Leviticus 27
1 The Lord told Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Tell the Israelites: When you make a special promise to dedicate someone to the Lord, these are the values you are to use.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ame aɖe ɖe adzɔgbe tɔxɛ aɖe be yeatsɔ ame aɖewo ana Yehowa to ga home si dze be woaxe ɖe wo ta me la,
3 The value of a man aged twenty to sixty is fifty shekels of silver, (using the sanctuary shekel standard).
ekema ɖe ŋutsu si xɔ tso ƒe blaeve yi blaade nu la ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram afã ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu.
4 The value of a woman is thirty shekels.
Nenye be nyɔnue la, ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram ƒe mama etɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka.
5 The value of someone aged five to twenty is twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
Ɖe ŋutsuvi si xɔ tso ƒe atɔ̃ va se ɖe blaeve nu la, ana klosalo kilogram ƒe mama atɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka, eye ɖe nyɔnuvi si xɔ tso ƒe atɔ̃ va se ɖe blaeve nu la, ana klosalo gram alafa ɖeka kple ewo.
6 The value of someone aged one month to five years is five shekels of silver for a male and three shekels of silver for a female.
Woaxe gram blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ɖe ŋutsuvi si xɔ tso ɣleti ɖeka va se ɖe ƒe atɔ̃ la nu, eye woaxe klosalo gram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ɖe nyɔnuvi si xɔ tso ɣleti ɖeka va se ɖe ƒe atɔ̃ la nu.
7 The value of someone aged sixty or older is fifteen shekels for a male and ten shekels of silver for a female.
Ŋutsu si xɔ wu ƒe blaade la axe klosalo gram blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃, eye nyɔnu si xɔ wu ƒe blaade la axe klosalo gram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃.
8 However, if when you fulfill your promise you are poorer than the fixed value, you are to present the person before the priest, who will then set the value depending on what you can afford.
Ke ne ame si le adzɔgbe la ɖem da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu axe fe si wòle be wòaxe o la, woakplɔe va nunɔla la gbɔ, eya kple nunɔla la naɖo aɖaŋu, eye wòaxe nu si nunɔla la aɖo nɛ la.
9 If when you fulfill your promise you bring an animal that is permitted as an offering to the Lord, the animal given to the Lord shall be considered holy.
“‘Ke ne nu si amea tsɔ ɖe adzɔgbee la nye lã si dzi woda asi ɖo be woatsɔ asa vɔe na Yehowa la, ne wotsɔ lã sia ɖe adzɔgbee la, ele kɔkɔe na Yehowa.
10 You are not allowed to replace it or swap it, either for one that is better or one that is worse. However, if you do replace it then both animals become holy.
Mele be adzɔgbeɖela la natrɔ eƒe ta me o; matrɔ ta me le etsɔtsɔ na Yehowa ŋu loo alo atsɔ nu nyui aɖo gbegblẽa teƒe alo atsɔ gbegblẽa aɖo nyuia teƒe o. Ne etrɔ ta me la, ekema lã si wòɖɔli kple esi wòtsɔ ɖɔlii siaa le kɔkɔe.
11 If when you fulfill your promise you bring any unclean animal that is not permitted as an offering to the Lord, then you must show the animal to the priest.
Ke ne lã si wòɖe adzɔgbe be yeatsɔ asa vɔe nye lã makɔmakɔ, lã si womaxɔ abe vɔsa na Yehowa ene o la, ele be wòatsɔ lã la ayi na nunɔla,
12 The priest will decide its value, whether high or low. Whatever value the priest places on it is final.
ame si akpɔe ne lã la nyo alo menyo o. Ga home si ƒe asi nunɔla la ado ɖe lã la ŋu la, nenema ko wòanɔ.
13 If you then decide to buy the animal back, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment.
Ne lã la nye lã si woate ŋu atsɔ asa vɔe, gake amea di be yeaxe fe ɖe eteƒe la, ekema axe ga home si nunɔla la agblɔ nɛ kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpe ɖe eŋu.
14 If you dedicate your house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will decide its value, whether high or low. Whatever value the priest places on it remains final.
“‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe aƒe abe nu si ŋuti kɔ ene na Yehowa la, nunɔla la akpɔ aƒea ƒe nyonyo alo manyomanyo dzi ɖa. Ga home si ƒe asi nunɔla la ado ɖe aƒea ŋu la, nenema ko wòanɔ.
15 But if you want to buy back your house, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment. Then it will belong to you again.
Ne ame si tsɔ eƒe aƒe na agaxɔe la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ ga home la ƒe atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpe ɖe ga home la ŋu, eye aƒea agazu etɔ.
16 If you dedicate some of your land to the Lord, then its value shall be determined by the amount of seed required to sow it: fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed used.
“‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖe na Yehowa la, do asi ɖe eŋu ɖe eƒe lolome kple nuku agbɔsɔsɔ si woate ŋu aƒã ɖe edzi la nu. Anyigba si dzi woate ŋu aƒã lu kilogram blaeve ɖo la naxɔ klosaloga ewo.
