Leviticus 27
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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 Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔtua 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;
ɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi mfeɛ aduosia,
4 but if it be, a female, then shall thine estimate be thirty shekels.
sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi aduosia a, wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahasa 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 mfeɛ enum kɔsi aduonu no nso wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a, wɔbɛtua 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 bosome kɔsi mfeɛ enum no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram 60; na abaayewa 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 mfeɛ aduosia no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduɔson; na ɔbaa 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 ɔsɔfoɔ anim, na ɔsɔfoɔ no akyerɛ no sika a ɔbɛtumi 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 afɔrebɔdeɛ 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 deɛ ɛyɛ sesa deɛ ɛnyɛ anaa sɛ ɔde deɛ ɛnyɛ sesa deɛ ɛyɛ. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesayɛ yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa mmienu no nyinaa ho te.
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 nte na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ.
12 and the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad, —according to thine estimate, O priest, so, shall it be.
Ɔno na ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ ɔnte saa, na wakyerɛ sika dodoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua 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 deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔdeɛ nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsane gye nʼadeɛ a, ɔbɛtua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ɛboɔ a ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛtwa ama no sɛ ɔntua 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 fie ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsane gye a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛsese ne boɔ a ɔnte so,
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.
na saa onipa no atua, asane atua ɛbo korɔ no ara ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na efie no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
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 afɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, wɔbɛgyina aba kɛntɛnma dodoɔ a ɛbɛhia sɛ wɔbɛdua wɔ so no so atwa asase no boɔ; aba kɛntɛnma biara boɔ yɛ dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson.
17 If, from the year of jubilee, he would hallow his field, according to thine estimate, shall it stand.
Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuo kyɛ a, ne boɔ 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 Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ansa na Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a ɛdi so no so asese ne boɔ, na wɔbɛtumi ate 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 ɔgye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfoɔ no boɔ a ɔbɛbɔ no, ɔbɛtua 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 ɔgye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforɔ a, ɛnneɛ 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 wɔdane asase no ma wɔ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde ato hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no agyapadeɛ.
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 bi 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.
ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ama wɔadi Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne boɔ. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ɛboɔ no ɛda no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ 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.
Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no duru so a, asase no bɛsane akɔ deɛ ɔtɔneɛ no nkyɛn anaasɛ deɛ na ɔyɛ asase no wura no.
25 And, every estimate of thine, shall be by the holy shekel, —twenty gerahs, make the shekel.
Wɔbɛsese ɛho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbena a wɔgye wɔ hyiadan mu, 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, ɛfiri sɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwie anaa odwan no, yɛ Awurade dea dada.
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 nteɛ no bi a, onipa no bɛtumi atua ne boɔ no, na ɔde ɛboɔ no mu nkyɛmu enum mu baako aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio deɛ a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛdeɛ ne boɔ teɛ.
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.
“‘Adeɛ biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsane gye, ɛfiri sɛ, 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 asi nkyɛn ama ɔsɛeɛ no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne tiri ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum 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 nnɔbaeɛ nkyɛmu edu mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburoo 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 ɔsane tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburoo no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne boɔ nkyɛmu enum 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.
Anantwie ne nnwan no ntotosoɔ dudu nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔtɔ so edu a ɔfa odwanhwɛfoɔ 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 ɔtɔ so edu a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnhwɛ sɛ ɔyɛ anaa ɔnyɛ, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼananmu, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔde biribiara si ananmu 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.
Yeinom ne mmara a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no.
