Leviticus 22
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name. I am the LORD.
“Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake kuti azilemekeza zinthu zopatulika zimene Aisraeli azipereka kwa Ine, kuti asayipitse dzina langa loyera. Ine ndine Yehova.
3 Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.
“Uwawuze kuti ngati wina aliyense mwa zidzukulu zawo mʼmibado yonse imene ikubwera adzayandikira zinthu zopatulika zimene ana a Israeli apereka kwa Yehova, ali wodetsedwa, ameneyo achotsedwe pamaso pa Yehova. Ine ndine Yehova.
4 If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,
“Munthu aliyense mwa zidzukulu za Aaroni amene ali ndi khate kapena amatulutsa zoyipa mʼthupi mwake, asadye zinthu zopatulika mpaka atayeretsedwa. Wansembe angakhale wodetsedwa atakhudzana ndi chinthu chimene chadetsedwa ndi chinthu chakufa kapena kukhudza munthu amene wataya umuna,
5 or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—
kapena kukhudza chilichonse chokwawa chomwe chimadetsa munthu, kapena kukhudza munthu amene angamudetse, kapenanso kukhudza kanthu kena kalikonse kodetsedwa.
6 the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
Tsono ngati wansembe angakhudze chilichonse mwa zimenezi ndiye kuti adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Asadye chopereka chilichonse chopatulika mpaka atasamba thupi lake lonse.
7 When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
Munthuyo adzakhala woyeretsedwa pamene dzuwa lalowa, ndipo angathe kudya chopereka chopatulikacho popeza ndi chakudya chake.
8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.
Wansembe sayenera kudya chinthu chofa chokha kapena chojiwa ndi chirombo kuopa kuti angadzidetse ndi chakudyacho. Ine ndine Yehova.
9 The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
“‘Choncho ansembe azisunga malamulo angawa kuti asapezeke wolakwa ndi kufa chifukwa chopeputsa malamulowa. Ine ndine Yehova, amene ndimawayeretsa.
10 No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
“‘Aliyense amene si wabanja la wansembe, kaya ndi mlendo wa wansembe, kapena wantchito wake, asadye chopereka chopatulika.
11 But if a priest buys a slave with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
Koma kapolo amene wagulidwa ndi ndalama kapena kubadwira mʼbanja la wansembe angathe kudya chakudya cha wansembeyo.
12 If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
Mwana wamkazi wa wansembe amene wakwatiwa ndi munthu amene si wansembe, asadyeko nsembe zopatulikazo.
13 But if a priest’s daughter with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share it.
Koma mwana wamkazi wa wansembe amene ali wamasiye kapena wosudzulidwa, ndipo alibe mwana, komanso anabwerera ku nyumba ya abambo ake monga pa nthawi ya utsikana wake, angathe kudya chakudya cha abambo ake. Mlendo asadye chakudya chopatulika.
14 If anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.
“‘Ngati munthu wina aliyense adya chopereka chopatulika mosadziwa, munthuyo amubwezere wansembe chinthu chopatulikacho ndipo awonjezerepo limodzi la magawo asanu a chinthucho.
15 The priests must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD
Choncho ansembe asayipitse zopereka zopatulika za Aisraeli zimene apereka kwa Yehova
16 by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
ndipo asachimwitse ndi kupalamulitsa Aisraeli powalola kudya zakudya zawo zopatulika. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimawayeretsa.’”
17 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
“Yankhula ndi Aaroni, ana ake pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse, ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati wina aliyense wa inu, Mwisraeli kapena mlendo amene akukhala mu Israeli abwera ndi mphatso ya nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova, kupereka chimene analumbira kapena kuti ikhale nsembe yaufulu,
19 must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.
ndiye kuti abwere ndi ngʼombe yayimuna, nkhosa yayimuna kapena mbuzi yayimuna. Izi zikhale zopanda chilema kuti zilandiridwe.
20 You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
Musapereke nyama iliyonse yokhala ndi chilema chifukwa sidzalandiridwa mʼmalo mwanu.
21 When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.
Pamene wina aliyense abweretsa ngʼombe kapena nkhosa kuti ikhale nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, kukwaniritsa zimene analumbira kapena kuti ikhale nsembe yaufulu, nyamayo iyenera kukhala yangwiro ndi yopanda chilema kuti ilandiridwe.
22 You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Musapereke kwa Yehova nyama zakhungu, zovulala kapena zolumala, kapena nyama zimene zikutulutsa mafinya mʼthupi mwake, kapena zimene zili ndi nthenda yonyerenyetsa, kapena zimene zili ndi mphere. Nyama zotere musaziyike pa guwa kuti zikhale nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.
23 You may present as a freewill offering an ox or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.
Koma mungathe kupereka ngʼombe yayimuna kapena nkhosa imene ili ndi chiwalo chachitali kapena chachifupi kukhala nsembe yaufulu. Koma simungayipereke ngati nsembe yoperekera zimene munalumbirira chifukwa sidzalandiridwa.
24 You are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them in your land.
Nyama iliyonse imene mavalo ake ndi onyuka kapena ophwanyika, ongʼambika kapena oduka, musamayipereke kwa Yehova mʼdziko lanu.
25 Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”
Ndipo musalandire nyama zotere kuchokera kwa mlendo ndi kuzipereka kukhala zakudya za Mulungu wanu. Zimenezi sizidzalandiridwa mʼmalo mwanu chifukwa zili ndi chilema ndipo ndi zolumala.’”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
27 “When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
“Pamene mwana wangʼombe, mwana wankhosa kapena mwana wambuzi wabadwa, akhale ndi make kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Kuyambira tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu mpaka mʼtsogolo mwake, angathe kulandiridwa kuti akhale nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova.
28 But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.
Musaphe ngʼombe kapena nkhosa pamodzi ndi mwana wake tsiku limodzi. Muyidye pa tsiku lomwelo; musasiyeko ina mpaka mmawa. Ine ndine Yehova.
29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.
“Pamene mupereka nsembe yoyamika kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwakufuna kwanu mu njira yoti ilandiridwe mʼmalo mwanu.
30 It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
Muyidye pa tsiku lomwelo, wosasiyako ina mpaka mmawa. Ine ndine Yehova.
31 You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.
“Choncho sungani malamulo anga ndi kuwatsatira. Ine ndine Yehova.
32 You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
Musanyoze dzina langa loyera. Koma lilemekezedwe pakati pa Aisraeli. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimakuyeretsani
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
ndipo ndine amene ndinakutulutsani mu Igupto kuti ndikhale Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.”
