利未記 25
1 耶和華在西奈山對摩西說：
And the Lord spak to Moises in the hil of Synai,
2 「你曉諭以色列人說：你們到了我所賜你們那地的時候，地就要向耶和華守安息。
and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seye to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond which Y schal yyue to you, `the erthe kepe the sabat of the Lord;
3 六年要耕種田地，也要修理葡萄園，收藏地的出產。
sixe yeeris thou schalt sowe thi feeld, and sixe yeeris thou schalt kitte thi vyner, and thou schalt gadere the fruytis ther of;
4 第七年，地要守聖安息，就是向耶和華守的安息，不可耕種田地，也不可修理葡萄園。
forsothe in the seuenthe yeer schal be sabat of the erthe of the restyng of the Lord;
5 遺落自長的莊稼不可收割；沒有修理的葡萄樹也不可摘取葡萄。這年，地要守聖安息。
thou schalt not sowe the feeld, and thou schalt not kitte the vyner, thou schalt not repe tho thingis whiche the erthe bryngith forth `bi fre wille, and thou schalt not gadere the grapis of thi firste fruytis, as vyndage; for it is the yeer of restyng of the lond; but tho schulen be to you in to mete,
6 地在安息年所出的，要給你和你的僕人、婢女、雇工人，並寄居的外人當食物。
to thee, and to thi seruaunt, to thin handmaide, and to thin hirid man, and to the comelyng which is a pilgrym at thee; alle thingis that `comen forth,
7 這年的土產也要給你的牲畜和你地上的走獸當食物。」
schulen yyue mete to thi werk beestis and smale beestis.
8 「你要計算七個安息年，就是七七年。這便為你成了七個安息年，共是四十九年。
Also thou schalt noumbre to thee seuene woukis of yeeris, that is, seuene sithes seuene, whiche togidere maken nyn and fourti yeer;
9 當年七月初十日，你要大發角聲；這日就是贖罪日，要在遍地發出角聲。
and thou schalt sowne with a clarioun in the seuenthe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, in the tyme of propiciacioun, `that is, merci, in al youre lond.
10 第五十年，你們要當作聖年，在遍地給一切的居民宣告自由。這年必為你們的禧年，各人要歸自己的產業，各歸本家。
And thou schalt halewe the fiftithe yeer, and thou schalt clepe remissioun to alle the dwellers of thi lond; for thilke yeer is iubilee; a man schal turne ayen to hys possessioun, and ech man schal go ayen to the firste meynee,
11 第五十年要作為你們的禧年。這年不可耕種；地中自長的，不可收割；沒有修理的葡萄樹也不可摘取葡萄。
for it is iubilee, and the fiftithe yeer. Ye schulen not sowe, nether ye schulen repe thingis, that comen forth freli in the feeld, and ye schulen not gadere the firste fruytis of vyndage, for the halewyng of iubilee;
12 因為這是禧年，你們要當作聖年，吃地中自出的土產。
but anoon ye schulen ete thingis takun awey;
13 「這禧年，你們各人要歸自己的地業。
in the yeer of iubilee alle men go ayen to her possessiouns.
14 你若賣甚麼給鄰舍，或是從鄰舍的手中買甚麼，彼此不可虧負。
Whanne thou schalt sille ony thing to thi citeseyn, ether schalt bie of hym, make thou not sory thi brother, but bi the noumbre of `yeeris of iubile thou schalt bie of him,
15 你要按禧年以後的年數向鄰舍買；他也要按年數的收成賣給你。
and bi the rekenyng of fruytis he schal sille to thee.
16 年歲若多，要照數加添價值；年歲若少，要照數減去價值，因為他照收成的數目賣給你。
Bi as myche as mo yeeris dwellen after the iubilee, by so myche also the prijs schal encreesse, and bi as myche as thou noumbrist lesse of tyme, bi so myche and the biyng schal cost lesse; for he schal sille to thee the time of fruytis.
17 你們彼此不可虧負，只要敬畏你們的上帝，因為我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
Nyle ye turment men of youre lynagis, but ech man drede his God; for Y am youre Lord God.
18 「我的律例，你們要遵行，我的典章，你們要謹守，就可以在那地上安然居住。
Do ye my comaundementis, and kepe ye my domes, and fille ye tho, that ye moun dwelle in his lond without ony drede,
19 地必出土產，你們就要吃飽，在那地上安然居住。
and that the erthe brynge forth hise fruytis to you, whiche ye schulen ete `til to fulnesse, and drede not the assailyng of ony man.
