< Exodus 23 >
1 Thou schalt not resseyue a vois of leesyng, nether thou schalt ioyne thin hond, that thou seie fals witnessyng for a wickid man.
“Usafalitse mbiri yabodza. Usathandize munthu wolakwa pomuchitira umboni wonama.
2 Thou schalt not sue the cumpanye to do yuel, nether thou schalt ascente to the sentence of ful many men in doom, that thou go awey fro treuthe.
“Usatsate gulu la anthu ndi kuchita choyipa. Pamene ukupereka umboni mʼbwalo lamilandu, usakhotetse mlandu chifukwa chofuna kukondweretsa anthu ambiri.
3 Also thou schalt not haue mercy of a pore man in a `cause, ethir doom.
Ndipo poweruza mlandu wa munthu wosauka usamukondere.
4 If thou meetist `the oxe of thin enemye, ethir the asse errynge, lede thou ayen to hym.
“Ngati ukumana ndi ngʼombe kapena bulu wa mdani wako zitasochera, uwonetsetse kuti wazitenga kupita nazo kwa mwini wakeyo.
5 If thou seest that the asse of hym that hatith thee liggyth vndir a burthun, thou schalt not passe, but thou schalt reise with hym.
Ngati uwona bulu wa munthu wina amene amakuda atagwa ndi katundu, usamusiye pomwepo, uwonetsetse kuti wamuthandiza.
6 Thou schalt not bowe in the doom of a pore man.
“Usakhotetse milandu ya anthu osauka.
7 Thou schalt fle a lesyng. Thou schalt not sle an innocent man, and iust; for Y am aduersarie to a wickid man.
Upewe zabodza ndipo usaphetse munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama, chifukwa Ine sindidzakhululukira wochimwa.
8 Take thou not yiftis, that blynden also prudent men, and destryen the wordys of iust men.
“Musamalandire chiphuphu, pakuti chiphuphu chimadetsa mʼmaso anthu oweruza ndi kusintha mawu awo kuti mlandu uyipire osalakwa.
9 Thou schalt not be diseseful to a pilgrym, for ye knowen the soulis of comelyngis, for also ye weren pilgryms in the lond of Egipt.
“Usamuzunze mlendo, pakuti inu nomwe mukudziwa mmene amamvera mlendo chifukwa nanunso munali alendo mʼdziko la Igupto.
10 Sixe yeer thou schalt sowe thi lond, and thou schalt gadre fruytis therof;
“Muzidzala mbewu zanu mʼmunda ndi kumakolola mbewuzo kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi.
11 forsothe in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt leeue it, and schalt make to reste, that the pore men of thi puple ete, and what euer is residue, the beestis of the feeld ete; so thou schalt do in thi vyner, and in place of olyue trees.
Koma chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri muzisiya osalima mindayo kuti anthu osauka pakati panu azipezamo chakudya, ndipo nyama zakuthengo zizidya zotsalazo. Muzichita chimodzimodzi ndi minda ya mpesa ndi mitengo ya olivi.
12 Sixe dayes thou schalt worche, in the seuenthe dai thou schalt ceesse, that thin oxe and asse reste, and the sone of thin handmaide, and the comelyng be refreischid.
“Muzigwira ntchito masiku asanu ndi limodzi koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri musagwire ntchito kuti ngʼombe yanu ndi bulu wanu apume ndiponso kuti kapolo wobadwira mʼnyumba yanu ndi mlendo yemwe apezenso mphamvu.
13 Kepe ye alle thingis, whiche Y seide to you; and ye schulen not swere bi the name of alien goddis, nether it schal be herd of youre mouth.
“Samalani pochita zonse zimene ine ndanena. Musamapemphere kwa milungu ina ndipo mayina awo musamawatchule.
14 In thre tymes bi alle yeeris ye schulen halewe feestis to me.
“Muzichita zikondwerero zolemekeza Ine katatu pa chaka.
15 Thou schalt kepe the solempnyte of therf looues; seuene daies thou schalt ete therf breed, as Y comaundide to thee, in the tyme of monethe of newe thingis, whanne thou yedist out of Egipt; thou schalt not appere voide in my siyt.
“Muzichita Chikondwerero cha Buledi wopanda Yisiti. Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti monga ndinakulamulirani. Muzichita zimenezi mwezi wa Abibu pa nthawi yomwe ndayika, pakuti mʼmwezi umenewu munatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto. “Pasapezeke munthu wobwera pamaso panga wopanda kanthu mʼmanja.
16 And thou schalt kepe the solempnete of the monethe of the firste thingis of thi werk, what euer thingis thou hast sowe in the feeld. Also thou schalt kepe the solempnyte in the goyng out of the yeer, whanne thou hast gaderid all thi fruytis of the feeld.
“Muzichita Chikondwerero cha Masika pogwiritsa ntchito zipatso zoyambirira kucha zimene munadzala mʼmunda. “Muzichitanso Chikondwerero cha Zokolola pakutha pa chaka, pamene mukututa zokolola zanu mʼmunda.
17 Thries in the yeer al thi male kynde schal appere bifore thi Lord God.
“Amuna onse azionekera pamaso pa Ambuye Yehova katatu pa chaka.
18 Thou schalt not offre the blood of thi slayn sacrifice on sour douy; nether the fatnesse of my solempnete schal dwelle til to the morewtid.
