Mose 3 27
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 people of Israel and say to them, 'If anyone makes a special vow to Yahweh, use the following valuations.
3 ekema ɖe ŋutsu si xɔ tso ƒe blaeve yi blaade nu la ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram afã ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu.
Your standard value for a male from twenty to sixty years old must be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 Nenye be nyɔnue la, ana klosalo kpekpeme kilogram ƒe mama etɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka.
For a female of the same ages your standard value must be thirty shekels.
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.
From five years to twenty years old your standard value for a male must be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
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 old to five years your standard value for a male must be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels of silver.
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.
From sixty years old and up for a male your standard value must be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
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.
But if the person making the vow cannot pay the standard value, then the person being given must be presented to the priest, and the priest will value that person by the amount the one making the vow is able to afford.
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.
If someone wants to sacrifice an animal to Yahweh, and if Yahweh accepts it, then that animal will be set apart to him.
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.
The person must not alter or change such an animal, a good one for a bad one or a bad for a good. If he does at all change one animal for another, then both it and the one for which it is exchanged become holy.
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,
However, if what the person has vowed to give Yahweh is in fact unclean, so that Yahweh will not accept it, then the person must bring the animal to a 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.
The priest will value it, by the market value of the animal. Whatever value the priest places on the animal, that will be its value.
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.
If the owner wishes to redeem it, then a fifth of its value is to be added to its redemption price.
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.
When a man sets apart his house as a holy gift to Yahweh, then the priest will set its value as either good or bad. Whatever the priest values it, so it will be.
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 the owner who set apart his home wishes to redeem it, he must add a fifth of its value to its redemption price, and it will belong to him.
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.
If a man sets apart some of his own land, then the valuation of it will be in proportion to the amount of seed required to plant it—a homer of barley will be valued at 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 sets apart his field during the year of Jubilee, the valuation of it will stand.
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 he sets apart his field after the year of Jubilee, then the priest must calculate the value of the field by the number of years that remain until the next year of Jubilee, and the valuation of it must 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.
If the man who set apart the field wishes to redeem it, then he must add a fifth to the valuation, and it will belong to him.
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.
If he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed any more.
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.
Instead, the field, when it is released in the year of Jubilee, will be a holy gift to Yahweh, like the field that has been completely given to Yahweh. It will belong 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 man sets apart a field that he has bought, but that field is not part of his family's land,
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.
then the priest will figure the valuation of it up to the year of Jubilee, and the man must pay its value on that day as a holy gift to Yahweh.
24 Ekema le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, anyigba la agazu nutɔ gbãtɔ si si wòƒlee le la tɔ.
In the year of Jubilee, the field will return to the man from whom it was bought, to the land's owner.
25 Ga homeawo katã nanɔ Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe ga me: ga siwo katã woaxe la nanye esi dzi nunɔlawo ɖo kpee da ɖi.
All the valuations must be set by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Twenty gerahs must be the equivalent of one shekel.
26 “‘Ame aɖeke matsɔ nyitsu alo agbo si ʋu dɔnu na dadaa la ana Yehowa o, elabena Yehowa tɔe wònye xoxo.
No one may set apart the firstborn among animals, since the firstborn already belongs to Yahweh; whether ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's.
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.
If it is an unclean animal, then the owner may buy it back at the valuation of it, and a fifth must be added to that value. If the animal is not redeemed, then it is to be sold at the set value.
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.
But nothing that a man devotes to Yahweh, from all that he has, whether human or animal, or his family land, may be sold or redeemed. Everything that is devoted is very holy to Yahweh.
29 “‘Ne wodo busu ame aɖe la, womaxɔe kple ga o, ke boŋ woawui.
No ransom may be paid for the person who is devoted for destruction. That person must be put to death.
30 “‘Nu siwo katã anyigba wɔ, agblemenukuwo loo alo kutsetsewo ƒe mama ewolia ƒe ɖeka nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wonye nu kɔkɔe.
All the tithe of the land, whether grain grown on the land or fruit from the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh.
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.
If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
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.
As for every tenth of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd's rod, one-tenth must be set apart to Yahweh.
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!’”
The shepherd must not search for the better or the worse animals, and he must not substitute one for another. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed will be holy. It cannot be redeemed.'”
34 Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Mose le Sinai to la dzi na Israelviwo.
These are the commandments that Yahweh gave at Mount Sinai to Moses for the people of Israel.
