Leviticus 25
1 And the LORD spake unto 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 which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus eius:
4 but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest 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 servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourn with thee;
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quæ nascuntur, præbebunt cibum.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile 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 iubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of the undressed vines.
quia iubilæus est et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis, neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 For it is a jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
ob sanctificationem iubilæi, sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 In this year of jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
Anno iubilæi redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not wrong one another:
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed iuxta numerum annorum iubilei emes ab eo,
15 according to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee.
Quanto plures anni remanserint post iubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit. tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
Facite præcepta mea, et iudicia custodite, et implete ea, ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
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, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; 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 be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus eius, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient to redeem it;
sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire:
27 then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum iubileum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum, et ad possessorem pristinum.
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; 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 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri eius in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in iubileo.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum iure vendetur. si ante redempta non fuerit, in iubileo revertetur ad dominum.
32 Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
Ædes Levitarum, quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 And if one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in iubileo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: [as] a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with thee.
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam, et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 Take thou no usury of him or increase; but fear thy God: that thy brother may live 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 give him thy money upon usury, nor give him thy victuals for increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I am the LORD your God, which 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 be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant:
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubile:
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum iubileum operabitur apud te,
41 then shall he go out 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 servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as 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; but shalt fear thy God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten 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 make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigour.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum. fratres autem vestros filios Israel ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxen rich, and thy brother be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger [or] sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe eius:
48 after that he is sold he may be redeemed; one of his brethren may redeem him:
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 or 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 waxen rich, 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 sold himself 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 he be with him.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum iubileum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iubileum, secundum hos reddet et pretium.
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption.
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he be not redeemed by these [means], then he shall go out in the year of jubile, he, and his children with him.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno iubileo egredietur cum liberis suis.
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.
Mei enim sunt servi, filii Israel, quos eduxi de Terra Ægypti.
