Leviticus 5
1 If any one sin, and hear the voice of one swearing, and is a witness either because he himself hath seen, or is privy to it: if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Ngati munthu anayitanidwa ku bwalo kuti akachitire umboni pa zimene anaziona kapena kuzimva koma iye nʼkukana kuchitira umboni, munthu ameneyo wachimwa ndipo ayenera kulangidwa.
2 Whosoever toucheth any unclean thing, either that which hath been killed by a beast, or died of itself, or any other creeping thing: and forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and hath offended:
“‘Munthu akakhudza chinthu chilichonse chodetsedwa, monga nyama yakufa ya mʼthengo, kapena chiweto chakufa kapenanso chokwawa chakufa, ngakhale iyeyo wachikhudza mosadziwa, wasanduka wodetsedwa ndipo wachimwa.
3 And if he touch any thing of the uncleanness of man, according to any uncleanness wherewith he is wont to be defiled, and having forgotten it, come afterwards to know it, he shall be guilty of an offence.
“‘Munthu akakhudza choyipitsa munthu cha mtundu uliwonse, ndipo pochikhudzapo ndi kuyipitsidwa nacho mosadziwa, munthuyo adzakhala wopalamula akangodziwa chimene wachitacho.
4 The person that sweareth, and uttereth with his lips, that he would do either evil or good, and bindeth the same with an oath, and his word, and having forgotten it afterwards understandeth his offence,
“‘Munthu akalumbira mofulumira kapena mosasamala kuti adzachita chinthu, choyipa kapena chabwino, ngakhale kuti wachita izi mosadziwa kuti nʼkulakwa, pamene wazindira kulakwa kwake, iye adzakhalabe wopalamula akangodziwa chimene wachitacho.
5 Let him do penance for his sin,
“‘Pamene munthu wazindikira kuti wachimwa motere, awulule tchimo limene wachitalo.
6 And offer of the flocks an ewe lamb, or a she goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin:
Pambuyo pake, munthuyo abwere kwa Yehova ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi kapena mbuzi kuti ikhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo ndipo wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera tchimo lomwe wachitalo. Tsono wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera tchimo la munthuyo.
7 But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust,
“‘Ngati munthuyo alibe mwana wankhosa, abweretse njiwa ziwiri kapena nkhunda ziwiri kwa Yehova ngati chopereka chopepesera tchimo lake. Imodzi ikhale nsembe yopepesera tchimo, ndipo inayo ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
8 And he shall give them to the priest: who shall offer the first for sin, and twist back the head of it to the little pinions, so that it stick to the neck, and be not altogether broken off.
Tsono abwere nazo kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo ayambe wapereka mbalame imodzi ngati yopepesera tchimo. Apotole khosi koma osayidula mutu,
9 And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar, and whatsoever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof, because it is for sin.
kenaka awaze magazi a chopereka chopepesera tchimocho mʼmbali mwa guwa. Magazi ena onse awathire pa tsinde la guwa. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera tchimo.
10 And the other he shall burn for a holocaust, as is wont to be done: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
Pambuyo pake wansembe apereke mbalame inayo kuti ikhale chopereka chopsereza potsata mwambo wake. Wansembe atatha kupereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo limene munthu uja wachita, wochimwayo adzakhululukidwa.
11 And if his hand be not able to offer two turtles, or two young pigeons, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of an ephi of flour. He shall not put oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereon, because it is for sin:
“‘Koma ngati munthuyo alibe njiwa ziwiri kapena nkhunda ziwiri, abweretse ufa wosalala wokwanira kilogalamu imodzi kuti ukhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo limene wachita. Asathiremo mafuta kapena lubani chifukwa ndi chopereka chopepesera tchimo.
12 And he shall deliver it to the priest: who shall take a handful thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar for a memorial of him that offered it:
Abweretse ufawo kwa wansembe ndipo wansembeyo atapeko dzanja limodzi kuti ukhale ufa wachikumbutso ndi kuwutentha pa guwa pamodzi ndi chopereka chopsereza kwa Yehova. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera tchimo.
13 Praying for him and making atonement: but the part that is left, he himself shall have for a gift.
Umu ndi mmene wansembe adzachitire mwambo wopepesera machimo ena aliwonse amene munthu wachita, ndipo munthuyo adzakhululukidwa. Zopereka zonse zotsala zidzakhala za wansembeyo monga momwe amachitira ndi chopereka chachakudya.’”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
15 If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary:
“Munthu akachita zinthu mosakhulupirika, nachimwa mosadziwa posapereka zinthu zopatulika zofunika kwa Yehova, munthuyo apereke kwa Yehova nsembe yopepesera machimo ake. Nsembeyo ikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake ukhale wokwana masekeli oyenera a siliva pakawerengedwe ka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula.
16 And he shall make good the damage itself which he hath done, and shall add the fifth part besides, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him, offering the ram, and it shall be forgiven him.
Munthuyo ayenera kubweza zinthu zopatulika zimene sanaperekezo. Awonjezepo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zilizonse ndi kuzipereka zonsezo kwa wansembe amene adzachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a munthuyo, popereka nkhosa yayimuna ija ngati nsembe yopepesera ndipo wochimwayo adzakhululukidwa.
17 If any one sin through ignorance, and do one of those things which by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, understand his iniquity,
“Ngati munthu wachimwa mosadziwa pochita chilichonse chimene Yehova salola, munthuyo ndi wopalamula ndithu, ndipo ayenera kulangidwa.
18 He shall offer of the hocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin: and the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: and it shall be forgiven him,
Abwere kwa wansembe ndi chopereka chopepesera kupalamula kwake. Chopereka chikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake ukhale woyenera nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kumene anachimwa mosadziwako, ndipo munthuyo adzakhululukidwa.
19 Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.
Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula popeza munthuyo wapezeka wolakwa pamaso pa Yehova.”
