< Leviticus 1 >

1 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Yehova anayitana Mose mu tenti ya msonkhano. Iye anati,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.
“Aliyense wa inu ngati abwera ndi nsembe kwa Yehova kuchokera pa ziweto zake, choperekacho chikhale ngʼombe, nkhosa kapena mbuzi.
3 If his offering shall [be] a burnt-sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
“‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe yopsereza ya ngʼombe, ikhale yayimuna yopanda chilema. Aziyipereka pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, kuti Yehova alandire.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Munthuyo asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu pa nsembe yopserezayo, ndipo idzalandiridwa kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo ake.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Pambuyo pake aphe ngʼombeyo pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ansembe, ana a Aaroni, atenge magazi ake ndi kuwawaza mbali zonse za guwa lansembe limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces,
Munthuyo asende nsembe yopserezayo ndi kuyidula nthulinthuli.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
Ndipo ana a Aaroni, wansembe uja asonkhe moto pa guwa ndi kuyalapo nkhuni pa motopo.
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar.
Kenaka ana a Aaroni, wansembe uja, ayike nthuli za nyamayo, mutu wake pamodzi ndi mafuta omwe pa nkhuni zimene zili paguwapo.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Munthuyo atsuke zamʼkati mwa nyamayo pamodzi ndi miyendo yake yomwe, ndipo wansembe awotche nyama yonse paguwapo. Iyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, chopereka chowotcha pa moto, cha fungo lokomera Yehova.
10 And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
“‘Koma ngati chopereka cha nsembe yopserezayo ndi nkhosa kapena mbuzi kuchokera pa ziweto zake, munthuyo apereke yayimuna yopanda chilema.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar:
Ayiphere kumpoto kwa guwa, pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ana a Aaroni amene ndi ansembe, awaze magazi ake mbali zonse za guwalo.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:
Kenaka ayidule nyamayo nthulinthuli, ndipo wansembe ayike nthulizo pa guwa, atengenso mutu ndi mafuta omwe, ndipo ayike zonsezi pa nkhuni zimene zikuyaka pa guwa.
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Munthuyo atsuke zamʼkati mwa nyamayo pamodzi ndi miyendo yake yomwe, ndipo wansembe abwere nazo zonse ndi kuzitentha pa guwa. Iyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, chopereka chotentha pa moto, fungo lokomera Yehova.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves, or of young pigeons.
“‘Koma ngati chopereka kwa Yehova ndi nsembe yopsereza ya mbalame, ndiye ikhale njiwa kapena mawunda.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn [it] on the altar: and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Wansembe abwere nayo ku guwa, ayidule mutu moyipotola ndi kutentha mutuwo pa guwa. Magazi ake awathire pansi kuti ayenderere pambali pa guwa.
16 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Iye achotse chithokomiro pamodzi ndi nthenga zake zomwe ndi kuzitaya ku malo wotayirako phulusa, kummawa kwa guwalo.
17 And he shall cleave it with its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Kenaka ayingʼambe pakati, koma asachotse mapiko. Ndipo wansembe ayiwotche pa nkhuni zimene zikuyaka pa guwa. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, yowotcha pa moto ndiponso ya fungo lokomera Yehova.
