Levitik 25
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz sou mòn Sinayi a, li di l' konsa:
Jehovah said to Moses in Mount Sinai,
2 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo pou mwen: Lè n'a antre nan peyi m'ap ban nou an, n'a bay tè a yon repo pou Seyè a.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to Jehovah.
3 Pandan sizan n'a plante jaden nou, n'a taye pye rezen nou yo, epi n'a ranmase rekòt pandan sizan.
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
4 Men, setyèm lanne a n'a kite tè a poze nèt. Se va yon gwo lanne repo pou tè a. Se va yon lanne n'a kite tè a pran repo pou Seyè a. Nou p'ap simen anyen nan jaden nou, ni nou p'ap taye pye rezen nou yo.
but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Jehovah. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Piga nou ranmase grenn ki pouse konsa nan jaden nou pou nou vann. Ni piga nou keyi rezen ki donnen nan pye rezen nou pa t' taye pou nou vann. Se va yon lanne repo nèt pou te a.
What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
6 Pandan tout lanne a tè a va rete san nou pa travay li. Men, sa l'a bay la va sèvi manje pou nou ak pou tout moun k'ap viv lakay nou, pou moun lòt nasyon ki fè ladesant lakay nou.
The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
7 Bèt domestik nou yo ak bèt bwa ki nan peyi a va manje nan sa tè a bay la tou.
For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
8 N'a konte sèt lanne Repo, ki vle di sèt fwa sèt lanne, sa va ban nou karantnèf lanne.
"'You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
9 Sou dizyèm jou setyèm mwa a ki jou pou n' mande Bondye gras la, n'a fè kònen twonpèt nan tout peyi a.
Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.
10 N'a mete senkantyèm lanne sa a apa pou Bondye, epi n'a bay lòd pou yo bay tout moun ki esklav nan peyi a libète yo pou tout lanne a. Se va yon lanne rejwisans pou tout moun. Lanne sa a, tou sa yo te vann anvan ap tounen pou ansyen mèt yo ankò osinon pou eritye yo. Tout moun ki te esklav ap tounen lib lakay yo.
You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
11 Senkantyèm lanne sa a va yon lanne rejwisans pou tout moun: Nou p'ap simen anyen nan jaden nou yo, ni nou p'ap ranmase grenn ki pouse konsa nan jaden nou yo pou nou vann, ni nou p'ap keyi rezen ki donnen nan pye rezen nou pa t' taye pou nou vann.
That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.
12 Paske se va yon lanne rejwisans, se va yon lanne n'a mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Men n'a manje tou sa jaden nou pa t' plante yo bay.
For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
13 Nan lanne rejwisans sa a, tout tè ki te vann ap tounen pou ansyen mèt yo ankò.
"'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14 Konsa, si n'ap vann yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yon tè osinon si n'ap achte tè nan men l', piga nou fè koutay yonn sou do lòt.
"'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
15 Lè n'ap achte yon tè osinon lè w'ap vann yon tè, se pou nou kalkile pri a sou kantite lanne tè a ka travay anvan lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an rive.
According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
16 Plis gen lanne anvan lanne rejwisans lan rive, se plis pri a va pi wo. Mwens gen lanne, se plis pri a va pi ba, paske se kantite lanne rekòt tè a ka bay la n'ap vann osinon n'ap achte.
According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.
17 Pa fè lajan sou do moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou. Men, se pou nou gen krentif pou Bondye nou, paske se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Jehovah your God.
18 Se pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman m' yo. Se pou nou swiv yo, se konsa n'a kapab viv nan peyi a san nou pa bezwen pè anyen.
"'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 Tè a va bay rekòt li, n'a manje kont nou, epi n'a viv nan peyi a ak kè poze.
The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
20 Men, gen moun ki va mande kisa y'a manje setyèm lanne a si yo pa plante, si yo pa ranmase rekòt.
If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Look, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
21 Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a voye benediksyon m' sou tè a pandan sizyèm lanne a pou l' ka donnen rekòt kantite pou twazan.
then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
22 Konsa, lè wityèm lanne a va rive pou nou plante jaden nou yo, n'a jwenn manje toujou nan ansyen rekòt sizyèm lanne a. N'a gen kont pou nou manje jouk nevyèm lanne a rivè, lè n'a gen pou n' ranmase rekòt wityèm lanne sa a.
You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
23 Yon tè pa fèt pou vann pou tout tan, paske tè a pa pou nou, se pou mwen li ye. Nou menm, nou tankou moun lòt peyi ki rete lakay mwen: mwen ban nou dwa sèvi sou tè a.
"'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
24 Lè n'ap achte yon tè nan peyi nou an, se pou nou rekonèt dwa ansyen mèt tè a genyen pou l' reachte tè a ankò.
In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 Lè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou vin nan nesesite, epi li blije vann pòsyon tè ki pou li a, fanmi ki pi pre l' la va reachte tè li te vann lan, paske se li ki gen dwa fè sa.
"'If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.
26 Men, si yon nonm pa gen fanmi pre pou reachte tè a, epi apre kèk tan zafè l' vin bon ankò, l'a reachte tè a lè l'a gen kont lajan pou sa.
If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;
27 L'a kalkile depi ki tan li te vann tè a, epi l'a renmèt moun ki te achte tè a nan men l' lan lajan ki koresponn ak kantite lanne ki rete anvan lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an, epi l'a reprann tè li.
then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.
28 Men, si li pa gen kont kòb pou reachte tè a, tè a va rete nan men moun ki te achte l' la jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, tè a va tounen nan men ansyen mèt li ankò.
