Numbers 6
1 The Lord told Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati mwamuna kapena mkazi afuna kuchita lonjezo lapadera, lonjezo lodzipatula yekha kwa Yehova ngati Mnaziri,
3 they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
sayenera kumwa vinyo kapena zakumwa zosasa ndipo asamamwe chakumwa chilichonse cha mphesa. Asamamwe madzi a mphesa kapena kudya mphesa zaziwisi kapena zowuma.
4 The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.
Pa nthawi yonse imene ali Mnaziri, asamadye chilichonse chopangidwa kuchokera ku mphesa ngakhale mbewu zake kapena makungu ake.’
5 They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.
“‘Pa nthawi yonse ya lonjezo lodzipatula yekhalo, asamete kumutu kwake ndi lumo. Akhale wopatulika mpaka nthawi yake yonse ya kudzipatula yekha kwa Yehova itatha. Alileke tsitsi la pamutu pake kuti likule.’
6 During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.
Pa nthawi yonse imene munthuyo wadzipatula yekha kwa Yehova asayandikire mtembo.
7 Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.
Ngakhale abambo ake kapena amayi ake kapena mchimwene wake kaya mchemwali wake atamwalira, asadzidetse pokhudza mitembo yawo chifukwa kulumbira kwake kwa kudzipatula yekha kwa Yehova kuli pamutu pake.
8 Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.
Munthuyo ndi wopatulika masiku onse odzipereka kwake kwa Yehova.
9 However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.
“Ngati munthu wina afa mwadzidzidzi pafupi naye ndi kudetsa tsitsi lake loperekedwalo, amete mutu wake pa tsiku lodziyeretsa, tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri.
10 On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Tsono pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu abweretse nkhunda ziwiri kapena mawunda awiri anjiwa kwa wansembe pa khomo lolowera ku tenti ya msonkhano.
11 The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.
Wansembe apereke imodzi kuti ikhale nsembe yauchimo ndi ina nsembe yopsereza yotetezera tchimo chifukwa anachimwa popezeka pafupi ndi mtembo. Ndipo tsiku lomwelo apatulenso tsitsi la pamutu pake.
12 They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.
Adzipereke kwa Yehova pa nthawi yodzipatula ndipo abweretse nkhosa yayimuna ya chaka chimodzi ngati nsembe yopepesera. Masiku akale sawerengedwanso chifukwa anadzidetsa pa nthawi yodzipatulira kwake.
13 These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
“Tsono ili ndi lamulo la Mnaziri pamene nthawi yodzipatula kwake yatha: Abwere naye pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
14 There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.
Pamenepo apereke chopereka chake kwa Yehova: Nkhosa yayimuna ya chaka chimodzi yopanda chilema kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza, mwana wankhosa wamkazi mmodzi wopanda chilema kuti ikhale nsembe yauchimo, ndi nkhosa imodzi yayikulu yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yachiyanjano,
15 In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.
ndipo abwere pamodzi ndi nsembe yachakudya ndi nsembe yachakumwa ndi dengu la buledi wopanda yisiti, makeke opangidwa ndi ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta, ndi timitanda ta buledi topakidwa mafuta.
16 The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.
“Wansembe apereke zimenezi pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuchita nsembe ya uchimo ndi nsembe yopsereza.
17 He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.
Apereke dengu la buledi wopanda yisiti ndiponso nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova ya nkhosa yayimuna, pamodzi ndi chopereka cha chakudya ndi chopereka cha chakumwa.
18 Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.
“Mnaziriyo amete tsitsi limene analipereka lija pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Atenge tsitsilo ndi kuliyika pa moto umene uli pansi pa nsembe yachiyanjano.
19 Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.
“Mnaziriyo atatha kumeta tsitsi analiperekalo, wansembe ayike mʼmanja mwake mwendo wa mmwamba wankhosa yayimuna umene waphikidwa ndipo atengenso keke ndi kamtanda ka buledi, zonse zopanda yisiti zomwe zili mʼdengu lija.
20 The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.
Wansembe aziweyule pamaso pa Yehova ngati nsembe yoweyula. Zimenezi ndi zopatulika ndipo ndi za wansembe pamodzi ndi chidale chimene anachiweyula ndi ntchafu yomwe anayipereka ija. Zitatha izi, Mnaziri akhoza kumwa vinyo.
21 These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”
“Ili ndi lamulo la Mnaziri yemwe walonjeza kudzipereka kwa Yehova podzipatula yekha kuphatikiza pa zomwe angathe kukwaniritsa. Ayenera kukwaniritsa lonjezo lomwe wachitalo potsata lamulo la Mnaziri.”
22 The Lord told Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:
“Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna kuti, ‘Umu ndi mmene muzidalitsira Aisraeli. Muzinena kuti,
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.
“‘Yehova akudalitse ndi kukusunga;
25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
Yehova awalitse nkhope yake pa iwe, nakuchitira chisomo;
26 May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’
Yehova akweze nkhope yake pa iwe, nakupatse mtendere.’”
27 Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”
Choncho akadzatchula dzina langa podalitsa Aisraeli, Ine ndidzawadalitsadi.
