Bawknae 25
1 Sinai mon dawk, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Isarel miphunnaw koe patuen bout na dei pouh hane teh,
Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 Kai ni na poe e ram dawk na pha awh toteh, Hote ram ni BAWIPA hanlah sabbath ayâ han.
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
3 Kum taruk touh thung law hoi misur takha na sak awh vaiteh, apawhik na pâkhueng awh han.
For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
4 Kum sarinae kum teh BAWIPA hanlah sabbath kum, ram thung kaawm e pueng kâhat vaiteh, sabbath yanae kum lah ao. Law na sak mahoeh. Misur takha hai na rasoun mahoeh.
But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Law dawk ama pouk kapâw e apawhik hai na khi mahoeh. Na rasoun hoeh e misur hai na khi mahoeh. Ram pueng kâhatnae kum lah ao.
You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
6 Ram thung sabbath kum nah ka tâcawt e apawhik pueng teh namamouh, napui hoi tongpa, na thaw ka tawk e hoi, nang koe kaawm e imyinnaw hoi,
Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
7 ram thung kaawm e saring pueng ni ca hane kawi lah ao han.
and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
8 Sabbath kum, kum sari touh na parei vaiteh, kum sari vai sari touh tie kum 49 akuep hnukkhu,
And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
9 Tha sari, hnin 10, yonthanae hnin dawk mongka hah ram pueng dawk ueng sak han.
Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.
10 Aruipanganae kum hah thoung sak vaiteh, ram pueng dawk khoca pueng koe hloutnae pathang han. Jubili kum lah ao dawkvah tami pueng amae talai, amae phun koe a ban han.
So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.
11 Hote aruipanganae kum teh Jubili kum lah ao dawkvah law na sak mahoeh. ama pouk kapâw e hai na a mahoeh. Rasoun hoeh e misur takha dawk e a paw hai na khi awh mahoeh.
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
12 Jubili kum teh kathounge kum lah ao dawkvah law dawk e apawhik dueng ca han.
For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
13 Jubili kum nateh tami pueng ni amae khoram lah a ban awh han.
In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
14 Nangmouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh yorannae na sak pawiteh buet touh hoi buet touh kâyue awh hanh.
If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
15 Jubili kum aloum teh a ngai rae kumnaw apawhik a paw nahan a kum parei vaiteh yorannae na sak han.
You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
16 Hottelah, a paw paw na kum parei hoi yo e lah ao dawkvah, kum ayoun apap e patetlah aphu payoun, paluen lahoi yoran han.
You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.
17 Nangmouh teh buet touh hoi buet touh kâyue awh hanh. Na Cathut taket awh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o.
Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
18 Nangmouh ni ka phunglam hah na tarawi pawiteh hote ram dawk lungmawng lahoi kho na sak awh han.
You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
19 Talai ni hai apawhik a tâco sak vaiteh, kaboumlah na ca awh vaiteh, lungmawng lah kho na sak awh han.
Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
20 Nangmouh ni hai asari kum nah, kaimouh ni bangtelamaw ka ca awh han. Law ka sak awh hoeh. Apawhik hai ka pâkhueng awh hoeh na tet awh pawiteh,
Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
21 A kum taruk nah, nangmouh yawhawinae na poe vaiteh, hote kum dawk kum thum touh hane apawhik ka tâco sak han.
But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
22 nangmouh ni a kum taroe nah law na sak teh a kum tako nah apawhik pâkhuengnae totouh a karuem e apawhik na ca awh han.
While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
23 Talai hah ayâ pou tawn sak hanelah, yawt hanh. Talai teh Kaie doeh. Nangmouh teh Kai koe kârayen e imyin lah na o awh.
The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
24 Nangmouh ni talai na tawn a e hmuen pueng bout ratangnae kâ na poe awh han.
Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25 Na hmaunawnghanaw ni roedeng boilah a tawn e talai yawt pawiteh, kahnai e hmaunawngha ni a yo e talai hah bout ratangnae kâ ao han.
If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
26 Hote talai hah ka ratang hane buet touh hai awm hoehpawiteh, ka tawn karuem ni ama ni bout ratang thai pawiteh,
Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
27 A yonae kum hah a touk vaiteh, aphu yit touh bout poe naseh. Hote talai teh bout a coe han.
he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
28 Bout poe thai hoehpawiteh, a yo e hno hah Jubili kum totouh ka ran e kut dawk ao sak han. Jubili kum nah tha pawiteh, hmaloe e katawnkung e kut dawk bout a pha han.
