Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose pa phiri la Sinai kuti,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye shall come into the lande which I giue you, the lande shall keepe Sabbath vnto the Lord.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Mukadzalowa mʼdziko limene ndikukupatsani, nthakayo iyenera kumakasunga Sabata la Yehova.
3 Sixe yeeres thou shalt sowe thy field, and sixe yeeres thou shalt cut thy vineyarde, and gather the fruite thereof.
Pa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muzikalima minda yanu, ndipo kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muzikasadza mitengo yanu ya mpesa ndi kuthyola zipatso zake.
4 But the seuenth yeere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande: it shall be the Lordes Sabbath: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde.
Koma chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi chaka choti nthaka ipume, chaka cha Sabata la Yehova. Musalime mʼminda yanu kapena kusadza mitengo yanu ya mpesa.
5 That which groweth of it owne accorde of thy haruest, thou shalt not reape, neither gather the grapes that thou hast left vnlaboured: for it shalbe a yeere of rest vnto the land.
Musakolole zimene zinamera zokha mʼmunda mwanu. Musakakolole kapena kuthyola mphesa za mʼmitengo imene simunasadze. Chaka chimenechi nʼchoti nthaka ipumule.
6 And the rest of the lande shall be meate for you, euen for thee, and for thy seruant, and for thy mayde, and for thy hired seruant, and for the stranger that soiourneth with thee:
Chaka chimene nthakayo ipumula mudzakhala ndi chakudya chokwanira inuyo, akapolo anu aamuna ndi aakazi, antchito ndi alendo okhala nanu.
7 And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande shall all the encrease thereof be meate.
Ziweto zanu pamodzi ndi nyama za mʼdziko lanu zizidzadya zipatso za mʼnthaka.
8 Also thou shalt number seuen Sabbaths of yeeres vnto thee, euen seuen times seuen yeere: and the space of the seuen Sabbaths of yeeres will be vnto thee nine and fourtie yeere.
“‘Muzichotsera Masabata asanu ndi awiri a zaka, ndi kuchulukitsa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri kasanu ndi kawirinso kuti Masabata asanu ndi awiri a zakawo akwane zaka 49.
9 Then thou shalt cause to blow the trumpet of the Iubile in the tenth day of the seuenth moneth: euen in the day of the reconciliation shall ye make the trumpet blowe, throughout all your lande.
Ndipo pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri mulize lipenga mofuwula. Tsiku lochita mwambo wopepesera machimo muziliza lipenga mʼdziko lanu lonse.
10 And ye shall halowe that yeere, euen the fiftieth yeere, and proclaime libertie in the lande to all the inhabitants thereof: it shalbe the Iubile vnto you, and ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession, and euery man shall returne vnto his familie.
Mupatule chaka cha makumi asanu, ndipo mulengeze kuti pakhale ufulu mʼdziko lonse kwa onse amene ali mʼmenemo. Kwa inu chakachi chidzakhala choyimba lipenga la chikondwerero. Aliyense wa inu adzayenera kubwerera pa munda wake, ndipo aliyense wa inu adzabwerera ku fuko lake.
11 This fiftieth yeere shalbe a yeere of Iubile vnto you: ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes thereof, that are left vnlaboured.
Kwa inu chakachi chidzakhaladi chaka choyimba lipenga kukondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Pa chaka chimenechi musadzale kanthu ndipo musakolole mbewu zomera zokha kapenanso kuthyola mphesa pa mitengo yosasadzira.
12 For it is the Iubile, it shall be holy vnto you: ye shall eate of the encrease thereof out of the fielde.
Chimenechi ndi chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Choncho chikhale chaka chopatulika kwa inu. Muzidya zokhazo zimene zakololedwa mʼminda.
13 In the yeere of this Iubile, ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession.
“‘Chaka chimenechi ndi choliza lipenga, kukondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo aliyense abwerere pa malo ake.
