Levitiko 27
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati munthu anachita lumbiro lapadera loti adzapereka munthu mnzake kwa Yehova ndipo akufuna kuti amuwombole,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man who will have made a vow and espoused his soul to God shall give the price according to the estimation.
3 mtengo wake ukhale masekeli a siliva makumi asanu, molingana ndi kawerengedwe ka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, ngati munthuyo ndi wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa 20 ndi 60.
If it is a male from twenty years to sixty years, he shall give fifty shekels of silver, by the measure of the Sanctuary;
4 Ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi atatu.
if it is a woman, thirty.
5 Mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa zisanu ndi makumi awiri ukhale masekeli makumi awiri ndipo munthu wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a male shall give twenty shekels; a female, ten.
6 Ngati ndi munthu wamwamuna wa pakati pa mwezi umodzi ndi zaka zisanu, mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna ukhale masekeli asanu a siliva ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, ukhale masekeli atatu a siliva.
From one month until the fifth year, for a male, five shekels shall be given; for a female, three.
7 Ngati ndi munthu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi kapena kuposerapo, mtengo wa wamwamuna ukhale masekeli khumi ndi asanu, ndipo wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
At sixty years and beyond, a male shall give fifteen shekels; a female, ten.
8 Ngati munthu amene anachita lumbiro ndi wosauka kwambiri kuti sangathe kulipira ndalama zimenezo, abwere ndi munthu woperekedwa uja kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo ayike mtengo woti munthu wolumbirayo angathe kulipira.
If he is poor, and he does not have the means to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest, and however much he will value him and see that he is able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 “‘Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro kuti apereke ndi nyama imene amapereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, zonse zimene amapereka kwa Yehova nʼzopatulika.
But an animal which could be immolated to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be holy,
10 Munthu asasinthanitse ndi ina kapena kupereka ina yabwino mʼmalo mwa yoyipa, kapena yoyipa mʼmalo mwa yabwino. Ngati asinthitsa nyama ina mʼmalo mwa ina, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzake wasinthitsayo zikhala zopatulika.
and it cannot be exchanged, that is, neither better for worse, nor worse for better. And if he has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro ndi nyama yodetsedwa, nyama imene siloledwa kuyipereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, nyamayo abwere nayo kwa wansembe,
An unclean animal which could not be sacrificed to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be led before the priest,
12 ndipo wansembeyo atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake.
who, judging whether it is either good or bad, shall set the price.
13 Ngati mwini wakeyo akufuna kuwombola nyamayo, awonjezere pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zamtengowo.
But if he who offers it was willing to give, he shall add a fifth part above the estimation.
14 “‘Ngati munthu apereka nyumba yake kuti ikhale yopatulika kwa Yehova, wansembe atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake.
If a man has vowed his house, and he has sanctified it to the Lord, the priest shall examine it, whether it is good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price which he will have established.
15 Ngati munthu amene wapereka nyumbayo afuna kuyiwombola nyumbayo, awonjezere pamtengo wake wa nyumbayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ndipo nyumbayo idzakhalanso yake.
But if he who vowed it was willing to redeem it, he shall give a fifth part beyond the estimation, and he shall have the house.
16 “‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova mbali ina ya malo a makolo ake, mtengo umene awuyike ukhale wolingana ndi mtengo wa mbewu zimene zimadzabzalidwamo. Zikhale mbewu za barele za makilogalamu makumi awiri ndipo mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi asanu.
But if he has vowed a field of his possession, and has consecrated it to the Lord, the price shall be estimated according to the measure of the seed. If the land would be sown with thirty measures of barley, then let it be sold for fifty shekels of silver.
17 Ngati munthu apereka munda wake kuyambira chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mtengo wake ukhale umene unakhazikitsidwa.
If he has vowed his field beginning from the current year of Jubilee, as much as it may be worth, so shall it be estimated.
18 Koma ngati apereka mundawo chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu chitapita, wansembe adzatchula mtengo molingana ndi zaka zomwe zatsala kuti chifike chaka china chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo mtengo wake udzakhala wotsikirapo.
But if, after some amount of time, the priest shall evaluate the money according to the number of years that remain until the Jubilee, then the price shall be reduced.
19 Ngati munthu amene wapereka munda afuna kuwuwombola, ayenera kuwonjezera pa mtengo wake wa mundawo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu a mtengowo. Ndipo mundawo udzakhalanso wake.
