Leviticus 25
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses fin eol Sinai ac sap elan
Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel. “Pacl se kowos utyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El ac sot nu suwos, kowos fah akfulatye LEUM GOD ke kowos tia yoki facl sac ke yac akitkosr nukewa.
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
3 Kowos fah yukwi ima lowos, aknasnasye lah ke grape sunowos, ac kosrani fahko kac ke yac onkosr.
For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
4 Tusruktu yac se akitkosr ac fah yac in na mongla se nu ke facl sac, sie yac su kisayang nu sin LEUM GOD. Nimet kowos yukwi ima lowos ku aknasnasye lah in grape sunowos an.
But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Kowos fah tia pacna kosrani wheat ma sifacna kapak, ac tia sifani fahko ke grape sunowos ma kowos tia aknasnasye ah. Yac in na mongla se lun acn nukewa in facl sac pa inge.
You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
6 Acn uh finne tia imaiyuk ke pulan yac sacn, ac srakna ku in asot mwe mongo nowos ac nun mwet foko lowos, ac mwet kowos moli in orekma lowos, ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos,
Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
7 oayapa kosro muna nutuwos, ac kosro lemnak su muta inimae. Ma nukewa ma kap ke facl sac fah ku in mongo.
and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
8 “Oakla yac itkosr pacl itkosr, pa toeni orala yac angngaul eu.
And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
9 Na in len se aksingoul ke malem se akitkosr, su Len in Eela Ma Koluk, kowos supwala sie mwet in ukya sie mwe ukuk ke el fahsr sasla fin acn sac nufon.
Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.
10 In ouiya se inge kowos fah srela yac se aklumngaul, ac sulkakin mu ac sie pacl in sukosok nu sin mwet nukewa su muta in fahl sac. Ke yac se inge acn nukewa su tuh kukakinyukla fah folokyang nu sin mwet su la acn inge meet, ku nu sin fwil natul, ac kutena mwet su tuh kukakinyukla in mwet kohs, fah folokla nu yurin sou lal.
So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.
11 Kowos fah tia yukwi ima lowos, ku telani fahko ma sifacna kapak, ku sifani fahko ke ima in grape lowos ma tia kifwiyukla.
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
12 Yac nufon sac ac fah mutal nu suwos; kowos fah mongo na ke ma sifacna kapak in ima lowos.
For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
13 “Ke yac se inge acn nukewa ma kukakinyukla fah folokyang nu sin mwet la meet ah.
In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
14 Ke ma inge, kowos fin kukakin acn lowos nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, ku moul acn selos, nik kowos orek inkanek kutasrik.
If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
15 Molin acn sacn ac fah oakwuk fal nu ke pisen yac ma acn sacn ac ku in oswe fahko meet liki Yac in Folokyang se tok ah.
You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
16 Fin ac yac pus, molo an enenu in yohk, ac fin yac na pu, na molo an enenu in srik, mweyen ma ac kukakinyukla uh ac wiwi pisa ku lupan fahko ma ac tuku ke acn sac.
You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.
17 Nimet orek kutasrik nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD lowos.
Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
18 “Akos ma sap ac ma oakwuk nukewa lun LEUM GOD, tuh kowos fah ku in muta in misla fin facl se inge.
You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
19 Facl se inge ac fah isus fahko, ac kowos fah mutana in mut ac wangin fosrnga lowos.
Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
20 “Tusruktu, sahp ac oasr mwet fah siyuk lah mea ac mongo ke yac se akitkosr, ke wangin ma ac yoki ac wangin fahko sifeyukyak.
Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
21 LEUM GOD El ac fah akinsewowoye acn uh ke yac se akonkosr, tuh ima lowos fah oswe mwe mongo ma ac fal nu ke yac tolu.
But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
22 Ke kowos yukwi ima lowos ke yac se akoalkosr, kowos ac srakna kang mwe mongo ma lula ke ma kowos sifani ke yac se akonkosr ah, su ac fal nu suwos in mongo kac nwe ke kowos kosrani ma kowos yukwi ke yac sacn.
While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
23 “Acn lowos fah tiana kukakinyukla in tuh lun sie mwet nwe tok, mweyen tia ma lowos — ma lun God, ac kowos oana mwetsac su ma filfilyang in orekmakin acn uh.
The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
24 “Ke pacl se kukakinyukla sie acn uh, enenu in akilenyuk lah oasr suwohs lun mwet se ma la acn sac meet in sifilpa molela.
Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25 Fin sie mwet Israel sukasrupla tuh pwanang elan kukakunla acn lal uh, ac enenu in mwet se ma fototo oemeet nu sel in sou lal pa in molela uh.
If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
26 Mwet se ma wangin sou lal in sifil moli acn sac, sahp ac tok oasri ma lal ac el ku in sifacna sifilpa molela.
Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
27 Fin ouinge, el enenu in moli nu sin mwet se ma tuh molela acn sac ke sie lupa ma ac fal nu ke lusen pacl lula nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, mweyen pa inge pacl se acn sac ac nuna folokyang nu sel.
he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
28 Tusruktu fin tia fal lupan mani yorol in sifil molela acn sac, na ac oanna ye karinginyuk lun mwet se ma molela sel ah nwe ke sun Yac in Folokyang se tok uh. Ke pacl sacn ac fah folokyang nu sin mwet se la acn sac meet ah.
But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.
