Mambo ya Walawi 27
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kama mtu yeyote ataweka nadhiri maalum ili kuweka watu wakfu kwa Bwana, kwa kutoa kiasi cha thamani inayolingana,
Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.
3 thamani ya kukomboa mwanaume mwenye kati ya umri wa miaka ishirini na miaka sitini itakuwa shekeli hamsini za fedha, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu;
And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.
4 ikiwa ni mwanamke, weka thamani yake kwa shekeli thelathini.
And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.
5 Kama ni mtu mwenye umri wa miaka kati ya mitano na ishirini, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli ishirini, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.
6 Kama ni mtu mwenye umri kati ya mwezi mmoja na miaka mitano, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli tano za fedha, na ile ya mwanamke kuwa shekeli tatu za fedha.
And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.
7 Kama ni mtu mwenye miaka sitini na zaidi, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.
8 Kama mtu yeyote anayeweka nadhiri ni maskini mno kuweza kulipa kiasi kilichowekwa, atampeleka huyo mtu kwa kuhani, ambaye ataweka thamani yake kulingana na kile mweka nadhiri anachoweza kulipa.
But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.
9 “‘Kama kile mtu alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama anayekubalika kama sadaka kwa Bwana, mnyama wa namna hiyo aliyetolewa kwa Bwana anakuwa mtakatifu.
And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.
10 Mtu haruhusiwi kumbadilisha au kutoa mnyama mzuri kwa mbaya, au mnyama mbaya kwa mzuri. Kama atatoa mnyama badala ya mwingine, wanyama wote wawili, yaani yule aliyetolewa na yule aliyebadiliwa, ni watakatifu.
It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.
11 Kama alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama aliye najisi kiibada, yaani yule asiye kubalika kuwa sadaka kwa Bwana, huyo mnyama lazima aletwe kwa kuhani,
And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;
12 ambaye ataamua ubora wa mnyama huyo, kama ni mzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote atakayoweka kuhani, hivyo ndivyo itakavyokuwa.
And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.
13 Kama mwenye mnyama atapenda kumkomboa mnyama huyo, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value.
14 “‘Kama mtu ataweka nyumba yake wakfu kama kitu kitakatifu kwa Bwana, kuhani ataamua ubora wa nyumba hiyo, kama ni nzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoweka, basi hivyo ndivyo itakavyokuwa.
And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.
15 Kama mtu aliyeweka nyumba yake wakfu ataikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake tena.
And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.
16 “‘Kama mtu anaweka sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake wakfu kwa Bwana, thamani yake itawekwa kulingana na kiasi cha mbegu inayohitajiwa kupandwa katika ardhi hiyo, yaani homeri moja ya mbegu za shayiri kwa shekeli hamsini za fedha.
And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 Kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu katika Mwaka wa Yubile, ile thamani iliyokwisha wekwa itakuwa iyo hiyo.
If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.
18 Lakini kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu baada ya Yubile, kuhani ataweka thamani kulingana na idadi ya miaka iliyobaki kufikia Mwaka wa Yubile unaofuata, na thamani yake iliyoamuliwa itapunguzwa.
But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.
19 Kama mtu anayeweka wakfu shamba anataka kulikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nalo shamba litakuwa lake tena.
And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.
20 Kama pengine halikomboi shamba hilo, au kama ameliuza kwa mtu mwingine, kamwe haliwezi kukombolewa.
But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again.
21 Shamba hilo litakapoachiwa mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa takatifu, kama shamba lililotolewa kwa Bwana, nalo litakuwa mali ya makuhani.
But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.
22 “‘Kama mtu ameweka wakfu kwa Bwana shamba alilonunua, ambalo si sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake,
And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage;
23 kuhani ataamua thamani yake hadi Mwaka wa Yubile, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kulipa thamani yake siku hiyo kama kitu kitakatifu kwa Bwana.
Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.
24 Katika Mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarudishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilinunuliwa kutoka kwake, yule ambaye ardhi ilikuwa mali yake.
In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was.
25 Kila thamani lazima iwekwe kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, gera ishirini kwa shekeli.
And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 “‘Lakini hakuna mtu atakayeweka wakfu mzaliwa wa kwanza wa mnyama, kwa kuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza tayari ni mali ya Bwana; awe ngʼombe au kondoo, ni wa Bwana.
But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.
27 Kama ni mmoja wa wanyama walio najisi, aweza kumnunua kwa bei iliyowekwa, akiongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake. Kama hatamkomboa, mnyama huyo atauzwa kwa bei iliyowekwa.
And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.
28 “‘Lakini chochote kile mtu alicho nacho na akakiweka wakfu kwa Bwana, iwe ni binadamu, au mnyama, au ardhi ya jamaa, hakiwezi kuuzwa au kukombolewa. Chochote kilichowekwa wakfu ni kitakatifu sana kwa Bwana.
But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.
29 “‘Mtu yeyote aliyewekwa wakfu ili kuangamizwa, hawezi kukombolewa. Mtu kama huyo lazima auawe.
Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death.
30 “‘Zaka ya kila kitu kutoka shambani, iwe ni nafaka kutoka kwa ardhi, au tunda kutoka kwa miti, ni mali ya Bwana; ni takatifu kwa Bwana.
And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.
31 Kama mtu akikomboa chochote cha zaka yake, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more.
32 Zaka yote ya kundi la ngʼombe au la kondoo na mbuzi, kila mnyama wa kumi apitaye chini ya fimbo ya yule awachungaye, atakuwa mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.
33 Yule mnyama wa kumi hatachaguliwa kwa kigezo cha uzuri au ubaya, naye haruhusiwi kubadiliwa. Ikiwa atabadiliwa, basi mnyama yule wa kwanza na huyo aliyebadiliwa wote watahesabiwa kuwa watakatifu, na haiwezekani kuwakomboa.’”
He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.
34 Haya ndiyo maagizo Bwana aliyompa Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.
