Levitiko 27
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 people of Israel and say to them, 'If anyone makes a special vow to Yahweh, use the following valuations.
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.
Your standard value for a male from twenty to sixty years old must be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 Pea kapau ko e fefine ia, ko hoʻo fakatatau, ko e sikeli ʻe tolungofulu.
For a female of the same ages your standard value must be thirty shekels.
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.
From five years to twenty years old your standard value for a male must be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
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 old to five years your standard value for a male must be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels of silver.
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.
From sixty years old and up for a male your standard value must be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
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.
But if the person making the vow cannot pay the standard value, then the person being given must be presented to the priest, and the priest will value that person by the amount the one making the vow is able to afford.
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.
If someone wants to sacrifice an animal to Yahweh, and if Yahweh accepts it, then that animal will be set apart to him.
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.
The person must not alter or change such an animal, a good one for a bad one or a bad for a good. If he does at all change one animal for another, then both it and the one for which it is exchanged become holy.
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:
However, if what the person has vowed to give Yahweh is in fact unclean, so that Yahweh will not accept it, then the person must bring the animal to a 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.
The priest will value it, by the market value of the animal. Whatever value the priest places on the animal, that will be its value.
13 Pea kapau ʻoku loto ia ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia hono nima ʻoe vahe ki hoʻo fakatatau.
If the owner wishes to redeem it, then a fifth of its value is to be added to its redemption price.
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.
When a man sets apart his house as a holy gift to Yahweh, then the priest will set its value as either good or bad. Whatever the priest values it, so it will be.
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 the owner who set apart his home wishes to redeem it, he must add a fifth of its value to its redemption price, and it will belong to him.
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.
If a man sets apart some of his own land, then the valuation of it will be in proportion to the amount of seed required to plant it—a homer of barley will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 Kapau ʻoku ne fakatapu ʻene ngoue mei he taʻu ʻoe siupeli, ʻe tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo tatau mo hoʻo fakatatau.
If he sets apart his field during the year of Jubilee, the valuation of it will stand.
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 he sets apart his field after the year of Jubilee, then the priest must calculate the value of the field by the number of years that remain until the next year of Jubilee, and the valuation of it must be reduced.
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.
If the man who set apart the field wishes to redeem it, then he must add a fifth to the valuation, and it will belong to him.
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.
If he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed 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.
Instead, the field, when it is released in the year of Jubilee, will be a holy gift to Yahweh, like the field that has been completely given to Yahweh. It will belong to the priest.
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 man sets apart a field that he has bought, but that field is not part of his family's land,
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.
then the priest will figure the valuation of it up to the year of Jubilee, and the man must pay its value on that day as a holy gift to Yahweh.
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.
In the year of Jubilee, the field will return to the man from whom it was bought, to the land's owner.
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 the valuations must be set by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Twenty gerahs must be the equivalent of one shekel.
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.
No one may set apart the firstborn among animals, since the firstborn already belongs to Yahweh; whether ox or sheep, it is Yahweh'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.
If it is an unclean animal, then the owner may buy it back at the valuation of it, and a fifth must be added to that value. If the animal is not redeemed, then it is to be sold at the set value.
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.
But nothing that a man devotes to Yahweh, from all that he has, whether human or animal, or his family land, may be sold or redeemed. Everything that is devoted is very holy to Yahweh.
29 ʻE ʻikai huhuʻi ha meʻa kuo fakatapui ʻaia kuo fakatapu ʻe he tangata ka ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
No ransom may be paid for the person who is devoted for destruction. That person must be put to death.
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 the tithe of the land, whether grain grown on the land or fruit from the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh.
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.
If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
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.
As for every tenth of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd's rod, one-tenth must be set apart to Yahweh.
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.
The shepherd must not search for the better or the worse animals, and he must not substitute one for another. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed will be holy. It cannot 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 commandments that Yahweh gave at Mount Sinai to Moses for the people of Israel.
