Lewwota 27
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi: ‘Namni yoo gatii wal madaalu kennuudhaan Waaqayyoof nama kennuuf wareega addaa godhe,
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,
3 dhiira umuriin isaa waggaa digdamaa hamma jaatamaa taʼeef, akka safartuu saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti herregni isaa meetii saqilii shantama haa taʼu.
if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.
4 Yoo dubartii taate immoo herregni ishee meetii saqilii soddoma haa taʼu.
Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 Yoo nama umuriin isaa waggaa shanii fi digdama gidduu taʼe, herregni dhiiraa meetii saqilii digdamatti, kan dubartii immoo meetii saqilii kudhanitti haa herregamu.
And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 Nama umuriin isaa jiʼa tokkoo hamma waggaa shanii taʼe immoo herregni isaa, dhiiraaf meetii saqilii shan, durbaaf immoo meetii saqilii sadii haa taʼu.
Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.
7 Namni umuriin isaa waggaa jaatama yookaan sanaa ol taʼe dhiirri meetii saqilii kudha shanitti, dubartiin immoo meetii saqilii kudhanitti haa herregamu.
And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
8 Namni wareega wareegu hiyyoomee gatii murtaaʼe sana yoo baasuu dadhabe, Museen nama sana lubatti haa fidu; lubni immoo akkuma dandeettii namicha wareega wareege sanaatti gatii isaa haa herreguuf.
But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9 “‘Wanni namichi sun wareege horii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa fudhatama qabu yoo taʼe horiin Waaqayyoof kenname kan akkasii hundi ni qulqullaaʼa.
If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.
10 Namichis horii sana geeddaruu yookaan horii gaarii horii jibbamaan yookaan horii jibbamaa horii gaarii iddoo hin buusin; yoo inni horii tokko horii biraa iddoo buuse horiin lamaanuu qulqulluu taʼu.
He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.
11 Yoo horiin inni wareege sun akka seeraatti xuraaʼaa jechuunis kan Waaqayyoof aarsaa taʼee dhiʼaachuu hin dandeenye taʼe namichi sun horii sana gara lubatti haa fidu;
But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.
12 lubichis akka horiin sun gaarii yookaan jibbamaa taʼe haa madaalu. Gatiin lubni madaale akkasuma haa taʼu.
The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.
13 Namichi sun yoo horii sana furachuu barbaade gatii herregame sanatti harka shan keessaa harka tokko itti dabaluu qaba.
If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.
14 “‘Yoo namni tokko mana ofii Waaqayyoof qulqulleesse, akka manni sun gaarii yookaan gadhee taʼe lubichi gatii isaa haa herregu. Gatiin lubni madaale akkasuma haa taʼu.
Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.
15 Namichi mana isaa Waaqaaf qulqulleesse sun yoo mana ofii furachuu barbaade, gatii herregame sanatti harka shan keessaa harka tokko itti dabaluu qaba; manni sunis deebiʼee kan isaa taʼa.
But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.
16 “‘Yoo namni lafa dhaalaan argate irraa Waaqayyoof qulqulleesse gatiin lafa sanaa akkuma baayʼina sanyii lafa sanaaf barbaachisuutti jechuunis garbuun safartuun homeerii tokko meetii saqilii shantamatti herregama.
If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.
17 Yoo inni lafa qotiisaa isaa Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu keessa qulqulleesse gatiin duraan hedame sun hin geeddaramu.
If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.
18 Garuu yoo inni waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu booddee lafa qotiisaa isaa qulqulleesse lubichi akkuma baayʼina waggoota hamma waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu itti aanuutti jiraniitti herrega; gatiin shallagame gad buʼa.
But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced.
19 Yoo namichi lafa qotiisaa isaa Waaqaaf addaan baasu sun lafa qotiisaa isaa furachuu barbaade, inni gatii hedametti harka shan keessaa harka tokko haa dabalu; lafti qotiisaa sunis deebiʼee kan isaa taʼa.
And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.
20 Taʼus yoo inni lafa qotiisaa sana furachuu baate, yookaan dabarsee nama biraatti gurgure, lafti qotiisaa sun deebiʼee furamuu hin dandaʼu.
If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.
21 Lafti qotiisaa sun yommuu Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu keessa gad dhiifamutti akkuma lafa qotiisaa Waaqayyoof kennameetti addaan baafama; kunis qabeenya lubootaa taʼa.
When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.
22 “‘Yoo namni tokko lafa qotiisaa dhaalaan hin argatin kan ofii isaatii bitate Waaqayyoof qulqulleesse,
Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,
23 lubni gatii lafa qotiisaa sanaa hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti herrega; namichis gatii herregame sana gaafuma sana kan Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffame godhee haa baasu.
then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.
24 Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuuttis lafti qotiisaa sun namichuma irraa bitame kan abbaa lafa qotiisaa sanaa tureef ni deebiʼa.
In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.
25 Gatiin hundinuu akka madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti jechuunis geeraan digdamni saqilii tokkootti herregama.
Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 “‘Taʼus namni tokko iyyuu horii hangafa qulqulleessuu hin dandaʼu; hangafti duraanuu Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffameeraatii; sangaas taʼu hoolaan hangafni kan Waaqayyoo ti.
But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.
27 Yoo horiin sun xuraaʼaa taʼe inni gatii herregame irratti harka shan keessaa harka tokko dabalee deebisee bitachuu dandaʼa. Yoo inni furachuu baate immoo horiin sun gatii isaaf herregametti gurgurama.
But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 “‘Garuu wanni namni qabu kan inni Waaqayyoof qulqulleessu tokko illee jechuunis namas taʼu horiin yookaan lafti dhaalaan argame hin gurguramu yookaan hin furamu. Wanni akkasiin qulqulleeffame hundinuu akka malee Waaqayyoof qulqulluudhaatii.
Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
29 “‘Namni akka ajjeefamuuf murteeffame tokko illee hin furamu; inni ajjeefamuu qaba.
No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.
30 “‘Wanni lafti baaftu kam iyyuu sanyiis taʼu ija mukaa harka kudhan keessaa harki tokko kan Waaqayyoo ti; kun waan Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamee dha.
Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
31 Namni yoo kennaa isaa kan harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko taʼe sana furachuu barbaade inni gatii kennaa sanaaf herregame irratti harka shan keessaa harka tokko dabalee haa baasu.
If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
32 Kennaan karra loonii fi bushaayee guutuu keessaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko taʼe jechuunis horiin ulee tiksee jala baʼee darbu hunda keessaa harka kudhan keessaa harki tokko Waaqayyoof qulqullaaʼa.
Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.
33 Inni horii jibbamaa keessaa horii gaarii hin filatin yookaan iddoo hin buusin; yoo inni iddoo buuse horiin lamaanuu qulqulluu taʼu; furamuus hin dandaʼu.’”
He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”
34 Kunneen ajajawwan Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti karaa Museetiin Israaʼelootaaf kennee dha.
These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
