RUTI 2:8 Ruth 2:8

Elyo Boasi atile kuli Ruti, “We mwana wandi umwanakashi, umfwa kuli ine. Tecakwesha ukuya mukusotasota mwibala limbi kabili wiya kumbi ukufuma pano. Lelo wikalefye pano pene na bakashana bandi.

Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

Boasi naishikubo pali ino nshito kuti muntu umo uwafuma mulupwa lwa ba kalubula mu cupo. Uposeko amano no kwishiba ibala ilyo balesombolamo, elyo na iwe ulekonka abakashana panuma yabo. Ine ninjeba abaume ukuti tabalingile ukukwikatamo. Kabili ilyo lyonse waumfwa icilaka, ufwile ukuya nwa amenshi ukufuma mu mitondo iyo abaume batapile.”

Boaz knows by now that Ruth is a kinswoman by marriage. The most that we can see in this passage is that Boaz takes extra concern for Ruth because she is a member of his extended family. We see that he is a gracious man and would allow any poor person to glean in his fields. But he obviously is making special provisions for Ruth. Boaz also gives Ruth extra status by advising her to stay with his maidservants.

Lelo cinshi ico ine nasangila ukusekelelwa pa cinso cenu elyo no kunsakamana inefye ne mwinafyalo. Boasi atile, “Ine, nabanjebafye fyonse ifyo wacita kuli nokofyala ukutulafye apo umulume obe afwila. Ifyo washile abafyashi bobe bawiso na banoko.

But, again, love at first sight is not in the picture here, Hollywood movies notwith-standing. We cannot infer more than that Boaz is making extra provision for a member of the family.

Lekeni nkonkanyepo ukusanga ukusekelelwa pa cinso cenu mwe mfumu yandi, pantu mwampeela icikoselesho no kulanda ifisuma kuli ine ne mubomfi wenu, nangu ine nshilingene na babomfi benu abanakashi nelyo umo.

He cares for her as one of the family. She will be able to glean enough during the barley and wheat harvests to provide for herself and Naomi for many months.

BOASI BOAZ

Ibuku lya kwa Ruti lilatupela ukulolekesha pa bwikashi bwa mu calo na mulupwa mu Yuda pa nshita y aba pingushi. Cikankala lyonse ukutontonkanya pa mashiwi nga aya, no kufwaisho kumona ifilangililo fya kusenamina kwa kutontonkanya ne mbela isho twi ngamona.

The book of Ruth gives us an intimate look at so-cial and family life in Judea during the time of the Judges. It is always profitable to meditate on a narrative like this, with the objective of seeing what examples of grace thinking and behavior we can see.

Esheni ukutontonkanya ifyo Boasi aikele ukubomba umulimo wakwe uwakusakamana abalanda. Bushe imbela yakwe ku ilyo kuli ukukumuna ne imbela yacalo. Bushe imbela yak we iya pa cekumi ngaili shan? Bushe amatontonkanyo yakwe ku cekumi indali shani? Belengeni amashiwi mu bena Levi pa mulimo wa kwa Boasi.

Try to think of Boaz living under the obligations of taxation and care of the poor. What would his atti-tude have been toward tithing? What would his thinking been when faces with the social oblication to provide for the needs of poor, landless people? Read the article on Levitical sacrifices to get an idea of Boaz' obligations.

Umutwe: AMALAMBO NE FYABUPE FYA BENA LEVI

Topic: LEVITICAL SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS

Boasi ngalipele icekumi ica 10% pa filimwa fyakwe, mu myaka imbi nga cali ni 20 % no kucishapo

Boaz would have had to give 10% of the harvest he was gathering to the priests; in some years it would have been 20% or more.

Ngalipele ifisabo fyakubalilapo nge fyabupe, pamulandu wa kuwama kw mutima kwa kwe, pa mulandu wakuti impendwa yalupiya tayaishibikwe.

He would already have given a first-fruits offering - determined solely by his own generosity, since the amount was not specified.

Nangu uku[itila mu kupelo musonko kwa kwe kwali ukwa 30%, alyenekelwe ukupela abalesombola.

Then, even though his taxes and offerings might have been as much as 30%, he was expected to leave grain in the field for gleaners!

Moneni: anga tapele kumi pali ifyo ifyashele mwibala ifyo abantu baletola. Ruti na Naomi ngabalipele icekumi – 10% ifya fisano na cimo ifya ephah.

Note: He would not tithe on what was left in the field for gleaning. Ruth and Naomi would tithe on that - 10% of six ephahs is 0.6 ephahs.

Boasi alikweto luse sana, teti ntontonkanyo kuti Boasi alikwete akaso ka kupele cakumi. Alemoneko kubo muntu uwaishibe ukuti Lesa alimupelo ubunonshi ilyo talayambo ukupelo musonko.

Boaz was very gracious; and I can't imagine Boaz whining about having to pay tithes. He seemd to be a man who understood that God had to prosper him first before he would have anything to pay taxes with.

Bethlehemu yafuma ukupita mu insala. Cilemoneko kuti Boasi alikele pa myaka iingi ukwabula ukupelo musonko pamulandu wa busomboshi ubushali bwingi. Ngalitemenwe ukupelo musonko uwingi.

Bethlehem had recently been through a desperate famine. It's likely that Boaz went for years with very low taxes to pay, because of the very meager harvests. He would have been glad to pay high taxes.

Ibukisheni – Naomi ilyunfwile ku Moabu ukuti Shikulu alitandalila abantu ba kwe ukuba pelo mukate. Elyo Boasi aipwishe umubomfi wakwe

Remember - Naomi had heard in Moab that the Lord had visited His people in giving them bread. I don't think she said "Well, that just

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 3

uwaleyangalila abasomboshi ati kuli bene Bethlehemu yali ni ncende ya kupelelwamo.

means that taxes are going up in Judea!" No - she got herself and Ruth back to Bethlehem as soon as she could - is was the place of provision for them

RUTI 2:9 Ruth 2:9

Uposeko amano no kwishiba ibala ilyo balesombolamo, elyo na iwe ulekonka abakashana panuma yabo. Ine ninjeba abaume ukuti tabalingile ukukwikatamo. Kabili ilyo lyonse waumfwa icilaka, ufwile ukuya nwa amenshi ukufuma mu mitondo iyo abaume batapile.”

Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

Bana mayo abancito bali niabo abalekaka ifishinga , ilyo abaune balesombola ne fikwakwa. Bshibantu na banamayo balebombela mu mabala pamo pamulandu wakuti calefwaiko kuti ba pwisho mulio bwangu.

-The women workers were probably those who tied the bundles into sheaves, while the men would do the reaping with scythe and sickle. The men and women worked in the fields together be-cause of the urgency of getting the job done.

Boasi atile kuli Ruti, We mwana wandi umwanakashi, umfwa kuli ine. Tecakwesha ukuya mukusotasota mwibala limbi kabili wiya kumbi ukufuma pano. Lelo wikalefye pano pene na bakashana bandi. Uposeko amano no kwishiba ibala ilyo balesombolamo, elyo na iwe ulekonka abakashana panuma yabo. Ine ninjeba abaume ukuti tabalingile ukukwikatamo. Kabili ilyo lyonse waumfwa icilaka, ufwile ukuya nwa amenshi ukufuma mu mitondo iyo abaume batapile.

Boaz also arranges for Ruth's protection. The other gleaners might be inclined to resent Ruth's being given such privileges and might repulse her if she came too close to the harvesters. Ruth might also be exposed to rude talk and even mishandling. However, Boaz guarded against this possibility by his instructions. As an employer, he has taken an iron stand against bad behavior, as a protection for the somen workers.

Boasi atile, Ine, nabanjebafye fyonse ifyo wacita kuli nokofyala ukutulafye apo umulume obe afwila. Ifyo washile abafyashi bobe bawiso na banoko, nefyo washa ne calo cobe umo wafyalilwe no kwisa mukwikala na bantu abo ushaishibe kale. Yawe engakulambwilapo pali fyonse ifyo wacita. Kabili Yawe Lesa wa bena Israeli akakupeelelepo icilambu icituntulu, uyo wishile mukuuba mu mapindo yakwe.”

Boaz' kindness does not stop here, however. Ruth is invited to drink water from the jugs the young men have filled at the well. This water was proba-bly carried from the town, or there may have been water nearby. Valuable time would be lost if Ruth had to draw her own water; so Boaz was offering her this additional kindness.

RUTI 2:10 Ruth 2:10

Ruti ilyo aumfwile aya mashiwi, awa ubukupeme no kushimpa impumi yakwe panshi. Elyo atile, “Bushe cinshi ico ine nasangila ukusekelelwa pa cinso cenu elyo no kunsakamana inefye ne mwinafyalo?”

Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 4

Ukufukama pa nshi nabanjebafye fyonse ifyo wacita kuli nokofyala ukutulafye apo umulume obe afwila. Ifyo washile abafyashi bobe bawiso na banoko, nefyo washa ne calo cobe umo wafyalilwe no kwisa mukwikala na bantu abo ushaishibe kale. 12Yawe engakulambwilapo pali fyonse ifyo wacita. Kabili Yawe Lesa wa bena Israeli akakupeelelepo icilambu icituntulu, uyo wishile mukuuba mu mapindo yakwe.”

