Leviticus 25
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
上主在西乃山訓示梅瑟說：」
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
你告訴以色列子民說：幾時你們進入了我要賜給你們的地方，這地方將為上主守安息。
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
六年之內，你可播種田地；六年之內，你可修剪葡萄園，收穫其中的出產。
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
但到第七年，地應完全休息，是上主的安息年。你不可播種田地，也不可修剪葡萄園；
5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
連你收穫後而自然生出的，你也不可收割；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，你也不可採摘；是地完全休息的一年。
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you.
地在休息期而自然生出的，可供你們吃：即供給你、你的僕卑、傭工和與你同住的客人吃。
7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be food.
地自然生的，也可供給你的牲畜和你地中的走獸吃。喜年
8 And you shall number seven sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto you forty and nine years.
你應計算七個安息年，即七乘七年；七個安息年的時期，正是四十九年。
9 Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall all of you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
這年七月初十，你應吹號即在贖罪節日，你們應在全國內吹起號角，
10 And all of you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and all of you shall return every man unto his possession, and all of you shall return every man unto his family.
祝聖第五十年，向全國居民宣布自由；為你們是一喜年，人各歸其祖業，人各反其家庭。
11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: all of you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.
第五十年為你們是一喜年，不可播種；自然生出的，不可收穫；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，不可採摘，
12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: all of you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
為這是喜年，為你們應是聖年；你們只可吃田地自然生的。
13 In the year of this jubile all of you shall return every man unto his possession.
在這喜年內，人各歸其祖業。
14 And if you sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy ought of your neighbour's hand, all of you shall not oppress one another:
為此，如你賣給你的同胞產業，或由你的同胞購買，你們不可彼此欺壓；
15 According to the number of years after the jubile you shall buy of your neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto you:
你應照上次喜年後的年數由你同胞購買，他應照收穫的年數賣給你。
16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell unto you.
年數越多，你越應多付買價；年數越少，越應少付買價，因為他賣給你的事物產的數目。
17 All of you shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
為此，你們不可彼此欺壓，但應敬畏你的天主，因為我上主是你們的天主。
18 Wherefore all of you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and all of you shall dwell in the land in safety.
你們應遵行我的法令，遵守我的規定，一一依照執行，好叫你們平安地住在這地上，
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and all of you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
地必供給出產，使你們吃飽，平安住在地上。
20 And if all of you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
若你們追問說：到第七年，我們若不能播種，又不能收集我們的出產，我們吃什麼﹖
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
在第六年上，我必決定祝福你們，叫地有三年的出產；
22 And all of you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in all of you shall eat of the old store.
你們在第八年上播種時，還吃陳糧；直到第九年，直到收割新糧時，還有陳糧吃。[土地贖回法]
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for all of you are strangers and sojourners with me.
土地不可出賣而無收回權，因為地是我的，你們為我只是旅客或住客。
24 And in all the land of your possession all of you shall grant a redemption for the land.
對你們所佔的各地，應承認地有贖回權。
25 If your brother be becoming poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
如果你的兄弟貧窮，賣了一份家產，他的至親可來作代贖人，贖回他兄弟所賣的家產。
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
若沒有代贖人，幾時自己富足了，有了足夠的贖價，
27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the surplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
當計算賣出後的年數，將差額還給買主，收回自己的家產。
28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
如果他無法獲得足夠的贖價，他所賣的，應存於買主之手直到喜年；到了喜年，地應退還，賣主收回自己的家產。房屋贖回法
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
若人賣了一所在城牆內的住宅，自賣出後，一年內，他有贖回的權利；他贖回的權利為期一年。
30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, 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 jubile.
如果滿了一年，他沒有贖回，在城牆內的房屋應歸買主與其後代，再無收回權；即使到了喜年，亦不應退還。
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
但房屋在沒有圍牆的村莊內，應算是田產，有贖回的權利；到了喜年應該退還。
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
至於肋未人得為產業的城市中的房屋，肋未人永享有贖回權。
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
如一肋未人在他得為產業的城市出賣的房屋，沒有贖回，在喜年仍可收回，因為肋未城中的房屋，是他們在以色列子民中所得的不動產。
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
但是，他們城外四郊之地，不可變賣，因為是永屬他們的產業。對同胞不可取利
35 And if your brother be becoming poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.
如果你的兄弟貧窮，無力向你還債，你應像待外方人一樣或旅客一樣扶持他，叫他能與你一起生活。
36 Take you no interest of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.
不應向他索取利息或重利，但應敬畏你的天主，讓他與你一起生活，如你的兄弟。
37 You shall not give him your money upon interest, nor lend him your victuals for increase.
借給他銀錢，不可取利息；借給他糧食，不可取重利。
38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
我上主是你們的天主，我領你們離開埃及地，將客納罕第賜給你們，是為做你們的天主。以色列人為奴的法律
39 And if your brother that dwells by you be becoming poor, and be sold unto you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
若你身旁的兄弟窮了，賣身給你不可迫他勞作如同奴隸一樣；
40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you unto the year of jubile.
他在你身旁，應像傭工或外僑，給你工作直到喜年。
41 And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
那時，他和他的子女應離開你，回本家，復歸期祖業；
42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
因為他是我的僕役，是我由埃及地領出來的；他們不能賣身，如同出賣奴隸。
43 You shall not rule over him with rigour; but shall fear your God.
你不可虐待他，但應敬畏你的天主。
44 Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall all of you buy bondmen and bondmaids.
你需要的奴婢，應來自四周的民族，由他們中可購買奴婢。
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall all of you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they brings forth in your land: and they shall be your possession.
此外，可從同你們住在一起的外方人中，或從他們在你們境內所生的後代子孫中，購買奴婢。這些奴婢可成為你們的產業，
46 And all of you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, all of you shall not rule one over another with rigour.
可將他們留給你們的後代子孫，當作永久的產業，使他們勞作。至於你們的兄弟以色列子民，彼此既是兄弟，不可嚴加虐待。
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
若外方人，或寄居在你處的人乘了富翁，你的兄弟反而窮了，欠他的債，而賣身給寄居在你處的外方人，或外方人家中的後代；
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
賣身以後，仍享有贖回的權利；他的人一個兄弟可以贖他；
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
他的叔伯，或他叔伯的兒子可以贖他；他家中的任何至親骨肉都可以贖他；如他自己致富，亦可自贖。
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
他應同購買自己的人，計算從賣身給他以後到喜年的年數；贖價應依照年數的多少，並按照傭工每日的工價決定；
51 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
如剩下的年數尚多，他應依照年數的多少，出一部份贖價來贖身。
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
如直到喜年剩下的年數不多，應這樣計算：依照年數的比例交付贖價。
53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in your sight.
買主對他應像每年雇的工人；不可當著你虐待那人。
54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
如果那人不能這樣贖身，到了喜年，他可與兒女自由離去。
55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
因為以色列子民只對我是奴隸，他們是我的奴隸，是我領他們離開了埃及地：我，上主是你們的天主。
