Levítico 27
1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando alguno hiciere especial voto al SEÑOR, según la estimación de las personas que se hayan de redimir, así será tu estimación:
“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 En cuanto al macho de veinte años hasta sesenta, tu estimación será 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 Y si fuere hembra, la estimación será treinta siclos.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Y si fuere de cinco años hasta veinte, tu estimación será respecto al macho veinte siclos, y a la hembra diez siclos.
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 Y si fuere de un mes hasta cinco años, tu estimación será en orden al macho, cinco siclos de plata; y por la hembra será tu estimación tres siclos de plata.
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 Mas si fuere de sesenta años arriba, por el macho tu estimación será quince siclos, y por la hembra 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 fuere más pobre que tu estimación, entonces comparecerá ante el sacerdote, y el sacerdote le apreciará; conforme a la facultad del votante le apreciará el sacerdote.
‘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 Y si fuere animal de que se ofrece ofrenda al SEÑOR, todo lo que se diere de él al SEÑOR será 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 será mudado ni trocado, bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si se permutare un animal por otro, él y el dado por él en cambio serán del santuario.
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 Y si fuere algún animal inmundo, de que no se ofrece ofrenda al SEÑOR, entonces el animal será puesto 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 apreciará, sea bueno o sea malo; conforme a la estimación del 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 Y si lo hubieren de redimir, añadirán su quinto sobre tu estimación.
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 Y cuando alguno santificare su casa en santificación al SEÑOR, la apreciará el sacerdote, sea buena o sea mala; según la apreciare 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 Mas si el santificante redimiere su casa, añadirá a tu estimación el quinto del dinero sobre ella, 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 Y si alguno santificare de la tierra de su posesión al SEÑOR, tu estimación será conforme a su sembradura; un homer de sembradura de cebada se apreciará 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 Y si santificare su tierra desde el año del jubileo, conforme a tu estimación quedará.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Mas si después del jubileo santificare su tierra, entonces el sacerdote hará la cuenta del dinero conforme a los años que quedaren hasta el año del jubileo, y se rebajará de tu estimación.
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 Y si el que santificó la tierra quisiere redimirla, añadirá a tu estimación el quinto del dinero de ella, y se le quedará para él.
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 Mas si él no redimiere la tierra, y la tierra se vendiere a otro, no la redimirá más;
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 sino que cuando saliere en el jubileo, la tierra será santa al SEÑOR, como tierra de anatema; la posesión de ella será del sacerdote.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 Y si santificare alguno al SEÑOR la tierra que él compró, que no era de la tierra de su herencia,
‘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 calculará con él la suma de tu estimación hasta el año del jubileo, y aquel día dará tu señalado precio, cosa consagrada 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 del jubileo, volverá la tierra a aquel de quien él la compró, cuya era la herencia 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 Y todo lo que apreciares será conforme al siclo del santuario; el siclo tiene veinte óbolos.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 Pero el primogénito de los animales, que por la primogenitura es del SEÑOR, nadie lo santificará; sea buey u oveja, del SEÑOR es.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Mas si fuere de los animales inmundos, lo redimirán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella su quinto; y si no lo redimieren, se venderá conforme a tu estimación.
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 Pero ningún anatema, que alguno santificare al SEÑOR de todo lo que tuviere, de hombres y animales, y de las tierras de su posesión, no se venderá, ni se redimirá. Todo anatema será cosa santísima al 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 Cualquier anatema de hombres que se consagrare no será redimido; indefectiblemente morirá.
‘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 Y todos los diezmos de la tierra, así de la simiente de la tierra como del fruto de los árboles, del SEÑOR son; es santidad al 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 Y si alguno quisiere redimir algo de sus diezmos, añadirá su quinto a ello.
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 Y todo diezmo de vacas o de ovejas, de todo lo que pasa bajo la vara, el diezmo será santidad al 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 mirará si es bueno o malo, ni lo trocará; y si lo trocare, ello y su trueque serán santificación; no se redimirá.
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 ordenó el SEÑOR a Moisés, para los hijos de Israel, en el monte de Sinaí.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
