لاويّين 25
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ: | ١ 1 |
The Lord told Moses on Mount Sinai,
| «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: مَتَى جِئْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَهَبُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لَا تَزْرَعُوهَا فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ. | ٢ 2 |
“Tell the Israelites: When you enter the land that I'm giving you, the land itself must also observe a Sabbath rest in honor of the Lord.
| ازْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَقَلِّمْ كَرْمَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَاجْمَعْ غَلَّتَهُمَا. | ٣ 3 |
Six years you can cultivate your fields, take care of your vineyards, and harvest your crops.
| وَأَمَّا السَّنَةُ السَّابِعَةُ فَفِيهَا تُرِيحُ الأَرْضَ وَتُعَطِّلُهَا سَبْتاً لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تَزْرَعْ فِيهَا حَقْلَكَ وَلا تُقَلِّمْ كَرْمَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
But the seventh year is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land, a Sabbath in honor of the Lord. Don't plant your fields or care for your vineyards.
| لَا تَحْصُدْ زَرْعَكَ الَّذِي نَمَا بِنَفْسِهِ، وَلا تَقْطِفْ عِنَبَ كَرْمِكَ الْمُحْوِلِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ سَنَةَ رَاحَةٍ لِلأَرْضِ. | ٥ 5 |
Don't harvest what may have grown up in your fields, or collect the grapes from your vineyards that you haven't cared for. The land is to have a year of complete rest.
| وَمَا تُغِلُّهُ الأَرْضُ فِي سَنَةِ الرَّاحَةِ يَكُونُ طَعَاماً لَكَ وَلِعَبْدِكَ وَأَمَتِكَ وَأَجِيرِكَ وَالْمُسْتَوْطِنِ النَّازِلِ عِنْدَكَ، | ٦ 6 |
You can eat whatever the land produces during the Sabbath year. This applies to yourself, your male and female slaves, paid workers and foreigners who live with you,
| وَكَذَلِكَ تَكُونُ كُلُّ غَلَّتِهَا طَعَاماً لِلْبَهَائِمِ وَلِلْحَيَوَانِ الرَّاعِي فِيهَا. | ٧ 7 |
and to your livestock and the wild animals living in your land. Whatever grows can be used for food.
| وَبَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ تِسْعٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، أَيْ بَعْدَ سَبْعِ سُبُوتٍ مِنَ السِّنِينَ، | ٨ 8 |
Count seven ‘sabbaths’ of years, in other words, seven times seven years, so that the seven sabbaths of years come to forty-nine years.
| فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ، مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً عِبْرِيَّةً، تَنْفُخُونَ بُوقَ الْهُتَافِ فِي يَوْمِ الْكَفَّارَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِكُمْ، | ٩ 9 |
Then blow the trumpet all through the country on the tenth day of the seventh month, which is the Day of Atonement. Make sure this signal is heard throughout your whole country.
| وَتُقَدِّسُونَ السَّنَةَ الْخَمْسِينَ وَتُعْلِنُونَ فِيهَا الْعِتْقَ لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِهَا، فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ يُوبِيلاً، وَتَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
You are to dedicate the fiftieth year and announce freedom everywhere in the country for all who live there. This is to be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to reclaim your property and to be part of your family once more.
| وَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ السَّنَةُ الْخَمْسُونَ هَذِهِ يُوبِيلاً، لَا تَزْرَعُوا فِيهَا وَلا تَحْصُدُوا غَلَّتَهَا وَلا تَقْطِفُوا كَرْمَهَا الْمُحْوِلَ. | ١١ 11 |
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. Don't sow the land; don't harvest what may have grown up in your fields, or collect the grapes from your vineyards that you haven't cared for.
| إِنَّهَا يُوبِيلٌ، سَنَةٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ لَكُمْ. لَا تَأْكُلُوا إِلّا مَا يُجْنَى مُبَاشَرَةً مِنَ الْحَقْلِ. | ١٢ 12 |
It is a Jubilee and it is to be holy to you. You can eat whatever the land produces.
| وَفِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ هَذِهِ يَرْتَدُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
In this Jubilee Year, every one of you shall return to your own property.
| فَإِنْ بِعْتَ مُوَاطِنَكَ، أَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ مِنْهُ، فَلا تَظْلِمْهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
If you sell land to your neighbor, or buy land from him, don't exploit one another.
