Leviticus 27
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na akasema,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by your valuation.
“Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Iwapo mtu yeyote anatoa kiapo maalum cha kuwa mnathiri kwa Yahweh, tumieni tathmini zifuatazo:
3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwanaume aliye na umri kati ya miaka ishirini na miaka sitini yaweza kuwa shekeli hamsini za fedha, kulingana na vipimo vya shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu.
4 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
Kwa mwanamke wa umri uleule viwango vyenu vya thamani yapasa viwe shekeli thelathini vya fedha.
5 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Tangu wenye umri wa miaka mitano mpaka wa miaka ishirini viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwananume vitakuwa shekeli ishirini za fedha, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi za fedha,
6 If the person is from a month old even 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.
Kwa wenye umri wa tangu mwezi mmoja mpaka miaka mitano viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mawanaume vitakuwa shekeli tano za fedha na kwa mwanamke shekeli tatu za fedha.
7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Tangu wenye umri wa miaka sitini na zaidi kwa mwanaume viwango vyenu vya thamani vitakuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi.
8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
Lakini kama mtu atoaye kiapo cha mnadhiri hawezi kulipa kiwango hicho cha thamani, kisha huyo mtu anayetolewa lazima atapelekwa kwa kuhani, naye kuhani atamthamanisha huyo atolewaye kwa kiasi anachoweza kutoa yule anayetoa kiapo cha mnadhiri.
9 "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Jehovah, all that any man gives of such to Jehovah becomes holy.
Iwapo mtu anataka kutoa sadaka ya mnyama kwa Yahweh, na iwapo Yahweh ataikubali, kisha huyo mnyama atatengwa kwake.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
Mtu huyo hataruhusiwa kumtoa madhabahuni au kumbadilisha huyo mnyama, mzuri kwa mbaya au mbaya kwa mzuri. endapo atatoa mnyama badala ya mwingine, kisha wanyama hao wawili; yule anayetolewa na yule anayebadilishwa wanakuwa watakatifu.
11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Jehovah, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
Hata hivyo, iwapo kile mtu amishaapa kumtolea Yahweh kwa uhalisia siyo kisafi, kwa hiyo, Yahweh hatakikubali, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kumleta huyo mnyama kwa kuhani.
12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.
Kuhani atamthamanisha, kwa thamani ya soko la mnyama. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoiweka juu ya mnyama, hiyo ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
Na kama mmiliki anapenda kumkomboa, kisha tano ya thamani yake itaongezwa kwenye gharama yake ya ukombozi.
14 "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.
Mtu aitengapo nyumba yake iwe zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kisha kuhani ataweka thamani yake ama iwe ni nzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote itakayowekwa na kuhani juu yake, ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
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.
Lakini kama mmiliki wake anayeitenga nyumba yake anapenda kuikomboa, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake kwenye gharama ya ukombozi wake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake.
16 "'If a man dedicates to Jehovah 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.
Iwapo mtu anatenga sehemu ya ardhi yake mwenye, kisha tathmini yake itakuwa katika uwiano kwa kiwango cha kiasi cha mbegu inayotakiwa kuipanda katika ardhi hiyo—homeri moja ya mbegu za shairi ambayo itathamanishwa kwa shekeli hamsini za fedha.
17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
Na kama analitenga shamba lake katika mwaka wa Yubile, tathmini yake ya awali itabaki kuwa ileile.
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.
Lakini endapo atalitenga shamba hilo baada ya mwaka wa Yubile, kisha kuhani atalazimika kukokotoa thamani yake kwa idadi ya miaka inayobaki mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na thamani yake lazima ishushwe.
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.
Iwapo mtu anayelitenga shamba lake anapenda kuliko, mboa, naye atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani, nalo shamba litakuwa lake tena.
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;
Iwapo halikomboi shamba, au iwapo amishaliuza shamba kwa mtu mwingine, haliwezi kukombolewa tena.
21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.
Badala yake, shamba hilo litakapoachwa huru katika mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kama lilivyo shamba lililotolewa kabisa kwa Yahweh. Nalo litakuwa mali ya kuhani.
22 "'If he dedicates to Jehovah a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
Iwapo mtu anatenga shamba alilolinunua, lakini hilo shamba siyo sehemu ya ardhi ya familia yake,
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 Jehovah.
kuhani atafanya tathmini yake mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na mtu huyo lazima atalipa thamani yake katika siku hiyo hiyo kuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh.
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.
Katika mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarejeshwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilikuwa limenunuliwa, kwa mmiliki wa ardhi.
25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
Tathmani yote lazima ifanywe kwa uzani wa shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu. Gera ishirini kwa shekeli moja.
26 "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Jehovah, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.
Asiwepo mtu atakayetenga mzaliwa wa kwanza miongoni mwa wanyama, kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wanyama tayari ni mali ya Yahweh; iwe ni maksai au kondoo, ni wa Yahweh.
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.
Na kama ni mnyama aliye najisi, kisha mmiliki wake anaweza kumnunua tena sawasawa na thamani yake, na sehemu ya tano lazima itaongezwa kwenye thamani hiyo. Na kama mnyama hakombolewi, naye atauzwa kwa thamani iliyowekwa.
28 "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Jehovah of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.
Hakutakuwa na kitu amabacho mtu anakitoa kwa Yahweh, kutoka katika vyote alivyonavyo, iwe ni mwanadamu au mnyama, au ardhi ya familia yake, ambacho chaweza kuuzwa au kukombolewa. Kila kitu kitolewacho ni kitakatifu sana kwa Yahweh.
29 "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
Hakuna fidia inayoweza kulipwa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyetolewa ili kuangamizwa. Mtu huyo sharti auawe
30 "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Jehovah's. It is holy to Jehovah.
Zaka yote iliyo ya ardhini, iwe nafaka ichipukayo juu ya ardhi au tunda kutoka kwenye miti, ni mali ya Yahweh. Ni takatifu kwa Yahweh.
31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
Iwapo mtu anakomboa chochote cha zaka yake, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani yake.
32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Jehovah.
Na kwa kila mnyama wa kumi wa kundi la ng'ombe au la kondoo, yeyote anayepita chini ya fimbo ya mchungaji, atatengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"
Mchungaji hatatafuta wanyma waliobora au wabaya kabisa, na haruhusiwi kubadili mnyama mmoja kwa mnyama mwingine. Iwapo anambadilisha kwa namna yoyote ile, kisha wote wawili yule wa kwanza na huyo aliyebadiliwa watakuwa watakatifu. Mnyama huyo atolewaye hawezi kukombolewa.'”
34 These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Yahweh alimpa Musa kwenye mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli.
