Levítico 27

BIBLIA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Habló Yahveh a Moisés, diciendo;	1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 Habla a los israelitas y diles: Si alguien quiere cumplir ante Yahveh un voto relativo al valor de tasación de una persona,	2 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When anyone fulfills a vow of offering one or more persons to the LORD, who are to be ransomed at a fixed sum of money,
3 si se trata de un varón de veinte a sesenta años, el valor se estimará en cincuenta siclos de plata, en siclos del santuario.	3 for persons between the ages of twenty and sixty, the fixed sum, in sanctuary shekels, shall be fifty silver shekels for a man,
4 Mas si se trata de una mujer, el valor será de treinta siclos.	4 and thirty shekels for a woman;
5 De los cinco a los veinte años el valor será: para varón, veinte siclos; para mujer, diez siclos.	5 for persons between the ages of five and twenty, the fixed sum shall be twenty shekels for a youth, and ten for a maiden;
6 De un mes hasta la edad de cinco años, el valor será: para niño, cinco siclos de plata; para niña, tres siclos de plata.	6 for persons between the ages of one month and five years, the fixed sum shall be five silver shekels for a boy, and three for a girl;
7 De sesenta años en adelante el valor será: para varón, quince siclos; para mujer, diez siclos.	7 for persons of sixty or more, the fixed sum shall be fifteen shekels for a man, and ten for a woman.
8 Si uno es tan pobre que no puede pagar esta valoración, presentará la persona al sacerdote, el cual estimará su valor; el sacerdote la valuará en proporción a los recursos del oferente.	8 However, if the one who took the vow is too poor to meet the fixed sum, the person must be set before the priest, who shall determine the sum for his ransom in keeping with the means of the one who made the vow.
9 Si se trata de un animal que se puede ofrecer a Yahveh como ofrenda, todo lo que se entregue así a Yahveh será cosa sagrada.	9 "If the offering vowed to the LORD is an animal that may be sacrificed, every such animal, when vowed to the LORD, becomes sacred.
10 No se cambiará ni se sustituirá bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si se sustituye un animal por otro, tanto el permutado como su sustituto serán cosa sagrada.	10 The offerer shall not present a substitute for it by exchanging either a better for a worse one or a worse for a better one. If he attempts to offer one animal in place of another, both the original and its substitute shall be treated as sacred.
11 Mas si se trata de un animal impuro, de los que no se pueden ofrecer como ofrenda a Yahveh, se presentará el animal al sacerdote,	11 If the animal vowed to the LORD is unclean and therefore unfit for sacrifice, it must be set before the priest,
12 el cual lo tasará según sea bueno o malo; y se estará a su tasación.	12 who shall determine its value in keeping with its good or bad qualities, and the value set by the priest shall stand.
13 Si uno quiere rescatarlo, añadirá un quinto más a su valuación.	13 If the offerer wishes to redeem the animal, he shall pay one fifth more than this valuation.
14 Si alguno consagra su casa, como cosa sagrada, a Yahveh, el sacerdote la tasará, según sea buena o mala. Conforme a la tasación del sacerdote, así se fijará.	14 "When someone dedicates his house as sacred to the LORD, the priest shall determine its value in keeping with its good or bad points, and the value set by the priest shall stand.
15 Si el que consagró la casa desea rescatarla, añadirá la quinta parte al precio de su tasación, y será suya.	15 If the one who dedicated his house wishes to redeem it, he shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and then it will again be his.
16 Si uno consagra parte del campo de su propiedad a Yahveh, será estimado según su sembradura, a razón de cincuenta siclos de plata por cada carga de cebada de sembradura.	16 "If the object which someone dedicates to the LORD is a piece of his hereditary land, its valuation shall be made according to the amount of seed required to sow it, the acreage sown with a homer of barley seed being valued at fifty silver shekels.
17 Si él consagró su campo durante el año del jubileo se atenderá a esta tasación.	17 If the dedication of a field is made at the beginning of a jubilee period, the full valuation shall hold;
18 Pero si consagra su campo después del jubileo, el sacerdote calculará su precio a razón de los años que quedan hasta el año del jubileo; y lo descontará de la tasación.	18 but if it is some time after this, the priest shall estimate its money value according to the number of years left until the next jubilee year, with a corresponding rebate on the valuation.
