Mose 3 27
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ame aɖe ɖe adzɔgbe tɔxɛ aɖe be yeatsɔ ame aɖewo ana Yehowa to ga home si dze be woaxe ɖe wo ta me la,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man who will have made a vow and espoused his soul to God shall give the price according to the estimation.
3 ekema ɖe ŋutsu si xɔ tso ƒe blaeve yi blaade nu la ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram afã ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu.
If it is a male from twenty years to sixty years, he shall give fifty shekels of silver, by the measure of the Sanctuary;
4 Nenye be nyɔnue la, ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram ƒe mama etɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka.
if it is a woman, thirty.
5 Ɖe ŋutsuvi si xɔ tso ƒe atɔ̃ va se ɖe blaeve nu la, ana klosalo kilogram ƒe mama atɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka, eye ɖe nyɔnuvi si xɔ tso ƒe atɔ̃ va se ɖe blaeve nu la, ana klosalo gram alafa ɖeka kple ewo.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a male shall give twenty shekels; a female, ten.
6 Woaxe gram blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ɖe ŋutsuvi si xɔ tso ɣleti ɖeka va se ɖe ƒe atɔ̃ la nu, eye woaxe klosalo gram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ɖe nyɔnuvi si xɔ tso ɣleti ɖeka va se ɖe ƒe atɔ̃ la nu.
From one month until the fifth year, for a male, five shekels shall be given; for a female, three.
7 Ŋutsu si xɔ wu ƒe blaade la axe klosalo gram blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃, eye nyɔnu si xɔ wu ƒe blaade la axe klosalo gram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃.
At sixty years and beyond, a male shall give fifteen shekels; a female, ten.
8 Ke ne ame si le adzɔgbe la ɖem da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu axe fe si wòle be wòaxe o la, woakplɔe va nunɔla la gbɔ, eya kple nunɔla la naɖo aɖaŋu, eye wòaxe nu si nunɔla la aɖo nɛ la.
If he is poor, and he does not have the means to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest, and however much he will value him and see that he is able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 “‘Ke ne nu si amea tsɔ ɖe adzɔgbee la nye lã si dzi woda asi ɖo be woatsɔ asa vɔe na Yehowa la, ne wotsɔ lã sia ɖe adzɔgbee la, ele kɔkɔe na Yehowa.
But an animal which could be immolated to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be holy,
10 Mele be adzɔgbeɖela la natrɔ eƒe ta me o; matrɔ ta me le etsɔtsɔ na Yehowa ŋu loo alo atsɔ nu nyui aɖo gbegblẽa teƒe alo atsɔ gbegblẽa aɖo nyuia teƒe o. Ne etrɔ ta me la, ekema lã si wòɖɔli kple esi wòtsɔ ɖɔlii siaa le kɔkɔe.
and it cannot be exchanged, that is, neither better for worse, nor worse for better. And if he has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 Ke ne lã si wòɖe adzɔgbe be yeatsɔ asa vɔe nye lã makɔmakɔ, lã si womaxɔ abe vɔsa na Yehowa ene o la, ele be wòatsɔ lã la ayi na nunɔla,
An unclean animal which could not be sacrificed to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be led before the priest,
12 ame si akpɔe ne lã la nyo alo menyo o. Ga home si ƒe asi nunɔla la ado ɖe lã la ŋu la, nenema ko wòanɔ.
who, judging whether it is either good or bad, shall set the price.
13 Ne lã la nye lã si woate ŋu atsɔ asa vɔe, gake amea di be yeaxe fe ɖe eteƒe la, ekema axe ga home si nunɔla la agblɔ nɛ kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpe ɖe eŋu.
But if he who offers it was willing to give, he shall add a fifth part above the estimation.
14 “‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe aƒe abe nu si ŋuti kɔ ene na Yehowa la, nunɔla la akpɔ aƒea ƒe nyonyo alo manyomanyo dzi ɖa. Ga home si ƒe asi nunɔla la ado ɖe aƒea ŋu la, nenema ko wòanɔ.
If a man has vowed his house, and he has sanctified it to the Lord, the priest shall examine it, whether it is good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price which he will have established.
15 Ne ame si tsɔ eƒe aƒe na agaxɔe la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ ga home la ƒe atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpe ɖe ga home la ŋu, eye aƒea agazu etɔ.
But if he who vowed it was willing to redeem it, he shall give a fifth part beyond the estimation, and he shall have the house.
16 “‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖe na Yehowa la, do asi ɖe eŋu ɖe eƒe lolome kple nuku agbɔsɔsɔ si woate ŋu aƒã ɖe edzi la nu. Anyigba si dzi woate ŋu aƒã lu kilogram blaeve ɖo la naxɔ klosaloga ewo.
But if he has vowed a field of his possession, and has consecrated it to the Lord, the price shall be estimated according to the measure of the seed. If the land would be sown with thirty measures of barley, then let it be sold for fifty shekels of silver.
17 Ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe anyigba na Yehowa le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema nutɔ la naxe ga home la katã.
If he has vowed his field beginning from the current year of Jubilee, as much as it may be worth, so shall it be estimated.
