< Levitski zakonik 25 >
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju na Sinajskom brdu:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 “Govori Izraelcima i kaži im: Kad uđete u zemlju koju vam dajem, neka ta zemlja održava Jahvin subotni počinak.
Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I will give you, the land shall celebrate a sabbath to Jehovah.
3 Šest godina zasijavaj svoju njivu, šest godina svoj vinograd obrezuj i beri njegov plod.
Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof,
4 Ali sedme godine neka i zemlja uživa subotnji počinak, Jahvinu subotu: svoje njive ne zasijavaj niti obrezuj svoga vinograda.
but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. Thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.
5 Što samo od sebe uzraste na tvojoj njivi nemoj žeti niti beri grožđe s neobrezane loze. Neka to bude zemlji godina počivanja.
That which springeth up from the scattered seed of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thine undressed vines thou shalt not gather: a year of rest shall it be for the land.
6 Zemljišni počinak neka vam priskrbi prehranu: tebi, tvome sluzi, tvojoj sluškinji, tvome najamniku koji s tobom živi;
And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you, for thee, and for thy bondman, and for thy handmaid, and for thy hired servant, and for him that dwelleth as a sojourner with thee, and for thy cattle,
7 a i tvojoj stoci i zvjeradi u tvojoj zemlji neka njezini plodovi služe za hranu.”
and for the beasts that are in thy land: all the produce thereof shall be for food.
8 “Nabroj sedam sedmica takvih godina, sedam puta sedam godina. Sedam sedmica godina iznosit će ti četrdeset devet godina.
And thou shalt count seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; so that the days of the seven sabbaths of years be unto thee forty-nine years.
9 A onda zaori u trubu! U sedmome mjesecu, desetoga dana toga mjeseca, na Dan pomirenja, zatrubite u trubu širom svoje zemlje.
Then shalt thou cause the loud sound of the trumpet to go forth in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement shall ye cause the trumpet to go forth throughout your land.
10 Tu pedesetu godinu proglasite svetom! Zemljom proglasite oslobađanje svim njezinim stanovnicima. To neka vam bude jubilej, oprosna godina. Neka se svatko vaš vrati na svoju očevinu; neka se svatko vrati k svome rodu!
And ye shall hallow the year of the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; a [year of] jubilee shall it be unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family;
11 Ta pedesetogodišnjica neka vam je jubilejska godina: nemojte sijati, nemojte žeti što samo od sebe uzraste niti berite grožđe s neobrezane loze.
a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather [the fruit of] its undressed vines.
12 Jer jubilej vam mora biti svet! Hranite se onim što njiva donese od sebe.
For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.
13 Te jubilejske godine neka se svatko vrati na svoju očevinu.
In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14 Zato, kad prodajete imanje svome sunarodnjaku ili kupujete od svoga sunarodnjaka, nemojte nanositi štete svome bratu!
And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.
15 Od svoga sunarodnjaka kupuj, odbivši samo broj godina poslije jubileja, a on neka ti proda prema broju proizvodnih godina.
According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.
16 Što više godina, više i cijenu povisi; što manje godina, neka je i cijena manja. Jer, ono što ti on prodaje jest broj ljetina.
According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.
17 Neka nitko od vas ne nanosi štete svome sunarodnjaku, nego se boj Boga svoga! Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.
18 Vršite moje zakone i moje naredbe; vjerno ih provodite u djelo pa ćete u sigurnosti živjeti na zemlji.
And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.
19 Zemlja će davati svoj rod, jest ćete do sitosti i živjet ćete u sigurnosti.
And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.
20 Ako biste rekli: 'Čime ćemo se hraniti te sedme godine kad ne budemo ni sijali ni brali plodova?'
And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;
21 evo, blagoslov ću svoj pustiti na vas: šesta godina rodom će roditi za tri godine.
then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;
22 Kad budete sijali osme godine, hranit ćete se starim prihodom sve do devete godine; dok ne dođe njezin prihod, jest ćete stari.”
and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.
23 “Zemlja se ne smije prodati potpuno, jer zemlja pripada meni, dok ste vi samo stranci i gosti kod mene.
And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Zato u svakome kraju gdje imate zemljišne posjede morate dopustiti otkupljivanje zemlje.
And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 Ako tvoj brat zapadne u škripac te moradne prodati dio svoje očevine, neka dođe njegov najbliži izbavitelj i otkupi što je njegov brat prodao.
If thy brother grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother sold.
26 Ako nema koga da mu ga otkupi, a poslije i sam postane imućan te stekne sredstva da je otkupi,
And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,
27 neka prebroji godine od prodaje, isplati kupcu svotu za preostalo vrijeme i vrati se na svoju očevinu.
then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.
28 Ako nema sredstava da je vrati, onda prodano neka ostane u rukama kupca do jubilejske godine. A stupivši u jubilej, neka se vrati na svoju očevinu.
And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29 Ako tko proda stojnu kuću u gradu zidom obzidanu, može je otkupiti dokle se ne navrši godina poslije prodaje; otkupni rok neka je, dakle, jedna godina.
And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.
30 Ako je ne otkupi u roku od godine, onda kuća u gradu zidom opasana prelazi potpuno kupcu i njegovim potomcima: ni za jubileja neka se ne vraća.
