Thothuengnah 25

1 Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA loh Moses a voek tih,

And Yahweh spake unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: —When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.

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

Six years, shalt thou sow thy field, and, six years, shalt thou prune thy vineyard, —and gather the increase 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—a sabbath of sacred rest, shall there be unto the land, a sabbath unto Yahweh: thy field, shalt thou not sow, and, thy vineyard, shalt thou not prune;

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

that which groweth of itself of thy harvest, shalt thou not reap; and the grapes of thine unpruned vines, shalt thou not cut off: a year of sacred rest, shall there be 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.

So shall the sabbath of the land be unto you for food: unto thee, and unto thy servant and unto thy handmaid, —and unto thy hireling, and unto thy settlers that are sojourning with thee;

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

and unto thy tame-beasts, and unto the wild-beasts that are in thy land, shall belong all the increase thereof 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.

And thou shalt count to thee seven weeks of years, seven years, seven times, —so shall the days of the seven weeks of years become to thee 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 shalt thou cause a signal-horn to pass through in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month: on the Day of Propitiation, shall ye cause a horn to pass 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.

So shall ye hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim freedom throughout the land to all the dwellers thereof, —a jubilee, shall it be unto you, and ye shall return, every man unto his possession, and every man unto his family, shall ye return.

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 unto you, —ye shall not sow, neither shall ye reap the self-grown corn thereof, nor cut off the grapes of the unpruned vines thereof.

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

For, a jubilee, it is, holy, shall it be unto you, —out of the field, shall ye eat her increase.

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

In this same jubilee year, shall ye return every man unto 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 when ye sell anything to thy neighbour, or buy aught at thy neighbour’s hand, do not overreach 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.

By the number of years after the jubilee, shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, —by the number of the years of increase, shall he sell unto 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 the years, shalt thou increase the price thereof, and, according to the fewness of the years, shalt thou diminish the price thereof, —because the sum of the increase, it is that he selleth 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.

So then ye shall not overreach one another; but thou shalt stand in awe of thy God, —for, I—Yahweh, am 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 my regulations, shall ye observe and do them, —so shall ye dwell upon the land with confidence;

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 to the full, —and shall dwell with confidence thereupon.

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 since ye may say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? Lo! we are not to sow, neither are we to gather our increase!

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

Therefore will I command my blessing upon you, in the sixth year, —and it shall make the increase of 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 store, —until the ninth year until the coming in of the increase thereof, shall ye eat 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 moreover shall not be sold beyond recovery, for, mine, is the land, —for, sojourners and settlers, ye are with me.

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

And, in all the land of your possession, a right of redemption, shall ye give to 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.

When thy brother waxeth poor, and so selleth aught of his possession, then may his kinsman that is near unto him come in, and redeem that which was sold by his brother.

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, when, any man, hath no kinsman, —but his own hand getteth enough, so that he findeth what is needed 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 shall he reckon the years since he sold it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it, —and shall 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 his hand have not found enough to get it back unto him, then shall that which he sold remain in the hand of him that bought it, until the year of the jubilee, —and shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return unto 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, when, any man, selleth a dwelling-house in a walled city, then shall his right of redemption remain until the completion of a year after he sold it, —for, [a year of] days, shall his right of redemption remain.

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.

But, if it be not redeemed before the end of a full year, then shall the house that is in the city that hath walls be confirmed, beyond recovery, to him who bought it, unto 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 as for the houses of villages which have no wall round about them, with the fields of land, shall it be reckoned, —a right of redemption, shall belong to it, and, in the jubilee, shall it go out.

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

And as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, an age-abiding right of redemption, shall pertain unto the Levites.

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 one of the Levites should not redeem, then shall the sale of the house and the city of his possession go 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 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 pasture-land of their cities, shall not be sold, —for an age-abiding possession, it is unto them.

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, when thy brother waxeth poor, and his hand becometh feeble with thee, then shalt thou strengthen him, as a sojourner and a settler, so shall he 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.

Do not accept from him interest or profit, but stand thou in awe of thy God, —so shall thy brother live with thee.

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

Thy silver, shalt thou not give him on interest, —neither, for profit, shalt thou give him thy food.

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—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, —to give unto you the land of Canaan, to become 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 when thy brother waxeth poor with thee, and so selleth himself unto thee, thou shalt not bind him with the bondage of a bondman:

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

as a hired servant, as a settler, shall he remain with thee, —until the year of the jubilee, shall he serve with thee:

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.

then shall he go forth from thee, he and his sons with him, —and shall return unto his family, and unto 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, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt, —they shall not sell themselves with the sale of a bondman.

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

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour, —so shalt thou stand in awe of thy God.

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

And as for thy bondman and thy bond-maid which thou shalt have, of the nations that are round about you—from them, may ye buy bondman and bond-maid.

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 also, of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you—of them, may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land, —so shall they become yours, as a 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 may take them as an inheritance for your sons after you to inherit as a possession, unto times age-abiding, of them, may ye take to be bondmen, —but, over your brethren the sons of Israel—a man over his brother, ye shall not rule, over him with rigour.

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, when the hand of the sojourner and settler with thee getteth possessions, and thy brother with him, waxeth poor, —and so he selleth himself to the sojourner [who is] a settler with thee, or to one who hath taken root, of the family of the sojourner,

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

after that he hath sold himself, a right of redemption, pertaineth to him, —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.

or, his uncle or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or, a near flesh-relation of his, of his family, may redeem him, or, his own hand may have gotten enough, and, so 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.

Then shall he reckon with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, unto the year of the jubilee, —and the silver for which he was sold shall be by the number of years, according to the days of a hired servant, shall he 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 is yet a multitude of years, according to them, shall he return, as his redemption price, of the silver of him that bought him.

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.

Or, if [there is] but a small remainder of years, until the year of the jubilee, then shall he reckon to himself, according to the years thereof, shall he return his price of redemption.

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

As a servant hired year by year, shall he be with him, he shall not rule over him with rigour, before thine eyes.

54 Te tlam pataeng a tlan thai pawt atah Jubilee kum vaengah anih te a ca rhoek neh rhenten hlah saeh.

But if he be not redeemed in any of these ways, then shall he go out in the jubilee year, he, and his sons 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, unto me, are the sons of Israel, bondmen, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I, Yahweh, am your God.
