Thempu Dan 25

1 Pakaiyin Sinai molsang chunga konin, Mose henga hiti hin aseipeh in,

Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

2 Israel chate jouse jah a seiyin, na bonchauva keiman kapehna gam nahung lhun teng uleh agam pumpia jong Pakaiya dia choldam kum anei tei ding ahi.

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

3 Kumgup sunga na loujaova muchi nathe ding, hitia chu kumgup sunga na lengpi thei nalho ngimsela, chuteng aga nakilo ding ahi.

For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.

4 Kum sagi lhinkum levang agamsung pumpin choldam kum anit ding, hitia chu lou jaova muche jeng jong natu thei lou ding, na lengpithei lei jong nalho ngimtah lou ding ahi.

But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.

5 Chule changval hung kehdoh ho jong na-at lou ding, lengpi lei lholou laiya hung kehdoh aga ho jong nadon da jeng ding, ajeh chu na boncha diuva choldamna kum ahi.

You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.

6 Gamsung pumpia dia choldamna kum ahitan, ami chan cheh ading in chule nangma nahin nasoh pasal ham nasoh numei hijon gleh; natha lah mihem hihen lang gamchom ahung kholjin hijong leh, na bonchauva dia anneh ding nahin ngaito peh diu ahi, ati.

Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,

7 Nangma gancha ho ahin, na gam'a um gamsa ho jaona hiche gamga soh hochu aneh diu ahi.

and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.

8 Kum khat sunga hapta sagi nasim dohji ding, hatpa sagi veijen na simdoh ding hitia chu agoma kumsom li leh kumko aphah ding ahi.

And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.

9 Hiche jou tengleh nangman lha sagi lhinna hiche lhasung mama achu, nisom lhin nikho chule sumkon namut ging ding, hichea chu kithoidamna nikho nagam pumpiuva thong jejua sum kon na lhangsap uva nathejal soh diu ahi.

Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.

10 Kum nga don ahung lhin teng hiche kum chu kum theng tah ahi, hichu na phonjal diu, gamsung pumpia khosa jouse henga chamlhat kum ahitia naphon jalsoh diu ahi; hiche kum hi naboncha diuva jubilee kum ahitan, mihem koi hileh athilkeo jouse akile lah kit ding, mihem jeng jong ama cheh in muna kile cheh ding nahiuve.

So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.

11 Hiche kum somnga lhinkum hi nangho jouse dia jubilee kum ahitan, hiche kuma hi muchi jeng jong natu louhel diu, achama hung keh muche chang jeng jong na-at da jeng diu, lengpilei nalho louna beh a hung kehdoh aga ho jong nadon lou ding ahi, ati.

The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.

12 Ajeh chu Jubilee kum hi kum theng tah ahi, na boncha diuva atheng ahi; hijeh chun agamsunga anagasa hobou naneh diu ahi.

For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.

13 Hitia chu Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng, na boncha uva koi hileh agoulo cheh chu na kile pehto diu ahi.

In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.

14 Na kinaipi henga na thil joh ham, ahilouleh nathil chohsa ham jeng jong chu, hitia thil joh chung chang leh akijoh doh thil chung changa na sopi khat toh adih louva na kibol to thei lou ding ahi.

If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.

15 Chule Jubilee aki chaiya pat naheng nakoma na thilchoh chule akum ijat sunga hi jongleh, agamga soh toh kitoh a nangma koma thil ale joh ding ahi, ati.

You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.

16 Kum vang chu ahung tamkhah tah leh hiche thilman chun nasan sah ding, ahinlah akumjat chu alhom khah vangleh athilman jeng jong nalhom sah ding ahi, ajeh chu akum kisim jat dungjuiya aman jong gamga toh ajoh ahi, ati.

You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.

17 Na bonchauva khat leh khat nakisuh gimlou heldiu, hiche sangchun na Pathen chu ging jing in, ajeh chu keima na Pakai leh na Pathenu chu kahi, ati.

Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

18 Na bonchauva ka chonna dan jouse najuikim soh kei diu, hiche ho jouse chutoh natoh doh diu ahi, chuteng gamsung pumpia na bonchauva lungmong sela nakhosah diu ahi.

You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.

19 Agamsunga jong gamga pha hung um doh ding, hitia chu oiva sela naneh thei diu, agam sunga lungmong sela nachen thei diu ahi.

Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.

20 Na bonchauva na ngaito uva, kum sagi ahung lhin kum le ipi ham ineh diu, muchi la itu ta pouvin, chang jeng jong i-at lou diu hitam, tia na lung don khah uva ahi leh,

Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’

21 Keima tah in kumgup alhin kumle na boncha chung cheh uva phattheina kahin bung lhah peh diu, hichun kum thum sungsea naneh khop diuva anga ahin sodoh ding ahi.

But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.

22 Na bonchauvin kum get lhin kum apat muchi tujong leu chun lhosoh ga aumsa alui hobou naneh diu, kumko ahung lhina lhosohga athah kahsea lhosohga alui hobou naneh na ai diu ahi, ati.

While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.

23 Gam leiset kiti jong najoh doh thei lou diu, aneipa kei kahin, na bonchauva gamchom mi kholjina kanei nahiuve, ati.

The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.

24 Hijeh chun hoilai chan hi jongleh nachen na jouse uva, gam leiset lhatdohna man na bonchauva napeh cheh diu ahi.

Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

25 Na sopipa hamkhat hahsatna ato jeh a, agam leiset ajoh doh khah a ahileh, ama bana asopipa chu hunga athiljoh doh chu ahung lhat ding ahi.

If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26 Ahinlah ajoh dohpa ham khat chun, asopi alhat doh thei mi anei tah louva, amavang khonunga ahung haodoh thei dinga auma ahileh, aman ahin kilhat doh thei ding ahi.

Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,

27 Hitia chu agamjoh doh pan jong ajohdoh kuma pat phatah a sim ding, ajohna pa henga chu aman jat apeh dia lom cheng chutoh apeh dohtha ding, chujou tengleh ana chodoh pa chun agam leiset chu aboncha anung peh kit ding ahi.

he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.

28 Ahinlah amapa chun alhat dohna ding aneilouva ahileh, Jubilee kum ahung lhun kahsea ajoh dohnapa koma chu athil joh doh chu chuti um ding ahitan, Jubilee kum ahung lhun phat levang chun achopa chun ale lhatdoh ding, athil neipa chu lechan kit ding ahi.

But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.

29 Kula kigensa gam leiset behkah khat tou johdoh a umleh, hiche ajohdoh pa chun ajoh kum sunga chu akile lhat dohthei ding ahi. Ajeh chu kum khat sunga chu akile lhatdohna dia thu anei ahi.

If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.

30 Ahinlah a-in chu kum sunga chu alhatdoh jou louva ahileh, khopi sunga kul ki gensa ki johdoh a akichohpa chun akhang lhum keiya anei ding ahitan, Jubilee kum hung lhung jongleh akile lhatna ding thu anei lou ahitai.

If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.

31 Kul kigen lou khopi neocha sunga in ki johdoh ho vang chu, amin mai maiya ki sim peh ding, hiche ho chu lhatdohna tha um ding, hichu Jubilee kum ahung lhunteng lhatdoh ding ahi.

But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

32 Ahinlah Levite chenna khopi ho chu, ama ho ana chennasa akhopi sung uva in ho vang chu, Leviten itih phatlai hi jongleh akile lhatdoh thei diu ahi.

As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

33 Koi hileh Levi mite akona athuneina aman chah louva ahileh, amaho chenna khopi sunga ana kijoh dohsa in vangchu, Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng kile peh cheh cheh ding ahi, ajeh chu Israel chate chenna tin cheng chu Levi mite dia amaho goulo jeng ahibouve.

So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.

34 Levi mite dia kikoi gam beh jouse chu, khat a khat cha kijoh doh thei lou ding, hichu amaho dia tonsot goulo ding ahi.

But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

35 Na sopipa chu aneilel valtah a, nakom tah a akivah lelna aum doh a ahileh, nangman jong ima dang gel louva ama chu navah jeng ding, kholgam akona jin banga nakom a khosa jeng ding ahi.

Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.

36 Natoh le tham akon in apung akal jong tep peh dan lang, na Pathen maiven na sopipa chu nakoma khosa teijo hen, ati.

Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

37 Ama chu veikan dia sum bat napeh thei lou ding, nehle chah jeng jong apung dia nei peh lou ding ahi.

You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.