Bowing to the ground was a token of gratitude and humility. Ruth recognized that Boaz was do-ing more than was strictly required, and she was grateful accordingly. She was content to take a place among his servants; she did not presume on his kindness. Yet she wonders why Boaz is show-ing such kindness, expecially to a foreigner.

RUTI 2:11 Ruth 2:11

Boasi atile, “Ine, nabanjebafye fyonse ifyo wacita kuli nokofyala ukutulafye apo umulume obe afwila. Ifyo washile abafyashi bobe bawiso na banoko, nefyo washa ne calo cobe umo wafyalilwe no kwisa mukwikala na bantu abo ushaishibe kale

And Boaz answered and said unto her, It has been fully showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of your husband: and how thou hast left thy father and mother, and the land of thy nativity, and are come unto a people which you knew not hereto-fore.

Ruti emwaba amalyashi yasuntinkana na malyashi ya mu citabo ca Bapingushi. Kanshi e mulandu wine cabela pakati ka Bapingushi elyo ne fitabo fibili ifyakwa Samwele. Ecapwililisha amalyashi ayaba mu citabo ca Bapingushi.

Ruth has left everything to follow the Lord. There is often a tremendous wrenching away from the past that a believer faces when he commits himself to the Lord. Some tough decisions have to be made in many areas of life.

Nefyo akonkele nafyala ku Betelemu, uko aile upwa kuli Boasi umuntu wakwa naomi. Ici ecalengele nokuti nomba abe nakulu uwalumbuka nganshi uwakwa Davidi. Na pakulekelesha, ici citabo calanda pa bonaushi bwacitikile abantu ilyo basangukile Lesa.

Decision breaks may have to be made with family, friends, religion, social life, career, and the pursuit of wealth and the good life. One's activities in Christian service will take up time which would have been devoted to self improvement. All of this requires a sacrificial attitude and resolute deter-mination.

Luka 5:10-18 Luke 5:10-18

0Bamwana Sebede, Yakobo na Yoani abalebomba na Simoni nabo lumo lwine. Yesu epakweba Simoni ati, “Iyoo, witiina, ukutula nomba wakulaba umulondo wa bantu.”

10 and so also were James and John, the

sons of Zebedee, who were partners with

Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be

afraid. From now on you will catch men.”

11Awe cilya bafisha amato ku mulundu, basha fyonse balakonka na Yesu.

11 So when they had brought their boats to

land, they forsook all and followed Him.

12Yesu ilyo ali mu musumba umo, awe paishile umuntu umo uwalwele ifibashi umubili onse. Cilya amona Yesu, awa panshi ubukupeme alamupapata ati, “We Mfumu, nga nautemwa kuti wamposha.”

12 And it happened when He was in a

certain city, that behold, a man who was

full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his

face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if

You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13Yesu atambalika ukuboko amukumya ati, “cisuma nintemwa, pola!” Awe apopene ne

13 Then He put out His hand and touched

him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 5

fibashi fyapola. 14 Elyo Yesu amukonkomesha ati, “Wiebako umuntu nelyo umo. Lelo kabiye, uye ilanga kuli shimapepo. Uye utuule no mutuulo uo Mose amukonkomesha, pakuti cibashinine ukuti naupola.”

He charged him to tell no one, “But go and

show yourself to the priest, and make an

offering for your cleansing, as a testimony

to them, just as Moses commanded.”

15Ululumbi lwakwa Yesu lwalalundulukilakofye. Amabumba ya bantu ayakalamba yalalongana kukumfwa na kukuposhiwa ku malwele yabo. 16Lelo Yesu ena ilingi alebasha, aya eka ukutalele kukupepa.

15 However, the report went around

concerning Him all the more; and great

multitudes came together to hear, and to

be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 So

He Himself often withdrew into the

wilderness and prayed.

17Ubushiku bumo ilyo Yesu alefunda, pali Abafalise na bakafundisha bamafunde nabekala. Bafumine mu mishi yonse iya mu Galile na mu Yudeya na ku Yerusalemu. Yesu ena ali na maka yakwa Lesa ayakuposha abantu. 18Elyo kwaisa abantu basendele icite cilele pa musengele. Balafwaya ukumwingisha mu ŋanda pakuti bamubike apali Yesu.

17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He

was teaching, that there were Pharisees and

teachers of the law sitting by, who had

come out of every town of Galilee, Judea,

and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord

was present to heal them. 18 Then behold,

men brought on a bed a man who was

paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in

and lay before Him.

Abena Filipi 3:8 Philippians 3:8

Teifi fyeka iyoo lelo, mona ifintu fyonse ukuti fyafyefye pa mulandu wa cintu ici icikankala icacilapo, icakwishiba Yesu Kristu Imfumu yandi. Pa mulandu wakwa Kristu nalisuulako kuli fyonse. Ifintu fyonse mfimonafye ifinangwa pakuti nshukile Kristu

"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but

loss for the excellency of the knowledge of

Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suf-

fered the loss of all things, and do count

them but refuse, that I may win Christ.

RUTI 2:12 Ruth 2:12

Yawe engakulambwilapo pali fyonse ifyo wacita. Kabili Yawe Lesa wa bena Israeli akakupeelelepo icilambu icituntulu, uyo wishile mukuuba mu mapindo yakwe

The Lord recompense thy work, and a full re-ward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

Icipandwa caba nge pepo, ilyasoselwe kuli Ruti, lelo no kwishibo kuti icilambu cifuma kuli Lesa.

This verse is a sort of prayer, spoken to Ruth, but with the acknowledgment that the recompense, the reward, are from Jehovah.

Boasi naishibo kuti icitetekelo muli Lesa calikwata icilambu. Ulefunda abaume abakalamba ukuti bali nokuba abantu aba misango isuma, abamano, kabili abatekanya. Tabali nakunenuka mu cisumino, mu citemwiko, na mukushipikisha.

Boaz knows that faith in God always has a full reward. He is a mature man in the sense of Titus 2:2. He is "sound in faith" because of years of ex-perience in trusting the Lord and seeing God keep His promises

E ico Boasi taleshinshikila ukweba Rutui ukuti nacita icintu icisuma.

So Boaz does not hesitate to tell Ruth that she has done the right thing in trusting Jehovah.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 6

1 Yoani 3:16-19 1 John 3:16-19

16Kristu alenga ukuti twishibe ifyo icitemwiko caba ilyo alekele umweo wakwe pa mulandu wa ifwe. Kanshi na ifwe bene tulingile ukuleka imyeo yesu pali bamunyinefwe.

16 By this we know love, because He laid

down His life for us. And we also ought to

lay down our lives for the brethren.

17Umuntu uwakwata ifintu fya pano calo nga amona munyina alekabila, lelo akaana ukumumfwila uluse, bushe kuti atila alitemwa Lesa mu mutima wakwe?

17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and

sees his brother in need, and shuts up his

heart from him, how does the love of God

abide in him?

18Mwe bana bandi twilaleka icitemwiko cesu cibefye pa kanwa na mu mashiwi, lelo icitemwiko cesu cibe mu ficitwa fyesu kabili icacine cine.

18 My little children, let us not love in

word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

19Kanshi muli ici emo twingeshibila ukuti tuli bantu bacishinka. Lyena tukekala ne mitima tondolo pa cinso cakwa Lesa,

19 And by this we know that we are of the

truth, and shall assure our hearts before

Him.

Yakobo 2:15-18 James 2:15-18

15Nomba nga cakuti munyinenwe, nangu nkashi yenu alisapula, elyo ne fyakulya takwete.

15 If a brother or sister is naked and

destitute of daily food,

16Bushe cikabawamina shani nga umo pali imwe abeba ati, “Mwende umutende, mulefwala mulekaba, mulelya muleikuta,” nga tamubapeele ifi fintu balekabila mu bumi bwabo?”

16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in

peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do

not give them the things which are needed

for the body, what does it profit?

17Kanshi efyo ne cisumino caba, nga tacilebomba imilimo ninshi califwa.

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not

have works, is dead.

18Nalimo umo kuti alanda ati, “Iwe walikwata icisumino, na ine ndabomba imilimo isuma.” Pakumwasuka kuti namweba nati, “Cisuma, iwe unange icisumino cobe ukwabula imilimo isuma, na ine nalakulanga icisumino candi ku milimo iyo ncita!

18 But someone will say, “You have faith,

and I have works.” Show me your faith

without your works, and I will show you

my faith by my works.

Boasi naishibo kuti umuyantanshi bufuma kuli Lesa, kabili naishibo kuti ni Shikulu eupela ifintu fyonse ifyo akabila ifya kuntanshi. Tafwilo kusungilile ndalama pakui akwate ifintu ifisuma.

Boaz knows that his prosperity has come from God; and he knows that the Lord will supply his needs in the future. He does not have to hoard all his money and goods to be sure to have a good retirement, so he can be a channel of grace blessing.

Amapinda 11:24-26 Proverbs 11:24-26

24Umuntu kuti alepeela peelafye icuma cakwe, ninshi elyo alacililako ubukankala,

umbi nao kuti aleumfwila icuma akaso, nomba elyo bacililako mu bupina.

24 There is one who scatters, yet increases

more; And there is one who withholds

more than is right, But it leads to poverty.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 7

25Umuntu kapekape alamona ishuko,

no wafwako bambi nao balamwafwako bambi.

