< Leviticus 25 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.
“Pale a fis Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nou vini nan peyi ke Mwen va bannou an, alò, tè a va gen yon Saba pou SENYÈ a.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:
Pandan sis ane, nou va plante chan nou yo, e pandan sis ane, nou va netwaye chan rezen an e rasanble pou fè rekòlt li,
4 But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
men pandan setyèm ane a, tè a va gen yon repo Saba, yon Saba pou SENYÈ a. Nou p ap ni plante chan an ni netwaye chan rezen an.
5 What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to the land:
Donn nan chan ki grandi pa aza konsa a, nou pa pou rekòlte li, e rezen nou yo ki parèt sou branch ki pa t taye yo, nou pa pou ranmase yo. Tè a va gen yon ane Saba.
6 But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:
Konsa, nou tout va gen pwodwi Saba nan peyi a kòm manje nou; nou menm, esklav yo, ni mal ni femèl, anplwaye nou yo, etranje ki rezidan pami nou yo, sila ki viv tankou moun lòt nasyon pami nou yo.
7 All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
Menm bèf nou yo avèk bèt ki nan peyi a va gen tout pwodwi li kòm manje.
8 Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
“‘Nou dwe osi kontwole sèt Saba pa lane yo pou nou menm; sèt fwa sèt ane, jiskaske nou kontwole tan ke sèt Saba nan Saba ekoule yo; otreman, karant-nèf ane.
9 And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
Alò, lè lè sa a rive nou va sone kòn belye a toupatou nan dizyèm jou nan setyèm mwa a. Nan jou ekspiyasyon an, nou va sone yon kòn toupatou nan peyi a.
10 And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
Se konsa, nou va konsakre senkantyèm ane a e pwoklame remisyon toupatou nan peyi a, a tout abitan li yo. Li va yon jibile pou nou, e nou chak va retounen nan pwòp teren pa nou ak pwòp fanmi pa nou.
11 Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
Nou va gen senkantyèm ane a kòm yon ane jibile. Nou pa pou plante, ni rekòlte sa ki grandi konsa nan tè, ni ranmase fwi ki sòti nan branch ki pa t netwaye yo.
12 Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
Paske se yon jibile; li va sen pou nou. Nou va manje pwodwi li ki sòti nan chan an.
13 In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
“‘Nan ane jibile sila a, nou chak va retounen nan pwòp tè pa nou.
14 When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
“‘Anplis, si nou fè lavant bay zanmi nou, oswa achte nan men zanmi nou, nou pa pou fè tò a youn lòt.
15 And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
Konsènan nonb ane apre jibile yo, konsa, nou va achte nan men zanmi nou. Li dwe vann nou selon nonb ane rekòlt yo ki rete.
16 The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
Nan menm fòs ane ki rete yo, nou va ogmante pri a, e nan menm fòs ane ki manke yo, nou va redwi pri a, paske li se fòs rekòlt ki rete ke l ap vann ou an.
17 Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.
Konsa, pinga nou fè tò a youn lòt, men nou va krent Bondye nou an; paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
18 Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,
“‘Se konsa ke nou va obsève règleman Mwen yo e kenbe jijman Mwen yo, pou akonpli yo, pou nou kapab viv an sekirite sou tè a.
19 And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.
“‘Konsa, tè a va donnen pwodwi li pou nou kapab manje vant plen, e viv an sekirite sou tè a.’”
20 But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
“Men si nou ta di: ‘Kisa n ap manje nan setyèm ane a si nou pa ni plante ni rekòlte rekòlt nou yo? Gade byen, nou pa p semen, ni rasanble pwodwi nou;’
21 I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:
alò, Mwen va tèlman regle benediksyon Mwen yo pou nou nan sizyèm ane a, pou li kab pote yon rekòlt twazan.
22 And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.
Lè nou ap plante nan uityèm ane a, nou kapab toujou manje ansyen bagay a rekòlt yo, e nou va kontinye manje vye a jis rive nan nevyèm ane a lè rekòlt pa li kòmanse antre a.
23 The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.
“Tè a, anplis, pa pou vann nèt, paske tè a se pa M; paske nou se sèlman etranje k ap demere avè M.
24 For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
Konsa, nan chak mòso tè ke nou posede, fòk nou fè pwovizyon pou peye ranson tè a.
25 If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.
“Si yon moun peyi parèy nou an vin tèlman pòv ke li oblije vann yon pati nan tè li a, alò, se fanmi pi pre li a ki dwe peye ranson ke manm fanmi li te vann nan.
26 But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
Oswa nan ka a yon moun ki pa gen fanmi, men ki tèlman regle zafè li pou twouve ase mwayen pou peye ranson an,
27 The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.
alò, li va kalkile ane yo soti lè li te vann nan, e remèt fòs balans sa a moun ke li te vann li an. Konsa li va retounen vin pwòp teren pa l.
28 But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.
Men si li poko twouve ase mwayen pou reprann li pou kont li, alò, sa ke li te vann nan, va rete nan men a sila ki achte li a jis rive nan ane jibile a. Men nan jibile a, li va libere, pou li kapab retounen kon pwòp tè pa li.
