Redemption of Gifts Offered to the Lord

27 The Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate someone to the Lord by paying the value of that person, here is the scale of values to be used. A man between the ages of twenty and sixty is valued at fifty shekels[a] of silver, as measured by the sanctuary shekel. A woman of that age is valued at thirty shekels[b] of silver. A boy between the ages of five and twenty is valued at twenty shekels of silver; a girl of that age is valued at ten shekels[c] of silver. A boy between the ages of one month and five years is valued at five shekels of silver; a girl of that age is valued at three shekels[d] of silver. A man older than sixty is valued at fifteen shekels of silver; a woman of that age is valued at ten shekels[e] of silver. If you desire to make such a vow but cannot afford to pay the required amount, take the person to the priest. He will determine the amount for you to pay based on what you can afford.

“If your vow involves giving an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, any gift to the Lord will be considered holy. 10 You may not exchange or substitute it for another animal—neither a good animal for a bad one nor a bad animal for a good one. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy. 11 If your vow involves an unclean animal—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord—then you must bring the animal to the priest. 12 He will assess its value, and his assessment will be final, whether high or low. 13 If you want to buy back the animal, you must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent.

14 “If someone dedicates a house to the Lord, the priest will come to assess its value. The priest’s assessment will be final, whether high or low. 15 If the person who dedicated the house wants to buy it back, he must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the house will again be his.

16 “If someone dedicates to the Lord a piece of his family property, its value will be assessed according to the amount of seed required to plant it—fifty shekels of silver for a field planted with five bushels of barley seed.[f] 17 If the field is dedicated to the Lord in the Year of Jubilee, then the entire assessment will apply. 18 But if the field is dedicated after the Year of Jubilee, the priest will assess the land’s value in proportion to the number of years left until the next Year of Jubilee. Its assessed value is reduced each year. 19 If the person who dedicated the field wants to buy it back, he must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the field will again be legally his. 20 But if he does not want to buy it back, and it is sold to someone else, the field can no longer be bought back. 21 When the field is released in the Year of Jubilee, it will be holy, a field specially set apart[g] for the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.

22 “If someone dedicates to the Lord a field he has purchased but which is not part of his family property, 23 the priest will assess its value based on the number of years left until the next Year of Jubilee. On that day he must give the assessed value of the land as a sacred donation to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field must be returned to the person from whom he purchased it, the one who inherited it as family property. 25 (All the payments must be measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel,[h] which equals twenty gerahs.)

26 “You may not dedicate a firstborn animal to the Lord, for the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats already belong to him. 27 However, you may buy back the firstborn of a ceremonially unclean animal by paying the priest’s assessment of its worth, plus 20 percent. If you do not buy it back, the priest will sell it at its assessed value.

28 “However, anything specially set apart for the Lord—whether a person, an animal, or family property—must never be sold or bought back. Anything devoted in this way has been set apart as holy, and it belongs to the Lord. 29 No person specially set apart for destruction may be bought back. Such a person must be put to death.

30 “One-tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord and must be set apart to him as holy. 31 If you want to buy back the Lord’s tenth of the grain or fruit, you must pay its value, plus 20 percent. 32 Count off every tenth animal from your herds and flocks and set them apart for the Lord as holy. 33 You may not pick and choose between good and bad animals, and you may not substitute one for another. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy and cannot be bought back.”

34 These are the commands that the Lord gave through Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.

27 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When a man shall articulate a neder, the nefashot shall be for Hashem by thy evaluation.

And thy evaluation shall be of the zachar from esrim shanim even unto shishim shanah, even thy evaluation shall be fifty shekels kesef, after the shekel HaKodesh.

And if it be a nekevah, then thy evaluation shall be shloshim shekel.

And if it be from chamesh shanim even unto esrim shanah, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar esrim shekel, and for the nekevah aseret shekalim.

And if it be from a month old even unto chamesh shanim, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar chamishah shekalim kesef, and for the nekevah thy evaluation shall be shloshet shekalim kesef.

And if it be from shishim shanah and above, if it be a zachar, then thy evaluation shall be chamishah asar shekel, and for the nekevah asarah shekalim.

But if he be poorer than thy evaluation, then he shall present himself before the kohen, and the kohen shall value him; according to the ability of the one who vowed the neder shall the kohen value him.

And if it be a behemah, whereof men bring a korban unto Hashem, all that any man giveth of such unto Hashem shall be kodesh.

10 He shall not exchange it, nor substitute it, a tov for a rah, or rah for tov: and if he shall at all substitute behemah for behemah, then it and the substitute thereof shall be kodesh.

