Ebyabaleevi 27
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti: Omuntu bw’anaakolanga obweyamo obw’enjawulo obw’okuwaayo abantu eri Mukama naye ng’asasulayo miwendo egibagyamu, onoobasaliranga bw’oti:
“Tell the Israeli people [that this is what I am saying to them]: If anyone solemnly promises to dedicate another person to [work solely] for me, the person who is dedicated to me is allowed to be free from having to do that by someone paying [to the priest] a fixed amount of money. The money that is given must be calculated by comparing it with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
3 omusajja aweza emyaka egy’obukulu egiri wakati w’amakumi abiri n’enkaaga anaaleetanga sekeri za ffeeza amakumi ataano, nga sekeri z’omu watukuvu bwe ziba,
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 naye bw’anaabanga omukazi onoomusaliranga sekeri amakumi asatu.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Omuntu aweza emyaka egy’obukulu egiri wakati w’ettaano n’amakumi abiri, bw’anaabanga omusajja onoomusaliranga sekeri amakumi abiri naye omukazi sekeri kkumi.
20 pieces of silver for young men who are between five and 20 years old, ten pieces of silver for young women who are between five and 20 years old,
6 Bw’anaabanga omwana ng’ali wakati w’omwezi gumu n’emyaka etaano, onoomusaliranga sekeri ttaano eza ffeeza nga mulenzi, naye omuwala sekeri za ffeeza ssatu.
five pieces of silver for boys who are between one month and five years old, three pieces of silver for girls who are between one month and five years old,
7 Omuntu bw’anaabanga ow’emyaka egy’obukulu nkaaga n’okusingawo, omusajja onoomusaliranga sekeri kkumi na ttaano n’omukazi sekeri kkumi.
15 pieces of silver for men who are more than 60 years old, ten pieces of silver for women who are more than 60 years old.
8 Omuntu eyakola obweyamo bw’anaabanga omwavu ennyo atasobola kuleeta miwendo egyo gye wamusalira, anaayanjulwanga eri kabona; kale kabona anaamusaliranga omuwendo ogumugyamu ng’ageraageranya obusobozi bw’oyo eyeeyama nga bwe bunaabanga.
‘If anyone who has made such a solemn promise is very poor and unable to pay, to free that person from doing what he had promised, he must take that person to the priest. The priest will set the price [for freeing him] to be what the person who made that solemn promise is able to pay.
9 “Obweyamo bw’omuntu bwe bunaabeeranga obw’ekisolo ekikkirizibwa ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, ekisolo ng’ekyo ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda kinaabanga kitukuvu.
‘If someone solemnly promises to give an animal that is acceptable to be an offering to me, that animal becomes sacred [and belongs to me].
10 Tasaaniranga kukikyusaamu oba kukiwaanyisaamu ekibi mu kirungi wadde ekirungi mu kibi; bw’anaabanga awaanyisizza ekisolo ekimu mu kirala, byombi kino na kiri ky’awanyisizzaamu binaafuukanga bitukuvu.
The person who promised to give it must not give another animal instead of the one that he promised; he must not substitute a bad animal for a good one or even a better one than the one offered. If he would substitute one animal for the other, both animals would belong to me.
11 Ensolo omuntu gy’anaabanga yeeyamye bw’eneebanga etali nnongoofu, etakkirizibwa ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, ensolo eyo esaanira okuleetebwanga eri kabona,
If the animal that he wishes to dedicate to me is a kind that is unacceptable to be an offering to me, he must take that animal to the priest.
12 ye alyokenga asalewo nga bw’eri, oba nnungi oba mbi. Omuwendo kabona gw’anaabaliriranga ku nsolo eyo, gwe gunaawebwangayo.
The priest will then decide what its value is, according to the animal’s good and bad points. Whatever value the priests sets will be the value of the animal, [and that is the price that the priest must pay for the animal].
13 Nannyini nsolo bw’anaabanga ayagala okuginunulayo, anaasaniranga okugattako ekitundu ekimu ekyokutaano ku muwendo gwayo.
If the man who gave the animal later decides that he wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] that price plus an additional 20 percent.
14 “Omusajja bw’anaawangayo ennyumba ye okubeera entukuvu eri Mukama Katonda kabona anaagirabiranga omuwendo ogugigyamu, oba nnungi oba mbi. Omuwendo ogwo kabona gw’anaasalanga gwe gunaakolanga.
‘[Similarly], if someone dedicates his house to be a sacred gift to belong to me, the priest will decide how much it is worth, which will depend on whether the house is in good condition. Whatever the priest says that it is worth, that will be its value [and that is the price that the priest must pay for it].
15 Oyo anaawangayo ennyumba ye eri Mukama bw’anaabanga ayagala okuginunula, anaayongerangako ekitundu kimu kyakutaano ku muwendo gwayo, olwo ng’ennyumba emuddira.
If the man who dedicated his house to me later wants to buy it back, he must pay that price plus an additional 20 percent, and then the house will belong to him again.
16 “Omusajja bw’anaawangayo ekitundu ky’ettaka lye, lye yasikira, eri Mukama Katonda, omuwendo oguligyamu gunaabalirirwanga nga gwesigamizibwa ku bungi bw’ensigo ezeetaagibwa okusiga ku ttaka eryo ne ziggweerako; ensigo za sayiri ezipimibwamu oma zinaabalirirwangamu sekeri za ffeeza amakumi ataano.
‘If someone dedicates to me some of the property that belongs to him and his family, its value will be determined by the number of bushels of seed that will be needed to plant seeds on that land: Its value will be ten pieces of silver for each bushel of seed.
