Leviticus 27
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũndũ o wothe angĩkeehĩta mwĩhĩtwa wa mwanya wa kwamũrĩra Jehova andũ, na ũndũ wa kũruta indo iria ciiganĩire iruta rĩu,
3 if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.
nĩũgaatua irĩhi rĩa mũndũ mũrũme wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ rĩkorwo rĩrĩ cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre,
4 Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
na aakorwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja, ũgaatua irĩhi rĩkorwo rĩrĩ cekeri mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
5 And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Aakorwo nĩ mũndũ wa kuuma mĩaka ĩtano nginya mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ũgaatua irĩhi rĩa mũndũ mũrũme rĩtuĩke nĩ cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na irĩhi rĩa mũndũ-wa-nja nĩ cekeri ikũmi.
6 Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.
Aakorwo nĩ mũndũ wa kuuma mweri ũmwe nginya mĩaka ĩtano, ũgaatua irĩhi rĩa kahĩĩ rĩtuĩke nĩ cekeri ithano cia betha, na irĩhi rĩa kairĩtu nĩ cekeri ithatũ cia betha.
7 And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
Aakorwo nĩ mũndũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kana makĩrĩa, ũgaatua irĩhi rĩa mũndũ mũrũme rĩtuĩke nĩ cekeri ikũmi na ithano, na rĩa mũndũ-wa-nja nĩ cekeri ikũmi.
8 But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
Angĩkorwo mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa nĩ mũthĩĩni mũno ndaangĩhota kũrĩha irĩhi rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo, nĩagatwara mũndũ ũcio kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũgaatua irĩhi rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa angĩhota kũrĩha.
9 If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.
“‘Angĩkorwo kĩndũ kĩrĩa eeranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa nĩ nyamũ ĩngĩĩtĩkĩrĩka ĩrĩ iruta kũrĩ Jehova, nyamũ ta ĩyo ĩheanĩtwo kũrĩ Jehova ĩrĩtuĩkaga nĩ nyamũre.
10 He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.
Ndakanamĩkũũranie kana amĩgarũranie, aige ĩrĩa njega ithenya rĩa ĩrĩa njũru, kana aige ĩrĩa njũru ithenya rĩa ĩrĩa njega; angĩgakũũrania nyamũ ĩyo na ĩngĩ, cierĩ ĩyo ya mbere na ĩyo ya gũkũũranio nĩigatuĩka nyamũre.
11 But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.
Angĩkorwo kĩndũ kĩu ehĩtĩte kũruta nĩ nyamũ ĩrĩ na thaahu, ĩrĩa ĩtangĩĩtĩkĩrĩka ĩrĩ iruta kũrĩ Jehova, nyamũ ĩyo no nginya ĩtwarĩrwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai,
12 The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.
ũrĩa ũgaatua kana nĩ njega kana ti njega. Thogora ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agaatua, ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka thogora wayo.
13 If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.
Angĩkorwo mwene no ende gũkũũra nyamũ ĩyo, no nginya ongerere gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithano harĩ thogora ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo.
14 Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.
“‘Mũndũ angĩamũra nyũmba yake ĩrĩ kĩndũ kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatua itua kana nĩ njega kana ti njega. Thogora ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agaatua, ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka thogora wayo.
15 But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wamũrĩte nyũmba yake angĩmĩkũũra-rĩ, no nginya ongerere gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithano gĩa thogora wayo, nayo nyũmba ĩyo nĩĩgatuĩka yake rĩngĩ.
16 If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.
“‘Angĩkorwo mũndũ nĩakamũrĩra Jehova gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda wa nyũmba yao, thogora waguo ũgaatuuo kũringana na mbeũ iria ingĩhaandwo, nacio nĩ cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha, iria arĩ kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa omeri ya mbeũ cia cairi.
17 If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.
Angĩkaamũra mũgũnda wake Mwaka-inĩ wa Jubilii, thogora ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo nĩguo ũgaatuĩka thogora waguo.