29 “Sie mwet fin kukakin lohm sel in sie siti ma kalkalak, oasr suwohs lal in sifilpa molela ke yac fon se tukun len se kukala uh.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
30 Tusruktu el fin tia sifilpa molela ke yac sac, ac wanginla suwohs lal in sifil moli, na lohm sac ac ma lac sin mwet se ma molela uh, ku fwil natul nwe tok. Na ac fah tia folokyang nu sin mwet se meet ah ke Yac in Folokyang sac.
If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
31 Tusruktu lohm ma oan ke inkul ma tia kalkalak uh ac fah orek oana ima uh — mwet se ma la na pwaye meet ah, oasr suwohs lal in sifil molela, ac enenu in folokyang nu sel ke Yac in Folokyang.
But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Tusruktu, oasr suwohs lun mwet Levi in sifil molela lohm selos ke siti ma srisrngiyuki elos in muta we, ke kutena pacl.
As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
33 Fin sie lohm in siti inge tuh kukakinyukla sin sie mwet Levi ac el tia sifil molela, na ac enenu in folokyang nu sel ke Yac in Folokyang sac, mweyen lohm sin mwet Levi ma oan in siti selos uh ac ma na selos nwe tok.
So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
34 Tusruktu acn in ima ma oan raunla siti lun mwet Levi, ac fah tiana kukakinyuk. Acn inge ma na selos nwe tok.
But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
35 “Sie mwet Israel wiom su muta apkuran nu yurum fin sukasrupla ac tia ku in konauk inkanek in kasru nu sel, kom fah sang kasru nu sel oana ke kom oru nu sin mwet su kom moli in orekma lom, tuh el fah ku in mutana apkuran nu yurum.
Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
36 Nik kom eis kutena ma laesla sel, a akos God, ac lela mwet Israel wiom in mutana apkuran nu yurum.
Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
37 Nimet kom oru elan moli ma ac laesla lupan mani ma kom kasrel kac, ac nimet orek kapak ke mwe mongo ma kom kukakin nu sel.
You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
38 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, El su uskowosme liki facl Egypt in tuh sot facl Canaan lowos, ac in tuh God lowos.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 “Sie sin mwet Israel wiom su muta apkuran nu yurum fin sukasrupla ac sifacna kukakunulot nu sum oana sie mwet foko, kom fah tia sang elan oru orekma lun sie mwet kohs.
If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
40 El fah muta yurum oana sie mwet kom moli nu se, ac kulansap nu sum nwe ke sun Yac in Folokyang se tok uh.
Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 In pacl sac, el ac tulik natul fah som liki kom, ac folokla nu yurin sou lal ac nu ke acn sin mwet matu lal su somla.
Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
42 Mwet Israel elos mwet kohs nu sin LEUM GOD, ac El usalosme liki facl Egypt. Elos fah tia kukakinyuk nu ke mwet kohs.
Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
43 Nimet kom oru upa nu selos, a kom in akos God lom.
You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
44 Kom fin enenu mwet foko, kom ku in moli sin mutanfahl ma raunikomla.
Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
45 Kom ku pac in moli tulik nutin mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos. Tulik inge ma isusla in facl suwos elos ku in ma lowosla,
You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
46 ac kom ku in eisalosyang in mwe usru nu sin tulik mukul nutum, su elos ac kulansupu ke lusen moul lalos nufon. A kom fah tiana oru in upa nu sin kutena mwet Israel wiom.
You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.
47 “Fin fahsr nwe sie mwetsac su muta yurum el ekla sie mwet kasrup, ac sie mwet Israel wiom el sukasrupla ac sifacna kukakunulang tuh elan mwet foko nu sin mwetsac sac, ku nu sin sou lun mwetsac sac,
If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,
48 srakna oasr suwohs lun mwet Israel sac in sifilpa moliyukla el tukun kukala el uh. Sie sin tamulel lal,
he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
49 ku mukul wien papa ku nina kial, ku mwet nutin tamulel ku tamtael lun papa ku nina kial, ku sie pacna su sou fototo lal, ku in sifil molella. Ku el sifacna, fin oasri mani lal ma ac fal in molella, el ku in sifacna molella elan sukosokla.
either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
50 El enenu in aetuila nu sin mwet se ma molella ah, ac eltal fah oakla pisen yac ma el kukakunulla sifacna kac me nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, ac oaki molin sukosokla lal fal nu ke lupan moul ma orekmakinyuk nu sin mwet ma orekma ac moul nu se.
He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.
51 “Fin srakna pus yac lula uh, molin sukosokla lal uh ac fah oekyuk fal nu ke pisen yac lula, na pisa se inge ac fah folokinyuk nu sin mwet se ma molella ah.
If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
52 A fin yac na pu pa lula nu ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh, el fah akfalye molin sukosokla lal uh fal nu ke molin yac lula inge,
If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
53 oana ke el fin orekma ac moul nu sel ke oakwuk lun molin yac. Leum se ma el orekma nu se uh fah tia oru in upala nu sel.
He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
54 El fin tiana aksukosokyeyukla ke kutena sin ouiya inge, na el, ac tulik natul, fah aksukosokyeyukla ke Yac in Folokyang se tok uh.
Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
55 Sie mwet Israel tia ku in orekma in mwet kohs nwe tok, mweyen mwet Israel elos mwet kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD. El usalosme liki facl Egypt. El pa LEUM GOD lalos.”
For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
