But you say,‘ If someone tells his father or mother,“ Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,”

你们倒说：‘无论何人对父母说：我所当奉给你的已经作了供献，

你们倒说：‘无论谁对父母说：我所当供奉你的已经作了奉献，

你们倒说：‘无论谁对父母说：我所当供奉你的已经作了奉献，

你们却说，‘人如果把供养父母的钱奉献给上帝，

你们却说：‘人若对父母说：“我应该给你们的，已经作了献给神的礼物”，

你们却说‘如果有人对父亲或母亲说：我本该给你的已经做了圣殿奉献，

你們倒說：『無論何人對父母說：我所當奉給你的已經作了供獻，

你們倒說：『無論誰對父母說：我所當供奉你的已經作了奉獻，

你們卻說：‘人若對父母說：“我應該給你們的，已經作了獻給神的禮物”，

你們倒說：『無論何人對父親或母親說：「你可由我得益之物、已經用做獻神禮物了」；

你們卻說『如果有人對父親或母親說：我本該給你的已經做了聖殿奉獻，

爾則曰、若人謂父母云、我所當奉於爾者、已獻於上帝矣、

惟爾則曰、若人對父母云、我所當奉親者、已獻為禮物、

惟爾曰、若人對父母云、爾所當得於我者、已獻為禮物、

汝則曰：「人第對父母云我所當奉親者、已獻為禮物、

But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is‘ devoted to God,’

But suppose people have something that might be used to help their parents. You allow them to say it is instead‘ a gift set apart for God.’

But you say,‘ If anyone tells his father or his mother,“ What you would have gained from me is given to God,”

But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents,‘ Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’

But you say,‘ Whoever tells his father or mother,“ Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,”

But you say,‘ Whoever says to his father or mother,“ Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,”

But you say,‘ Whoever says to his father or mother,“ Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”—

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God;

But you say,‘ Whoever tells his father or mother,“ Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple”—

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to[ his] father or[ his] mother,[ It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

But you say,‘ Whoever may tell his father or his mother,“ Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”

But Peter and John replied,“ Whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God, you decide,

“ Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘ Whoever swears by the temple is bound by nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by the oath.’Blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?And,‘ Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’

But Peter and the apostles replied,“ We must obey God rather than people.

For Moses said,‘ Honor your father and your mother,’ and,‘ Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother,‘ Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’( that is, a gift for God),then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”

Then the LORD took me from tending flocks and gave me this commission,‘ Go! Prophesy to my people Israel!’So now listen to the LORD’s message! You say,‘ Don’t prophesy against Israel! Don’t preach against the family of Isaac!’“ Therefore this is what the LORD says:‘ Your wife will become a prostitute in the streets and your sons and daughters will die violently. Your land will be given to others and you will die in a foreign land. Israel will certainly be carried into exile away from its land.’”

It is a snare for a person to rashly cry,“ Holy!” and only afterward to consider what he has vowed.

“‘ If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented to the LORD, anything which he gives to the LORD from this kind of animal will be holy.He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy.If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the LORD, then he must stand the animal before the priest,and the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. According to the assessed conversion value of the priest, thus it will be.If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value.“‘ If a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. Just as the priest establishes its conversion value, thus it will stand.If the one who consecrates it redeems his house, he must add to it one fifth of its conversion value in silver, and it will belong to him.“‘ If a man consecrates to the LORD some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver.If he consecrates his field in the jubilee year, the conversion value will stand,but if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value.If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price and it will belong to him.If he does not redeem the field, but sells the field to someone else, he may never redeem it.When it reverts in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the LORD like a permanently dedicated field; it will become the priest’s property.“‘ If he consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not part of his own landed property,the priest will calculate for him the amount of its conversion value until the jubilee year, and he must pay the conversion value on that jubilee day as something that is holy to the LORD.In the jubilee year the field will return to the one from whom he bought it, the one to whom it belongs as landed property.Every conversion value must be calculated by the standard of the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs to the shekel.“‘ Surely no man may consecrate a firstborn that already belongs to the LORD as a firstborn among the animals; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it belongs to the LORD.If, however, it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it according to its conversion value and must add one fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed it must be sold according to its conversion value.“‘ Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the LORD from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the LORD.Any human being who is permanently dedicated must not be ransomed; such a person must be put to death.“‘ Any tithe of the land, from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.If a man redeems part of his tithe, however, he must add one fifth to it.All the tithe of herd or flock, everything which passes under the rod, the tenth one will be holy to the LORD.The owner must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, both the original animal and its substitute will be holy. It must not be redeemed.’”These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses to tell the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
