Vow and Sacred Dedication Dem

Tins wey dem dedicate give our Papa get money value — person by age, animal, house, farm wey dem count against di Jubilee wey dey come — and dem go add one fifth to buy anytin back. Dem no fit dedicate di firstborn and di tithe at all: na im own dem be already.

Chapter 27.

Our Papa talk give Moses, say:

"Talk give Israel: When person make special vow give me, dey dedicate somebody by di value wey match am, if di valuation na for man from twenty years old go reach sixty years old, di value na 1.2 pounds of silver, according to di sanctuary standard. If na woman, di valuation go be like twelve ounces. For age five go reach twenty, di valuation na like eight ounces for man and like four ounces for woman. If na from one month go reach five years old, di valuation na like two ounces of silver for man and like one.two ounces for woman. If na sixty or older, di valuation na like six ounces for man, four ounces for woman. But if di person too poor pass di valuation, dem go bring am come stand for front of di priest, and di priest go set im value; di priest go value am according to wetin di one wey make di vow fit afford.

"If di vow na animal wey dem fit offer give me, every one wey dem give me like dat na holy. E no must swap am or change am, better one for bad one or bad one for better one; if e change one animal for another, di two—am and di one wey e take change am—go become holy. If na any unclean animal wey dem no fit offer give me, dem go bring am come stand for front of di priest, di priest go set im value, whether e good or e bad; as di priest value am, na so e go be. But if e wan buy am back, e go add one-fifth join di valuation.

"When person dedicate im house make e holy give me, di priest go set im value, whether e good or e bad; as di priest value am, na so e go stand. If di one wey dedicate im house wan buy am back, e go add one-fifth of im value for silver, and e go be im own.

"If person dedicate give me part of field wey e get, im value go follow di seed wey dem plant for am—like 1.2 pounds of silver for six bushels of barley seed. If e dedicate im field from di Year of Jubilee, e go stand for di full valuation. But if e dedicate im field afta di Jubilee, di priest go calculate di price by di years wey remain reach di next Jubilee, and go bring di valuation come down make e match. If di one wey dedicate di field wan buy am back, e must add one-fifth of im silver value, and e go still be im own. But if e no buy di field back, or e don sell am give another person, dem no fit buy am back again. When dem release di field for di Jubilee, e go become holy give me, like field wey dem devote; e go belong to di priest as im property.

"If person dedicate give me field wey e buy, wey no be part of di land wey im papa-papa leave for am, di priest go calculate di valuation reach di Year of Jubilee, and e go pay am dat same day as something wey holy give me. For di Year of Jubilee di field go go back to di one wey e buy am from, di person wey di land belong to. Every valuation go dey according to di sanctuary standard.

"Nobody fit dedicate di firstborn of any animal; e don already belong to me—whether na cow or na sheep, na my own. If na unclean animal, e go buy am back for di valuation plus one-fifth; if dem no buy am back, dem go sell am for di valuation.

"But anything wey person devote give me by ban—whether na human being, animal, or field wey e get—dem no fit sell am or buy am back. Everything wey dem devote so na most holy give me. a a v28 Something wey dem "devote by ban" na something wey dem hand over give our Papa wey no fit change again — dem set am apart so complete-complete sotay dem no fit ever buy am back or sell am.

"No person wey dem devote under di ban fit buy back; dem must kill am.

"Every tithe of di land, whether na from di seed of di ground or di fruit of di trees, na my own; e holy give me. If anybody wan buy back part of im one-tenth, e go add one-fifth join am. Every one-tenth of di herd and flock—every animal wey dey pass under di shepherd im rod—na holy give me. E no must check whether e good or e bad, and e no must change am; if e do so, di two—am and di one wey e take change am—go become holy and dem no fit buy am back."

Na dis be di commandment dem wey our Papa give Moses for di people of Israel for Mount Sinai.
