Levitiko 25

1 Yehova anawuza Mose pa phiri la Sinai kuti,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, in Mount Sinai, saying,

2 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Mukadzalowa mʼdziko limene ndikukupatsani, nthakayo iyenera kumakasunga Sabata la Yehova.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, then the land has kept a Sabbath to YHWH.

3 Pa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muzikalima minda yanu, ndipo kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muzikasadza mitengo yanu ya mpesa ndi kuthyola zipatso zake.

[For] six years you sow your field, and [for] six years you prune your vineyard, and have gathered its increase,

4 Koma chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi chaka choti nthaka ipume, chaka cha Sabata la Yehova. Musalime mʼminda yanu kapena kusadza mitengo yanu ya mpesa.

and in the seventh year is a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH; you do not sow your field, and you do not prune your vineyard;

5 Musakolole zimene zinamera zokha mʼmunda mwanu. Musakakolole kapena kuthyola mphesa za mʼmitengo imene simunasadze. Chaka chimenechi nʼchoti nthaka ipumule.

you do not reap the spontaneous growth of your harvest, and you do not gather the grapes of your separated thing; it is a year of rest for the land.

6 Chaka chimene nthakayo ipumula mudzakhala ndi chakudya chokwanira inuyo, akapolo anu aamuna ndi aakazi, antchito ndi alendo okhala nanu.

And the Sabbath [increase] of the land has been for you for food, to you, and to your manservant, and to your handmaid, and to your hired worker, and to your settler, who are sojourning with you;

7 Ziweto zanu pamodzi ndi nyama za mʼdziko lanu zizidzadya zipatso za mʼnthaka.

and for your livestock, and for the beast which [is] in your land, is all its increase for [them] to eat.

8 “‘Muzichotsera Masabata asanu ndi awiri a zaka, ndi kuchulukitsa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri kasanu ndi kawirinso kuti Masabata asanu ndi awiri a zakawo akwane zaka 49.

And you have numbered seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven Sabbaths of years have been forty-nine years for you,

9 Ndipo pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri mulize lipenga mofuwula. Tsiku lochita mwambo wopepesera machimo muziliza lipenga mʼdziko lanu lonse.

and you have caused a horn of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; in the Day of Atonements you cause a horn to pass over through all your land;

10 Mupatule chaka cha makumi asanu, ndipo mulengeze kuti pakhale ufulu mʼdziko lonse kwa onse amene ali mʼmenemo. Kwa inu chakachi chidzakhala choyimba lipenga la chikondwerero. Aliyense wa inu adzayenera kubwerera pa munda wake, ndipo aliyense wa inu adzabwerera ku fuko lake.

and you have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and you have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it is a Jubilee for you; and you have turned back each to his possession; indeed, you return each to his family.

11 Kwa inu chakachi chidzakhaladi chaka choyimba lipenga kukondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Pa chaka chimenechi musadzale kanthu ndipo musakolole mbewu zomera zokha kapenanso kuthyola mphesa pa mitengo yosasadzira.

It [is] a Jubilee, the fiftieth year, it is a year for you; you do not sow, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;

12 Chimenechi ndi chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Choncho chikhale chaka chopatulika kwa inu. Muzidya zokhazo zimene zakololedwa mʼminda.

for it [is] a Jubilee—it is holy to you; you eat its increase from the field;

13 “‘Chaka chimenechi ndi choliza lipenga, kukondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo aliyense abwerere pa malo ake.

you return each to his possession in this Year of the Jubilee.

14 “‘Ngati unagulitsa kapena kugula malo ako kwa mnzako wa mʼdzikomo, pasakhale kuchenjeretsana.

And when you sell anything to your fellow, or buy from the hand of your fellow, you do not oppress one another;

15 Ugule kwa mnzako potsata chiwerengero cha zaka zimene zatha kuyambira pa chikondwerero cha chaka cha makumi asanu chapita. Ndipo mnzakoyo akugulitse potsata chiwerengero cha zaka zokolola zomwe zatsala.

you buy from your fellow by the number of years after the Jubilee; he sells to you by the number of the years of increase;

16 Zaka zikakhala zochuluka, uwonjezere mtengo, ndipo zaka zikakhala zochepa, uchepetse mtengo, pakuti chimene iye akukugulitsa ndi zaka zokolola.

you multiply its price according to the multitude of the years, and you diminish its price according to the fewness of the years; for [it is] a number of increases [that] he is selling to you;

17 Musachenjeretsane koma muope Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

and you do not oppress one another, and you have been afraid of your God; for I [am] your God YHWH.

18 “‘Tsatirani malangizo anga ndipo mverani mosamala malamulo anga ndipo mudzakhala mʼdzikomo mwamtendere.

And you have done My statutes, and you keep My judgments, and have done them, and you have dwelt on the land confidently,

19 Ndipo nthaka idzakupatsani zipatso zake. Mudzadya mpaka kukhuta ndiponso mudzakhala mʼdzikomo mwamtendere.

and the land has given its fruit, and you have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.

