27:8
If [a person] is too poor to pay the endowment, he shall present himself before the priest, so that the priest can determine the endowment valuation. The priest shall then make this determination on the basis of how much the person making the vow can afford.

Ve’im-mach hu me’erkecha vehe’emido lifney hakohen vehe’erich oto hakohen al-pi asher tasig yad hanoder ya’arichenu hakohen.

27:9
If [the endowment] is an animal that can be offered as a sacrifice to God, then anything donated to God [automatically] becomes consecrated.

Ve’im-behemah asher yakrivu mimenah korban l’Adonay kol asher yiten mimenu l’Adonay yihyeh-kodesh.

7:10
One may neither exchange it nor offer a substitute for it, whether it be a better [animal] for a worse one, or a worse [animal] for a better one. If he replaces one animal with another, both [the original animal] and its replacement shall be consecrated.

Lo yachalifenu velo-yamir oto tov bera o-ra betov ve’im-hamer yamir behemah bivehemah vehayah-hu utmurato yihyeh-kodesh.

27:11
If it involves any unfit animal that cannot be offered as a sacrifice to God, [the owner] shall present the animal to the priest.

Ve’im kol-behemah tme’ah asher lo-yakrivu mimenah korban l’Adonay vehe’emid et-habehemah lifney hakohen.

27:12
The priest shall set the endowment value according to [the animal’s] good and bad qualities, and its endowment valuation shall be that which is determined by the priest.

Vehe’erich hakohen otah beyn tov uveyn ra ke’erkecha hakohen ken yihyeh.

27:13
If [the owner] wishes to redeem it, he must add 20% to its endowment value.

Ve’im-ga’ol yig’alenah veyasaf chamishito al-erkecha.

27:14
If a person consecrates his house as something sacred to God, the priest shall set its endowment value according to its good and bad points. The endowment value shall then remain that which is determined by the priest.

Ve’ish ki-yakdish et-beyto kodesh l’Adonay vehe’ericho hakohen beyn tov uveyn ra ka’asher ya’arich oto hakohen ken yakum.

27:15
If the one who consecrates it wishes to redeem his house, he must add an additional 20% to its endowment value, and it then reverts to him.

Ve’im-hamakdish yig’al et-beyto veyasaf chamishit kesef-erkecha alav vehayah lo.