But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, 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 jubilee.
31 Ali kuće po selima što nemaju zidova oko sebe neka se smatraju kao posjedi u polju; mogu se otkupljivati. U jubileju kupac mora iz njih izići.
But the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
32 Kuće koje u levitskim gradovima pripadaju levitima mogu leviti otkupiti u svako vrijeme.
But as to the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.
33 Ako se koji levit ne posluži svojim pravom otkupa, onda će kuća što bude prodana u gradu njegova vlasništva biti za jubileja vraćena. Jer kod Izraelaca kuće u gradovima levita njihovo su vlasništvo.
And if any one redeem from one of the Levites, then the house that was sold, in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 Neograđena zemlja oko njihovih gradova ne može se prodati, jer je ona njihovo vlasništvo za sva vremena.”
And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 “Ako tvoj brat zapadne u škripac i ne mogne održavati svoje odnose s tobom, primi ga; i neka s tobom živi kao stranac ili gost.
And if thy brother grow poor, and he be fallen into decay beside thee, then thou shalt relieve him, [be he] stranger or sojourner, that he may live beside thee.
36 Ne uzimaj od njega ni lihve ni kamata. Boga se svoga boj, i neka tvoj brat živi s tobom!
Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee.
37 Ne uzajmljuj mu novac na kamate niti mu lihvarski davaj svoju hranu.
Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38 Ja, Jahve, Bog vaš, izbavio sam vas iz zemlje egipatske da vam dadem zemlju kanaansku i budem vaš Bog.
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
39 Ako li tvoj brat padne u škripac dok je s tobom u urednim odnosima te se moradne tebi prodati, nemoj ga prisiliti da služi kao rob; neka bude kod tebe kao najamnik ili nadničar.
And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 Neka služi kod tebe do jubilejske godine.
as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee.
41 Onda neka bude slobodan da ode od tebe - i on i njegova djeca s njim; neka ide natrag svome rodu i opet zaposjedne svoju djedovinu.
Then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 TÓa oni su moji službenici, ja sam ih izbavio iz zemlje egipatske; oni se ne smiju prodavati kao robovi.
For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as [men] sell bondmen.
43 Nemoj s njim grubo postupati! Boga se svoga boj!
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.
44 A robove i ropkinje, budeš li ih htio imati, možete kupiti, i muške i ženske, od naroda koji su oko vas.
And as for thy bondman and thy handmaid whom thou shalt have — of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and handmaids.
45 Možete ih kupovati i od pridošlica koji s vama borave; od njihovih obitelji što žive s vama i rođeni su u vašoj zemlji. Takvi mogu postati vašim vlasništvom.
Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession.
46 Njih možete predati u nasljedstvo svojoj djeci da ih zavazda naslijede u baštinu. Prema njima možete postupati kao prema robovima. Ali prema svojoj braći, Izraelcima, nitko ne smije grubo postupati.
And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour.
47 Ako se stranac s tobom nastanjen obogati, a tvoj brat, u svojim odnosima prema njemu, zapadne u škripac te se proda strancu koji je s tobom nastanjen ili kojemu god potomku strančeve obitelji,
And if a stranger or sojourner become wealthy beside thee, and thy brother beside him grow poor, and sell himself unto the stranger, who is settled by thee, or to a scion of the stranger's family,
48 on ima pravo i nakon prodaje biti otkupljen. Neka ga otkupi netko od njegove braće;
after that he is sold there shall be right of redemption for him; one of his brethren may redeem him.
49 ili neka ga otkupi njegov stric, njegov rođak ili bilo tko od njegove obitelji koji bude od njegove krvi. Ili, ako ima sredstava, neka se sam otkupi.
Either his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him, or one of his next relations of his family may redeem him; or if his means be sufficient, he may redeem himself.
50 Sa svojim kupcem neka proračuna vrijeme od godine kad mu se prodao do jubilejske godine. Cijena za njegovo oslobođenje neka bude prema broju godina. Vrijeme što ga je proveo sa svojim vlasnikom neka se procijeni kao vrijeme jednog najamnika.
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of a hired servant shall he be with him.
51 Ako ostaje još mnogo godina, neka isplati za svoju otkupninu u omjeru svoje prodajne svote.
If there are yet many years, according unto them shall he return his redemption [money] out of the money that he was bought for;
52 A ako ostaje samo nekoliko godina do jubilejske godine, neka izračuna pa isplati za svoj otkup prema godinama službe.
and if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his [remaining] years [of service] shall he give him back his redemption [money].
53 Prema njemu neka bude kao prema najamniku koji se iznajmljuje od godine na godinu. Neka se na tvoje oči s njim ne postupa grubo.
As a hired servant shall he be with him year by year; [his master] shall not rule with rigour over him before thine eyes.
54 Ne bude li iskupljen ovako, onda i on i njegova djeca s njim neka odu u jubilejskoj godini.
And if he be not redeemed in this manner, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him.
55 Jer Izraelci su moji službenici; oni su moji službenici koje sam ja izveo iz zemlje egipatske, ja, Jahve, Bog vaš.”
For the children of Israel are servants unto me; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
