Leviticus 27
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ otua sika mmom a,
3 then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.
obetua dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfe aduonu kosi mfe aduosia,
4 And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;
sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a wadi mfe aduonu kosi aduosia a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ahaasa ne aduanan,
5 and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;
abarimaa a wadi mfe anum kosi aduonu no nso wobetua dwetɛ gram ahannu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
6 and if from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;
Abarimaa a wadi ɔsram kosi mfe anum no wobetua dwetɛ gram 60; na ɔbabea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
7 and if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your valuation has been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.
Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfe aduosia no wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduoson; na ɔbea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
8 And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.
Na sɛ obi yɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntua saa sika yi a, ɔde saa onipa no bɛba ɔsɔfo anim, na ɔsɔfo no akyerɛ no sika a obetumi atua.
9 And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is holy;
“‘Sɛ ɔde aboa hyɛ bɔ sɛ afɔrebɔde a ɛfata ma Awurade a, saa aboa no a ɔde ama Awurade no bɛyɛ kronkron.
10 he does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsesa saa aboa no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde nea eye sesa nea enye anaa sɛ ɔde nea enye sesa nea eye. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesae yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa abien no nyinaa ho tew.
11 And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,
Sɛ aboa a ɔde rema Awurade no ho ntew na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfo,
12 and the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so it is;
na wahwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ onni mu, na wakyerɛ sika dodow a ɛsɛ sɛ otua de si aboa no anan.
13 and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.
Sɛ aboa no yɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔre nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye nʼade a, obetua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka bo a ɔsɔfo no betwa ama no sɛ ontua no ho.
14 And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;
“‘Sɛ obi de ne fi ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsese ahu sɛ eye anaasɛ enye. Bo biara a ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua.
15 and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.
Sɛ nea ɔde ofi no mae no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a ɛsɛ sɛ otua ne bo no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho na ama ofi no asan abɛyɛ ne de.
16 And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
“‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔde nʼabusua asase fa bi bɔ afɔre ma Awurade a, wobegyina aba kɛntɛnma dodow a ebehia sɛ wobedua wɔ so no so atwa asase no bo; aba kɛntɛnma biara bo yɛ dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson.
17 if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;
Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuw kyɛ a, ne bo no rensesa.
18 and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.
Na sɛ ɔde asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ansa na Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a edi so no so asese ne bo no, na wobetumi atew so.
19 And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him;
Na sɛ ɔbarima no pɛ sɛ ogye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfo no bo a ɔbɛbɔ no, obetua ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na asase no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
20 and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;
Na sɛ nso ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ogye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforo a, ɛno de, wɔrentumi nnye bio.
21 and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.
Sɛ wɔdan asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde bɛto hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfo no agyapade.
22 And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,
“‘Sɛ obi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
23 then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;
ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ama wɔadi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne bo. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ka no da no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔde kronkron ma Awurade.
24 in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.
Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du so a, asase no bɛsan akɔ nea ɔtɔnee no anaasɛ nea na ɔyɛ asase no wura no nkyɛn.
25 And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.
Wɔbɛsese ho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbona a wogye wɔ hyiadan mu no ho, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
26 Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, efisɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwi anaa oguan no, yɛ Awurade de dedaw.
27 And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.
Sɛ ɔyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho ntew no bi a, onipa no betumi atua ne bo no, na ɔde ɛbo no ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio de a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛnea ne bo te.
28 Only, no devoted thing which a man devotes to YHWH of all that he has, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.
“‘Ade biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsan gye, efisɛ biribiara a ɛte saa no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
29 No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
“‘Onipa biara a Awurade ayi no ama ɔsɛe no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne ti ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
30 And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.
“‘Asase no so nnɔbae nkyɛmu du mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburow anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
31 And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔsan tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburow no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne bo nkyɛmu anum mu baako ka ho.
32 And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock—all that passes by under the rod—the tenth is holy to YHWH;
Anantwi ne nguan no ntotoso du du nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔto so du a ɔfa oguanhwɛfo nsam no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
33 he does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”
Aboa a ɔto so du a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnnhwɛ sɛ oye anaa onye, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼanan mu, efisɛ sɛ wɔde biribiara si anan mu a, ne nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron, a obiara rentumi nnye bio.’”
34 These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
Eyinom ne ahyɛde a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfo no.
