Leviticus 27
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na akasema,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man make a particular vow, [to give] the estimated value of persons in honor of the Lord:
“Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Iwapo mtu yeyote anatoa kiapo maalum cha kuwa mnathiri kwa Yahweh, tumieni tathmini zifuatazo:
3 If the estimated value concern a male from twenty years old, and unto sixty years old, then shall the estimation be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwanaume aliye na umri kati ya miaka ishirini na miaka sitini yaweza kuwa shekeli hamsini za fedha, kulingana na vipimo vya shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu.
4 And if it be a female, then shall the estimation be thirty shekels.
Kwa mwanamke wa umri uleule viwango vyenu vya thamani yapasa viwe shekeli thelathini vya fedha.
5 And if [the person be] from five years old and unto twenty years old, then shall the estimation of the male be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Tangu wenye umri wa miaka mitano mpaka wa miaka ishirini viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwananume vitakuwa shekeli ishirini za fedha, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi za fedha,
6 And if [the person be] from a month old and unto five years old, then shall the estimation of the male be five shekels of silver, and for the female the estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.
Kwa wenye umri wa tangu mwezi mmoja mpaka miaka mitano viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mawanaume vitakuwa shekeli tano za fedha na kwa mwanamke shekeli tatu za fedha.
7 And if [the person be] from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, then shall the estimation be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Tangu wenye umri wa miaka sitini na zaidi kwa mwanaume viwango vyenu vya thamani vitakuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi.
8 But if he be too poor for this estimation, then shall he present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability to pay of him that hath vowed shall the priest value him.
Lakini kama mtu atoaye kiapo cha mnadhiri hawezi kulipa kiwango hicho cha thamani, kisha huyo mtu anayetolewa lazima atapelekwa kwa kuhani, naye kuhani atamthamanisha huyo atolewaye kwa kiasi anachoweza kutoa yule anayetoa kiapo cha mnadhiri.
9 And if it he a beast, whereof men can bring an offering unto the Lord, all that a man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.
Iwapo mtu anataka kutoa sadaka ya mnyama kwa Yahweh, na iwapo Yahweh ataikubali, kisha huyo mnyama atatengwa kwake.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad one, or a bad for a good one; and if he should change beast for beast, then shall it together with its exchange be holy.
Mtu huyo hataruhusiwa kumtoa madhabahuni au kumbadilisha huyo mnyama, mzuri kwa mbaya au mbaya kwa mzuri. endapo atatoa mnyama badala ya mwingine, kisha wanyama hao wawili; yule anayetolewa na yule anayebadilishwa wanakuwa watakatifu.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they cannot offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then shall he present the beast before the priest:
Hata hivyo, iwapo kile mtu amishaapa kumtolea Yahweh kwa uhalisia siyo kisafi, kwa hiyo, Yahweh hatakikubali, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kumleta huyo mnyama kwa kuhani.
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest valueth it, so shall it be.
Kuhani atamthamanisha, kwa thamani ya soko la mnyama. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoiweka juu ya mnyama, hiyo ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
13 And if he will redeem it, then shall he add a fifth part thereof unto the estimated value.
Na kama mmiliki anapenda kumkomboa, kisha tano ya thamani yake itaongezwa kwenye gharama yake ya ukombozi.
14 And if a man sanctify his house as holy unto the Lord, then shall the priest value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest may value it, so shall it stand.
Mtu aitengapo nyumba yake iwe zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kisha kuhani ataweka thamani yake ama iwe ni nzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote itakayowekwa na kuhani juu yake, ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall remain his.
Lakini kama mmiliki wake anayeitenga nyumba yake anapenda kuikomboa, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake kwenye gharama ya ukombozi wake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake.
16 And if a man sanctify some part of a field of his possession unto the Lord, then shall the estimation be in proportion to its required seed: the seed of a chomer of barley at fifty shekels of silver.
Iwapo mtu anatenga sehemu ya ardhi yake mwenye, kisha tathmini yake itakuwa katika uwiano kwa kiwango cha kiasi cha mbegu inayotakiwa kuipanda katika ardhi hiyo—homeri moja ya mbegu za shairi ambayo itathamanishwa kwa shekeli hamsini za fedha.
17 If immediately after the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to this estimation shall it stand.
Na kama analitenga shamba lake katika mwaka wa Yubile, tathmini yake ya awali itabaki kuwa ileile.