25 The generous soul will be made rich,

And he who waters will also be watered

himself.

26Abantu balatipwila uubika iŋanu shakwe pakuti akese shitisha pa mutengo uukulu,

lelo uushitisha ena balamupaalilapo.

26 The people will curse him who

withholds grain, But blessing will be on the

head of him who sells it.

Amapinda 13:20-21 Proverbs 13:20,21

20Umuntu uwenda na bamano nao alakwata amano, nomba nga walaenda ne fipuba awe ninshi waonaika.

20 He who walks with wise men will be

wise, But the companion of fools will be

destroyed.

21Ishamo likonka uubifya, lelo abololoke balambulwa ubukankala.

21 Evil pursues sinners, But to the

righteous, good shall be repaid.

Luka 14:12-14 Luke 14:12-14

12Kabili Yesu alaeba uumwitile ku cakulya ati, “Kanshi ilyo wateyanya imitebeto iya kasuba nangu iya cungulo, wilaita bacibusa bobe nangu bamunonko nangu ba lupwa lobe nangu abena mupalamano abakankala. Pantu nabo limbi kuti baisa kwita, lyena ninshi bakufutilapo.

12 Then He also said to him who invited

Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper,

do not ask your friends, your brothers,

your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they

also invite you back, and you be repaid.

13Kanshi ilyo wacita imitebeto, uleitako abalanda, abalemana, abasunta ne mpofu.

13 But when you give a feast, invite the

poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

14Lyena Lesa akakupaala, pantu tabakwete cakukufutilapo. Kabili ukalambwilwapo pakushukuka kwa bantu abafwile abakaele pa cinso cakwa Lesa.”

14 And you will be blessed, because they

cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid

at the resurrection of the just.”

Amalumbo 36:7-8 Psalm 36:7,8

7Ifyo kwawama ukutemwa kobe ukushipwa we Lesa, abantu bonse bafisama mu cintelelwe ca mapindo yobe.

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O

God! Therefore the children of men put

their trust under the shadow of Your

wings.

8Balya ifyanona mu ŋanda yobe ubanwesha mu mumana wa nsansa shobe.

8 They are abundantly satisfied with the

fullness of Your house, And You give them

drink from the river of Your pleasures.

Amalumbo 41:1 Psalm 41:1

1Alishuka umuntu uusakamana abalanda na babusu, ico nao bakamwafwa kuli Yawe mu nshita ya mafya.

Blessed is he who considers the poor; The

Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.


Umbelele uluse we Lesa wandi, umbelele uluse pantu ine naisa mukushina uko uli. Mu cintelelwe ca mapindo yobe emo nakulauba, mpaka napo icinkunka cikapwila.

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to

me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the

shadow of Your wings I will make my

refuge, Until these calamities have passed

by.

9 Cindika Yawe mu fyuma fyobe, no kulamutuulapo ifisabo fyantanshi fyobe fyonse.

9 Honor the Lord with your possessions,

10 Elyo ninshi amatala yobe yakulaisula paa no kupala, ne nsupa shobe shikalaisula paa no mwangashi upya.

10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,

And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Esaya 58:10 Isaiah 58:10

RUTI 2:13 Ruth 2:13

Elyo Ruti asosele ati, “Lekeni nkonkanyepo ukusanga ukusekelelwa pa cinso cenu mwe mfumu yandi, pantu mwampeela icikoselesho no kulanda ifisuma kuli ine ne mubomfi wenu, nangu ine nshilingene na babomfi benu abanakashi nelyo umo.

Then she said, Let me find favor in your sight, my lord: for that you have comforted me, and for that you have spoken friendly unto your hand-maid, though I be not like unto one of your handmaidens.

Ruti apapa kabili ali ua nsansa. Ci e cintu icakusekesha ica kubalilapo ica citika kuli Ruti panuma yakuba muka mfwila ku Moabu. Ruti aibukisho kuti mweni pa banakasi bonse.

Ruth is astonished, and very happy! This is the first cheerful thing that has happened to Ruth since she first appeared as a widow in Moab. Ruth remembers that she is a foreigner, a stranger among the other servant women.

RUTI 2:14 Ruth 2:14

Awe pa nshita yakulya Boasi atile kuli Ruti, “Palama mupepi, wise ulyeko umukate, uutumpikeko na mu mwangashi uwasasamina.” Elyo Ruti aikele mupepi na

And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 9

basomboshi, na Boasi amupeelako imbuto ishasalulwa. Ruti nao alilafye apo alefwaila no kushapo shimo

parched corn, and she did eat, and was satisfied, and left.

Ingano shali ishisuma ishafumine ku mutwe kufisabo ifyo baocele,.

The parched grain consisted of fresh ears taken from the new barley crop and roasted in a pan. Or, as described by W. M. Thompson...

Alisendele no kubwelelamo ku musumba, alanga na nyinafyala ifyo alesotasota. Elyo Ruti nao afumishe icakulya icashelepo ilyo aikwite, apeela na nyinafyala. Nao nyinafyala atile kuli wene, Waciba ulesotasota kwi? Kabili ni kuli ani wacibombela? Abe uwapaalwa umuntu uyo uukulangulukileko!”

A quantity of the best ears are plucked with the stalks attached. These are tied into small parcels. A blazing fire is kindled with dry grass and thorn bushes, and the grain is held in it until most of the chaff is burned off. The grain is roasted enough to be eaten.

Ruti alesotasota mwibala casuka caba icungulo. Ilyo apumine fyonse ifyo alesotasota ifya mbuto sha bale, afumishemo ifyafika ku cipimo ca efa umo. 18Alisendele no kubwelelamo ku musumba, alanga na nyinafyala ifyo alesotasota. Elyo Ruti nao afumishe icakulya icashelepo ilyo aikwite, apeela na nyinafyala.

Ruth's place beside the repears shows that she was an accepted member of the group now. This place of some honor was more than just a courtous ges-ture, however, for the context indicates that she had plenty to eat, with quite a quantity left over, as verse shows.

Ishibeni: ishiwi lya kuti “ukufika” telintu lya seka. Kuti lyakwata ukucita mukupekanya kwa fya kulya, kabili kuti lya pilibula ukutulike fintu mukupekanya kwa fya kulya.

Note: the verb "reached" is unusual. It may have something to do with the preparation of the food; and it may mean to "heap up" a portion in the serving of food.

UMWINA KRISTU MU NCENDE YA KUBOMBELAMO - THE CHRISTIAN IN THE WORKPLACE

Tito 2:9, 10 Titus 2:9,10

9Abasha balenakila bashikulwibo no kulabasansamusha mu fintu fyonse. Tabali nakulabakaanyapo nelyo cimo ilyo balelanda, 10nangu ukubebila ifintu. Lelo bafwile ukuilanga ukuti bantu abasuma lyonse, kabili bantu abalingile ukucetekelwa. Epakuti fyonse ifyo balecita fileleta umucinshi ku fifundwa pali Lesa Umupusushi wesu

"Exhort servants to be obedient to their

own masters, and to please them sell in all

things; not answering again; not stealing,

but showing all good fidelity; that they

may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour

in all things."

Ifi fipandwa filelangisha ifipope ififwile ukutunguula ubwikashi bwesu ubwa nshinku shonse.

These verses show in capsule form the principles which are to govern the everyday life of a Christian who is an employee and who wants to be a witness for Christ on the job.

Umwina Kristu abombela pa cipope ca kusenamina. Apele cilangililo ca fisabo fya Mupashi wa Mushilo. Abomfya ifipope fya mu Cipingo icapala icitetekelo icitusha, ukwenda mwisenge na Kristu, ukwikala pamo na Kristu, ukucipanga ubushiku bumo.

A Christian operates on Grace principles. He is gracious. He gives evidence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. He uses Bible techniques such as Faith-Rest, Walking in Fellowship, Occupation with Christ, to make it through each day producing divine good.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 10

Umwina Kristu Kangalila wa basomboshi nao atile, Uyu mukashana, mwina Moabu uwabwelele ukufuma ku calo ca Moabu pamo na Naomi. 7Ena acisa lomba ati, ‘Napapata lekeni nsotasotemo imisonso ya bale iyileshala no kukaka imyanshi, ndekonka umulesombola abasomboshi benu.’ Kanshi ukufumafye ulucelo ilyo aciya mwibala, acibafye alebomba ukufika na nombaline, elyo acituushakofye pa nshita inono mu cintelelelwe.”

A Christian does his job as though Christ himself were boss - "as unto the Lord." He does a more than a day's work for a day's pay. He is the first to arrive and the last to leave. He takes sick leave only when sick. He doesn't cheat on break time, lunch, etc. He works diligently, cheerfully, enthusiastically, without complaining.

Ukubpmfya icitetekelo icitusha, umwina Kristu acetekela Lesa Shikulu pa lwa . Ukubutuka te kwenda ukulelangilila ukukabila kwa kufwaya ukucita ico tutemonwe ukulola kwisambililo lya ca nkama ca lukuta ulwa ino nkulo litupela ifwe bonse amalyashi yonse ukulola kukwishiba ukupekanya kwakwa Lesa, umulimo, elyo no bufwayo bwakwe palwa myeo yesu panuma yepusukilo.