| يَكُونُ شِرَاؤُكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ وَفْقاً لِعَدَدِ السِّنِينَ بَعْدَ الْيُوبِيلِ، وَبَيْعُهُ لَكَ يَكُونُ بِنَاءً عَلَى سِنِي الْغَلَّةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
When you buy from your neighbor work out how many years have passed since the last Jubilee, for he is to sell to you depending on how many years of harvest remain.
| فَكُلَّمَا كَثُرَتِ السِّنُونَ تَزِيدُ قِيمَتُهُ، وَكُلَّمَا قَلَّتِ السِّنُونَ يَنْخَفِضُ ثَمَنُهُ، لأَنَّهُ يَبِيعُكَ بِنَاءً عَلَى عَدَدِ الْغَلّاتِ، | ١٦ 16 |
The more years that are left, the more you shall pay; the fewer years that are left, the less you shall pay, because he is actually selling you a specific number of harvests.
| فَلا يَظْلِمَنَّ أَحَدٌ صَاحِبَهُ، بَلِ اتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Don't exploit one another, but have respect for your God, because I am the Lord your God.
| فَاعْمَلُوا بِفَرَائِضِي وَرَاعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَمَارِسُوهَا، لِتَسْكُنُوا فِي الأَرْضِ آمِنِينَ، | ١٨ 18 |
Keep my rules and observe my regulations, so you can live in safety in the land.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَغِلُّ الأَرْضُ ثَمَرَهَا، فَتَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْبَعُونَ وَتَسْكُنُونَ عَلَيْهَا آمِنِينَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then the land will produce good harvest, so you will have plenty to eat and live in safety there.
| وَإِنْ قُلْتُمْ: مَاذَا نَأْكُلُ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ إِنْ لَمْ نَزْرَعْ وَلَمْ نَجْمَعْ غَلَّتَنَا؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
But if you ask, ‘What are we going to in the seventh year if we do not sow or harvest our crops?’
| هَا أَنَا آمُرُ بِبَرَكَتِي لَكُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ فَتُغِلُّ لِثَلاثِ سِنِينَ، | ٢١ 21 |
I will bless you in the sixth year, so that the land will produce a crop that will be enough for three years.
| فَتَزْرَعُونَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ وَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ الْقَدِيمَةِ إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ حَصِيدُ مَوْسِمِ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
As you sow in the eighth year, you will still be eating from that harvest, which will last until your harvest in the ninth year.
| أَمَّا الأَرْضُ فَلا تُبَاعُ مُطْلَقاً لأَنَّ لِي الأَرْضَ، وَأَنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلاءُ عِنْدِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
Land must not be permanently sold, because it really belongs to me. To me you are only foreigners and travelers passing through.
| بَلْ فِي كُلِّ عَقْدِ بَيْعٍ تَضَعُونَ شَرْطَ فِكَاكٍ لِلأَرْضِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So whatever land you buy to own, you must make arrangements so it can be returned to its original owner.
| وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ مُوَاطِنُكَ وَبَاعَ بَعْضَ مُلْكِهِ فَلْيَأْتِ أَقْرَبُ أَقْرِبَائِهِ وَيَفُكَّ مَبِيعَ قَرِيبِهِ | ٢٥ 25 |
If one of your people becomes poor and sells you some of their land, their close family can come and buy back what they have sold.
| وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرِيبٌ، وَاسْتَطَاعَ الْحُصُولَ عَلَى مِقْدَارٍ كَافٍ مِنَ الْمَالِ لِفَكِّ الْبَيْعِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
However, if they don't have anyone who can buy it back, but in the meantime their financial situation improves and they have enough to buy back the land,
| فَلْيَحْسُبْ عَدَدَ السَّنَوَاتِ الَّتِي انْقَضَتْ عَلَى الْمَبِيعِ، وَمَا هُوَ مُتَبَقٍّ مِنْهَا حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، فَيَدْفَعَ لِلْمُشْتَرِي مَا يُعَادِلُ غِلَالَ السَّنَوَاتِ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةِ، وَيَسْتَرِدَّ مُلْكَهُ | ٢٧ 27 |
they will work how many years it has been since the sale, and pay back the balance to the person who bought it, and go back to their property
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَافَرْ لَدَيْهِ الْمَالُ لاِسْتِرْدَادِ مَبِيعِهِ مِنْ يَدِ الشَّارِي، فَلْيَنْتَظِرْ حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ لِيَسْتَرِدَّ مُلْكَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
If they can't raise enough to pay the person back for the land, the buyer will remain its owner until the Jubilee Year. But in the Jubilee the land will be returned so that the original owner can so that they can go back to their property.
