Leviticus 27
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati munthu anachita lumbiro lapadera loti adzapereka munthu mnzake kwa Yehova ndipo akufuna kuti amuwombole,
3 If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
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.
4 If a woman, thirty.
Ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi atatu.
5 But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
Mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa zisanu ndi makumi awiri ukhale masekeli makumi awiri ndipo munthu wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
6 From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
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.
7 A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
Ngati ndi munthu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi kapena kuposerapo, mtengo wa wamwamuna ukhale masekeli khumi ndi asanu, ndipo wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
8 If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
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.
9 But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,
“‘Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro kuti apereke ndi nyama imene amapereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, zonse zimene amapereka kwa Yehova nʼzopatulika.
10 And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
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.
11 An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro ndi nyama yodetsedwa, nyama imene siloledwa kuyipereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, nyamayo abwere nayo kwa wansembe,
12 Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
ndipo wansembeyo atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake.
13 Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
Ngati mwini wakeyo akufuna kuwombola nyamayo, awonjezere pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zamtengowo.
14 If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
“‘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.
15 But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.
Ngati munthu amene wapereka nyumbayo afuna kuyiwombola nyumbayo, awonjezere pamtengo wake wa nyumbayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ndipo nyumbayo idzakhalanso yake.
16 And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.
“‘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.
17 If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
Ngati munthu apereka munda wake kuyambira chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mtengo wake ukhale umene unakhazikitsidwa.
18 But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
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.
19 And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
Ngati munthu amene wapereka munda afuna kuwuwombola, ayenera kuwonjezera pa mtengo wake wa mundawo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu a mtengowo. Ndipo mundawo udzakhalanso wake.
20 And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
Koma ngati sawuwombola mundawo, kapena ngati waugulitsa kwa munthu wina, mundawo sudzawomboledwanso.
21 For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
Mwini mundawo akawusiya mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu ndiye kuti mundawo udzakhala wopatulika monga woperekedwa kwa Yehova: udzakhala munda wa ansembe.
22 If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
“‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova munda umene anagula, umene si malo a makolo ake,
23 The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.
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.
24 But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
Pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mundawo udzabwezedwa kwa munthu amene anawugulitsayo, amene malowo anali ake.
25 All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
Potchula mtengo uliwonse wansembe awerengere molingana ndi mtengo wa sekeli wa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu: magera makumi awiri pa sekeli imodzi.
26 The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord’s.
“‘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.
27 And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
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.
28 Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
“‘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.
29 And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
“‘Munthu amene waperekedwa kotheratu sangawomboledwe. Munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa.
30 All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.
“‘Chakhumi chilichonse chochokera mʼdziko, kaya ndi tirigu wochokera mʼnthaka kapena chipatso cha mʼmitengo ndi za Yehova. Chimenecho ndi chopatulika kwa Yehova.
31 And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
Ngati munthu afuna kuwombola chakhumi chilichonse, awonjezere pamtengo wake chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu za mtengowo.
32 Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.
Chakhumi cha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, kapena kuti nyama iliyonse ya khumi imene mʼbusa wayiwerenga idzakhala yopatulikira kwa Yehova.
33 It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
Palibe amene adzaloledwa kusankha nyama yomwe ili yabwino kapena kusinthitsa. Ngati asinthitsa, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzakeyo zidzakhala zopatulika ndipo sangaziwombole.’”
34 These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
Amenewa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anamupatsa Mose pa Phiri la Sinai kuti awuze Aisraeli.