Using Faith-Rest principles, a Christian trusts the Lord for salary, promotion, status. He is aware that only God knows how much prosperity he should have and when he should be promoted. He rejoices when others get ahead as evidence of the grace of God in their lives even when they don't deserve it.

Umwina Kristue uwiisunga, uwaikanya. Naishino kuti apwali pakuti Shikulu , teeka iyo ukuti bamu bomfye kuli Shikulu, tekuba fye ngo mu bomfi lelo nge mboni ya kwa Kristu.

A Christian is modest, self-effacing, supportive of others, cooperative. He realizes that he is there to be used by the Lord, not only as an employee, but also as a witness for Christ.

Umweo wa mwina Kristu uukwe, uwamulupwa, mu bwikashi ulasansamuka no kuba bwino ilyo balishimikila Kristu

The believer's personal life, social life, family life are happy and stable so that they enhance his work life rather than hinder him on the job.

Kwaliba inshila ishingi isho tupepelamo Lesa, lelo shonse shifwile shalola ku kukula kumupashi kwesu. Fyonse mukulongana mukushinshimuna fifwaya ukucita kushimika icebo cakwa Lesa, umulandu tulecitila ici wakuleta ukukulana.

He exercises grace principles -- recognizes fellow workers as objects of God's grace, does not bear grudges, forgives readily. Every day is a new day. He does not contribute to office gossip or politics, because he has no need to build his success on someone else's failure.

Alelolela pakuti inshita ifike iyakuti ashimikile nokuitulo mwino. Ii nshita yasungwa iyakushimikila pa mweo wa muntu kuti bambi bamone.

He waits patiently for the opportunity for verbal witness, which is almost certain to present itself. The stage has been set for a vital witness by his life witness which others have been able to observe.

UKUPELE LAMBO NE FYABUPE KWA BENA LEVI - LEVITICAL SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS

Ubulondoloshi Introduction

Kwaliba amashi ayabomfeshiwa mu Cipingo ukulangisga amasambililo ya kupele lambo. Ica kubakilapo kutotela Lesa tacilepilibulo kuti nacishapo napali wene,

There are several terms used in the Bible to describe the act of sacrifice. The first has to do with something given or offered to God, and is used particular with regard to bloodless offerings. Examples are the use of the word "gift" in:

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 11

Ukutendeka 33:13-20 Genesis 33.13-20

13Lelo Yakobo amweba ati, “Shikulu nawishiba ukuti abana tabalakosa, kabili ine nine ndi nokusunga impaanga, imbushi ne ŋombe ishileonsha utwana. Elyo nga cakuti bashensha lunkwa lunkwa akasuba konse nangufye pa bushiku bumo, inama shonse ninshi shikafwa.

13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows

that the children are weak, and the flocks

and herds which are nursing are with me.

And if the men should drive them hard one

day, all the flock will die.

14Kanshi shikulu, natangilekofye, na ine ne mubomfi wenu nakulaisa buce buce ukulingana napo ifitekwa fili pantanshi na bana bandi bakulaendela, mpaka nkese fika kuli iwe shikulu ku Seiri.”

14 Please let my lord go on ahead before

his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace

which the livestock that go before me, and

the children, are able to endure, until I

come to my lord in Seir.”

15Esau epakusosa ati, “Kanshi leka nkushileko abantu bamo abakwenda nabo.” Yakobo ayasuka ati, “Nga ico ulecitila ifyo cinshi? Ine ico ndefwayafye cakuti iwe shikulu unsekelele.”

15 And Esau said, “Now let me leave with

you some of the people who are with me.”

But he said, “What need is there? Let me

find favor in the sight of my lord.”

16Kanshi pali ubo bwine bushiku, Esau aima abwelelamo ku Seiri.

16 So Esau returned that day on his way to

Seir.

17Lelo Yakobo wena aya ku Sukoti, eko aikuulila iŋanda, kabili akuulako ne misakuta umwakwikala ifitekwa fyakwe. Kanshi eco betila ilya ncende Sukoti.

17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built

himself a house, and made booths for his

livestock. Therefore the name of the place

is called Succoth.

18Panuma ilyo Yakobo abwelele ukufuma ku Padani Aramu, afikilefye umutende ku musumba wa Shekemu mu calo ca Kenani. Acita ne nkambi mupepi no musumba.

18 Then Jacob came safely to the city of

Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan,

when he came from Padan Aram; and he

pitched his tent before the city.

19 Iyi mpanga acitilepo inkambi ashitile pa ndalama isha silifa umwanda umo (100) kuli bamwana Hamori wishi wakwa Shekemu.

19 And he bought the parcel of land, where

he had pitched his tent, from the children

of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one

hundred pieces of money.

20Muli iyi ncende, emo akuula ubulambo, abwinika ne shina lya Eli Elohe Israeli.

20 Then he erected an altar there and

called it El Elohe Israel.

Ukutendeka 43:11 Genesis 43.11

Elyo shibo Israeli abeba ati, “Kanshi nga

nifyo cili nokuba, ninshi mucite ifi.

Mubuule ifintu ifyawamisha ifyo twakwata

muli cino calo kuno, mubike mu mifuko

yenu. Elyo mukafitwale ngo bupe kuli uyo

muntu. Mukasende utumafuta

twakupangilako umuti, utubuci, ifinyamuti

ifyanunka ubusaka, amafuta yalesha

ifitumbi ukubola muri, ne nseke sha kamuti

ka pisitakio na ka alumondi.

And their father Israel said to them, “If it

must be so, then do this: Take some of the

best fruits of the land in your vessels and

carry down a present for the man—a little

balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh,

pistachio nuts and almonds.

Ishiwi lyakuti ukupelo bunte mu: the word "tribute" in:

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 12

2 Samwele 8:2, 6 2 Samuel 8:2,6

2Kabili Davidi acimfya na bena Moabu.

Abalalika panshi mu milongo, elyo

alabapima na ku mwando. Abali mu

mitande ibili abapingula ukwipaiwa. Elyo

abo bonse abali mu mutande wacitatu

basuminishiwa ukuba abomi. Kanshi abena

Moabu epakusanguka ababomfi bakwa

Davidi no kwamba ukulaleta umutuulo

2 Then he defeated Moab. Forcing them

down to the ground, he measured them off

with a line. With two lines he measured off

those to be put to death, and with one full

line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites

became David’s servants, and brought

tribute.

6Davidi epakubika utwamba twa bashilika

bakwe mu calo ca bena Aramu wa ku

Damasiko. Elyo abena Aramu nabo baba

ababomfi bakwa Davidi, bayamba no

kulasonka umusonko. Yawe alengele Davidi

ukucimfya konse uko aya.

6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of

Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s

servants, and brought tribute. So the Lord

preserved David wherever he went.

1 Ishamfumu 5:1 1 Kings 5:1

lyo Hiramu imfumu ya ku Turi yaumfwa

ukuti Solomoni nasubwa ukuti eo apyane

pa bufumu bwakwa wishi Davidi, atumako

bacilolo bakwe kuli Solomoni pa mulandu

wakuti Hiramu ali ni cibusa wakwa Davidi

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants

to Solomon, because he heard that they

had anointed him king in place of his

father, for Hiram had always loved David.


4Nomba imfumu ya ku Asiria yasangile

ukuti Hoshea ali ncenjeshi, pantu alitumine

inkombe kuli So imfumu ya ku Egupto,

kabili aleka no kusonka umusonko ku

mfumu ya bena Asiria ngefyo alecita cila

mwaka. Kanshi Shalimaneseri

epakumwikata amubika na mu cifungo.

And the king of Assyria uncovered a

conspiracy by Hoshea; for he had sent

messengers to So, king of Egypt, and

brought no tribute to the king of Assyria,

as he had done year by year. Therefore the

king of Assyria shut him up, and bound

him in prison.

and the word "offering" in:

1 Imilandu 16:29 1 Chronicles 16:29

Mulelondolola ubulumbwa ubwalinga

ishina lyakwa Yawe,

muleleta no mutuulo pakwisa pa cinso

cakwe.

Mulepepa Yawe mu bucindami bwamushilo

wakwe.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name;

Bring an offering, and come before Him.

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of

holiness!


Lekeni ukundetela imituulo yenu

iyabuwelewele,

akacena ka bubani mutuula kalenselausha.

Inshikunkulu shenu isha mitebeto ya pa

kumoneka kwa mweshi upya,

Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is

an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the

Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I

cannot endure iniquity and the sacred

meeting.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 13

Mu Cipangano Cipya ilambo ni (holokautoma)ico icilepilibulo kuti conse (icilatni holocaustum). moneni

The other type is the bloody sacrifice, in which the shedding of blood is the main idea, as opposed to the whole burnt offering which is completely burned. The Greek word (thusia) is used for both the animal in the sacrifice and for the act of burning, whether literal or figurative. In the New Testament, a sacrifice (or offering) is ‘ (holokautoma), which means "wholly consumed (Latin holocaustum). See

Imilimo ya Batumwa 21:26 Acts 21:26

6Kanshi ubushiku ubwakonkapo Paulo

Alaishibisha abantu ilyo inshita

Then Paul took the men, and the next day,

having been purified with them, entered

the temple to announce the expiration of

the days of purification, at which time an

offering should be made for each one of

them.