But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
29 Si yon nonm vann yon kay ki nan yon bouk ki gen ranpa, li gen yon lanne delè, depi dat li te vann kay la, pou l' reachte l' ankò. Pase yon lanne, li pèdi dwa a.
"'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
30 Si li kite tout lanne a pase san li pa reachte kay la, kay la ap rete pou moun ki te achte l' la ak pou pitit pitit li yo. Yo p'ap renmèt li kay la lè lanne rejwisans la rive.
If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
31 Men, kay ki nan bouk kote ki pa gen ranpa, y'ap konsidere yo menm jan ak yon jaden. Ansyen mèt la gen dwa reachte l' ankò. Men, tout jan se pou yo renmèt li kay la, lè lanne rejwisans lan rive.
But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; they may be redeemed; and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Moun Levi yo menm ap gen lavil pa yo apa. Yon moun Levi ap toujou gen dwa reachte kay ki te pou li nenpòt kilè.
"'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem forever.
33 Si yon moun Levi rive vann yon kay ki nan lavil moun Levi yo, epi li pa reachte l', se pou yo renmèt li kay la lè lanne rejwisans lan rive, paske lè yon moun Levi gen yon kay nan mitan pèp la, kay la pou li nèt.
The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 Konsa tou, pou jaden ki tout arebò lavil moun Levi yo, yo pa gen dwa vann li, paske se pou yo li ye pou tout tan.
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 Si yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv toupre lakay nou vin nan nesesite, epi li tonbe nan malsite, se pou nou lonje men ba li tankou nou ta dwe fè l' pou yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap travay lakay nou osinon ki vin fè ladesant lakay nou. Konsa, l'a toujou ka viv bò kote nou.
"'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't support him among you; then you shall uphold him. As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.
36 Pa fè l' peye ankenn enterè, pa ba l' ponya. Gen krentif pou Bondye. Bay moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou an yon chans pou l' viv tou.
Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you.
37 Piga nou mande l' enterè sou lajan nou prete l'. Piga nou ba l' ponya pou manje nou vann li.
You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
38 Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou m' te ka ban nou peyi Kanaran an epitou pou m' te ka Bondye nou.
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 Si yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv toupre lakay nou vin nan nesesite, epi li vann tèt li ban nou pou li sèvi nou esklav, piga nou fè l' fè travay yon domestik.
"'If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
40 L'ap rete lakay nou tankou moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap travay pou lajan lakay nou. L'a sèvi nou jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an.
As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee:
41 Lè sa a, li menm ak tout pitit li yo, y'a kite lakay nou, y'a tounen al jwenn fanmi yo, epi y'a renmèt yo tè zansèt yo te kite pou yo a.
then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
42 Paske se esklav mwen nou ye, se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo pa gen dwa vann nou pou fè nou sèvi esklav lòt moun.
For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43 Piga nou aji mal ak moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo. Se pou nou gen krentif pou Bondye nou an.
You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
44 Lè n'a bezwen gason osinon fi pou sèvi esklav lakay nou, nou ka achte yo nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv lòt bò fwontyè peyi nou an.
"'As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
45 Nou ka achte pitit moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou tou. Konsa tou, lè yo rete lakay nou, si yo fè pitit sou tè ki pou nou, pitit yo va pou nou tou.
Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
46 N'a kite yo tankou byen pou pitit nou yo. Y'a sèvi yo jouk yo mouri. Nou pa dwe maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou. Men, se pou nou aji avèk yo tankou frè ak frè.
You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
47 Sipoze yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou nan peyi a vin gen anpil mwayen epi yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv lakay nou, osinon pre kay moun lòt nasyon an, vin nan nesesite epi l al vann tèt li bay moun lòt nasyon an, osinon bay yonn nan fanmi moun lòt nasyon an pou li sèvi l' esklav.
"'If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger's family;
48 Apre li vann tèt li a, l'a toujou gen avantaj moun ka reachte l' pou ba li libète l'. Se bagay yonn nan frè li yo,
after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
49 osinon tonton l', osinon pitit gason tonton l' yo, osinon yonn nan fanmi pre li yo ka fè pou li. Si li menm li vin gen mwayen, li ka reachte tèt li tou.
or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.
50 Dakò ak moun ki te achte l' la, se pou l' konte konbe lanne ki gen depi lanne li te vann tèt li bay moun lan jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, l'a kalkile lajan pou l' bay la sou kantite lanne l'a jwenn lan, epi sou pri yo peye lè konsa pou yon moun k'ap travay pou lajan lakay moun.
He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.
51 Lè gen anpil lanne ki rete, l'a kalkile sou yo pou l' konnen valè lajan pou l' renmèt pou l' ka reachte tèt li.
If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 Men, si pa gen lanne ki rete anvan lanne rejwisans lan, y'a kalkile ansanm, epi l'a renmèt li lajan dapre kantite lanne ki rete a pou l' ka reachte tèt li.
If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.
53 Paske l'ap travay ak moun lan tankou domestik k'ap travay pou lajan pa an, ou pa fèt pou kite moun lan maltrete li.
As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
54 Si li pa reachte tèt li konsa, lè lanne rejwisans lan rive, ni li menm, ni pitit gason l' yo va lib ankò. Epi y'a kite kay moun lan.
If he isn't redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him.
55 Se pou nou swiv regleman sa yo, paske se esklav pa m' moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye. Yo se esklav mwen te fè soti kite peyi Lejip. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
