Leviticus 27
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔtua sika mmom a,
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.
ɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi mfeɛ aduosia,
4 Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi aduosia a, wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahasa ne aduanan,
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.
abarimaa a wadi mfeɛ enum kɔsi aduonu no nso wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a, wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
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.
Abarimaa a wadi bosome kɔsi mfeɛ enum no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram 60; na abaayewa nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
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.
Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfeɛ aduosia no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduɔson; na ɔbaa nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
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.
Na sɛ obi yɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntua saa sika yi a, ɔde saa onipa no bɛba ɔsɔfoɔ anim, na ɔsɔfoɔ no akyerɛ no sika a ɔbɛtumi atua.
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.
“‘Sɛ ɔde aboa hyɛ bɔ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛfata ma Awurade a, saa aboa no a ɔde ama Awurade no bɛyɛ kronkron.
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.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsesa saa aboa no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde deɛ ɛyɛ sesa deɛ ɛnyɛ anaa sɛ ɔde deɛ ɛnyɛ sesa deɛ ɛyɛ. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesayɛ yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa mmienu no nyinaa ho te.
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.
Sɛ aboa a ɔde rema Awurade no ho nte na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ.
12 The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.
Ɔno na ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ ɔnte saa, na wakyerɛ sika dodoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua de si aboa no anan.
13 If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.
Sɛ aboa no yɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔdeɛ nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsane gye nʼadeɛ a, ɔbɛtua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ɛboɔ a ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛtwa ama no sɛ ɔntua no ho.
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.
“‘Sɛ obi de ne fie ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsane gye a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛsese ne boɔ a ɔnte so,
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.
na saa onipa no atua, asane atua ɛbo korɔ no ara ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na efie no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
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.
“‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔde nʼabusua asase fa bi bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, wɔbɛgyina aba kɛntɛnma dodoɔ a ɛbɛhia sɛ wɔbɛdua wɔ so no so atwa asase no boɔ; aba kɛntɛnma biara boɔ yɛ dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson.
17 If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.
Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuo kyɛ a, ne boɔ no rensesa.
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.
Na sɛ ɔde asase no ma wɔ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ansa na Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a ɛdi so no so asese ne boɔ, na wɔbɛtumi ate so.
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.
Na sɛ ɔbarima no pɛ sɛ ɔgye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfoɔ no boɔ a ɔbɛbɔ no, ɔbɛtua ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na asase no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
20 If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.
Na sɛ nso ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔgye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforɔ a, ɛnneɛ wɔrentumi nnye bio.
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.
Sɛ wɔdane asase no ma wɔ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde ato hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no agyapadeɛ.
22 Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,
“‘Sɛ obi bi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
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.
ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ama wɔadi Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne boɔ. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ɛboɔ no ɛda no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.
Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no duru so a, asase no bɛsane akɔ deɛ ɔtɔneɛ no nkyɛn anaasɛ deɛ na ɔyɛ asase no wura no.
25 Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
Wɔbɛsese ɛho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbena a wɔgye wɔ hyiadan mu, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
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.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwie anaa odwan no, yɛ Awurade dea dada.
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.
Sɛ ɔyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho nteɛ no bi a, onipa no bɛtumi atua ne boɔ no, na ɔde ɛboɔ no mu nkyɛmu enum mu baako aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio deɛ a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛdeɛ ne boɔ teɛ.
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.
“‘Adeɛ biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsane gye, ɛfiri sɛ, biribiara a ɛte saa no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
29 No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.
“‘Onipa biara a Awurade ayi no asi nkyɛn ama ɔsɛeɛ no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne tiri ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
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.
“‘Asase no so nnɔbaeɛ nkyɛmu edu mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburoo anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
31 If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔsane tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburoo no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne boɔ nkyɛmu enum mu baako ka ho.
32 Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.
Anantwie ne nnwan no ntotosoɔ dudu nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔtɔ so edu a ɔfa odwanhwɛfoɔ nsam no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
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.’”
Aboa a ɔtɔ so edu a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnhwɛ sɛ ɔyɛ anaa ɔnyɛ, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼananmu, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔde biribiara si ananmu a, ne nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron, a obiara rentumi nnye bio.’”
34 These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
Yeinom ne mmara a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no.
