Leviticus 21
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person among his people,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Yankhula ndi ansembe, ana a Aaroni, ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Wansembe asadzidetse pokhudza munthu wakufa pakati pa abale ake.
2 except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
Koma akhoza kukhudza thupi lakufa la amayi ake, abambo ake, mwana wake wamwamuna, mwana wake wamkazi, mchimwene wake,
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
kapena mlongo wake wosakwatiwa amene amadalira iye chifukwa sanakwatiwe. Iye akhoza kudzidetsa pokhudza thupi lakufa la mchemwali wake wosakwatiwa yekha.
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
Koma wansembe asadzidetse chifukwa cha anthu amene ali nawo pa ubale obwera chifukwa cha ukwati.
5 they do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;
“‘Ansembe asamete tsitsi kumutu kwawo kapena mʼmphepete mwa ndevu zawo, kapenanso kudzichekacheka pa thupi lawo.
6 they are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
Ayenera kukhala oyera pamaso pa Mulungu wawo ndipo asachititse manyazi dzina la Mulungu wawo. Popeza amapereka nsembe zotentha pa moto kwa Yehova, chakudya cha Mulungu wawo, iwo azikhala woyera.
7 They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
“‘Asakwatire akazi amene adzidetsa ndi chiwerewere kapena akazi amene amuna awo awasudzula, chifukwa ansembe ndi oyera pamaso pa Mulungu wawo.
8 and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying you, [am] holy.
Iwo akhale oyera chifukwa amapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wanu. Muziwaona kuti ndi oyera, popeza Ine Yehova amene ndimawayeretsa ndine woyera, nawonso akhale oyera.
9 And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
“‘Ngati mwana wamkazi wa wansembe adziyipitsa pochita zachiwerewere, ndiye kuti iye akuchititsa manyazi abambo ake; mwanayo atenthedwe pa moto.
10 And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
“‘Munthu amene ali mkulu wa ansembe pakati pa abale ake, amene anamudzoza pomutsanulira mafuta pamutu pake, ndiponso amene anapatulidwa pomuveka zovala zaunsembe, asalekerere tsitsi lake kapena kungʼamba zovala zake kusonyeza kuti ali pa chisoni.
11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
Asalowe mʼnyumba mmene muli munthu wakufa ngakhale womwalirayo ndi amayi ake kapena abambo ake.
12 nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
Asadzidetse potulukira kunja kwa malo opatulika popeza mafuta womupatula kukhala wansembe ali pamutu pake. Ine ndine Yehova.
13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;
“‘Iye akwatire namwali wosadziwa mwamuna.
14 a widow, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,
Asakwatire mkazi wamasiye, mkazi wosudzulidwa, kapena mkazi wachiwerewere, koma akwatire namwali wosadziwa mwamuna pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake,
15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
kuti mtundu wake usakhale wodetsedwa pakati pa abale popeza ndine Yehova, amene ndimamuyeretsa.’”
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
“Muwuze Aaroni kuti, ‘Munthu aliyense mwa zidzukulu zake ku mibado yawo yonse ikubwera akakhala ndi chilema asabwere kudzapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wake.
18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
Munthu aliyense wachilema motere: munthu wakhungu kapena wolumala miyendo, munthu wolumala nkhope kapena waziwalo zambiri,
19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
munthu wa phazi lolumala kapena dzanja lolumala,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
kapena munthu wokhota msana kapena wamfupi kwambiri, kapena wolumala maso, munthu wa nthenda yonyerenyetsa, kapena wamphere, kapenanso wophwanyika mavalo, sayenera kusendera pafupi.
21 No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
Mdzukulu aliyense wa Aaroni wansembe, amene ali ndi chilema asadzayandikire kukapereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova. Popeza kuti ali ndi chilema, asayandikire kudzapereka nsembe ya chakudya kwa Mulungu wake.
22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
Koma iye angathe kudya chakudya chopatulika kwambiri chija, ngakhalenso chakudya chotsala pa nsembe zopatulika.
23 only, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
Koma chifukwa cha kulumala kwake, sayenera kuyandikira katani kapena kufika pa guwa kuti angadetse malo anga wopatulika. Ine ndine Yehova, amene ndimawayeretsa.’”
24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Choncho Mose anawuza Aaroni ndi ana ake pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse zimenezi.
