Leviticus 25
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying—
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in monte Sinai dicens
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: —When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.
loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis sabbatizet sabbatum Domini
3 Six years, shalt thou sow thy field, and, six years, shalt thou prune thy vineyard, —and gather the increase thereof;
sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius
4 but, in the seventh year—a sabbath of sacred rest, shall there be unto the land, a sabbath unto Yahweh: thy field, shalt thou not sow, and, thy vineyard, shalt thou not prune;
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terrae requietionis Domini agrum non seres et vineam non putabis
5 that which groweth of itself of thy harvest, shalt thou not reap; and the grapes of thine unpruned vines, shalt thou not cut off: a year of sacred rest, shall there be to the land.
quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae est
6 So shall the sabbath of the land be unto you for food: unto thee, and unto thy servant and unto thy handmaid, —and unto thy hireling, and unto thy settlers that are sojourning with thee;
sed erunt vobis in cibum tibi et servo tuo ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae qui peregrinantur apud te
7 and unto thy tame-beasts, and unto the wild-beasts that are in thy land, shall belong all the increase thereof for food.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum
8 And thou shalt count to thee seven weeks of years, seven years, seven times, —so shall the days of the seven weeks of years become to thee forty-nine years.
numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem
9 Then shalt thou cause a signal-horn to pass through in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month: on the Day of Propitiation, shall ye cause a horn to pass throughout all your land.
et clanges bucina mense septimo decima die mensis propitiationis tempore in universa terra vestra
10 So shall ye hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim freedom throughout the land to all the dwellers thereof, —a jubilee, shall it be unto you, and ye shall return, every man unto his possession, and every man unto his family, shall ye return.
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 A jubilee, shall that fiftieth year be unto you, —ye shall not sow, neither shall ye reap the self-grown corn thereof, nor cut off the grapes of the unpruned vines thereof.
quia iobeleus est et quinquagesimus annus non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia et primitias vindemiae non colligetis
12 For, a jubilee, it is, holy, shall it be unto you, —out of the field, shall ye eat her increase.
ob sanctificationem iobelei sed statim ablata comedetis
13 In this same jubilee year, shall ye return every man unto his possession.
anno iobelei redient omnes ad possessiones suas
14 And when ye sell anything to thy neighbour, or buy aught at thy neighbour’s hand, do not overreach one another.
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo vel emes ab eo ne contristes fratrem tuum sed iuxta numerum annorum iobelei emes ab eo
15 By the number of years after the jubilee, shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, —by the number of the years of increase, shall he sell unto thee;
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi
16 according to the multitude of the years, shalt thou increase the price thereof, and, according to the fewness of the years, shalt thou diminish the price thereof, —because the sum of the increase, it is that he selleth 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 So then ye shall not overreach one another; but thou shalt stand in awe of thy God, —for, I—Yahweh, am your God.
nolite adfligere contribules vestros sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum quia ego Dominus Deus vester
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and my regulations, shall ye observe and do them, —so shall ye dwell upon the land with confidence;
facite praecepta 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 to the full, —and shall dwell with confidence thereupon.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem nullius impetum formidantes
20 And since ye may say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? Lo! we are not to sow, neither are we to gather our increase!
quod si dixeritis quid comedemus anno septimo si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras
21 Therefore will I command my blessing upon you, in the sixth year, —and it shall make the increase of three years;
dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto et faciet fructus trium annorum
22 and ye shall sow, the eighth year, and eat of old store, —until the ninth year until the coming in of the increase thereof, shall ye eat old store.
seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum donec nova nascantur edetis vetera
23 The land moreover shall not be sold beyond recovery, for, mine, is the land, —for, sojourners and settlers, ye are with me.
terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum quia mea est et vos advenae et coloni mei estis
24 And, in all the land of your possession, a right of redemption, shall ye give to the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione vendetur
25 When thy brother waxeth poor, and so selleth aught of his possession, then may his kinsman that is near unto him come in, and redeem that which was sold by his brother.
si adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam et voluerit propinquus eius potest redimere quod ille vendiderat
26 And, when, any man, hath no kinsman, —but his own hand getteth enough, so that he findeth what is needed to redeem it,
sin autem non habuerit proximum et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire
27 then shall he reckon the years since he sold it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it, —and shall return to his possession.
conputabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit et quod reliquum est reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam
28 But, if his hand have not found enough to get it back unto him, then shall that which he sold remain in the hand of him that bought it, until the year of the jubilee, —and shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return unto 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 And, when, any man, selleth a dwelling-house in a walled city, then shall his right of redemption remain until the completion of a year after he sold it, —for, [a year of] days, shall his right of redemption remain.
qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus
30 But, if it be not redeemed before the end of a full year, then shall the house that is in the city that hath walls be confirmed, beyond recovery, to him who bought it, unto his generations, —it shall not go out in the jubilee.
