Ndipo gulu la Aisrayeli lidzalisunga kuti likhale madzi a chiyeretso—amachotsa tchimo. 10Ndipo iye amene wasonkhanitsa phulusa la ng'ombeyo achape zovala zake ndipo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Ili ndilo lamulo lamuyaya kwa Aisrayeli ndi kwa mlendo wokhala pakati pawo.
11“Aliyense amene akhudza mtembo wa munthu aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. 12Adziyeretse ndi madziwo pa tsiku lachitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri; ndipo adzakhala woyera. Koma ngati sadziyeretsa pa tsiku lachitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri, sadzakhala woyera. 13Aliyense amene akhudza mtembo—thupi la munthu amene wamwalira—osadziyeretsa, akudetsa chihema cha Atate wathu; munthu ameneyo adzachotsedwa pakati pa Aisrayeli. Popeza madzi a chiyeretso sanawazidwe pa iye, adzakhalabe wodetsedwa; kudetsedwa kwake kukhalabe pa iye.
14“Ili ndilo lamulo: munthu akamwalira m'tenti, aliyense amene alowamo ndi aliyense amene ali mkatimo adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. 15Ndipo chiwiya chilichonse chotseguka chimene chilibe chivundikiro chomangirira pa icho chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
16“Aliyense amene akhudza, kuthengo, munthu wophedwa ndi lupanga, kapena amene wamwalira yekha, kapena fupa la munthu, kapena manda, adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
17“Chifukwa cha munthu wodetsedwa, adzatenge phulusa la nsembe ya chiyeretso imene inatenthedwa, naliike mu chiwiya, nathiremo madzi oyenda abwino. 18Munthu woyera atenge hisope, naviike m'madziwo, nawaze pa tenti, pa ziwiya zonse, pa aliyense amene anali komweko, ndi pa aliyense amene anakhudza fupa, kapena munthu wophedwa, kapena mtembo, kapena manda. 19Munthu woyera adzawaze pa wodetsedwa pa tsiku lachitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri, namuyeretsa pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri. Ndipo iye achape zovala zake, nasambe m'madzi, ndipo adzakhala woyera pofika madzulo. 20Munthu aliyense wodetsedwa amene sadziyeretsa adzachotsedwa pakati pa msonkhano, pakuti wadetsa malo opatulika a Atate wathu; madzi a chiyeretso sanawazidwe pa iye—iye ndi wodetsedwa. 21Ili ndilo lamulo lamuyaya kwa iwo: aliyense amene awaza madzi a chiyeretso achape zovala zake; ndipo aliyense amene akhudza madzi a chiyeretso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. 22Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwa akhudza chidzakhala chodetsedwa; ndipo aliyense amene akhudza icho adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
