Rules concerning Assessments

27 Again, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘(A)When someone makes an explicit vow, he shall be valued according to your assessment of persons belonging to the Lord. 3 If your assessment is of a male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your assessment shall be fifty shekels of silver, by (B)the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 Or if [a]the person is a female, then your assessment shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if the person is from five years even to twenty years old, then your assessment for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female, ten shekels. 6 But if the person is from a month even up to five years old, then your assessment shall be (C)five shekels of silver for a male, and for a female your assessment shall be three shekels of silver. 7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward, if a male, then your assessment shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels. 8 But if he is poorer than your assessment, then he shall be presented before the priest, and the priest shall assess him; (D)according to [b]the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall assess him.

9 ‘Now if it is an animal of the kind that [c]one can present as an offering to the Lord, any such animal that one gives to the Lord shall be holy. 10 (E)He shall not replace it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; yet if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. 11 If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which [d]one does not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest. 12 And the priest shall assess it [e]as either good or bad; as you, the priest, assess it, so shall it be. 13 But if he should ever want to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it to your assessment.

14 ‘Now if someone consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall assess it [f]as either good or bad; as the priest assesses it, so shall it stand. 15 Yet if the one who consecrates it should want to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may be his.

16 ‘Again, if someone consecrates to the Lord part of the field of his own property, then your assessment shall be [g]proportionate to the seed needed for it: a [h]homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your assessment it shall stand. 18 If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for [i]him [j]proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your assessment. 19 If the one who consecrates it should ever want to redeem the field, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may belong to him. 20 Yet if he does not redeem the field, [k]but has sold the field to another person, it may no longer be redeemed; 21 and when it [l]reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field banned from secular use; (F)it shall be for the priest as his property. 22 Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property, 23 then the priest shall calculate for [m]him the amount of your assessment up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your assessment as holy to the Lord. 24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs. 25 Every assessment of yours, moreover, shall be by (G)the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26 ‘(H)However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no one may consecrate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall [n]redeem it according to your assessment and add to it a fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your assessment.

28 ‘Nevertheless, [o](I)anything which someone sets apart to the Lord for [p]destruction out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the field of his own property, shall not be sold nor redeemed. Anything set apart for destruction is most holy to the Lord. 29 No [q]one who may have been [r]set apart among mankind shall be ransomed; he must be put to death.

30 ‘Now (J)all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. 31 If, therefore, someone should ever want to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it a fifth of it. 32 For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever (K)passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. 33 (L)He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; yet if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34 (M)These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.

27  I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te motuhia e te tangata, he mea ki taurangi, ma Ihowa nga tangata, me whakarite e koe nga moni.

3 A kia penei tau whakarite mo te tane e rua tekau ona tau, he maha ake ranei, a ono tekau noa nga tau, ara kia rima tekau nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe, hei te hekere o te wahi tapu.

4 A ki te mea he wahine, kia toru tekau nga hekere e whakaritea e koe.

5 A ki te mea e rima ona tau, tae noa atu ranei ki te rua tekau tau, na kia rua tekau nga hekere e whakaritea e koe mo te tane, kia tekau hoki nga hekere mo te wahine.

6 A, ki te mea kotahi tona marama a tae noa atu ranei ki te rima ona tau, na kia rima nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe mo te tane, kia toru nga hekere hiriwa e whakaritea e koe mo te wahine.

7 A ki te mea e ono tekau ona tau, he maha atu ranei; ki te mea he tane, kia kotahi tekau ma rima nga hekere e whakaritea e koe, kia kotahi tekau hoki nga hekere mo te wahine.

8 A ki te iti iho ona rawa i au i whakarite ai, na, me tu ia ki te aroaro o te tohunga, a me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga: kei nga mea e taea atu e te ringa o te tangata nana te ki taurangi te tikanga mo ta te tohunga e whakarite ai hei utu mona.

9 A, mehemea he kararehe no reira nei te whakahere a te tangata ki a Ihowa, ka tapu katoa nga mea o tena i homai e ia ma Ihowa.

10 Kaua e whakareretia ketia e ia, e whakawhitia ranei, he pai mo te kino, he kino ranei mo te pai: a ki te tupono ka whakawhitia e ia he kararehe ki tetahi kararehe, na ka tapu taua mea me te mea i whakawhitia ai.

