Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.
Samalani potsata lamulo lililonse limene ndikukupatsani lero, kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kuchulukana kuti mulande ndi kulowa mʼdziko limene Yehova analumbira kuti adzapereka kwa makolo anu.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that He might afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no.
Kumbukirani mmene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakutsogolerani njira yonse mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi, kukutsitsani ndi kukuyesani kuti adziwe chimene chinali mu mtima mwanu ngati mungathe kusunga malamulo ake kapena ayi.
3 And He afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Iye anakutsitsani nakumvetsani njala kenaka nʼkukudyetsani mana amene anali osadziwika kwa inu kapena makolo anu, kuti akuphunzitseni kuti munthu sadzakhala ndi moyo ndi chakudya chokha koma ndi mawu aliwonse ochokera mʼkamwa mwa Yehova.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Mʼzaka makumi anayi zimenezi, zovala zanu sizinangʼambike ndipo mapazi anu sanatupe.
5 And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Tsono dziwani mu mtima mwanu kuti monga abambo amalanga mwana wawo, momwemonso Yehova Mulungu wanu amakulangani.
6 And thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
Samalirani malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu, kuyenda mʼnjira yake ndi kumuopa Iye.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills;
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulowetsani mʼdziko labwino, dziko lokhala ndi mitsinje ndi mathawale a madzi, akasupe oyenderera mu zigwa ndi mʼmapiri,
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
dziko lokhala ndi tirigu ndi barele, mpesa ndi mitengo ya mkuyu, makangadza, mafuta a olivi ndi uchi;
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
dziko limene buledi sadzasowa ndipo simudzasowa chilichonse; dziko limene miyala yake ndi chitsulo ndipo ku mapiri ake mukhoza kukumbako mkuwa.
10 And thou shalt eat and be satisfied, and bless the LORD thy God for the good land which He hath given thee.
Mukadya ndi kukhuta, yamikani Yehova Mulungu wanu chifukwa cha dziko labwino limene wakupatsani.
11 Beware lest thou forget the LORD thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His ordinances, and His statutes, which I command thee this day;
Samalani kuopa kuti mungayiwale Yehova Mulungu wanu posasunga malamulo, zikhazikitso ndi malangizo ake amene ndikukupatsani lero,
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
kuopa kuti mukadya ndi kukhuta, mukamanga nyumba zabwino ndi kukhalamo,
13 and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
ndi pamene ngʼombe zanu ndi nkhosa zanu zaswana, ndi siliva ndi golide wanu wachuluka ndiponso kuti zonse zimene muli nazo zachuluka,
14 then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
mtima wanu udzayamba kunyada ndi kuyiwala Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto, kukuchotsani ku dziko la ukapolo.
15 who led thee through the great and dreadful wilderness, wherein were serpents, fiery serpents, and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Iye anakutsogolerani kudutsa mʼchipululu chachikulu ndi chochititsa mantha, dziko lija la ludzu ndi lopanda madzi, lokhala ndi njoka zaululu ndi zinkhanira. Iye anatulutsa madzi kuchokera mʼthanthwe lowuma.
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might afflict thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Iye anakupatsani mana kuti mudye mʼchipululu, zinthu zoti ngakhale makolo anu sanazidziwe, kuti akuchepetseni ndi kukuyesani ndipo kuti pa mapeto pake zikuyendereni bwino.
17 and thou say in thy heart: 'My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.'
Mu mtima mwanu mukhoza kuganiza kuti, “Mphamvu zanga ndi kulimbika kwa dzanja langa ndi zimene zandilemeretsa chonchi.”
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Koma kumbukirani Yehova Mulungu chifukwa ndi amene amakupatsani mphamvu zopezera chuma chimenechi kuti atsimikize pangano limene analumbira kwa makolo anu, monga liliri lero lino.
19 And it shall be, if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I forewarn you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Ine ndine mboni yokutsutsani lero lino, kuti mukayiwala Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kutsata milungu ina nʼkumayigwadira, mudzawonongeka ndithu.
20 As the nations that the LORD maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Monga mitundu ina ya anthu imene Yehova anayiwononga pamaso panu, inunso mudzawonongedwa chifukwa chosamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu.
