DEUTERONOMO 20 - Buku Lopatulika ndilo Mau a Mulungu

Malamulo a kunkhondo

1 2Mbi. 13.12 Pamene mutuluka pa mdani wanu kunkhondo, ndi kuona akavalo ndi magaleta ndi anthu akuchulukira inu, musawaopa; popeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakukwezani kukutulutsani m'dziko la Ejipito, ali ndi inu.

2Ndipo kudzali, pamene muyandikiza kunkhondo, ayandikize wansembe nanene ndi anthu,

3nati nao, Tamverani, Israele, muyandikiza kunkhondo lero pa adani anu; musafumuka mitima yanu; musachita mantha, kapena kunjenjemera, kapena kuopsedwa pamaso pao;

4pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye wakumuka nanu, kugwirira inu pa adani anu, kukupulumutsani.

5Ndipo akapitao anene ndi anthu, ndi kuti, Ndani munthuyo anamanga nyumba yatsopano, osalowamo? Amuke nabwerere kunyumba kwake, kuti angafe kunkhondo nangalowemo munthu wina.

6Ndipo ndani munthuyo anaoka munda wampesa osalawa zipatso zake? Amuke nabwerere kunyumba yake, kuti angafe kunkhondo, nangalawe munthu wina zipatso zake.

7Ndipo munthuyo ndani anapala bwenzi ndi mkazi osamtenga? Amuke nabwerere kunyumba kwake, kuti angafe kunkhondo, nangamtenge munthu wina.

8Pamenepo akapitao anenenso kwa anthu, ndi kuti, Munthuyo ndani wakuchita mantha ndi wofumuka mtima? Amuke nabwerere kunyumba kwake, ingasungunuke mitima ya abale ake monga mtima wake.

9Ndipo kudzali, atatha akapitao kunena ndi anthu, aike akazembe a makamu atsogolere anthu.

10Pamene muyandikiza mzinda kuchita nao nkhondo, muziufuulira ndi mtendere.

11Ndipo kudzali, ukakubwezerani mau a mtendere, ndi kukutsegulirani, pamenepo anthu onse opezeka m'mwemo akhale akapolo anu, nadzakugwirirani ntchito yathangata.

12Koma ukapanda kuchita zamtendere ndi inu, koma kuchita nkhondo nanu, pamenepo muumangire tsasa.

13Ndipo pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu aupereka m'dzanja lanu, mukanthe amuna ake onse ndi lupanga lakuthwa.

14Koma akazi ndi ana ndi ng'ombe ndi zonse zili m'mzindamo, zankhondo zake zonse, mudzifunkhire nokha; ndipo mudye zankhondo za adani anu, zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakupatsani.

15Muzitero nayo mizinda yonse yokhala kutalitali ndi inu, yosakhala mizinda ya amitundu awa.

16Koma za mizinda ya amitundu awa, imene Yehova Mulungu wanu akupatsani, ikhale cholowa chanu, musasiyepo chamoyo chilichonse chakupuma;

17koma muwaononge konse Ahiti, ndi Aamori, Akanani, ndi Aperizi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi; monga Yehova Mulungu wanu anakulamulirani;

18Deut. 18.9kuti angakuphunzitseni kuchita monga mwa zonyansa zao zonse, amazichitira milungu yao; ndipo mungachimwire Yehova Mulungu wanu.

19Pamene mumangira tsasa mzinda masiku ambiri, pouthirira nkhondo kuugwira, usamaononga mitengo yake ndi kuitema ndi nkhwangwa; pakuti ukadyeko, osailikha; pakuti mtengo wa m'munda ndiwo munthu kodi kuti uumangire tsasa?

20Koma mitengo yoidziwa inu kuti si ndiyo mitengo yazipatso, imeneyi muiononge ndi kuilikha; ndipo mzinda wochita nanu nkhondo muumangire machemba, mpaka mukaugonjetsa.
