Mambo ya Walawi 27
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na akasema,
And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the LORD, according to thy valuation,
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.
then thy valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 Kwa mwanamke wa umri uleule viwango vyenu vya thamani yapasa viwe shekeli thelathini vya fedha.
And if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirty shekels.
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,
And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
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.
And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
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.
And if it be from sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
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.
But if he be too poor for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 Iwapo mtu anataka kutoa sadaka ya mnyama kwa Yahweh, na iwapo Yahweh ataikubali, kisha huyo mnyama atatengwa kwake.
And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD 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.
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
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.
And if it be any unclean beast, of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before the priest.
12 Kuhani atamthamanisha, kwa thamani ya soko la mnyama. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoiweka juu ya mnyama, hiyo ndiyo itakuwa thamani yake.
And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be.
13 Na kama mmiliki anapenda kumkomboa, kisha tano ya thamani yake itaongezwa kwenye gharama yake ya ukombozi.
But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy valuation.
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.
And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
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.
And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.
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 a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 Na kama analitenga shamba lake katika mwaka wa Yubile, tathmini yake ya awali itabaki kuwa ileile.
If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation it shall stand.
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 he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy valuation.
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 sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
20 Iwapo halikomboi shamba, au iwapo amishaliuza shamba kwa mtu mwingine, haliwezi kukombolewa tena.
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed 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.
But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
22 Iwapo mtu anatenga shamba alilolinunua, lakini hilo shamba siyo sehemu ya ardhi ya familia yake,
And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;
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.
then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
24 Katika mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarejeshwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilikuwa limenunuliwa, kwa mmiliki wa ardhi.
In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth.
25 Tathmani yote lazima ifanywe kwa uzani wa shekeli ya mahali pa patakatifu. Gera ishirini kwa shekeli moja.
And all thy valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
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.
Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which is born as a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is 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 of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy valuation.
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.
Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
29 Hakuna fidia inayoweza kulipwa kwa ajili ya mtu aliyetolewa ili kuangamizwa. Mtu huyo sharti auawe
None devoted, that may be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
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.
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy unto the LORD.
31 Iwapo mtu anakomboa chochote cha zaka yake, atalazimika kuongeza sehemu ya tano kwenye thamani yake.
And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof.
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.
And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto 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.'”
He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34 Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Yahweh alimpa Musa kwenye mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli.
These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
