Leviticus 27
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by thy estimation.
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Umuntu, nxa esenza isithembiso esikhethekileyo, njengesilinganiso sakho imiphefumulo izakuba ngeyeNkosi.
3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Khona isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngesowesilisa, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele.
4 And if it [be] a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
Kodwa uba kungowesifazana, isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngamashekeli angamatshumi amathathu.
5 And if [it be] from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Njalo nxa kusukela koleminyaka emihlanu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili, isilinganiso sakho sowesilisa sizakuba ngamashekeli angamatshumi amabili, lakowesifazana amashekeli alitshumi.
6 And if [it be] from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.
Njalo nxa kusukela kolenyanga kusiya koleminyaka emihlanu, isilinganiso sakho sowesilisa sizakuba ngamashekeli amahlanu esiliva, njalo kowesifazana isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngamashekeli amathathu esiliva.
7 And if [it be] from sixty years old and above; if [it be] a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Uba-ke kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha langaphezulu, uba kungowesilisa, isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngamashekeli alitshumi lanhlanu, lakowesifazana amashekeli alitshumi.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
Kodwa uba engumyanga kulesilinganiso sakho, uzazimisa phambi kompristi ukuze umpristi amlinganise; njengalokho isandla sowathembisayo singafinyelela kukho umpristi uzamlinganisa.
9 And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
Njalo uba kuyinyamazana abanikela okwayo umnikelo eNkosini, konke okwayo anikela ngakho eNkosini kuzakuba ngcwele.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
Kayikuyintshintsha, futhi angenaniseli ngayo, enhle ngembi loba embi ngenhle. Uba-ke usenanisa lokwenanisa inyamazana ngenyamazana, lokhu lalokhukwenaniselana kuzakuba ngcwele.
11 And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
Njalo uba kuyinyamazana loba yiyiphi engcolileyo abanganikeli okwayo ngayo umnikelo eNkosini, uzayimisa inyamazana phambi kompristi,
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.
umpristi ayilinganise-ke, ukuthi inhle loba imbi; njengesilinganiso sakho, mpristi, izakuba njalo.
13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth [part] thereof unto thy estimation.
Kodwa uba eyihlenga lokuyihlenga, uzakwengezelela ingxenye yesihlanu yayo phezu kwesilinganiso sakho.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
Umuntu, nxa engcwelisa-ke indlu yakhe, ukuthi ibe ngcwele eNkosini, umpristi uzayilinganisa, ukuthi inhle loba imbi; njengalokho umpristi ezayilinganisa izakuma njalo.
15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
Uba-ke oyingcwelisileyo ezayihlenga indlu yakhe, uzakwengezelela ingxenye yesihlanu yemali yesilinganiso sakho phezu kwayo, njalo izakuba ngeyakhe.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.
Uba-ke umuntu ezangcwelisela iNkosi okwensimu yelifa lakhe, isilinganiso sakho sizakuba njengokwenhlanyelo yayo. Ihomeri lenhlanyelo yebhali libe ngamashekeli esiliva engamatshumi amahlanu.
17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
Uba engcwelisa insimu yakhe kusukela emnyakeni wejubili, njengesilinganiso sakho izakuma.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
Kodwa uba wangcwelisa insimu yakhe emva kwejubili, umpristi uzambalela imali ngokweminyaka eseleyo kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili, njalo kuzaphungulwa esilinganisweni sakho.
19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
Uba-ke owayingcwelisayo eyihlenga lokuyihlenga insimu, uzakwengezelela ingxenye yesihlanu yemali yesilinganiso sakho phezu kwayo, njalo iqiniswe kuye.
20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
Kodwa uba engayihlengi insimu, loba uba eseyithengisile insimu komunye umuntu, kayisayikuhlengwa.
21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.
Kodwa insimu ekuphumeni kwayo ngejubili izakuba ngcwele eNkosini, njengensimu eyehlukanisiweyo; ilifa layo libe ngelompristi.
22 And if [a man] sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;
Uba-ke eyingcwelisela iNkosi insimu ayithengileyo, engayisiyo insimu yelifa lakhe,
23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD.
umpristi uzambalela-ke inani lesilinganiso sakho, kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili, abesenika isilinganiso sakho ngalolosuku, into engcwele eNkosini.
24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, [even] to him to whom the possession of the land [did belong].
Ngomnyaka wejubili insimu izabuyela kulowo eyathengwa kuye, kulowo ilifa lensimu ebelingelakhe.
25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
Njalo sonke isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele; amagera angamatshumi amabili azakuba lishekeli.
26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’s firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD’s.
Kodwa izibulo, elizelwe njengengqabutho eNkosini elenyamazana, kakho ozalingcwelisa; loba inkabi loba imvu, ngeleNkosi.
27 And if [it be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem [it] according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth [part] of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
Kodwa uba lingelenyamazana engcolileyo, uzalihlenga ngokwesilinganiso sakho, engezelele phezu kwalo ingxenye yesihlanu yalo; kodwa uba lingahlengwanga, lizathengiswa ngokwesilinganiso sakho.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy unto the LORD.
Kodwa kakukho into eyehlukanisiweyo, umuntu ayehlukanisele iNkosi, kukho konke alakho, okuvela emuntwini, loba enyamazaneni, loba okuvela ensimini yelifa lakhe, kakuyikuthengiswa, futhi kakuyikuhlengwa; konke okwehlukanisiweyo kuyingcwelengcwele eNkosini.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall surely be put to death.
Yonke into eqalekisiweyo, eqalekiswe ebantwini, kayiyikuhlengwa; izabulawa lokubulawa.
30 And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] the LORD’s: [it is] holy unto the LORD.
Lakho konke okwetshumi kwelizwe, okwenhlanyelo yelizwe, okwesithelo sezihlahla, kungokweNkosi; kungcwele eNkosini.
31 And if a man will at all redeem [ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth [part] thereof.
Uba umuntu ehlenga lokuhlenga kokwetshumi kwakhe, uzakwengezelela kukho ingxenye yesihlanu yakho.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Mayelana lakho konke okwetshumi kwezinkomo leyezimvu, konke okwedlula ngaphansi kwentonga, okwetshumi kuzakuba ngcwele eNkosini.
33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Kayikuhlola phakathi kokuhle lokubi, futhi kayikuntshintsha. Njalo uba ekuntshintsha lokukuntshintsha, ngakho khona lokuntshintshana lakho kuzakuba ngcwele, kakuyikuhlengwa.
34 These [are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
Leyo yimilayo iNkosi eyayilaya uMozisi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli entabeni yeSinayi.
