Leviticus 27
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
2Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord,λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ὃς ἂν εὔξηται εὐχὴν ὥστε τιμὴν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ,
3the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be his valuation shall be fifty didrachmas of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς, ἕως ἑξηκονταετοῦς, ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ τιμὴ πεντήκοντα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου τῷ σταθμῷ τῷ ἁγίῳ·
4And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachmas.Τῆς δὲ θηλείας ἔσται ἡ συντίμησις τριάκοντα δίδραχμα.
5And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachmas, and of a female ten didrachmas.Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ πενταετοῦς ἕως εἴκοσι ἐτῶν, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος εἴκοσι δίδραχμα· τῆς δὲ θηλείας, δέκα δίδραχμα.
6And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachmas, and of a female, three didrachmas of silver.Ἀπὸ δὲ μηνιαίου ἕως πενταετοῦς, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος πέντε δίδραχμα· τῆς δὲ θηλείας, τρία δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου.
7And if from sixty year old and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachmas of silver, and if a female, ten didrachmas.Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ ἑξήκοντα ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπάνω, ἐὰν μὲν ἄρσεν ᾖ, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ αὐτοῦ πεντεκαίδεκα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου· ἐὰν δὲ θήλεια, δέκα δίδραχμα.
8And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.Ἐὰν δὲ ταπεινὸς ᾖ τῇ τιμῇ, στήσεται ἐναντίον τοῦ ἱερέως· καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· καθάπερ ἰσχύει ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ εὐξαμένου, τιμήσεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.
9And if it be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy.Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν προσφερομένων ἀπʼ αὐτῶν δῶρον τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὃς ἂν δῷ ἀπὸ τούτων τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἔσται ἅγιον.
10He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.Οὐκ ἀλλάξει αὐτὸ καλὸν πονηρῷ, οὐδὲ πονηρὸν καλῷ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀλλάσσων ἀλλάξῃ αὐτὸ κτῆνος κτήνει, ἔσται αὐτὸ καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα ἅγια.
11And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.Ἐὰν δὲ πᾶν κτῆνος ἀκάθαρτον, ἀφʼ ὧν οὐ προσφέρεται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν δῶρον τῷ Κυρίῳ, στήσει τὸ κτῆνος ἔναντι τοῦ ἱερέως,
12And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀναμέσον καλοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον πονηροῦ· καὶ καθότι ἂν τιμήσηται αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεὺς, οὕτω στήσεται.
13And if the worshipper will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρούμενος λυτρώσηται αὐτὸ, προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον πρὸς τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ.
14And whatever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.Καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἂν ἁγιάσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἁγίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀναμέσον καλῆς καὶ ἀναμέσον πονηρᾶς· ὡς ἂν τιμήσηται αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεὺς, οὕτω σταθήσεται.
15And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall be his.Ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ἁγιάσας αὐτὴν λυτρῶται τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, προσθήσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸ τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον τοῦ ἀργυρίου τῆς τιμῆς, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
16And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachmas of silver for a homer of barley.Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ ἁγιάσῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ κατὰ τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ, κόρου κριθῶν πεντήκοντα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου.
17And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς ἀφέσεως ἁγιάσῃ τὸν ἀγρὸν αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ στήσεται.
18And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the next year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.Ἐὰν δὲ ἔσχατον μετὰ τὴν ἄφεσιν ἁγιάσῃ τὸν ἀγρὸν αὐτοῦ, προσλογιεῖται αὐτῷ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τὰ ἔτη τὰ ἐπίλοιπα, ἕως εἰς τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀνθυφαιρεθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς συντιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
19And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his.Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν ὁ ἁγιάσας αὐτὸν, προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον τοῦ ἀργυρίου πρὸς τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
20And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν, καὶ ἀποδῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν ἀνθρώπῳ ἑτέρῳ, οὐκέτι μὴ λυτρώσηται αὐτόν.
21But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.Ἀλλʼ ἔσται ὁ ἀγρὸς ἐξεληλυθυίας τῆς ἀφέσεως ἅγιος τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὥσπερ ἡ γῆ ἡ ἀφωρισμένη τῷ ἱερεῖ ἔσται κατάσχεσις αὐτοῦ.
22And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὗ κέκτηται, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ, ἁγιάσῃ τῷ Κυρίῳ,
23the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day as holy to the Lord.λογιεῖται πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ τέλος τῆς τιμῆς ἐκ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀποδώσει τὴν τιμὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἁγίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ·
24And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῆς ἀφέσεως ἀποδοθήσεται ὁ ἀγρὸς τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ παρʼ οὗ κέκτηται αὐτὸν, οὗ ἦν ἡ κατάσχεσις τῆς γῆς.
25And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.Καὶ πᾶσα τιμὴ ἔσται σταθμίοις ἁγίοις· εἴκοσι ὀβολοὶ ἔσται τὸ δίδραχμον.
26And every firstborn which shall be produced among your cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.Καὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον ὃ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσί σου, ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐ καθαγιάσει αὐτὸ οὐδείς· ἐάν τε μόσχον, ἐάν τε πρόβατον, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐστίν.
27But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.Ἐὰν δὲ τῶν τετραπόδων τῶν ἀκαθάρτων ἀλλάξῃ κατὰ τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον πρὸς αὐτὸ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρῶται, πραθήσεται κατὰ τὸ τίμημα αὐτοῦ.
28And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.Πᾶν δὲ ἀνάθεμα, ὃ ἂν ἀναθῇ ἄνθρωπος τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀπὸ πάντων, ὅσα αὐτῷ ἐστιν, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγροῦ κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀποδώσεται οὐδὲ λυτρώσεται· πᾶν ἀνάθεμα ἅγιον ἁγίων ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ.
29And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.Καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἀνατεθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὐ λυτρωθήσεται, ἀλλὰ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται.
30Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.Πᾶσα δεκάτη τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς γῆς, καὶ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ξυλίνου, τῷ. Κυρίῳ ἐστίν, ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
31And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρῶται λύτρῳ ἄνθρωπος τὴν δεκάτην αὐτοῦ, τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον προσθήσει πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
32And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.Καὶ πᾶσα δεκάτη βοῶν, καὶ προβάτων, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἂν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ἀριθμῷ ὑπὸ τὴν ῥάβδον, τὸ δέκατον ἔσται ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
33You shall not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if you should at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.Οὐκ ἀλλάξεις καλὸν πονηρῷ, οὐδὲ πονηρὸν καλῷ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀλλάσσων ἀλλάξῃς αὐτό, καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἅγιον, οὐ λυτρωθήσεται.
34These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.Αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἐντολαὶ ἃς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σινᾷ.
