< Leviticus 25 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, saying:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻo pehē,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, rest on the Sabbath of the Lord.
Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻe toki fai ai ʻe he fonua ʻae Sāpate kia Sihova.
3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall care for your vineyard, and you shall gather its fruits.
Ko e taʻu ʻe ono ke ke tō ai hoʻo ngoue, mo e taʻu ʻe ono ke ke ʻauhani hoʻo ngoue vaine, ʻo tānaki hono fua;
4 But in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of the land, a resting of the Lord. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not care for your vineyard.
Ka ko hono fitu ʻoe taʻu ko e Sāpate ia ke mālōlō ai ʻae fonua, ko e Sāpate ia kia Sihova: ʻoua naʻa ke tō ai hoʻo ngoue, pe ʻauhani hoʻo ngoue vaine.
5 What the soil shall spontaneously produce, you shall not harvest. And you shall not gather the grapes of the first-fruits as a crop. For it is a year of rest for the land.
Ko ia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo hoʻo taʻu ʻoua naʻa ke tuʻusi, pe toli ʻae ngaahi kālepi ʻoe vaine taʻeʻauhani he ko e taʻu mālōlō ia ki ho fonua.
6 But these shall be yours for food, for you and for your men and women servants, and for your hired hands, and for the newcomers who sojourn with you:
Pea ko e Sāpate ʻoe fonua ko e meʻakai ia maʻamoutolu; kiate koe, pea ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki hoʻo kaunanga, pea ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki unga ngāue, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo kiate koe,
7 all that grows on its own shall provide food for your beasts and cattle.
Pea ki hoʻo fanga manu lahi, pea ki hoʻo fanga manu ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ko e meʻakai ia kiate kinautolu.
8 You shall also number for yourselves seven weeks of years, that is, seven times seven, which together makes forty-nine years.
Pea ke lau kiate koe ʻae Sāpate ʻe fitu ʻoe ngaahi taʻu; ko e taʻu ʻe fitu lau ʻe fitu; pea ko hono lau ʻoe Sāpate ʻe fitu ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma hiva.
9 And you shall sound the trumpet in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, at the time of the atonement, throughout all your land.
Pea te ke toki fekau ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻoe siupeli ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe [ʻaho ]ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakalelei ke mou fakaongo atu ʻae meʻa lea ʻi homou fonua kotoa pē.
10 And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a remission for all the inhabitants of your land: for the same is the Jubilee. A man shall return to his possession, and each one shall go back to his original family,
Pea ke mou fakatapui hono nimangofulu ʻoe taʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻae huhuʻi ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ki hono kakai kotoa pē; ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e siupeli: pea ʻe toe hoko ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono ʻapi, pea ʻe toe haʻu taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono fale.
11 for it is the Jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap what grows in the field of its own accord, and you shall not gather the first-fruits of the crop,
Ko e nimangofulu taʻu ko ia ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e siupeli: ʻoua naʻa mou tūtuuʻi, pe tuʻusi ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe, pe tānaki mei he vaine ʻoku taʻeʻauhani.
12 due to the sanctification of the Jubilee. But you shall eat them as they present themselves.
He ko e siupeli ia; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate kimoutolu: te mou kai ʻa hono fua ʻo ia mei he ngoue pe.
13 In the year of the Jubilee, all shall return to their possessions.
Pea ʻi he taʻu ʻoe siupeli ni ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa,
14 When you will sell anything to your fellow citizen, or buy anything from him, do not cause your brother grief, but buy from him according to the number of years from the Jubilee,
Pea kapau ʻoku ke fakatau ha meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi, pe fakatau ha meʻa meiate ia, ʻoua naʻa mou fefakamamahiʻaki ʻakimoutolu:
15 and he shall sell to you according to the computation of the produce.
