3 Mosebok 27
1 Og Herren tala atter til Moses, og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 «Tala til Israels-folket, og seg til deim: «Når ein hev lova å vigja seg sjølv eller eit anna menneskje til Herren, og sidan vil løysa seg frå lovnaden med penger, so skal du verdsetja den som er burtlova:
“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 Verdet på ein mann som er millom tjuge og seksti år, skal vera femti sylvdalar i heilag mynt;
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 er det eit kvende, so skal du setja verdet til tretti dalar.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Eit menneskje som er millom fem år og tjuge år, skal du setja i tjuge dalar dersom det er ein kar, og i ti dalar dersom det er eit kvende.
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 Er det eit barn millom ein månad og fem år, so skal verdet på ein gut vera fem sylvdalar, og på ei gjenta tri sylvdalar.
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 Deim som er seksti år eller meir, skal du setja i femtan dalar i fall det er menner, og i ti dalar i fall det er kvende.
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 Er nokon so fatig at han ikkje kann greida ut pengarne, so skal dei koma til presten med honom, og presten skal setja verdet etter hans utkoma som gjorde lovnaden.
‘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 Er det eit dyr som er burtlova, eit av deim som folk ber fram til offer for Herren, so skal alt ein gjev Herren av slikt, reknast for heilagt.
‘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 Ein må ikkje byta det um eller gjeva eit anna dyr i staden, korkje eit ringt for eit godt eller eit godt for eit ringt. Byter ein det like vel i eit anna dyr, so skal båe tvo gjelda for heilage.
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 eit ureint dyr, eit av deim ein ikkje kann gjeva Herren i offergåva, so skal det leidast fram for presten,
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 presten skal verdsetja det, etter som det er til, godt eller ringt; det som presten set det i, det skal vera prisen på det.
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 Vil eigaren løysa det att, so lyt han leggja femteparten meir enn det er verdsett til.
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 Når ein hev lova å vigja huset sitt til Herren, so skal presten verdsetja det etter som det er til, godt eller ringt, og det som presten set det i, skal gjelda for rette verdet.
‘[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 Vil den som hev lova burt huset løysa det att, so skal han leggja femteparten yver det verdet; då vert det 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 Når ein hev lova burt noko av odelsjordi si til Herren, so skal verdet retta seg etter sådmengdi: ein åker på halvtridje tunnesåd bygg skal svara til femti sylvdalar.
‘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 Hev han lova burt jordi alt ifrå jubelåret, so skal det verdet gjelda fullt.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Men er det etter jubelåret han hev lova henne burt, so skal presten rekna ut verdet etter dei åri som er att til komande jubelår, og prisen skal setjast ned etter måten.
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 Hev ein lova Herren eit stykke av jordi si, og sidan vil løysa det, skal han leggja femteparten yver verdet, so skal han få det.
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 Løyser han det ikkje, og like vel sel det til ein annan, so kann det ikkje løysast meir;
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 når då jubelåret kjem, og jordi vert fri, skal ho høyra Herrens heilagdom til, liksom jord som er vigsla; presten skal hava eigedomsretten til henne.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 Når ein hev lova Herren eit stykke jord som han hev kjøpt, og som ikkje er hans odel,
‘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 so skal presten rekna ut verdet til komande jubelår, og mannen skal greida ut pengarne med det same, og vigja deim åt 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 jubelåret fell jordi attende til den han kjøpte av, og som hev odelen.
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 All verdsetjing skal vera i heilag mynt, etter tjuge gera i dalaren.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 Det som er frumbore i buskapen, kann ikkje lovast burt; etter di det er frumbore, er det longe Herrens eigedom; anten det er storfe eller småfe, so høyrer det Herren til.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Er det ureine dyr, so kann ein løysa deim att etter verdet, men lyt då leggja attåt femteparten; vert dei ikkje attløyste, so kann dei seljast for verdet.
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 Det som ein vigslar åt Herren av eigedomen sin, anten det er folk eller fe eller odelsjord, det kann ikkje seljast og ikkje løysast att; alt som er vigsla, er høgheilagt og høyrer Herren til.
‘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 Ingen mann som er bannstøytt, kann verta attløyst; han lyt lata livet.
‘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 All tiend av jordi, av grøda på marki og av alda på trei, høyrer Herren til, og til Herren skal ho vigjast.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Vil ein løysa att noko av tiendi, skal han leggja femteparten yver verdet.
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 Og av alt bufeet, både stort og smått, alt som kjem under hyrdingstaven, skal tiande kvart dyr vigjast til 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 Ein skal ikkje sjå etter um det er godt eller ringt, og ikkje byta det um. Vert det bytt i eit anna dyr, so skal dei høyra heilagdomen båe, og kann ikkje verta attløyste.»»
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 Dette var dei loverne som Herren gav Moses på Sinaifjellet og baud honom kunngjera for Israels-folket.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
