Leviticus 25
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I will give you, the land shall celebrate a sabbath to Jehovah.
Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof,
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus ejus:
4 but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. Thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 That which springeth up from the scattered seed of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thine undressed vines thou shalt not gather: a year of rest shall it be for the land.
Quæ sponte gignet humus, non metes: et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam: annus enim requietionis terræ est:
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you, for thee, and for thy bondman, and for thy handmaid, and for thy hired servant, and for him that dwelleth as a sojourner with thee, and for thy cattle,
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 and for the beasts that are in thy land: all the produce thereof shall be for food.
jumentis tuis et pecoribus, omnia quæ nascuntur præbebunt cibum.
8 And thou shalt count seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; so that the days of the seven sabbaths of years be unto thee forty-nine years.
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 Then shalt thou cause the loud sound of the trumpet to go forth in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement shall ye cause the trumpet to go forth throughout your land.
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 And ye shall hallow the year of the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; a [year of] jubilee shall it be unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family;
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terræ tuæ: ipse est enim jubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather [the fruit of] its undressed vines.
quia jubilæus est, et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.
ob sanctificationem jubilæi: sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
Anno jubilæi, redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.
Quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed juxta numerum annorum jubilæi emes ab eo,
15 According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.
et juxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.
Quanto plures anni remanserint post jubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit: tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.
Facite præcepta mea, et judicia custodite, et implete ea: ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;
dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Terra quoque non vendetur in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenæ et coloni mei estis:
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestræ sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
25 If thy brother grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother sold.
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus ejus, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,
Sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire,
27 then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
Quod si non invenerit manus ejus ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum jubilæum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum.
29 And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
30 But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
Si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri ejus in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in jubilæo.
31 But the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum jure vendetur: si ante redempta non fuerit, in jubilæo revertetur ad dominum.
32 But as to the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.
Ædes Levitarum quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 And if any one redeem from one of the Levites, then the house that was sold, in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in jubilæo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israël.
34 And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And if thy brother grow poor, and he be fallen into decay beside thee, then thou shalt relieve him, [be he] stranger or sojourner, that he may live beside thee.
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee.
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti: time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut darem vobis terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee.
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum jubilæum operabitur apud te,
41 Then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem, ad possessionem patrum suorum.
42 For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as [men] sell bondmen.
Mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de terra Ægypti: non veneant conditione servorum:
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 And as for thy bondman and thy handmaid whom thou shalt have — of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and handmaids.
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
45 Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession.
et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
46 And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour.
et hæreditario jure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum: fratres autem vestros filios Israël ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And if a stranger or sojourner become wealthy beside thee, and thy brother beside him grow poor, and sell himself unto the stranger, who is settled by thee, or to a scion of the stranger's family,
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe ejus:
48 after that he is sold there shall be right of redemption for him; one of his brethren may redeem him.
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 Either his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him, or one of his next relations of his family may redeem him; or if his means be sufficient, he may redeem himself.
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of a hired servant shall he be with him.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum jubilæum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, juxta annorum numerum, et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 If there are yet many years, according unto them shall he return his redemption [money] out of the money that he was bought for;
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad jubilæum, secundum hos reddet et pretium:
52 and if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his [remaining] years [of service] shall he give him back his redemption [money].
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo juxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 As a hired servant shall he be with him year by year; [his master] shall not rule with rigour over him before thine eyes.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he be not redeemed in this manner, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno jubilæo egredietur cum liberis suis.
55 For the children of Israel are servants unto me; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
Mei enim sunt servi filii Israël, quos eduxi de terra Ægypti.
