Leviticus 19
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Speak unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and thou shalt say unto them—Holy, shall ye be, —For holy, am I—Yahweh—your God
“Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Khalani oyera mtima chifukwa Ine, Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndine Woyera.
3 Ye shall, every one, revere, his father and his mother, And my sabbaths, shall ye observe, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
“‘Aliyense mwa inu azilemekeza abambo ake ndi amayi ake. Ndipo muzisunga masabata anga. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
4 Do not turn unto things of nought, And, molten gods, shall ye not make to yourselves, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
“‘Musatembenukire ku mafano kapena kudzipangira nokha milungu ya zitsulo zosungunula. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 And when ye would offer a peace-offering unto Yahweh, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
“‘Pamene mukupereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwanjira yoti ilandiridwe.
6 On the day, ye offer it, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, —but, that which remaineth until the third day, in fire, shall be consumed.
Nsembe izidyedwa tsiku lomwe mwayiperekalo kapena mmawa mwake. Chilichonse chotsala mpaka tsiku lachitatu chiyenera kutenthedwa.
7 And, if it, be eaten, on the third day, unclean, it is it shall not be accepted,
Ngati mudya choperekacho tsiku lachitatu, ndiye kuti mwachita chonyansa ndipo chakudyacho sichidzalandiridwa.
8 But he that eateth it, his iniquity, shall bear, because that which had been hallowed unto Yahweh, hath he profaned, —so then that person shall be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
Munthu aliyense amene adya chakudyacho adzasenza machimo ake chifukwa wayipitsa chinthu chimene ndi choyera kwa Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field, in reaping, —nor shalt thou gather up the gleaning of thy harvest.
“‘Pamene mukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu musakolole mpaka mʼmphepete mwa munda, ndipo musatole khunkha lake.
10 And, thy vineyard, shalt thou not go over again, nor gather, every single grape: for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them, I—Yahweh, am your God.
Musakolole mphesa zonse mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa kapena kutola mphesa zakugwa mʼmundamo. Zimenezi muzisiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako.
11 Ye shall not steal, —nor deceive nor lie one man to another;
“‘Musabe. “‘Musamanamizane. “‘Musachitirane zinthu mwachinyengo.
12 Nor swear by my name falsely, —And so profane the name of thy God: I, am Yahweh.
“‘Musalumbire mʼdzina langa monyenga popeza kutero ndi kuyipitsa dzina la Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour nor rob [him], —The wages of him that is hired shall not tarry with thee, until the morning.
“‘Musapsinje mnzanu kapena kumulanda zinthu zake. “‘Musasunge malipiro a munthu wantchito usiku wonse mpaka mmawa.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, Nor, before the blind, place a stumbling-block, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God I, am Yahweh.
“‘Musatemberere wosamva kapena kuyikira munthu wosaona chinthu choti apunthwe nacho patsogolo pake, koma muziopa Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
15 Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, Thou shalt neither respect the person of the poor, Nor prefer the person of the great, —In righteousness, shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
“‘Musamaweruze mopanda chilungamo. Musachite tsankho pakati pa osauka ndi olemera, koma muweruze mlandu wa mnzanu mwachilungamo.
16 Thou shalt not go about talebearing, among thy people Thou shalt not stand by, over the blood of thy neighbour: I, am Yahweh.
“‘Musamapite uku ndi uku kunena bodza pakati pa anthu anu. “‘Musachite kanthu kalikonse kamene kangadzetse imfa kwa mnzanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, —Thou shalt, faithfully reprove, thy neighbour, and not countenance him in sin:
“‘Musamude mʼbale wanu mu mtima mwanu. Koma mudzudzuleni mnzanu moona mtima kuti musakhale wolakwa.
18 Thou shalt not take vengeance neither shalt thou cherish anger against the sons of thy people, So shalt thou love thy neighbour as thyself, —I, am Yahweh.
“‘Musamubwezere mnzanu choyipa kapena kumusungira kanthu kunkhosi, koma konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini. Ine ndine Yehova.
19 My statutes, shall ye observe, Thy beasts, shalt thou not cause to breed in two kinds, Thy field, shalt thou not sow with two sorts of seed, —And a garment woven of diverse threads, shalt thou not suffer to come upon thee.