But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.
29 Khopui dawk e im hah imkung ni yawt pawiteh, kum touh thung ratang thainae kâ ao sak han.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
30 Kum touh thung ratang thai hoehpawiteh, hote im ka ran e catounnaw ni pou a tawn han. Jubili kum ka phat nakunghai tha pouh mahoeh toe.
If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
31 Rapan ka tawn hoeh e kho dawk kaawm e im hah law patetlah a pouk vaiteh, ratang thainae kâ ao. Jubili kum pha toteh a tha pouh han.
But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Hat navah, Levihnaw ni a tawn e khopui hoi khopui dawk e imnaw teh nâtuek hai thoseh, ratang thainae kâ ao.
As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
33 Levih ni a tawn e im hoi kho thoseh, ayâ ni ran pawiteh, Jubili kum a pha toteh a tha han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel miphun dawk Levihnaw teh ama onae kho hoi im hloilah alouke hno tawn hoeh.
So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
34 Hateiteh, Levih kho dawk kaawm e imlawnaw yawt mahoeh. Pou a tawn awh han.
But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
35 Nange na hmaunawngha ni a roedeng lawi, imyin patetlah tho pawiteh, nang koe o sak hanlah na kabawp han.
Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
36 Ahni koe apung na cat mahoeh. Na hmaunawngha hah, nang koe o sak hanelah, na Cathut taket loe.
Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
37 Apung ngaihawi lahoi ahni koe tangka thoseh, canei thoseh na cawi mahoeh.
You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
38 Kai ni Kanaan ram na poe awh teh, nangmae Cathut lah ka o nahanlah nangmouh Izip ram hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
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 hmaunawngha ni a roedeng dawkvah nang koe kâyawt pawiteh, san patetlah na hno mahoeh.
If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
40 Ahni teh hlai e patetlah thoseh, imyin patetlah thoseh, nang koe ao vaiteh, Jubili kum totouh na thaw a tawk han.
Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 Hat navah, ahni teh a canaw hoi a tâco vaiteh amae a hmaunawngha, a mintoenaw e talai koe lah bout a ban han.
Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
42 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai e ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao dawkvah san lah o hanelah na yawt mahoeh.
Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
43 Ahni teh puenghoi na rektap mahoeh. Na Cathut hah taket.
You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
44 Nang ni na tawn hane sannu sanpa teh na tengpam kaawm e Jentelnaw koe na ran han.
Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
45 Hothloilah, nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouk ram e taminaw thoseh, na ram dawk a khe e a canaw thoseh, na ran vaiteh na tawn han.
You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
46 Ahnimanaw teh san dawk hoi ka khe e lah ao teh, nang hoi na canaw ni râw lah na tawn han. Na hmaunawngha, Isarel miphun dawk e tho pawiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh puenghoi na rektap mahoeh.
You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.
47 Nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke tami ni a tawnta ei teh, ahnie teng kho ka sak e na hmaunawngha a roedeng teh, nang koe kho ka sak e alouke ram e taminaw koe thoseh, a ca catounnaw koehai thoseh, kâyawt awh pawiteh,
If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,
48 Yo hnukkhu, bout ratang thainae kâ ao han. A hmaunawngha lah kaawm e buetbuet touh ni a ratang han.
he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
49 A na hma, a panga, a hmaunawngha koehoi rei ka tâcawt e imthung buetbuet touh ni a ratang han. Ama ni ratang thai pawiteh a ratang han.
either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
50 Bawi hoi sannaw teh yorannae kum dawk hoi kamtawng vaiteh, Jubili kum totouh kum a parei hnukkhu, a kum ayoun apap e patetlah thoseh, a hlainae tueng khet lahoi thoseh, aphu teh to han.
He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.
51 Jubili kum a pha hoehnahlan a thawtawknae kum ayoun apap e parei vaiteh,
If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
52 A ngai rae a kumtha ayoun apap e patetlah ratang nahane aphu hah rannae phu dawk hoi rayu vaiteh bout a pâban han.
If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
53 Ahni teh kum touh hnukkhu, kum touh hlai e patetlah ao han. Na hmaitung vah rektap lah awm hanh naseh.
He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
54 Hottelah hoi ratang thai hoehpawiteh, Jubili kum a pha toteh, ahni teh a canaw hoi bawi e kut dawk hoi a hlout han.
Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
55 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw teh ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao awh. Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai e ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao awh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
