Levítico 27
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Dile a los israelitas: Cuando haces una promesa especial de dedicar a alguien al Señor, estos son los valores que debes usar.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man who will have made a vow and espoused his soul to God shall give the price according to the estimation.
3 El valor de un hombre de veinte a sesenta años es de cincuenta siclos de plata, (usando el estándar del siclo del santuario).
If it is a male from twenty years to sixty years, he shall give fifty shekels of silver, by the measure of the Sanctuary;
4 El valor de una mujer es de treinta siclos.
if it is a woman, thirty.
5 El valor de alguien de cinco a veinte años es de veinte siclos para un hombre y diez siclos para una mujer.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a male shall give twenty shekels; a female, ten.
6 El valor de alguien de un mes a cinco años es de cinco siclos de plata para un hombre y tres siclos de plata para una mujer.
From one month until the fifth year, for a male, five shekels shall be given; for a female, three.
7 El valor de alguien de sesenta años o más es de quince siclos para un hombre y diez siclos de plata para una mujer.
At sixty years and beyond, a male shall give fifteen shekels; a female, ten.
8 Sin embargo, si al cumplir su promesa es más pobre que el valor fijado, debe presentar a la persona ante el sacerdote, quien entonces fijará el valor dependiendo de lo que pueda pagar.
If he is poor, and he does not have the means to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest, and however much he will value him and see that he is able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 “Si al cumplir tu promesa traes un animal que esté permitido como ofrenda al Señor, el animal dado al Señor será considerado santo.
But an animal which could be immolated to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be holy,
10 No se le permite reemplazarlo o cambiarlo, ya sea por uno mejor o peor. Sin embargo, si lo reemplazas, ambos animales se convierten en sagrados.
and it cannot be exchanged, that is, neither better for worse, nor worse for better. And if he has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 “Si al cumplir tu promesa traes algún animal impuro que no esté permitido como ofrenda al Señor, entonces debes mostrar el animal al sacerdote.
An unclean animal which could not be sacrificed to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be led before the priest,
12 El sacerdote decidirá su valor, ya sea alto o bajo. Cualquier valor que el sacerdote le dé es definitivo.
who, judging whether it is either good or bad, shall set the price.
13 Si luego decide comprar el animal de nuevo, debe agregar un quinto a su valor en pago.
But if he who offers it was willing to give, he shall add a fifth part above the estimation.
14 “Si usted dedica su casa como santa al Señor, entonces el sacerdote decidirá su valor, ya sea alto o bajo. Cualquier valor que el sacerdote le ponga será definitivo.
If a man has vowed his house, and he has sanctified it to the Lord, the priest shall examine it, whether it is good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price which he will have established.
15 Pero si quieres volver a comprar tu casa, tienes que añadir un quinto a su valor en pago. Entonces le pertenecerá de nuevo.
But if he who vowed it was willing to redeem it, he shall give a fifth part beyond the estimation, and he shall have the house.
16 “Si dedicas parte de tu tierra al Señor, entonces su valor se determinará por la cantidad de semilla necesaria para sembrarla: cincuenta siclos de plata por cada homer de semilla de cebada utilizada.
But if he has vowed a field of his possession, and has consecrated it to the Lord, the price shall be estimated according to the measure of the seed. If the land would be sown with thirty measures of barley, then let it be sold for fifty shekels of silver.
17 Si dedicas tu campo durante el año jubilar, el valor será la cantidad total calculada.
If he has vowed his field beginning from the current year of Jubilee, as much as it may be worth, so shall it be estimated.
18 Pero si dedicas tu campo después del Jubileo, el sacerdote calculará el valor dependiendo del número de años que queden hasta el siguiente Año Jubilar, reduciendo así el valor.
But if, after some amount of time, the priest shall evaluate the money according to the number of years that remain until the Jubilee, then the price shall be reduced.
19 Pero si quieres volver a comprar tu campo, tienes que añadir un quinto a su valor en pago. Entonces le pertenecerá de nuevo.
But if he who had vowed it, was willing to redeem his field, he shall add a fifth part of the money to the estimation, and then he shall possess it.
20 Pero si no compras el campo de nuevo, o si ya lo has vendido a alguien más, no puede ser comprado de nuevo.
But if he is not willing to redeem it, then it shall be sold to any other; he who vowed it is no longer able to redeem it.
21 Cuando llegue el Jubileo, el campo se convertirá en sagrado, de la misma manera que un campo dedicado al Señor. Se convertirá en propiedad de los sacerdotes.
For when the day of Jubilee arrives, it shall be sanctified to the Lord. And as a possession that has been consecrated, it rightfully belongs to the priest.
22 “Si le dedicas al Señor un campo que has comprado y que no era de tu propiedad original,
If a field has been bought, and it is not from the possession of ancestors, it shall be sanctified to the Lord.
23 el sacerdote calculará el valor hasta el próximo año del Jubileo. Ese día pagará el valor exacto, dándoselo como una ofrenda sagrada al Señor.
The priest shall evaluate the price according to the number of years until the Jubilee; and the one who had vowed it shall give to the Lord.
24 En el Año Jubilar, la propiedad del campo volverá a la persona a la que se lo compraste, al propietario original del terreno.
Then, in the Jubilee, it shall be returned to the former owner, the one who had sold it and who had held it within the lot of his possession.
25 (Todos los valores usarán el estándar del siclo del santuario de veinte gerahs al siclo).
All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
26 “Nadie puede dedicar el primogénito del ganado, porque el primogénito pertenece al Señor. Ya sea que se trate de ganado vacuno, ovino o caprino, son del Señor.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no one is able to sanctify or vow, whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they are for the Lord.
27 Pero si se trata de un animal impuro, se puede volver a comprar según su valor, añadiendo un quinto extra. Si no se vuelve a comprar, entonces se vende según su valor.
But if it is an unclean animal, whoever offers it shall redeem it, according to your estimation, and he shall add a fifth part to the price. If he is not willing to redeem it, it shall be sold to another for whatever amount it was estimated by you.
28 “Todo lo que dediques deforma especialal Señor, ya sea una persona, animal o tu tierra, no podrá ser vendido o rescatado. Todo lo que sea dedicado especialmente será santo para el Señor.
All that is consecrated to the Lord, whether it is a man, or an animal, or a field, shall not be sold; neither is it able to be redeemed. Anything, once it has been consecrated, shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.
29 “Ninguno que sea especialmente dedicado para la destrucción podrá ser redimido. Debe ser asesinado.
And all that has been consecrated, which is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but shall surely die.
30 “El diezmo de sus cosechas o de sus frutos le pertenece al Señor; es santo para el Señor.
All the tithes of the land, whether from the grain, or from the fruits of trees, are for the Lord and are sanctified to him.
31 Si quieren volver a comprar parte de su diezmo, deben añadir un quinto a su valor.
But if anyone is willing to redeem his tithes, he shall add a fifth part to them.
32 “Cuando cuentes tus rebaños y manadas, cada décimo animal que pase bajo la vara del pastor es santo para el Señor.
Out of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, which cross under the rod of the shepherd, every tenth one that arrives shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33 No necesitarás examinarlo para ver si es bueno o malo, y no debes reemplazarlo. Sin embargo, si lo reemplazas, ambos animales serán sagrados; no podrán ser comprados de nuevo”.
It shall not be chosen by what is good or bad; neither shall it be exchanged for another. If anyone has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged, shall be sanctified to the Lord and shall not be redeemed.
34 Estas son las leyes que el Señor dio a Moisés para los israelitas en el Monte Sinaí.
These are the precepts, which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on mount Sinai.