Imilimo ya Batumwa 24:17 Acts 24:17

“Kwena pa myaka imo imo nalifumine mu

Yerusalemu. Nabwelelefye kukuleta

Now after many years I came to bring alms

and offerings to my nation,

Abena Efese 5:2 Ephesians 5:2

2Kabili muleenda abatemwana, nga filya

Kristu atutemenwe, asukile aileka ilambo

pa mulandu wesu, umutuulo uwa cena

cisuma kuli Lesa

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved

us and given Himself for us, an offering

and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling

aroma.

Abahebere 10:5 Hebrews 10:5

Eico Kristu pakwisa pano calo asosele ati,

“Amalambo ne mituulo taufifwaya, lelo

walinteyanishisha umubili.

Therefore, when He came into the world,

He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not

desire, But a body You have prepared for

Me.

Mako 12:33 Mark 12:33

Kabili ukumutemwa no mutima obe onse,

na mano yobe yonse, na maka yobe yonse,

elyo no kutemwa umubiyo ngefyo

waitemwa we mwine, ifi fintu fyalicila

amalambo yonse ayo balekela Lesa no

kumocela.”

And to love Him with all the heart, with all

the understanding, with all the soul, and

with all the strength, and to love one’s

neighbor as oneself, is more than all the

whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Abahebere 10:6-8 Hebrews 10:6-8

6

Amalambo yakoca inama yonse nangu

amalambo ya pa fyabubifi

tayakusansamusha nakalya.

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin

You had no pleasure.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 14

7

Na ine epakutila, ‘Mona naisa, we Lesa,

kukucita ifyo ufwaya, nga filya fine

calembwa palwa ine mu malembo.’ ”

7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the

volume of the book it is written of Me—To

do Your will, O God.’ ”

8

Ico abalilepo ukulanda, atile, “Amalambo

ne mituulo, amalambo yakoca inama yonse,

na malambo ya pa fyabubifi taufifwaya,

kabili tafikusansamusha nakalya.”

Amafunde yakwa Mose yena yalandile ukuti

aya malambo yali nokutuulwa.

8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering,

burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You

did not desire, nor had pleasure in them”

(which are offered according to the law),

Cain and Abel offered sacrifices to God.

Ukutendeka 4:3-4 Genesis 4:3,4

3Mu kuya kwa nshiku, Kaini aletele ifisabo fya mwibala lyakwe ngo mutuulo kuli Yawe.

3 And in the process of time it came to

pass that Cain brought an offering of the

fruit of the ground to the Lord.

4 Lelo Abeli ena aletele ifyamafuta ya mabeli ya fitekwa fyakwe atuula kuli Yawe. Yawe asekelele muli Abeli no mutuulo wakwe,

4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his

flock and of their fat. And the Lord

respected Abel and his offering,

Icabipe ca kwa Kaini cali ca bupe ca kubalilapo ica mu mushily kabili na Abeli apele ica kubalilapo ica finama. Elyo Nowa alangisho kutotela pamulandu wakupusushiwa. Mukukoshanya mukulenga ukuba uwakuibakilila we mwine no ku bomba panshi ya mubunfisolo bwa bu shimapepo bobe ukupwisha amafya yobe palobe ukubikapofye na mafia ayakalamba sana mu bumi bobe. Panshita watetekela palobe muli Kristu Yesu, umufula walikulilwe umuli ifintu ifingi ukufuma kuli Lesa. Umufula ni Yesu Kristu.

Cain's offering was "of the fruit of the ground," and Abel "of the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof". Then, Noah expressed his thanks for deliverance from the flood by offering burnt sacrifices on an altar he had constructed. The patriarchs consistently built altars and offered sacrifices, particularly in places where God had revealed Himself to them. As Edersheim has put it, in his book The Temple, "Indeed, to sacrifice seems as natural to man as to pray; the one indicates what he feels about himself, the other what he feels about God. The one means a felt need of propitiation, the other a felt sense of dependence."

Mu ma buku ya mafunde, ayakankala ifya kupele lambo kuleimininako ilambo lyakwa Kristu ilyo ilyasendele ulubembu lwesu. Mu nshita ya mafunde ya kwa Mose icabupe celambo cali cilayo ica milimo ne fyalefwaika ifya kupela fifwile fyabapo.

In the Pentateuch, the fundamental idea of sacrifice is that of substitution; and under the Mosaic law the offering of sacrifice was a covenant duty, with the materials of the offering and the ceremonies described in minute detail. The ground on which the legal offering of sacrifices is based is the commandment, "None shall appear before me empty".

Ukufuma 23:15 Exodus 23:15

Ilyo bafikile ku Mara, amenshi ayali kulya

yali ayalula. Kanshi bafililwe no kuyanwa.

Ici ecalengele palya bapenike ishina lya

You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened

Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread

seven days, as I commanded you, at the

time appointed in the month of Abib, for in

it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear

before Me empty);

or "Appear not empty before the face of Jehovah". That is to say, "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee"

Amalango 16:16-17 Deuteronomy 16:16,17

16“Abaume benu bonse bali nokuya monekela pa cinso cakwa Yawe Lesa wenu imiku itatu pa mwaka pa ncende iyo akasala, emukuti, Inshikunkulu iyakulyamo Imikate Iyishatutumuka, Inshikunkulu ya Milungu elyo ne nshikunkulu ya Nsakwe. Takuli mwaume wakumonekela pa cinso cakwa Yawe iminwe nkutwa.

16 “Three times a year all your males shall

appear before the Lord your God in the

place which He chooses: at the Feast of

Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks,

and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they

shall not appear before the Lord empty-

handed.

17Cila muntu ali nokusenda icabupe ukulingana ngefyo Yawe Lesa wenu amupaala.”

17 Every man shall give as he is able,

according to the blessing of the Lord your

God which He has given you.

Takwali imisango yamipepele mu Cipangano Cakale icapwilikishe ilambo lya kwa Kristu, ici cintu capangilwe na Lesa pakuti imbela ya bantu iya lubembu isuke kabili ukukana samba nokulangisha ukupokelela ukwelelwa kwa lubembu pakuti abantu babe abalungami paccinso ca kwa Lesa.

No religious act in the Old Testament was complete unless accompanied with sacrifice; the system was designed by God with the intention of awakening a consciousness of sin and uncleanness and of showing the possibility of obtaining the forgiveness of sin and becoming righteous before God.

Mukukoshanya mukulenga ukuba uwakuibakilila we mwine no ku bomba panshi ya mubunfisolo bwa bu shimapepo bobe ukupwisha amafya yobe palobe ukubikapofye na mafia ayakalamba sana mu bumi bobe.

Amafya yapwishiwa munshila shibili: ukupitila mukubomfya ifisolobelo fya mu Cipingo ifya kupwishishako amafya, elyo no kupitila mukwishiba ifikomo fimo ifya cebo cakwa Lesa. Ukukulana cikoselesho mukubomba kwa citemwiko mu lukuta, ukupitila mukushipikisha kulaleto kukula ku mupashi.

The presenting to God a gift of a portion of the results of one's labor implied a surrender of the person to God. But man is unholy and sinful, and is thus unable to surrender himself to the holy God. Therefore, laying the hand upon the head of the animal was a symbol of transferring to the victim of the sacrifice the sinfulness of the offeror. The animal thus took the place of the offeror and became his substitute; and the killing of the animal pointed out the necessity of death of the man whose sin alienates him from God.

Lelo, amalambo, ayapale nge fyo tayakwete anmaka ukuposha kwa kupusana pa kati ka bantu na Lesa. Ilyo Yesu Kristu uushabembwike kabili umulungami uwali ni Les kabili umuntu, aipeleshe umwine pa musalaba, afikilishe ifunde kabili no kwiminininako amalambo ne fyabupe fyonse.

However, sacrifices, as such, had no power in themselves to heal the rupture between God and man, because an animal cannot make an adequate satisfaction for the sin and guilt of man. When Jesus Christ, the sinless and righteous God-man, voluntarily offered Himself on the Cross, He fulfilled the Law of sacrifices and ordinances; and the typical meaning of each sacrifice and offering was brought out in full.

Mukukoshanya mukulenga ukuba uwakuibakilila we mwine no ku bomba panshi

The rest of this study is devoted to a description of the Mosaic sacrifices and

offerings, including a study of the materials used in each offering, the ceremony employed in making the sacrifice, and a brief discussion of the spiritual meaning, the typology, of each.

Ifikomo fya malambo ya bena Levi The Classes of Levitical Sacrifices

Kwali fikomo fibili ifya malambo mu Cipangano Cakale

There were two classes of sacrifice in Old Testament times.

Ilyakubalilapo lya li lilambo ilyapelwe pakuti abe mwisenge na Lesa. Ifi fishibikwe ukuti malambo ya kukonsolwelako ifyali lubembu nama mpulu.

The first class was those sacrifices offered to enable a person to enter into communion (fellowship) with God. These are known as propitiatory offerings and included the sin and trespass offerings.

Icacibili yali lilambo ilyapelwe iyapelwe ku wasumina ifi fyalundilepo fye ilambo lya mutende, ilya kutasha, ilambo lyakulaya kabili ne fyakulya ne fyakunwa ifya bupe.

The second class was intended to be offerings made by believers in fellowship; and these included the burnt offerings, peace offerings, thank offerings, votive offerings, freewill offerings, and meal and drink offerings.

