Levitski zakonik 25
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju na Sinajskom brdu:
The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 “Govori Izraelcima i kaži im: Kad uđete u zemlju koju vam dajem, neka ta zemlja održava Jahvin subotni počinak.
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD.
3 Šest godina zasijavaj svoju njivu, šest godina svoj vinograd obrezuj i beri njegov plod.
You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in its fruits;
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 there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Što samo od sebe uzraste na tvojoj njivi nemoj žeti niti beri grožđe s neobrezane loze. Neka to bude zemlji godina počivanja.
What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and you shall not gather the grapes of your undressed vine. 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;
The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
7 a i tvojoj stoci i zvjeradi u tvojoj zemlji neka njezini plodovi služe za hranu.”
For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
8 “Nabroj sedam sedmica takvih godina, sedam puta sedam godina. Sedam sedmica godina iznosit će ti četrdeset devet godina.
“‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even 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 you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet 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!
You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to 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.
That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from 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 to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
13 Te jubilejske godine neka se svatko vrati na svoju očevinu.
“‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14 Zato, kad prodajete imanje svome sunarodnjaku ili kupujete od svoga sunarodnjaka, nemojte nanositi štete svome bratu!
“‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you 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 you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
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 length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.
17 Neka nitko od vas ne nanosi štete svome sunarodnjaku, nego se boj Boga svoga! Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your 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.
“‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 Zemlja će davati svoj rod, jest ćete do sitosti i živjet ćete u sigurnosti.
The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 Ako biste rekli: 'Čime ćemo se hraniti te sedme godine kad ne budemo ni sijali ni brali plodova?'
If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall 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 on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit 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.”
You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits from the old store until the ninth year. Until its fruits come in, you 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.
“‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
24 Zato u svakome kraju gdje imate zemljišne posjede morate dopustiti otkupljivanje zemlje.
In all the land of your possession you 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 your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.
26 Ako nema koga da mu ga otkupi, a poslije i sam postane imućan te stekne sredstva da je otkupi,
If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds 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 reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.
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 isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
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.
“‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall 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.
If it isn’t 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 who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released 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 around them shall be accounted for with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Kuće koje u levitskim gradovima pripadaju levitima mogu leviti otkupiti u svako vrijeme.
“‘Nevertheless, in the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem the houses in the cities of their possession at any time.
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.
The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released 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 field of the pasture lands of their cities may 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.
“‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself among you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.
36 Ne uzimaj od njega ni lihve ni kamata. Boga se svoga boj, i neka tvoj brat živi s tobom!
Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live among you.
37 Ne uzajmljuj mu novac na kamate niti mu lihvarski davaj svoju hranu.
You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
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 out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and 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.
“‘If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
40 Neka služi kod tebe do jubilejske godine.
As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until 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 he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
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 out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43 Nemoj s njim grubo postupati! Boga se svoga boj!
You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
44 A robove i ropkinje, budeš li ih htio imati, možete kupiti, i muške i ženske, od naroda koji su oko vas.
“‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
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 aliens who live among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
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.
You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession. Of them you may take your slaves forever, but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
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,
“‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger’s family,
48 on ima pravo i nakon prodaje biti otkupljen. Neka ga otkupi netko od njegove braće;
after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers 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 who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown 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.
He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; he shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.
51 Ako ostaje još mnogo godina, neka isplati za svoju otkupninu u omjeru svoje prodajne svote.
If there are yet many years, according to 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.
If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall 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 harshness over him in your sight.
54 Ne bude li iskupljen ovako, onda i on i njegova djeca s njim neka odu u jubilejskoj godini.
If he isn’t redeemed by these means, then he shall be released 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 to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