Ke ke fakatau mei ho kaungāʻapi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻi he hili ʻae siupeli, pea te ne fakatau kiate koe ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻo hono ngaahi fua:
16 The more years that will remain after the Jubilee, the more the price shall increase, and the less the time is numbered, so much less shall the purchase price be. For he will sell to you the time for the produce.
Te ke fakalahi ʻa hono totongi ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻoe taʻu, pea ke fakasiʻisiʻi hono totongi ʻo fakatatau ki hono siʻi ʻoe taʻu: he ʻoku ne fakatau ia kiate koe ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻo hono fua ʻo ia.
17 Do not be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For I am the Lord your God.
Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou fefakamamahiʻaki ʻakimoutolu; ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua; he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
18 Accomplish my precepts, and observe my judgments, and complete them, so that you may be able to live in the land without any fear,
Ko ia ke mou fai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo fai ki ai; pea te mou nofo malu pe ʻi he fonua.
19 and so that the soil may produce its fruits for you, from which you may eat, even to fullness, dreading violence by no one.
Pea ʻe tupu ʻi he fonua hono fua, pea te mou kai ʻo mākona, ʻo nofo ʻi ai ʻi he fiemālie.
20 But if you will say: What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow and do not gather our produce?
Pea kapau ʻoku mou pehē, Ko e hā te mau kai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu? Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau tūtuuʻi, pe tānaki ʻemau fua:
21 I will give my blessing to you in the sixth year, and it shall yield the produce of three years.
Teu toki fekau ʻeku tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono ono ʻoe taʻu, pea ʻe tupu ʻi ai ʻae fua ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe tolu.
22 And in the eighth year you shall sow, but you shall eat from the old produce, until the ninth year, until what is new matures, you shall eat what is old.
Pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻi hono valu ʻoe taʻu, kae kai ʻae fua motuʻa ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe taʻu: te mou kai ʻae meʻakai motuʻa kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻa hono toʻukai.
23 Also, the land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for it is mine, and you are newcomers and settlers to me.
ʻE ʻikai fakatau ʻae fonua ʻo taʻengata: he ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻae fonua; he ko e kau muli mo e ʻāunofo ʻakimoutolu kiate au.
24 Therefore, every region of your possession shall be sold under the condition of redemption.
Pea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻoku mou maʻu te mou tuku ke huhuʻi ʻae fonua.
25 If your brother, being in need, will have sold his little possession and his close relative is willing, he is able to redeem what he had sold.
Kapau kuo fakaʻaʻau ʻo masiva ʻa ho kāinga, pea kuo ne fakatau ha potu ʻo hono ʻapi, pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha niʻihi ʻi hono kāinga ke huhuʻi ia, ke ne huhuʻi ai ʻaia naʻe fakatau ʻe hono kāinga.
26 But if he has no near relative, and he himself is able to find the price to redeem it,
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ha tokotaha ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻoku faʻa huhuʻi ia ʻe ia pe;
27 the produce shall be calculated from that time when he sold it. And what is lacking, he shall repay to the buyer, and so he shall receive his possession.
Tuku ai ke ne lau ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻo hono fakatau ʻo ia, pea ʻatu hono toe ʻo ia ki he tangata naʻa ne fakatau ia ki ai; koeʻuhi ke toe haʻu ia ki hono ʻapi.
28 But if his hand will not have discovered a way to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the Jubilee. For in that year all that has been sold shall return to the owner, and to the original possessor.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe ia ke toe ʻomi ia kiate ia, pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatau ʻe tuku pe ia ʻi he nima ʻo ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli: pea ʻi he siupeli ʻe tukuange ia, pea ʻe haʻu ia ki hono ʻapi.
29 Whoever will have sold a house within the walls of a city shall have the freedom to redeem it, until one year has been completed.
Pea kapau ʻoku fakatau ʻe ha tangata ha fale nofoʻanga ʻi loto kolo ʻoku ai hano ʻā maka, ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene huhuʻi ia ʻi he ʻikai ʻosi ʻae taʻu kotoa hili hono fakatau: ʻi he taʻu kotoa ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene huhuʻi ia.