19 Si el que consagró el campo desea rescatarlo, añadirá la quinta parte al precio de la tasación, y será suyo.	19 If the one who dedicated his field wishes to redeem it, he shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and so reclaim it.
20 Pero si nos rescata el campo, y éste se vende o otro, el campo no podrá ser rescatado en adelante.	20 If, instead of redeeming such a field, he sells it to someone else, it may no longer be redeemed;
21 Ese campo, cuando quede libre en el jubileo, será consagrada a Yahveh como campo de anatema y será propiedad del sacerdote.	21 but at the jubilee it shall be released as sacred to the LORD; like a field that is doomed, it shall become priestly property.
22 Si alguno consagra a Yahveh un campo que compró y que no forma parte de su propiedad,	22 "If the field that some man dedicates to the LORD is one he had purchased and not a part of his hereditary property,
23 el sacerdote calculará el importe de su valor hasta el año del jubileo; y él pagará ese mismo día la suma de la tasación como cosa sagrada de Yahveh.	23 the priest shall compute its value in proportion to the number of years until the next jubilee, and on the same day the price thus established shall be given as sacred to the LORD;
24 El año del jubileo volverá el campo al vendedor, al que pertenece como propiedad de la tierra.	24 at the jubilee, however, the field shall revert to the hereditary owner of this land from whom it had been purchased.
25 Toda tasación se hará en siclos del santuario; veinte óbolos equivalen a un siclo.	25 "Every valuation shall be made according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel. There are twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 Nadie, sin embargo, podrá consagrar los primogénitos de su ganado que ya, por ser tales, pertenecen a Yahveh. Sean del ganado mayor o del menor, pertenecen a Yahveh.	26 "Note that a first-born animal, which as such already belongs to the LORD, may not be dedicated by vow to him. If it is an ox or a sheep, it shall be ceded to the LORD;
27 Si se trata de un animal impuro, y lo quiere rescatar según la tasación, añadirá la quinta parte al precio; pero si no es rescatado, será vendido, conforme a la tasación.	27 but if it is an unclean animal, it may be redeemed by paying one fifth more than its fixed value. If it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its fixed value.
28 Nada de lo que a uno pertenece - hombre, animal o campo de su propiedad - que haya sido consagrado a Yahveh con anatema podrá venderse ni rescatarse. Todo anatema es cosa sacratísima para Yahveh.	28 "Note, also, that any one of his possessions which a man vows as doomed to the LORD, whether it is a human being or an animal or a hereditary field, shall be neither sold nor ransomed; everything that is thus doomed becomes most sacred to the LORD.
29 Ningún ser humano consagrado como anatema podrá ser rescatado; deberá morir.	29 All human beings that are doomed lose the right to be redeemed; they must be put to death.
30 El diezmo entero de la tierra, tanto de las semillas de la tierra como de los frutos de los árboles, es de Yahveh; es cosa sagrada de Yahveh.	30 "All tithes of the land, whether in grain from the fields or in fruit from the trees, belong to the LORD, as sacred to him.
31 Si alguno quiere rescatar parte de su diezmo, añadirá la quinta parte de su valor.	31 If someone wishes to buy back any of his tithes, he shall pay one fifth more than their value.
32 Todo diezmo de ganado mayor o menor, es decir, cada décima cabeza que pasa bajo el cayado, será cosa sagrada de Yahveh.	32 The tithes of the herd and the flock shall be determined by ceding to the LORD as sacred every tenth animal as they are counted by the herdsman's rod.
33 No se escogerá entre animal bueno o malo, ni se le puede sustituir; y si se hace cambio, tanto el animal permutado como su sustituto serán cosas sagradas; no podrán ser rescatados.	33 It shall not matter whether good ones or bad ones are thus chosen, and no exchange may be made. If any exchange is attempted, both the original animal and its substitute shall be treated as sacred, without the right of being bought back."
34 Estos son los mandamientos que Yahveh encomendó a Moisés para los hijos de Israel en el monte Sinaí.	34 These are the commandments which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
