Revhitiko 27
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Taura navaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Kana munhu akaita mhiko yakasarudzika yokuti akumikidze vanhu kuna Jehovha nokupa mutengo wakaenzanirana,
“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 utare mutengo womunhurume ane makore ari pakati pamakumi maviri namakumi matanhatu pamashekeri makumi mashanu esirivha, zvichienzaniswa neshekeri rapanzvimbo tsvene;
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 uye kana ari munhukadzi, utare mutengo wake pamashekeri makumi matatu.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Kana ari munhu ana makore ari pakati pamashanu namakore makumi maviri, utare mutengo womunhurume pamashekeri makumi maviri, uye munhukadzi pamashekeri gumi.
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 Kana ari munhu ari pakati pomwedzi mumwe namakore mashanu, utare mutengo womunhurume pamashekeri mashanu esirivha uye utare pamunhukadzi mashekeri matatu esirivha.
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 Kana munhu ane makore makumi matanhatu kana anopfuura, utare mutengo womunhurume pamashekeri gumi namashanu, uye pamunhukadzi mashekeri gumi.
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 Kana munhu wose anenge achiita mhiko ari murombo zvikuru zvokutotadza kuripa muripo wakatarwa, anofanira kuuya nomunhu uyu kumuprista, achatara mutengo wake zvichienderana nezvinokwaniswa nomunhu ari kuita mhiko.
‘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 “‘Kana chaakapika chiri mhuka inogamuchirika sechipiriso kuna Jehovha, mhuka yakadai inopiwa kuna Jehovha ichava tsvene.
‘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 Haafaniri kuchitsinhanisa kana kuisa chakanaka panzvimbo yechakaipa, kana chakaipa panzvimbo yechakanaka; kana akaisa mhuka pachinzvimbo cheimwe, dzose dziri mbiri neyatsinhanisa dzichava tsvene.
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 Kana chaakapika chiri mhuka isina kuchena, iyo isingagamuchiriki sechipiriso kuna Jehovha, mhuka iyi inofanira kupiwa kumuprista,
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 uyo achatara kukosha kwayo, kuti yakanaka kana kuti yakaipa. Mutengo upi noupi uchatemwa nomuprista, ndiwo uchave mutengo wayo.
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 Kana muridzi achida kudzikinura mhuka iyi, anofanira kupamhidzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu pamutengo wayo.
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 “‘Kana munhu akakumikidza imba yake sechinhu chitsvene kuna Jehovha, muprista achatara kukosha kwayo kuti yakanaka here kana kuti yakaipa. Mutengo upi noupi uchatemwa nomuprista, ndiwo ucharamba uripo.
‘[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 Kana murume anokumikidza imba yake akaidzikinura, anofanira kupamhidzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu zvomutengo wayo. Uye imba ichava yake zvakare.
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 “‘Kana munhu akakumikidza kuna Jehovha chikamu chomunda wemhuri yake, mutengo wawo unofanira kutarwa zvichienderana nouwandu hwezviyo zvinodiwa ipapo, mashekeri makumi mashanu esirivha pahomeri yezviyo yebhari.
‘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 Kana akakumikidza munda wake mugore reJubhiri, mutengo wakatarwa unoramba uripo.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Asi kana akakumikidza munda wake mushure meJubhiri, muprista achatara mutengo zvichienderana namakore asara Jubhiri rinotevera risati rasvika, uye mutengo wawo wakatarwa uchaderedzwa.
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 Kana murume anokumikidza munda achida kuudzikinura, anofanira kupamhidzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu pamutengo wacho, uye munda uchava wake zvakare.
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 Kunyange zvakadaro, kana asingadzikinuri munda wake, kana akautengesera mumwe munhu, hauzogoni kudzikinurwa.
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 Kana munda ukasunungurwa muJubhiri, uchava mutsvene, somunda wakapiwa kuna Jehovha; uchava munda wavaprista.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 “‘Kana munhu akakumikidza kuna Jehovha munda waakatenga, usiri chikamu chomunda wemhuri yake,
‘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 muprista achatara mutengo wawo kusvikira mugore reJubhiri, uye munhu uyu anofanira kuripa mutengo wawo musi iwoyo sechinhu chitsvene kuna Jehovha.
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 Mugore reJubhiri munda uchadzokera kumunhu waakatengeserana naye uyo aiva muridzi womunda.
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 Mutengo wose unofanira kutarwa zvichienderana neshekeri repanzvimbo tsvene, makumi maviri amagera pashekeri rimwe.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 “‘Zvisinei hazvo, hapana munhu angakumikidza dangwe remhuka, sezvo dangwe ragara riri raJehovha kare; ingava mombe kana gwai; ndezvaJehovha.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Kana iri imwe yemhuka dzisina kuchena, anogona kuidzikinura nomutengo wayo wakatarwa, achipamhidzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu pamutengo wayo. Kana isina kudzikinurwa, inofanira kutengeswa nomutengo wayo wakatarwa.
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 “‘Asi hakuna chinhu chomunhu chinopiwa kuna Jehovha, angava munhu kana mhuka kana munda wemhuri, chinogona kutengeswa kana kudzikinurwa; chinhu chose chinopiwa saizvozvo chinova chitsvene kwazvo kuna Jehovha.
‘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 “‘Hakuna munhu anopiwa kuti aparadzwe angadzikinurwa; anofanira kuurayiwa.
‘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 “‘Chegumi chezvinhu zvose zvinobva mumunda, zvingava zviyo zvinobva muvhu kana michero yemiti, ndezvaJehovha; zvitsvene kuna Jehovha.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Kana munhu akadzikinura chimwe chinhu pazvegumi zvake, anofanira kupamhidzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu pamutengo wacho.
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 Chegumi chose chemombe namakwai, mhuka yose yegumi inopfuura napasi petsvimbo yomufudzi, ichava tsvene kuna Jehovha.
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 Haafaniri kusarudza zvakanaka kubva mune zvakaipa kana kuzvitsinhanisa. Kana akazvitsinhanisa, mhuka dzose dziri mbiri, yatsiviwa neyatsiva, dzichava tsvene uye hadzigoni kudzikinurwa.’”
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 Iyi ndiyo mirayiro yavaIsraeri yakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha paGomo reSinai.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
