< Leviticus 24 >

1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
“Lamula Aisraeli kuti akupatse mafuta anyale, a olivi wabwino kwambiri kuti nyalezo ziziyaka nthawi zonse.
3 Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
Kunja kwa nsalu yotchinga Bokosi la Chipangano, mʼchihema cha msonkhano, Aaroni azionetsetsa kuti nyale ikukhala chiyakire pamaso pa Yehova kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa, nthawi zonse. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yonse.
4 Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
Aaroni ayatse nyale zimene zili pa choyikapo nyale chagolide wabwino kwambiri kuti zikhale zoyaka nthawi zonse pamaso pa Yehova.
5 “Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
“Mutenge ufa wosalala ndipo muphike makeke khumi ndi awiri ndipo keke iliyonse ikhale ya ufa wa makilogalamu awiri.
6 Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
Muwayike pa tebulo la golide wabwino kwambiri pamaso pa Yehova mʼmizere iwiri. Mzere uliwonse ukhale wa makeke asanu ndi imodzi.
7 Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
Pa mzere uliwonse muyikepo lubani wafungo lokoma kuti pamodzi ndi bulediyo akhale wachikumbutso cha nsembe yopsereza yopereka kwa Yehova.
8 New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
Sabata ndi sabata nthawi zonse Aaroni aziyika makeke amenewa pamaso pa Yehova mʼmalo mwa Aisraeli onse kuti akhale pangano lamuyaya.
9 The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
Chakudyacho ndi cha Aaroni ndi ana ake ndipo azidyera ku malo wopatulika chifukwa kwa iye chakudyacho ndi chopatulika kwambiri chochokera pa chopereka chopsereza cha Yehova.”
10 There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
Tsiku lina munthu wina wamwamuna amene amayi ake anali Mwisraeli koma abambo ake anali Mwigupto anapita kwa Aisraeli ndipo anakangana ndi Mwisraeli wina ku msasa.
Munthu uja ananyoza dzina la Yehova ndi kulitemberera. Choncho anabwera naye kwa Mose. Dzina la amayi ake linali Selomiti, mwana wa Dibiri, wa fuko la Dani.
12 So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
Anamuyika mʼndende mpaka atadziwa bwino chofuna cha Yehova.
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
14 “[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
“Pita naye kunja kwa msasa munthu wotembererayo. Onse amene anamumva akutemberera asanjike manja awo pamutu pake ndipo gulu lonse la anthu limugende miyala.
15 Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
Choncho uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Aliyense wotemberera Mulungu wake alangidwe.
16 So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
Aliyense wonyoza dzina la Yehova, mlendo ngakhale mbadwa, aphedwe. Gulu lonse la anthu limuponye miyala.
17 “Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
“‘Ngati munthu wina aliyense achotsa moyo wa munthu mnzake, munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa.
18 And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
Aliyense wopha chiweto cha mnzake ayenera kulipira china. Moyo kulipa moyo.
19 And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
Ngati munthu avulaza mnzake, nayenso amuchite zomwe wachitira mnzakeyo:
20 If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
kuthyola fupa kulipira kuthyola fupa, diso kulipira diso, dzino kulipira dzino. Monga momwe anavulazira mnzake, amuvulaze chimodzimodzinso.
21 Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
Aliyense wopha chiweto cha mnzake, alipire chiweto china, koma aliyense wopha munthu ayenera kuphedwa.
22 That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
Lamulo la mlendo ndi mbadwa ndi limodzi lomweli. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
23 Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Pamenepo Mose anawuza Aisraeli zimenezi, ndipo iwo anatulutsira munthu wotembererayo kunja kwa msasa ndi kumugenda miyala. Aisraeli anachita zimene Yehova analamula Mose.