11 A ki te mea he poke te kararehe, he mea e kore e whakaherea tetahi pera ma Ihowa, na ka whakaturia e ia te kararehe ki te aroaro o te tohunga:

12 A me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino: me waiho i tau i whakarite ai, e te tohunga.

13 Otiia ki te mea ia kia utua kia hoki ai, na me tapiri tona wahi whakarima ki tau i whakarite ai.

14 Ki te whakatapua ano e te tangata tona whare kia tapu ki a Ihowa, na me whakarite ona utu e te tohunga, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino: ko ta te tohunga e whakarite ai, ka tuturu ki reira.

15 A ki te mea te kaiwhakatapu kia utua kia hoki ai tona whare, na me tapiri tona whakarima o te moni i whakaritea e koe, a ka riro i a ia.

16 A ki te whakatapua e te tangata mo Ihowa tetahi wahi mara o tona kainga, na kia rite ki nga purapura mo reira tau whakaritenga utu: kotahi te homa parei hei purapura, kia rima tekau hekere hiriwa.

17 Ki te mea no te tau tiupiri tana whakatapunga i tana mara, ka tuturu ano ki tau utu i whakarite ai.

18 Mehemea ia no muri i te tiupiri tana whakatapunga i tana mara, na ma te tohunga e tatau nga moni ki a ia, kia rite ki nga tau e toe ana ki te tau tiupiri, ka tango ai i roto i tau i whakarite ai.

19 A ki te mea te kaiwhakatapu o te mara kia utua kia hoki atu ai, na me tapiri tona whakarima o te moni i whakaritea e koe, a ka whakatuturutia mana.

20 A ki te kahore ia e utu kia hoki ai te mara, ki te mea ranei i hokona e ia te mara ki te tangata ke, e kore e utua kia hoki atu i muri iho:

21 Engari ka tapu te mara ki a Ihowa, ina riro atu i te tiupiri, he mara hoki i oti rawa; hei kainga tena mo te tohunga.

22 Ki te whakatapua ia e tetahi ki a Ihowa he mara i hokona mai e ia, ehara nei i te mara tupu nana:

23 Katahi ka taua e te tohunga ki a ia nga utu i whakaritea e koe mo te takiwa atu ki te tau tiupiri: a ka homai e ia tau i whakarite ai i taua rangi, he mea tapu hoki na Ihowa.

24 Ko a te tau tiupiri hoki ai te mara ki te tangata i hokona mai nei i a ia, ara ki te tangata nona te tuturutanga o te whenua.

25 Hei te hekere o te wahi tapu te tikanga mo au whakaritenga katoa: e rua tekau nga kera o te hekere kotahi.

26 Ko te matamua ia o nga kararehe, i meinga nei hei matamua ki a Ihowa, kaua ena e whakatapua e te tangata; ahakoa kau, hipi ranei: na Ihowa ena.

27 A ki te mea no nga kararehe poke, na kia rite ki tau whakaritenga tana utu mo te whakahokinga atu, me tapiri ano e ia tona whakarima; a ki te kahore e utua, e whakahokia, na me hoko; kia rite nga utu ki au i whakarite ai.

28 Kaua ia e hokona, e utua ranei kia hoki atu te mea i oti rawa, i tukua putia mai e te tangata ki a Ihowa i roto i ona taonga katoa, te tangata ranei, te kararehe ranei, te mara ranei o tona kainga tupu: he tino tapu ki a Ihowa nga mea katoa i ot i.

29 Ki te tukua putia mai tetahi tangata, he mea oti rawa, e kore e utua, e whakahokia; me whakamate rawa.

30 Me nga whakatekau katoa o te whenua, o te purapura ranei o te whenua, o nga hua ranei o te rakau, na Ihowa ena: he tapu ki a Ihowa.

31 A ki te mea te tangata kia utua, kia hoki ai etahi o ana whakatekau; me tapiri mai tetahi o ona wahi whakarima.

32 A ko nga whakatekau katoa o nga kau, o nga hipi, o nga mea katoa e haere mai ana i raro i te tokotoko, ka tapu tena whakatekau ki a Ihowa.

33 Kaua e tirohia iho e ia, wehe ai i te pai, i te kino, kaua ano hoki e whakawhitia: a ki te whakawhitia e ia, na ka tapu taua mea me tona utu ano; e kore e utua kia hoki.

