But if he be not 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 jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

And if it be not 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 jubile.

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

34 Hateiteh, Levih kho dawk kaawm e imlawnaw yawt mahoeh. Pou a tawn awh han.

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

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

I am Yhwh your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:

41 Hat navah, ahni teh a canaw hoi a tâco vaiteh amae a hmaunawngha, a mintoenaw e talai koe lah bout a ban han.

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

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.

For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

43 Ahni teh puenghoi na rektap mahoeh. Na Cathut hah taket.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

44 Nang ni na tawn hane sannu sanpa teh na tengpam kaawm e Jentelnaw koe na ran han.

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do 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 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.

And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

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,

And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:

48 Yo hnukkhu, bout ratang thainae kâ ao han. A hmaunawngha lah kaawm e buetbuet touh ni a ratang han.

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren 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 his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, 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.

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

51 Jubili kum a pha hoehnahlan a thawtawknae kum ayoun apap e parei vaiteh,

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

52 A ngai rae a kumtha ayoun apap e patetlah ratang nahane aphu hah rannae phu dawk hoi rayu vaiteh bout a pâban han.

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

53 Ahni teh kum touh hnukkhu, kum touh hlai e patetlah ao han. Na hmaitung vah rektap lah awm hanh naseh.

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

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

For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Yhwh your God.
