6 Nyantsembe anadzakwata phindi ya muti wa sedhro, nthawi za muti wa isopo+ na usalu wakufuira kakamwe, mbapiponya pa moto unapiswa ngʼombe ineyi.
7 Buluka penepo anadzafula nguwo zace mbasamba, angamala anakwanisa kupita mʼmisasa; mbwenye anapitiriza kukhala wakukhonda cena mpaka dzuwa ingadoka.
8 “‘Ule adapisa ngʼombe ineyi anadzafula nguwo zace mbasamba, pontho anapitiriza kukhala wakukhonda cena mpaka dzuwa ingadoka.
9 “‘Munthu wakuti ali wakucena anadzagumanya madotha a ngʼombe+ ineyi mbaaikha pa mbuto yakucena kunja kwa misasa, mbumba ya Izraeli isafunika kukoya madotha anewa toera kukhunganya nawo madzi anafuna kuphatisirwa toera kucenesa+ nawo. Ineyi ndi ntsembe yakulekererwa madawo.
10 Ule anafuna kugumanya madotha a ngʼombe ineyi, anadzafula nguwo zace mbakhala wakukhonda cena mpaka dzuwa ingadoka.
“‘Unoyu unadzakhala ntemo+ wakwenda na kwenda kuna Aizraeli na munthu wakudza anakhala pakati pawo.
11 Munthu angakhuya manungo a munthu wakufa anadzakhala wakukhonda cena mu ntsiku zinomwe.+
12 Pa ntsiku yacitatu, iye asafunika aceneseke na madzi akucenesa nawo, natenepa pa ntsiku yacinomwe anadzakhala wakucena. Mbwenye angakhonda kuceneseka pa ntsiku yacitatu, nee anadzakhala wakucena pa ntsiku yacinomwe.
13 Ule anaphata manungo a munthu wakufa mbakhonda kuceneseka, ali kupswipisa tabhernakulo+ ya Yahova, natenepa iye asafunika kuphiwa pakati pa Aizraeli.+ Iye anapitiriza kukhala wakukhonda cena, thangwi nee awazirwa madzi akucenesa+ nawo. Iye anapitiriza na makhaliro ace akukhonda cena.
14 “‘Uyu ndi ntemo unafunika kutowezerwa khala munthu afera mu nsasa: Ule anapita mu nsasa unoyu peno ule wakuti akhali mu nsasa unoyu, anadzakhala wakukhonda cena mu ntsiku zinomwe.
15 Combo consene cakuti cikhali bwandzu, cakuti nee cikhadagudumirwa na mphampha,* cinadzakhala cakukhonda cena.+
16 Kunja kwa misasa, munthu angakhuya munthu adaphiwa na supada peno manungo a munthu wakufa, gogodo ya munthu wakufa, peno angakhuya nthumbi, anadzakhala wakukhonda cena mu ntsiku zinomwe.+
17 Toera kucenesa munthu unoyu wakukhonda cena, iwo asafunika akwate pangʼono madotha a ntsembe yakulekererwa madawo idamala kupiswa, aaikhe mu combo, akwate madzi adatungwa pa mbuto yakuwewa mbaaikha mʼmadotha anewa.
18 Munthu+ wakuti ali wakucena asafunika akwate nthawi ya isopo,+ aibvike mʼmadzi anewa mbawazira nsasa na pyombo pyonsene piri mwenemu, kuphatanizambo anthu akhali mwenemu na ule adakhuya gogodo, peno munthu adaphiwa, manungo a munthu wakufa peno nthumbi.
19 Pa ntsiku yacitatu na yacinomwe, munthu wakuti ali wakucena anadzawazira madzi anewa kuna munthu unoyu wakukhonda cena, pontho pa ntsiku yacinomwe+ anadzacenesa madawo a munthu unoyu. Buluka penepo, munthu wakukhonda cena asafunika afule nguwo zace mbasamba, natenepa dzuwa ingadoka iye anadzakhala wakucena.
20 “‘Mbwenye munthu wakukhonda cena angakhonda kuceneseka, asafunika kuphiwa pakati pa mbumba,*+ thangwi iye apswipisa mbuto yakucena ya Yahova. Nakuti iye nee awazirwa madzi akucenesa nawo, iye ndi wakukhonda cena.
21 “‘Unoyu unadzakhala ntemo wakwenda na kwenda kuna imwe: Ule anafuna kuwazira ndzace madzi akucenesa+ nawo, asafunika afule nguwo zace, pontho ule anafuna kukhuya madzi akucenesa nawo anadzakhala wakukhonda cena mpaka dzuwa ingadoka.
22 Cinthu consene cinafuna kuphata munthu wakukhonda cena, cinadzakhala cakukhonda cena, pontho munthu anafuna kuphata cinthu ceneci anadzakhala wakukhonda cena mpaka dzuwa ingadoka.’”+