But if he who had vowed it, was willing to redeem his field, he shall add a fifth part of the money to the estimation, and then he shall possess it.
20 Koma ngati sawuwombola mundawo, kapena ngati waugulitsa kwa munthu wina, mundawo sudzawomboledwanso.
But if he is not willing to redeem it, then it shall be sold to any other; he who vowed it is no longer able to redeem it.
21 Mwini mundawo akawusiya mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu ndiye kuti mundawo udzakhala wopatulika monga woperekedwa kwa Yehova: udzakhala munda wa ansembe.
For when the day of Jubilee arrives, it shall be sanctified to the Lord. And as a possession that has been consecrated, it rightfully belongs to the priest.
22 “‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova munda umene anagula, umene si malo a makolo ake,
If a field has been bought, and it is not from the possession of ancestors, it shall be sanctified to the Lord.
23 wansembe atchule mtengo wake kufikira pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo munthuyo apereke ndalama zokwanira mtengo wake pa tsikulo monga ndalama zopatulika kwa Yehova.
The priest shall evaluate the price according to the number of years until the Jubilee; and the one who had vowed it shall give to the Lord.
24 Pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mundawo udzabwezedwa kwa munthu amene anawugulitsayo, amene malowo anali ake.
Then, in the Jubilee, it shall be returned to the former owner, the one who had sold it and who had held it within the lot of his possession.
25 Potchula mtengo uliwonse wansembe awerengere molingana ndi mtengo wa sekeli wa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu: magera makumi awiri pa sekeli imodzi.
All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
26 “‘Koma pasapezeke munthu wopereka mwana woyamba kubadwa wa nyama, popeza mwana woyamba kubadwa ali kale wa Yehova, kaya ndi ngʼombe kapena nkhosa, zimenezi ndi za Yehova.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no one is able to sanctify or vow, whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they are for the Lord.
27 Ngati ili nyama yodetsedwa, ayiwombole pa mtengo umene wansembe wawuyika, ndi kuwonjezeranso pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ngati sayiwombola, igulitsidwe pa mtengo umene wansembe awuyike.
But if it is an unclean animal, whoever offers it shall redeem it, according to your estimation, and he shall add a fifth part to the price. If he is not willing to redeem it, it shall be sold to another for whatever amount it was estimated by you.
28 “‘Koma chinthu chilichonse choperekedwa kwa Yehova, kaya ndi munthu, nyama, kaya ndi malo a makolo, chimenechi chisagulitsidwe kapena kuwomboledwa. Choperekedwa kwa Yehova motere nʼchopatulika kwambiri.
All that is consecrated to the Lord, whether it is a man, or an animal, or a field, shall not be sold; neither is it able to be redeemed. Anything, once it has been consecrated, shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.
29 “‘Munthu amene waperekedwa kotheratu sangawomboledwe. Munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa.
And all that has been consecrated, which is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but shall surely die.
30 “‘Chakhumi chilichonse chochokera mʼdziko, kaya ndi tirigu wochokera mʼnthaka kapena chipatso cha mʼmitengo ndi za Yehova. Chimenecho ndi chopatulika kwa Yehova.
All the tithes of the land, whether from the grain, or from the fruits of trees, are for the Lord and are sanctified to him.
31 Ngati munthu afuna kuwombola chakhumi chilichonse, awonjezere pamtengo wake chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu za mtengowo.
But if anyone is willing to redeem his tithes, he shall add a fifth part to them.
32 Chakhumi cha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, kapena kuti nyama iliyonse ya khumi imene mʼbusa wayiwerenga idzakhala yopatulikira kwa Yehova.
Out of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, which cross under the rod of the shepherd, every tenth one that arrives shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33 Palibe amene adzaloledwa kusankha nyama yomwe ili yabwino kapena kusinthitsa. Ngati asinthitsa, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzakeyo zidzakhala zopatulika ndipo sangaziwombole.’”
It shall not be chosen by what is good or bad; neither shall it be exchanged for another. If anyone has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged, shall be sanctified to the Lord and shall not be redeemed.
34 Amenewa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anamupatsa Mose pa Phiri la Sinai kuti awuze Aisraeli.
These are the precepts, which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on mount Sinai.
