1上主訓示梅瑟說： 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2「你告訴以色列子民說：若人以人身許願，應將人身的代價獻給上主， 2Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
3由二十歲到六十歲的男人，根據聖所的『協刻耳』，估價應是五十銀『協刻耳』； 3If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
4若是女人，估價應是三十『協刻耳』。 4If a woman, thirty.
5由五歲到二十歲，若是男性，估價應是二十『協刻耳』，女性為十『協刻耳』。 5But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6由一月到五歲，若是男性，估價為五銀『協刻耳』；若是女性，估價為三銀『協刻耳』。 6From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
7六十歲以上的人，若是男性，估價為十五『協刻耳』，女性為十『協刻耳』。 7A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
8但若是人窮，不能支付這估價，應帶他到司祭面前。司祭估定他的價格；司祭要按許願人的財力，估定價格。 8If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
9如所許的是可獻於上主作祭品的獸類，獻於上主的任何走獸，應視為聖的， 9But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall vow, shall be holy,
10不可更換，不可替代，不能以好換壞，或以壞換好；如果人拿一隻走獸換另一隻，以前所許的和以後所換的，都應視為聖的。 10And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11如所許的是一隻不潔，不堪獻於上主作祭品的走獸，就應將牠牽到司祭前， 11An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12司祭估定牠的好壞；司祭估多少，就是多少； 12Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13如許願的人願把牠贖回，除了司祭估定的價值外，還應加五分之一。 13Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14若人把自己的房屋，獻於上主，司祭應估定它的好壞；司祭估多少，就是多少。 14If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
15如果獻房屋的人再願贖回，除估定的價值外，還應加五分之一，房屋才可歸他。 15But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.
16若人將自己的一部份田產獻於上主，估價應按地播種所需要的數量；一『荷默爾』大麥種子，為五十銀『協刻耳』。 16And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.
17若人由喜年起，獻了自己的田地，這個估價就是定價； 17If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
18但如果在喜年以後獻自己的田地，司祭應按至喜年尚餘的年數給他估價，把估價減低。 18But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
19如獻田地的人再願贖回，除司祭估定的價錢外，還應加五分之一，田地仍歸於他； 19And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
20但若他不但沒有把田地贖回，反而賣給別人，不能再贖回； 20And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
21一到喜年，田地應退還時，應獻於上主，當作禁田，歸於司祭，成為他的產業。 21For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
22若人將自己買來的田地，而非祖業，獻於上主， 22If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors' possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
23司祭就應估定這田地直到喜年所有的價值，那人應在當天支付你估定的價錢，這是歸上主的聖物。 23The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.
24一到喜年，這田地應退還給賣田的人，歸於這塊田地的原有人。 24But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
25一切估價都應按聖所的『協刻耳』；一『協刻耳』等於二十『革辣』。 25All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
26至於頭胎牲畜，既是頭胎，應屬於上主，人不能再奉獻；不論是牛是羊，已屬於上主。 26The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord's.
27若是不潔牲畜的頭胎，人應照估價贖回，再加五分之一；如不贖回，應照估價賣掉。 27And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
28凡照禁物法獻於上主之物，凡人所有的，不論是人，或是牲畜，或是一部份田產，便不可變賣，亦不可贖回；凡禁物都是屬於上主的至聖之物。 28Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
29凡照禁物法應處置的人，便不可贖回，應將他處死。 29And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
30凡土地的出產，或是田地的穀物，或是樹木的果實，十分之一應歸於上主，是獻於上主的聖物。 30All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.
31人若願意把應獻的十分之一贖回一部份，除物價外，應另加五分之一。 31And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
32凡牛群或羊群，由牧童杖下經過的每第十隻，亦即全群十分之一，應獻於上主； 32Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33人不應追究是好是壞，亦不可將牠更換；更換了，以前所有的和以後所換的，都應視為聖物，不得贖回。」 33It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
34這是上主在西乃山為以色列子民向梅瑟吩咐的法令。 34These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
