利未記 25
1 上主在西乃山訓示梅瑟說：」
And the Lord spake vnto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 你告訴以色列子民說：幾時你們進入了我要賜給你們的地方，這地方將為上主守安息。
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye shall come into the lande which I giue you, the lande shall keepe Sabbath vnto the Lord.
3 六年之內，你可播種田地；六年之內，你可修剪葡萄園，收穫其中的出產。
Sixe yeeres thou shalt sowe thy field, and sixe yeeres thou shalt cut thy vineyarde, and gather the fruite thereof.
4 但到第七年，地應完全休息，是上主的安息年。你不可播種田地，也不可修剪葡萄園；
But the seuenth yeere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande: it shall be the Lordes Sabbath: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde.
5 連你收穫後而自然生出的，你也不可收割；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，你也不可採摘；是地完全休息的一年。
That which groweth of it owne accorde of thy haruest, thou shalt not reape, neither gather the grapes that thou hast left vnlaboured: for it shalbe a yeere of rest vnto the land.
6 地在休息期而自然生出的，可供你們吃：即供給你、你的僕卑、傭工和與你同住的客人吃。
And the rest of the lande shall be meate for you, euen for thee, and for thy seruant, and for thy mayde, and for thy hired seruant, and for the stranger that soiourneth with thee:
7 地自然生的，也可供給你的牲畜和你地中的走獸吃。喜年
And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande shall all the encrease thereof be meate.
8 你應計算七個安息年，即七乘七年；七個安息年的時期，正是四十九年。
Also thou shalt number seuen Sabbaths of yeeres vnto thee, euen seuen times seuen yeere: and the space of the seuen Sabbaths of yeeres will be vnto thee nine and fourtie yeere.
9 這年七月初十，你應吹號即在贖罪節日，你們應在全國內吹起號角，
Then thou shalt cause to blow the trumpet of the Iubile in the tenth day of the seuenth moneth: euen in the day of the reconciliation shall ye make the trumpet blowe, throughout all your lande.
10 祝聖第五十年，向全國居民宣布自由；為你們是一喜年，人各歸其祖業，人各反其家庭。
And ye shall halowe that yeere, euen the fiftieth yeere, and proclaime libertie in the lande to all the inhabitants thereof: it shalbe the Iubile vnto you, and ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession, and euery man shall returne vnto his familie.
11 第五十年為你們是一喜年，不可播種；自然生出的，不可收穫；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，不可採摘，
This fiftieth yeere shalbe a yeere of Iubile vnto you: ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes thereof, that are left vnlaboured.
12 為這是喜年，為你們應是聖年；你們只可吃田地自然生的。
For it is the Iubile, it shall be holy vnto you: ye shall eate of the encrease thereof out of the fielde.
13 在這喜年內，人各歸其祖業。
In the yeere of this Iubile, ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession.
14 為此，如你賣給你的同胞產業，或由你的同胞購買，你們不可彼此欺壓；
And when thou sellest ought to thy neighbour, or byest at thy neighbours hande, ye shall not oppresse one another:
15 你應照上次喜年後的年數由你同胞購買，他應照收穫的年數賣給你。
But according to the nomber of yeeres after the Iubile thou shalt bye of thy neighbour: also according to the nomber of the yeeres of the reuenues, he shall sell vnto thee.
16 年數越多，你越應多付買價；年數越少，越應少付買價，因為他賣給你的事物產的數目。
According to the multitude of yeeres, thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewnesse of yeeres, thou shalt abate the price of it: for the nomber of fruites doeth he sell vnto thee.
17 為此，你們不可彼此欺壓，但應敬畏你的天主，因為我上主是你們的天主。
Oppresse not ye therefore any man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: for I am the Lord your God.
18 你們應遵行我的法令，遵守我的規定，一一依照執行，好叫你們平安地住在這地上，
Wherefore ye shall obey mine ordinances, and keepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie.
19 地必供給出產，使你們吃飽，平安住在地上。
And the lande shall giue her fruite, and ye shall eate your fill, and dwell therein in safetie.
20 若你們追問說：到第七年，我們若不能播種，又不能收集我們的出產，我們吃什麼﹖
And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere, for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase?
21 在第六年上，我必決定祝福你們，叫地有三年的出產；
I will sende my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring foorth fruite for three yeeres.
22 你們在第八年上播種時，還吃陳糧；直到第九年，直到收割新糧時，還有陳糧吃。[土地贖回法]
And ye shall sowe the eight yeere, and eate of the olde fruite vntill the ninth yeere: vntill the fruite thereof come, ye shall eate the olde.
23 土地不可出賣而無收回權，因為地是我的，你們為我只是旅客或住客。
Also the lande shall not be solde to be cut off from the familie: for the land is mine, and ye be but strangers and soiourners with me.
24 對你們所佔的各地，應承認地有贖回權。
Therefore in all the land of your possession ye shall graunt a redemption for the lande.
25 如果你的兄弟貧窮，賣了一份家產，他的至親可來作代贖人，贖回他兄弟所賣的家產。
If thy brother be impouerished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, euen his neere kinsman, and bye out that which his brother solde.
26 若沒有代贖人，幾時自己富足了，有了足夠的贖價，
And if he haue no redeemer, but hath gotten and founde to bye it out,
27 當計算賣出後的年數，將差額還給買主，收回自己的家產。
Then shall he count the yeeres of his sale, and restore the ouerplus to the man, to whome he solde it: so shall he returne to his possession.
28 如果他無法獲得足夠的贖價，他所賣的，應存於買主之手直到喜年；到了喜年，地應退還，賣主收回自己的家產。房屋贖回法
But if he can not get sufficient to restore to him, then that which is solde, shall remaine in the hande of him that hath bought it, vntill the yere of the Iubile: and in the Iubile it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession.
