Mambo ya Walawi 27
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na akasema,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Iwapo mtu yeyote anatoa kiapo maalum cha kuwa mnathiri kwa Yahweh, tumieni tathmini zifuatazo:
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 Viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwanaume aliye na umri kati ya miaka ishirini na miaka sitini yaweza kuwa shekeli hamsini za fedha, kulingana na vipimo vya shekeli ya mahali pa 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 Kwa mwanamke wa umri uleule viwango vyenu vya thamani yapasa viwe shekeli thelathini vya fedha.
If a woman, thirty.
5 Tangu wenye umri wa miaka mitano mpaka wa miaka ishirini viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mwananume vitakuwa shekeli ishirini za fedha, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi za fedha,
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6 Kwa wenye umri wa tangu mwezi mmoja mpaka miaka mitano viwango vyenu vya thamani kwa mawanaume vitakuwa shekeli tano za fedha na kwa mwanamke shekeli tatu za fedha.
From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
7 Tangu wenye umri wa miaka sitini na zaidi kwa mwanaume viwango vyenu vya thamani vitakuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na kwa mwanamke ni shekeli kumi.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
8 Lakini kama mtu atoaye kiapo cha mnadhiri hawezi kulipa kiwango hicho cha thamani, kisha huyo mtu anayetolewa lazima atapelekwa kwa kuhani, naye kuhani atamthamanisha huyo atolewaye kwa kiasi anachoweza kutoa yule anayetoa kiapo cha mnadhiri.
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 Iwapo mtu anataka kutoa sadaka ya mnyama kwa Yahweh, na iwapo Yahweh ataikubali, kisha huyo mnyama atatengwa kwake.
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,
10 Mtu huyo hataruhusiwa kumtoa madhabahuni au kumbadilisha huyo mnyama, mzuri kwa mbaya au mbaya kwa mzuri. endapo atatoa mnyama badala ya mwingine, kisha wanyama hao wawili; yule anayetolewa na yule anayebadilishwa wanakuwa 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 Hata hivyo, iwapo kile mtu amishaapa kumtolea Yahweh kwa uhalisia siyo kisafi, kwa hiyo, Yahweh hatakikubali, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kumleta huyo mnyama kwa kuhani.
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12 Kuhani atamthamanisha, kwa thamani ya soko la mnyama. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoiweka juu ya mnyama, hiyo ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13 Na kama mmiliki anapenda kumkomboa, kisha tano ya thamani yake itaongezwa kwenye gharama yake ya ukombozi.
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14 Mtu aitengapo nyumba yake iwe zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kisha kuhani ataweka thamani yake ama iwe ni nzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote itakayowekwa na kuhani juu yake, ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
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 Lakini kama mmiliki wake anayeitenga nyumba yake anapenda kuikomboa, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake kwenye gharama ya ukombozi wake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake.
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 Iwapo mtu anatenga sehemu ya ardhi yake mwenye, kisha tathmini yake itakuwa katika uwiano kwa kiwango cha kiasi cha mbegu inayotakiwa kuipanda katika ardhi hiyo—homeri moja ya mbegu za shairi ambayo itathamanishwa 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 Na kama analitenga shamba lake katika mwaka wa Yubile, tathmini yake ya awali itabaki kuwa ileile.
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 endapo atalitenga shamba hilo baada ya mwaka wa Yubile, kisha kuhani atalazimika kukokotoa thamani yake kwa idadi ya miaka inayobaki mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na thamani yake lazima ishushwe.
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 Iwapo mtu anayelitenga shamba lake anapenda kuliko, mboa, naye atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani, 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 Iwapo halikomboi shamba, au iwapo amishaliuza shamba kwa mtu mwingine, haliwezi kukombolewa tena.
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 Badala yake, shamba hilo litakapoachwa huru katika mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh, kama lilivyo shamba lililotolewa kabisa kwa Yahweh. Nalo litakuwa mali ya kuhani.
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 Iwapo mtu anatenga shamba alilolinunua, lakini hilo shamba siyo sehemu ya ardhi ya familia yake,
If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
23 kuhani atafanya tathmini yake mpaka mwaka wa Yubile, na mtu huyo lazima atalipa thamani yake katika siku hiyo hiyo kuwa zawadi takatifu kwa Yahweh.
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 litarejeshwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilikuwa limenunuliwa, kwa mmiliki wa ardhi.
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 Tathmani yote lazima ifanywe kwa uzani wa shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu. Gera ishirini kwa shekeli moja.
All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
26 Asiwepo mtu atakayetenga mzaliwa wa kwanza miongoni mwa wanyama, kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wanyama tayari ni mali ya Yahweh; iwe ni maksai au kondoo, ni wa Yahweh.
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 Na kama ni mnyama aliye najisi, kisha mmiliki wake anaweza kumnunua tena sawasawa na thamani yake, na sehemu ya tano lazima itaongezwa kwenye thamani hiyo. Na kama mnyama hakombolewi, naye atauzwa kwa thamani 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 Hakutakuwa na kitu amabacho mtu anakitoa kwa Yahweh, kutoka katika vyote alivyonavyo, iwe ni mwanadamu au mnyama, au ardhi ya familia yake, ambacho chaweza kuuzwa au kukombolewa. Kila kitu kitolewacho ni kitakatifu sana kwa Yahweh.
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 Hakuna fidia inayoweza kulipwa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyetolewa ili kuangamizwa. Mtu huyo sharti auawe
And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
30 Zaka yote iliyo ya ardhini, iwe nafaka ichipukayo juu ya ardhi au tunda kutoka kwenye miti, ni mali ya Yahweh. Ni takatifu kwa Yahweh.
All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.
31 Iwapo mtu anakomboa chochote cha zaka yake, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani yake.
And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
32 Na kwa kila mnyama wa kumi wa kundi la ng'ombe au la kondoo, yeyote anayepita chini ya fimbo ya mchungaji, atatengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
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 Mchungaji hatatafuta wanyma waliobora au wabaya kabisa, na haruhusiwi kubadili mnyama mmoja kwa mnyama mwingine. Iwapo anambadilisha kwa namna yoyote ile, kisha wote wawili yule wa kwanza na huyo aliyebadiliwa watakuwa watakatifu. Mnyama huyo atolewaye hawezi kukombolewa.'”
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 Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Yahweh alimpa Musa kwenye mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli.
These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
