Levitikọs 27

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e kwee nkwa pụrụ iche iji mmadụ nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye, ihe ndị a ka ọ ga-eji gbara onye ahụ:

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to the LORD in a vow, according to your valuation,

3 nʼisi nwoke ọbụla gbara iri afọ abụọ ruo iri afọ isii, ọ ga-akwụ iri ọlaọcha shekel ise, dịka ihe ọtụtụ ebe nsọ si dị.

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.

4 Nʼisi nwanyị ọbụla gbara iri afọ abụọ ruo iri afọ isii ọ ga-enye iri ọlaọcha shekel atọ.

If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5 Nʼisi nwoke gbara afọ ise ruo iri afọ abụọ, ọ ga-enye iri ọlaọcha shekel abụọ. Nʼisi nwanyị gbara afọ ise ruo iri afọ abụọ, ọ ga-enye ọlaọcha shekel iri.

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.

6 A ga-akwụrụ nwantakịrị nwoke gbara site otu ọnwa ruo afọ ise, ọlaọcha shekel ise, kwụọra nwantakịrị nwanyị gbara otu ọnwa ruo afọ ise ọlaọcha shekel atọ.

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.

7 Nʼisi nwoke gafere iri afọ isi, a ga-enye ọlaọcha shekel iri na ise. Nʼisi nwanyị gafere iri afọ isi a ga-enye ọlaọcha shekel iri.

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.

8 Ọ bụrụ na e nwee onye ogbenye na-enweghị ego ọ ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ndị a, a ga-akpọtara ya onye nchụaja, onye ga-ekwubi ihe onye ahụ kwere nkwa ga-akwụ dịka ego o nwere ruru.

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.

9 “‘Ọ bụrụ anụ ụlọ dị mma inye Onyenwe anyị dịka onyinye ka e kwere nkwa inye, anụ ụlọ e nyere Onyenwe anyị ga-aghọ ihe dị nsọ.

“‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD becomes holy.

10 Onye kwere nkwa inye ya enweghị ike iji anụ ụlọ nke ahụ ya na-ezughị oke gbanwere anụ ụlọ ahụ na-enweghị ntụpọ. O nwekwaghị ike iji anụ ụlọ ahụ na-enweghị ntụpọ gbanwere nke anụ ahụ ya na-ezughị oke. Ọ bụrụ na o mee otu a, anụ ụlọ nke mbụ, na nke abụọ, ga-abụ ihe dị nsọ.

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.

11 Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ o ji kwee nkwa bụ anụ ụlọ rụrụ arụ, ụdị anụ ụlọ ahụ a jụrụ ịnabata dịka onyinye maka iji ya chụọ aja nye Onyenwe anyị, a ga-akpụtara onye nchụaja anụ ụlọ ahụ.

If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

12 Ọ bụ ya ka ọ dịrị ikpebi ma anụ ụlọ ahụ ọ dị mma, ma ọ jọrọ njọ. Ọnụ ego ọbụla onye nchụaja kpebiri, ka onye wetara anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ.

and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.

13 Ọ bụrụ na onye nwe anụ ụlọ ahụ achọọ ịgbara ya, ọ ga-akwụ ụgwọ anụ ụlọ ahụ, tụkwasịkwa nʼelu ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ọnụahịa anụ ụlọ ahụ.

But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.

14 “‘Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enye ụlọ ya, dịka ihe ga-adị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, onye nchụaja ga-ekpebi maọbụ ụlọ dị mma, ma ọ bụkwanụ ụlọ jọrọ njọ. Ọ ga-ekwukwa ihe bụ ọnụahịa ụlọ ahụ.

“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.

15 Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ nke na-edo ụlọ ya nsọ achọọ ịgbara ya, ọ ga-akwụ ọnụahịa ụlọ ahụ, tụkwasịkwa nʼelu ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ọnụahịa ụlọ ahụ. Emesịa, ụlọ ahụ ga-abụkwa nke ya.

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.

16 “‘Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ewere mpaghara ala ubi ezinaụlọ ya nye Onyenwe anyị ka ihe ido nsọ, ihe a ga-eji mata ọnụahịa ala ahụ ga-abụ ụdị ihe ubi e nwere ike ịkụ nʼime ya. Ọnụahịa ala ubi e nwere ike ịkụnye ọka balị ruru otu ihe ọtụtụ homa, ga-abụ iri mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha shekel ise.

“‘If a man dedicates to the LORD 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.