20 Mwina nʼkafunsa kuti, ‘Kodi chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri tidzadya chiyani ngati sitidzala kapena kukolola mbewu zathu?’

And when you say, What do we eat in the seventh year, behold, do we not sow, nor gather our increase?

21 Ine ndidzatumiza madalitso ambiri chaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi moti nthaka yanu idzabala zinthu zokwanira kudya zaka zitatu.

Then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it has made the increase for three years;

22 Pamene mukudzala chaka chachisanu ndi chitatu, muzidzadya chakudya chogonera ndipo mudzapitirira kudya mpaka nthawi yokolola mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chinayi.

and you have sown [in] the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; you eat the old until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase.

23 “‘Malo asagulitsidwe mpaka muyaya chifukwa dzikolo ndi langa. Inu ndinu alendo okhala ndi Ine.

And the land is not sold—to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for you [are] sojourners and settlers with Me;

24 Malo onse amene ali mʼmanja mwanu mudzalole kuti amene anakugulitsani awawombole.

and in all the land of your possession you give a redemption for the land.

25 “‘Ngati Mwisraeli mnzanu wasauka nagulitsako gawo lina la malo ake, mʼbale wake wapaphata abwere kudzawombola malo amene mʼbale wakeyo wagulitsa.

When your brother becomes poor, and has sold his possession, then his redeemer who is near to him has come, and he has redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

26 Koma ngati munthuyo alibe wachibale woti nʼkuwombola malowo koma pambuyo pake iye mwini nʼkulemera ndi kupeza zokwanira kuwombolera, awombole malowo.

and when a man has no redeemer, and his own hand has attained [means], and he has found [it] as sufficient [for] its redemption,

27 Awerengerane zaka kuyambira pamene anagulitsa mundawo ndipo amubwezere amene anagulayo ndalama zimene akanayenera kuzipereka mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Atatero angathe kubwerera pa malo ake.

then he has reckoned the years of its sale, and has given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he has returned to his possession.

28 Koma ngati sakhala nazo zokwanira kuti amubwezere amene anagula malowo, gawo limene anagulitsalo lidzakhala mʼmanja mwa munthu amene anagulayo mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Malowo adzabwezedwa chaka chimenechi, ndipo iye adzatha kubwerera pa malo ake.

And if his hand has not found sufficiency to give back to him, then his sold thing has been in the hand of him who buys it until the Year of Jubilee; and it has gone out in the Jubilee, and he has returned to his possession.

29 “‘Ngati munthu agulitsa nyumba ya mu mzinda umene uli mu linga, angathe kuyiwombola nyumbayo chisanathe chaka chathunthu chigulitsire. Mu nthawi imeneyi wogulitsayo atha kuyiwombola.

And when a man sells a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then his right of redemption has been until the completion of a year from its selling; his right of redemption is [during these] days;

30 Ngati nyumbayo siwomboledwa chisanathe chaka chimodzicho, nyumbayo idzakhala ya amene anagulayo ndi zidzukulu zake mpaka muyaya. Sidzabwezedwanso kwa mwini wake mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu.

and if it is not redeemed to him until the fullness of a perfect year, then the house which [is] in a walled city has been established to extinction to him buying it, throughout his generations; it does not go out in the Jubilee.

31 Koma nyumba za mʼmizinda yosazingidwa ndi linga ziwomboledwe monga mmene achitira ndi minda ya mʼdzikomo.

And a house of the villages which have no surrounding wall is reckoned on the field of the country; there is redemption for it, and it goes out in the Jubilee.

32 “‘Alevi ali ndi ufulu owombola nyumba zawo za mʼmidzi yawo nthawi ina iliyonse.

As for cities of the Levites—houses of the cities of their possession—continuous redemption is for the Levites;

33 Koma ngati Mlevi sawombola nyumba imene inagulitsidwa mʼmudzi mwake, ndiye kuti idzabwezedwe mʼchaka choliza lipenga pokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, popeza nyumba zimenezi zili mʼmidzi ya Alevi ndi yawo pakati pa Aisraeli.

as for him who redeems from the Levites, then the sale of a house (and [in] the city of his possession) has gone out in the Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.

34 Koma malo owetera ziweto a mʼmidzi yawoyo sayenera kugulitsidwa. Awa ndi malo awo mpaka muyaya.

And a field, a outskirt of their cities, is not sold; for it [is] a continuous possession for them.

35 “‘Ngati mʼbale wako akhala wosauka kuti sangathe kudzisamalira yekha, umuthandize. Ukhale naye ngati mlendo kapena ngati munthu amene ukhala naye kwa kanthawi.

