Leviticus 27
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Yahweh in a vow, according to your valuation,
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati munthu anachita lumbiro lapadera loti adzapereka munthu mnzake kwa Yehova ndipo akufuna kuti amuwombole,
3 your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
mtengo wake ukhale masekeli a siliva makumi asanu, molingana ndi kawerengedwe ka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, ngati munthuyo ndi wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa 20 ndi 60.
4 If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
Ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi atatu.
5 If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa zisanu ndi makumi awiri ukhale masekeli makumi awiri ndipo munthu wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
6 If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
Ngati ndi munthu wamwamuna wa pakati pa mwezi umodzi ndi zaka zisanu, mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna ukhale masekeli asanu a siliva ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, ukhale masekeli atatu a siliva.
7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Ngati ndi munthu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi kapena kuposerapo, mtengo wa wamwamuna ukhale masekeli khumi ndi asanu, ndipo wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi.
8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.
Ngati munthu amene anachita lumbiro ndi wosauka kwambiri kuti sangathe kulipira ndalama zimenezo, abwere ndi munthu woperekedwa uja kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo ayike mtengo woti munthu wolumbirayo angathe kulipira.
9 “‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
“‘Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro kuti apereke ndi nyama imene amapereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, zonse zimene amapereka kwa Yehova nʼzopatulika.
10 He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
Munthu asasinthanitse ndi ina kapena kupereka ina yabwino mʼmalo mwa yoyipa, kapena yoyipa mʼmalo mwa yabwino. Ngati asinthitsa nyama ina mʼmalo mwa ina, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzake wasinthitsayo zikhala zopatulika.
11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro ndi nyama yodetsedwa, nyama imene siloledwa kuyipereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, nyamayo abwere nayo kwa wansembe,
12 and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.
ndipo wansembeyo atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake.
13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
Ngati mwini wakeyo akufuna kuwombola nyamayo, awonjezere pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zamtengowo.
14 “‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.
“‘Ngati munthu apereka nyumba yake kuti ikhale yopatulika kwa Yehova, wansembe atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake.
15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
Ngati munthu amene wapereka nyumbayo afuna kuyiwombola nyumbayo, awonjezere pamtengo wake wa nyumbayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ndipo nyumbayo idzakhalanso yake.
16 “‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
“‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova mbali ina ya malo a makolo ake, mtengo umene awuyike ukhale wolingana ndi mtengo wa mbewu zimene zimadzabzalidwamo. Zikhale mbewu za barele za makilogalamu makumi awiri ndipo mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi asanu.
17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
Ngati munthu apereka munda wake kuyambira chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mtengo wake ukhale umene unakhazikitsidwa.
18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
Koma ngati apereka mundawo chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu chitapita, wansembe adzatchula mtengo molingana ndi zaka zomwe zatsala kuti chifike chaka china chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo mtengo wake udzakhala wotsikirapo.
19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
Ngati munthu amene wapereka munda afuna kuwuwombola, ayenera kuwonjezera pa mtengo wake wa mundawo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu a mtengowo. Ndipo mundawo udzakhalanso wake.
20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
Koma ngati sawuwombola mundawo, kapena ngati waugulitsa kwa munthu wina, mundawo sudzawomboledwanso.
21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
Mwini mundawo akawusiya mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu ndiye kuti mundawo udzakhala wopatulika monga woperekedwa kwa Yehova: udzakhala munda wa ansembe.
22 “‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
“‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova munda umene anagula, umene si malo a makolo ake,
23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
wansembe atchule mtengo wake kufikira pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo munthuyo apereke ndalama zokwanira mtengo wake pa tsikulo monga ndalama zopatulika kwa Yehova.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
Pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mundawo udzabwezedwa kwa munthu amene anawugulitsayo, amene malowo anali ake.
25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
Potchula mtengo uliwonse wansembe awerengere molingana ndi mtengo wa sekeli wa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu: magera makumi awiri pa sekeli imodzi.
26 “‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.
“‘Koma pasapezeke munthu wopereka mwana woyamba kubadwa wa nyama, popeza mwana woyamba kubadwa ali kale wa Yehova, kaya ndi ngʼombe kapena nkhosa, zimenezi ndi za Yehova.
27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
Ngati ili nyama yodetsedwa, ayiwombole pa mtengo umene wansembe wawuyika, ndi kuwonjezeranso pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ngati sayiwombola, igulitsidwe pa mtengo umene wansembe awuyike.
28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.
“‘Koma chinthu chilichonse choperekedwa kwa Yehova, kaya ndi munthu, nyama, kaya ndi malo a makolo, chimenechi chisagulitsidwe kapena kuwomboledwa. Choperekedwa kwa Yehova motere nʼchopatulika kwambiri.
29 “‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
“‘Munthu amene waperekedwa kotheratu sangawomboledwe. Munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa.
30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.
“‘Chakhumi chilichonse chochokera mʼdziko, kaya ndi tirigu wochokera mʼnthaka kapena chipatso cha mʼmitengo ndi za Yehova. Chimenecho ndi chopatulika kwa Yehova.
31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
Ngati munthu afuna kuwombola chakhumi chilichonse, awonjezere pamtengo wake chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu za mtengowo.
32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
Chakhumi cha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, kapena kuti nyama iliyonse ya khumi imene mʼbusa wayiwerenga idzakhala yopatulikira kwa Yehova.
33 He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
Palibe amene adzaloledwa kusankha nyama yomwe ili yabwino kapena kusinthitsa. Ngati asinthitsa, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzakeyo zidzakhala zopatulika ndipo sangaziwombole.’”
34 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Amenewa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anamupatsa Mose pa Phiri la Sinai kuti awuze Aisraeli.