Icintu cimo icisangwamo ilingi lingi mubumi bwa mwina kristu kweshiwa. Twikala mwisonde ilya wa muncende umwabula ukupwilila mukati ka bantu abo inshila shabumi bwabo shitungululwa na shetani elyo ne mbela ya membu shabo. Teti tukanye ukukwesana, ukulwishanya, no kutalalikana ukufuma muli ifi.

Keep in mind that when several sacrifices were offered on the same occasion, the propitiatory offerings were offered first, followed by the burnt offerings, and then the peace offering. The meal and drink offerings were offered with the burnt offerings, or by themselves.

Materials Used in the Sacrifices

Tukumanya amasanso yacilabushiku ayanono na yakalamba aya letwa pali ifwe mumikalile yabubumbo, mukukan ibukila, limbi na bantu mumicitile iyakumufulo, limbi nangu limo kumulandu wakulufyanya kwesu nangu imembu shesu.

With respect to the materials used in the sacrifices, they were divided into two classes: the blood sacrifices, in which an animal was killed, and the bloodless offerings, the "meal" (vegetable and mineral) and drink offerings.

Inama ishapelwe shali ni mpanga, ingombe, imbushi no tuni. Utuni twa nseba twalebomfeshiwa na bantu abashingakwanisha inama sha mutengo.

Animals offered included oxen, sheep, goats, and turtledoves or young pigeons. The pigeons were used by people who could not afford the more expensive animals and to serve as lesser sin offerings.

Abena Lebi 5:7 Leviticus 5:7

Nga cakuti umuntu takwete umwana wa

mpaanga ali nokuleta utupele tubili nangu

utubondo twa nkunda tubili kuli Yawe

icifuta mulandu pa bubifi acita. Kamo ka

mutuulo wakwelelwa pa bubifi acitile elyo

na kambi ke lambo lyakoca.

If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he

shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass

which he has committed, two turtledoves

or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering

and the other as a burnt offering.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 17


“Nga cakuti umwanakashi uyu takwete

umwana wa mpaanga, ninshi afwile

ukuletafye utubondo twa nkunda tubili,

nangu utwana twa fipele tubili, kamo ke

lambo lya cakoca, kambi nako ka mutuulo

wakwelelwa pa bubifi. Iyi e nshila

shimapepo ali nokutuulilamo ilambo

lyakufuta pa fyamukowesha, nao lyena

akasangululwa.”

And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then

she may bring two turtledoves or two

young pigeons—one as a burnt offering

and the other as a sin offering. So the

priest shall make atonement for her, and

she will be clean.’

Both male and female cattle could be offered.

Abena Lebi 3:1-6 Leviticus 3:1-6

1 “Umuntu nga alepeela umutuulo

Vegetables offered were grain, olive oil, wine, salt, and incense, which was partly vegetable and partly mineral. The grain was offered roasted in the ear or as fine flour, to both of which incense and oil were added (Lev. 2:1-15), or as unleavened bread or biscuits.

The animals and meat offerings selected for sacrifice were from the ordinary food of the Hebrews, in order to express gratitude for blessings bestowed and to pray for continuation of His goodness. As these offerings were the fruit of their life and work, and presenting them showed a consecration to God of their life with all its ability and energy.

In animal sacrifices, the animal was brought to the door or the tabernacle, near the altar. The person bringing the animal placed his hand on the animal's head, then killed it at the north side of the altar.

Abena Lebi 1:4, 5, 11 Leviticus 1:4,5,11

the burnt offering, and it will be accepted

on his behalf to make atonement for him.

When the sacrifice was part of the regular services on festive occasions or offered on behalf of the whole people, the animals were slaughtered and cut up by the priests.

Inongo umwipikilwe iyi nama, ifwile ukutobwa, kanofye nga epikile mu mupika wa mukuba, wena naukuuswe no kusambwa na menshi bwino bwino. Umwaume onse uwa muli bashimapepo euli nokulyako uyu mutuulo, wamushilo nganshi. Lelo ilyo umulopa wa mutuulo wakwelelwa pa bubifi waletwa kwi .

Once the animal was slain, the priest caught the blood in a vessel, and depending on the nature of the sacrifice, sprinkled some of it either on the side of the altar, on the horns of the Altar of Incense, or on the Ark (Day of Atonement). The remainder of the blood was emptied at the foot of the great altar.


Nomba senda inkonto iyo wikete mu

minwe, eyo ukalacitilako ifisungusho.”

You shall take some of the blood of the bull

and put it on the horns of the altar with

your finger, and pour all the blood beside

the base of the altar.

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 22


Nomba senda inkonto iyo wikete mu

minwe, eyo ukalacitilako ifisungusho.”

Then the priest shall dip his finger in the

blood and sprinkle it seven times before

the Lord, in front of the veil.

The animal was then skinned and cut into pieces by the offeror (or priest), and either entirely burnt on the altar or just the fat burnt on the altar, with any remainder being burnt outside the camp. This "burning" amounted to cooking the animal, and the animal was then eaten by the priests, or by the priests along with the one who had brought the animal.

Nge cifuta mulandu alete kuli shimapepo, emukutila kuli Yawe, umutuulo wakufuta pa bubifi, ukufuma pa mukuni wakwe, sukusuku uwabula akalema, uwa mutengo uwalinga. Na muli iyi nshila, shimapepo .

If the sacrifice was a bird, the priest wrung off the bird's head and allowed the blood to flow on the side of the altar. He then threw the viscera on the ash heap beside the altar, and the head and body were burnt on the altar.


Shimapepo ali nokucileta ku bulambo,

The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring

off its head, and burn it on the altar; its

blood shall be drained out at the side of

the altar.

If vegetable offerings were being made at the same time as burnt offerings, part of the flour and oil, some of the ears of corn and the cakes, along with the incense, were burned on the altar, the remainder going to the priests, who were required to consume it in the court of the tabernacle without leaven.

He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the

priests, one of whom shall take from it his

handful of fine flour and oil with all the

frankincense. And the priest shall burn it

as a memorial on the altar, an offering

made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

If the offering was a thank offering, one cake was presented as a wave offering (see below) to God, and was given to the priest who spilled the blood.

The sin offering was first directly commanded in Lev. 4. "If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them", then that conduct would required a sin offering. The idea is that some sins are unintentional, "in error", and may have been committed through ignorance, hurry, lack of consideration, or carelessness, in other words, sins which came from human weakness, as opposed to sins which are deliberately and knowingly done in rebellion against God and His commandments. [The penalty for presumptuous sin was to be cut off from among God's people.

35 He shall remove all its fat, as the fat of

the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of

the peace offering. Then the priest shall

burn it on the altar, according to the

offerings made by fire to the Lord. So the

priest shall make atonement for his sin

Its presentation assumed that the offeror was conscious of sin; and the laying on of the hands was understood to mean that the sin was to be transferred to the animal.

The soul was brought into fellowship within divine grace through the pouring out of the blood of the sacrifice, analogous to the death of Christ on the Cross. The burning of the fat on the altar was an offering of a "sweet savor" to God, and was symbolical of the handing over to God the better part of man, that which is capable of cleansing and renewal, in order that it might be purified by the fire of God's holiness and love.

If the offering was a bullock offered on behalf of the high priest or of the whole congregation, its blood was taken into the Holy Place and sprinkled seven times toward the inner veil, then upon the horns of the altar of incense. The remainder was poured at the foot of the altar of burnt offering

On the Day of Atonement, the high priests took the blood of the sin offering made for himself (the bullock) into the Holy of Holies and sprinkled it on the Mercy Seat of the Ark. He then returned to the altar and took the blood of the goat offered for the sins of the congregation into the Holy of Holies and sprinkled it in the same manner.

The trespass offering was also a propitiatory offering, but it was made for a special offense, while the sin offering was made for the person of the offender. "In fact, the trespass offering may be regarded as representing ransom for a special wrong, while the sin offering symbolized general redemption" (Edersheim, The Temple, p. 100ff).

Umutulo wa mampulu wali ni nama ya ramu, iyo iya mutengo walepimwa na shimapepo kulingana na ma shekel ya mwi tempele.

The trespass offering was a ram, which was valued by a priest according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

Uyu mutulo tawali wakufiba pa lubembu, nge fyo cali ku mitulo imbi.

The name for the burnt offering comes from the Hebrew word holah, "ascending", because, as the animal was wholly consumed in the fire (with the exception of the skin), the smoke would rise toward heaven. (The animals in other sacrifices were only partially consumed on the altar.) The burnt offering symbolized the entire surrender to God of the individual or congregation, God's acceptance of that surrender, and therefore the renewal and restoration of the individual. This offering was

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 36

not made to atone for sin, as were the other offerings.

Uyu mutulo walelangisha ukufwaya kwa mu mutima kwa mwina Hebere uli onse e ico yalefwaikwa ukutwala ilingi mu nshite shi:

This offering was supposed to reflect the inward volition of every true Hebrew and so was required to be presented regularly on the following occasions:

On the same day the king consecrated the

middle of the court that was in front of the

house of the Lord; for there he offered

burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat

of the peace offerings, because the bronze

altar that was before the Lord was too

small to receive the burnt offerings, the

grain offerings, and the fat of the peace

offerings.

