Leviticus 27
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Yahweh in a vow, according to your valuation,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ otua sika mmom a,
3 your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
obetua dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfe aduonu kosi mfe aduosia,
4 If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a wadi mfe aduonu kosi aduosia a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ahaasa ne aduanan,
5 If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
abarimaa a wadi mfe anum kosi aduonu no nso wobetua dwetɛ gram ahannu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
6 If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
Abarimaa a wadi ɔsram kosi mfe anum no wobetua dwetɛ gram 60; na ɔbabea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfe aduosia no wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduoson; na ɔbea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.
Na sɛ obi yɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntua saa sika yi a, ɔde saa onipa no bɛba ɔsɔfo anim, na ɔsɔfo no akyerɛ no sika a obetumi atua.
9 “‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
“‘Sɛ ɔde aboa hyɛ bɔ sɛ afɔrebɔde a ɛfata ma Awurade a, saa aboa no a ɔde ama Awurade no bɛyɛ kronkron.
10 He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsesa saa aboa no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde nea eye sesa nea enye anaa sɛ ɔde nea enye sesa nea eye. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesae yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa abien no nyinaa ho tew.
11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
Sɛ aboa a ɔde rema Awurade no ho ntew na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfo,
12 and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.
na wahwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ onni mu, na wakyerɛ sika dodow a ɛsɛ sɛ otua de si aboa no anan.
13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
Sɛ aboa no yɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔre nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye nʼade a, obetua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka bo a ɔsɔfo no betwa ama no sɛ ontua no ho.
14 “‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.
“‘Sɛ obi de ne fi ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsese ahu sɛ eye anaasɛ enye. Bo biara a ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua.
15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
Sɛ nea ɔde ofi no mae no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a ɛsɛ sɛ otua ne bo no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho na ama ofi no asan abɛyɛ ne de.
16 “‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
“‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔde nʼabusua asase fa bi bɔ afɔre ma Awurade a, wobegyina aba kɛntɛnma dodow a ebehia sɛ wobedua wɔ so no so atwa asase no bo; aba kɛntɛnma biara bo yɛ dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson.
17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuw kyɛ a, ne bo no rensesa.
18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
Na sɛ ɔde asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ansa na Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a edi so no so asese ne bo no, na wobetumi atew so.
19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
Na sɛ ɔbarima no pɛ sɛ ogye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfo no bo a ɔbɛbɔ no, obetua ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na asase no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
Na sɛ nso ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ogye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforo a, ɛno de, wɔrentumi nnye bio.
21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
Sɛ wɔdan asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde bɛto hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfo no agyapade.
22 “‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
“‘Sɛ obi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ama wɔadi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne bo. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ka no da no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔde kronkron ma Awurade.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du so a, asase no bɛsan akɔ nea ɔtɔnee no anaasɛ nea na ɔyɛ asase no wura no nkyɛn.
25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
Wɔbɛsese ho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbona a wogye wɔ hyiadan mu no ho, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
26 “‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, efisɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwi anaa oguan no, yɛ Awurade de dedaw.
27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
Sɛ ɔyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho ntew no bi a, onipa no betumi atua ne bo no, na ɔde ɛbo no ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio de a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛnea ne bo te.
28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.
“‘Ade biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsan gye, efisɛ biribiara a ɛte saa no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
29 “‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
“‘Onipa biara a Awurade ayi no ama ɔsɛe no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne ti ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.
“‘Asase no so nnɔbae nkyɛmu du mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburow anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔsan tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburow no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne bo nkyɛmu anum mu baako ka ho.
32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
Anantwi ne nguan no ntotoso du du nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔto so du a ɔfa oguanhwɛfo nsam no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
33 He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
Aboa a ɔto so du a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnnhwɛ sɛ oye anaa onye, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼanan mu, efisɛ sɛ wɔde biribiara si anan mu a, ne nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron, a obiara rentumi nnye bio.’”
34 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Eyinom ne ahyɛde a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfo no.