38 Ajeh chu kei matah hi na Pakaiyu leh na Pathenu kahin, nang ho Pathen kahiye tia Cannan gam kapeh diu ahitia, Egypt gam'a kona nahin puigal kaipau chu kahi, ati.

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 Hijeh chun nangma nai lama cheng na sopipa chu anei lelval tah a nangma koma ama le ama ahung ki peh lut tah leh, ama chu soh tobanga nagoi thei lou ding ahi.

If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.

40 Amapa chu na koma thalah mi banga khosa jeng ding, Jubilee kum ahung lhun kahsea na koma khosa ding ahi.

Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

41 Jubilee akichai teng nangma dalhaa pot tading achate jouse jaona che diu, a insung lama leche diu, apu apa khanga gou ho chu lechan ding ahiuve.

Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.

42 Ajeh chu abonchauva keima lhachaa pang ahiuvin; abonchauva Egypt gam'a kona kahin puigal kai ahiuve, hiche jeh chun amaho hi abonchauva sohjoh a najoh doh lou diu ahi.

Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

43 Nangman ama ho jouse munemna neitah a thu nasei lou ding, na Pathen ging khencha hinkho naman ding ahi.

You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.

44 Soh pasal ho in numei jong nanei jeng thei ahin, hiche soh ding achu nakom lah a namtin vaipi hochu na chohdoh a navul thei ahi.

Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.

45 Na bonchauva nalah uva chenglut kholgam mih hochu nachoh doh uva, soh a nalap thei diu ahi, nagam sung pumpiuva chengsa ho jong nachoh thei diu, hitobang mi nachoh doh hou chu na in cheh uva uma nalap le thei diu ahi.

You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.

46 Chule soh ho chu na chateu banga na goulo diuva na umsah uva, khonunga goulo ding jong nakoi peh diu, nangho Israelte lah a vang khat in khat chunga thuneina tah a vaihoma chatloh thei lou ding ah.

You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.

47 Na koma cheng kholjin mi chu ahung haodoh jeng tah a, na koma cheng na sopi pakhat machu achen dan ahah satval tah a ahileh; amajeng jong na koma cheng kholjin mipa koma ahung kipeh doh jeng tah a ahileh, chule asopi ho kom ham khat a akijoh doh jeng tah a ahileh,

If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,

48 Hitia akijoh nunga chu lelhat kit thei ahi, asopi ho lah akona khat penpen in amapa chu ale lhat kit ding,

he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:

49 Ahilouleh apaneo ham apaneo chapa ham khat in jong ale lhat thei ahi, amatoh kinai asopi aheng akom aphung chan khompi ainsung toh kinai pen khat injong alhat doh thei ding, hiche kala chu ama le ama ahung neijou tah levang ama chama kilhat ding ahi.

either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.

50 Ana ki chohdoh patoh akinopto banga, ama le ama akijoh doh niapat Jubilee kum chana asim ding, aman jat chu akum tam leh lhom dungjuiya alepeh ding ahi, anakichoh pan amapa alap sungsea chu thalah man toh kibang ding ahi.

He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.

51 Jubilee kum lhunna ding kum phabep avat nah laileh, aki lhatdohna dia ana ki chohdohna man chu alang khat alepeh ding ahi.

If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.

52 Ahinlah Jubilee lhinna ding chu kum lhomcha akivat tah a ahileh, aki choh apat akum jat chu avet toh lhon ding, hiche kuma pat chu atohman jat dungjuiya avaldoh chengse chu akile lhat dohna dia ale dip ding ahi.

If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.

53 Tohman akisim teng hichepa chu thagoi man bep bep a kisim peh ding, koi hileh hichepa tobang chunga engset nanei thei hoa kona navet tup ding ahi.

He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

54 Hiche ho jouse nunga hi, amapa hi aki lhatdoh joulou tah vangleh, chuti uma Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng lhat ding, ama ahin achate jouse jaona lhat tha ding ahitai.

Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.

55 Ajeh chu Israel chate hi abonchauva keima lhacha ngen ahiuvin, amaho hi ka lhacha ahin, Egypt gam'a kona keima tah in kahin puigal kai ahiuvin, keima hi na Pakaiyu le na Pathenu chu kahi jinge, ati.

For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
