利未记 27
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
各种许愿还愿的条例
27 耶和华对摩西说： 2 “你要告诉以色列人，对他们说：如果人许特别的愿，献身给耶和华，就要依照你的估价献身价。 3 你应该这样估价：从二十岁到六十岁的男人，你要按着圣所衡量银子的标准，估价五百五十克银子。 4 如果是女人，你要估价三百四十二克银子。 5 如果是五岁到二十岁，男子的估价是二百二十八克银子，女子是一百一十四克银子。 6 如果是一个月到五岁，男子的估价是五十七克银子，女子是三十四克银子。 7 如果是六十岁以上，男子的估价是一百七十一克银子，女子是一百一十四克银子。 8 那人若是贫穷，不能支付你估定的价，就要把他带到祭司面前，让祭司估定他的价；祭司就按着许愿的人的经济能力，估定他的价。 9 如果所许的是可以献给耶和华为供物的牲畜，献给耶和华的任何牲畜，都要分别为圣。 10 不可更换，也不可代替；无论是好的换坏的，或是坏的换好的，都不可以。如果人一定要以另一只牲畜代替以前所许的牲畜献上，那么以前所许的和用来交换的，都要分别为圣。 11 所许的若是不洁净的牲畜，人不能把牠献给耶和华为供物，就要把牲畜牵到祭司面前； 12 祭司要按牲畜的好坏估价；祭司估价多少，就是多少。 13 如果他一定要把牲畜赎回，就要按你的估价，多付五分之一。
14 “如果有人把房屋分别为圣献给耶和华，祭司要按房屋的好坏估价，祭司估价多少，就定它价值多少。 15 把自己房屋分别为圣的人，如果要赎回房屋，就要按你估定的价银，多加五分之一，房屋才可以归他。
16 “如果有人把自己产业的一部分，分别为圣献给耶和华，你的估价要根据那地的撒种量：每撒大麦二十公斤，估价五百七十克银子。 17 如果他从禧年起，把自己的田地分别为圣，就要按照你的估价定那田地的价值。 18 如果他在禧年以后，把自己的田地分别为圣，祭司就要照着到下一个禧年所剩余的年数，给他计算价银，然后从你的估价减去这价银。 19 把自己田地分别为圣的人，如果一定要赎回田地，就要按你的估价，多付五分之一，田地才可以归他。 20 如果他不赎回田地，而卖给别人，他就再也不能赎回田地了。 21 到了禧年，买主就要交出那地归耶和华为圣，像永属耶和华的圣地一样，归祭司为产业。 22 如果人把买来的田地，不是自己承受为业的田地，分别为圣献给耶和华， 23 祭司就要按照你的估价，给他计算，直到禧年为止；价值多少，他必须当天付给你估定的价银，表示把那地献给耶和华为圣。 24 到了禧年，那地要归还卖主，就是归还那承受那地为业的原主。 25 你的一切估价，都要照着圣所衡量银子的标准。
26 “唯独牲畜的头一胎，无论是牛或是羊，既然头一胎是属于耶和华的，人就不能再把牠分别为圣，因为这本是耶和华的。 27 但如果是不洁净的牲畜，他就要按照你的估价，加上五分之一把牠赎回；如果不赎回，就要按照你的估价卖掉。
28 “一切永属耶和华的圣物，就是人永献给耶和华的物，无论是人或是牲畜，或是他承受作产业的田地，都不可以变卖，也不可以赎回；一切永献之物都是归耶和华为至圣的。 29 如果有人永献牲畜作永属耶和华的圣物，就不可赎回；必须把牠杀死。
什一之物
30 “地上的一切，无论是地上的种子或是树上的果子，十分之一是耶和华的，是归给耶和华为圣的。 31 如果人一定要赎回这十分之一，除物价以外，还要加上五分之一。 32 牛群和羊群的十分之一，就是一切从牧人杖下经过的，每第十只都是归耶和华为圣的。 33 人不可理会是好或是坏，也不可把牠更换；如果一定要更换，本来的与更换的，都要分别为圣，不能赎回。”
34 以上这些就是耶和华在西奈山，为以色列人吩咐摩西的律例。
Leviticus 27
Easy-to-Read Version
Promises Are Important
27 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites: You might promise to give someone to the Lord as a servant. The priest must set a price for that person. 3 The price for a man from 20 to 60 years old is 50 shekels[a] of silver. (You must use the official measure for the silver.) 4 The price for a woman who is 20 to 60 years old is 30 shekels. 5 The price for a man from 5 to 20 years old is 20 shekels. For a woman the price is 10 shekels. 6 The price for a boy from one month to five years old is 5 shekels. For a girl, the price is 3 shekels. 7 The price for a man who is 60 years old or older is 15 shekels. The price for a woman is 10 shekels.
