Leviticus 25
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses fin eol Sinai ac sap elan
And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
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 children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.
3 Kowos fah yukwi ima lowos, aknasnasye lah ke grape sunowos, ac kosrani fahko kac ke yac onkosr.
Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:
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 to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy 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.
What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to the land:
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,
But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:
7 oayapa kosro muna nutuwos, ac kosro lemnak su muta inimae. Ma nukewa ma kap ke facl sac fah ku in mongo.
All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
8 “Oakla yac itkosr pacl itkosr, pa toeni orala yac angngaul eu.
Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make 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.
And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all 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.
And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
11 Kowos fah tia yukwi ima lowos, ku telani fahko ma sifacna kapak, ku sifani fahko ke ima in grape lowos ma tia kifwiyukla.
Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
12 Yac nufon sac ac fah mutal nu suwos; kowos fah mongo na ke ma sifacna kapak in ima lowos.
Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
13 “Ke yac se inge acn nukewa ma kukakinyukla fah folokyang nu sin mwet la meet ah.
In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
14 Ke ma inge, kowos fin kukakin acn lowos nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, ku moul acn selos, nik kowos orek inkanek kutasrik.
When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
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.
And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
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.
The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
17 Nimet orek kutasrik nu sin mwet Israel wiowos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD lowos.
Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because 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.
Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,
19 Facl se inge ac fah isus fahko, ac kowos fah mutana in mut ac wangin fosrnga lowos.
And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.
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.
But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
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.
I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of 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.
And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.
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 also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners 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.
For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
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 thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had 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.
But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
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.
The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.
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 his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.
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.
He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:
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 he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even 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 if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.
32 Tusruktu, oasr suwohs lun mwet Levi in sifil molela lohm selos ke siti ma srisrngiyuki elos in muta we, ke kutena pacl.
The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:
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.
If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.
34 Tusruktu acn in ima ma oan raunla siti lun mwet Levi, ac fah tiana kukakinyuk. Acn inge ma na selos nwe tok.
But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual 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.
If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,
36 Nik kom eis kutena ma laesla sel, a akos God, ac lela mwet Israel wiom in mutana apkuran nu yurum.
Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
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.
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
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, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might 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 thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
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.
But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the 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.
And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession 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.
For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
43 Nimet kom oru upa nu selos, a kom in akos God lom.
Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
44 Kom fin enenu mwet foko, kom ku in moli sin mutanfahl ma raunikomla.
Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
45 Kom ku pac in moli tulik nutin mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos. Tulik inge ma isusla in facl suwos elos ku in ma lowosla,
And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
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.
And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
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 the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
48 srakna oasr suwohs lun mwet Israel sac in sifilpa moliyukla el tukun kukala el uh. Sie sin tamulel lal,
After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall 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 his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall 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.
Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,
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 there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the 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 few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the 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.
His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy 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.
And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
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 children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
