Levitiko 27

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOka fai ʻe ha tangata ha fuakava mamafa, ʻe ʻa Sihova ʻae tatau ʻoe meʻa ko ia te ke lau ʻe koe.

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 Pea ko hoʻo fakatatau ʻae tangata mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe onongofulu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ko hoʻo fakatatau ko e sikeli siliva ʻe fitungofulu, ʻo fakatatau ki he sikeli ʻoe faletapu.

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 Pea kapau ko e fefine ia, ko hoʻo fakatatau, ko e sikeli ʻe tolungofulu.

If a woman, thirty.

5 Pea kapau ko e taʻu ʻe nima ʻene motuʻa ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe uofulu, pea ko hoʻo fakatatau ki he tangata ko e sikeli ʻe uofulu, pea ki he fefine ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu.

But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.

6 Pea kapau ko e māhina pe taha ʻene motuʻa ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nima ʻene motuʻa, pea ko hoʻo fakatatau ki he tangata ko e sikeli siliva ʻe nima, pea ko hoʻo fakatatau ki he fefine ko e sikeli siliva ʻe tolu.

From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.

7 Pea kapau ʻoku onongofulu taʻu mo e taʻu niʻihi ʻene motuʻa; kapau ko e tangata, ko hoʻo fakatatau ki ai ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu ma nima, pea ki he fefine ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu.

A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.

8 Pea kapau ʻoku masiva ʻaupito ia ʻi he meʻa kuo ke lau, pea te ne fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea ʻe fakatatau ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki; pea ke fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi heʻene fakatatau, ʻo taau mo hono mafai ʻo ia ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava.

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 Pea kapau ko e manu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻo ʻatu kia Sihova, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku foaki ʻe ha tangata ʻi he meʻa pehē kia Sihova ʻe tapu ia.

But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,

10 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ne fakakehe ia, pe fetongi ia, ʻae lelei ki he kovi, pe ha kovi ki he lelei: pea kapau ʻoku ne fetongi ʻae manu ʻaki ʻae manu, pea ko ia mo ia naʻe fetongi ʻaki ia ʻe fakatou tapu ia.

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 Pea kapau ko e manu taʻemaʻa ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tenau fai ʻaki ha feilaulau kia Sihova, te ne toki ʻatu ʻae manu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe taulaʻeiki:

An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:

12 Pea ke fakatatau ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, pe ʻoku lelei pe ʻoku kovi: pea hangē ko hoʻo fakatatau ʻe koe ʻoku taulaʻeiki ko ia pe ʻe fai.

Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:

13 Pea kapau ʻoku loto ia ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia hono nima ʻoe vahe ki hoʻo fakatatau.

Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.

14 Pea kapau ʻoku fakatapui ʻe ha tangata hono fale ke māʻoniʻoni ia kia Sihova, pea ke fakatatau ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, he ʻoku lelei ia pe kovi: pea hangē ko ia ʻoku fakatatau ia ki ai, ʻe maʻu pe ia.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku loto ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui ia ke huhuʻi hono fale, pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia hono nima ʻoe vahe ʻoe koloa ʻo hoʻo fakatatau, pea ʻe ʻoʻona ia.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku fakatapui ʻe ha tangata kia Sihova ha potu ngoue ʻi hono potu fonua, pea ko hoʻo fakatatau, ʻe fakatatau ki he tenga ʻo ia: ko e oma ʻe taha ʻoe tengaʻi paʻale ʻe fakatatau ia ki he sikeli siliva ʻe nimangofulu.

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 Kapau ʻoku ne fakatapu ʻene ngoue mei he taʻu ʻoe siupeli, ʻe tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo tatau mo hoʻo fakatatau.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku ne fakatapui ʻene ngoue ka kuo hili ʻae siupeli, pea ʻe lau ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae paʻanga kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoku toe, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli, pea ʻe fakasiʻisiʻi ia mei hoʻo fakatatau.

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 Pea ko ia naʻa ne fakatapui ʻae ngoue, kapau ʻoku tokanga ia ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fakalahi ʻaki ʻe ia ia hono vahe nima ʻoe koloa ʻo hoʻo fakatatau, pea ʻe hoko ia kiate ia.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai loto ia ke huhuʻi ʻae ngoue, pea kapau kuo ne fakatau ia ki he tangata ʻe taha, ʻe ʻikai toe huhuʻi ia.

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 Ka ko e ngoue ʻi hono tukuange ʻi he siupeli, ʻe tapu ia kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ha ngoue kuo fakatapui: ʻe hoko ia ke ʻoe taulaʻeiki.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku ne fakatapui kia Sihova ʻae ngoue naʻa ne fakatau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻo hono tofiʻa;

If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,

23 Pea ʻe toki lau kiate ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki hono fakatatau, ʻio, ʻo hoko ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli: pea te ne ʻatu ʻe ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia hoʻo fakatatau, ko e meʻa tapu kia Sihova.

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 Pea ʻi he taʻu ʻoe siupeli ʻe toe hoko ʻae ngoue kiate ia naʻe fakatau ia mei ai, ʻio, kiate ia naʻe ʻoʻona ʻae potu fonua ko ia.

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 Pea ʻe fai ʻo taau mo e sikeli ʻoe faletapu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakatatau kotoa pē: ʻi he sikeli ʻe taha ʻae kela ʻe uofulu.

All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

26 Ka ko e ngaahi ʻuluaki fānau ʻae fanga manu, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke ʻa Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki tupu, ke ʻoua naʻa fakatapui ia ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha; pe ko e pulu ia, pe ko ha sipi; ʻoku ʻa Sihova ia.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he manu taʻemaʻa ia, pea ʻe huhuʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo fakatatau, pea te ne fakalahi ʻaki ia hono nima ʻo hono vahe ʻo ia: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia, pea ʻe fakatau ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fakatatau.

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 Ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fakatau pe huhuʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻaia kuo fakatapui ʻe ha tangata kia Sihova ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻi he tangata, pe ʻi he manu, pe ʻi he ngoue ʻo hono potu fonua: ko e meʻa fakatapui kotoa pē ʻoku māʻoniʻoni lahi ia kia Sihova.

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 ‌ʻE ʻikai huhuʻi ha meʻa kuo fakatapui ʻaia kuo fakatapu ʻe he tangata ka ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.

And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.

30 Pea ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pe ko e meʻa ʻi he tenga ʻoe fonua, pe ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻoe ʻakau ʻoku ʻa Sihova ia: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia kia Sihova.

All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.

31 Pea kapau ʻoku tokanga ʻe ha tangata ke huhuʻi ʻae meʻa niʻihi ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe, ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻe ia ia hono nima ʻoe vahe ʻo ia.

And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.

32 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻi he fanga manu lalahi, pe ʻi he fanga manu siʻi, ʻio, ʻi he manu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi lalo ʻi he vaʻakau, ʻe māʻoniʻoni hono hongofulu kia Sihova.

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 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ne kumi ke ʻilo pe ʻoku lelei pe ʻoku kovi ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fetongi ia: pea kapau ʻoku ne fetongi ia, pea ko ia mo ia naʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻe fakatou māʻoniʻoni ia; ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia.

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 Ko eni ʻae ngaahi fekau, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.

These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