8 “If anyone is too poor to pay the price, bring that person to the priest. The priest will decide how much money the person can afford to pay.
Gifts to the Lord
9 “You might promise to give an animal to the Lord. If it is a clean animal—one that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord—then the animal you bring will become holy. 10 You must not put any other animal in its place. Don’t try to trade a good animal for a bad one or a bad animal for a good one. If you try to change animals, both animals will become holy—they will both belong to the Lord.
11 “The animal you promised might be one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord. If you promised one of these unclean animals, you must bring it to the priest. 12 The priest will decide a price for that animal. It doesn’t make any difference if the animal is good or bad. If the priest decides on a price, that is the price for the animal. 13 If you want to buy back the animal,[b] then you must add one-fifth to the price.
The Value of a House
14 “If you dedicate your house as holy to the Lord, the priest must decide its price. It doesn’t make any difference if the house is good or bad. If the priest decides on a price, that is the price for the house. 15 But if you want to get the house back, you must add one-fifth to the price. Then you will get the house back.
The Value of a Field
16 “You might dedicate a field to the Lord. The value of this field will depend on how much seed is needed to plant it. It will be 50 shekels of silver for each homer[c] of barley seed. 17 If you give your field to God during the year of Jubilee, then its value will be whatever the priest decides. 18 But if you give your field after the Jubilee, the priest must decide its exact price. He must count the number of years to the next year of Jubilee and use that number to decide the price. 19 If you want to buy the field back, you must add one-fifth to that price. Then you will get the field back. 20 If you don’t buy the field back and the land is sold to someone else, you cannot get the land back. 21 If you don’t buy the land back by the year of Jubilee, the field will remain holy to the Lord—it will belong to the priest forever. It will be treated like any other thing that was given completely to the Lord.
22 “If you dedicate a field to the Lord that you had bought, and it is not a part of your family’s property,[d] 23 then the priest must count the years to the year of Jubilee and decide the price for the land. Then that land will belong to the Lord. 24 At the year of Jubilee, the land will go to the family that originally owned the land.
25 “You must use the official measure in paying these prices. The shekel by that measure weighs 20 gerahs.[e]
Value of Animals
26 “You can give cattle and sheep as special gifts to the Lord. But if the animal is the firstborn, it already belongs to the Lord. So you cannot give these animals as special gifts. 27 If the firstborn animal is an unclean animal, you must buy back that animal. The priest will decide the price of the animal, and you must add one-fifth to that price. If you don’t buy that animal back, the priest will sell the animal for whatever price he decides.
Special Gifts
28 “There is a special kind of gift[f] that people give to the Lord. It belongs only to him, and it cannot be bought back or sold. This gift belongs to the Lord. This type of gift includes people, animals, and fields from the family property. 29 If this gift is a person, that person cannot be bought back. That person must be killed.
30 “A tenth of all crops belongs to the Lord. This means the crops from fields and the fruit from trees—a tenth belongs to the Lord. 31 So if you want to get back your tenth, you must add one-fifth to its price and then buy it back.
32 “The priests will take every tenth animal from a person’s cattle or sheep. Every tenth animal will belong to the Lord. 33 The owner should not worry if the chosen animal is good or bad or change the animal for another animal. If this happens, both animals will belong to the Lord. That animal cannot be bought back.”
34 These are the commands that the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