The burnt offering was the only sacrifice that non-Israelites were allowed to bring. The emperor Augustus had a daily burnt offering brought for him of two lambs and a bullock; and this sacrifice was regarded as indicating that the Jews recognized him as their ruler. At the commencement of the Jewish war, the high priest Eleazar rejected this offering, which was seen as rebellion against Rome.

In this offering, the idea of sin is not conspicuous, and sets forth Christ offering Himself without spot to God to perform God's will with joy; the offering is a sweet savor to God, so-called because it deals with Christ in His own perfections and devotion to the Father's will, as opposed to the non-sweet savor offerings which show Christ carrying the believer's sin.

The goat typifies a sinner, and, when it is used for Christ, shows Him as the One who was "numbered with the transgressors." The turtledove or pigeon symbolizes mourning innocence and portrays poverty. It shows forth Him who became poor that we might become rich.

Umutulo wa mutende wali lyali lilambo ilya pelwe nowasumina mukuba mwisenge na Lesa. Yalyakashiwa mu mitulo itatu:

The peace offering was another sacrifice offered by a believer in fellowship with God. It is divided into three kinds of offering:

(1) umtulo wa kutotela, nangu ilambo lya kutotela

(1) the thank offering, or sacrifice of thanks


12“Umuntu nga atuula umutuulo

wakulanga ukutotela, afwile atuulila

umwakandawilwa na mafuta, kabili ne

mikate iyapangwa no bunga bwa ŋanu

mafuta.

If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he

shall offer, with the sacrifice of

thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with

oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or

cakes of blended flour mixed with oil.


29“Ilyo lyonse muletuula umutuulo

wakutotela kuli Yawe, utuuleni mu nshila

And when you offer a sacrifice of

thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your

own free will.

Na (3) umutulo wakuipelesha. Umutulo wa mutende lyonse walekonka umutulo uli onse uwalecitika

and (3) the freewill offering. The peace offering always followed any other sacrifices that were taking place.

Umutulo wa mutende uwapalwalala walepelwa pa nshita ya kusefya, pa kusale imfumu kabili nalyonse ifintu ifyalecitika ilyo fya endele bwino.

Public peace offerings were customary on festive occasions, the election of kings, and whenever some important enterprise had been successful.


5Elyo atuma abalumendo abena Israeli,

nabo batuula amalambo yakoca, kabili

baipaya ne fiponti fya ŋombe shilume

Then he sent young men of the children of

Israel, who offered burnt offerings and

sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the

Lord.

17Ifi efyo baletele Imbokoshi yakwa Yawe

17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and

set it in its place in the midst of the

tabernacle that David had erected for it.

Then David offered burnt offerings and

peace offerings before the Lord.

18Elyo panuma yakupwisha ukutuula

18 And when David had finished offering

burnt offerings and peace offerings, he

blessed the people in the name of the Lord

of hosts.

19 Elyo apeela umukate umo umo,

19 Then he distributed among all the

people, among the whole multitude of

Israel, both the women and the men, to

everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat,

and a cake of raisins. So all the people

departed, everyone to his house.

And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace

offerings, which he offered to the Lord,

twenty-two thousand bulls and one

hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So

the king and all the children of Israel

dedicated the house of the Lord.

1 Samwele 11:15 1 Samuel 11:15

So all the people went to Gilgal, and there

they made Saul king before the LORD in

Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace

offerings before the LORD, and there Saul

and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

Amalango 27:7 Deuteronomy 27:7

You shall offer peace offerings, and shall

as Moses the servant of the Lord had

commanded the children of Israel, as it is

written in the Book of the Law of Moses:

“an altar of whole stones over which no

man has wielded an iron tool.” And they

offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord,

and sacrificed peace offerings.

Iyi mitulo yalepelwa pa kusefya kwa Pentekoste

These offerings were specifically prescribed for the Feast of Pentecost.


19Kabili muli nokutuula sawe umo ngo

twa mpaanga tubili utwa mwaka umo ngo

mutuulo wakwampana.

Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the

goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs

of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace

offering.

Ukusefya kwa leibukishiwa no mutulo wa mutende; na Solomoni alipingula ilambo lya kusefya ukuti kubepo imiku itatu mu mwaka.

Festivals were observed with peace offerings; and Solomon ordered a sacrificial festival of burnt and peace offerings to be held three times a year.


5 Imiku itatu cila mwaka Solomoni aletuula

Now three times a year Solomon offered

burnt offerings and peace offerings on the

altar which he had built for the Lord, and

he burned incense with them on the altar

that was before the Lord. So he finished the

temple.

Umutulo wa mutende ulanda pa lwa kusenamina Apa epali ubulayo bwa kwa Lesa ubu cingilila kabili e cipela ukusenamina ukupala. Shikulu alikwata ubwasuko pali Abrahamu ukulingana no kusenamina uko Lesa amubikile ukufuma kumu yayaya. Amapange yakwa Lesa pali Abrahamu yalebomba kale. Ni Abrahamu fye eufwile ukwibukisha ifilayo fya kwa lesa ifya kunuma nokusumina.

The peace offerings speak of the state of grace of the believer in fellowship with God, and they took place mainly in connection with feasts commemorating God. They helped to establish people more firmly in their walk with Jehovah and to be more mindful of God when enjoying prosperity and mercies. The peace offering also enabled the Hebrew to be reminded of God's nearness and protection whenever adversity threatened to take his mind off the Lord.

Cintu icaseka ukubika icilubo pa banobe lilya wapiti mu mafya ayapala abafyashi, mu ncende emo twikele, mu mushi twikala, abafikansa fya calo, abatwingishe incinto, nafimbi. Lelo uyu musango tausakamana ukupekanya kwa kwa Lesa, ipalo ilili lyonse, ifunde ilili lyonse, kabili nefilengo kuti tucule.

The thank offering was offered in times of personal or national prosperity or success, at any time, in fact, when the believer felt thankful to God for what He had bestowed.

Umutulo wakuipelesha cilemoneka wali pakati ka kuti Lesa ukusekelamo kwa kupekanya kwa kwe.

The freewill offering seems to have been centered in the desire to thank God for the enjoyment of His provision and to make supplication for its continuance.

Inama isho ishalepelwa ngo mutulo wa mutende tawakwete akalema.

The animals in the peace offerings were either unblemished oxen or smaller cattle of either sex.

1 ‘When his offering is a sacrifice of a

peace offering, if he offers it of the herd,

whether male or female, he shall offer it

without blemish before the Lord.

Inama ishi shali bwino shalesuminishiwa mu kupelo mutulo wakuifwaila.

Deformed animals were allowable in freewill offerings.

Thus, the peace offering presupposed the previous reconciliation of the offeror with God and the holiness of his life as a basis of admission to fellowship with God.

Icifuba ne fipeya fyalipatulwilwe ukufuma kucibiye, icipeya icabikilwe ngo lubali lwa kusefya Mulungu, muli kulukuta, muleshinshimuna Lesa, ukumfwa bwino isenge na ba tetekela, fyonse ifimisekesha ukuba abena Kristu, elyo nomba ukumona fye imbela yenu yayamba uku cinja ku ncito pali Cimo ilyo incite yenu

The breast and right shoulder were then separated from each other, the shoulder being laid aside as the portion for the officiating priest. The breast was "waved", that is, raised in symbolic presentation to the Lord, and was given to the priests to be eaten either boiled or roasted in some clean place.

The rest of the meat belonged to the offeror, furnishing food for the sacrificial feast for himself and his family. In the case of the thank offering, it must be eaten the same day; in other cases it could have been eaten on the second day, but no later. Whatever was not eaten had to be burned, but not on the altar.

Ngo muntu uwalufyenye no lupwa lwa kwe ilyo balile ifya kulya ifya mutende, caleimininako bumupashi no luse lwa kwa Lesa, ukusekesha kwa kupwililika kwa nsansa mu cinso ca kwa Shikulu.

As the offeror and his family ate the material food of the peace offering, it was a symbol of their being spiritual fed with the mercies of God, of being satisfied with fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord.

This was a feast of love and joy, symbolizing the privilege of dwelling in the house and family of the Lord, and so pictured the joy of His people before him.

The offering sets forth God as propitiated and the believer as reconciled - God and the sinner brought together in peace, both satisfied with the finished work of Christ.

The material of the meal offering was sometimes grain, offered partly unground and partly in refined flour, in both cases with oil poured on and incense added. At other times cakes were prepared, in three different ways (see above), with oil, but without leaven. Both kinds of meal offering were to be seasoned with salt.

Meal offerings were either public or private, and were either brought in connection with burnt or peace offerings or by themselves. They were never offered with sin or trespass offerings. The established public occasions for the meal offering were;

In all of the baked meal offerings, an "omer", or sheaf of grain, was made into ten cakes, except for the high priests' meal offering of twelve loaves, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. In presenting the meal offering, the priest brought it in the gold or silver dish in which it had been prepared, then transferred it to a holy vessel, putting oil and frankincense on it. Standing at the south corner of the altar, he took a "handful" that was to be burned, put it in another vessel, laid some of the frankincense on it, carried it to the top of the altar, salted it, and placed in on the fire. The rest of the offering belonged to the priests, except in the case of the twelve loaves of showbread and loaves offered at the consecration of priests, which could not be eaten but were entirely burned

Uyu mutulo uleimi ninako Kristu mukupwililika kwa bumuntu bwa kwe uwa eshewe mukucula. Ubunga bwa mukate buleimininako bumuntu bwa kwa Kristu ubwabulo lubembu.

