Leviticus 27
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
The LORD spoke 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 children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to the LORD in a vow, according to your valuation,
3 si fuerit masculus a vicesimo usque ad sexagesimum annum dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram sanctuarii
your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 si mulier triginta
If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 a quinto autem anno usque ad vicesimum masculus dabit viginti siclos femina decem
If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
6 ab uno mense usque ad annum quintum pro masculo dabuntur quinque sicli pro femina tres
If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos femina decem
If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be 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
But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.
9 animal autem quod immolari potest Domino si quis voverit sanctum erit
“‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD becomes 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 exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
11 animal inmundum quod immolari Domino non potest si quis voverit adducetur ante sacerdotem
If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
12 qui diiudicans utrum bonum an malum sit statuet pretium
and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.
13 quod si dare voluerit is qui offert addet supra aestimationis quintam partem
But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its 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
“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.
15 sin autem ille qui voverat voluerit redimere eam dabit quintam partem aestimationis supra et habebit domum
If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation 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 veniet argenti
“‘If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 si statim ab anno incipientis iobelei voverit agrum quanto valere potest tanto aestimabitur
If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
18 sin autem post aliquantum temporis supputabit sacerdos pecuniam iuxta annorum qui reliqui sunt numerum usque ad iobeleum et detrahetur ex pretio
But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
19 quod si voluerit redimere agrum ille qui voverat addet quintam partem aestimatae pecuniae et possidebit eum
If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
20 sin autem noluerit redimere sed alteri cuilibet fuerit venundatus ultra eum qui voverat redimere non poterit
If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
21 quia cum iobelei 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 devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
22 si ager emptus et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino
“‘If he dedicates a field to the LORD which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iobeleum pretium et dabit ille qui voverat eum Domino
then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to the LORD.
24 in iobeleo autem revertetur ad priorem dominum qui vendiderat eum et habuerat in sortem possessionis suae
In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25 omnis aestimatio siclo sanctuarii ponderabitur siclus viginti obolos habet
All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 primogenita quae ad Dominum pertinent nemo sanctificare poterit et vovere sive bos sive ovis fuerit Domini sunt
“‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to the LORD as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is the LORD’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
If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to 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
“‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to the LORD.
29 et omnis consecratio quae offertur ab homine non redimetur sed morte morietur
“‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
30 omnes decimae terrae sive de frugibus sive de pomis arborum Domini sunt et illi sanctificantur
“‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.
31 si quis autem voluerit redimere decimas suas addet quintam partem earum
If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
32 omnium decimarum boves et oves et caprae quae sub pastoris virga transeunt quicquid decimum venerit sanctificabitur Domino
All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, 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 examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
34 haec sunt praecepta quae mandavit Dominus Mosi ad filios Israhel in monte Sinai
These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