34 Ko nga whakahau enei ki nga tama a Iharaira i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi ki Maunga Hinai.

Rules about gifts to the Lord

27 The Lord said to Moses, 2 ‘Speak to Israel's people. Tell them this. A person might give another person to the Lord for a special promise. 3 They can make that person free. But they must give the right amount of money to God. For a man between 20 years and 60 years old, they must give 50 pieces of silver. 4 For a woman, they must give 30 pieces of silver. 5 For a male between five years and 20 years old, they must give to God 20 pieces of silver. For a female, they must give ten pieces of silver. 6 For a boy between one month and five years old, they must give five pieces of silver. For a girl of the same age, God must have three pieces of silver. 7 If a man is older than 60 years, they must give 15 pieces of silver. For a woman, they must give ten pieces of silver. 8 A person might say this special promise to God. But he might be too poor to pay the money. He must bring the person to the priest. The priest will tell the person how much money to pay. The priest will know how much money the man can give.

9 If the promise is to give an animal to God the animal becomes holy to the Lord. 10 The person must not change a good animal for a bad animal. He must not change a bad animal for a good animal. If the person does change one animal for another, both the animals become holy. 11 The animal might be an animal that you must not eat. And you can not give it to the Lord. If it is, the person must bring it to the priest. 12 The priest will decide if the animal is good or bad. 13 The person might want to buy the animal back. He must pay the price of the animal and one fifth more.

14 A person might give his house to the Lord. The priest will decide if the house is good or bad. The priest will decide the price of the house. 15 The person might want to buy the house back. He must pay the price of the house and one fifth more. Then it will again belong to him.

16 A person might give part of his land to the Lord. The person will decide the price by how much seed the land needs. The price will be 50 pieces of silver for a homer (220 litres) of seed. 17 If a person gives his land in a Jubilee year, the price is the same. 18 A person might give his land after the Jubilee year. The priest will count the number of years before the next Jubilee. The price will be less. 19 A person might want to buy the land back. He must pay the price of the land and one fifth more. 20 He may not buy it back before the year of Jubilee. Then the field becomes holy. But the man may have sold the land to another person. If he has, he cannot get it back. 21 In the Jubilee year the land will become holy. Then it will belong to the priests.

22 A person might buy some land from another family. He might give that land to the Lord. 23 The priest will count how many years there are until the Jubilee year. The person must pay the money on that day. The money is holy to the Lord. 24 In the Jubilee year, the land returns to the family from whom he bought it. 25 The priest must decide the price of the land. He must use the correct measures.

26 The first baby that an animal has is holy. It belongs to the Lord. A person cannot give it as a special gift to the Lord. 27 The animal might be an unclean animal (an animal that they must not eat). The person can pay the price of the animal and one fifth more to get it back. If the person does not buy it back, the priest will sell it.

28 A man might give to the Lord something that the man has. Everything that a man gives like that is holy. It might be a person, an animal or land. The priest must not sell it. A man cannot take it back. Everything that someone gives to the Lord is most holy.

29 God might decide that a person must die. If he does, nobody can buy the person back. The person must die.

30 One tenth of everything that comes from the land is holy to the Lord. It may be grain or fruit. It belongs to the Lord. 31 If a person buys back any of his gift, he must pay the price and one fifth more. 32 Out of every ten animals, one animal is holy. It belongs to the Lord. 33 A person must not change a good animal for a bad animal. A person must not change a bad animal for a good animal. If he does that, both animals are holy. They belong to God. A person cannot buy them back.’

34 These are the rules that the Lord gave to Moses on Sinai mountain. They are the rules for Israel's people.

Redeeming What Is the Lord’s

27 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow(A) to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, 3 set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels[a] of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel[b];(B) 4 for a female, set her value at thirty shekels[c]; 5 for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels[d](C) and of a female at ten shekels[e]; 6 for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels[f](D) of silver and that of a female at three shekels[g] of silver; 7 for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels[h] and of a female at ten shekels. 8 If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay(E) the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value(F) according to what the one making the vow can afford.

9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord,(G) such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.(H) 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one;(I) if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal(J)—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord—the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem(K) the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.(L)

14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it,(M) they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.

16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer[i] of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee,(N) the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain(O) until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,(P) they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(Q) it will become holy,(R) like a field devoted to the Lord;(S) it will become priestly property.

22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee,(T) and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought,(U) the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel,(V) twenty gerahs(W) to the shekel.

26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(X) whether an ox[j] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(Y) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.

28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[k](Z) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(AA) to the Lord.

29 “‘No person devoted to destruction[l] may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.(AB)

30 “‘A tithe(AC) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(AD) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(AE) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(AF) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(AG)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(AH) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(AI)’”

34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai(AJ) for the Israelites.(AK)