14 And when thou sellest ought to thy neighbour, or byest at thy neighbours hande, ye shall not oppresse one another:
“‘Ngati unagulitsa kapena kugula malo ako kwa mnzako wa mʼdzikomo, pasakhale kuchenjeretsana.
15 But according to the nomber of yeeres after the Iubile thou shalt bye of thy neighbour: also according to the nomber of the yeeres of the reuenues, he shall sell vnto thee.
Ugule kwa mnzako potsata chiwerengero cha zaka zimene zatha kuyambira pa chikondwerero cha chaka cha makumi asanu chapita. Ndipo mnzakoyo akugulitse potsata chiwerengero cha zaka zokolola zomwe zatsala.
16 According to the multitude of yeeres, thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewnesse of yeeres, thou shalt abate the price of it: for the nomber of fruites doeth he sell vnto thee.
Zaka zikakhala zochuluka, uwonjezere mtengo, ndipo zaka zikakhala zochepa, uchepetse mtengo, pakuti chimene iye akukugulitsa ndi zaka zokolola.
17 Oppresse not ye therefore any man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: for I am the Lord your God.
Musachenjeretsane koma muope Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
18 Wherefore ye shall obey mine ordinances, and keepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie.
“‘Tsatirani malangizo anga ndipo mverani mosamala malamulo anga ndipo mudzakhala mʼdzikomo mwamtendere.
19 And the lande shall giue her fruite, and ye shall eate your fill, and dwell therein in safetie.
Ndipo nthaka idzakupatsani zipatso zake. Mudzadya mpaka kukhuta ndiponso mudzakhala mʼdzikomo mwamtendere.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere, for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase?
Mwina nʼkafunsa kuti, ‘Kodi chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri tidzadya chiyani ngati sitidzala kapena kukolola mbewu zathu?’
21 I will sende my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring foorth fruite for three yeeres.
Ine ndidzatumiza madalitso ambiri chaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi moti nthaka yanu idzabala zinthu zokwanira kudya zaka zitatu.
22 And ye shall sowe the eight yeere, and eate of the olde fruite vntill the ninth yeere: vntill the fruite thereof come, ye shall eate the olde.
Pamene mukudzala chaka chachisanu ndi chitatu, muzidzadya chakudya chogonera ndipo mudzapitirira kudya mpaka nthawi yokolola mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chinayi.
23 Also the lande shall not be solde to be cut off from the familie: for the land is mine, and ye be but strangers and soiourners with me.
“‘Malo asagulitsidwe mpaka muyaya chifukwa dzikolo ndi langa. Inu ndinu alendo okhala ndi Ine.
24 Therefore in all the land of your possession ye shall graunt a redemption for the lande.
Malo onse amene ali mʼmanja mwanu mudzalole kuti amene anakugulitsani awawombole.
25 If thy brother be impouerished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, euen his neere kinsman, and bye out that which his brother solde.
“‘Ngati Mwisraeli mnzanu wasauka nagulitsako gawo lina la malo ake, mʼbale wake wapaphata abwere kudzawombola malo amene mʼbale wakeyo wagulitsa.
26 And if he haue no redeemer, but hath gotten and founde to bye it out,
Koma ngati munthuyo alibe wachibale woti nʼkuwombola malowo koma pambuyo pake iye mwini nʼkulemera ndi kupeza zokwanira kuwombolera, awombole malowo.
27 Then shall he count the yeeres of his sale, and restore the ouerplus to the man, to whome he solde it: so shall he returne to his possession.
Awerengerane zaka kuyambira pamene anagulitsa mundawo ndipo amubwezere amene anagulayo ndalama zimene akanayenera kuzipereka mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Atatero angathe kubwerera pa malo ake.
28 But if he can not get sufficient to restore to him, then that which is solde, shall remaine in the hande of him that hath bought it, vntill the yere of the Iubile: and in the Iubile it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession.