17 Ọ bụrụ nʼime afọ inwere onwe ka o doro ala ahụ nsọ, agaghị agbanwe ọnụahịa ya.

If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18 Ma ọ bụrụ na o doro ala ahụ nsọ mgbe afọ inwe onwe ahụ gafere, onye nchụaja ga-agụkọrọ ya ọnụahịa ya dịka afọ ole ọ fọdụrụ mgbe mmemme afọ inwere onwe ọzọ ga-adị. A ga-ewebilatakwa ihe ọnụahịa ya ruru.

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.

19 Ọ bụrụ na onye doro ala ahụ nsọ achọọ ịgbara ala ya, ọ ga-akwụ ọnụahịa ahụ onye nchụaja kpebiri, tụkwasị ya ego ruru otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ọnụahịa ala ahụ. Mgbe ahụ ala ahụ ga-abụkwa nke ya.

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.

20 Ọ bụrụ na ọ gbapụtaghị ala ahụ, maọbụ na o resila ya onye ọzọ, a gaghị agbapụtakwa ala ahụ ọzọ.

If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

21 Mgbe mmemme afọ inwere onwe ruru, ala ahụ ga-aghọ ala dị nsọ, ala e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ndị nchụaja ga-ewere ya ka ọ bụrụ nke ha.

but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.

22 “‘Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e doro Onyenwe anyị ala ubi ọ zụrụ azụ nsọ, nke na-abụghị ala ezinaụlọ ha,

“‘If he dedicates a field to the LORD which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

23 onye nchụaja ga-agụ afọ ole ọ fọdụrụ ruo mmemme afọ inwere onwe. Ọ ga-agwa onye ahụ ego ole ọ ga-akwụ nʼihi ya. Ego ọbụla ọ kwụrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ ga-abụ ihe dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.

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 the LORD.

24 Mgbe afọ inwere onwe ahụ zuru, onye nwe ala ahụ, ya bụ onye ahụ e si nʼaka ya zụọ ya, ga-ewerekwa ala ya.

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.

25 Ọnụahịa ọbụla a ga-ekpebi ga-abụ nʼusoro dịka shekel ebe nsọ si dị. Iri gera abụọ ga-abụ otu shekel.

All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26 “‘A gaghị edo nwa mbụ anụmanụ mụtara nsọ maọbụ ehi maọbụ atụrụ nʼihi na ha bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.

“‘However the firstborn amongst animals, which belongs to the LORD as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is the LORD’s.

27 Ọ bụrụ otu nʼime anụ ndị ahụ rụrụ arụ, a ga-agbara ya nʼọnụ ego nke akara bụ ọṅụ ahịa ya, tụkwasịkwa nʼelu ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ọnụahịa ya. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na onye nwe anụ ụlọ ahụ achọghị ịgbarakwa ya, a ga-ere ya nʼọnụ ahịa dịka o ruru.

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.

28 “‘A gaghị ere, maọbụ gbara ihe ọbụla mmadụ nwere, nke o doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, maọbụ mmadụ, maọbụ ala ezinaụlọ, maọbụ anụ ụlọ, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla nke e wezugara iche bụ ihe dịkarịsịrị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.

“‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD 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 the LORD.

29 “‘Mgbapụta ọbụla adịghị nye onye ọbụla e doro nsọ nye mbibi. A ghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ.

“‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from amongst men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.

30 “‘Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe niile si nʼala, maọbụ mkpụrụ ọghịgha nke ubi, maọbụ mkpụrụ nke osisi mịrị, bụ nke Onyenwe anyị. Ha bụ ihe nsọ dịrị Onyenwe anyị.

“‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.

31 Onye ọbụla chọrọ ịgbara otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe ubi ya aghaghị ịkwụ ọnụahịa ya, tụkwasị ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ọnụahịa e kwesiri ire ya.

If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

32 Otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke igwe ehi na atụrụ niile, anụ nke iri ọbụla nke na-agabiga nʼokpuru mkpanaka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ mgbe a na-agụ ha ọnụ, ga-abụ ihe dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.

All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.

33 A gaghị ahọ anụ ụlọ a na-enye Onyenwe anyị ahọ, ile ma ha dị mma, maọbụ na ha dị njọ. A gaghị agbanwekwa ha. Ọ bụrụ na a gbanwee ha, ndị e ji gbanwee ha na ndị a na-achọ ịgbanwe ga-aghọ ihe dị nsọ, a gaghị agbarakwa ha.’”

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.’”

34 Ndị a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼugwu Saịnaị ka ọ nye ụmụ Izrel.

These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
