Levítico 25
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés en el monte de Sinaí, diciendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra que yo os doy, la tierra hará sábado á Jehová.
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you come into the land that I give you, then the land must be made to keep a Sabbath for Yahweh.
3 Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y seis años podarás tu viña, y cogerás sus frutos;
You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.
4 Y el séptimo año la tierra tendrá sábado de holganza, sábado á Jehová: no sembrarás tu tierra, ni podarás tu viña.
But in the seventh year, a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land must be observed, a Sabbath for Yahweh. You must not plant your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Lo que de suyo se naciere en tu [tierra] segada, no lo segarás; y las uvas de tu viñedo no vendimiarás: año de holganza será á la tierra.
You must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grows by itself, and you must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grapes grow on your unpruned vines. This will be a year of solemn rest for the land.
6 Mas el sábado de la tierra os será para comer á ti, y á tu siervo, y á tu sierva, y á tu criado, y á tu extranjero que morare contigo:
Whatever the unworked land grows during the Sabbath year will be food for you. You, your male and female servants, your hired servants and the foreigners who live with you may gather food,
7 Y á tu animal, y á la bestia que hubiere en tu tierra, será todo el fruto de ella para comer.
and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.
8 Y te has de contar siete semanas de años, siete veces siete años; de modo que los días de las siete semanas de años vendrán á serte cuarenta y nueve años.
You must count off seven Sabbaths of years, that is, seven times seven years, so that there will be seven Sabbaths of years, totaling forty-nine years.
9 Entonces harás pasar la trompeta de jubilación en el mes séptimo á los diez del mes; el día de la expiación haréis pasar la trompeta por toda vuestra tierra.
Then you must blow a loud trumpet everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you must blow a trumpet throughout all your land.
10 Y santificaréis el año cincuenta, y pregonaréis libertad en la tierra á todos sus moradores: éste os será jubileo; y volveréis cada uno á su posesión, y cada cual volverá á su familia.
You must set apart the fiftieth year to Yahweh and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a Jubilee for you, in which property and slaves must be returned to their families.
11 El año de los cincuenta años os será jubileo: no sembraréis, ni segaréis lo que naciere de suyo en la tierra, ni vendimiaréis sus viñedos:
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. You must not plant or conduct an organized harvest. Eat whatever grows by itself, and gather the grapes that grow on the unpruned vines.
12 Porque es jubileo: santo será á vosotros; el producto de la tierra comeréis.
For it is a Jubilee, which will be holy for you. You must eat the produce that grows by itself out of the fields.
13 En este año de jubileo volveréis cada uno á su posesión.
You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.
14 Y cuando vendiereis algo á vuestro prójimo, ó comprareis de mano de vuestro prójimo, no engañe ninguno á su hermano:
If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong each other.
15 Conforme al número de los años después del jubileo comprarás de tu prójimo; conforme al número de los años de los frutos te venderá él á ti.
If you buy land from your neighbor, consider the number of years and crops that can be harvested until the next Jubilee. Your neighbor selling the land must consider that also.
16 Conforme á la multitud de los años aumentarás el precio, y conforme á la disminución de los años disminuirás el precio; porque según el número de los rendimientos te ha de vender él.
A larger number of years until the next Jubilee will increase the value of land, and a smaller number of years until the next Jubilee will decrease the value, because the number of harvests the land will produce for the new owner is related to the number of years before the next Jubilee.
17 Y no engañe ninguno á su prójimo; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios: porque yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
18 Ejecutad, pues, mis estatutos, y guardad mis derechos, y ponedlos por obra, y habitaréis en la tierra seguros;
Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.
19 Y la tierra dará su fruto, y comeréis hasta hartura, y habitaréis en ella con seguridad.
The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.
20 Y si dijereis: ¿Qué comeremos el séptimo año? he aquí no hemos de sembrar, ni hemos de coger nuestros frutos:
You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”
21 Entonces yo os enviaré mi bendición el sexto año, y hará fruto por tres años.
I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.
22 Y sembraréis el año octavo, y comeréis del fruto añejo; hasta el año noveno, hasta que venga su fruto comeréis del añejo.
You will plant in the eighth year and continue to eat from the previous years' produce and the stored food. Until the harvest of the ninth year comes in, you will be able to eat from the provisions stored in the previous years.
23 Y la tierra no se venderá rematadamente, porque la tierra mía es; que vosotros peregrinos y extranjeros sois para conmigo.
The land must not be sold to a new permanent owner, because the land is mine. You are all foreigners and temporary residents on my land.
24 Por tanto, en toda la tierra de vuestra posesión, otorgaréis redención á la tierra.
You must observe the right of redemption for all the land that you acquire; you must allow the land to be bought back by the family from whom you bought it.
25 Cuando tu hermano empobreciere, y vendiere algo de su posesión, vendrá el rescatador, su cercano, y rescatará lo que su hermano hubiere vendido.
If your fellow Israelite became poor and for that reason sold some of his property, then his nearest relative may come and buy back the property that he sold to you.
26 Y cuando el hombre no tuviere rescatador, si alcanzare su mano, y hallare lo que basta para su rescate;
If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,
27 Entonces contará los años de su venta, y pagará lo que quedare al varón á quien vendió, y volverá á su posesión.
then he may calculate the years since the land was sold and repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it. Then he may return to his own property.
28 Mas si no alcanzare su mano lo que basta para que vuelva á él, lo que vendió estará en poder del que lo compró hasta el año del jubileo; y al jubileo saldrá, y él volverá á su posesión.
But if he is not able to get the land back for himself, then the land he has sold will remain in the ownership of the one who bought it until the year of Jubilee. At the year of Jubilee, the land will be returned to the man who sold it, and the original owner will return to his property.
