Leviticus 27
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos homo qui votum fecerit et spoponderit Deo animam suam sub aestimatione dabit pretium
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,
3 si fuerit masculus a vicesimo usque ad sexagesimum annum dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram sanctuarii
then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.
4 si mulier triginta
And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;
5 a quinto autem anno usque ad vicesimum masculus dabit viginti siclos femina decem
and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been 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 from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;
7 sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos femina decem
and if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your valuation has been fifteen shekels, and for a 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
And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.
9 animal autem quod immolari potest Domino si quis voverit sanctum erit
And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is 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 does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy.
11 animal inmundum quod immolari Domino non potest si quis voverit adducetur ante sacerdotem
And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,
12 qui diiudicans utrum bonum an malum sit statuet pretium
and the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so it is;
13 quod si dare voluerit is qui offert addet supra aestimationis quintam partem
and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.
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 sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;
15 sin autem ille qui voverat voluerit redimere eam dabit quintam partem aestimationis supra et habebit domum
and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.
16 quod si agrum possessionis suae voverit et consecraverit Domino iuxta mensuram sementis aestimabitur pretium si triginta modiis hordei seritur terra quinquaginta siclis veniet argenti
And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
17 si statim ab anno incipientis iobelei voverit agrum quanto valere potest tanto aestimabitur
if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;
18 sin autem post aliquantum temporis supputabit sacerdos pecuniam iuxta annorum qui reliqui sunt numerum usque ad iobeleum et detrahetur ex pretio
and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.
19 quod si voluerit redimere agrum ille qui voverat addet quintam partem aestimatae pecuniae et possidebit eum
And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him;
20 sin autem noluerit redimere sed alteri cuilibet fuerit venundatus ultra eum qui voverat redimere non poterit
and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;
21 quia cum iobelei venerit dies sanctificatus erit Domino et possessio consecrata ad ius pertinet sacerdotum
and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.
22 si ager emptus et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino
And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,
23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iobeleum pretium et dabit ille qui voverat eum Domino
then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;
24 in iobeleo autem revertetur ad priorem dominum qui vendiderat eum et habuerat in sortem possessionis suae
in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.
25 omnis aestimatio siclo sanctuarii ponderabitur siclus viginti obolos habet
And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.
26 primogenita quae ad Dominum pertinent nemo sanctificare poterit et vovere sive bos sive ovis fuerit Domini sunt
Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.
27 quod si inmundum est animal redimet qui obtulit iuxta aestimationem tuam et addet quintam partem pretii si redimere noluerit vendetur alteri quantocumque a te fuerit aestimatum
And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.
28 omne quod Domino consecratur sive homo fuerit sive animal sive ager non veniet nec redimi poterit quicquid semel fuerit consecratum sanctum sanctorum erit Domino
Only, no devoted thing which a man devotes to YHWH of all that he has, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.
29 et omnis consecratio quae offertur ab homine non redimetur sed morte morietur
No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
30 omnes decimae terrae sive de frugibus sive de pomis arborum Domini sunt et illi sanctificantur
And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.
31 si quis autem voluerit redimere decimas suas addet quintam partem earum
And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.
32 omnium decimarum boves et oves et caprae quae sub pastoris virga transeunt quicquid decimum venerit sanctificabitur Domino
And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock—all that passes by under the rod—the tenth is holy to YHWH;
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 does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”
34 haec sunt praecepta quae mandavit Dominus Mosi ad filios Israhel in monte Sinai
These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
