Thothuengnah 25

1 Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,

And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

2 “Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai. loh nangmih taengah kam paek khohmuen te na kun thil uh vaengah khohmuen. loh BOEIPA ham Sabbath te yaeh saeh.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.

3 Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah na misur khaw kum rhuk na hloe khuiah a thaih te bit.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

4 Tedae a kum rhih dongah tah khohmuen ham koiyaeh Sabbath la om saeh. BOEIPA kah Sabbath ah na khohmuen te tawn boeh. Na misur khaw hloe boeh.

But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

5 Na cang pong te at boeh. Na khohai misur khaw bit boeh. Khohmuen kah koiyaeh kum la om saeh.

That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest, thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest to the land.

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.

And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

7 Na khohmuen kah na rhamsa neh mulhing loh a caak ham khaw a thaih boeih om ni.

And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the increase of it be 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.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty and 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 shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound, on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

10 Kum sawmnga kum te ciim uh lamtah kho khuikah khosa rhoek boeih ham sayalhnah hoe uh. Te te nangmih ham jubilee la om saeh. Hlang kah a khohut te mael lamtah hlang boeih te a huiko taengla mael uh.

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family.

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.

A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed.

12 Tekah jubilee tah nangmih ham a cim la a om dongah khohmuen kah a thaih te na caak uh ni.

For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.

13 Tekah jubilee kum vaengah hlang kah a khohut te mael uh.

In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession.

14 Hnoyoih te na imben taengah na yoih uh tih, na imben kut lamkah na lai atah manuca te khat neh khat vuelvaek uh thae boeh.

And if thou shalt sell aught to thy neighbor, or buy [aught] of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress 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.

According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:

16 A cangvuei kah a tarhing te namah taengah han yoih coeng dongah a kum loh amah tarhing ah yet tih a lainah. loh rhoeng cakhaw kum kah a tarhing te hnah pah lamtah a lainah te hnah pah.

According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell to thee.

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.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for 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.

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

19 Diklai long khaw a thaih a paek vetih kodam la na caak ni. A khuiah khaw ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh ni.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.

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,

And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase:

21 kai kah yoethennah he kum rhuk khuiah nangmih ham kang uen vetih kum thum ham a vuei a thaih om bitni.

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

22 Kum rhet dongah tawn uh lamtah cang rhuem te kum ko hil ca uh. Cangah a pha duela cang rhuem te ca uh.

And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store].

23 Nangmih tah kai taengah yinlai neh n lampah uh dae khohmuen tah kamah taengah a ti ham dongah khohmuen te khaw yoi boeh.

The land shall not be sold for ever; for the land [is] mine, for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.

24 Te dongah na khohut khohmuen boeih dongah khohmuen ham tlannah khueh uh.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

25 Na manuca te 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 thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother 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,

And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

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.

Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.

28 Tedae anih taengah a mael rhoeh te a kut loh 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.

But if he shall not be able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.

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 tue te khueh saeh.

And if a man shall sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold: [within] a full year may he redeem it.

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.

And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee,

31 Vongup kah im mai cakhaw a kaepvai ah vongtung a om pawt atah khohmuen lohma bangla poek uh saeh. Anih ham tlannah om saeh lamtah jubilee vaengah hlah pah saeh.

But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them, shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

32 Levi khopuei kah khopuei im tah amih kah khohut ni. Levi ham tah kumhal ah tlannah om saeh.

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

33 Israel ca rhoek 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.

And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession shall go out in the [year of] jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel.

34 Tedae amih Levi khopuei kah khohmuen khocaak te tah amamih kah kumhal a khohut la a om coeng dongah yoi uh boel saeh.

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it [is] their perpetual possession.

35 Na manuca te daeng tih nang taengah a kut a hmawn oeh atah anih te yinlai neh lampah banghui lam khaw talong lamtah namah taengah hing sak.

And if thy brother shall have become poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he] may [be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

36 Anih taeng lamkah a casai neh a pueh a kan khaw lo boeh. Na Pathen te na rhih daengah ni na manuca. loh nang taengah a hing eh.

Take thou no interest of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

37 Anih te a casai la tangka pu boeh. Na cang khaw a pueh a kan la yoi boeh.

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

38 Kai tah nangmih taengah Pathen la om ham neh nang taengah Kanaan khohmuen paek ham Egypt khohmuen lamkah nangmih aka doek na Pathen BOEIPA ni.

I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.

39 Na taengkah na manuca te daeng tih nang taengla amah a yoih uh atah sal kah thotatnah bangla anih te thohtat sak boeh.

And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bond servant:

40 Namah taengah kutloh neh lampah bangla om saeh lamtah Jubilee kum hil nang taengah thotat saeh.

[But] as a hired servant, [and] as a sojourner he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee to the year of jubilee.

41 Te phoeiah amah neh a ca rhoek te nang taeng lamkah nong saeh lamtah a huiko taengla mael saeh. Te vaengah a napa kah khohut la mael saeh.

And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.

42 Kamah kah sal la om ham amih te Egypt kho lamkah ka loh. Amih te sal yoih la yoi uh boel saeh.

For they [are] my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bond-men.

43 Anih te mangkhak la taemrhai boeh. Na Pathen te rhih lah.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.

44 Na kaepvai namtom taeng lamkah sal, salnu na lai te tah namah taengah namah kah salnu salpa la om uh saeh.

Both thy bond-men, and thy bond-maids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are around you; of them shall ye buy bond-men and bond-maids.

45 Nangmih loh na lai uh tih nangmih taengah aka bakuep lampah ca rhoek neh nangmih taengkah a huiko lamloh na kho kah nangmih lakliah a cun uh te khaw khohut bangla nangmih taengah om uh saeh.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

46 Te dongah amih te namah phoeikah na ca rhoek taengah kumhal kah a pang khohut la pang sak lamtah thohtat sak. Tedae na manuca Israel ca rhoek khat khat neh anih kah a manuca soah mangkhak la taemrhai boeh.

And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession, they shall be your bond-men for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.

47 Nang taengkah yinlai neh lampah kut long pataeng a kae vaengah a taengkah na manuca tah daeng tih na taengkah yinlai lampah taengah khaw, yinlai huiko kah a mii taengah khaw, amah a yoi uh khaming,

And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

48 a yoih uh phoeiah khaw a manuca khui lamkah khat khat long ni tlannah a khueh atah tlan saeh.

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

49 A nupu long khaw, a nupu capa long khaw tlan saeh. A pumsa saa lamkah, amah huiko long khaw tlan saeh. A kut loh a na mak atah amah khaw tlan uh saeh.

Either his uncle, or his uncle's son may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin to him of his family, may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.

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 tangka te om saeh lamtah anih te kutloh bangla om saeh.

And he shall reckon with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.

51 Kum muep a ngaih pueng atah a yet tarhing la a lainah tangka dong lamkah te tlannah la pae saeh.

If [there shall be] yet many years [behind], according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

52 Tedae jubilee kum duela kum cavilcavel ni a ngaih coeng atah a kum tarhing te poek pah saeh lamtah a tlannah te pae van saeh.

And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, [and] according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

53 Kum at phoeiah kum at kutloh bangla om saeh. Anih te na mikhmuh ah mangkhak la taemrhai boeh.

[And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.

And if he shall not be redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, [both] he, and his children with him.

55 Israel ca rhoek he kamah taengah ka sal rhoek kah sal la om ham ni Egypt kho lamkah ka loh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni.

For to me the children of Israel [are] servants, they [are] my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
