Leviticus 27
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo qui votum fecerit, et spoponderit Deo animam suam, sub æstimatione dabit pretium.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
3 Si fuerit masculus a vigesimo anno usque ad sexagesimum annum, dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram Sanctuarii:
If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
4 si mulier, triginta.
If a woman, thirty.
5 A quinto autem anno usque ad vigesimum, masculus dabit viginti siclos: femina decem.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6 Ab uno mense usque ad annum quintum, pro masculo dabuntur quinque sicli: pro femina, tres.

7 Sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos: femina decem.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
8 Si pauper fuerit, et æstimationem reddere non valebit, stabit coram sacerdote: et quantum ille æstimaverit, et viderit eum posse reddere, tantum dabit.
If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 Animal autem, quod immolari potest Domino, si quis voverit, sanctum erit,
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,
10 et mutari non poterit, id est, nec melius malo, nec peius bono. quod si mutaverit: et ipsum quod mutatum est, et illud pro quo mutatum est, consecratum erit Domino.
And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 Animal immundum, quod immolari Domino non potest, si quis voverit, adducetur ante sacerdotem.
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12 qui iudicans utrum bonum an malum sit, statuet pretium.
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13 quod si dare voluerit is, qui offert, addet supra æstimationem quintam partem.
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14 Homo si voverit domum suam, et sanctificaverit Domino, considerabit eam sacerdos utrum bona an mala sit, et iuxta pretium, quod ab eo fuerit constitutum, venundabitur:
If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
15 sin autem ille qui voverat, voluerit redimere eam, dabit quintam partem æstimationis supra, et habebit domum.
But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.
16 Quod si agrum possessionis suæ voverit, et consecraverit Domino: iuxta mensuram sementis æstimabitur pretium. si triginta modiis hordei seritur terra, quinquaginta siclis venundetur argenti.
And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.
17 Si statim ab anno incipientis iubilei voverit agrum, quanto valere potest, tanto æstimabitur.
If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.

But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.

And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
21 quia cum iubilei venerit dies, sanctificatus erit Domino, et possessio consecrata ad ius pertinet sacerdotum.
For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
22 Si ager emptus est, et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino,

23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iubileum, pretium: et dabit ille qui voverat eum, Domino.
The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.

And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.

Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
29 Et omnis consecratio, quæ offertur ab homine, non redimetur, sed morte morietur.

It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.

These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
