Keep Your Promises to the Lord
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘Suppose someone makes a special promise to set a person apart to serve the Lord. Here is how much it will cost to set that person free from the promise to serve. 3The cost for a male between the ages of twenty and sixty is 20 ounces of silver. It must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights that are used in the sacred tent. 4The cost for a female of the same age is 12 ounces of silver. 5The cost for a male between the ages of five and twenty is 8 ounces of silver. The cost for a female of the same age is 4 ounces of silver. 6The cost for a male between the ages of one month and five years is 2 ounces of silver. The cost for a female of the same age is 1 ounce of silver. 7The cost for a male who is sixty years old or more is 6 ounces of silver. The cost for a female of the same age is 4 ounces of silver. 8But suppose the one who makes the special promise is too poor to pay the required amount. Then they must bring to the priest the person who will be set free. The priest will decide the right value for that person. It will be based on how much the one who makes the promise can afford.
9“ ‘Suppose what they promised is an animal that the Lord will accept as an offering. Then the animal given to the Lord becomes holy. 10The one who makes the promise must not trade it. They must not trade a good animal for a bad one. And they must not trade a bad animal for a good one. Suppose they choose one animal instead of another. Then both animals become holy. 11Suppose the animal they promised is not “clean.” Suppose the Lord will not accept it as an offering. Then the animal must be brought to the priest. 12He will decide whether it is good or bad. Its value will be what he decides it will be. 13Suppose the owner wants to buy the animal back. Then a fifth must be added to its cost.
14“ ‘Suppose someone sets apart their house as something holy to the Lord. Then the priest will decide whether it is good or bad. Its value will remain what he decides it will be. 15Suppose the person sets apart their house. And suppose later they want to buy it back. Then they must add a fifth to its value. The house will belong to them again.
16“ ‘Suppose someone sets apart a piece of their family’s land to the Lord. Then here is how its value must be decided. It must be based on the number of seeds that are required to grow a full crop on it. That value will be 20 ounces of silver for every 300 pounds of barley seeds. 17Suppose they set apart their field during the Year of Jubilee. Then the value that has been decided will not be changed. 18But suppose they set apart their field after the Year of Jubilee. Then here is how the priest will decide its value. It will be based on the number of years that are left until the next Year of Jubilee. The value decided will be reduced. 19Suppose the one who set apart their field wants to buy it back. Then they must add a fifth to its value. The field will belong to them again. 20But suppose they do not buy back the field. Instead, suppose they sell it to someone else. Then they can never buy it back. 21When the field is set free in the Year of Jubilee, it will become holy. It will be like a field set apart to the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.
22“ ‘Suppose someone sets apart to the Lord a field they have bought. And suppose it is not part of their family’s land. 23Then here is how the priest will decide its value. It will be based on the number of years that are left until the Year of Jubilee. The owner must pay that value on the day it is decided. The money is holy. It is set apart for the Lord. 24In the Year of Jubilee the field will go back to the person it was bought from. That person is the one who had owned the land before. 25Every amount of money must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights used in the sacred tent.
26“ ‘But no one can set apart the first male animal born to its mother. That animal already belongs to the Lord. It does not matter whether it is an ox or a sheep. It belongs to the Lord. 27Suppose it is an “unclean” animal. Then the owner may buy it back at the value that has been decided. And they must add a fifth to its value. But suppose it is not bought back. Then it must be sold at the value that has been decided.
28“ ‘But nothing a person owns and sets apart to the Lord can be sold or bought back. It does not matter whether it is a human being or an animal or a family’s land. Everything set apart to the Lord is very holy to him.
29“ ‘No one set apart in a special way to be destroyed can be bought back. They must be put to death.
30“ ‘A tenth of everything the land produces belongs to the Lord. That includes grain from the soil and fruit from the trees. It is holy. It is set apart for him. 31Suppose someone wants to buy back some of their tenth. Then they must add a fifth of the cost to it. 32Every tenth part of herds and flocks will be holy. They will be set apart for the Lord. That includes every tenth animal that its shepherd marks with his wooden staff. 33No one may pick out the good animals from the bad. They must not choose one animal instead of another. But if anyone does, both animals become holy. They can’t be bought back.’ ”
34The Lord gave Moses all these commands on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
Ang Pagtubos ng mga Bagay na Inihandog sa Panginoon
1Inutusan ng Panginoon si Moises 2na 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, 3-7kung 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.
8Kung 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.
9Kung ang panatang handog ay hayop na maaaring ihandog sa Panginoon, ang hayop na iyon ay sa Panginoon na. 10Iyon 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. 11Kung ang kanyang panatang hayop ay itinuturing na marumi at hindi maaaring ihandog sa Panginoon, dadalhin niya iyon sa pari. 12Titingnan iyon ng pari kung mabuti ba ito o hindi, at bibigyan niya ito ng halaga27:12 bibigyan … halaga: Upang ito ay maipagbili at ang pera ay gagamitin sa Tolda o sa Toldang Tipanan. at hindi na maaaring baguhin pa. 13Kung babawiin ng may-ari ang hayop. Kinakailangang bayaran niya ang halaga ng hayop at dadagdagan pa niya ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito.
14Kung 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. 15Kung 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.
16Kung 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. 17Kung ihahandog niya ang kanyang bukid pagkatapos ng Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, ganoon pa rin ang halaga nito. 18Pero 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. 19Kung 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. 20Pero kung ipagbili niya ang bukid nang hindi pa niya natutubos, hindi na niya ito mababawi. 21At 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.
22Kung ang inihandog naman ay lupang binili, 23itoʼy 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. 24Sa Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, ang nasabing lupain ay isasauli sa may-ari na nagbenta ng lupaing iyon.
25Ang lahat ng halaga ng mga ito na inihandog sa Panginoon ay kinakailangang ayon sa bigat ng pilak sa timbangang ginagamit ng mga pari.
26Ang 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. 27Pero 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.
28Ang anumang bagay na lubusang itinalaga27:28 lubusang itinalaga: Ang ibig sabihin, ang anumang bagay na itinalaga sa Panginoon ay hindi na maaaring bawiin pa dahil itoʼy sa mga pari na magpakailanman. sa Panginoon ay hindi na maaaring ipagbili o tubusin maging itoʼy tao o hayop o lupaing minana dahil iyon ay sa Panginoon na. 29Ang taong lubusang inihandog sa Panginoon ay hindi na maaaring tubusin. Dapat siyang patayin.
30Ang ikasampung bahagi ng lahat ng ani ay sa Panginoon. 31Kung tutubusin ng sinuman ang ikasampung bahagi ng kanyang ani, kinakailangan niyang bayaran ang halaga at dadagdagan pa ng 20 porsiyento ng halaga nito. 32Kung bibilangin ninyo ang inyong mga baka, tupa, o kambing, lahat ng ikasampung bahagi ay ibibigay ninyo sa Panginoon. 33Hindi 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.
34Ito ang mga utos na ibinigay ng Panginoon kay Moises doon sa bundok ng Sinai para sa mga Israelita.
