Levítico 27
1 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Di a los hijos de Israel: Si un hombre hace un juramento especial, darán su decisión sobre el valor de las personas para el Señor.
“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 Y pondrán el valor de un varón de veinte años a sesenta años en cincuenta siclos de plata, según la escala del lugar santo.
[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 es una mujer, el valor será de treinta siclos.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Y si la persona tiene entre cinco y veinte años, el valor será de veinte siclos para un hombre, y diez 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 Y si la persona tiene entre un mes y cinco años, el valor para un niño será cinco siclos de plata, y para una niña tres siclos.
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 Y para los sesenta años y más, para un hombre el valor será quince siclos, y para una mujer, diez.
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 el valor que le has puesto, déjalo llevarlo al sacerdote, y el sacerdote le pondrá un valor, tal como sea posible para él.
‘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 animales de lo cual los hombres hacen ofrendas al Señor, todo lo que el hombre dé 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 puede ser cambiado de ninguna manera, un bien dado por un mal, o un mal por un bien; Si una bestia es cambiada por otra, las dos serán santas.
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 es una bestia inmunda, de la cual no se hacen ofrendas al Señor, que tome la bestia 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 que el sacerdote le dé un valor, si es bueno o malo; Cualquiera que sea el valor que el sacerdote le dé, 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 él desea recuperarlo para sí mismo, déjale un quinto más que su valor.
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 si un hombre ha dado su casa como santa al Señor, entonces el sacerdote le dará un valor, si es bueno o malo; Así como el sacerdote toma la decisión, el valor será fijado.
‘[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 Y si el dueño desea recuperar su casa, deberá dar una quinta parte más que su valor, y será suyo.
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 un hombre le da al Señor parte del campo que es su propiedad, entonces deje que su valor esté en relación con la semilla que está plantada en él; Una medida de grano 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 da su campo del año del jubileo, el valor será fijado por su decisión.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Pero si él da su campo después del año de Jubileo, la cantidad del dinero será calculada por el sacerdote en relación con el número de años hasta el próximo año de Jubileo, y la cantidad necesaria se rebajará 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 hombre que ha dado el campo desea recuperarlo, déle una quinta más que el precio por el cual fue valorado y será 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 Pero si él no tiene ningún deseo de recuperarlo, o si se lo ha dado por un precio a otro hombre, es posible que no lo recupere 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 Pero el campo, cuando se libere en el año de Jubileo, será santo para el Señor, como un campo dado bajo juramento, será propiedad del sacerdote.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 Y si un hombre le da al Señor un campo comprado, que no es parte 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 el valor con esa persona el precio fijado hasta el año del jubileo, y en ese día le dará la cantidad de su valor como santo para el 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 de Jubileo, el campo volverá a aquel de quien lo obtuvo, es decir, a aquel cuya herencia era.
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 que todos sus valores se basen en el siclo del lugar santo, es decir, veinte geras al siclo.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 Pero un hombre no puede dar por juramento al Señor los primeros frutos del ganado que se ofrecen al Señor, si es un becerrito un corderito, es 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 Y si es una bestia inmunda, entonces su dueño puede dar dinero para recuperarla, de acuerdo con el valor fijado por ustedes, al dar una quinta parte más; o si no se retira, podrá ser vendido de acuerdo con su 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 Pero nada de lo que un hombre ha dado completamente al Señor, fuera de todos sus bienes, del hombre o la bestia, o de la tierra que es su herencia, puede ser regalado o devuelto a cambio de dinero; Todo lo que se da completamente es muy 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 Cualquier hombre destinado a la destrucción, ciertamente debe ser ejecutado.
‘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 cada décima parte de la tierra, de la semilla plantada, o del fruto de los árboles, es santa 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 Y si un hombre desea recuperar algo de la décima parte que ha dado, tendrá que pagar lo que valga y una quinta más.
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 la décima parte de la manada y del rebaño, todo lo que vaya debajo de la vara del valuador, 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 Él no puede hacer una búsqueda para ver si es bueno o malo, o hacer cambios en él; y si lo hace por otro, los dos serán santos; Él no los recuperará 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 órdenes que el Señor dio 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].