This offering typifies Christ in His human perfection tested by suffering. The fine flour represented His sinless humanity. The fire is the testing by suffering, even unto death. The frankincense symbolizes the aroma of His life toward the Father.

and pure frankincense with these sweet

spices; there shall be equal amounts of

each.

The absence of leaven, a type of evil, shows forth His spotless character. The oil mingled with the offering speaks of his conception by the Holy Spirit.

The wave offering was placed upon the outstretched hands of the offeror, and the priest put his hands under those of the offeror. Then the priest moved the whole backward and forward in a horizontal movement. The following offerings were to be waved before the Lord:

The breast of a private thank offering

25Elyo Farao aitile Mose na Aroni abeba ati,

“Kabiyeni mukulekela Lesa wenu amalambo

25 Then he took the fat and the fat tail, all

the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty

lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys

and their fat, and the right thigh;

26Mose nao amwasuka ati, “Ico cena

28 Then Moses took them from their hands

and burned them on the altar, on the burnt

offering. They were consecration offerings

for a sweet aroma. That was an offering

made by fire to the Lord.

29Mose nao amwasuka ati, “Cisuma

29 And Moses took the breast and waved it

as a wave offering before the Lord. It was

Moses’ part of the ram of consecration, as

the Lord had commanded Moses.

Umutulo wa Hefa ya kashika The Red Heifer Offering

Ilyo umuntu aishilekowela pakuti aikete inama iya kowela nangu umuntu uwakowela nangu mukwikata icitumbi. Ifyo balebomfya pakuwamya yali menshi ayalepita ne mito ya hefa iya kashika.

When a person became ceremonially unclean by some contact with an unclean animal or person or by contact with a dead person, he was required to go through a ritual cleansing. The material for this purification was composed of running water and the ashes of the "red heifer"

BELENGENI Impendwa 19 READ Numbers 19

The ashes were prepared as follows:

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 57

Yawe aebele Mose na Aroni ati, Ici ecilefwaikwa

mwifunde ilyo Yawe akonkomesha. Israeli na

benafyalo abo bakalaikala nabo.”

A heifer, without blemish, and which had never been yoked, was slaughtered outside the camp.

Ebeni abena Israeli ukuleta umusepela wa ŋombe iyikota uwakashika uwabula akalema nangu akabi kabili uushatala ausendapo ikoli. Mupeele kuli Eleasa shimapepo.

The son and successor of the high priest dipped his finger in the blood and sprinkled it seven times toward the sanctuary.

Ufumishiwe kunse ya nkambi no kuipaya pa menso yakwe. Elyo Eleasa shimapepo atumpike umunwe mu mulopa wauko, aukane imiku cine lubali ya kuntanshi ye Tenti

The heifer was burned in the presence of the priest, who, at the same time, took the cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wood, and cast them into the flames.

Lyakukumaninamo. Ilyo Eleasa shimapepo alemonako, boce uyo musepela wa ŋombe kumo kwine ne mpapa no munofu no mulopa ne fya mu mala. Shimapepo abuule ulusansu lwa cimuti icalepesha ica keda no tumisambo twa hisopo ne nsalu iyakashika cee, elyo afipose apalepya umusepela wa ŋombe.

A man who was free from defilement gathered the ashes and carried them to a clean place, still outside the camp, where they were stored for use as needed. All persons who were involved with this ceremony were considered unclean until that evening.

Ifyalekonkwa The Procedure

Panuma ya ifyo, shimapepo acape ifyakufwala fyakwe, elyo nokowa na pa muili wakwe na menshi. Lyena elyo ali nokubwelela ku nkambi. Lelo ali nokuba uwakowela ukufikafye ne cungulo.

When someone needed to have the purification rite performed on him, a man, who was himself free from defilement, took some of the ashes, put them in a vessel, and poured some fresh running water over them.

Uyo muntu uuleoca umusepela wa ŋombe nao ali nokucapa ifyakufwala fyakwe, elyo no kowa pa mubili na mensbhi, kabili nao wine ali nokuba uwakowela ukufikafye ne cungulo.

He dipped a bunch of hyssop into the mixture and sprinkled it upon the person to be purified, once three days after the uncleanness had been contracted, and again seven days after.

Kabili umuntu uwasangululwa akuse imito ya musepela wa ŋombe, no kuya ibika mu ncende iyasanguluka kunse ya nkambi.

At the same time, the tent in which a corpse had lain and all the furniture were sprinkled with the same water.

and it portrays the sacrifice of Christ as the medium of the believer's cleansing from the pollution contracted by his contact with the world. The order of cleansing is:

1. Ukwipaya kwe lambo 1. The slaying of the sacrifice

2. Ukusansa kwa mulopa imiku isano naibili, ukulangisha ukupwililka kwa kufumyapo lubembu lwa wasumina pa menso ya kwa Lesa.

2. The sevenfold sprinkling of the blood, showing the completed putting away of the believers sins before God

drink.

38 Mu Malembo Yamushilo calembwa

ukuti, ‘Onse uwansumina, mu nda yakwe

mukalatuntumuka imilonga ya menshi

yakupeela umweo.’ ”

38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture

has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of

living water.”

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 59

39Yesu pakulanda ifi, aloseshe kuli

Mupashi uo abakamusumina bali

nokupoka. Pali iyo nshita ninshi Mupashi

ali talapeelwa, pantu Yesu ali

talacindamikwa.

39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit,

whom those believing in Him would

receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet

given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Abena Efese 5:26 Ephesians 5:26

Acita ifi, pakuti ulukuta lube ulwamushilo,

ulwasangululwa mukusambika ku menshi

na ku mashiwi yakwe.

that He might sanctify and cleanse her with

the washing of water by the word,

Efyo fine abalume bali nokutemwa abakashi babo nga filya fine batemwa imibili yabo. Umwaume uwatemwa umukashi wakwe ninshi aliitemwa umwine. Tapatala apaba umuntu uwapata umubili wakwe. Lelo alaulisha no kuusunga bwino, nga filya fine Kristu acita ulukuta. Pantu ifwe tuli filundwa fya mubili wakwe.

The whole ritual shows the fact that the Holy Spirit used the Word of God to convict the believer of sin, thus making the believer conscious that the guilt of sin was to be borne by Christ in His sacrifice. Instead of losing hope, the convicted believer confesses the unworthy act and is forgiven and cleansed

Yohane 13:3-10 John 13:3–10

3Yesu ena ninshi naishiba ukuti Wishi

alimupeela amaka pa fintu fyonse, nokuti

afuma kuli Lesa kabili ni kuli Lesa

alebwelela.

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given

all things into His hands, and that He had

come from God and was going to God,

4Elyo Yesu aima pakulya. Afumyako

icakufimbana. Abuula insalu

yakukumwinako amenshi akaka mu

musana.

4 rose from supper and laid aside His

garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

5Elyo aitila amenshi mu musambilo,

atampa no kulasamba amakasa ya basambi

bakwe. Elyo alayakumuna na ku nsalu

akakile mu musana.

5 After that, He poured water into a basin

and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and

to wipe them with the towel with which He

was girded.

6Aisa kuli Simoni Petelo. Petelo amweba

ati, “We Mfumu, bushe niwe unsambe

amakasa?”

6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter

said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my

feet?”

7Yesu amwasuka ati, “Pa nshita ino

tawishibe ico ndecita, ukeshiba limbi.”

7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I

am doing you do not understand now, but

you will know after this.”

8Petelo ayasuka ati, “Awe tawakatale

aunsamba amakasa nakalya!” Yesu

amwasuka ati, “Kumfwa nga nshikusambile

amakasa ninshi tawakatale auba na ine.”

8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash

my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not

wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9Simoni Petelo amwasuka ati, “Kanshi we

Mfumu winsambafye amakasa, unsambe

iminwe no mutwe wine!”

9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my

feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10Yesu amwasuka ati, “Umuntu uowele

ninshi nasamba umubili onse, takabila

kusamba, kanofye ninshi amakasa. Mulifye

bwino tamuli na fiko, nomba te bonse.”

10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed

needs only to wash his feet, but is

completely clean; and you are clean, but

not all of you.”

Ruti 004: Ruti 2:8-14 60

1 Yohane 1:7-10 1 John 1:7–10

7Lelo nga twenda mu lubuuto nga filya

Lesa aba mu lubuuto, ninshi lyena

twalyampana na banensu no mulopa

wakwa Yesu Umwana wakwe ulatusamba

ifyabubifi fyesu fyonse.

7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the

light, we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son

cleanses us from all sin.

8Nga tutila tatwaba na bubifi, ninshi

tulaibepa ne cishinka tamwaba muli ifwe.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive

ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9Lelo nga tulayebelela ifyabubifi fyesu kuli

Lesa, apo wena wacishinka alacita ifyo

alaile. Alatubelela uluse ku fyabubifi fyesu

fyonse, no kutusamba ku fibi fyonse ifyo

tucita.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and

just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse

us from all unrighteousness.

10Nga twatila tatwatala atubifya, ninshi

tweba Lesa ukuti wabufi, na mashiwi yakwe

tayabamo muli ifwe.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we

make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
