Deuteronomy 17
1 'Thou dost not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God ox or sheep in which there is a blemish — any evil thing; for it [is] the abomination of Jehovah thy God.
Musapereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ngʼombe kapena nkhosa imene ili ndi chilema kapena cholakwika chilichonse, pakuti zimenezi zimamunyansa.
2 'When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by transgressing His covenant,
Ngati mwamuna kapena mkazi pakati panu, mʼmizinda imene Yehova akukupatsani apezeka akuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pophwanya pangano lake,
3 and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded —
ndipo ngati motsutsana ndi lamulo langa wapembedza milungu ina, kuyigwadira milunguyo, kaya ndi dzuwa kapena mwezi kapena nyenyezi zakumwamba,
4 and it hath been declared to thee, and thou hast heard, and hast searched diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in Israel —
ndipo inu nʼkuwuzidwa zimenezi, mufufuze bwinobwino. Ngati ndi zoona, ndipo ngati zatsimikizika kuti chonyansa choterechi chachitikadi mu Israeli,
5 'Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates — the man or the woman — and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have died.
mumutengere mwamuna kapena mkazi amene wachita chonyansa choterechi ku chipata cha mzinda wanu ndi kumupha pomugenda miyala.
6 By the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses is he who is dead put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth of one witness;
Munthu aziphedwa pakakhala mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu koma osati mboni imodzi yokha ayi.
7 the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
Wochitira umboniwo ndiwo aziyamba kumupha munthuyo, ndipo kenaka anthu onse. Muyenera kuchotsa choyipa pakati panu.
8 'When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke — matters of strife within thy gates — then thou hast risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix,
Ngati akubweretserani milandu mʼmabwalo anu imene ili yovuta kuweruza kaya ndi yokhetsa magazi, kaya ndi yophwanyirana ufulu, kaya ndi yovulazana, muyitengere kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe.
9 and hast come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge who is in those days, and hast inquired, and they have declared to thee the word of judgment,
Mudzapite kwa ansembe Alevi ndi kwa woweruza wa pa nthawi imeneyo. Kawafunseni ndipo iwowo adzakuwuzani zoyenera kuchita.
10 and thou hast done according to the tenor of the word which they declare to thee ([they] of that place which Jehovah doth choose; and thou hast observed to do according to all that they direct thee.
Kachiteni zimene adzakuwuzenizo kuchokera ku malo amene Yehova adzasankhe. Kaonetsetseni kuti mukutsatira zonse zimene akuwuzanizo.
11 'According to the tenor of the law which they direct thee, and according to the judgment which they say to thee thou dost do; thou dost not turn aside from the word which they declare to thee, right or left.
Kachiteni motsatira malamulo ndi malangizo amene adzakuwuzeni; osawanyoza, potembenukira kumanja kapena kumanzere.
12 And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,
Munthu aliyense amene adzanyoza woweruza kapena wansembe amene akutumikira kumeneko mʼmalo mwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, aphedwe ndithu. Muzichotsa choyipa pakati pa Israeli.
13 and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.
Anthu onse adzamva zimenezi ndipo adzachita mantha, choncho sadzadzikuzanso.
14 'When thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast possessed it, and dwelt in it, and thou hast said, Let me set over me a king like all the nations which [are] round about me, —
Mukalowa mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani kuti mulitenge, ndipo mukakakhazikika mʼmenemo nimunena kuti, “Tiyeni tisankhe mfumu yoti izitilamulira monga imachitira mitundu yonse yotizungulirayi,”
15 thou dost certainly set over thee a king on whom Jehovah doth fix; from the midst of thy brethren thou dost set over thee a king; thou art not able to set over thee a stranger, who is not thy brother.
mudzakhazikitse mfumu yoti izikakulamulirani, mfumu imene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe pakati panu. Mudzasankhe mfumuyo kuchokera pakati pa abale anu. Osasankha mlendo, munthu amene sachokera pakati pa abale anu Aisraeli.
16 'Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.
Komatu mfumuyo isadzikundikire akavalo, kapena kutuma anthu kupita ku Igupto kukayipezera akavalo ena, pakuti Ambuye akuti, “Simuyenera kubweranso ku Igupto mʼnjira yomweyo.”
17 And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply to himself — exceedingly.
Asadziwunjikire akazi kuopa kuti mtima wake ungamusocheretse. Asadziwunjikirenso golide ndi siliva wambiri.
18 'And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law, on a book, from [that] before the priests the Levites,
Akakhala pa mpando waufumuwo, ayenera kulemba za iye mwini mʼbuku la malamuloli, kuchokera kwa ansembe Alevi.
19 and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them;
Asunge zimene walembazo ndipo ayenera kumaziwerenga masiku onse a moyo wake, kuti aphunzire kuopa Yehova Mulungu wake posunga mosamalitsa malamulo ndi malangizowa.
20 so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
Asadzione kuti iyeyo ndi wopambana kuposa abale ake, nalekeratu kutsatira malamulo. Akasamala zimenezi iye ndi ana ake adzalamulira ufumu wa Israeli kwa nthawi yayitali.