| وَإذَا بَاعَ إِنْسَانٌ بَيْتاً لِلسُّكْنَى فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُسَوَّرَةٍ يَحِقُّ اسْتِرْدَادُهُ فِي خِلالِ سَنَةٍ مِنْ بَيْعِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
If someone sells a house located in a walled town, they have the right to buy it back for a full year after selling it. It can be bought back any time during that year.
| وَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْ فِكَاكِهِ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ سَنَةٍ، يُصْبِحُ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ مِنْ حَقِّ شَارِيهِ وَنَسْلِهِ لَا يُرَدُّ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
If it isn't bought back be the end of a full year, then ownership of the house in the walled town is permanently transferred to the one who bought it and their descendants. It won't be returned in the Jubilee.
| أَمَّا الْبُيُوتُ الْمَبِيعَةُ فِي الْقُرَى غَيْرِ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ فَإِنَّهَا تُعَامَلُ مُعَامَلَةَ الْحُقُولِ الزِّرَاعِيَّةِ، قَابِلَةٌ لِلْفِكَاكِ وَالاسْتِرْدَادِ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ. | ٣١ 31 |
But houses in villages that don't have walls around them are to be treated as located in the fields. They can be bought back, and will be returned in the Jubilee.
| أَمَّا بُيُوتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْقَائِمَةُ فِي مُدُنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ، فَإِنَّ لِلّاوِيِّينَ حَقَّ اسْتِرْدَادِهَا دَائِماً، | ٣٢ 32 |
However, the Levites always have the right to buy back their houses in the towns that belong to them.
| فَبُيُوتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ قَابِلَةٌ لِلْفِكَاكِ وَتُسْتَرَدُّ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، لأَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ هِيَ مُلْكُهُمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Whatever the Levites own can be bought back, even houses sold in their towns, and must be returned in the Jubilee. That's because the houses in the towns of the Levites are what they were given to own as their share among the Israelites.
| أَمَّا الْمَزَارِعُ الْمُحِيطَةُ بِمُدُنِهِمْ فَلا تُبَاعُ، لأَنَّهَا مُلْكٌ أَبَدِيٌّ لَهُمْ. | ٣٤ 34 |
However, the fields surrounding their towns must not be sold because they belong to the Levites permanently.
| وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَعَجَزَ عَنْ إِعَالَةِ نَفْسِهِ فِي وَسَطِكَ، فَأَعِنْهُ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ غَرِيباً أَوْ مُوَاطِناً، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ مَعَكَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
If any of your people become poor and can't survive, you must help them in the same way you would help a foreigner or a stranger, so that they can go on living in your neighborhood.
| اِتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ وَلا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ رِباً وَلا رِبْحاً، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ فِي وَسَطِكَ | ٣٦ 36 |
Don't make them pay you any interest or demand more than they borrowed, but respect your God so that they can remain living in your area.
| لَا تُقْرِضْهُ فِضَّتَكَ بِرِباً، وَلا تَبِعْهُ طَعَامَكَ بِرِبْحٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Don't lend them silver with interest or sell them food at an inflated price.
| أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لِيَهَبَكُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، فَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً. | ٣٨ 38 |
Remember, I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
| وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَبِيعَ لَكَ عَبْداً، فَلا تُعَامِلْهُ كَعَبْدٍ، | ٣٩ 39 |
If any of your people become poor and have to sell themselves to work for you, don't force them to work as a slave.
| بَلْ لِيَكُنْ عِنْدَكَ كَأَجِيرٍ أَوْ نَزِيلٍ، فَيَخْدُمَكَ حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، | ٤٠ 40 |
Have them live with you like a paid worker who is staying with you for a while. They are to work for you until the Jubilee Year.
| ثُمَّ تَعْتِقُهُ هُوَ وَأَوْلادَهُ، وَيَعُودُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُلْكِ آبَائِهِ، | ٤١ 41 |
Then they and their children must be freed, and they can go back to their family and to their family's property.
| لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، لَا يُبَاعُونَ كَالْعَبِيدِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Israelites are not to be sold as slaves because they belong to me as my slaves—I led them out of Egypt.
