Leviticus 23
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Awa ndi masiku anga osankhika a chikondwerero, masiku osankhika olemekeza Yehova amene uyenera kulengeza kuti akhale masiku opatulika a misonkhano.
3 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of sacred assembly. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.
“‘Pa masiku asanu ndi limodzi muzigwira ntchito, koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata lopuma, tsiku la msonkhano wopatulika. Kulikonse kumene inu mukukhala musamagwire ntchito iliyonse tsiku limeneli popeza ndi tsiku la Sabata la Yehova.
4 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
“‘Awa ndiwo masiku osankhidwa a zikondwerero za Yehova, masiku woyera a misonkhano amene muti mudzalengeze pa nthawi yake:
5 The Passover to the LORD begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Chikondwerero cha Paska chiziyamba madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba.
6 On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
Tsiku la 15 la mwezi womwewo ndi tsiku lolemekeza Yehova ndipo muziyamba Chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti. Muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any regular work.
Pa tsiku loyamba muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
8 For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”
Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzipereka nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muzikhala ndi msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musamagwire ntchito yolemetsa.’”
9 And the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
10 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Mukakalowa mʼdziko limene ndikukupatsanilo ndi kukolola za mʼminda mwanu, mudzabwere kwa wansembe ndi mtolo wa tirigu woyambirira kucha wa mʼminda mwanu.
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
Wansembeyo auweyule mtolowo pamaso pa Yehova kotero mtolowo udzalandiridwa mʼmalo mwanu. Wansembe auweyule tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata.
12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,
Pa tsiku limene muweyula mtolowo, muperekenso mwana wankhosa wa mwamuna wa chaka chimodzi, wopanda chilema kuti akhale nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova.
13 along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.
Chopereka chachakudya chake chikhale cha makilogalamu awiri a ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta kuti chikhale nsembe yopsereza yopereka kwa Yehova, ya fungo lokoma. Ndipo chopereka cha chakumwa chake chikhale vinyo wa malita anayi ndi theka.
14 You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
Musadye buledi aliyense kapena tirigu wokazinga, kapena wamuwisi mpaka tsiku limene mwabwera ndi chopereka ichi kwa Mulungu wanu. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
15 From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.
“‘Kuyambira tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata lija, tsiku limene munabwera ndi mtolo wa nsembe yoweyula, muziwerenga masabata asanu ndi awiri athunthu.
16 You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.
Ndiye kuti muwerenge masiku makumi asanu kuchokera pa tsiku lotsatana ndi Sabata la chisanu ndi chiwiri, ndipo kenaka mupereke nsembe ya tirigu watsopano kwa Yehova.
17 Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering, each made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, as the firstfruits to the LORD.
Kuchokera kulikonse kumene mukukhala, mubwere pamaso pa Yehova ndi buledi muwiri wa ufa wosalala wa makilogalamu awiri, ophikidwa ndi yisiti kuti akhale nsembe yoweyula ya zakudya zoyamba kucha.
18 Along with the bread you are to present seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Pamodzi ndi bulediyu muperekenso ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi awiri, aliyense akhale wa chaka chimodzi ndi wopanda chilema. Pakhalenso ngʼombe yayingʼono yayimuna ndi nkhosa zazimuna ziwiri. Zimenezi zidzakhala nsembe zopsereza zopereka kwa Yehova pamodzi ndi nsembe za zakudya ndi nsembe za zakumwa. Zonsezi zikhale nsembe zopsereza za fungo lokomera Yehova.
19 You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs a year old as a peace offering.
Kenaka mupereke mbuzi imodzi yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndiponso ana ankhosa awiri, aliyense wa chaka chimodzi kuti akhale nsembe yachiyanjano.
20 The priest is to wave the lambs as a wave offering before the LORD, together with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
Wansembe aweyule ana ankhosa awiriwo pamaso pa Yehova monga nsembe yoweyula, pamodzi ndi buledi wa tirigu woyambirira kucha. Zimenezi ndi zopereka zopatulika za Yehova zopatsidwa kwa ansembe.
