3 Mose 27
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ onipa bi hyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde obi bɛma Awurade a, na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔtua sika mmom a,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,
3 ɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson ama ɔbarima a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi mfeɛ aduosia,
then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.
4 sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a wadi mfeɛ aduonu kɔsi aduosia a, wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahasa ne aduanan,
And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;
5 abarimaa a wadi mfeɛ enum kɔsi aduonu no nso wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ahanu ne aduasa. Sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a, wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;
6 Abarimaa a wadi bosome kɔsi mfeɛ enum no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram 60; na abaayewa nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram 35.
and if from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;
7 Ɔbarima a wadi boro mfeɛ aduosia no wɔbɛtua dwetɛ gram ɔha aduɔson; na ɔbaa nso wɔatua dwetɛ gram ɔha ne dunum.
and if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your valuation has been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.
8 Na sɛ obi yɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntua saa sika yi a, ɔde saa onipa no bɛba ɔsɔfoɔ anim, na ɔsɔfoɔ no akyerɛ no sika a ɔbɛtumi atua.
And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.
9 “‘Sɛ ɔde aboa hyɛ bɔ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛfata ma Awurade a, saa aboa no a ɔde ama Awurade no bɛyɛ kronkron.
And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is holy;
10 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsesa saa aboa no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde deɛ ɛyɛ sesa deɛ ɛnyɛ anaa sɛ ɔde deɛ ɛnyɛ sesa deɛ ɛyɛ. Sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔyɛ saa nsesayɛ yi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ mmoa mmienu no nyinaa ho te.
he does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy.
11 Sɛ aboa a ɔde rema Awurade no ho nte na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde yɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne wura no de brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ.
And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,
12 Ɔno na ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ aboa no di mu anaa sɛ ɔnte saa, na wakyerɛ sika dodoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua de si aboa no anan.
and the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so it is;
13 Sɛ aboa no yɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔdeɛ nanso onipa a ɔde no reba no pɛ sɛ ɔsane gye nʼadeɛ a, ɔbɛtua sika ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ɛboɔ a ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛtwa ama no sɛ ɔntua no ho.
and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.
14 “‘Sɛ obi de ne fie ma Awurade na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsane gye a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛsese ne boɔ a ɔnte so,
And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;
15 na saa onipa no atua, asane atua ɛbo korɔ no ara ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na efie no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.
16 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔde nʼabusua asase fa bi bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, wɔbɛgyina aba kɛntɛnma dodoɔ a ɛbɛhia sɛ wɔbɛdua wɔ so no so atwa asase no boɔ; aba kɛntɛnma biara boɔ yɛ dwetɛ gram ahanum ne aduɔson.
And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
17 Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, sɛ obi de nʼafuo kyɛ a, ne boɔ no rensesa.
if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;
18 Na sɛ ɔde asase no ma wɔ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no akyi a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ansa na Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a ɛdi so no so asese ne boɔ, na wɔbɛtumi ate so.
and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.
19 Na sɛ ɔbarima no pɛ sɛ ɔgye nʼasase a, ɔsɔfoɔ no boɔ a ɔbɛbɔ no, ɔbɛtua ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho ansa na asase no abɛyɛ ne dea bio.
And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him;
20 Na sɛ nso ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔgye asase no bio, anaasɛ sɛ watɔn asase no ama obi foforɔ a, ɛnneɛ wɔrentumi nnye bio.
and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;
21 Sɛ wɔdane asase no ma wɔ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no mu a, ɛbɛyɛ asase kronkron. Wɔde ato hɔ ama Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no agyapadeɛ.
and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.
22 “‘Sɛ obi bi de asase a watɔ ma Awurade, na sɛ asase no nyɛ nʼabusua asase a,
And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,
23 ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina mfeɛ a aka ama wɔadi Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no so asese ne boɔ. Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no tua ɛboɔ no ɛda no ara, na ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;
24 Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no duru so a, asase no bɛsane akɔ deɛ ɔtɔneɛ no nkyɛn anaasɛ deɛ na ɔyɛ asase no wura no.
in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.
25 Wɔbɛsese ɛho ka no nyinaa wɔ nnwetɛbena a wɔgye wɔ hyiadan mu, a ɛyɛ gram dubaako.
And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.
26 “‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de aboa bi abakan ma Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ abakan biara, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwie anaa odwan no, yɛ Awurade dea dada.
Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.
27 Sɛ ɔyɛ mmoa a wɔn ho nteɛ no bi a, onipa no bɛtumi atua ne boɔ no, na ɔde ɛboɔ no mu nkyɛmu enum mu baako aka ho. Sɛ onipa no antɔ bio deɛ a, wɔbɛtɔn aboa no sɛdeɛ ne boɔ teɛ.
And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.
28 “‘Adeɛ biara a wɔde ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, mmoa anaa abusuasase no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaa wɔsane gye, ɛfiri sɛ, biribiara a ɛte saa no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
Only, no devoted thing which a man devotes to YHWH of all that he has, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.
29 “‘Onipa biara a Awurade ayi no asi nkyɛn ama ɔsɛeɛ no, wɔmmfa biribi ntua ne tiri ka. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
30 “‘Asase no so nnɔbaeɛ nkyɛmu edu mu baako, sɛ ɛyɛ aburoo anaa aduaba no yɛ Awurade dea. Ɛyɛ kronkron.
And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.
31 Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔsane tɔ saa aduaba anaa aburoo no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne boɔ nkyɛmu enum mu baako ka ho.
And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.
32 Anantwie ne nnwan no ntotosoɔ dudu nyinaa, aboa biara a ɔtɔ so edu a ɔfa odwanhwɛfoɔ nsam no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock—all that passes by under the rod—the tenth is holy to YHWH;
33 Aboa a ɔtɔ so edu a wɔde bɛma Awurade no, wɔnhwɛ sɛ ɔyɛ anaa ɔnyɛ, na wɔmmfa biribiara nsi nʼananmu, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔde biribiara si ananmu a, ne nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron, a obiara rentumi nnye bio.’”
he does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”
34 Yeinom ne mmara a Awurade de maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no.
These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