11 And if it be any behemah temeiah, of which they do not offer a korban unto Hashem, then he shall present the behemah before the kohen;

12 And the kohen shall value it, whether it be tov or rah; as thou valuest it, who art the kohen, so shall it be.

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add chamishto (a fifth part thereof) unto thy evaluation.

14 And when a man shall set apart as kodesh his bais to be kodesh unto Hashem, then the kohen shall evaluate it, whether it be tov or rah; as the kohen shall set the value of it, so shall it remain.

15 And if he that set it apart as kodesh will redeem his bais, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man shall set apart as kodesh unto Hashem some part of a sadeh of his possession, then thy evaluation shall be according to its seeding; an area seeded by a homer of barley shall be valued at chamishim shekel kesef.

17 If he set apart as kodesh his sadeh from the Shnat HaYovel, according to thy evaluation it shall remain.

18 But if he set apart as kodesh his sadeh after the Yovel, then the kohen shall reckon unto him the kesef according to the shanim that remain, even unto the Shnat HaYovel, and it shall be deducted from thy evaluation.

19 And if he that set apart as kodesh the sadeh will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.

20 And if he will not redeem the sadeh, or if he have sold the sadeh to ish achar (another man), it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 But the sadeh, when it is released in the Yovel, shall be kodesh unto Hashem, as a sadeh hacherem (devoted); the possession thereof shall be the kohen’s.

22 And if a man set apart as kodesh unto Hashem a sadeh which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession [i.e., ancestral heritage],

23 Then the kohen shall reckon unto him the worth of thy evaluation, even unto the Shnat HaYovel: and he shall give thine evaluation in that day, as kodesh unto Hashem.

24 In the Shnat HaYovel the sadeh shall return and revert unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the Achuzzat HaAretz (Ancestral Heritage of the Land) did belong.

25 And all thy evaluations shall be according to the shekel HaKodesh; twenty gerah shall be the shekel.

26 Only the bechor of the behemah, which should be Hashem’s Bechor, no man shall set it apart as kodesh; whether it be shor (ox), or seh (sheep): it is Hashem’s.

27 And if it be of a behemah hatemeiah, then he shall redeem it according to thine evaluation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy evaluation.

28 Nevertheless, no cherem (devoted thing), that a man shall devote unto Hashem of all that he hath, both of adam and behemah, and of the sadeh of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every cherem is kodesh kodashim unto Hashem.

29 No cherem, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 And all the ma’aser HaAretz (tithe of the Land), whether of the zera HaAretz, or of the pri HaEtz, is Hashem’s; it is kodesh unto Hashem.

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his ma’asor (tithes), he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32 And concerning the ma’aser of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be kodesh unto Hashem.

33 He shall not search whether it be tov or rah, neither shall he change it; and if he substitute it at all, then both it and the substitute thereof shall be kodesh; it shall not be redeemed.

34 These are the mitzvot, which Hashem commanded Moshe for the Bnei Yisroel in Mt. Sinai.

27 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.

And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.

10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

22 And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord's.

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Ang Pagtubos ng mga Bagay na Inihandog sa Panginoon

27 Inutusan ng Panginoon si Moises na sabihin ito sa mga Israelita:

Kung ang isang tao ay inihandog sa Panginoon bilang pagtupad sa isang panata, ang taong iyon ay maaari pang matubos sa panatang iyon, 3-7 kung babayaran niya ng pilak, ang kanyang halaga ay kinakailangang ayon sa bigat ng pilak sa timbangang ginagamit ng mga pari:

Sa edad na isang buwan hanggang apat na taon

lalaki: limang pirasong pilak

babae: tatlong pirasong pilak

Sa edad na lima hanggang 19 na taon

lalaki: 20 pirasong pilak

babae: sampung pirasong pilak

Sa edad na 20 hanggang 59 na taon

lalaki: 50 pirasong pilak

babae: 30 pirasong pilak

Sa edad na 60 taon pataas

lalaki: 15 pirasong pilak

babae: sampung pirasong pilak.

Kung dukha ang nagpanata at hindi kayang magbayad ng nasabing halaga, dadalhin niya sa pari ang taong ipinanata niyang ihahandog sa Panginoon, at ang pari ang siyang magbibigay ng halaga ayon sa makakayanan ng tao.

