< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
Mwamuna aliyense wofulidwa kapena woduka chiwalo chachimuna asalowe nawo mu msonkhano wa Yehova.
2 A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
Aliyense wobadwa mʼbanja losavomerezeka, kapena mdzukulu wake wina aliyense, ngakhale mibado khumi pambuyo pake, asalowe mu msonkhano wa Yehova.
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
Mwamoni kapena Mmowabu asalowe mu msonkhano wa anthu a Yehova ngakhale mibado khumi yobwera pambuyo pake.
4 because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
Pakuti iwowa sanabwere kudzakulonjerani ndi chakudya kapena madzi pamene mumadutsa pochokera ku Igupto, mʼmalo mwake anakalemba ganyu Balaamu mwana wa Beori wochokera ku Petori ku Mesopotamiya kuti akutemberereni.
5 Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
Komabe Yehova Mulungu wanu sanamvere Balaamu koma anatembenuza temberero kukhala dalitso kwa inu chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu amakukondani.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
Musachite nawo mgwirizano uliwonse wa mtendere pa moyo wanu wonse.
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Musapeputse Mwedomu pakuti ndi mʼbale wanu ndithu. Musapeputse Mwigupto chifukwa munali alendo mʼdziko lake.
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
Mʼbado wachitatu wa ana awo akhoza kulowa mu msonkhano wa anthu a Yehova.
9 When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
Mukamakhala pa msasa pokonzekera adani anu, musayandikane ndi china chilichonse chodetsedwa.
10 If there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
Wina mwa asilikali anu akadziwonongera ndi umuna usiku, ayenera kuchoka pa msasapo ndipo akhale kunja kwa msasa.
11 but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
Koma dzuwa likapendeka ayenera kusamba ndipo polowa dzuwa akhoza kubwerera ku msasa.
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
Mukonze malo kunja kwa msasa kumene mukhoza kukadzithandizirako.
13 You shall have a trowel amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
Pakati pa zida zanu muzikhala ndi china chokumbira, ndipo pokadzithandiza muzikumba kadzenje ndi kukwirira chimbudzi chanu.
14 for the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amayendayenda ku msasa wanu kukutchinjirizani ndi kupereka adani anu kwa inu. Nʼchifukwa chake msasa wanu uzikhala wopatulika kuti mwina angaone china chonyansa nabwerera osakuyandikirani.
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
Ngati kapolo wathawa mbuye wake nakabisala kwanu, musamuperekenso kwa mbuye wakeyo.
16 He shall dwell with you, amongst you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
Mumulole akhale pakati panu, paliponse pamene angakonde, mʼmudzi umene angasankhe ndipo musamupondereze.
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Pasapezeke Mwisraeli wamwamuna kapena wamkazi wochita chiwerewere ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Musabweretse malipiro a wachiwerewere wamkazi kapena wamwamuna Mʼnyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wanu kudzapereka za malumbiro aliwonse, chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu amadana ndi zimenezi.
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
Musamalipitse mʼbale wanu chiwongoladzanja, kaya pa ndalama, kapena pa chakudya, kapena pa china chilichonse choti nʼkupereketsa chiwongoladzanja.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
Mlendo mukhoza kumulipitsa chiwongoladzanja koma osati mʼbale wanu Mwisraeli, kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu akudalitseni pa zochitika zanu zonse mʼdziko mukulowamoli.
21 When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
Mukalumbira kupereka kanthu kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, musamachedwetse kupereka, chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakufunsanibe kanthuko ndipo mudzapezeka wochimwa.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
Koma ngati mupewa kupanga mapangano simudzapezeka ochimwa.
23 You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
Zilizonse zimene mulumbira ndi pakamwa panu muzitsimikiza kuzichita, chifukwa mwalumbira mwaufulu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi pakamwa panu.
24 When you come into your neighbour’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
Mukalowa mʼmunda wamphesa wa mnzanu mukhoza kudya mphesa mmene mungafunire koma musayike zina mʼdengu mwanu.
25 When you come into your neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
Mukalowa mʼmunda wa tirigu wa mʼbale wanu, mukhoza kutengako ngala mʼmanja mwanu, koma osasenga tirigu ndi chikwakwa.
