1 Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 “Israel carhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai. loh nangmih taengah kam paek khohmuen te na kun thil uh vaengah khohmuen. loh BOEIPA ham Sabbathte yaeh saeh.
“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.
3 Na khohmuente kum rhuk tawn lamtah na misur khaw kum rhuk na hloe khuiah a thaih te bit.
Six years you can cultivate your fields, take care of your vineyards, and harvest your crops.
4 Tedae a kum rhih dongah tah khohmuen ham koiyaeh Sabbath la om saeh. BOEIPA kah Sabbath ah na khohmuente tawn boeh. Na misur khaw hloe boeh.
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.
5 Na cang pong te at boeh. Na khohai misur khaw bit boeh. Khohmuen kah koiyaeh kum la om saeh.
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.
6 Na Khohmuen kah Sabbath vaengah tah cakok te namah ham neh na salpa ham khaw, na salnu ham khaw, na kutloh ham khaw, na taengah aka bakuep na lampah ham khaw om bitni.
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,
7 Na khohmuen kah na rhamsa neh mulhingloh a caak ham khaw a thaih boeih om ni.
and to your livestock and the wild animals living in your land. Whatever grows can be used for food.
8 Te dongah kum rhih kum rhih kah Sabbath voei rhih tae lamtah voei rhih a cup phoeikah kum sawmli pako vaengah Sabbath kum la om saeh.
Count seven ‘sabbaths’ of years, in other words, seven times seven years, so that the seven sabbaths of years come to forty-nine years.
9 Hla rhih dongkah hlasae hnin rha vaengah tamlung neh tuki na ueng ni. Tholh dawthnah khohnin ah khaw na khohmuen boeih ah tuki na ueng ni.
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.
10 Kum sawmnga kum te ciim uh lamtah kho khuikah khosarhoek boeih ham sayalhnah hoe uh. Tete nangmih ham jubilee la om saeh. Hlang kah a khohut te mael lamtah hlang boeih te a huiko taengla mael uh.
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.
11 A sawmnga kum te nangmih ham jubilee kum la om saeh lamtah, lo tawn uh boeh. Te dongah amah aka pong khaw at uh boeh. Khohai kah khaw bit uh boeh.
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.
12 Tekah jubilee tah nangmih ham a cimlaa om dongah khohmuen kah a thaih te na caak uh ni.
It is a Jubilee and it is to be holy to you. You can eat whatever the land produces.
13 Tekah jubilee kum vaengah hlang kah a khohut te mael uh.
In this Jubilee Year, every one of you shall return to your own property.
14 Hnoyoihte na imben taengah na yoih uh tih, na imben kut lamkah na lai atah manuca te khat neh khat vuelvaek uh thae boeh.
If you sell land to your neighbor, or buy land from him, don't exploit one another.
15 Jubilee phoeikah kum na tae soah na imben kah khohmuen te na lai uh neh a vuei a thaih kum na tae soah yoi saeh.
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.
16 A cangvuei kah a tarhingte namah taengah han yoih coeng dongah a kum loh amah tarhing ah yettih a lainah. loh rhoeng cakhaw kum kah a tarhingte hnah pah lamtah a lainahte hnah pah.
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.
17 Hlang pakhat long he a imben te vuelvaek boel saeh. Tedae kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah na Pathen te rhih lah.
Don't exploit one another, but have respect for your God, because I am the Lord your God.
18 Te dongah ka khosing te vai uh lamtah ka laitloeknah te ngaithuen uh. Te te na saii uh daengah ni diklai ah ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh eh.
Keep my rules and observe my regulations, so you can live in safety in the land.
19 Diklai long khaw a thaih a paek vetih kodam la na caak ni. A khuiah khaw ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh ni.
Then the land will produce good harvest, so you will have plenty to eat and live in safety there.
20 Tedae, “Kum rhih dongah lo ka tawn uh pawt tih ka cangvuei khaw ka khoem uh pawt koinih balae ka caak uh eh,” na ti uh oeh cakhaw,
But if you ask, ‘What are we going to in the seventh year if we do not sow or harvest our crops?’
21 kai kah yoethennah he kum rhuk khuiah nangmih ham kang uen vetih kum thum ham a vuei a thaih om bitni.
I will bless you in the sixth year, so that the land will produce a crop that will be enough for three years.
22 Kum rhet dongah tawn uh lamtah cang rhuem te kum ko hil ca uh. Cangah a pha duela cang rhuemte ca uh.
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.
23 Nangmih tah kai taengah yinlai neh n lampah uh dae khohmuen tah kamah taengah a ti ham dongah khohmuen te khaw yoi boeh.
Land must not be permanently sold, because it really belongs to me. To me you are only foreigners and travelers passing through.
24 Te dongah na khohut khohmuen boeih dongah khohmuen ham tlannah khueh uh.
So whatever land you buy to own, you must make arrangements so it can be returned to its original owner.
25 Na manucate daeng tih a khohut te a yoih atah khohmuen aka tlan ham anih neh aka yoei uh loh ham paan saeh lamtah a manuca kah hnoyoih te koep tlan saeh.
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.
26 Aka tlan ham hlang ni a om pawt tih khohmuen a tlannah rhoeh te a kut. loh pha pawh, a dang pawt bal atah,
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,
27 a hnoyoih kah kum te tae saeh lamtah a hoei te koe a yoi thil hlang taengah thuung saeh. Te phoeiah amah khohut te lat saeh.
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
28 Tedae anih taengah a mael rhoehte a kutloh a dang pawt atah a hnoyoih te aka lai kut dongah jubilee kum duela om dae saeh. Tedae jubilee vaengah hlah pah saeh lamtah amah khohut taengla mael saeh.
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.
29 Hlang. loh tolrhum khopuei vongtung khuikah im te a yoih mai ni. Tedae a yoihnah kum a thok hil a tlannah om saeh lamtah a tlannah tuete khueh saeh.
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.
30 Kum loh cup tih a thok duela a tlan pawt atah khopuei vongtung khuikah im te im aka lai neh anih kah cadilcahma taengah a ti la pai saeh lamtah jubilee vaengah khaw hlah boel saeh.
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.
31 Vongup kah im mai cakhaw a kaepvai ah vongtungaom pawt atah khohmuen lohma bangla poek uh saeh. Anih ham tlannah om saeh lamtah jubilee vaengah hlah pah saeh.
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.
32 Levi khopuei kah khopuei im tah amih kah khohut ni. Levi ham tah kumhalah tlannah om saeh.
However, the Levites always have the right to buy back their houses in the towns that belong to them.
33 Israel carhoek khuiah Levi rhoek long tah a khopuei neh a im bueng he amih kah a khohut la a khueh uh dongah Levi rhoek long tah tlan saeh. A khohut khopuei kah im a yoih tangtae khaw jubilee vaengah koep lat saeh.
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.
34 Tedae amih Levi khopuei kah khohmuen khocaak te tah amamih kah kumhal a khohut la a om coeng dongah yoi uh boel saeh.
However, the fields surrounding their towns must not be sold because they belong to the Levites permanently.

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.

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.

an uncle or cousin or any close relative from their family can buy them back. If they become successful, they can buy themselves back.
50 Anih a yoih lamkah a lai kum te jubilee kum duela tae pah saeh. Te phoeiah a kum tarhing dongkah a khohnin vanbangla a yoih tangkate om saeh lamtah anih te kutloh bangla om saeh.
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.

If there are many years left, they must pay a larger percentage of the purchase price.
