35 Yahova apitiriza kulonga na Mose nʼthando ya Moabhe ku Yordani+ cifupi na Yeriko:
2 “Panga Aizraeli kuti mu dziko inafuna kutambira iwo ninga unthaka, asafunika abuluse mizinda, aipase Alevi toera iwo akhale mwenemu.+ Asafunikambo apase Alevi mbuto zakudyesera pifuyo pyawo nʼkhundu mwa mizinda+ ineyi.
3 Alevi anadzakhala mʼmizinda ineyi, pontho mbuto zakudyesera pifuyo ndi toera iwo adyese pifuyo pyawo, aikhemo pinthu pyawo na mitundu inango yonsene ya pinyama piri na iwo.
4 Mbuto zakudyesera pifuyo zinafuna kupasa imwe Alevi, zisafunika zikhale za makhono* 1.000 kutomera pa mpanda, nʼkhundu mwa nzinda onsene.
5 Kunja kwa nzinda musafunika kupima makhono* 2.000 kumabulukiro a dzuwa, makhono 2.000 kunterero,* makhono 2.000 kumadokero a dzuwa, na makhono 2.000 kunkwiriro;* nzinda unoyu unakhala pakati pa mbuto ineyi. Zenezi zinadzakhala mbuto zakudyesera pifuyo mʼmizinda yawo.
6 “Munadzapasa Alevi mizinda mitanthatu yakuthawira,+ toera ule anapha munthu athawire mwenemu,+ pontho munaapasambo mizinda inango yakukwana 42.
7 Musafunika kupasa Alevi mizinda 48 pabodzi na mbuto zace zakudyesera pifuyo.+
8 Mizinda inafuna imwe kuapasa, musafunika kuibulusa pakati pa unthaka wa Aizraeli.+ Mʼmisoka mikulu, munakwata mizinda mizinji, mʼmisoka mingʼono munakwata mizinda yakucepa.*+ Nsoka ubodzi na ubodzi unadzapereka mizinda mingasi kuna Alevi mwakubverana na mbuto idapaswa iwo ninga unthaka wawo.”
9 Yahova apitiriza kulonga na Mose:
10 “Panga Aizraeli kuti: ‘Imwe muli kuwambuka nkulo wa Yordani toera kupita mu dziko ya Kanani.+
11 Sankhulani mizinda yakuthema kwa imwe, toera ikhale mizinda yakuthawira, toera munthu angapha ndzace mwasusudeu,* athawire+ kweneko.
12 Mizinda ineyi inadzakhala mbuto inafuna kuthawira ule adapha ndzace wakuti ali kuthawa mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa,*+ toera ule adapha ndzace akhonde kuphiwa mbadzati kutongwa pamaso pa mbumba.+
13 Mizinda mitanthatu inafuna kupereka imwe munadzaiphatisira munjira ineyi.
14 Munadzapereka mizinda mitatu kuntunda uno wa Yordani,+ mizinda mitatu mu dziko ya Kanani,+ toera ikhale mizinda yakuthawira.
15 Mizinda mitanthatu inadzakhala mbuto yakuthawira kuna Aizraeli, munthu wa dziko inango+ anakhala pakati pawo, na munthu wakudza, toera munthu onsene anapha ndzace+ mwasusudeu* athawire kweneko.
16 “‘Mbwenye khala iye amʼmenya na utale, munthu unoyu mbafa, iye ndi nyakupha munthu. Mwakukhonda penula,+ nyakupha munthu asafunika kuphiwa.
17 Khala amenya ndzace na mwala wakuti mbudakwanisa kumupha, iye mbafa, ule adamʼmenya ndi nyakupha munthu. Mwakukhonda penula, nyakupha munthu asafunika kuphiwambo.
18 Khala amenya ndzace na muti wakuti mbudakwanisa kumupha, iye mbafa, ule adamʼmenya ndi nyakupha munthu. Mwakukhonda penula, nyakupha munthu asafunika kuphiwa.
19 “‘Mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa ndiye anafunika kupha ule adapha ndzace. Iye asafunika kumupha angagumanikana naye.
20 Khala iye afa pidansukhuma iye thangwi akhamuida, peno amponyera cinthu toera kuncita pyakuipa,*+
21 peno thangwi ya kumuida, amʼmenya na manja mbafa; mwakukhonda penula, iye asafunika kuphiwa. Iye ndi nyakupha munthu. Mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa, angagumanikana na munthu adapha ndzace, asafunika kumupha.
22 “‘Mbwenye khala pyacitika mwasusudeu, mbansukhuma thangwi nee akhamuida, peno amponyera cinthu maseze nee akhafuna kuncita pyakuipa,*+
23 peno khala iye nee amuona, mbwenye anʼgwisira mwala, maseze nee akhali nyamalwa wace, pontho nee ayesera kuncita pyakuipa, munthu unoyu angafa,
24 mbumba isafunika kutonga munthu unoyu pamaso pa mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa, mwakubverana na pitsogolero+ pyenepi.
25 Mbumba isafunika kupulumusa munthu adapha ndzace, toera akhonde kuphiwa na mʼbale wa munthu adapha iye, iwo asafunika amʼbweze ku nzinda udathawira iye. Asafunika akhale kweneko mpaka angafa nyantsembe wankulu adadzodzwa na mafuta+ akucena.
26 “‘Mbwenye ule adapha munthu angabuluka mbapiringana madire a nzinda udathawira iye,
27 mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa anganʼgumana kunja kwa nzinda wakuthawira, angamupha, mʼbale wa munthu adaphiwa, nee anakhala na mulando wa ciropa.
28 Thangwi iye asafunika akhale mu nzinda udathawira iye, mpaka angafa nyantsembe wankulu. Nyantsembe wankulu angafa, iye anakwanisa kubwerera ku dziko yace.+
29 Pitsogolero pyenepi pinadzakhala ntemo unafunika imwe kuphatisira ndzidzi onsene toera kutonga mulando mu mbuto zonsene zinafuna kukhala imwe.
30 “‘Munthu onsene anapha ndzace, asafunikambo kuphiwa thangwi yakupha munthu+ mwakubverana na umboni udapereka anthu;+ mbwenye nkhabe munthu anafunika kuphiwa thangwi ya umboni wa munthu mʼbodzi basi.
31 Nee musafunika kutawira cinthu toera kuombola umaso wa munthu adapha ndzace khala iye asafunika kuphiwa, thangwi mwakukhonda penula,+ iye asafunika kuphiwa.
32 Pontho nee musafunika kutawira cinthu toera kuombola munthu adathawira mu nzinda wakuthawira, mbamuntawirisa kuti abwerere toera akhale ku dziko yace, mu ndzidzi wakuti nyantsembe wankulu adzati kufa.
33 “‘Lekani kupswipisa dziko inakhala imwe, thangwi ciropa cisapswipisa dziko;+ pontho nkhabe cinthu cinango cinafuna kucenesa midonthi ya ciropa cidapswipisa dziko, basi ene inaceneswa na ciropa ca ule adamupha.+
34 Lekani kupswipisa dziko inakhala imwe, yakuti ndi mwenemu munakhala ine; thangwi ine Yahova ndisakhala pakati pa mbumba ya Izraeli.’”+