18 But if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then shall the priest reckon unto him the money in proportion to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be deducted from the estimation.
Lakini endapo atalitenga shamba hilo baada ya mwaka wa Yubile, kisha kuhani atalazimika kukokotoa thamani yake kwa idadi ya miaka inayobaki mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na thamani yake lazima ishushwe.
19 And if he that sanctified the field will redeem it, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
Iwapo mtu anayelitenga shamba lake anapenda kuliko, mboa, naye atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani, nalo shamba litakuwa lake tena.
20 But if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
Iwapo halikomboi shamba, au iwapo amishaliuza shamba kwa mtu mwingine, haliwezi kukombolewa tena.
21 But the field, when it is freed in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a devoted field: to the priest shall it belong as his possession.
Badala yake, shamba hilo litakapoachwa huru katika mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kama lilivyo shamba lililotolewa kabisa kwa Yahweh. Nalo litakuwa mali ya kuhani.
22 And if a man sanctify a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, unto the Lord:
Iwapo mtu anatenga shamba alilolinunua, lakini hilo shamba siyo sehemu ya ardhi ya familia yake,
23 Then shall the priest reckon unto him the amount of the estimated value to the year of the jubilee; and he shall give this estimation on that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.
kuhani atafanya tathmini yake mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na mtu huyo lazima atalipa thamani yake katika siku hiyo hiyo kuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh.
24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom he bought it, to the one to whom belongeth the possession of the land.
Katika mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarejeshwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilikuwa limenunuliwa, kwa mmiliki wa ardhi.
25 And all estimations of value shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
Tathmani yote lazima ifanywe kwa uzani wa shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu. Gera ishirini kwa shekeli moja.
26 Only the first-born which shall, by being first born, be sacred unto the Lord among cattle, no man shall sanctify; whether it be ox, or lamb, it is the Lord's.
Asiwepo mtu atakayetenga mzaliwa wa kwanza miongoni mwa wanyama, kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wanyama tayari ni mali ya Yahweh; iwe ni maksai au kondoo, ni wa Yahweh.
27 And if it be an unclean animal, then shall he redeem it according to the estimated value, and he shall add its fifth part thereto; and if it be not redeemed, then shall it be sold according to the estimated value.
Na kama ni mnyama aliye najisi, kisha mmiliki wake anaweza kumnunua tena sawasawa na thamani yake, na sehemu ya tano lazima itaongezwa kwenye thamani hiyo. Na kama mnyama hakombolewi, naye atauzwa kwa thamani iliyowekwa.
28 But any devoted thing, which a man may devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall not be sold nor redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.
Hakutakuwa na kitu amabacho mtu anakitoa kwa Yahweh, kutoka katika vyote alivyonavyo, iwe ni mwanadamu au mnyama, au ardhi ya familia yake, ambacho chaweza kuuzwa au kukombolewa. Kila kitu kitolewacho ni kitakatifu sana kwa Yahweh.
29 Any one condemned, who shall be condemned to death among men, shall not be redeemed: he shall be put to death.
Hakuna fidia inayoweza kulipwa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyetolewa ili kuangamizwa. Mtu huyo sharti auawe
30 And every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, belongeth to the Lord; it is holy unto the Lord.
Zaka yote iliyo ya ardhini, iwe nafaka ichipukayo juu ya ardhi au tunda kutoka kwenye miti, ni mali ya Yahweh. Ni takatifu kwa Yahweh.
31 And if a man will redeem any part of his tithe, its fifth part shall he add thereto.
Iwapo mtu anakomboa chochote cha zaka yake, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani yake.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herds, or of the flocks, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.
Na kwa kila mnyama wa kumi wa kundi la ng'ombe au la kondoo, yeyote anayepita chini ya fimbo ya mchungaji, atatengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he should change it, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Mchungaji hatatafuta wanyma waliobora au wabaya kabisa, na haruhusiwi kubadili mnyama mmoja kwa mnyama mwingine. Iwapo anambadilisha kwa namna yoyote ile, kisha wote wawili yule wa kwanza na huyo aliyebadiliwa watakuwa watakatifu. Mnyama huyo atolewaye hawezi kukombolewa.'”
34 These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children on mount Sinai.
Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Yahweh alimpa Musa kwenye mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli.
