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;

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;

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.

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.

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.

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 Hottelah, a paw paw na kum parei hoi yo e lah ao dawkvah, kum ayoun apap e patetlah aphu payoun, paluen lahoi yoran han.
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.

So then ye shall not overreach one another; but thou shalt stand in awe of thy God, —for, I—Yahweh, am your God.

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.

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.

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 Hateiteh, Levih kho dawk kaawm e imlawnaw yawt mahoeh. Pou a tawn awh han.
But the field of the pasture-land of their cities, shall not be sold, —for an age-abiding possession, it is unto them.

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.

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,

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:

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

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 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 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.

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 Yo hnukkhu, bout ratang thainae kâ ao han. A hmaunawngha lah kaawm e buetbuet touh ni a ratang han.
after that he hath sold himself, a right of redemption, pertaineth to him, —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.
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 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.
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 Jubili kum a pha hoehnahlan a thawtawknae kum ayoun apap e parei vaiteh,
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.

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.

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

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.

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.