21 On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live for the generations to come.
Pa tsiku lomwelo mulengeze za msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musagwire ntchito zolemetsa. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
22 When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident. I am the LORD your God.’”
“‘Pamene mukukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu, musakolole munda wanu mpaka mʼmalire mwenimweni, ndipo musatole khunkha lake. Zimenezo musiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
23 The LORD also said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
24 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, likhale tsiku lopumula, la msonkhano wopatulika, mulilengeze poyimba lipenga.
25 You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa koma mupereke nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.’”
26 Again the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present an offering made by fire to the LORD.
“Tsiku lakhumi la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi tsiku lochita Mwambo Wopepesera Machimo. Muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Muzidzichepetsa pamaso pa Yehova ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova.
28 On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
Tsiku limeneli musamagwire ntchito chifukwa ndi tsiku la Mwambo Wopepesera Machimo, kupepesera machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
29 If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.
Munthu aliyense amene sasala zakudya pa tsiku limeneli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.
Aliyense wogwira ntchito tsiku limeneli ndidzamuwononga pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
31 You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
Inu musadzagwire ntchito iliyonse. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
32 It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”
Limeneli kwa inu ndi tsiku la Sabata lopumula, ndipo muyenera kusala zakudya. Kuyambira madzulo a tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi mpaka madzulo ena otsatirawo muzisunga tsikulo ngati Sabata lanu.”
33 And the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
34 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days.
“Uwawuze Aisraeli kuti pa masiku asanu ndi awiri kuyambira pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri pazikhala Chikondwerero cha Misasa cholemekeza Yehova.
35 On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.
Tsiku loyamba ndi la msonkhano wopatulika, musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
36 For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.
Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzipereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova. Ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu muzikhala ndi msonkhano wopatulika ndipo muzipereka nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Kumeneku ndi kutsekera kwa msonkhano waukulu. Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
37 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting offerings by fire to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.
(“‘Amenewa ndi masiku osankhika a chikondwerero cha Yehova, amene muziwalengeza kuti ndi nthawi ya msonkhano wopatulika. Masiku amenewa muzipereka nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zanyama ndi zopereka zachakumwa za tsiku ndi tsiku.
38 These offerings are in addition to the offerings for the LORD’s Sabbaths, and in addition to your gifts, to all your vow offerings, and to all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.
Zopereka zimenezi ndi zowonjezera pa zopereka za Yehova za pa Sabata, zopereka zanu zolumbira ndiponso mphatso zanu zaufulu zopereka kwa Yehova.)
39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days. There shall be complete rest on the first day and also on the eighth day.
“‘Choncho kuyambira pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, mutakolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu, muchite chikondwerero cha Yehova kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Tsiku loyamba ndi tsiku lopumula, ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu ndi lopumulanso.
40 On the first day you are to gather the fruit of majestic trees, the branches of palm trees, and the boughs of leafy trees and of willows of the brook. And you are to rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
Pa tsiku loyamba muzitenga zipatso zabwino kwambiri zothyola mʼmitengo, nthambi za kanjedza, nthambi zazikulu za mitengo ya masamba ambiri, ndi za misondozi yakumtsinje, ndipo muzikondwera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
41 You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.
Chaka chilichonse muzichita chikondwerero cha Yehova kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse. Muzichita chikondwerero chimenechi mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri.
42 You are to dwell in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths,
Muzikhala mʼmisasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Onse amene ali mbadwa mʼdziko la Israeli azikhala mʼmisasa
43 so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
kuti zidzukulu zanu zidzadziwe kuti ndine amene ndinakhazika Aisraeli mʼmisasa nditawatulutsa ku Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
44 So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.
Choncho Mose analengeza kwa Aisraeli masiku osankhika a zikondwerero za Yehova.