And when your brother has become poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you have kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he has lived with you;

36 Usalandire chiwongoladzanja chilichonse kuchokera kwa iye kapena kuwonjezerapo kanthu kena, koma uziopa Mulungu kuti mʼbale wakoyo akhale nawe.

you take no usury or increase from him; and you have been afraid of your God; and your brother has lived with you;

37 Musakongoze mnzanu ndalama kuti mulandire chiwongoladzanja, kapena kumugulitsa chakudya kuti mupeze phindu.

you do not give your money to him in usury, and you do not give your food for increase.

38 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto kuti ndikupatseni dziko la Kanaani ndi kuti ndikhale Mulungu wanu.

I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt to give the land of Canaan to you, to become your God.

39 “‘Ngati mʼbale wanu asauka ndipo adzigulitsa yekha kwa inu, musamugwiritse ntchito ngati kapolo.

And when your brother becomes poor with you, and he has been sold to you, you do not lay servile service on him;

40 Akhale ngati wantchito kapena ngati mlendo. Akugwirireni ntchito mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu.

he is as a hired worker [and] as a settler with you; he serves with you until the Year of the Jubilee—

41 Kenaka iye ndi ana ake achoke, ndipo apite ku fuko lake ndi kubwerera ku malo a makolo ake.

then he has gone out from you, he and his sons with him, and has turned back to his family; and he turns back to the possession of his fathers.

42 Chifukwa Aisraeli ndi atumiki anga amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, asagulitsidwe ngati akapolo.

For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;

43 Musawalamulire mwankhanza koma wopani Mulungu wanu.

you do not rule over him with rigor, and you have been afraid of your God.

44 “‘Kunena za akapolo aamuna ndi aakazi, amenewa mungathe kuwagula kuchokera kwa mitundu ya anthu imene yakuzungulirani.

And your manservant and your handmaid whom you have [are] from the nations who [are] around you; you buy manservant and handmaid from them,

45 Mungathenso kugula akapolo kuchokera kwa alendo amene akukhala nanu kapena kuchokera ku mabanja amene mukukhala nawo amene ndi mbadwa za mʼdziko lanu. Iwowa akhoza kukhala akapolo anu.

and also from the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, you buy from them, and from their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;

46 Akapolowo mungathe kuwasiya mʼmanja mwa ana anu inu mutafa kuti akhale cholowa chawo moyo wawo wonse. Koma musawalamulire mwankhanza Aisraeli anzanu.

and you have taken them for an inheritance for your sons after you, to inherit [for] a possession; you lay service on them for all time, but on your brothers, the sons of Israel, each with his brother—you do not rule over him with rigor.

47 “‘Ngati mlendo kapena munthu amene akukhala nanu kwa kanthawi kochepa alemera ndipo mmodzi wa abale anu amene akukhala naye pafupi nʼkusauka, nadzigulitsa yekha kwa mlendo amene akukhala pakati panuyo kapena kwa mmodzi wa fuko la munthu wongokhala pafupi nayeyo,

And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with you attains [riches], and your brother with him has become poor, and he has been sold to a sojourner, a settler with you, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

48 wodzigulitsayo ali ndi ufulu wowomboledwa. Mmodzi mwa abale ake angathe kumuwombola:

after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption for him; one of his brothers redeems him,

49 amalume ake kapena mwana wa amalume ake, kapena wachibale wa mu fuko lake. Kapena ngati iye mwini alemera, atha kudziwombola yekha.

or his uncle or a son of his uncle redeems him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, redeems him, or [if] his own hand has attained [means] then he has been redeemed.

50 Iye pamodzi ndi munthu amene anamugulayo awerengerane kuyambira chaka chimene anadzigulitsa kwa iyeyo mpaka chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu. Mtengo wodziwombolera ukhale wofanana ndi zakazo. Ndipo nthawi imene anali ndi mbuye wakeyo iwerengedwe ngati nthawi ya munthu wantchito.

And he has reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him until the Year of Jubilee, and the money of his sale has been by the number of years; it is with him as the days of a hired worker.

51 Ngati patsala zaka zambiri, iye ayenera kulipira mtengo woposera umene anamugulira.

If many years still [remain], he gives back his redemption [money] according to them, from the money of his purchase.

52 Ngati kwatsala zaka zochepa kuti ifike nthawi ya chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, iye awerengerane ndi mbuye wake, ndipo apereke ndalama za zowomboledwera molingana ndi zaka zotsalazo.

And if few are left of the years until the Year of Jubilee, then he has reckoned with him [and] he gives back his redemption [money] according to his years;

53 Azikhala naye ngati wantchito wolembedwa chaka ndi chaka. Ndipo muonetsetse kuti mbuye wakeyo sakumulamulira mwankhanza.

as a hired worker, year by year, he is with him, and he does not rule him with rigor before your eyes.

54 “‘Ngakhale munthuyo atapanda kuwomboledwa mwa njira zimenezi, iye ndi ana ake ayenera kumasulidwa mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu,

And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he has gone out in the Year of Jubilee, he and his sons with him.

55 pakuti Aisraeli ndi atumiki anga. Iwo ndi atumiki anga amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me; they [are] My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.”