30 If he has not redeemed it, and the year will have turned full circle, the buyer and his posterity shall possess it, in perpetuity, and it is not able to be redeemed, even in the Jubilee.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia ʻi he taʻu kātoa, pea ko e fale ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻā maka ʻe ʻoʻona ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo taʻengata ʻi hono ngaahi toʻutangata; ʻe ʻikai toe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli.
31 But if the house is in a village, which has no walls, it shall be sold by the law of the fields. If it has not been redeemed beforehand, then in the Jubilee it shall return to the owner.
Ka ko e ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻā, ʻe lau ia fakataha mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻoe fonua: ʻe ngofua ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli.
32 The buildings of the Levites, which are in the cities, are always able to be redeemed.
Ka ko e ngaahi potu nofoʻanga ʻoe kau Livai, mo e ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi potu nofoʻanga ʻo honau ʻapi, ʻe ngofua ki he kau Livai, ke huhuʻi ia ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē.
33 If they have not been redeemed, then in the Jubilee they shall return to the owners, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possession among the sons of Israel.
Pea kapau ʻoku fakatau ʻe ha tangata mei he kau Livai, pea ko e fale naʻe fakatau, mo e potu kakai ʻo hono ʻapi, ʻe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli: he ko e ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai ʻoe kau Livai, ko honau ʻapi ia ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
34 But let not their suburbs be sold, for it is an everlasting possession.
Ka ko e ngoue ʻoku hoko ʻo ofi mo honau ngaahi potu kakai, ʻe ʻikai fakatau ia: he ko honau tofiʻa tuʻumaʻu ia.
35 If your brother has become impoverished, or infirm of hand, and you take him in, like a newcomer or a sojourner, and he lives with you,
Pea kapau kuo hoko ʻo masiva ʻa ho kāinga, pea kuo vaivai ia; pea te ke tokoni ia; neongo pe ko e muli ia pe ko ha ʻāunofo kiate koe; koeʻuhi ke ne moʻui ai mo koe.
36 do not accept usury from him, nor anything more than what you gave. Fear your God, so that your brother may be able to live with you.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke toʻo ha totongi ʻiate ia, pe hano tupu; ka ke manavahē ki he ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ke moʻui ho kāinga mo koe.
37 You shall not give him your money by usury, nor exact from him an overabundance of produce.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke ʻatu hoʻo koloa kiate ia ke maʻu ai ʻae totongi, pe nō hoʻo meʻakai ke maʻu ai hono tupu.
38 I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I might give to you the land of Canaan, and so that I may be your God.
Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, kuo u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, pea ke u hoko ko homou ʻOtua.
39 If your brother, having been compelled by poverty, will have sold himself to you, you shall not oppress him with the servitude of indentured servants.
Pea kapau kuo hoko ʻo masiva ho kāinga ʻoku nofo ofi kiate koe, pea fakatau ʻe ia ia kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakapōpulaʻi ia ke fai ʻo hangē ha hopoate;
40 But he shall be like a hired hand or a settler; he shall work with you, until the year of the Jubilee.
Ka ʻe ʻiate koe ia ʻo hangē ha tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ngāue ki ha totongi, mo e ʻāunofo, pea te ne ʻiate koe ko e tauhi ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli:
41 And after that, he shall depart with his children, and he shall return to his kindred, to the possession of his fathers.
Pea ʻe toki ʻalu ia ʻiate koe, ʻaia mo ʻene fānau mo ia, pea ʻe toe hoko atu ia ki hono kāinga, pea ʻe hoko ki he ʻapi ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
42 For these are my servants, and I led them away from the land of Egypt; let them not be sold into the condition of servitude.
He ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu, ʻaia naʻaku ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻoua naʻa fakatau ʻakinautolu ke fakapōpulaʻi.
43 Do not afflict him by power, but be fearful of your God.
‌ʻE ʻikai te ke puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi lahi; ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua.
