Levítico 27
1 Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: ‘Cuando un hombre consagre a una persona a Yahvé en un voto, según vuestra valoración,
“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 vuestra valoración de un varón de veinte a sesenta años será de cincuenta siclos de plata, según el 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 Si se trata de una mujer, tu valoración será de treinta siclos.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Si la persona tiene de cinco a veinte años, tu valoración será de veinte siclos para el varón y de diez siclos para la 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 Si la persona tiene de un mes a cinco años, tu valoración será de cinco siclos de plata para el varón y de tres siclos de plata para la 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 Si la persona es de sesenta años en adelante, si es varón, tu valoración será de quince siclos, y para la mujer de diez siclos.
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 Pero si es más pobre que tu valuación, entonces será presentada ante el sacerdote, y éste le asignará un valor. El sacerdote le asignará un valor según su capacidad de pago.
‘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 se trata de un animal del que los hombres ofrecen una ofrenda a Yahvé, todo lo que un hombre da de él a Yahvé se convierte en 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 lo alterará, ni lo cambiará, un bien por un mal, o un mal por un bien. Si se cambia un animal por otro, tanto éste como el que se cambia serán santos.
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 se trata de un animal impuro, del que no se ofrece como ofrenda a Yahvé, entonces pondrá el animal delante del 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 y el sacerdote lo evaluará, si es bueno o malo. Según lo evalúe el sacerdote, así será.
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 Pero si en verdad lo redime, entonces añadirá la quinta parte de él a su valoración.
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 “‘Cuando un hombre dedique su casa a ser santa para Yahvé, entonces el sacerdote la evaluará, si es buena o mala. Según la evalúe el sacerdote, así quedará.
‘[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 Si el que la dedica quiere redimir su casa, entonces le añadirá la quinta parte del dinero de su evaluación, y será suya.
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 un hombre dedica a Yahvé una parte del campo de su posesión, su valoración será según la semilla de la misma. La siembra de un homer de cebada se valorará en cincuenta siclos de plata.
‘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 él dedica su campo desde el Año del Jubileo, según tu valoración se mantendrá.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Pero si dedica su campo después del Jubileo, el sacerdote le contará el dinero según los años que falten para el Año del Jubileo, y se hará una rebaja de tu valoración.
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 Si el que dedicó el campo lo rescata, le agregará la quinta parte del dinero de tu valuación, y seguirá siendo suyo.
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 Si no quiere rescatar el campo, o si lo ha vendido a otro hombre, ya no se rescatará;
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 pero el campo, cuando salga en el jubileo, será sagrado para Yahvé, como campo consagrado. Será propiedad de los sacerdotes.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 “‘Si dedica a Yahvé un campo que ha comprado, que no es del campo de su posesión,
‘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 entonces el sacerdote le calculará el valor de su valoración hasta el Año del Jubileo; y le dará su valoración en ese día, como cosa sagrada para Yahvé.
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 del Jubileo el campo volverá al que lo compró, al que le pertenece la posesión de la tierra.
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 Todas vuestras valoraciones serán según el siclo del santuario: veinte gerahs al siclo.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 “‘Sin embargo, el primogénito entre los animales, que pertenece a Yahvé como primogénito, ningún hombre puede dedicarlo, ya sea un buey o una oveja. Es de Yahvé.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Si se trata de un animal impuro, lo recomprará según tu valoración, y le añadirá la quinta parte; o si no se redime, se venderá según tu valoración.
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 “‘Sin embargo, ninguna cosa consagrada que un hombre dedique a Yahvé de todo lo que tiene, sea de hombre o de animal, o del campo de su posesión, será vendida o redimida. Todo lo que se consagra permanentemente es santísimo para Yahvé.
‘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 “‘Ningún consagrado a la destrucción, que sea consagrado de entre los hombres, será rescatado. Será condenado a muerte.
‘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 “‘Todo el diezmo de la tierra, ya sea de la semilla de la tierra o del fruto de los árboles, es de Yahvé. Es sagrado para Yahvé.
‘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 un hombre rescata algo de su diezmo, le añadirá la quinta parte.
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 Todo el diezmo de las vacas o de los rebaños, todo lo que pase por debajo de la vara, el décimo será 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 examinará si es bueno o malo, ni lo cambiará. Si lo cambia, tanto él como aquello por lo que se cambie serán sagrados. No se canjeará”.
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 Estos son los mandamientos que Yahvé ordenó a Moisés para los hijos de Israel en el Monte Sinaí.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