29 若人賣了一所在城牆內的住宅，自賣出後，一年內，他有贖回的權利；他贖回的權利為期一年。
Likewise if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled citie, he may bye it out againe within a whole yeere after it is solde: within a yeere may he bye it out.
30 如果滿了一年，他沒有贖回，在城牆內的房屋應歸買主與其後代，再無收回權；即使到了喜年，亦不應退還。
But if it be not bought out within ye space of a ful yeere, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablished, as cut off from the familie, to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not goe out in the Iubile.
31 但房屋在沒有圍牆的村莊內，應算是田產，有贖回的權利；到了喜年應該退還。
But the houses of villages, which haue no walles round about them, shalbe esteemed as the fielde of the countrey: they may be bought out againe, and shall goe out in the Iubile.
32 至於肋未人得為產業的城市中的房屋，肋未人永享有贖回權。
Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons.
33 如一肋未人在他得為產業的城市出賣的房屋，沒有贖回，在喜年仍可收回，因為肋未城中的房屋，是他們在以色列子民中所得的不動產。
And if a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession shall goe out in the Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 但是，他們城外四郊之地，不可變賣，因為是永屬他們的產業。對同胞不可取利
But the fielde of the suburbes of their cities, shall not be solde: for it is their perpetuall possession.
35 如果你的兄弟貧窮，無力向你還債，你應像待外方人一樣或旅客一樣扶持他，叫他能與你一起生活。
Moreouer, if thy brother be impouerished, and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieue him, and as a stranger and soiourner, so shall he liue with thee.
36 不應向他索取利息或重利，但應敬畏你的天主，讓他與你一起生活，如你的兄弟。
Thou shalt take no vsurie of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee.
37 借給他銀錢，不可取利息；借給他糧食，不可取重利。
Thou shalt not giue him thy money to vsurie, nor lende him thy vitailes for increase.
38 我上主是你們的天主，我領你們離開埃及地，將客納罕第賜給你們，是為做你們的天主。以色列人為奴的法律
I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to giue you the lande of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 若你身旁的兄弟窮了，賣身給你不可迫他勞作如同奴隸一樣；
If thy brother also that dwelleth by thee, be impouerished, and be sold vnto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serue as a bond seruant,
40 他在你身旁，應像傭工或外僑，給你工作直到喜年。
But as an hired seruant, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee: he shall serue thee vnto the yeere of the Iubile.
41 那時，他和他的子女應離開你，回本家，復歸期祖業；
Then shall he depart from thee, both hee, and his children with him, and shall returne vnto his familie, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne:
42 因為他是我的僕役，是我由埃及地領出來的；他們不能賣身，如同出賣奴隸。
For they are my seruants, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypt: they shall not be solde as bondmen are solde.
43 你不可虐待他，但應敬畏你的天主。
Thou shalt not rule ouer him cruelly, but shalt feare thy God.
44 你需要的奴婢，應來自四周的民族，由他們中可購買奴婢。
Thy bond seruant also, and thy bond maid, which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye bye seruants and maydes.
45 此外，可從同你們住在一起的外方人中，或從他們在你們境內所生的後代子孫中，購買奴婢。這些奴婢可成為你們的產業，
And moreouer of the children of the stragers, that are soiourners among you, of them shall ye bye, and of their families that are with you, which they begate in your lande: these shall be your possession.
46 可將他們留給你們的後代子孫，當作永久的產業，使他們勞作。至於你們的兄弟以色列子民，彼此既是兄弟，不可嚴加虐待。
So ye shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possesse them by inheritance, ye shall vse their labours for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one ouer another with crueltie.
47 若外方人，或寄居在你處的人乘了富翁，你的兄弟反而窮了，欠他的債，而賣身給寄居在你處的外方人，或外方人家中的後代；
If a soiourner or a stranger dwelling by thee get riches, and thy brother by him be impouerished, and sell him selfe vnto the stranger or soiourner dwelling by thee, or to the stocke of the strangers familie,
48 賣身以後，仍享有贖回的權利；他的人一個兄弟可以贖他；
After that he is solde, he may be bought out: one of his brethren may bye him out,
49 他的叔伯，或他叔伯的兒子可以贖他；他家中的任何至親骨肉都可以贖他；如他自己致富，亦可自贖。
Or his vncle, or his vncles sonne may bye him out, or any of the kindred of his flesh among his familie, may redeeme him: either if he can get so much, he may bye him selfe out.
50 他應同購買自己的人，計算從賣身給他以後到喜年的年數；贖價應依照年數的多少，並按照傭工每日的工價決定；
Then he shall recken with his byer from the yeere that he was solde to him, vnto the yere of Iubile: and the money of his sale shalbe according to the number of yeeres: according to the time of an hyred seruant shall he be with him.
51 如剩下的年數尚多，他應依照年數的多少，出一部份贖價來贖身。
If there be many yeeres behind, according to them he shall giue againe for his deliuerance, of the money that he was bought for.
52 如直到喜年剩下的年數不多，應這樣計算：依照年數的比例交付贖價。
If there remaine but fewe yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according to his yeeres giue againe for his redemption.
53 買主對他應像每年雇的工人；不可當著你虐待那人。
He shalbe with him yeere by yeere as an hired seruant: he shall not rule cruelly ouer him in thy sight.
54 如果那人不能這樣贖身，到了喜年，他可與兒女自由離去。
And if he be not redeemed thus, he shall go out in the yeere of Iubile, he, and his children with him.
55 因為以色列子民只對我是奴隸，他們是我的奴隸，是我領他們離開了埃及地：我，上主是你們的天主。
For vnto me the children of Israel are seruants: they are my seruants, who I haue brought out of the land of Egypt: I am ye Lord your God.