Koma ngati sakhala nazo zokwanira kuti amubwezere amene anagula malowo, gawo limene anagulitsalo lidzakhala mʼmanja mwa munthu amene anagulayo mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Malowo adzabwezedwa chaka chimenechi, ndipo iye adzatha kubwerera pa malo ake.
29 Likewise if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled citie, he may bye it out againe within a whole yeere after it is solde: within a yeere may he bye it out.
“‘Ngati munthu agulitsa nyumba ya mu mzinda umene uli mu linga, angathe kuyiwombola nyumbayo chisanathe chaka chathunthu chigulitsire. Mu nthawi imeneyi wogulitsayo atha kuyiwombola.
30 But if it be not bought out within ye space of a ful yeere, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablished, as cut off from the familie, to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not goe out in the Iubile.
Ngati nyumbayo siwomboledwa chisanathe chaka chimodzicho, nyumbayo idzakhala ya amene anagulayo ndi zidzukulu zake mpaka muyaya. Sidzabwezedwanso kwa mwini wake mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu.
31 But the houses of villages, which haue no walles round about them, shalbe esteemed as the fielde of the countrey: they may be bought out againe, and shall goe out in the Iubile.
Koma nyumba za mʼmizinda yosazingidwa ndi linga ziwomboledwe monga mmene achitira ndi minda ya mʼdzikomo.
32 Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons.
“‘Alevi ali ndi ufulu owombola nyumba zawo za mʼmidzi yawo nthawi ina iliyonse.
33 And if a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession shall goe out in the Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Koma ngati Mlevi sawombola nyumba imene inagulitsidwa mʼmudzi mwake, ndiye kuti idzabwezedwe mʼchaka choliza lipenga pokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, popeza nyumba zimenezi zili mʼmidzi ya Alevi ndi yawo pakati pa Aisraeli.
34 But the fielde of the suburbes of their cities, shall not be solde: for it is their perpetuall possession.
Koma malo owetera ziweto a mʼmidzi yawoyo sayenera kugulitsidwa. Awa ndi malo awo mpaka muyaya.
35 Moreouer, if thy brother be impouerished, and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieue him, and as a stranger and soiourner, so shall he liue with thee.
“‘Ngati mʼbale wako akhala wosauka kuti sangathe kudzisamalira yekha, umuthandize. Ukhale naye ngati mlendo kapena ngati munthu amene ukhala naye kwa kanthawi.
36 Thou shalt take no vsurie of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee.
Usalandire chiwongoladzanja chilichonse kuchokera kwa iye kapena kuwonjezerapo kanthu kena, koma uziopa Mulungu kuti mʼbale wakoyo akhale nawe.
37 Thou shalt not giue him thy money to vsurie, nor lende him thy vitailes for increase.
Musakongoze mnzanu ndalama kuti mulandire chiwongoladzanja, kapena kumugulitsa chakudya kuti mupeze phindu.
38 I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to giue you the lande of Canaan, and to be your God.
Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto kuti ndikupatseni dziko la Kanaani ndi kuti ndikhale Mulungu wanu.
39 If thy brother also that dwelleth by thee, be impouerished, and be sold vnto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serue as a bond seruant,
“‘Ngati mʼbale wanu asauka ndipo adzigulitsa yekha kwa inu, musamugwiritse ntchito ngati kapolo.
40 But as an hired seruant, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee: he shall serue thee vnto the yeere of the Iubile.
Akhale ngati wantchito kapena ngati mlendo. Akugwirireni ntchito mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu.
41 Then shall he depart from thee, both hee, and his children with him, and shall returne vnto his familie, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne:
Kenaka iye ndi ana ake achoke, ndipo apite ku fuko lake ndi kubwerera ku malo a makolo ake.
42 For they are my seruants, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypt: they shall not be solde as bondmen are solde.
Chifukwa Aisraeli ndi atumiki anga amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, asagulitsidwe ngati akapolo.
43 Thou shalt not rule ouer him cruelly, but shalt feare thy God.
Musawalamulire mwankhanza koma wopani Mulungu wanu.
