Mambo ya Walawi 27
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kama mtu yeyote ataweka nadhiri maalum ili kuweka watu wakfu kwa Bwana, kwa kutoa kiasi cha thamani inayolingana,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
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;
If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
4 ikiwa ni mwanamke, weka thamani yake kwa shekeli thelathini.
If a woman, thirty.
5 Kama ni mtu mwenye umri wa miaka kati ya mitano na ishirini, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli ishirini, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
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.
From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
7 Kama ni mtu mwenye miaka sitini na zaidi, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman 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.
If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 “‘Kama kile mtu alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama anayekubalika kama sadaka kwa Bwana, mnyama wa namna hiyo aliyetolewa kwa Bwana anakuwa mtakatifu.
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall 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.
And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 Kama alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama aliye najisi kiibada, yaani yule asiye kubalika kuwa sadaka kwa Bwana, huyo mnyama lazima aletwe kwa kuhani,
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12 ambaye ataamua ubora wa mnyama huyo, kama ni mzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote atakayoweka kuhani, hivyo ndivyo itakavyokuwa.
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13 Kama mwenye mnyama atapenda kumkomboa mnyama huyo, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
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.
If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
15 Kama mtu aliyeweka nyumba yake wakfu ataikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake tena.
But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.
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 he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.
17 Kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu katika Mwaka wa Yubile, ile thamani iliyokwisha wekwa itakuwa iyo hiyo.
If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
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 some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
19 Kama mtu anayeweka wakfu shamba anataka kulikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nalo shamba litakuwa lake tena.
And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
20 Kama pengine halikomboi shamba hilo, au kama ameliuza kwa mtu mwingine, kamwe haliwezi kukombolewa.
And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
21 Shamba hilo litakapoachiwa mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa takatifu, kama shamba lililotolewa kwa Bwana, nalo litakuwa mali ya makuhani.
For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
22 “‘Kama mtu ameweka wakfu kwa Bwana shamba alilonunua, ambalo si sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake,
If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
23 kuhani ataamua thamani yake hadi Mwaka wa Yubile, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kulipa thamani yake siku hiyo kama kitu kitakatifu kwa Bwana.
The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.
24 Katika Mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarudishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilinunuliwa kutoka kwake, yule ambaye ardhi ilikuwa mali yake.
But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
25 Kila thamani lazima iwekwe kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, gera ishirini kwa shekeli.
All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
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.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are 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 be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
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.
Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
29 “‘Mtu yeyote aliyewekwa wakfu ili kuangamizwa, hawezi kukombolewa. Mtu kama huyo lazima auawe.
And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
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.
All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.
31 Kama mtu akikomboa chochote cha zaka yake, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
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.
Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified 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.’”
It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
34 Haya ndiyo maagizo Bwana aliyompa Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
