Leviticus 27
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na akasema,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and thou shall say unto them—When any man would consecrate and pay a vow by thine estimate of lives unto Yahweh,
“Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Iwapo mtu yeyote anatoa kiapo maalum cha kuwa mnathiri kwa Yahweh, tumieni tathmini zifuatazo:
3 then shall, thine estimate be for the male from twenty years of age even to sixty years of age, yea thine estimate shall be—fifty shekels of silver by 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 but if it be, a female, then shall thine estimate be thirty shekels.
Kwa mwanamke wa umri uleule viwango vyenu vya thamani yapasa viwe shekeli thelathini vya fedha.
5 And, if it be from five years of age even unto twenty years of age, then shall thine estimate be for the male, 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 it be from a month old even unto five years old, then shall thine estimate be—for the male, five shekels of silver, —and, for the female, thine estimate [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 it be from sixty years of age and upwards, if a male, then shall thine estimate 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 thine estimate, then shall he present himself before the priest, and the priest shall estimate him, —according to that which the hand of him who would vow can attain to, shall the priest estimate 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 be a beast whereof men may bring near an oblation unto Yahweh, all that whereof aught is given to Yahweh, 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—good for bad or bad for good, —but if he, do, change beast for beast, then shall, both it and what was given in exchange for it 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 whereof men may not bring near an oblation to Yahweh, 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 estimate it, whether it is good or bad, —according to thine estimate, O priest, 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 But if he should please to redeem, it, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto thine estimate.
Na kama mmiliki anapenda kumkomboa, kisha tano ya thamani yake itaongezwa kwenye gharama yake ya ukombozi.
14 And, when, any man, would hallow his house to be holy unto Yahweh, then shall the priest estimate it, whether it is good or bad, —as the priest shall estimate 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 But, if he that halloweth it, would redeem his house, then shall he add the fifth part of the silver of thine estimate thereunto and it shall be 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 of the field of his possession any man would hallow unto Yahweh, then shall thine estimate be according to the seed thereof, —the seed of a homer 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, from the year of jubilee, he would hallow his field, according to thine estimate, 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 would hallow his field, then shall the priest reckon to him the silver, according to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee, —and it shall be abated from thine estimate.
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 But, if he that hath hallowed it should be pleased to redeem, the field, then shall he add the fifth part of the silver of thine estimate thereunto 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, but have sold the field to another man, it shall be redeemable no longer;
Iwapo halikomboi shamba, au iwapo amishaliuza shamba kwa mtu mwingine, haliwezi kukombolewa tena.
21 so shall the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, be holy unto Yahweh as a devoted, field, —to the priest, shall belong the possession thereof.
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 If, however, a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, he would hallow unto Yahweh,
Iwapo mtu anatenga shamba alilolinunua, lakini hilo shamba siyo sehemu ya ardhi ya familia yake,
23 then shall the priest reckon to him the amount of thine estimate until the year of the jubilee, —and he shall give thine estimate, in that day, as holy unto Yahweh.
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, shall the field return unto him from whom he bought it to him whose it was as a possession in the land.
Katika mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarejeshwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilikuwa limenunuliwa, kwa mmiliki wa ardhi.
25 And, every estimate of thine, shall be by the holy shekel, —twenty gerahs, make the shekel.
Tathmani yote lazima ifanywe kwa uzani wa shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu. Gera ishirini kwa shekeli moja.
26 Only the firstling which is born a firstling to Yahweh, among beasts, no man shall hallow it, —whether ox or sheep, unto Yahweh, it belongeth.
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 But, if it be among the beasts that are unclean, then shall he ransom it by thine estimate, and add the fifth part of it thereunto, —but, if it is not redeemed, then shall it be sold by thine estimate.
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 Only no devoted thing which any man shall devote unto Yahweh, of all that belongeth to him, —of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be either sold or redeemed, —as to every devoted thing, most holy, it is unto Yahweh.
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 As touching any one devoted, who may be devoted from among men he shall not be ransomed, —he must be, surely put to death.
Hakuna fidia inayoweza kulipwa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyetolewa ili kuangamizwa. Mtu huyo sharti auawe
30 And, as for all the tithe of the land whether of the seed of the land, [or] of the fruit of the trees, unto Yahweh, it belongeth, —as something holy unto Yahweh.
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 But, if any man should be pleased, to redeem, aught of his tithes, the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto.
Iwapo mtu anakomboa chochote cha zaka yake, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani yake.
32 And, as for all the tithe of herd and flock, all that passeth under the rod, the tenth, shall be holy unto Yahweh.
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 examine whether it be good or bad neither shall he change it, —or, if he do in anywise change, it, then shall both, it and what is given in exchange for it, 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 Yahweh commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai.
Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Yahweh alimpa Musa kwenye mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli.