20 你們若說：『這第七年我們不耕種，也不收藏土產，吃甚麼呢？』
That if ye seien, what schulen we ete in the seuenthe yeer, if we sowen not, nether gaderen oure fruytis?
21 我必在第六年將我所命的福賜給你們，地便生三年的土產。
Y schal yyue my blessyng to you in the sixte yeer, and it schal make fruytis of three yeer;
22 第八年，你們要耕種，也要吃陳糧，等到第九年出產收來的時候，你們還吃陳糧。」
and ye schulen sowe in the eiyte yeer, and ye schulen ete elde fruytis `til to the nynthe yeer; til newe thingis comen forth ye schulen ete the elde thingis.
23 「地不可永賣，因為地是我的；你們在我面前是客旅，是寄居的。
Also the lond schal not be seeld `in to with outen ende, for it is myn, and ye ben my comelyngis and tenauntis;
24 在你們所得為業的全地，也要准人將地贖回。
wherfor al the cuntre of youre possessioun schal be seeld vndur the condicioun of ayenbiyng.
25 你的弟兄若漸漸窮乏，賣了幾分地業，他至近的親屬就要來把弟兄所賣的贖回。
If thi brother is maad pore, and sillith his litil possessioun, and his nyy kynesman wole, he may ayenbie that that he seelde;
26 若沒有能給他贖回的，他自己漸漸富足，能夠贖回，
sotheli if he hath no nyy kynesman, and he may fynde prijs to ayenbie,
27 就要算出賣地的年數，把餘剩年數的價值還那買主，自己便歸回自己的地業。
the fruytis schulen be rekynyd fro that tyme in which he seelde, and he schal yelde `that that is residue to the biere, and he schal resseyue so his possessioun.
28 倘若不能為自己得回所賣的，仍要存在買主的手裏直到禧年；到了禧年，地業要出買主的手，自己便歸回自己的地業。
That if his hond fynde not, that he yelde the prijs, the biere schal haue that that he bouyte, `til to the yeer of iubilee; for in that yeer ech sillyng schal go ayen to the lord, and to the firste weldere.
29 「人若賣城內的住宅，賣了以後，一年之內可以贖回；在一整年，必有贖回的權柄。
He that sillith his hows, with ynne the wallis of a citee, schal haue licence to ayenbie til o yeer be fillid;
30 若在一整年之內不贖回，這城內的房屋就定准永歸買主，世世代代為業；在禧年也不得出買主的手。
if he ayenbieth not, and the sercle of the yeer is passid, the biere schal welde it, and his eiris `in to with outen ende, and it schal not mow be ayenbouyt, ye, in the iubilee.
31 但房屋在無城牆的村莊裏，要看如鄉下的田地一樣，可以贖回；到了禧年，都要出買主的手。
Forsothe if the hows is in a town `that hath not wallis, it schal be seeld bi the lawe of feeldis; sotheli if it is not ayenbouyt in the iubilee, it schal turne ayen to `his lord.
32 然而利未人所得為業的城邑，其中的房屋，利未人可以隨時贖回。
The howsis of dekenes, that ben in citees, moun euer be ayenbouyt; if tho ben not ayenbouyt,
33 若是一個利未人不將所賣的房屋贖回，是在所得為業的城內，到了禧年就要出買主的手，因為利未人城邑的房屋是他們在以色列人中的產業。
tho schulen turne ayen in the iubilee `to the lordis; for the `howsis of the citees of dekenes ben for possessiouns among the sones of Israel;
34 只是他們各城郊野之地不可賣，因為是他們永遠的產業。」
forsothe the suburbabis of hem schulen not be seeld, for it is euerlastynge possessioun.
35 「你的弟兄在你那裏若漸漸貧窮，手中缺乏，你就要幫補他，使他與你同住，像外人和寄居的一樣。
If thi brother is maad pore, and feble in power, and thou resseyuest hym as a comelyng and pilgrym, and he lyueth with thee,
36 不可向他取利，也不可向他多要；只要敬畏你的上帝，使你的弟兄與你同住。
take thou not vsuris of hym, nether more than thou hast youe; drede thou thi God, that thi brothir mai lyue anentis thee.
