27  I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te motuhia e te tangata, he mea ki taurangi, ma Ihowa nga tangata, me whakarite e koe nga moni.

A kia penei tau whakarite mo te tane e rua tekau ona tau, he maha ake ranei, a ono tekau noa nga tau, ara kia rima tekau nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe, hei te hekere o te wahi tapu.

A ki te mea he wahine, kia toru tekau nga hekere e whakaritea e koe.

A ki te mea e rima ona tau, tae noa atu ranei ki te rua tekau tau, na kia rua tekau nga hekere e whakaritea e koe mo te tane, kia tekau hoki nga hekere mo te wahine.

A, ki te mea kotahi tona marama a tae noa atu ranei ki te rima ona tau, na kia rima nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe mo te tane, kia toru nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe mo te wahine.

A ki te mea e ono tekau ona tau, he maha atu ranei; ki te mea he tane, kia kotahi tekau ma rima nga hekere e whakaritea e koe, kia kotahi tekau hoki nga hekere mo te wahine.

A ki te iti iho ona rawa i au i whakarite ai, na, me tu ia ki te aroaro o te tohunga, a me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga: kei nga mea e taea atu e te ringa o te tangata nana te ki taurangi te tikanga mo ta te tohunga e whakarite ai hei utu mona.

A, mehemea he kararehe no reira nei te whakahere a te tangata ki a Ihowa, ka tapu katoa nga mea o tena i homai e ia ma Ihowa.

10 Kaua e whakareretia ketia e ia, e whakawhitia ranei, he pai mo te kino, he kino ranei mo te pai: a ki te tupono ka whakawhitia e ia he kararehe ki tetahi kararehe, na ka tapu taua mea me te mea i whakawhitia ai.

11 A ki te mea he poke te kararehe, he mea e kore e whakaherea tetahi pera ma Ihowa, na ka whakaturia e ia te kararehe ki te aroaro o te tohunga:

12 A me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino: me waiho i tau i whakarite ai, e te tohunga.

13 Otiia ki te mea ia kia utua kia hoki ai, na me tapiri tona wahi whakarima ki tau i whakarite ai.

14 Ki te whakatapua ano e te tangata tona whare kia tapu ki a Ihowa, na me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino: ko ta te tohunga e whakarite ai, ka tuturu ki reira.

15 A ki te mea te kaiwhakatapu kia utua kia hoki ai tona whare, na me tapiri tona whakarima o te moni i whakaritea e koe, a ka riro i a ia.

16 A ki te whakatapua e te tangata mo Ihowa tetahi wahi mara o tona kainga, na kia rite ki nga purapura mo reira tau whakaritenga utu: kotahi te homa parei hei purapura, kia rima tekau hekere hiriwa.

17 Ki te mea no te tau tiupiri tana whakatapunga i tana mara, ka tuturu ano ki tau utu i whakarite ai.

18 Mehemea ia no muri i te tiupiri tana whakatapunga i tana mara, na ma te tohunga e tatau nga moni ki a ia, kia rite ki nga tau e toe ana ki te tau tiupiri, ka tango ai i roto i tau i whakarite ai.

19 A ki te mea te kaiwhakatapu o te mara kia utua kia hoki atu ai, na me tapiri tona whakarima o te moni i whakaritea e koe, a ka whakatuturutia mana.

20 A ki te kahore ia e utu kia hoki ai te mara, ki te mea ranei i hokona e ia te mara ki te tangata ke, e kore e utua kia hoki atu i muri iho:

21 Engari ka tapu te mara ki a Ihowa, ina riro atu i te tiupiri, he mara hoki i oti rawa; hei kainga tena mo te tohunga.

22 Ki te whakatapua ia e tetahi ki a Ihowa he mara i hokona mai e ia, ehara nei i te mara tupu nana:

23 Katahi ka taua e te tohunga ki a ia nga utu i whakaritea e koe mo te takiwa atu ki te tau tiupiri: a ka homai e ia tau i whakarite ai i taua rangi, he mea tapu hoki na Ihowa.

24 Ko a te tau tiupiri hoki ai te mara ki te tangata i hokona mai nei i a ia, ara ki te tangata nona te tuturutanga o te whenua.

25 Hei te hekere o te wahi tapu te tikanga mo au whakaritenga katoa: e rua tekau nga kera o te hekere kotahi.

26 Ko te matamua ia o nga kararehe, i meinga nei hei matamua ki a Ihowa, kaua ena e whakatapua e te tangata; ahakoa kau, hipi ranei: na Ihowa ena.

27 A ki te mea no nga kararehe poke, na kia rite ki tau whakaritenga tana utu mo te whakahokinga atu, me tapiri ano e ia tona whakarima; a ki te kahore e utua, e whakahokia, na me hoko; kia rite nga utu ki au i whakarite ai.

28 Kaua ia e hokona, e utua ranei kia hoki atu te mea i oti rawa, i tukua putia mai e te tangata ki a Ihowa i roto i ona taonga katoa, te tangata ranei, te kararehe ranei, te mara ranei o tona kainga tupu: he tino tapu ki a Ihowa nga mea katoa i ot i.

29 Ki te tukua putia mai tetahi tangata, he mea oti rawa, e kore e utua, e whakahokia; me whakamate rawa.

30 Me nga whakatekau katoa o te whenua, o te purapura ranei o te whenua, o nga hua ranei o te rakau, na Ihowa ena: he tapu ki a Ihowa.

31 A ki te mea te tangata kia utua, kia hoki ai etahi o ana whakatekau; me tapiri mai tetahi o ona wahi whakarima.

32 A ko nga whakatekau katoa o nga kau, o nga hipi, o nga mea katoa e haere mai ana i raro i te tokotoko, ka tapu tena whakatekau ki a Ihowa.

33 Kaua e tirohia iho e ia, wehe ai i te pai, i te kino, kaua ano hoki e whakawhitia: a ki te whakawhitia e ia, na ka tapu taua mea me tona utu ano; e kore e utua kia hoki.

34 Ko nga whakahau enei ki nga tama a Iharaira i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi ki Maunga Hinai.

Redeeming What Is the Lord’s

27 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow(A) to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels[a] of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel[b];(B) for a female, set her value at thirty shekels[c]; for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels[d](C) and of a female at ten shekels[e]; for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels[f](D) of silver and that of a female at three shekels[g] of silver; for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels[h] and of a female at ten shekels. If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay(E) the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value(F) according to what the one making the vow can afford.

“‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord,(G) such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.(H) 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one;(I) if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal(J)—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord—the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem(K) the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.(L)

14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it,(M) they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.

16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer[i] of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee,(N) the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain(O) until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,(P) they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(Q) it will become holy,(R) like a field devoted to the Lord;(S) it will become priestly property.

22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee,(T) and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought,(U) the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel,(V) twenty gerahs(W) to the shekel.

26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(X) whether an ox[j] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(Y) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.

28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[k](Z) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(AA) to the Lord.

29 “‘No person devoted to destruction[l] may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.(AB)

30 “‘A tithe(AC) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(AD) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(AE) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(AF) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(AG)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(AH) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(AI)’”

34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai(AJ) for the Israelites.(AK)