29 Y el varón que vendiere casa de morada en ciudad cercada, tendrá facultad de redimirla hasta acabarse el año de su venta: un año será el término de poderse redimir.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may buy it back within a whole year after it was sold. For a full year he will have the right of redemption.
30 Y si no fuere redimida dentro de un año entero, la casa que estuviere en la ciudad murada quedará para siempre por de aquel que la compró, [y] para sus descendientes: no saldrá en el jubileo.
If the house is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city will become the permanent property of the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the year of Jubilee.
31 Mas las casas de las aldeas que no tienen muro alrededor, serán estimadas como una haza de tierra: tendrán redención, y saldrán en el jubileo.
But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them will be considered as the field of the land. They may be redeemed, and they must be returned during the year of Jubilee.
32 Pero en cuanto á las ciudades de los Levitas, siempre podrán redimir los Levitas las casas de las ciudades que poseyeren.
However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed at any time.
33 Y el que comprare de los Levitas, saldrá de la casa vendida, ó de la ciudad de su posesión, en el jubileo: por cuanto las casas de las ciudades de los Levitas es la posesión de ellos entre los hijos de Israel.
If one of the Levites does not redeem a house he sold, then the house that was sold in the city where it is located must be returned in the year of Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their property among the people of Israel.
34 Mas la tierra del ejido de sus ciudades no se venderá, porque es perpetua posesión de ellos.
But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.
35 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, y se acogiere á ti, tú lo ampararás: como peregrino y extranjero vivirá contigo.
If your fellow countryman becomes poor, so that he can no longer provide for himself, then you must help him as you would help a foreigner or anyone else living as an outsider among you.
36 No tomarás usura de él, ni aumento; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios, y tu hermano vivirá contigo.
Do not charge him interest or try to profit from him in any way, but honor your God so that your brother may keep living with you.
37 No le darás tu dinero á usura, ni tu vitualla á ganancia:
You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.
38 Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, in order that I might give you the land of Canaan, and that I might be your God.
39 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, estando contigo, y se vendiere á ti, no le harás servir como siervo:
If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.
40 Como criado, como extranjero estará contigo; hasta el año del jubileo te servirá.
Treat him as a hired servant. He must be like someone living temporarily with you. He will serve with you until the year of Jubilee.
41 Entonces saldrá de contigo, él y sus hijos consigo, y volverá á su familia, y á la posesión de sus padres se restituirá.
Then he will go away from you, he and his children with him, and he will return to his own family and to his fathers' property.
42 Porque son mis siervos, los cuales saqué yo de la tierra de Egipto: no serán vendidos á manera de siervos.
For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.
43 No te enseñorearás de él con dureza, mas tendrás temor de tu Dios.
You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.
44 Así tu siervo como tu sierva que tuvieres, serán de las gentes que están en vuestro alrededor: de ellos compraréis siervos y siervas.
As for your male and female slaves, whom you can obtain from the nations who live around you, you may buy slaves from them.
45 También compraréis de los hijos de los forasteros que viven entre vosotros, y de los que del linaje de ellos son nacidos en vuestra tierra, que están con vosotros; los cuales tendréis por posesión:
You may also buy slaves from the foreigners who are living among you, that is, from their families who are with you, children who have been born in your land. They may become your property.
46 Y los poseeréis por juro de heredad para vuestros hijos después de vosotros, como posesión hereditaria; para siempre os serviréis de ellos; empero en vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel, no os enseñorearéis cada uno sobre su hermano con dureza.
You may provide such slaves as an inheritance for your children after you, to hold as property, and make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your brothers among the people of Israel with harshness.
47 Y si el peregrino ó extranjero que está contigo, adquiriese medios, y tu hermano que está con él empobreciere, y se vendiere al peregrino ó extranjero que está contigo, ó á la raza de la familia del extranjero;
If a foreigner or someone living temporarily with you has become wealthy, and if one of your fellow Israelites has become poor and sells himself to that foreigner, or to someone in a foreigner's family,
48 Después que se hubiere vendido, podrá ser rescatado: uno de sus hermanos lo rescatará;
after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family may redeem him.
49 O su tío, ó el hijo de su tío lo rescatará, ó el cercano de su carne, de su linaje, lo rescatará; ó si sus medios alcanzaren, él mismo se redimirá.
It might be the person's uncle, or his uncle's son, who redeems him, or anyone who is his close relative from his family. Or, if he has become prosperous, he may redeem himself.
50 Y contará con el que lo compró, desde el año que se vendió á él hasta el año del jubileo: y ha de apreciarse el dinero de su venta conforme al número de los años, y se hará con él conforme al tiempo de un criado asalariado.
He must bargain with the man who bought him; they must count the years from the year he sold himself to his purchaser until the year of Jubilee. The price of his redemption must be figured in keeping with the rate paid to a hired servant, for the number of years he might continue to work for the one who bought him.
51 Si aun fueren muchos años, conforme á ellos volverá para su rescate del dinero por el cual se vendió.
If there are still many years until the year of Jubilee, he must pay back as the price for his redemption an amount of money that is in proportion to the number of those years.
52 Y si quedare poco tiempo hasta el año del jubileo, entonces contará con él, y devolverá su rescate conforme á sus años.
If there are only a few years to the year of Jubilee, then he must bargain with his purchaser to reflect the number of years left before the year of Jubilee, and he must pay for his redemption in keeping with the number of years.
53 Como con tomado á salario anualmente hará con él: no se enseñoreará en él con aspereza delante de tus ojos.
He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.
54 Mas si no se redimiere en esos [años], en el año del jubileo saldrá, él, y sus hijos con él.
If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
55 Porque mis siervos son los hijos de Israel; son siervos míos, á los cuales saqué de la tierra de Egipto: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
To me the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
