3 Mose 27
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ otua sika mmom a,
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 obetua dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfe aduonu kosi mfe aduosia,
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 sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a wadi mfe aduonu kosi aduosia a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ahaasa ne aduanan,
If a woman, thirty.
5 abarimaa a wadi mfe anum kosi aduonu no nso wobetua dwetɛ gram ahannu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea a, wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6 Abarimaa a wadi ɔsram kosi mfe anum no wobetua dwetɛ gram 60; na ɔbabea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
7 Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfe aduosia no wobetua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduoson; na ɔbea nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
8 Na sɛ obi yɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntua saa sika yi a, ɔde saa onipa no bɛba ɔsɔfo anim, na ɔsɔfo no akyerɛ no sika a obetumi atua.
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 “‘Sɛ ɔde aboa hyɛ bɔ sɛ afɔrebɔde a ɛfata ma Awurade a, saa aboa no a ɔde ama Awurade no bɛyɛ kronkron.
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,
10 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsesa saa aboa no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde nea eye sesa nea enye anaa sɛ ɔde nea enye sesa nea eye. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesae yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa abien no nyinaa ho tew.
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 Sɛ aboa a ɔde rema Awurade no ho ntew na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfo,
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12 na wahwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ onni mu, na wakyerɛ sika dodow a ɛsɛ sɛ otua de si aboa no anan.
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13 Sɛ aboa no yɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔre nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye nʼade a, obetua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka bo a ɔsɔfo no betwa ama no sɛ ontua no ho.
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14 “‘Sɛ obi de ne fi ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsese ahu sɛ eye anaasɛ enye. Bo biara a ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua.
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 Sɛ nea ɔde ofi no mae no pɛ sɛ ɔsan gye a ɛsɛ sɛ otua ne bo no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho na ama ofi no asan abɛyɛ ne de.
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 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔde nʼabusua asase fa bi bɔ afɔre ma Awurade a, wobegyina aba kɛntɛnma dodow a ebehia sɛ wobedua wɔ so no so atwa asase no bo; aba kɛntɛnma biara bo yɛ dwetɛ gram ahannum ne aduoson.
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 Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuw kyɛ a, ne bo no rensesa.
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 Na sɛ ɔde asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ansa na Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a edi so no so asese ne bo no, na wobetumi atew so.
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 Na sɛ ɔbarima no pɛ sɛ ogye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfo no bo a ɔbɛbɔ no, obetua ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na asase no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
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 Na sɛ nso ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ogye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforo a, ɛno de, wɔrentumi nnye bio.
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 Sɛ wɔdan asase no ma wɔ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde bɛto hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfo no agyapade.
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 “‘Sɛ obi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
23 ɔsɔfo no begyina mfe a aka ama wɔadi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne bo. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ka no da no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔde kronkron ma Awurade.
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 Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du so a, asase no bɛsan akɔ nea ɔtɔnee no anaasɛ nea na ɔyɛ asase no wura no nkyɛn.
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 Wɔbɛsese ho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbona a wogye wɔ hyiadan mu no ho, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
26 “‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, efisɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwi anaa oguan no, yɛ Awurade de dedaw.
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 Sɛ ɔyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho ntew no bi a, onipa no betumi atua ne bo no, na ɔde ɛbo no ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio de a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛnea ne bo te.
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 “‘Ade biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsan gye, efisɛ biribiara a ɛte saa no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
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 “‘Onipa biara a Awurade ayi no ama ɔsɛe no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne ti ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
30 “‘Asase no so nnɔbae nkyɛmu du mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburow anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.
31 Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔsan tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburow no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne bo nkyɛmu anum mu baako ka ho.
And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
32 Anantwi ne nguan no ntotoso du du nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔto so du a ɔfa oguanhwɛfo nsam no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
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 Aboa a ɔto so du a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnnhwɛ sɛ oye anaa onye, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼanan mu, efisɛ sɛ wɔde biribiara si anan mu a, ne nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron, a obiara rentumi nnye bio.’”
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 Eyinom ne ahyɛde a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfo no.
These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
