< Deuteronomy 26 >
1 And it shall be, when you are come in unto the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein;
Mukalowa ndi kukhazikika mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani ngati cholowa chanu,
2 That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the LORD your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name there.
mutengeko zina mwa zipatso zoyamba pa zonse zimene mudzakola mʼnthaka ya dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani ndi kuziyika mʼdengu. Mukatero mupite kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakhazikitsako dzina lake
3 And you shall go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD your God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD swore unto our fathers in order to give us.
ndipo mudzamuwuze wansembe amene ali pa ntchito pa nthawiyo kuti, “Ndikunenetsa lero kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti ndabwera ku dziko limene Yehova analumbirira makolo athu kuti adzatipatsa ife.”
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
Wansembe adzatenga dengulo mʼmanja mwanu ndi kuliyika pansi patsogolo pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 And you shall speak and say before the LORD your God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
Ndipo mudzanenetsa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti, “Abambo anga anali Mwaramu woyendayenda, anapita ku Igupto ndi anthu ochepa nakhala kumeneko. Pambuyo pake anakhala mtundu waukulu, wamphamvu ndi wochuluka.
6 And the Egyptians evil pleaded us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
Koma Aigupto anatisautsa natizunza, kumatigwiritsa ntchito yakalavulagaga.
7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
Kenaka tinafuwulira Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo athu ndipo Yehova anamva mawu athu ndi kuona kusauka, kuvutika ndi kuponderezedwa kwathu.
8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
Kotero Yehova anatitulutsa ku Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu ndi mkono wotambasuka ndi zoopsa zazikulu ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa.
9 And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.
Iye anatibweretsa ku malo ano natipatsa dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi lino.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first-fruits of the land, which you, O LORD, have given me. And you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God:
Ndipo tsopano ndikubweretsa zipatso zoyamba zimene inu Yehova mwandipatsa.” Ikani dengulo pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kuwerama mopereka ulemu pamaso pake.
11 And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given unto you, and unto your house, you, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
Ndipo inu ndi Alevi pamodzi ndi alendo okhala pakati panu mudzakondwera mʼzinthu zonse zabwino zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani, inu ndi a pa banja panu.
12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
Mukatha kupatula chakhumi pa zonse zimene mwakolola mʼchaka chachitatu chimene ndi chaka chakhumi, muzichipereka kwa wansembe, mlendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, kuti pamenepo adye mʼmizinda yanu nakhuta.
13 Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
Kenaka munene kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti “Ndatulutsamo mʼnyumba mwanga gawo lopatulika ndipo ndalipereka kwa Mlevi, mlendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, monga mwa zonse zimene munalamula. Sindinapatuke pa zimene munalamula kapena kuyiwala ndi chimodzi chomwe.
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Sindinadye kalikonse ka gawo lopatulika pamene ndimalira maliro kapena kuchotsapo kalikonse ka gawo lopatulika pamene ndinali wodetsedwa, kapena kuperekako nsembe kwa akufa kalikonse ka gawoli. Ine ndamvera Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndachita chilichonse chimene inu munandilamula.
15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given us, as you sware unto our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Yangʼanani pa dziko kuchokera kumwamba, ku malo anu wopatulika, ndi kudalitsa anthu anu Aisraeli ndi dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi limene mwatipatsa ife monga momwe munalonjezera pa malumbiro anu kwa makolo athu.”
16 This day the LORD your God has commanded you to do these statutes and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all of your heart, and with all your soul.
Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulamulani lero lino kuti mutsate malangizo ndi malamulo ake ndipo muwasunge mosamalitsa ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.
17 You have stand as a witness to the LORD this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
Mwanena motsimikiza lero lino kuti Yehova ndiye Mulungu wanu ndi kuti mudzayenda mʼnjira zake, kusunga malangizo, malamulo ndi zonse akukulamulani ndi kutinso mudzamumvera.
18 And the LORD has stand as a witness to you this day to be his exclusive people, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
Ndipo Yehova wanenetsa lero lino kuti inu ndinu anthu ake, chuma chake chamtengowapatali monga momwe analonjezera, ndipo mukuyenera kusunga malamulo ake onse.
19 And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that you may be an holy people unto the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
Iye wanenetsa kuti adzakuyikani kukhala oyamikika, otchuka ndi olemekezeka koposa mitundu yonse imene anayilenga. Komanso mudzakhala anthu opatulika a Yehova Mulungu wanu monga momwe analonjezera.