“Musapereke magazi anyama ngati nsembe kwa Ine pamodzi ndi chilichonse chimene chili ndi yisiti. “Ndipo musasunge mafuta anyama yansembe ya pa chikondwerero mpaka mmawa.
19 Thou schalt bere the firste thingis of the fruytis of thi lond in to the hows of thi Lord God. Thou schalt not sethe a kide in the mylke of his modir.
“Muzibwera ndi zipatso zoyambirira kucha zabwino kwambiri ku Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wanu. “Musamaphike kamwana kambuzi mu mkaka wa mayi wake.
20 Lo! Y schal sende myn aungel, that schal go bifore thee, and schal kepe in the weie, and schal lede to the place which Y haue maad redi to thee.
“Taona Ine ndikutuma mngelo wanga patsogolo panu kuti akutetezeni mʼnjiramo ndi kukakufikitsani ku malo amene ndakonza.
21 Take thou hede to hym, and here thou his vois, nether gesse thou hym to be dispisid; for he schal not foryyue, whanne thou synnest, and my name is in him.
Muzimumvera ndi kumvetsetsa zimene akunena. Musamuwukire chifukwa sadzakhululuka kuwukira kwanu, pakuti akuchita zimenezi mʼdzina langa.
22 For if thou herest his vois, and doist alle thingis whiche Y speke, Y schal be enemy to thin enemyes, and Y schal turment hem, that turmenten thee;
Ngati mudzamvera iyeyu ndi kuchita zonse zimene Ine ndikunena, Ine ndidzakhala mdani wa adani anu ndipo ndidzatsutsana ndi onse otsutsana nanu.
23 and myn aungel schal go bifore thee, and he schal lede yn thee to Amorrei, and Ethei, and Ferezei, and Cananey, and Euey, and Jebusei, whiche Y schal breke.
Mngelo wanga adzakhala patsogolo panu ndipo adzakufikitsani mʼdziko la Aamori, Ahiti, Aperezi, Akanaani, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi, ndipo ndidzawapheratu onsewo.
24 Thou schalt not onoure `the goddis of hem, nether thou schalt worschipe hem; thou schalt not do the werkis of hem, but thou schalt destrie the goddis, and thou schalt breke the ymagis of hem.
Musagwadire milungu yawo kapena kuyipembedza. Ndipo musatsatire zinthu zomwe amachita. Koma inu mukawononge milungu yawo ndi kuphwasula malo amene amapembedzerapo.
25 And ye schulen serue to youre Lord God, that Y blesse thi looues, and watris, and do awei sikenesse fro the myddis of thee;
Muzipembedza Yehova Mulungu wanu ndipo adzakudalitsani ndi chakudya ndi madzi ndiponso ndidzachotsa nthenda pakati panu.
26 neithir a womman vnfruytful, neither bareyn, schal be in thi lond; Y schal fille the noumbre of thi daies.
Palibe mkazi amene adzapite padera kapena kukhala wosabereka mʼdziko mwanu. Ndidzakupatsani moyo wautali.
27 Y schal sende my drede in to thi biforgoyng, and Y schal sle al the puple, to which thou schalt entre, and Y schal turne the backis of alle thin enemyes bifore thee;
“Ine ndidzawachititsa mantha ndi kusokoneza anthu onse amene adzalimbana ndi inu ndipo adani anu onse adzakuthawani.
28 and Y schal sende out bifore scrabrouns, that schulen dryue awei Euey, and Cananey, and Ethei, bifore that thou entre.
Ahivi, Akanaani ndi Ahiti adzathawa ngati kuti ndawatumizira mavu.
29 Y schal not caste hem out fro thi face in o yeer, lest the lond be turned in to wildirnesse, and beestis encreesse ayens thee;
Komabe sindidzawachotseratu onse mʼchaka chimodzi chifukwa dziko lingadzakhale lopanda anthu ndipo nyama zakuthengo zidzakuchulukirani.
30 litil and litil I schal caste hem out fro thi siyt, til thou be encreessid, and welde the loond.
Ndidzawathamangitsa pangʼonopangʼono mpaka inu mutachuluka kokwanira mwakuti nʼkutenga dzikolo.
31 Forsothe Y schal sette thi termys fro the reed see til to the see of Palestyns, and fro desert til to the flood. Y schal yyue to youre hondis the dwelleris of the lond, and Y schal caste hem out fro youre siyt;
“Malire a dziko lanu adzakhala kuyambira ku Nyanja Yofiira mpaka ku nyanja ya Afilisti, ndiponso kuyambira ku chipululu mpaka ku mtsinje wa Yufurate. Anthu onse okhala mʼdziko limeneli ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwanu ndipo mudzawathamangitsa.
32 thou schalt not make boond of pees with hem, nethir with `the goddis of hem.
Musachite pangano ndi iwo kapena ndi milungu yawo.
33 Dwelle thei not in thi lond, lest perauenture thei make thee to do synne ayens me, yf thou seruest her goddis, which thing certis schal be to thee in to sclaundir.
Asadzakhale mʼdziko lanu chifukwa angadzakuchimwitseni ndi kuyamba kupembedza milungu yawo. Mukadzatero ndiye kuti mwakodwa mu msampha.”
