Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in monte Sinai dicens
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye shall come into the lande which I giue you, the lande shall keepe Sabbath vnto the Lord.
loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis sabbatizet sabbatum Domini
3 Sixe yeeres thou shalt sowe thy field, and sixe yeeres thou shalt cut thy vineyarde, and gather the fruite thereof.
sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius
4 But the seuenth yeere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande: it shall be the Lordes Sabbath: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terrae requietionis Domini agrum non seres et vineam non putabis
5 That which groweth of it owne accorde of thy haruest, thou shalt not reape, neither gather the grapes that thou hast left vnlaboured: for it shalbe a yeere of rest vnto the land.
quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae est
6 And the rest of the lande shall be meate for you, euen for thee, and for thy seruant, and for thy mayde, and for thy hired seruant, and for the stranger that soiourneth with thee:
sed erunt vobis in cibum tibi et servo tuo ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae qui peregrinantur apud te
7 And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande shall all the encrease thereof be meate.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum
8 Also thou shalt number seuen Sabbaths of yeeres vnto thee, euen seuen times seuen yeere: and the space of the seuen Sabbaths of yeeres will be vnto thee nine and fourtie yeere.
numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem
9 Then thou shalt cause to blow the trumpet of the Iubile in the tenth day of the seuenth moneth: euen in the day of the reconciliation shall ye make the trumpet blowe, throughout all your lande.
et clanges bucina mense septimo decima die mensis propitiationis tempore in universa terra vestra
10 And ye shall halowe that yeere, euen the fiftieth yeere, and proclaime libertie in the lande to all the inhabitants thereof: it shalbe the Iubile vnto you, and ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession, and euery man shall returne vnto his familie.
sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terrae tuae ipse est enim iobeleus revertetur homo ad possessionem suam et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam
11 This fiftieth yeere shalbe a yeere of Iubile vnto you: ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes thereof, that are left vnlaboured.
quia iobeleus est et quinquagesimus annus non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia et primitias vindemiae non colligetis
12 For it is the Iubile, it shall be holy vnto you: ye shall eate of the encrease thereof out of the fielde.
ob sanctificationem iobelei sed statim ablata comedetis
13 In the yeere of this Iubile, ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession.
anno iobelei redient omnes ad possessiones suas
14 And when thou sellest ought to thy neighbour, or byest at thy neighbours hande, ye shall not oppresse one another:
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo vel emes ab eo ne contristes fratrem tuum sed iuxta numerum annorum iobelei emes ab eo
15 But according to the nomber of yeeres after the Iubile thou shalt bye of thy neighbour: also according to the nomber of the yeeres of the reuenues, he shall sell vnto thee.
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi
16 According to the multitude of yeeres, thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewnesse of yeeres, thou shalt abate the price of it: for the nomber of fruites doeth he sell vnto thee.
quanto plus anni remanserint post iobeleum tanto crescet et pretium et quanto minus temporis numeraveris tanto minoris et emptio constabit tempus enim frugum vendet tibi
17 Oppresse not ye therefore any man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: for I am the Lord your God.
nolite adfligere contribules vestros sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum quia ego Dominus Deus vester
18 Wherefore ye shall obey mine ordinances, and keepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie.
facite praecepta mea et iudicia custodite et implete ea ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore
19 And the lande shall giue her fruite, and ye shall eate your fill, and dwell therein in safetie.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem nullius impetum formidantes
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere, for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase?
quod si dixeritis quid comedemus anno septimo si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras
21 I will sende my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring foorth fruite for three yeeres.
dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto et faciet fructus trium annorum
22 And ye shall sowe the eight yeere, and eate of the olde fruite vntill the ninth yeere: vntill the fruite thereof come, ye shall eate the olde.
seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum donec nova nascantur edetis vetera
23 Also the lande shall not be solde to be cut off from the familie: for the land is mine, and ye be but strangers and soiourners with me.
terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum quia mea est et vos advenae et coloni mei estis
24 Therefore in all the land of your possession ye shall graunt a redemption for the lande.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione vendetur
25 If thy brother be impouerished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, euen his neere kinsman, and bye out that which his brother solde.
si adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam et voluerit propinquus eius potest redimere quod ille vendiderat
26 And if he haue no redeemer, but hath gotten and founde to bye it out,
sin autem non habuerit proximum et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire
27 Then shall he count the yeeres of his sale, and restore the ouerplus to the man, to whome he solde it: so shall he returne to his possession.
conputabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit et quod reliquum est reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam
28 But if he can not get sufficient to restore to him, then that which is solde, shall remaine in the hande of him that hath bought it, vntill the yere of the Iubile: and in the Iubile it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession.
quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium habebit emptor quod emerat usque ad annum iobeleum in ipso enim omnis venditio redit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum
29 Likewise if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled citie, he may bye it out againe within a whole yeere after it is solde: within a yeere may he bye it out.
qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus
30 But if it be not bought out within ye space of a ful yeere, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablished, as cut off from the familie, to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not goe out in the Iubile.
si non redemerit et anni circulus fuerit evolutus emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo
31 But the houses of villages, which haue no walles round about them, shalbe esteemed as the fielde of the countrey: they may be bought out againe, and shall goe out in the Iubile.
sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum
32 Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons.
aedes Levitarum quae in urbibus sunt semper possunt redimi
33 And if a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession shall goe out in the Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel.
si redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel
34 But the fielde of the suburbes of their cities, shall not be solde: for it is their perpetuall possession.
suburbana autem eorum non venient quia possessio sempiterna est
35 Moreouer, if thy brother be impouerished, and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieue him, and as a stranger and soiourner, so shall he liue with thee.
si adtenuatus fuerit frater tuus et infirmus manu et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum et vixerit tecum
36 Thou shalt take no vsurie of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee.
ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti time Deum tuum ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te
37 Thou shalt not giue him thy money to vsurie, nor lende him thy vitailes for increase.
pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram et frugum superabundantiam non exiges
38 I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to giue you the lande of Canaan, and to be your God.
ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut darem vobis terram Chanaan et essem vester Deus
39 If thy brother also that dwelleth by thee, be impouerished, and be sold vnto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serue as a bond seruant,
si paupertate conpulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus non eum opprimes servitute famulorum
40 But as an hired seruant, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee: he shall serue thee vnto the yeere of the Iubile.
sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te
41 Then shall he depart from thee, both hee, and his children with him, and shall returne vnto his familie, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne:
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis et revertetur ad cognationem et ad possessionem patrum suorum
42 For they are my seruants, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypt: they shall not be solde as bondmen are solde.
mei enim servi sunt et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti non venient condicione servorum
43 Thou shalt not rule ouer him cruelly, but shalt feare thy God.
ne adfligas eum per potentiam sed metuito Deum tuum
44 Thy bond seruant also, and thy bond maid, which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye bye seruants and maydes.
servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quae in circuitu vestro sunt
45 And moreouer of the children of the stragers, that are soiourners among you, of them shall ye bye, and of their families that are with you, which they begate in your lande: these shall be your possession.
et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra hos habebitis famulos
46 So ye shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possesse them by inheritance, ye shall vse their labours for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one ouer another with crueltie.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum fratres autem vestros filios Israhel ne opprimatis per potentiam
47 If a soiourner or a stranger dwelling by thee get riches, and thy brother by him be impouerished, and sell him selfe vnto the stranger or soiourner dwelling by thee, or to the stocke of the strangers familie,
si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini et adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius
48 After that he is solde, he may be bought out: one of his brethren may bye him out,
post venditionem potest redimi qui voluerit ex fratribus suis redimet eum
49 Or his vncle, or his vncles sonne may bye him out, or any of the kindred of his flesh among his familie, may redeeme him: either if he can get so much, he may bye him selfe out.
et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et adfinis sin autem et ipse potuerit redimet se
50 Then he shall recken with his byer from the yeere that he was solde to him, vnto the yere of Iubile: and the money of his sale shalbe according to the number of yeeres: according to the time of an hyred seruant shall he be with him.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suae usque ad annum iobeleum et pecunia qua venditus fuerat iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii supputata
51 If there be many yeeres behind, according to them he shall giue againe for his deliuerance, of the money that he was bought for.
si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iobeleum secundum hos reddet et pretium
52 If there remaine but fewe yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according to his yeeres giue againe for his redemption.
si pauci ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum
53 He shalbe with him yeere by yeere as an hired seruant: he shall not rule cruelly ouer him in thy sight.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus inputatis non adfliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo
54 And if he be not redeemed thus, he shall go out in the yeere of Iubile, he, and his children with him.
quod si per haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis
55 For vnto me the children of Israel are seruants: they are my seruants, who I haue brought out of the land of Egypt: I am ye Lord your God.
mei sunt enim servi filii Israhel quos eduxi de terra Aegypti