44 Thy bond seruant also, and thy bond maid, which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye bye seruants and maydes.
“‘Kunena za akapolo aamuna ndi aakazi, amenewa mungathe kuwagula kuchokera kwa mitundu ya anthu imene yakuzungulirani.
45 And moreouer of the children of the stragers, that are soiourners among you, of them shall ye bye, and of their families that are with you, which they begate in your lande: these shall be your possession.
Mungathenso kugula akapolo kuchokera kwa alendo amene akukhala nanu kapena kuchokera ku mabanja amene mukukhala nawo amene ndi mbadwa za mʼdziko lanu. Iwowa akhoza kukhala akapolo anu.
46 So ye shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possesse them by inheritance, ye shall vse their labours for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one ouer another with crueltie.
Akapolowo mungathe kuwasiya mʼmanja mwa ana anu inu mutafa kuti akhale cholowa chawo moyo wawo wonse. Koma musawalamulire mwankhanza Aisraeli anzanu.
47 If a soiourner or a stranger dwelling by thee get riches, and thy brother by him be impouerished, and sell him selfe vnto the stranger or soiourner dwelling by thee, or to the stocke of the strangers familie,
“‘Ngati mlendo kapena munthu amene akukhala nanu kwa kanthawi kochepa alemera ndipo mmodzi wa abale anu amene akukhala naye pafupi nʼkusauka, nadzigulitsa yekha kwa mlendo amene akukhala pakati panuyo kapena kwa mmodzi wa fuko la munthu wongokhala pafupi nayeyo,
48 After that he is solde, he may be bought out: one of his brethren may bye him out,
wodzigulitsayo ali ndi ufulu wowomboledwa. Mmodzi mwa abale ake angathe kumuwombola:
49 Or his vncle, or his vncles sonne may bye him out, or any of the kindred of his flesh among his familie, may redeeme him: either if he can get so much, he may bye him selfe out.
amalume ake kapena mwana wa amalume ake, kapena wachibale wa mu fuko lake. Kapena ngati iye mwini alemera, atha kudziwombola yekha.
50 Then he shall recken with his byer from the yeere that he was solde to him, vnto the yere of Iubile: and the money of his sale shalbe according to the number of yeeres: according to the time of an hyred seruant shall he be with him.
Iye pamodzi ndi munthu amene anamugulayo awerengerane kuyambira chaka chimene anadzigulitsa kwa iyeyo mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Mtengo wodziwombolera ukhale wofanana ndi zakazo. Ndipo nthawi imene anali ndi mbuye wakeyo iwerengedwe ngati nthawi ya munthu wantchito.
51 If there be many yeeres behind, according to them he shall giue againe for his deliuerance, of the money that he was bought for.
Ngati patsala zaka zambiri, iye ayenera kulipira mtengo woposera umene anamugulira.
52 If there remaine but fewe yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according to his yeeres giue againe for his redemption.
Ngati kwatsala zaka zochepa kuti ifike nthawi ya chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, iye awerengerane ndi mbuye wake, ndipo apereke ndalama za zowomboledwera molingana ndi zaka zotsalazo.
53 He shalbe with him yeere by yeere as an hired seruant: he shall not rule cruelly ouer him in thy sight.
Azikhala naye ngati wantchito wolembedwa chaka ndi chaka. Ndipo muonetsetse kuti mbuye wakeyo sakumulamulira mwankhanza.
54 And if he be not redeemed thus, he shall go out in the yeere of Iubile, he, and his children with him.
“‘Ngakhale munthuyo atapanda kuwomboledwa mwa njira zimenezi, iye ndi ana ake ayenera kumasulidwa mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu,
55 For vnto me the children of Israel are seruants: they are my seruants, who I haue brought out of the land of Egypt: I am ye Lord your God.
pakuti Aisraeli ndi atumiki anga. Iwo ndi atumiki anga amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
