Leviticus 27
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo qui votum fecerit, et spoponderit Deo animam suam, sub æstimatione dabit pretium.
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Yahweh in a vow, according to your valuation,
3 Si fuerit masculus a vigesimo anno usque ad sexagesimum annum, dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram Sanctuarii:
your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 si mulier, triginta.
If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 A quinto autem anno usque ad vigesimum, masculus dabit viginti siclos: femina decem.
If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
6 Ab uno mense usque ad annum quintum, pro masculo dabuntur quinque sicli: pro femina, tres.
If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 Sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos: femina decem.
If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
8 Si pauper fuerit, et æstimationem reddere non valebit, stabit coram sacerdote: et quantum ille æstimaverit, et viderit eum posse reddere, tantum dabit.
But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.
9 Animal autem, quod immolari potest Domino, si quis voverit, sanctum erit,
“‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
10 et mutari non poterit, id est, nec melius malo, nec peius bono. quod si mutaverit: et ipsum quod mutatum est, et illud pro quo mutatum est, consecratum erit Domino.
He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
11 Animal immundum, quod immolari Domino non potest, si quis voverit, adducetur ante sacerdotem.
If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
12 qui iudicans utrum bonum an malum sit, statuet pretium.
and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.
13 quod si dare voluerit is, qui offert, addet supra æstimationem quintam partem.
But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
14 Homo si voverit domum suam, et sanctificaverit Domino, considerabit eam sacerdos utrum bona an mala sit, et iuxta pretium, quod ab eo fuerit constitutum, venundabitur:
“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.
15 sin autem ille qui voverat, voluerit redimere eam, dabit quintam partem æstimationis supra, et habebit domum.
If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
16 Quod si agrum possessionis suæ voverit, et consecraverit Domino: iuxta mensuram sementis æstimabitur pretium. si triginta modiis hordei seritur terra, quinquaginta siclis venundetur argenti.
“‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 Si statim ab anno incipientis iubilei voverit agrum, quanto valere potest, tanto æstimabitur.
If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
18 sin autem post aliquantum temporis: supputabit sacerdos pecuniam iuxta annorum, qui reliqui sunt, numerum usque ad iubileum, et detrahetur ex pretio.
But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
19 Quod si voluerit redimere agrum ille, qui voverat, addet quintam partem æstimatæ pecuniæ, et possidebit eum.
If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
20 Sin autem noluerit redimere, sed alteri cuilibet fuerit venundatus, ultra eum qui voverat redimere non poterit:
If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
21 quia cum iubilei venerit dies, sanctificatus erit Domino, et possessio consecrata ad ius pertinet sacerdotum.
but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
22 Si ager emptus est, et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino,
“‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iubileum, pretium: et dabit ille qui voverat eum, Domino.
then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
24 in iubileo autem revertetur ad priorem dominum, qui vendiderat eum, et habuerat in sorte possessionis suæ.
In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25 Omnis æstimatio siclo sanctuarii ponderabitur. Siclus viginti obolos habet.
All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 Primogenita, quæ ad Dominum pertinent, nemo sanctificare poterit et vovere: sive bos, sive ovis fuerit, Domini sunt.
“‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.
27 Quod si immundum est animal, redimet qui obtulit, iuxta æstimationem tuam, et addet quintam partem pretii: si redimere noluerit, vendetur alteri quantocumque a te fuerit æstimatum.
If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 Omne, quod Domino consecratur, sive homo fuerit, sive animal, sive ager, non vendetur, nec redimi poterit. Quidquid semel fuerit consecratum, sanctum sanctorum erit Domino.
“‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.
29 Et omnis consecratio, quæ offertur ab homine, non redimetur, sed morte morietur.
“‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
30 Omnes decimæ terræ, sive de frugibus, sive de pomis arborum, Domini sunt, et illi sanctificantur.
“‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.
31 Si quis autem voluerit redimere decimas suas, addet quintam partem earum.
If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
32 Omnium decimarum bovis et ovis et capræ, quæ sub pastoris virga transeunt, quidquid decimum venerit, sanctificabitur Domino.
All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
33 Non eligetur nec bonum nec malum, nec altero commutabitur. si quis mutaverit: et quod mutatum est, et pro quo mutatum est, sanctificabitur Domino, et non redimetur.
He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
34 Hæc sunt præcepta, quæ mandavit Dominus Moysi ad filios Israel in monte Sinai.
These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
