Levitski zakonik 25

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju na Sinajskom brdu:

And the LORD spoke unto 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 which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

3 Šest godina zasijavaj svoju njivu, šest godina svoj vinograd obrezuj i beri njegov plod.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt 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 solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD; thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

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 groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather; it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

6 Zemljišni počinak neka vam priskrbi prehranu: tebi, tvome sluzi, tvojoj sluškinji, tvome najamniku koji s tobom živi;

And the sabbath-produce of the land shall be for food for you: for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for the settler by thy side that sojourn with thee;

7 a i tvojoj stoci i zvjeradi u tvojoj zemlji neka njezini plodovi služe za hranu.”

and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof 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 number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and 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 make proclamation with the blast of the horn on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye make proclamation with the horn throughout all 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 fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee 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 jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the undressed vines.

12 Jer jubilej vam mora biti svet! Hranite se onim što njiva donese od sebe.

For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

13 Te jubilejske godine neka se svatko vrati na svoju očevinu.

In this year of 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 thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not wrong 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 after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the crops 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 multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of crops doth he sell 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 wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the LORD your God.

18 Vršite moje zakone i moje naredbe; vjerno ih provodite u djelo pa ćete u sigurnosti živjeti na zemlji.

Wherefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

19 Zemlja će davati svoj rod, jest ćete do sitosti i živjet ćete u sigurnosti.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat until ye have enough, and dwell therein in safety.

20 Ako biste rekli: 'Čime ćemo se hraniti te sedme godine kad ne budemo ni sijali ni brali plodova?'

And if ye shall say: 'What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase';

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, and it shall bring forth produce for the 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 the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; until the ninth year, until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old store.

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 in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and settlers 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 be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

26 Ako nema koga da mu ga otkupi, a poslije i sam postane imućan te stekne sredstva da je otkupi,

And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient means to redeem it;

27 neka prebroji godine od prodaje, isplati kupcu svotu za preostalo vrijeme i vrati se na svoju očevinu.

then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall 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.

But if he have not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it 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 a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; 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.

And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity 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 of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with 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 for the cities of the Levites, the houses of 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 a man purchase 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.”

But the fields of the open land about their cities may not be sold; for that 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 be waxen poor, and his means fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a stranger and a settler shall he live with thee.

36 Ne uzimaj od njega ni lihve ni kamata. Boga se svoga boj, i neka tvoj brat živi s tobom!

Take thou no interest of him or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

37 Ne uzajmljuj mu novac na kamate niti mu lihvarski davaj svoju hranu.

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give 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 the LORD 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 be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant.

40 Neka služi kod tebe do jubilejske godine.

As a hired servant, and as a settler, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee.

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 go out 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 servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.

43 Nemoj s njim grubo postupati! Boga se svoga boj!

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but 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 bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

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 the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they may 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 may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession: of them may ye take your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over 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 who is a settler with thee be waxen rich, and thy brother be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger who is a settler with thee, or to the offshoot of a stranger's family,

48 on ima pravo i nakon prodaje biti otkupljen. Neka ga otkupi netko od njegove braće;

after that he is sold he may be redeemed; 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.

or 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 waxen rich, 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 sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time 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 be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption 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 years shall he give back the price of his redemption.

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 servant hired year by year shall he be with him; he shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

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 by any of these means, 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 unto Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
