Levítico 27
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Dile a los israelitas: Cuando haces una promesa especial de dedicar a alguien al Señor, estos son los valores que debes usar.
“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 El valor de un hombre de veinte a sesenta años es de cincuenta siclos de plata, (usando el estándar del siclo del santuario).
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 El valor de una mujer es de treinta siclos.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 El valor de alguien de cinco a veinte años es de veinte siclos para un hombre y diez siclos para una mujer.
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 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.
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 El valor de alguien de sesenta años o más es de quince siclos para un hombre y diez siclos de plata para una mujer.
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 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 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 “Si al cumplir tu promesa traes un animal que esté permitido como ofrenda al Señor, el animal dado al Señor será considerado santo.
‘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 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.
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 “Si al cumplir tu promesa traes algún animal impuro que no esté permitido como ofrenda al Señor, entonces debes mostrar el animal al sacerdote.
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 El sacerdote decidirá su valor, ya sea alto o bajo. Cualquier valor que el sacerdote le dé es definitivo.
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 Si luego decide comprar el animal de nuevo, debe agregar un quinto a su valor en pago.
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 “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.
‘[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 Pero si quieres volver a comprar tu casa, tienes que añadir un quinto a su valor en pago. Entonces le pertenecerá de nuevo.
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 “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.
‘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 Si dedicas tu campo durante el año jubilar, el valor será la cantidad total calculada.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
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 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 Pero si quieres volver a comprar tu campo, tienes que añadir un quinto a su valor en pago. Entonces le pertenecerá de nuevo.
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 Pero si no compras el campo de nuevo, o si ya lo has vendido a alguien más, no puede ser comprado de nuevo.
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 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.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 “Si le dedicas al Señor un campo que has comprado y que no era de tu propiedad original,
‘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 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 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 En el Año Jubilar, la propiedad del campo volverá a la persona a la que se lo compraste, al propietario original del terreno.
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 (Todos los valores usarán el estándar del siclo del santuario de veinte gerahs al siclo).
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
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.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
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.
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 “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.
‘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 “Ninguno que sea especialmente dedicado para la destrucción podrá ser redimido. Debe ser asesinado.
‘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 “El diezmo de sus cosechas o de sus frutos le pertenece al Señor; es santo para el Señor.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Si quieren volver a comprar parte de su diezmo, deben añadir un quinto a su valor.
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 “Cuando cuentes tus rebaños y manadas, cada décimo animal que pase bajo la vara del pastor es santo para el Señor.
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 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”.
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 Estas son las leyes que el Señor dio a Moisés para los israelitas en el Monte Sinaí.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
