Leviticus 25
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses fin eol Sinai ac sap elan
The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel. “Pacl se kowos utyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El ac sot nu suwos, kowos fah akfulatye LEUM GOD ke kowos tia yoki facl sac ke yac akitkosr nukewa.
“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 the LORD.
3 Kowos fah yukwi ima lowos, aknasnasye lah ke grape sunowos, ac kosrani fahko kac ke yac onkosr.
You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in its fruits;
4 Tusruktu yac se akitkosr ac fah yac in na mongla se nu ke facl sac, sie yac su kisayang nu sin LEUM GOD. Nimet kowos yukwi ima lowos ku aknasnasye lah in grape sunowos an.
but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Kowos fah tia pacna kosrani wheat ma sifacna kapak, ac tia sifani fahko ke grape sunowos ma kowos tia aknasnasye ah. Yac in na mongla se lun acn nukewa in facl sac pa inge.
What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and you shall not gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
6 Acn uh finne tia imaiyuk ke pulan yac sacn, ac srakna ku in asot mwe mongo nowos ac nun mwet foko lowos, ac mwet kowos moli in orekma lowos, ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos,
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 oayapa kosro muna nutuwos, ac kosro lemnak su muta inimae. Ma nukewa ma kap ke facl sac fah ku in mongo.
For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
8 “Oakla yac itkosr pacl itkosr, pa toeni orala yac angngaul eu.
“‘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 Na in len se aksingoul ke malem se akitkosr, su Len in Eela Ma Koluk, kowos supwala sie mwet in ukya sie mwe ukuk ke el fahsr sasla fin acn sac nufon.
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 In ouiya se inge kowos fah srela yac se aklumngaul, ac sulkakin mu ac sie pacl in sukosok nu sin mwet nukewa su muta in fahl sac. Ke yac se inge acn nukewa su tuh kukakinyukla fah folokyang nu sin mwet su la acn inge meet, ku nu sin fwil natul, ac kutena mwet su tuh kukakinyukla in mwet kohs, fah folokla nu yurin sou lal.
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 Kowos fah tia yukwi ima lowos, ku telani fahko ma sifacna kapak, ku sifani fahko ke ima in grape lowos ma tia kifwiyukla.
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 Yac nufon sac ac fah mutal nu suwos; kowos fah mongo na ke ma sifacna kapak in ima lowos.
For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
13 “Ke yac se inge acn nukewa ma kukakinyukla fah folokyang nu sin mwet la meet ah.
“‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14 Ke ma inge, kowos fin kukakin acn lowos nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, ku moul acn selos, nik kowos orek inkanek kutasrik.
“‘If you sell anything to your neighbour, or buy from your neighbour, you shall not wrong one another.
15 Molin acn sacn ac fah oakwuk fal nu ke pisen yac ma acn sacn ac ku in oswe fahko meet liki Yac in Folokyang se tok ah.
According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbour. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
16 Fin ac yac pus, molo an enenu in yohk, ac fin yac na pu, na molo an enenu in srik, mweyen ma ac kukakinyukla uh ac wiwi pisa ku lupan fahko ma ac tuku ke acn sac.
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 Nimet orek kutasrik nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD lowos.
You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
18 “Akos ma sap ac ma oakwuk nukewa lun LEUM GOD, tuh kowos fah ku in muta in misla fin facl se inge.
“‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 Facl se inge ac fah isus fahko, ac kowos fah mutana in mut ac wangin fosrnga lowos.
The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 “Tusruktu, sahp ac oasr mwet fah siyuk lah mea ac mongo ke yac se akitkosr, ke wangin ma ac yoki ac wangin fahko sifeyukyak.
If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;”
21 LEUM GOD El ac fah akinsewowoye acn uh ke yac se akonkosr, tuh ima lowos fah oswe mwe mongo ma ac fal nu ke yac tolu.
then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit for the three years.
22 Ke kowos yukwi ima lowos ke yac se akoalkosr, kowos ac srakna kang mwe mongo ma lula ke ma kowos sifani ke yac se akonkosr ah, su ac fal nu suwos in mongo kac nwe ke kowos kosrani ma kowos yukwi ke yac sacn.
You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits from the old store until the ninth year. Until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
23 “Acn lowos fah tiana kukakinyukla in tuh lun sie mwet nwe tok, mweyen tia ma lowos — ma lun God, ac kowos oana mwetsac su ma filfilyang in orekmakin acn uh.
“‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
24 “Ke pacl se kukakinyukla sie acn uh, enenu in akilenyuk lah oasr suwohs lun mwet se ma la acn sac meet in sifilpa molela.
In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 Fin sie mwet Israel sukasrupla tuh pwanang elan kukakunla acn lal uh, ac enenu in mwet se ma fototo oemeet nu sel in sou lal pa in molela uh.
“‘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 Mwet se ma wangin sou lal in sifil moli acn sac, sahp ac tok oasri ma lal ac el ku in sifacna sifilpa molela.
If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,
27 Fin ouinge, el enenu in moli nu sin mwet se ma tuh molela acn sac ke sie lupa ma ac fal nu ke lusen pacl lula nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, mweyen pa inge pacl se acn sac ac nuna folokyang nu sel.
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 Tusruktu fin tia fal lupan mani yorol in sifil molela acn sac, na ac oanna ye karinginyuk lun mwet se ma molela sel ah nwe ke sun Yac in Folokyang se tok uh. Ke pacl sacn ac fah folokyang nu sin mwet se la acn sac meet ah.
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. In the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
29 “Sie mwet fin kukakin lohm sel in sie siti ma kalkalak, oasr suwohs lal in sifilpa molela ke yac fon se tukun len se kukala uh.