17 Singa ennimiro ye, agiwaayo mu biseera by’Omwaka gwa Jjubiri, omuwendo ogubaliriddwa gunaasigalanga nga bwe guli.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Naye bw’anaawangayo ennimiro ye nga Jjubiri eweddeko, kabona anagibalirirangamu omuwendo ng’agwesigamya ku myaka eginaabanga gibulayo Omwaka gwa Jjubiri eddirira gulyoke gutandike, n’omuwendo ogwali gubaliriddwa gunaakendeezebwangako.
But if he dedicates the field after the Year of Celebration, the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration, and if there are not many years that remain, the price will be much lower [than the full price].
19 Era oyo anaabanga awaddeyo ennimiro ye bw’anaayagalanga okuginunula, kale anaagattangako ekitundu kimu kyakutaano ku muwendo gwayo, olwo ennimiro n’emuddira.
If the person who dedicated the field later wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] the price that the priest says it is worth, plus an added one-fifth, and then the field will belong to that man again.
20 Naye bw’anaabanga tayagala kununula nnimiro eyo, oba bw’anaabanga agiguzizza omuntu omulala, kale ng’olwo tekyanunulibwa n’akamu.
However, if he does not buy it back, or if it has been sold (OR, the priest has sold it) to someone else, that person will never be permitted to buy it back again.
21 Naye mu Mwaka gwa Jjubiri ennimiro eyo bw’eneeteebwanga, eneebanga ntukuvu, ng’ennimiro eyawongebwa ewa Mukama; eneebanga ya kabona.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 “Omusajja bw’anaawangayo eri Mukama Katonda ennimiro gye yagula, etali ku ttaka lye ery’obwannannyini,
‘If someone dedicates to me some land that he has bought, land which is not part of the land that his family has always owned,
23 kabona anaabaliriranga omuwendo ogugigyamu okutuuka ku mwaka gwa Jjubiri, omusajja anaasasulanga omuwendo ogwo ku lunaku olwo ng’ekintu ekitukuvu eri Mukama Katonda.
the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration to determine how much it is worth, and the man must pay that amount to the priest on that day, [and then that land will belong to that man again].
24 Mu mwaka gwa Jjubiri, ennimiro eneddizibwanga oyo gwe yagigulako, nga y’oyo eyali nannyini ttaka.
But in the Year of Celebration, the land will again be owned by the person from whom he bought it, the person whose family had always owned that land.
25 Buli muwendo ogubalirirwa guneesigamizibwanga ku sekeri z’Awatukuvu, nga gera amakumi abiri zivaamu sekeri emu.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 “Tewabanga awaayo omwana gw’ensolo omubereberye eri Mukama, kubanga abaana b’ensolo ababereberye bonna ba Mukama, oba nte oba ndiga zonna za Mukama Katonda.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Bw’anaabanga awaddeyo emu ku nsolo ezitali nnongoofu, anagisasuliranga omuwendo gwayo ogwagibalirirwamu, ng’agattako ekitundu kimu kyakutaano eky’omuwendo gwayo. Bw’ataaginunulengayo eneetundwanga omuwendo ogwagibalirirwamu.
If someone gives to me a kind of animal that is not acceptable to me, that person may later buy it back by paying what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent of its value. If he does not buy it back, it must be sold (OR, the priest must sell it) for its standard price.
28 “Naye omuntu yenna bw’anaamalanga okuwongera Mukama Katonda ku bintu bye by’anaabanga nabyo, gamba oba muntu oba kisolo oba ennimiro ye gye yasikira, tewaabengawo ku bintu ebyo bitundibwa oba okununulibwa; buli kintu ekiwongere ddala mu ngeri eyo kinaabanga kitukuvu nnyo eri Mukama Katonda.
‘However, no slave or animal or family land that someone owns can be sold or bought back after it has been dedicated to me [and no price has been paid for it]. That kind of gift belongs to me permanently/forever.
29 Omuntu eyawongebwa nga wa kuttibwa, taanunulibwenga kinaamusaaniranga kuttibwa.
‘No person who has [done something that I consider to be very wicked] is permitted to be freed [from being punished]; that person must surely be executed.
30 “Buli kitundu eky’ekkumi ekiva mu nsi, gamba ku mmere ey’empeke eva mu ttaka, oba ku bibala ebiva ku miti, kya Mukama Katonda, era kitukuvu eri Mukama Katonda.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Omuntu anaayagalanga okununula ku bitundu bye eby’ekkumi, anaagatangako ekitundu kimu kyakutaano ku muwendo gwakyo.
If anyone wants to buy back any of that tenth, he must pay [to the priest] what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent.
32 Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna ebyamagana g’ente n’eby’ebisibo by’endiga, kwe kugamba nti buli nsolo omusumba gy’anaabalanga nga ya kkumi, eneebanga ntukuvu eri Mukama Katonda.
One of every ten domestic animals belongs to me. When a shepherd counts his animals [MTY] [to decide which ones he will give to me], he must mark every tenth one as belonging to me.
33 Tasaaniranga kulondamu nnungi ng’alekawo embi, oba okuwaanyisa. Bw’anaawaanyisanga ng’olwo ensolo zombi, eri n’eno ewanyisizibbwa zinaafuukanga ntukuvu teziinunulibwenga.”
When he does that, he must not pick out the good ones for himself or leave the bad ones, or substitute bad ones for good ones. If he substitutes one animal for another, both animals will belong to me, and he will not be permitted to buy them back (OR, the shepherd cannot buy them back).’”
34 Ago ge mateeka Mukama Katonda ge yawa Musa ku lusozi Sinaayi agategeeze abaana ba Isirayiri.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
