3 Mosebog 27
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar nogen vil indfri et Løfte til HERREN med et Pengebeløb, et Løfte, der gælder Mennesker,
“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 saa skal Vurderingssummen for Mænd fra det tyvende til det tresindstyvende Aar være halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv efter hellig Vægt;
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 men for en Kvinde skal Vurderingssummen være tredive Sekel.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Fra det femte til det tyvende Aar skal Vurderingssummen for Mandspersoner være tyve Sekel, for Kvinder ti.
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 Fra den første Maaned til det femte Aar skal Vurderingssummen for et Drengebarn være fem Sekel Sølv, for et Pigebarn tre.
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 Fra det tresindstyvende Aar og opefter skal Vurderingssummen være femten Sekel, hvis det er en Mand, men ti, hvis det er en Kvinde.
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 Men hvis Vedkommende er for fattig til at udrede Vurderingssummen, skal man stille ham frem for Præsten, og Præsten skal foretage en Vurdering af ham; Præsten skal foretage Vurderingen saaledes, at han tager Hensyn til, hvad den, der har aflagt Løftet evner.
‘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 Hvis det drejer sig om Kvæg, hvoraf man kan bringe HERREN Offergave, saa skal alt, hvad man giver HERREN, være helligt;
‘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 man maa ikke erstatte eller ombytte det, hverken et bedre med et ringere eller et ringere med et bedre; men hvis man dog ombytter et Dyr med et andet, da skal ikke blot det, men ogsaa det, som det ombyttes med, være helligt.
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 Men er det et urent Dyr, af den Slags man ikke kan bringe HERREN som Offergave, skal man fremstille Dyret for Præsten,
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 og Præsten skal vurdere det, alt efter som det er godt eller daarligt; den Vurderingssum, Præsten fastsætter, skal gælde.
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 Men vil man selv indløse det, skal man foruden Vurderingssummen yderligere udrede en Femtedel.
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 Naar nogen helliger HERREN sit Hus som Helliggave, skal Præsten vurdere det, alt efter som det er godt eller daarligt, og det skal da staa til den Værdi, Præsten fastsætter.
‘[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 Men vil den, der har helliget Huset, selv indløse det, skal han betale Vurderingssummen med Tillæg af en Femtedel; saa skal det være hans.
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 Hvis nogen helliger HERREN noget af sin Arvejord, skal Vurderingssummen rette sig efter Udsæden: en Udsæd paa en Homer Byg skal regnes til halvtredsindstyve Sølvsekel.
‘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 Helliger han sin Jord fra Jubelaaret af, skal den staa til den fulde Vurderingssum;
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 helliger han den derimod i Tiden efter Jubelaaret, skal Præsten beregne ham Summen i Forhold til de Aar, der er tilbage til næste Jubelaar, saa der sker Fradrag i Vurderingssummen.
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 Vil da han, der har helliget Jorden, indløse den, skal han udrede Vurderingssummen med Tillæg af en Femtedel; saa gaar den over i hans Eje.
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 Men hvis han ikke indløser Jorden og alligevel sælger den til en anden, kan den ikke mere indløses;
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 da skal den, naar den i Jubelaaret bliver fri, være HERREN helliget paa samme Maade som en Mark, der er lagt Band paa, og tilfalde Præsten som Ejendom.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 Hvis nogen helliger HERREN Jord, han har købt, og som ikke hører til hans Arvejord,
‘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 skal Præsten udregne ham Vurderingssummen til næste Jubelaar, og han skal da straks erlægge Vurderingssummen som Helliggave til HERREN;
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 i Jubelaaret gaar Jorden saa tilbage til den Mand, han købte den af, hvis Arvejord den var.
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 Enhver Vurdering skal ske efter hellig Vægt, tyve Gera paa en Sekel.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 Ingen maa hellige HERREN noget af det førstefødte af Kvæget, da det som førstefødt allerede tilhører ham. Hvad enten det er et Stykke Hornkvæg eller Smaakvæg, tilhører det HERREN.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Hører det derimod til de urene Dyr, kan man løskøbe det efter Vurderingssummen med Tillæg af en Femtedel; indløses det ikke, skal det sælges for Vurderingssummen.
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 Intet, der er lagt Band paa, intet af, hvad nogen af sin Ejendom helliger HERREN ved at lægge Band derpaa, være sig Mennesker, Kvæg eller Arvejord, maa sælges eller indløses; alt, hvad der er lagt Band paa, er højhelligt, det tilhører HERREN.
‘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 Intet Menneske, der er lagt Band paa, maa løskøbes, det skal lide Døden.
‘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 Al Tiende af Landet, baade af Landets Sæd og Træernes Frugt, tilhører HERREN, det er helliget HERREN.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Hvis nogen vil indløse noget af sin Tiende, skal han yderligere udrede en Femtedel.
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 Hvad angaar al Tiende af Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, alt hvad der gaar under Staven, da skal hvert tiende Dyr være helliget HERREN.
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 Der maa ikke skelnes imellem gode og daarlige Dyr, og ingen Ombytning maa finde Sted; hvis nogen ombytter et Dyr, skal ikke blot det, men ogsaa det, som det ombyttes med, være helligt; det maa ikke indløses.
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 Det er de Bud, HERREN gav Moses til Israeliterne paa Sinaj Bjerg.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
