Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be when you shall have entered into the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit it, and you shall have inherited it, and you shall have lived upon it,
Mukalowa ndi kukhazikika mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani ngati cholowa chanu,
2 that you shall take of the first of the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there.
mutengeko zina mwa zipatso zoyamba pa zonse zimene mudzakola mʼnthaka ya dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani ndi kuziyika mʼdengu. Mukatero mupite kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakhazikitsako dzina lake
3 And you shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and you shall say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
ndipo mudzamuwuze wansembe amene ali pa ntchito pa nthawiyo kuti, “Ndikunenetsa lero kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti ndabwera ku dziko limene Yehova analumbirira makolo athu kuti adzatipatsa ife.”
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord your God:
Wansembe adzatenga dengulo mʼmanja mwanu ndi kuliyika pansi patsogolo pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 and he shall answer and say before the Lord your God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
Ndipo mudzanenetsa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti, “Abambo anga anali Mwaramu woyendayenda, anapita ku Igupto ndi anthu ochepa nakhala kumeneko. Pambuyo pake anakhala mtundu waukulu, wamphamvu ndi wochuluka.
6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
Koma Aigupto anatisautsa natizunza, kumatigwiritsa ntchito yakalavulagaga.
7 and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labour, and our affliction.
Kenaka tinafuwulira Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo athu ndipo Yehova anamva mawu athu ndi kuona kusauka, kuvutika ndi kuponderezedwa kwathu.
8 And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
Kotero Yehova anatitulutsa ku Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu ndi mkono wotambasuka ndi zoopsa zazikulu ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa.
9 And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Iye anatibweretsa ku malo ano natipatsa dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi lino.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which you gave me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and you shall leave it before the Lord your God, and you shall worship before the Lord your God;
Ndipo tsopano ndikubweretsa zipatso zoyamba zimene inu Yehova mwandipatsa.” Ikani dengulo pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kuwerama mopereka ulemu pamaso pake.
11 and you shall rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord your God has given you, [you] and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within you.
Ndipo inu ndi Alevi pamodzi ndi alendo okhala pakati panu mudzakondwera mʼzinthu zonse zabwino zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani, inu ndi a pa banja panu.
12 And when you shall have completed all the tithings of your fruits in the third year, you shall give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in your cities, and be merry.
Mukatha kupatula chakhumi pa zonse zimene mwakolola mʼchaka chachitatu chimene ndi chaka chakhumi, muzichipereka kwa wansembe, mlendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, kuti pamenepo adye mʼmizinda yanu nakhuta.
13 And you shall say before the Lord your God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which you did command me: I did not transgress your command, and I did not forget it.
Kenaka munene kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti “Ndatulutsamo mʼnyumba mwanga gawo lopatulika ndipo ndalipereka kwa Mlevi, mlendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, monga mwa zonse zimene munalamula. Sindinapatuke pa zimene munalamula kapena kuyiwala ndi chimodzi chomwe.
14 And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have listened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as you have commanded me.
Sindinadye kalikonse ka gawo lopatulika pamene ndimalira maliro kapena kuchotsapo kalikonse ka gawo lopatulika pamene ndinali wodetsedwa, kapena kuperekako nsembe kwa akufa kalikonse ka gawoli. Ine ndamvera Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndachita chilichonse chimene inu munandilamula.
15 Look down from your holy house, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given them, as you did swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
Yangʼanani pa dziko kuchokera kumwamba, ku malo anu wopatulika, ndi kudalitsa anthu anu Aisraeli ndi dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi limene mwatipatsa ife monga momwe munalonjezera pa malumbiro anu kwa makolo athu.”
16 On this day the Lord your God charged you to keep all the ordinances and judgements; and you shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulamulani lero lino kuti mutsate malangizo ndi malamulo ake ndipo muwasunge mosamalitsa ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.
17 You have chosen God this day to be your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgements, and to listen to his voice.
Mwanena motsimikiza lero lino kuti Yehova ndiye Mulungu wanu ndi kuti mudzayenda mʼnjira zake, kusunga malangizo, malamulo ndi zonse akukulamulani ndi kutinso mudzamumvera.
18 And the Lord has chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
Ndipo Yehova wanenetsa lero lino kuti inu ndinu anthu ake, chuma chake chamtengowapatali monga momwe analonjezera, ndipo mukuyenera kusunga malamulo ake onse.
19 and that you should be above all nations, as he has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.
Iye wanenetsa kuti adzakuyikani kukhala oyamikika, otchuka ndi olemekezeka koposa mitundu yonse imene anayilenga. Komanso mudzakhala anthu opatulika a Yehova Mulungu wanu monga momwe analonjezera.
