Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the ceremonies and judgments, which I speak in your ears this day: learn them, and fulfill them in work.
Mose anayitanitsa Aisraeli onse nati: Tamverani inu Aisraeli, malangizo ndi malamulo amene ndikuwuzeni lero. Muwaphunzire ndi kuonetsetsa kuti mukuwatsata.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Yehova Mulungu wathu anachita pangano ndi ife ku Horebu.
3 He made not the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are now present and living.
Yehova sanachite pangano ndi makolo athu koma ndi ife, tonse amene tili moyo lero.
4 He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the midst of fire.
Yehova anayankhula nanu maso ndi maso kuchokera mʼmoto pa phiri paja.
5 I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up into the mountain, and he said:
(Pa nthawi imeneyo ine ndinayimirira pakati pa Yehova ndi inu kuti ndikuwuzeni mawu a Yehova, chifukwa inu munkachita mantha ndi moto ndipo simunakwere ku phiri). Ndipo Iye anati:
6 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa ku Igupto, mʼdziko la ukapolo.
7 Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.
“Usakhale ndi milungu ina koma Ine ndekha.
8 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth.
“Usadzipangire chofanizira chinthu chilichonse chakumwamba kapena cha pa dziko lapansi kapena cha mʼmadzi a pansi pa dziko.
9 Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that hate me,
Usazigwadire kapena kuzipembedza, pakuti Ine Yehova Mulungu wako, ndine Mulungu wansanje, wolanga ana chifukwa cha tchimo la makolo awo mpaka mʼbado wachitatu ndi wachinayi wa iwo amene amadana nane,
10 And shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
koma ndimaonetsa chikondi chosasinthika ku mibado miyandamiyanda ya anthu amene amandikonda ndi kusunga malamulo anga.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing.
“Usagwiritse ntchito molakwika dzina la Yehova Mulungu wako, pakuti Yehova adzamutenga kukhala wochimwa aliyense amene akugwiritsa ntchito dzina lakelo molakwika.
12 Observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
“Uzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wako anakulamulira.
13 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
Uzigwira ntchito zako zonse masiku asanu ndi limodzi,
14 The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself.
koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, tsiku loperekedwa kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Tsiku limeneli musagwire ntchito iliyonse, inuyo kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena mwana wanu wamkazi kapena wantchito wanu wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wanu kapena ngʼombe yanu kapena bulu wanu kapena ziweto zanu kapena mlendo amene akukhala mʼmudzi mwanu, motero ndiye kuti wantchito wanu wamwamuna ndi wantchito wanu wamkazi adzapumula monga inuyo.
15 Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day.
Kumbukira kuti unali kapolo ku Igupto ndipo Yehova Mulungu wako anakutulutsa kumeneko ndi dzanja lamphamvu ndi lotambasuka. Choncho Yehova Mulungu wako akukulamula kuti uzisunga tsiku la Sabata.
16 Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
“Lemekeza abambo ako ndi amayi ako monga Yehova Mulungu wako wakulamulira iwe kuti ukhale ndi moyo wautali ndi kuti zikuyendere bwino mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wako akukupatsa.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
“Usaphe.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
“Usachite chigololo.
19 And thou shalt not steal.
“Usabe.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
“Usapereke umboni womunamizira mnzako.
21 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife: nor his house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
“Usasirire mkazi wa mnzako. Usasirire nyumba ya mnzako kapena munda wake, wantchito wake wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wake, ngʼombe yake kapena bulu wake, kapena chilichonse cha mnzako.”
22 These words the Lord spoke to all the multitude of you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, which he delivered unto me.
Awa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anayankhula ndi mawu okweza kwa gulu lanu lonse pa phiri paja mʼmoto, mtambo ndi mdima woopsa, sanawonjezerepo kanthu. Ndipo anawalemba pa mapale awiri amiyala ndi kundipatsa.
23 But you, after you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and saw the mountain burn, came to me, all the princes of the tribes and the elders, and you said:
Mutamva mawu kuchokera mu mdimawo, phiri lili moto lawilawi, atsogoleri onse a mafuko anu ndi akuluakulu anu anabwera kwa ine.
24 Behold the Lord our God hath shewn us his majesty and his greatness, we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire, and have proved this day that God speaking with man, man hath lived.
Ndipo munati, “Yehova Mulungu wathu wationetsa ulemerero ndi ukulu wake, ndipo tamva mawu ake kuchokera mʼmoto. Lero taona kuti munthu akhoza kukhala ndi moyo ngakhale Mulungu atayankhula naye.
25 Why shall we die therefore, and why shall this exceeding great Are consume us: for if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die.
Koma tsopano tife chifukwa chiyani? Moto waukuluwu utinyeketsa, ndipo tifa tikapitirirabe kumva mawu a Yehova Mulungu wathu.
26 What is all flesh, that it should hear the voice of the living God, who speaketh out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard, and be able to live?
Pakuti ndi munthu uti wolengedwa amene anamvapo mawu a Mulungu wamoyo akuyankhula kuchokera mʼmoto, monga tachitiramu, nakhala ndi moyo?
27 Approach thou rather: and hear all things that the Lord our God shall say to thee, and thou shalt speak to us, and we will hear and will do them.
Pita pafupi kuti ukamvetsere zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wathu akunena. Kenaka udzatiwuze chilichonse chimene Yehova Mulungu wathu akunena ndipo tidzamvera ndi kuchita.”
28 And when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to thee: they have spoken all things well.
Yehova anakumvani pamene munkayankhula kwa ine ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, “Ndamva zimene anthuwa anena kwa iwe. Chilichonse chimene anena ndi chabwino.
29 Who shall give them to have such a mind, to fear me, and to keep all my commandments at all times, that it may be well with them and with their children for ever?
Zikanakhala bwino akanakhala ndi mtima wondiopa ndi kusunga malamulo anga nthawi zonse kuti zinthu ziziwayendera bwino, iwowo pamodzi ndi ana awo kwamuyaya.
30 Go and say to them: Return into your tents.
“Pita uwawuze kuti abwerere ku matenti awo.
31 But stand thou here with me, and I will speak to thee all my commandments, and ceremonies and judgments: which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land, which I will give them for a possession.
Koma iwe ukhale kuno ndi ine kuti ndikupatse malamulo, malangizo ndi ziphunzitso zimene azitsatira mʼdziko limene ndiwapatse kuti alitenge.”
32 Keep therefore and do the things which the Lord God hath commanded you: you shall not go aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Choncho samalirani kuchita zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulamulirani inu, musapatukire kudzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere.
33 But you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God hath commanded, that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be long in the land of your possession.
Muyende mʼnjira yonse imene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakulamulirani kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kupambana, ndi kuti masiku anu achuluke mʼdziko limene mudzatengelo.
