利未記 27
1 耶和華對摩西說：
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 「你曉諭以色列人說：人還特許的願，被許的人要按你所估的價值歸給耶和華。
“Tell the Israeli people [that this is what I am saying to them]: If anyone solemnly promises to dedicate another person to [work solely] for me, the person who is dedicated to me is allowed to be free from having to do that by someone paying [to the priest] a fixed amount of money. The money that is given must be calculated by comparing it with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
3 你估定的，從二十歲到六十歲的男人，要按聖所的平，估定價銀五十舍客勒。
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 若是女人，你要估定三十舍客勒。
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 若是從五歲到二十歲，男子你要估定二十舍客勒，女子估定十舍客勒。
20 pieces of silver for young men who are between five and 20 years old, ten pieces of silver for young women who are between five and 20 years old,
6 若是從一月到五歲，男子你要估定五舍客勒，女子估定三舍客勒。
five pieces of silver for boys who are between one month and five years old, three pieces of silver for girls who are between one month and five years old,
7 若是從六十歲以上，男人你要估定十五舍客勒，女人估定十舍客勒。
15 pieces of silver for men who are more than 60 years old, ten pieces of silver for women who are more than 60 years old.
8 他若貧窮，不能照你所估定的價，就要把他帶到祭司面前，祭司要按許願人的力量估定他的價。
‘If anyone who has made such a solemn promise is very poor and unable to pay, to free that person from doing what he had promised, he must take that person to the priest. The priest will set the price [for freeing him] to be what the person who made that solemn promise is able to pay.
9 「所許的若是牲畜，就是人獻給耶和華為供物的，凡這一類獻給耶和華的，都要成為聖。
‘If someone solemnly promises to give an animal that is acceptable to be an offering to me, that animal becomes sacred [and belongs to me].
10 人不可改換，也不可更換，或是好的換壞的，或是壞的換好的。若以牲畜更換牲畜，所許的與所換的都要成為聖。
The person who promised to give it must not give another animal instead of the one that he promised; he must not substitute a bad animal for a good one or even a better one than the one offered. If he would substitute one animal for the other, both animals would belong to me.
11 若牲畜不潔淨，是不可獻給耶和華為供物的，就要把牲畜安置在祭司面前。
If the animal that he wishes to dedicate to me is a kind that is unacceptable to be an offering to me, he must take that animal to the priest.
12 祭司就要估定價值；牲畜是好是壞，祭司怎樣估定，就要以怎樣為是。
The priest will then decide what its value is, according to the animal’s good and bad points. Whatever value the priests sets will be the value of the animal, [and that is the price that the priest must pay for the animal].
13 他若一定要贖回，就要在你所估定的價值以外加上五分之一。
If the man who gave the animal later decides that he wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] that price plus an additional 20 percent.
14 「人將房屋分別為聖，歸給耶和華，祭司就要估定價值。房屋是好是壞，祭司怎樣估定，就要以怎樣為定。
‘[Similarly], if someone dedicates his house to be a sacred gift to belong to me, the priest will decide how much it is worth, which will depend on whether the house is in good condition. Whatever the priest says that it is worth, that will be its value [and that is the price that the priest must pay for it].
15 將房屋分別為聖的人，若要贖回房屋，就必在你所估定的價值以外加上五分之一，房屋仍舊歸他。
If the man who dedicated his house to me later wants to buy it back, he must pay that price plus an additional 20 percent, and then the house will belong to him again.
16 「人若將承受為業的幾分地分別為聖，歸給耶和華，你要按這地撒種多少估定價值，若撒大麥一賀梅珥，要估價五十舍客勒。
‘If someone dedicates to me some of the property that belongs to him and his family, its value will be determined by the number of bushels of seed that will be needed to plant seeds on that land: Its value will be ten pieces of silver for each bushel of seed.
17 他若從禧年將地分別為聖，就要以你所估定的價為定。
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 倘若他在禧年以後將地分別為聖，祭司就要按着未到禧年所剩的年數推算價值，也要從你所估的減去價值。
But if he dedicates the field after the Year of Celebration, the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration, and if there are not many years that remain, the price will be much lower [than the full price].
19 將地分別為聖的人若定要把地贖回，他便要在你所估的價值以外加上五分之一，地就准定歸他。
If the person who dedicated the field later wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] the price that the priest says it is worth, plus an added one-fifth, and then the field will belong to that man again.
20 他若不贖回那地，或是將地賣給別人，就再不能贖了。
However, if he does not buy it back, or if it has been sold (OR, the priest has sold it) to someone else, that person will never be permitted to buy it back again.
21 但到了禧年，那地從買主手下出來的時候，就要歸耶和華為聖，和永獻的地一樣，要歸祭司為業。
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 他若將所買的一塊地，不是承受為業的，分別為聖歸給耶和華，
‘If someone dedicates to me some land that he has bought, land which is not part of the land that his family has always owned,
23 祭司就要將你所估的價值給他推算到禧年。當日，他要以你所估的價銀為聖，歸給耶和華。
the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration to determine how much it is worth, and the man must pay that amount to the priest on that day, [and then that land will belong to that man again].
24 到了禧年，那地要歸賣主，就是那承受為業的原主。
But in the Year of Celebration, the land will again be owned by the person from whom he bought it, the person whose family had always owned that land.
25 凡你所估定的價銀都要按着聖所的平：二十季拉為一舍客勒。
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 「惟獨牲畜中頭生的，無論是牛是羊，既歸耶和華，誰也不可再分別為聖，因為這是耶和華的。
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 若是不潔淨的牲畜生的，就要按你所估定的價值加上五分之一贖回；若不贖回，就要按你所估定的價值賣了。
If someone gives to me a kind of animal that is not acceptable to me, that person may later buy it back by paying what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent of its value. If he does not buy it back, it must be sold (OR, the priest must sell it) for its standard price.
28 「但一切永獻的，就是人從他所有永獻給耶和華的，無論是人，是牲畜，是他承受為業的地，都不可賣，也不可贖。凡永獻的是歸給耶和華為至聖。
‘However, no slave or animal or family land that someone owns can be sold or bought back after it has been dedicated to me [and no price has been paid for it]. That kind of gift belongs to me permanently/forever.
29 凡從人中當滅的都不可贖，必被治死。」
‘No person who has [done something that I consider to be very wicked] is permitted to be freed [from being punished]; that person must surely be executed.
30 「地上所有的，無論是地上的種子是樹上的果子，十分之一是耶和華的，是歸給耶和華為聖的。
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 人若要贖這十分之一的甚麼物，就要加上五分之一。
If anyone wants to buy back any of that tenth, he must pay [to the priest] what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent.
32 凡牛群羊群中，一切從杖下經過的，每第十隻要歸給耶和華為聖。
One of every ten domestic animals belongs to me. When a shepherd counts his animals [MTY] [to decide which ones he will give to me], he must mark every tenth one as belonging to me.
33 不可問是好是壞，也不可更換；若定要更換，所更換的與本來的牲畜都要成為聖，不可贖回。」
When he does that, he must not pick out the good ones for himself or leave the bad ones, or substitute bad ones for good ones. If he substitutes one animal for another, both animals will belong to me, and he will not be permitted to buy them back (OR, the shepherd cannot buy them back).’”
34 這就是耶和華在西奈山為以色列人所吩咐摩西的命令。
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