44 Let your male and female servants be from the nations which are all around you,
Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau kaunanga ʻaia te ke maʻu, ʻe maʻu ia mei he kakai taʻelotu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate koe; ke mou fakatau ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga.
45 and from the newcomers who sojourn with you, or who have been born from them in your land. These you shall have as servants,
Pea koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻae kau muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, te mou fakatau ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻa nau fakatupu ʻi homou fonua: pea ko homou kakai ʻakinautolu.
46 and, by the right of inheritance, you shall transmit them to your posterity, and you shall possess them forever. But do not oppress your brothers, the sons of Israel, by power.
Pea ke mou maʻu ʻakinautolu ko e kakai ki hoʻomou fānau ʻoku muimui ʻiate kimoutolu, kenau maʻu ʻakinautolu ko honau kakai; ko hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata; ka ʻe ʻikai te mou pule mālohi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko homou kāinga, ko e taha ki he taha.
47 If the hand of a newcomer or a sojourner will have grown strong among you, and your brother, having become impoverished, will have sold himself to him, or to any of his stock,
Pea kapau ʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo koloaʻia ha ʻāunofo, pe ha muli ʻoku nofo ofi kiate koe, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo masiva ho kāinga ʻoku nofo ofi kiate ia, ʻo ne fakatau ia ki he muli pe ko e ʻāunofo ʻoku nofo ʻāunofo ofi kiate ia, pe ki ha tokotaha ʻi he hako ʻoe muli:
48 after the sale, he is able to be redeemed. Whoever is willing among his brothers shall redeem him:
Hili hono fakatau ia ʻoku ngofua ke huhuʻi ia: ʻoku ngofua ke huhuʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi hono kāinga.
49 either the paternal uncle, or the paternal uncle’s son, or his close relative, by blood or by affinity. But if he himself will be able also, he shall redeem himself,
‌ʻE ngofua ke huhuʻi ia ʻe he tokoua ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ko e foha ʻoʻona, pe huhuʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku kāinga ofi kiate ia ʻi hono kāinga; pea kapau ʻoku ne mafai, ke huhuʻi ia ʻe ia pe.
50 considering only the years from the time of his selling until the year of the Jubilee, and calculating the money for which he was sold, according to the number of years and the accounting of a hired hand.
Pea te ne lau kiate ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo fai mei he taʻu naʻe fakatau ai ia kiate ia ʻo hoko ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli: pea ko e totongi ʻoe fakatau ʻe fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu, ʻe fakatatau ia kiate ia mo e ngāue ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku totongi.
51 If there will have been many years which remain until the Jubilee, according to these shall he also repay the price.
Kapau ʻoku toe lahi ʻae taʻu kimui, ʻe toe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻo fakatatau ki ai ʻae koloa ʻo hono huhuʻi mei he koloa naʻe fakatauʻaki ia.
52 If few, he shall determine the accounting with him according to the number of years, and he shall repay to the buyer by what is left remaining of the years;
Pea kapau ʻoku toe siʻi pe ʻae taʻu ki he siupeli, pea ʻe lau ia ki ai mo ia, pea ʻe toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono taʻu ʻae totongi ʻo hono huhuʻi.
53 his wages being charged by what served before. He shall not afflict him violently in your sight.
Pea ʻe ʻiate ia ia ʻo hangē ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue ʻoku totongi ʻi he taʻu taki taha; pea ʻe ʻikai puleʻi mālohi ia kiate ia ʻi ho ʻao.
54 But if, by these means, he will not be able to be redeemed, then in the year of the Jubilee he shall depart with his children.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ko ia, pea ʻe toki tukuange ia ʻi he taʻu ʻoe siupeli, ʻa ia, mo ʻene fānau mo ia.
55 For they are my servants, the sons of Israel, whom I led away from the land of Egypt.
He ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu, ʻaia kuo u ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
