubwereketsa. Iye adzakhala mutu ndipo inu mudzakhala mchira.
45 All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.
Matemberero onsewa adzabwera pa inu. Adzakulondolani ndi kukugonjetsani mpaka mutawonongeka, chifukwa simunamvere Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kusunga malamulo ndi malangizo amene anakupatsani.
46 These curses will be a sign and a wonder upon you and your descendants forever.
Matemberero amenewa adzakhala chizindikiro ndi chozizwitsa kwa inu ndi zidzukulu zanu mpaka kalekale.
47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart in all your abundance,
Pakuti inu simunatumikire Yehova Mulungu wanu pa nthawi imene zinthu zinkakuyenderani bwino,
48 you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
chomwecho pa nthawi ya njala ndi ludzu, ya maliseche ndi umphawi woopsa, mudzatumikira adani amene Yehova adzakutumizirani. Iye adzayika goli lachitsulo mʼkhosi mwanu kufikira atakuwonongani.
49 The LORD will bring a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down upon you like an eagle—a nation whose language you will not understand,
Yehova adzakutumizirani mtundu wa anthu kuchokera kutali kumapeto kwa dziko lapansi nudzachita ngati mphungu yowulukira pansi, mtundu wa anthu umene chiyankhulo chawo simudzachimva,
50 a ruthless nation with no respect for the old and no pity for the young.
mtundu wooneka wochititsa mantha, wopanda ulemu kwa okalamba kapena chisoni kwa ana.
51 They will eat the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain or new wine or oil, no calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks, until they have caused you to perish.
Iwo adzagwira ana a ziweto zanu, natenga zokolola za mʼdziko lanu kufikira mutawonongeka. Iwo sadzakusiyirani tirigu, vinyo watsopano kapena mafuta a olivi, kapena mwana wangʼombe aliyense kapena mwana wankhosa mpaka mutasanduka bwinja.
52 They will besiege all the cities throughout your land, until the high and fortified walls in which you trust have fallen. They will besiege all your cities throughout the land that the LORD your God has given you.
Iwo adzathira nkhondo mizinda yonse mʼdziko lanu lonse mpaka malinga anu ataliatali omwe mumadalira aja atagwa. Adzathira nkhondo mizinda yonse ya mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
53 Then you will eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters whom the LORD your God has given you, in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you.
Chifukwa cha zosautsa zimene mdani wanu adzabweretsa pa nthawi yokuthirani nkhondo, inu mudzadya ana anu, mnofu wa ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani.
54 The most gentle and refined man among you will begrudge his brother, the wife he embraces, and the rest of his children who have survived,
Ngakhale munthu woleza mtima ndi wachifundo kwambiri pakati panu sadzakhala ndi chifundo pa mʼbale wake weniweni kapena mkazi wake amene iye amamukonda kapena ana ake otsalawo,
55 refusing to share with any of them the flesh of his children he will eat because he has nothing left in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within all your gates.
ndipo sadzagawirako aliyense wa iwo mnofu wa ana ake amene akudyawo. Kadzakhala kali komweko basi kamene kamutsalira chifukwa cha msautso umene mdani wanu adzagwetsa pa nthawi yothira nkhondo mizinda yanu yonse.
56 The most gentle and refined woman among you, so gentle and refined she would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground, will begrudge the husband she embraces and her son and daughter
Mayi woleza mtima ndi wachifundo kwambiri pakati panu, uja woti sangayerekeze kuponda pansi, adzabisira mwamuna wake amene amamukonda ndi ana ake omwe aamuna ndi aakazi
57 the afterbirth that comes from between her legs and the children she bears, because she will secretly eat them for lack of anything else in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within your gates.
zotsalira za uchembere zochoka mʼmimba mwake ndi ana amene wabereka. Pakuti adzafuna kuti adye zimenezi yekha mobisa pa nthawi yothiridwa nkhondo chifukwa cha masautso amene mdani wanu adzagwetsa pa inu mʼmizinda yanu.
58 If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—
Ngati simutsata mosamalitsa mawu onse a malamulo awa amene alembedwa mʼbuku lino, komanso ngati simuopa dzina la ulemerero ndi loopsa, dzina la Yehova Mulungu wanu,
59 He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.
Yehova adzatumiza pa inu ndi zidzukulu zanu miliri yoopsa, zosautsa zowawa ndi zokhalitsa, ndi matenda aakulu ndi ovuta kuchiritsika.
60 He will afflict you again with all the diseases you dreaded in Egypt, and they will cling to you.
Adzakubweretserani matenda onse a ku Igupto aja mumawaopawa ndipo adzakukanirirani.
61 The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
Yehova adzakubweretseraninso mtundu uliwonse wa matenda ndi zosautsa zimene sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la malamulo lino, mpaka mutawonongeka.
62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Inu aja munali ochuluka ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba mudzatsala ochepa chabe chifukwa simunamvere Yehova Mulungu wanu.
63 Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so also it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. And you will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
Monga kunamukomera Yehova kukulemeretsani ndi kukuchulukitsani, momwemonso kudzamukondweretsa kukunthani ndi kukuwonongani. Inu mudzazulidwa kukuchotsani mʼdziko limene mukulowa kukalitengali.
64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
Kenaka Yehova adzakubalalitsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonse, kuchokera ku mapeto a dziko kufika ku mapeto ena. Kumeneko mudzapembedza milungu ina, milungu ya mitengo ndi ya miyala, imene inu eni kapena makolo anu sanayidziwepo.
65 Among those nations you will find no repose, not even a resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.
Pakati pa mitundu ya anthu imeneyi simudzapeza mpata, popanda malo woti nʼkuyikapo phazi. Kumeneko Yehova adzakupatsani moyo wa nkhawa, maso otopa ndi chiyembekezo, ndi mtima wosakhazikika.
66 So your life will hang in doubt before you, and you will be afraid night and day, never certain of survival.
Inu mudzakhala osakhazikika mopitirira, odzazidwa ndi mantha usiku ndi usana womwe, osowa chitsimikizo cha pa moyo wanu.
67 In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’—because of the dread in your hearts of the terrifying sights you will see.
Mmawa muzidzati, “Chikhala anali madzulo!” ndipo madzulo mudzati, “Chikhala unali mmawa!” Mudzanena zimenezi chifukwa cha mantha amene adzakhale mu mtima mwanu ndi chifukwa cha zomwe muzidzaziona.
68 The LORD will return you to Egypt in ships by a route that I said you should never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
Yehova adzakubwezani ku Igupto pa sitima zapamadzi paulendo umene Ine ndinati musawuyendenso. Kumeneko mudzadzitsatsa nokha kwa adani anu monga akapolo aamuna ndi aakazi, koma palibe amene adzakuguleni.
