Deuteronomy 7
1 When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou:
Pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakufikitsani mʼdziko limene mukukalowa ndi kulilanda ndi kuthamangitsa pamaso panu mitundu ya anthu iyi: Ahiti, Agirigasi, Aamori, Akanaani, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi; yomwe ndi mitundu isanu ndi iwiri yayikulu ndi yamphamvu kuposa inu;
2 And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor shew mercy to them:
Yehova Mulungu wanu akadzawapereka mʼmanja mwanu, ndipo inu mukadzawagonjetsa, mudzawawononge kwathunthu. Musadzachite mgwirizano ndi anthuwo ndiponso musadzawachitire chifundo.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:
Musadzakwatirane nawo. Musadzapereke ana anu aakazi kwa ana awo aamuna kapena kutenga ana anu aamuna ndi kuwapereka kwa ana awo aakazi.
4 For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.
Mukadzatero, iwo adzasocheretsa ana anu aamuna kuti asanditsatire ndi kutumikira milungu ina. Motero Yehova adzakukwiyirani ndi kukuwonongani mwachangu.
5 But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven things.
Koma mukachite izi: Mukagumule maguwa awo ansembe, mukaswe miyala yawo yachipembedzo, mukadule mitengo yawo ya Asera, ndi kutentha mafano awo pa moto.
6 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
Pakuti inu ndinu anthu opatulika kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Yehova Mulungu wanu anakusankhani pakati pa anthu onse pa dziko lapansi kuti mukhale ake, chuma chake cha mtengo wapatali.
7 Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
Yehova sanakukondeni chifukwa choti munali ochuluka kuposa ena pakuti inuyo ndiye munali ochepetsetsa mwa anthu onse.
8 But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
Koma chifukwa chakuti Yehova anakukondani nasunga lumbiro lake limene analumbira kwa makolo anu. Ndi chifukwa chake anakutulutsani ndi mphamvu yake yopanda malire ndi kukupulumutsani ku dziko la ukapolo, kuchoka mʼmanja mwa Farao mfumu ya ku Igupto.
9 And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
Choncho dziwani kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndi Mulungu. Iye ndi Mulungu wokhulupirika, wosunga pangano lake la chikondi chosasinthika ku mibadomibado, kwa iwo amene amamukonda nasunga malamulo ake.
10 And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
Koma iwo amene amamuda adzawabwezera powawononga pamaso pawo; sadzachedwa kuwabwezera iwo amene amadana naye.
11 Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
Choncho muziyesetsa kusunga malamulo, malangizo ndi maphunziro amene ndikukulamulani lero lino kuti muchite.
12 If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
Mukamvera malamulo amenewa, ndi kusamala kuwatsata, ndiye kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasunga pangano lake la chikondi chosasinthika ndi inu, monga analumbira kwa makolo anu.
13 And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
Iye adzakukondani nakudalitsani ndi kukuchulukitsani. Adzadalitsa chipatso cha mʼmimba mwanu, zokolola za mʼdziko mwanu, tirigu wanu, vinyo wanu ndi mafuta anu, ana angʼombe zanu ndi ana ankhosa zanu mʼdziko limene analumbirira kwa makolo anu kuti akupatseni inu.
14 Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
Inu mudzadalitsika kuposa mtundu wina uliwonse wa anthu ndipo palibe mwamuna kapena mkazi aliyense pakati panu amene adzakhale wosabereka. Ziweto zanu nazonso, sipadzapezeka zosabereka.
15 The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.
Yehova adzakupewetsani ku matenda aliwonse. Sadzakugwetserani matenda owopsa aja munawadziwa ku Igupto, koma adzawagwetsera pa odana nanu.
16 Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
Muwononge anthu onse amene Yehova Mulungu wanu awapereka kwa inu. Musawamvere chisoni ndipo musatumikire milungu yawo pakuti umenewo udzakhala msampha kwa inu.
17 If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?
Mukhoza kunena kuti, “Anthu awa ndi amphamvu kuposa ifeyo. Nanga tingawapirikitse bwanji?”
18 Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians,
Koma musachite nawo mantha, kumbukirani bwino zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anachita ndi Farao pamodzi ndi Igupto yense.
19 The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom thou fearest.
Munadzionera nokha ndi maso anu mayesero aakulu, zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa, mphamvu yake yopanda malire imene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakutulutsirani. Yehova Mulungu adzachita zimenezo ndi anthu onse amene muwaopa tsopano.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves.
Kuwonjezera apo, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzatumiza mavu pakati pawo mpaka atamaliza onse amene adzakubisalirani.
21 Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:
Musaopsedwe nawo pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ali pakati panu, ndi Mulungu wamkulu ndi woopsa.
22 He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.
Yehova Mulungu wanu adzapirikitsa anthu a mitundu yonse pamaso panu, pangʼonopangʼono. Sadzakulolani kuti muwathe nthawi imodzi, kuti nyama zakuthengo zingadzaswane mokuzungulirani.
23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.
Koma Yehova Mulungu wanu adzawapereka kwa inu, adzawasokoneza kufikira atawonongedwa.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them.
Iye adzapereka mafumu awo mʼdzanja lanu, ndipo adzafafaniza mayina awo pa dziko lapansi. Palibe amene adzalimbana nanu, inu mudzawawononga.
25 Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Muwawotche pa moto mafano a milungu yawo. Musasirire siliva ndi golide amene ali pa mafanoyo. Musamutenge kuti akhale wanu chifukwa mukatero mudzakodwa naye ngati msampha, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa nazo.
26 Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.
Musabweretse chinthu chonyansa mʼnyumba mwanu kuopa kuwonongedwa ngati chonyasacho. Muziyipidwa ndi kunyansidwa nacho kwambiri pakuti chidzawonongedwanso.
