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 you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul 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;
the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be his valuation shall be fifty didrachmas of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.
4 ikiwa ni mwanamke, weka thamani yake kwa shekeli thelathini.
And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachmas.
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 it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachmas, and of a female ten didrachmas.
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 from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachmas, and of a female, three didrachmas of silver.
7 Kama ni mtu mwenye miaka sitini na zaidi, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
And if from sixty year [old] and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachmas of silver, and if a female, ten didrachmas.
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.
And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.
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 be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it 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.
He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall 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 be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set 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 the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
13 Kama mwenye mnyama atapenda kumkomboa mnyama huyo, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its 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 whatever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
15 Kama mtu aliyeweka nyumba yake wakfu ataikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake tena.
And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall 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 should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachmas of silver for a homer of barley.
17 Kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu katika Mwaka wa Yubile, ile thamani iliyokwisha wekwa itakuwa iyo hiyo.
And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.
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.
And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.
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 sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his.
20 Kama pengine halikomboi shamba hilo, au kama ameliuza kwa mtu mwingine, kamwe haliwezi kukombolewa.
And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.
21 Shamba hilo litakapoachiwa mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa takatifu, kama shamba lililotolewa kwa Bwana, nalo litakuwa mali ya makuhani.
But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.
22 “‘Kama mtu ameweka wakfu kwa Bwana shamba alilonunua, ambalo si sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake,
And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
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 to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day [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.
And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.
25 Kila thamani lazima iwekwe kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, gera ishirini kwa shekeli.
And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.
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.
And every firstborn which shall be produced among your cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or 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.
But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.
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.
And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.
29 “‘Mtu yeyote aliyewekwa wakfu ili kuangamizwa, hawezi kukombolewa. Mtu kama huyo lazima auawe.
And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely 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.
Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.
31 Kama mtu akikomboa chochote cha zaka yake, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.
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 every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall 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.’”
You shall not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if you should at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.
34 Haya ndiyo maagizo Bwana aliyompa Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