“‘Muzisunga malangizo anga. “‘Tsono musamalole kuti ngʼombe zanu zikwerane ndi chiweto cha mtundu wina. “‘Ndiponso musamadzale mbewu za mitundu iwiri mʼmunda umodzi. “‘Musavale chovala chopangidwa ndi nsalu za mitundu iwiri.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, she being a bondmaid, acquired for a husband, and neither, redeemed, nor, freedom, given her, inquisition, shall be made they shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi kapolo wamkazi amene wafunsidwa mbeta ndi munthu wina, koma sanawomboledwe kapenanso kulandira ufulu wake, alangidwe. Koma onsewa asaphedwe, chifukwa mkaziyo anali asanalandire ufulu wake.
21 but he shall bring in his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, —even a ram as a guilt-bearer;
Koma mwamunayo abwere ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kwa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Nsembe yake ikhale nkhosa yayimuna
22 and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over him with the guilt-bearing ram before Yahweh, on account of his sin which he hath committed, —so shall he have forgiveness, from his sin which he hath committed.
ndipo wansembe achite nayo mwambo wopepesera chifukwa cha kupalamula kumene anachita pamaso pa Yehova. Akatero tchimo lake lidzakhululukidwa.
23 And when ye come into the land, and plant any manner of fruit-tree, then shall ye count as uncircumcised the fruit thereof, three years, shall it be to you as if unclean, it shall not be eaten.
“‘Mukadzalowa mʼdzikomo ndi kudzala mtengo wa mtundu uliwonse wa zipatso, zipatso zakezo mudzaziyese ngati zodetsedwa. Ndiye kuti kwa zaka zitatu zidzakhale zoletsedwa kwa inu. Musadzazidye nthawi imeneyi.
24 But, in the fourth year, all the fruit thereof shall be hallowed for a festival of thanksgiving unto Yahweh.
Chaka chachinayi, zipatso zake zonse zidzakhala zopatulika, ndipo zidzakhala chopereka cha matamando kwa Yehova.
25 And in the fifth year, shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may enrich you with its increase, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
Koma chaka chachisanu, mudzatha kudya zipatso zake kuti mitengoyo idzakubalireni zochuluka. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
26 Ye shall eat nothing with the blood thereof, —Ye shall not practise divination neither shall ye use magic.

28 Cuttings for a dead person, shall ye not make in your flesh. And punctures in your persons, shall ye not print, —I, am Yahweh.
“‘Musadzichekecheke pathupi panu chifukwa cha munthu wakufa kapena kudzitema mphini pa thupi lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
29 Do not profane thy daughter by causing her to be unchaste, —lest the land fall to unchastity, and so the land be filled with wickedness.
“‘Musamuyipitse mwana wanu wamkazi pomusandutsa mkazi wachiwerewere. Mukatero dziko lidzasanduka la anthu achiwerewere ndi lodzaza ndi zoyipa.
30 My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.
“‘Muzisunga Masabata anga ndipo muzilemekeza malo anga opatulika. Ine ndine Yehova.
31 Do not turn unto mediums, Nor, for oracles, make search, To render yourselves unclean with them, I—Yahweh, am your God.

32 Before a hoary head, shalt thou rise up, And shalt honour the presence of an elder, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God—I, am Yahweh.
“‘Muzikhala mwa ulemu pamaso pa munthu wachikulire, ndipo muzichitira ulemu munthu wokalamba. Kumeneko ndiye kuopa Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
33 And, when there sojourneth with thee a sojourner in your land, ye shall not oppress him:
“‘Pamene mlendo akhala nanu mʼdziko mwanu, musamuzunze.
34 As one home born from among yourselves, shall be unto you the sojourner who sojourneth with you, So shalt thou love him as thyself, For, sojourners, became ye, in the land of Egypt, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
Mlendo amene akhala nanu akhale ngati mmodzi mwa mbadwa zanu. Mumukonde monga momwe mumadzikondera inu nomwe. Paja inu munali alendo mʼdziko la Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
35 Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, —in measures of extent, in weights in measures of capacity:
“‘Musamachite za chinyengo poweruza mlandu, kapena poyeza utali, kulemera ngakhalenso kuchuluka kwa zinthu.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah and a just hin, shall ye have, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
Miyeso ya sikelo, miyeso yoyezera kulemera kwa zinthu, miyeso yotchedwa efa ndi miyeso yotchedwa hini zikhale zolungama. Ine ndine Yehova, Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani ku dziko la Igupto.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations and do them, —I, am Yahweh.
“‘Choncho muzisunga malangizo ndi malamulo angawa ndi kuwatsatira. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
