Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perrizites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakufikitsani mʼdziko limene mukukalowa ndi kulilanda ndi kuthamangitsa pamaso panu mitundu ya anthu iyi: Ahiti, Agirigasi, Aamori, Akanaani, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi; yomwe ndi mitundu isanu ndi iwiri yayikulu ndi yamphamvu kuposa inu;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee, thou shalt smite them [and] utterly destroy them, thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
Yehova Mulungu wanu akadzawapereka mʼmanja mwanu, ndipo inu mukadzawagonjetsa, mudzawawononge kwathunthu. Musadzachite mgwirizano ndi anthuwo ndiponso musadzawachitire chifundo.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take to thy son.
Musadzakwatirane nawo. Musadzapereke ana anu aakazi kwa ana awo aamuna kapena kutenga ana anu aamuna ndi kuwapereka kwa ana awo aakazi.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
Mukadzatero, iwo adzasocheretsa ana anu aamuna kuti asanditsatire ndi kutumikira milungu ina. Motero Yehova adzakukwiyirani ndi kukuwonongani mwachangu.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Koma mukachite izi: Mukagumule maguwa awo ansembe, mukaswe miyala yawo yachipembedzo, mukadule mitengo yawo ya Asera, ndi kutentha mafano awo pa moto.
6 For thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
Pakuti inu ndinu anthu opatulika kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Yehova Mulungu wanu anakusankhani pakati pa anthu onse pa dziko lapansi kuti mukhale ake, chuma chake cha mtengo wapatali.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:
Yehova sanakukondeni chifukwa choti munali ochuluka kuposa ena pakuti inuyo ndiye munali ochepetsetsa mwa anthu onse.
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bond-men, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Koma chifukwa chakuti Yehova anakukondani nasunga lumbiro lake limene analumbira kwa makolo anu. Ndi chifukwa chake anakutulutsani ndi mphamvu yake yopanda malire ndi kukupulumutsani ku dziko la ukapolo, kuchoka mʼmanja mwa Farao mfumu ya ku Igupto.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations:
Choncho dziwani kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndi Mulungu. Iye ndi Mulungu wokhulupirika, wosunga pangano lake la chikondi chosasinthika ku mibadomibado, kwa iwo amene amamukonda nasunga malamulo ake.
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Koma iwo amene amamuda adzawabwezera powawononga pamaso pawo; sadzachedwa kuwabwezera iwo amene amadana naye.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Choncho muziyesetsa kusunga malamulo, malangizo ndi maphunziro amene ndikukulamulani lero lino kuti muchite.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God will keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
Mukamvera malamulo amenewa, ndi kusamala kuwatsata, ndiye kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasunga pangano lake la chikondi chosasinthika ndi inu, monga analumbira kwa makolo anu.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless thy children, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.
Iye adzakukondani nakudalitsani ndi kukuchulukitsani. Adzadalitsa chipatso cha mʼmimba mwanu, zokolola za mʼdziko mwanu, tirigu wanu, vinyo wanu ndi mafuta anu, ana angʼombe zanu ndi ana ankhosa zanu mʼdziko limene analumbirira kwa makolo anu kuti akupatseni inu.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Inu mudzadalitsika kuposa mtundu wina uliwonse wa anthu ndipo palibe mwamuna kapena mkazi aliyense pakati panu amene adzakhale wosabereka. Ziweto zanu nazonso, sipadzapezeka zosabereka.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou knowest) upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
Yehova adzakupewetsani ku matenda aliwonse. Sadzakugwetserani matenda owopsa aja munawadziwa ku Igupto, koma adzawagwetsera pa odana nanu.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare to thee.
Muwononge anthu onse amene Yehova Mulungu wanu awapereka kwa inu. Musawamvere chisoni ndipo musatumikire milungu yawo pakuti umenewo udzakhala msampha kwa inu.
17 If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations [are] more than I, how can I dispossess them?
Mukhoza kunena kuti, “Anthu awa ndi amphamvu kuposa ifeyo. Nanga tingawapirikitse bwanji?”
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Koma musachite nawo mantha, kumbukirani bwino zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anachita ndi Farao pamodzi ndi Igupto yense.
19 The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the out-stretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Munadzionera nokha ndi maso anu mayesero aakulu, zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa, mphamvu yake yopanda malire imene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakutulutsirani. Yehova Mulungu adzachita zimenezo ndi anthu onse amene muwaopa tsopano.
20 Moreover, the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall be destroyed.
Kuwonjezera apo, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzatumiza mavu pakati pawo mpaka atamaliza onse amene adzakubisalirani.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Musaopsedwe nawo pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ali pakati panu, ndi Mulungu wamkulu ndi woopsa.
22 And the LORD thy God will drive out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Yehova Mulungu wanu adzapirikitsa anthu a mitundu yonse pamaso panu, pangʼonopangʼono. Sadzakulolani kuti muwathe nthawi imodzi, kuti nyama zakuthengo zingadzaswane mokuzungulirani.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed.
Koma Yehova Mulungu wanu adzawapereka kwa inu, adzawasokoneza kufikira atawonongedwa.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed them.
Iye adzapereka mafumu awo mʼdzanja lanu, ndipo adzafafaniza mayina awo pa dziko lapansi. Palibe amene adzalimbana nanu, inu mudzawawononga.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] to thee, lest thou shouldst be snared in it: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Muwawotche pa moto mafano a milungu yawo. Musasirire siliva ndi golide amene ali pa mafanoyo. Musamutenge kuti akhale wanu chifukwa mukatero mudzakodwa naye ngati msampha, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa nazo.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shouldst be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
Musabweretse chinthu chonyansa mʼnyumba mwanu kuopa kuwonongedwa ngati chonyasacho. Muziyipidwa ndi kunyansidwa nacho kwambiri pakuti chidzawonongedwanso.