29 He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:
“Menm jan an, si yon mesye vann yon kay nan yon vil ki antoure avèk miray, alò, dwa pou peye ranson pa l la va dire pou tout 1 nan.
30 If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.
Men si li pa peye ranson li an nan 1 nan ki ekoule a, alò, kay ki nan vil antoure avèk miray la va pase nèt bay sila ki te achte li pou tout jenerasyon li yo. Li p ap remèt nan jibile a.
31 But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.
Men kay nan vil ki pa antoure avèk miray yo va konsidere kòm chan ouvri; yo gen dwa peye ranson an e yo va remèt nan jibile a.
32 The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:
“Men nan vil ki pou Levit yo, Levit yo gen yon dwa pèmanan pou peye ranson nan vil ki se posesyon pa yo.
33 If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.
Konsa, sa ki pou Levit yo kapab peye ranson e yon vant kay nan vil posesyon sila a va remèt nan jibile a. Paske vil Levit yo se posesyon pa yo pami fis Israël yo.
34 But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
Men chan pou bèt nan vil pa yo pa pou vann, paske sa se posesyon pa yo pou tout tan.
35 If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,
“Alò, nan ka ke yon moun peyi nou an vin pòv e zafè li vin gate, alò, nou gen pou bay li soutyen. Li va viv tankou etranje, oswa yon moun k ap demere, pou li kapab toujou rete pami nou.
36 Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
Pa pran enterè ni avantaj sou li, men onore Bondye ou a pou li kapab viv avèk ou.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
Ou pa pou bay li lajan ou avèk enterè, ni manje ou pou fè pwofi.
38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.
Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou bannou peyi Canaan an pou M kapab Bondye nou.
39 If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
“Si yon moun peyi parèy nou vin tèlman pòv pami nou menm, e li vin vann tèt li bannou, nou pa pou desann li nan sèvis esklavaj.
40 But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,
Li va rete avèk nou kòm yon jounalye, menm kòm yon demere. Li va sèvi avèk nou jis rive nan ane jibile a.
41 And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,
Konsa li va sòti de nou menm, li menm avèk fis li yo avè l, e li va retounen vè fanmi li, pou li kapab retounen nan teren zansèt li yo.
42 For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
Paske yo se sèvitè Mwen ke Mwen te mennen sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Yo pa pou vann kon vant esklav la.
43 Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
Nou pa pou domine li avèk severite, men onore Bondye nou an.
44 Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
“Selon esklav, mal ak femèl ke petèt nou kapab gen, —-nou kapab jwenn esklav mal ak femèl nan nasyon payen ki antoure nou yo.
45 And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
Alò, osi, se soti nan fis a demere k ap viv pami nou yo, ke nou kapab vin genyen yo, e ladann nan fanmi pa yo ki avèk nou, ke yo va gen tan pwodwi nan peyi nou; yo menm osi kapab devni posesyon pa nou.
46 And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
Nou kapab menm sede a fis apre nou yo, pou resevwa yo kòm yon posesyon. Nou kapab sèvi yo kòm esklav pou tout tan. Men pou moun peyi nou an, nou pa pou domine avèk severite youn sou lòt.
47 If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
“Alò, si mwayen a yon etranje, oswa yon demere avèk nou vin rich, e yon moun peyi parèy a nou an vin tèlman pòv ke li vin vann tèt li bay yon etranje ki demere pami nou, oswa desandan a yon fanmi etranje,
48 After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
alò, li va gen dwa peye ranson nan moman li fenk vann nan. Youn nan frè li yo kapab peye ranson li an,
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,
oswa tonton li, oswa fis tonton li, kapab peye ranson li an, oswa si li vin pwospere, li kapab peye ranson an pou pwòp tèt li.
50 Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,
Konsa, li menm avèk sila ki te achte li a, va kalkile ansanm soti nan ane ke li te vann tèt li bay li menm nan jis pou rive nan jibile a. Pri lavant li an va koresponn a nonb ane ke li te avèk li yo. Se tankou jou a yon jounalye ke li va avèk li.
51 If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
Si gen toujou anpil ane, li va remèt yon pati nan pri lavant lan pou kouvri yo pou peye pwòp ranson pa li.
52 If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,
Si se pa anpil ane ki rete pou rive nan ane jibile a, li va kalkile sa avèk li. Selon ane ki rete yo li va remèt menm fòs la pou pri ranson an.
53 His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.
Menm tankou yon ouvriye ki anplwaye ane pa ane li va konsa avèk li. Li p ap domine sou li avèk severite devan zye nou.
54 And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
“Menm si li pa peye ranson an pa mwayen sila yo, li va toujou sòti nan ane jibile a, li menm avèk fis li yo avè l.
55 For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
Paske fis Israël yo se sèvitè Mwen; yo se sèvitè Mwen ke M te mennen fè sòti nan peyi Égypte yo. Mwen se Senyè a, Bondye nou an.