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 as for the houses of villages which have no wall round about them, with the fields of land, shall it be reckoned, —a right of redemption, shall belong to it, and, in the jubilee, shall it go out.
sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum
32 And as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, an age-abiding right of redemption, shall pertain unto the Levites.
aedes Levitarum quae in urbibus sunt semper possunt redimi
33 And, if one of the Levites should not redeem, then shall the sale of the house and the city of his possession go out in the jubilee; for, the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession, in the midst of the sons of Israel.
si redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel
34 But the field of the pasture-land of their cities, shall not be sold, —for an age-abiding possession, it is unto them.
suburbana autem eorum non venient quia possessio sempiterna est
35 And, when thy brother waxeth poor, and his hand becometh feeble with thee, then shalt thou strengthen him, as a sojourner and a settler, so shall he live with thee.
si adtenuatus fuerit frater tuus et infirmus manu et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum et vixerit tecum
36 Do not accept from him interest or profit, but stand thou in awe of thy God, —so shall thy brother live with thee.
ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti time Deum tuum ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te
37 Thy silver, shalt thou not give him on interest, —neither, for profit, shalt thou give him thy food.
pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram et frugum superabundantiam non exiges
38 I—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, —to give unto you the land of Canaan, to become your God,
ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut darem vobis terram Chanaan et essem vester Deus
39 And when thy brother waxeth poor with thee, and so selleth himself unto thee, thou shalt not bind him with the bondage of a bondman:
si paupertate conpulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus non eum opprimes servitute famulorum
40 as a hired servant, as a settler, shall he remain with thee, —until the year of the jubilee, shall he serve with thee:
sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te
41 then shall he go forth from thee, he and his sons with him, —and shall return unto his family, and unto the possession of his fathers, shall he return.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis et revertetur ad cognationem et ad possessionem patrum suorum
42 For, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt, —they shall not sell themselves with the sale of a bondman.
mei enim servi sunt et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti non venient condicione servorum
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour, —so shalt thou stand in awe of thy God.
ne adfligas eum per potentiam sed metuito Deum tuum
44 And as for thy bondman and thy bond-maid which thou shalt have, of the nations that are round about you—from them, may ye buy bondman and bond-maid.
servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quae in circuitu vestro sunt
45 Moreover also, of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you—of them, may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land, —so shall they become yours, as a possession;
et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra hos habebitis famulos
46 and ye may take them as an inheritance for your sons after you to inherit as a possession, unto times age-abiding, of them, may ye take to be bondmen, —but, over your brethren the sons of Israel—a man over his brother, ye shall not rule, over him with rigour.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum fratres autem vestros filios Israhel ne opprimatis per potentiam
47 And, when the hand of the sojourner and settler with thee getteth possessions, and thy brother with him, waxeth poor, —and so he selleth himself to the sojourner [who is] a settler with thee, or to one who hath taken root, of the family of the sojourner,
si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini et adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius
48 after that he hath sold himself, a right of redemption, pertaineth to him, —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, a near flesh-relation of his, of his family, may redeem him, or, his own hand may have gotten enough, and, so he may redeem himself.
et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et adfinis sin autem et ipse potuerit redimet se
50 Then shall he reckon with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, unto the year of the jubilee, —and the silver for which he was sold shall be by the number of years, according to the days of a hired servant, 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 is yet a multitude of years, according to them, shall he return, as his redemption price, of the silver of him that bought him.
si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iobeleum secundum hos reddet et pretium
52 Or, if [there is] but a small remainder of years, until the year of the jubilee, then shall he reckon to himself, according to the years thereof, shall he return his price of 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 over him with rigour, before thine eyes.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus inputatis non adfliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo
54 But if he be not redeemed in any of these ways, then shall he go out in the jubilee year, he, and his sons with him.
quod si per haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis
55 For, unto me, are the sons of Israel, bondmen, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I, Yahweh, am your God.
mei sunt enim servi filii Israhel quos eduxi de terra Aegypti