37 你借錢給他，不可向他取利；借糧給他，也不可向他多要。
Thou schalt not yyue to hym thi money to vsure, and thou schalt not axe ouer `aboundaunce, ether encrees ouer of fruytis;
38 我是耶和華－你們的上帝，曾領你們從埃及地出來，為要把迦南地賜給你們，要作你們的上帝。」
Y am youre Lord God, that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde yyue to you the lond of Canaan, and that Y schulde be youre God.
39 「你的弟兄若在你那裏漸漸窮乏，將自己賣給你，不可叫他像奴僕服事你。
If thi brother compellid bi pouert sillith hym silf to thee, thou schalt not oppresse hym bi seruage of seruauntis,
40 他要在你那裏像雇工人和寄居的一樣，要服事你直到禧年。
but he schal be as an hirid man and tenaunt; `til to the yeer of iubilee he schal worche at thee,
41 到了禧年，他和他兒女要離開你，一同出去歸回本家，到他祖宗的地業那裏去。
and aftirward he schal go out with his fre children, and he schal turne ayen to the kynrede, and to `the possessioun of his fadris.
42 因為他們是我的僕人，是我從埃及地領出來的，不可賣為奴僕。
For thei ben my seruauntis, and Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt; thei schulen not be seeld bi the condicioun of seruauntis;
43 不可嚴嚴地轄管他，只要敬畏你的上帝。
turmente thou not hem bi thi power, but drede thou thi Lord.
44 至於你的奴僕、婢女，可以從你四圍的國中買。
A seruaunt and handmaide be to you of naciouns that ben in youre cumpas,
45 並且那寄居在你們中間的外人和他們的家屬，在你們地上所生的，你們也可以從其中買人；他們要作你們的產業。
and of comelyngis that ben pilgrimys at you, ether thei that ben borun of hem in youre lond; ye schulen haue these seruauntis,
46 你們要將他們遺留給你們的子孫為產業，要永遠從他們中間揀出奴僕；只是你們的弟兄以色列人，你們不可嚴嚴地轄管。
and bi riyt of eritage ye schulen `sende ouer to aftir comeris, and ye schulen welde with outen ende; sothely oppresse ye not bi power youre britheren, the sones of Israel.
47 「住在你那裏的外人，或是寄居的，若漸漸富足，你的弟兄卻漸漸窮乏，將自己賣給那外人，或是寄居的，或是外人的宗族，
If the hond of a comelyng and of a pilgrim wexith strong at you, and thi brother is maad pore, and sillith hym silf to hym,
48 賣了以後，可以將他贖回。無論是他的弟兄，
ether to ony of his kyn, he may be ayenbouyt aftir the sillyng; he that wole of hise britheren, ayenbie hym; bothe `the brother of fadir,
49 或伯叔、伯叔的兒子，本家的近支，都可以贖他。他自己若漸漸富足，也可以自贖。
and the sone of `the fadris brother, and kynesman, and alye. Ellis if also he schal mow, he schal ayenbie hym silf,
50 他要和買主計算，從賣自己的那年起，算到禧年；所賣的價值照着年數多少，好像工人每年的工價。
while the yeeris ben rykenid oneli fro the tyme of his sillyng `til in to the yeer of iubylee; and while the money, for which he was seeld, is rikenyd bi the noumbre of yeeris, and while the hire of an hirid man is rikenyd.
51 若缺少的年數多，就要按着年數從買價中償還他的贖價。
If mo yeeris ben that dwellen `til to the iubilee, bi these yeeris he schal yelde also the prijs; if fewe yeeris ben,
52 若到禧年只缺少幾年，就要按着年數和買主計算，償還他的贖價。
he schal sette rikenyng with hym bi the noumbre of yeeris;
53 他和買主同住，要像每年雇的工人，買主不可嚴嚴地轄管他。
and he schal yeelde to the biere that that is residue of yeeris, while tho yeeris, bi whiche he seruyde bifore, ben rikenyd for hiris; he schal not turmente `that Ebreu violentli in thi siyt.
54 他若不這樣被贖，到了禧年，要和他的兒女一同出去。
That if he may not be ayenbouyt bi this, he schal go out with his free children in the `yeer of iubilee; for the sones of Israel ben myn seruauntis,
55 因為以色列人都是我的僕人，是我從埃及地領出來的。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
whiche Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt.