Kung ang panatang handog ay hayop na maaaring ihandog sa Panginoon, ang hayop na iyon ay sa Panginoon na. 10 Iyon ay hindi na niya maaaring palitan kahit mas maganda pa ang kanyang ipapalit. Kapag pinalitan niya ito, ang hayop na kanyang ipinanata pati ang ipinalit ay parehong sa Panginoon na. 11 Kung ang kanyang panatang hayop ay itinuturing na marumi at hindi maaaring ihandog sa Panginoon, dadalhin niya iyon sa pari. 12 Titingnan iyon ng pari kung mabuti ba ito o hindi, at bibigyan niya ito ng halaga[a] at hindi na maaaring baguhin pa. 13 Kung babawiin ng may-ari ang hayop. Kinakailangang bayaran niya ang halaga ng hayop at dadagdagan pa niya ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito.

14 Kung bahay naman ang panatang handog sa Panginoon, titingnan muna ng pari ang nasabing bahay kung mabuti ba ito o hindi, at saka niya bibigyan ng halaga at hindi na maaaring baguhin pa. 15 Kung babawiin ng may-ari ang kanyang bahay, kinakailangang bayaran niya ang halaga ng bahay at dadagdagan pa niya ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito at saka ibabalik sa kanya ang bahay.

16 Kung ang inihandog naman sa Panginoon ay bahagi ng lupaing minana sa kanyang mga magulang, itoʼy bibigyan ng halaga ng pari ayon sa dami ng binhing maaaring ihasik sa lupaing iyon: Sa bawat kalahating sako ng binhing maihahasik, ang halaga ng lupa ay 20 pirasong pilak. 17 Kung ihahandog niya ang kanyang bukid pagkatapos ng Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, ganoon pa rin ang halaga nito. 18 Pero kung sa bandang huli na niya ihahandog, bibigyan ito ng halaga ng pari ng mas mababa, batay sa dami ng taon na natitira hanggang sa susunod na Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli. 19 Kung babawiin ng may-ari ang kanyang bukid, kinakailangang bayaran niya ang halaga ng bukid at dadagdagan pa niya ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito. At saka ibabalik sa kanya ang bukid. 20 Pero kung ipagbili niya ang bukid nang hindi pa niya natutubos, hindi na niya ito mababawi. 21 At pagsapit ng Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, iyon ay sa Panginoon na, at hindi na niya mababawi pa. Iyon ay magiging pag-aari na ng mga pari.

22 Kung ang inihandog naman ay lupang binili, 23 itoʼy bibigyan ng halaga ng pari ayon sa dami ng natitirang taon bago dumating ang Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli. Dapat itong tubusin ng taong iyon. At ang halagang itinubos ay sa Panginoon na. 24 Sa Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, ang nasabing lupain ay isasauli sa may-ari na nagbenta ng lupaing iyon.

25 Ang lahat ng halaga ng mga ito na inihandog sa Panginoon ay kinakailangang ayon sa bigat ng pilak sa timbangang ginagamit ng mga pari.

26 Ang panganay na anak ng hayop ay sa Panginoon na, kaya itoʼy hindi na maaaring ihandog sa kanya. Ito ay sa Panginoon, maging baka man ito o tupa. 27 Pero kung ang hayop ay itinuturing na marumi, iyon ay maaaring tubusin ng may-ari. Babayaran niya ang halaga ng hayop at dadagdagan pa niya ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito. Pero kung iyon ay hindi tutubusin ng may-ari, ipagbibili iyon ng pari ayon sa itinakdang halaga.

28 Ang anumang bagay na lubusang itinalaga[b] sa Panginoon ay hindi na maaaring ipagbili o tubusin maging itoʼy tao o hayop o lupaing minana dahil iyon ay sa Panginoon na. 29 Ang taong lubusang inihandog sa Panginoon ay hindi na maaaring tubusin. Dapat siyang patayin.

30 Ang ikasampung bahagi ng lahat ng ani ay sa Panginoon. 31 Kung tutubusin ng sinuman ang ikasampung bahagi ng kanyang ani, kinakailangan niyang bayaran ang halaga at dadagdagan pa ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito. 32 Kung bibilangin ninyo ang inyong mga baka, tupa, o kambing, lahat ng ikasampung bahagi ay ibibigay ninyo sa Panginoon. 33 Hindi ninyo ito dapat piliin o palitan. Kung papalitan ninyo ito, ang inyong ipinalit na hayop at ang pinalitan nito ay parehong ilalaan sa Panginoon na at hindi na maaaring tubusin.

34 Ito ang mga utos na ibinigay ng Panginoon kay Moises doon sa bundok ng Sinai para sa mga Israelita.