18 Ke ne etsɔe na le Aseyetsoƒe la megbe la, ekema ga home si wòaxe la aku ɖe ƒe siwo susɔ hafi Aseyetsoƒe bubu nagaɖo la ŋu.
But if, after some amount of time, the priest shall evaluate the money according to the number of years that remain until the Jubilee, then the price shall be reduced.
19 Ne amea di be yeagaxɔ anyigba la la, ekema ele nɛ be wòaxe ga home si nunɔla la ɖo nɛ kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka. Ekema anyigba la agazu etɔ.
But if he who had vowed it, was willing to redeem his field, he shall add a fifth part of the money to the estimation, and then he shall possess it.
20 “‘Ke ne eɖo be yemagbugbɔ anyigba la axɔ o, alo wòdzrae na ame bubu aɖe, eye wòna anyigba la zu Yehowa tɔ le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema magate ŋu axɔe o.
But if he is not willing to redeem it, then it shall be sold to any other; he who vowed it is no longer able to redeem it.
21 Ne woɖe asi le anyigba la ŋu le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ekema anyigba la azu Yehowa tɔ abe anyigba si wotsɔ nɛ ene. Woatsɔe na nunɔla la.
For when the day of Jubilee arrives, it shall be sanctified to the Lord. And as a possession that has been consecrated, it rightfully belongs to the priest.
22 “‘Ne ame aɖe tsɔ anyigba si eya ŋutɔ ƒle, eye menye eƒe ƒome ƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke o na Yehowa la,
If a field has been bought, and it is not from the possession of ancestors, it shall be sanctified to the Lord.
23 ekema nunɔla la agblɔ ga home si anyigba la axɔ va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe si gbɔna la nɛ. Amea axe ga home ma enumake na Yehowa.
The priest shall evaluate the price according to the number of years until the Jubilee; and the one who had vowed it shall give to the Lord.
24 Ekema le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, anyigba la agazu nutɔ gbãtɔ si si wòƒlee le la tɔ.
Then, in the Jubilee, it shall be returned to the former owner, the one who had sold it and who had held it within the lot of his possession.
25 Ga homeawo katã nanɔ Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe ga me: ga siwo katã woaxe la nanye esi dzi nunɔlawo ɖo kpee da ɖi.
All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
26 “‘Ame aɖeke matsɔ nyitsu alo agbo si ʋu dɔnu na dadaa la ana Yehowa o, elabena Yehowa tɔe wònye xoxo.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no one is able to sanctify or vow, whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they are for the Lord.
27 Ke ne enye ŋgɔgbevi na lã si ŋu se meɖe mɔ le be woatsɔ asa vɔe na Yehowa o la, ekema amea axe ga home si nunɔla ayɔ nɛ la kple ga home la ƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka. Ke ne amea medi be yeagbugbɔe axɔ o la, nunɔla la nadzrae na ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe.
But if it is an unclean animal, whoever offers it shall redeem it, according to your estimation, and he shall add a fifth part to the price. If he is not willing to redeem it, it shall be sold to another for whatever amount it was estimated by you.
28 Ke nu sia nu si woatsɔ ana Yehowa, eɖanye amegbetɔ o, lã o alo anyigba si ƒe dome ame aɖe menyi o la, womadzra wo o, eye womagbugbɔ wo axɔ hã o, elabena nu kɔkɔewo ƒe nu kɔkɔewo wonye na Yehowa.
All that is consecrated to the Lord, whether it is a man, or an animal, or a field, shall not be sold; neither is it able to be redeemed. Anything, once it has been consecrated, shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.
29 “‘Ne wodo busu ame aɖe la, womaxɔe kple ga o, ke boŋ woawui.
And all that has been consecrated, which is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but shall surely die.
30 “‘Nu siwo katã anyigba wɔ, agblemenukuwo loo alo kutsetsewo ƒe mama ewolia ƒe ɖeka nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wonye nu kɔkɔe.
All the tithes of the land, whether from the grain, or from the fruits of trees, are for the Lord and are sanctified to him.
31 Ne ame aɖe di be yeaxɔ yeƒe kutsetse la alo agblemenuku la aƒle la, ele be wòaxe ga home la kple eƒe mama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka.
But if anyone is willing to redeem his tithes, he shall add a fifth part to them.
32 Ne lãkplɔla aɖe le eƒe lãwo xlẽm ɖekeɖekae la, lã ewolia ɖe sia ɖe nye Yehowa tɔ, eɖanye nyi, alẽ alo aƒemelã bubu ɖe sia ɖe o.
Out of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, which cross under the rod of the shepherd, every tenth one that arrives shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33 Womatia lã ewolia si woatsɔ ana Yehowa la ɖe eƒe nyonyo alo manyomanyo ta o. Womatsɔ ɖeke aɖɔli bubu hã o. Ne woaɖɔli lã aɖe kokoko la, ekema esi woaɖɔli kple esi woatsɔ aɖɔlii la siaa nye Yehowa tɔ, eye womaxe fe ɖe wo ta o!’”
It shall not be chosen by what is good or bad; neither shall it be exchanged for another. If anyone has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged, shall be sanctified to the Lord and shall not be redeemed.
34 Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Mose le Sinai to la dzi na Israelviwo.
These are the precepts, which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on mount Sinai.