| لَا تَطْغَ بِتَسَلُّطِكَ، بَلِ اتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ، | ٤٣ 43 |
Don't treat them with brutality. Have respect for your God.
| وَلْيَكُنْ عَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ، مِنْهَا تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً، | ٤٤ 44 |
Buy your male and female slaves from the surrounding nations.
| وَكَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ النَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكُمْ، فَمِنْهُمْ وَمِنْ عَشَائِرهِمْ، الَّذِينَ عِنْدَكُمُ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ. | ٤٥ 45 |
You can also buy them from foreigners who have come to live among you, or from their descendants born in your land. You can treat them as your property.
| وَتُوَرِّثُونَهُمْ لِبَنِيكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ مِيرَاثَ مُلْكٍ، فَيَكُونُونَ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُكُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا تَطْغَوْا بِتَسَلُّطِكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
You can pass them on to your children to inherit as property after you die. You can make them slaves for life, but you must not brutally treat any of your own people, the Israelites, as a slave.
| وَإذَا اغْتَنَى غَرِيبٌ أَوْ نَزِيلٌ مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَافْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فَبِيعَ لِلْغَرِيبِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِ عِنْدَكَ، أَوْ لِنَسْلِ عَشِيرَتِهِ، | ٤٧ 47 |
If a foreigner among you becomes successful, and one of your people living nearby becomes poor and sells themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner's family,
| فَلْيَفُكَّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَقْرِبَائِهِ بَعْدَ بَيْعِهِ، لأَنَّهُ يَمْلِكُ حَقَّ الانْعِتَاقِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
they still have the right of being bought back after the sale. A member of their family can buy them back—
| أَوْ يَفُكَّهُ عَمُّهُ أَوِ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ أَوْ أَحَدُ أَقْرِبَائِهِ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ عَشِيرَتِهِ، أَوْ يَسْتَرِدَّ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ حُرِّيَّتَهُ إِذَا حَصَلَ عَلَى مَا يَكْفِي مِنْ مَالٍ، | ٤٩ 49 |
an uncle or cousin or any close relative from their family can buy them back. If they become successful, they can buy themselves back.
| فَيَتَحَاسَبُ مَعَ شَارِيهِ مُنْذُ سَنَةِ بَيْعِهِ حَتَّى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، فَيَكُونُ ثَمَنُ عِتْقِهِ وَفْقاً لِمَا يُدْفَعُ لأَجِيرٍ، لِذَلِكَ الْعَدَدِ مِنَ السَّنَوَاتِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
The person concerned and their buyer will work out the time from the year of the sale up to the Jubilee Year. The price will depend on the number of years, calculated using the daily rate for a paid worker.
| وَإذَا كَانَتِ السَّنَوَاتُ الْبَاقِيَةُ حَتَّى حُلُولِ الْيُوبِيلِ كَثِيرَةً، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ نِسْبَةً أَكْبَرَ مِنْ أَصْلِ الثَّمَنِ الَّذِي دُفِعَ فِي شِرَائِهِ، اِسْتِرْدَاداً لِحُرِّيَّتِهِ. | ٥١ 51 |
If there are many years left, they must pay a larger percentage of the purchase price.
| وَإِنْ كَانَتِ السَّنَوَاتُ الْبَاقِيَةُ حَتَّى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ قَلِيلَةً، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحْسُبَ عَدَدَ السَّنَوَاتِ وَيَدْفَعَ وَفْقَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ فِكَاكِهِ. | ٥٢ 52 |
If there are only a few years remaining before the Jubilee Year, then they only have to pay a percentage depending on the number of years still left.
| وَعَلَى الأَجْنَبِيِّ أَنْ يُعَامِلَهُ كَأَجِيرٍ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ، وَلا يَقْسُوَ عَلَيْهِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
They are to live with their foreign owner just like a paid worker, hired from year to year, but see to it that the owner doesn't treat him brutally.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يُوْجَدْ سَبِيلٌ لِفِكَاكِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُعْتَقُ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ مَعَهُ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ. | ٥٤ 54 |
If they are not bought back in any of the ways described, they and their children shall be freed in the Jubilee Year.
| لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي عَبِيدٌ. هُمْ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٥٥ 55 |
For the Israelites belong to me as my slaves. They are my slaves—I led them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
