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 aestimatione dabit pretium.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your estimation.

3 Si fuerit masculus a vigesimo anno usque ad sexagesimum annum, dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram Sanctuarii:

And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

4 si mulier, triginta.

And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.

5 A quinto autem anno usque ad vigesimum, masculus dabit viginti siclos: femina decem.

And if it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

6 Ab uno mense usque ad annum quintum, pro masculo dabuntur quinque sicli: pro femina, tres.

And if it be from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

7 Sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos: femina decem.

And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8 Si pauper fuerit, et aestimationem reddere non valebit, stabit coram sacerdote: et quantum ille aestimaverit, et viderit eum posse reddere, tantum dabit.

But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

9 Animal autem, quod immolari potest Domino, si quis voverit, sanctum erit,

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD 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.

He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 Animal immundum, quod immolari Domino non potest, si quis voverit, adducetur ante sacerdotem.

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

12 qui diiudicans utrum bonum an malum sit, statuet pretium.

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you value it, who are the priest, so shall it be.

13 quod si dare voluerit is, qui offert, addet supra aestimationem quintam partem.

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof to your estimation.

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:

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 sin autem ille qui voverat, voluerit redimere eam, dabit quintam partem aestimationis supra, et habebit domum.

And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his.

16 Quod si agrum possessionis suae voverit, et consecraverit Domino: iuxta mensuram sementis aestimabitur pretium. si triginta modiis hordei seritur terra, quinquaginta siclis venundetur argenti.

And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 Si statim ab anno incipientis iubilei voverit agrum, quanto valere potest, tanto aestimabitur.

If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand.

18 sin autem post aliquantum temporis: supputabit sacerdos pecuniam iuxta annorum, qui reliqui sunt, numerum usque ad iubileum, et detrahetur ex pretio.

But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from your estimation.

19 Quod si voluerit redimere agrum ille, qui voverat, addet quintam partem aestimatae pecuniae, et possidebit eum.

And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.

20 Sin autem noluerit redimere, sed alteri cuilibet fuerit venundatus, ultra eum qui voverat redimere non poterit:

And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 quia cum iubilei venerit dies, sanctificatus erit Domino, et possessio consecrata ad ius pertinet sacerdotum.

But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

22 Si ager emptus est, et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino,

And if a man sanctify to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iubileum, pretium: et dabit ille qui voverat eum, Domino.

Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation, even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD.

24 in iubileo autem revertetur ad priorem dominum, qui vendiderat eum, et habuerat in sorte possessionis suae.

In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

25 Omnis aestimatio siclo sanctuarii ponderabitur. Siclus viginti obolos habet.

And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 Primogenita, quae ad Deum pertinent, nemo sanctificare poterit et vovere: sive bos, sive ovis fuerit, Domini sunt.

Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’s firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD’s.

27 Quod si immundum est animal, redimet qui obtulit, iuxta aestimationem suam, et addet quintam partem pretii: si redimere noluerit, vendetur alteri quantumcumque ante fuerit aestimatum.

And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.

28 Omne, quod Domino consecratur, sive homo fuerit, sive animal, sive ager, non veniet, nec redimi poterit. Quidquid semel fuerit consecratum, sanctum sanctorum erit Domino.

Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.

29 Et omnis consecratio, quae offertur ab homine, non redimetur, sed morte morietur.

None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 Omnes decimae terrae, sive de frugibus, sive de pomis arborum, Domini sunt, et illi sanctificantur.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s: it is holy to the LORD.

31 Si quis autem voluerit redimere decimas suas, addet quintam partem earum.

And if a man will at all redeem some of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32 Omnium decimarum bovis et ovis et caprae, quae sub pastoris virga transeunt, quidquid decimum venerit, sanctificabitur Domino.

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.

33 Non eligetur nec bonum nec malum, nec altero commutabitur. si quis mutaverit: et quod mutatum est, et pro quo mutatum est, sanctificabitur Domino, et non redimetur.

He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 Haec sunt praecepta, quae mandavit Dominus Moysi ad filios Israel in monte Sinai.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