17 If you dedicate your field during the Jubilee Year, the value will be the full amount calculated.
Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe anyigba na Yehowa le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema nutɔ la naxe ga home la katã.
18 But if you dedicate your field after the Jubilee, the priest will work out the value depending on the number of years left until the next Jubilee Year, so reducing the value.
Ke ne etsɔe na le Aseyetsoƒe la megbe la, ekema ga home si wòaxe la aku ɖe ƒe siwo susɔ hafi Aseyetsoƒe bubu nagaɖo la ŋu.
19 But if you want to buy your field back, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment. Then it will belong to you again.
Ne amea di be yeagaxɔ anyigba la la, ekema ele nɛ be wòaxe ga home si nunɔla la ɖo nɛ kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka. Ekema anyigba la agazu etɔ.
20 But if you don't buy the field back, or if you've already sold it to someone else, it can't ever be bought back.
“‘Ke ne eɖo be yemagbugbɔ anyigba la axɔ o, alo wòdzrae na ame bubu aɖe, eye wòna anyigba la zu Yehowa tɔ le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema magate ŋu axɔe o.
21 When the Jubilee comes, the field will become holy, in the same way as a field devoted to the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.
Ne woɖe asi le anyigba la ŋu le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema anyigba la azu Yehowa tɔ abe anyigba si wotsɔ nɛ ene. Woatsɔe na nunɔla la.
22 If you dedicate to the Lord a field you've bought that was not part of your original property,
“‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ anyigba si eya ŋutɔ ƒle, eye menye eƒe ƒome ƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke o na Yehowa la,
23 the priest will work out the value until the next Jubilee Year. You will pay on that day the exact value, giving it as a holy offering to the Lord.
ekema nunɔla la agblɔ ga home si anyigba la axɔ va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe si gbɔna la nɛ. Amea axe ga home ma enumake na Yehowa.
24 In the Jubilee Year, ownership the field shall revert back to the person you bought it from—to the original owner of the land.
Ekema le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, anyigba la agazu nutɔ gbãtɔ si si wòƒlee le la tɔ.
25 (All values will use the sanctuary shekel standard of twenty gerahs to the shekel.)
Ga homeawo katã nanɔ Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe ga me: ga siwo katã woaxe la nanye esi dzi nunɔlawo ɖo kpee da ɖi.
26 No one is allowed to dedicate the firstborn of the livestock, because the firstborn belong to the Lord. Whether they are cattle, sheep, or goats, they are the Lord's.
“‘Ame aɖeke matsɔ nyitsu alo agbo si ʋu dɔnu na dadaa la ana Yehowa o, elabena Yehowa tɔe wònye xoxo.
27 But if it is an unclean animal, then you can buy it back according to its value, adding on one fifth extra. If it's not bought back, then it is to be sold according to its value.
Ke ne enye ŋgɔgbevi na lã si ŋu se meɖe mɔ le be woatsɔ asa vɔe na Yehowa o la, ekema amea axe ga home si nunɔla ayɔ nɛ la kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka. Ke ne amea medi be yeagbugbɔe axɔ o la, nunɔla la nadzrae na ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe.
28 Anything that you specially dedicate to the Lord from what you own, whether it's a person, an animal, or your land, can't be sold or bought back. Anything specially dedicated if most holy to the Lord.
Ke nu sia nu si woatsɔ ana Yehowa, eɖanye amegbetɔ o, lã o alo anyigba si ƒe dome ame aɖe menyi o la, womadzra wo o, eye womagbugbɔ wo axɔ hã o, elabena nu kɔkɔewo ƒe nu kɔkɔewo wonye na Yehowa.
29 No one who is specially dedicated to destruction can be bought back. They must be killed.
“‘Ne wodo busu ame aɖe la, womaxɔe kple ga o, ke boŋ woawui.
30 Tithe from your crops or fruit belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
“‘Nu siwo katã anyigba wɔ, agblemenukuwo loo alo kutsetsewo ƒe mama ewolia ƒe ɖeka nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wonye nu kɔkɔe.
31 If you want to buy back some of your tithe, you must add on one fifth to its value.
Ne ame aɖe di be yeaxɔ yeƒe kutsetse la alo agblemenuku la aƒle la, ele be wòaxe ga home la kple eƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka.
32 When you count your herds and flocks, every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod is holy to the Lord.
Ne lãkplɔla aɖe le eƒe lãwo xlẽm ɖekeɖekae la, lã ewolia ɖe sia ɖe nye Yehowa tɔ, eɖanye nyi, alẽ alo aƒemelã bubu ɖe sia ɖe o.
33 You must not examine it to see if it's good or bad, and you must not replace it. However, if you do replace it then both animals become holy; they can't be bought back.”
Womatia lã ewolia si woatsɔ ana Yehowa la ɖe eƒe nyonyo alo manyomanyo ta o. Womatsɔ ɖeke aɖɔli bubu hã o. Ne woaɖɔli lã aɖe kokoko la, ekema esi woaɖɔli kple esi woatsɔ aɖɔlii la siaa nye Yehowa tɔ, eye womaxe fe ɖe wo ta o!’”
34 These are the laws the Lord gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Mose le Sinai to la dzi na Israelviwo.