18 But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced.
No angĩamũra mũgũnda wake thuutha wa Jubilii, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatua thogora kũringana na mĩaka ĩrĩa ĩtigarĩte Jubilii ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩgĩgaakinya, naguo thogora waguo nĩũkanyihanyiihio.
19 And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.
Mũndũ ũcio wamũrĩte mũgũnda wake angĩenda kũũkũũra, nĩakongerera gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithano harĩ thogora waguo, mũgũnda ũcio ũcooke ũtuĩke wake rĩngĩ.
20 If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.
No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ndegũkũũra mũgũnda ũcio, kana aakorwo nĩawendeirie mũndũ ũngĩ, mũgũnda ũcio ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũgaakũũrwo o na rĩ.
21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.
Rĩrĩa mũgũnda ũcio ũkaarekererio Mwaka-inĩ wa Jubilii, nĩũgatuĩka mwamũre, o ta mũgũnda wamũrĩirwo Jehova; ũgaatuĩka mũgũnda wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
22 Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,
“‘Ningĩ mũndũ angĩkaamũrĩra Jehova mũgũnda ũrĩa agũrĩte, na ti mũgũnda wa nyũmba yao,
23 then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.
mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatua thogora waguo nginya Mwaka wa Jubilii, nake mũndũ ũcio nĩakarĩha irĩhi rĩu mũthenya ũcio taarĩ kĩndũ kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.
Mwaka-inĩ wa Jubilii, mũgũnda ũcio nĩũgacookerera mwene ũrĩa wamwendeirie, ũrĩa warĩ mwene mũgũnda ũcio.
25 Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
Thogora wothe ũrĩtuagwo kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, nacio nĩ geera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ harĩ cekeri ĩmwe.
26 But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.
“‘Na rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩamũrĩra Jehova irigithathi rĩa nyamũ, nĩ ũndũ marigithathi mothe nĩ ma Jehova; arĩ ndegwa, kana ngʼondu, icio nĩ cia Jehova.
27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
Angĩkorwo nĩ nyamũ ĩmwe ya iria irĩ thaahu, no amĩgũre na thogora ũrĩa ĩtuĩrĩirwo, ongerere gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithano harĩ thogora ũcio. Aakorwo ndekũmĩkũũra, nyamũ ĩyo nĩĩkeendio na thogora ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo.
28 Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
“‘No gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩa mũndũ kĩrĩa aamũrĩire Jehova, arĩ mũndũ, kana nyamũ, kana mũgũnda wa nyũmba yao, kĩngĩendio kana gĩkũũrwo; indo ciothe ciamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩ nyamũre harĩ Jehova.
29 No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.
“‘Na rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wamũrĩirwo kũũragwo ũngĩkũũrwo; no nginya ooragwo.
30 Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
“‘Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe cia kuuma mũgũnda, arĩ ngano ya mũgũnda kana maciaro ma mĩtĩ, nĩ kĩa Jehova; gĩcunjĩ kĩu kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova.
31 If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
Mũndũ angĩgakũũra gĩcunjĩ gĩake gĩa ikũmi, no nginya akongerera gĩcunjĩ kĩngĩ gĩa ithano harĩ thogora ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo.
32 Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.
Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩothe kĩa rũũru rwa ngʼombe kana rwa mbũri, nyamũ ya ikũmi yothe ĩrĩa ĩhĩtũkagĩra rungu rwa rũthanju rwa mũrĩithi nĩĩkamũrĩrwo Jehova.
33 He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”
Mũndũ ndagathuure ĩrĩa njega kana ĩrĩa njũru, kana akũũranie. Angĩgakũũrania nyamũ ĩyo na ĩngĩ, cierĩ, ya mbere na ĩyo ya gũkũũranio, nĩ igaatuĩka nyamũre, na icio itingĩkũũrwo.’”
34 These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
Macio nĩmo maathani marĩa Jehova aaheire Musa Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai makoniĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
