Leviticus 27
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
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,
“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 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;
obetua dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfe aduonu kosi mfe aduosia,
4 but if it be, a female, then shall thine estimate be thirty shekels.
sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a wadi mfe aduonu kosi aduosia a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ahaasa ne aduanan,
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.
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 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.
Abarimaa a wadi ɔsram kosi mfe anum no wobetua dwetɛ gram 60; na ɔbabea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
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.
Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfe aduosia no wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduoson; na ɔbea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
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.
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 be a beast whereof men may bring near an oblation unto Yahweh, all that whereof aught is given to Yahweh, shall be 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 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.
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 be any unclean beast whereof men may not bring near an oblation to Yahweh, then shall he present 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 shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad, —according to thine estimate, O priest, so, shall it be.
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 But if he should please to redeem, it, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto thine estimate.
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, 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.
“‘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 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.
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 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.
“‘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, from the year of jubilee, he would hallow his field, according to thine estimate, shall it stand.
Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuw kyɛ a, ne bo no rensesa.
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.
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 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.
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 But if he will not redeem the field, but have sold the field to another man, it shall be redeemable no longer;
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 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.
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 If, however, a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, he would hallow unto Yahweh,
“‘Sɛ obi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
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.
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, shall the field return unto him from whom he bought it to him whose it was as a possession in 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, every estimate of thine, shall be by the holy shekel, —twenty gerahs, make the shekel.
Wɔbɛsese ho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbona a wogye wɔ hyiadan mu no ho, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
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.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, efisɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwi anaa oguan no, yɛ Awurade de dedaw.
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.
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 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.
“‘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 As touching any one devoted, who may be devoted from among men he shall not be ransomed, —he must be, 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, 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.
“‘Asase no so nnɔbae nkyɛmu du mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburow anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
31 But, if any man should be pleased, to redeem, aught of his tithes, the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto.
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, as for all the tithe of herd and flock, all that passeth under the rod, the tenth, shall be holy unto Yahweh.
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 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.
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 commandments which Yahweh 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.
