Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk upon the earth.
Awa ndi malangizo ndi malamulo amene muyenera kusamalitsanso kuti muwatsatire mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu wakupatsani kuti mutenge pa nthawi yonse imene muti mudzakhale mʼdzikomo.
2 Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady tree:
Muwonongeretu kwathunthu malo onse a pamwamba pa mapiri ataliatali ndi pa mapiri angʼonoangʼono ndi pansi pa mtengo uliwonse wotambalala pamene mitundu imene muyilande dzikolo ankapembedzerapo milungu yawo.
3 Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.
Mugumule maguwa awo ansembe, ndi kuphwanya miyala yawo yachipembedzo ndipo mutenthe pa moto mafano awo a Asera: mugwetse mafano a milungu yawo ndi kufafaniza mayina awo mʼmalo amenewo.
4 You shall not do so to the Lord your God:
Musapembedze Yehova Mulungu wanu monga mmene amachitira iwowa.
5 But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in it:
Koma inu muzifunafuna kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe pakati pa mafuko anu kuti ayikeko dzina lake ndi kukhalako. Ku malo amenewa muyenera kupitako.
6 And you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and your sheep.
Kumeneko muzipititsako zopereka zanu ndi nsembe zanu zopsereza, ndi chakhumi chanu ndi mphatso zapadera zimene munalonjeza kupereka ndi zopereka zanu zaufulu ndi ana oyamba a ngʼombe zanu ndi nkhosa zanu.
7 And you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you shall rejoice in all things, whereunto you shall put your hand, you and your houses wherein the Lord your God hath blessed you.
Kumeneko, pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu, inu ndi mabanja anu mudzadya ndi kusangalalako pa china chilichonse chimene mudzakhudza, chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsani.
8 You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.
Musadzachite monga tikuchitira lero lino, aliyense kumachita zimene akuona kuti ndi zoyenera,
9 For until this present time you are not come to refit, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.
pakuti simunafike ku malo opumulirako ndi ku cholowa chimene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
10 You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear,
Koma mudzawoloka Yorodani ndi kukhazikika mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani ngati cholowa chanu, ndipo Iye adzakupatsani inu mpumulo ku adani anu okuzungulirani kuti mukhale motchinjirizidwa.
11 In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord.
Tsono kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe kuti azikhalako muzikabweretsako chilichonse chimene ndikulamulirani inu: zopereka ndi nsembe zanu zopsereza, chakhumi chanu ndi mphatso zapadera, ndi chuma chanu chonse chosankhika chimene munalonjeza kwa Yehova.
12 There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maid-servants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among you.
Ndipo kumeneko inu mukasangalale pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pamodzi ndi ana anu aamuna ndi ana anu aakazi, antchito anu aamuna ndi adzakazi anu, ndi Alevi a mʼmidzi yanu, amene alibe gawo kapena cholowa chawochawo.
13 Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see:
Musamalitse kuti musakaphere nsembe zanu zopsereza paliponse pamene mungafune.
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and shalt do all that I command thee.
Mukaphere pa malo okhawo amene Yehova adzawasankhe mwa limodzi la mafuko anu, ndipo kumeneko mukasunge chilichonse chimene ndikulamulireni.
15 But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:
Koma mukhoza kumapha ziweto zanu mʼmizinda iliyonse ndi kudya nyama yake mmene mungafunire, ngati kuti ndi agwape kapena mbawala, monga mwadalitso limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani. Woyeretsedwa ndi wosayeretsedwa akhoza kuyidya.
16 Only the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
Koma musamadye magazi. Muziwathira pansi ngati madzi.
17 Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands:
Musamadyere mʼmizinda yanu chakhumi cha tirigu wanu ndi vinyo watsopano ndi mafuta, kapena za ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe zanu ndi nkhosa zanu, kapena chilichonse chimene mwalonjeza kuchipereka, nsembe zanu zaufulu, kapena mphatso zapadera,
18 But thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put thy hand.
mʼmalo mwake, muzidya pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu, kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhira inu, ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi, antchito anu aamuna ndi adzakazi anu, ndi Alevi ochokera mʼmizinda yanu, ndipo mudzasangalale pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pa chilichonse chimene mudzachikhudza.
19 Take heed thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land.
Muonetsetse kuti musawataye Alevi pa masiku onse amene mukhale mʼdziko lanumo.
20 When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth:
Yehova Mulungu wanu akadzakulitsa dziko lanu monga anakulonjezerani, ndipo mukapukwa nyama mumanena kuti, “Ndikufuna nyama,” pamenepo mudzadya mmene mungafunire.
21 And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee.
Ngati malo amene Yehova Mulungu wanu awasankha kuti ayike Dzina lake ali kutali kwambiri ndi inu, mukhoza kupha ziweto pakati pa ngʼombe ndi nkhosa zimene Yehova wakupatsani, monga ndinakulamulani, ndipo mʼmizinda yanuyanu mukhoza kuzidya mmene mungafunire.
22 Even as the roe and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the clean and unclean shall eat of them alike.
Muzidye ngati mukudya gwape kapena mbawala. Onse oyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo ndi osayeretsedwa omwe akhoza kudya.
23 Only beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul with the flesh:
Koma muonetsetse kuti musadye magazi, chifukwa magazi ndi moyo, ndipo musamadye moyo pamodzi ndi nyama.
24 But thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water,
Inu musamadye magazi, muziwathira pansi ngati madzi.
25 That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Musamadye magazi kuti zikuyendereni bwino inu pamodzi ndi ana anu a pambuyo panu, popeza mudzakhala mukuchita zoyenera pamaso pa Mulungu.
26 But the things which thou hast sanctified and vowed to the Lord, thou shalt take, and shalt come to the place which the Lord shall choose:
Koma mutenge zinthu zanu zoyeretsedwa ndi china chilichonse chimene munalumbira kupereka, ndi kupita kumalo kumene Yehova adzasankhe.
27 And shalt offer thy oblations the flesh and the blood upon the altar of the Lord thy God: the blood of thy victims thou shalt pour on the altar: and the flesh thou thyself shalt eat.
Mupereke nsembe zanu zopsereza pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu, nyama pamodzi ndi magazi omwe. Magazi a nsembe zanu athiridwe pambali pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu, koma nyamayo mukhoza kudya.
28 Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.
Onetsetsani kuti muzimvera mawu onsewa amene ndikukupatsani kuti zinthu zizikuyenderani bwino nthawi zonse inu ndi ana anu chifukwa mudzakhala mukuchita zabwino ndi zoyenera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
29 When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
Yehova Mulungu wanu adzachotsa pamaso panu mitundu ya anthu amene mukufuna kuwathira nkhondo ndi kuwalanda dzikolo. Koma mukawapirikitsa ndi kukhazikika mʼdziko lawo,
30 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
ndipo pamene iwo awonongeka pamaso panu, samalirani kuti musakodwe mu msampha pa kufufuza za milungu yawo, nʼkumati, “Kodi anthu a mitunduwa amatumikira bwanji milungu yawo? Ifenso tichita momwemo.”
31 Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
Musapembedze Yehova Mulungu wanu momwe amachitira iwowo, chifukwa popembedza milungu yawoyo amachita zonyansa zamitundumitundu zimene Yehova amadana nazo. Amatentha ngakhale ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi pa moto ngati nsembe za kwa milungu yawo.
32 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
Onetsetsani kuti mukuchita zimene ndikukulamulirani. Musawonjezerepo kapena kuchotserapo.