“‘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 Tusruktu el fin tia sifilpa molela ke yac sac, ac wanginla suwohs lal in sifil moli, na lohm sac ac ma lac sin mwet se ma molela uh, ku fwil natul nwe tok. Na ac fah tia folokyang nu sin mwet se meet ah ke Yac in Folokyang sac.
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 Tusruktu lohm ma oan ke inkul ma tia kalkalak uh ac fah orek oana ima uh — mwet se ma la na pwaye meet ah, oasr suwohs lal in sifil molela, ac enenu in folokyang nu sel ke Yac in Folokyang.
But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be accounted for with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Tusruktu, oasr suwohs lun mwet Levi in sifil molela lohm selos ke siti ma srisrngiyuki elos in muta we, ke kutena pacl.
“‘Nevertheless, in the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem the houses in the cities of their possession at any time.
33 Fin sie lohm in siti inge tuh kukakinyukla sin sie mwet Levi ac el tia sifil molela, na ac enenu in folokyang nu sel ke Yac in Folokyang sac, mweyen lohm sin mwet Levi ma oan in siti selos uh ac ma na selos nwe tok.
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 amongst the children of Israel.
34 Tusruktu acn in ima ma oan raunla siti lun mwet Levi, ac fah tiana kukakinyuk. Acn inge ma na selos nwe tok.
But the field of the pasture lands of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
35 “Sie mwet Israel wiom su muta apkuran nu yurum fin sukasrupla ac tia ku in konauk inkanek in kasru nu sel, kom fah sang kasru nu sel oana ke kom oru nu sin mwet su kom moli in orekma lom, tuh el fah ku in mutana apkuran nu yurum.
“‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself amongst you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.
36 Nik kom eis kutena ma laesla sel, a akos God, ac lela mwet Israel wiom in mutana apkuran nu yurum.
Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live amongst you.
37 Nimet kom oru elan moli ma ac laesla lupan mani ma kom kasrel kac, ac nimet orek kapak ke mwe mongo ma kom kukakin nu sel.
You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
38 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, El su uskowosme liki facl Egypt in tuh sot facl Canaan lowos, ac in tuh God lowos.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 “Sie sin mwet Israel wiom su muta apkuran nu yurum fin sukasrupla ac sifacna kukakunulot nu sum oana sie mwet foko, kom fah tia sang elan oru orekma lun sie mwet kohs.
“‘If your brother has grown poor amongst you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
40 El fah muta yurum oana sie mwet kom moli nu se, ac kulansap nu sum nwe ke sun Yac in Folokyang se tok uh.
As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 In pacl sac, el ac tulik natul fah som liki kom, ac folokla nu yurin sou lal ac nu ke acn sin mwet matu lal su somla.
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 Mwet Israel elos mwet kohs nu sin LEUM GOD, ac El usalosme liki facl Egypt. Elos fah tia kukakinyuk nu ke mwet kohs.
For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43 Nimet kom oru upa nu selos, a kom in akos God lom.
You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
44 Kom fin enenu mwet foko, kom ku in moli sin mutanfahl ma raunikomla.
“‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
45 Kom ku pac in moli tulik nutin mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos. Tulik inge ma isusla in facl suwos elos ku in ma lowosla,
Moreover, of the children of the aliens who live amongst 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 ac kom ku in eisalosyang in mwe usru nu sin tulik mukul nutum, su elos ac kulansupu ke lusen moul lalos nufon. A kom fah tiana oru in upa nu sin kutena mwet Israel wiom.
You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession. Of them you may take your slaves forever, but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
47 “Fin fahsr nwe sie mwetsac su muta yurum el ekla sie mwet kasrup, ac sie mwet Israel wiom el sukasrupla ac sifacna kukakunulang tuh elan mwet foko nu sin mwetsac sac, ku nu sin sou lun mwetsac sac,
“‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living amongst you, or to a member of the stranger’s family,
48 srakna oasr suwohs lun mwet Israel sac in sifilpa moliyukla el tukun kukala el uh. Sie sin tamulel lal,
after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
49 ku mukul wien papa ku nina kial, ku mwet nutin tamulel ku tamtael lun papa ku nina kial, ku sie pacna su sou fototo lal, ku in sifil molella. Ku el sifacna, fin oasri mani lal ma ac fal in molella, el ku in sifacna molella elan sukosokla.
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 El enenu in aetuila nu sin mwet se ma molella ah, ac eltal fah oakla pisen yac ma el kukakunulla sifacna kac me nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, ac oaki molin sukosokla lal fal nu ke lupan moul ma orekmakinyuk nu sin mwet ma orekma ac moul nu se.
He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; he shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.
51 “Fin srakna pus yac lula uh, molin sukosokla lal uh ac fah oekyuk fal nu ke pisen yac lula, na pisa se inge ac fah folokinyuk nu sin mwet se ma molella ah.
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 A fin yac na pu pa lula nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, el fah akfalye molin sukosokla lal uh fal nu ke molin yac lula inge,
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 oana ke el fin orekma ac moul nu sel ke oakwuk lun molin yac. Leum se ma el orekma nu se uh fah tia oru in upala nu sel.
As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him. He shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
54 El fin tiana aksukosokyeyukla ke kutena sin ouiya inge, na el, ac tulik natul, fah aksukosokyeyukla ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh.
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 Sie mwet Israel tia ku in orekma in mwet kohs nwe tok, mweyen mwet Israel elos mwet kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD. El usalosme liki facl Egypt. El pa LEUM GOD lalos.”
For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
