Tim Jo-Lawi 25

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa ewi Got Sinai niya,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

2 Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo inyisgi ni: Ka gichopo e piny mabiro miyogi, to pinyno nyaka rit Sabato mar Jehova Nyasaye.

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 Kuom higni auchiel oyienu pidho cham e puotheu, gi loso tiend yiendeu mag mzabibu kendo oyienu kayo chambu kendo pono olembeu.

Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof,

4 To kochopo higa mar abiriyo to puodho nyaka yud yweyo mar Sabato, ma en Sabato mar Jehova Nyasaye. E higano lowo nyaka yud yweyo ma kik upidh gimoro amora e puotheu mag cham gi mag mzabibu.

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 E higano kik uka orowe kata kik upon mzabibu monyak kendgi e yien mane ok uloso, nikech en higa ma piny yweyoe.

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 To gimoro amora ma piny nochiegnu e hik Sabato nobed mar chiembu, chiemb jotichu machwo gi mamon kaachiel gi jotichu mamoko, kod welo molimou kuma udakie kuom ndalo machwok,

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 kendo nobed mar jambu gi le manie pinyu. Gimoro amora ma piny ochiego inyalo cham.

and for the beasts that are in thy land: all the produce thereof shall be for food.

8 Waluru Sabato abiriyo mag higni abiriyo nyadibiriyo, tiendeni higni piero angʼwen gochiko.

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 Eka gouru turumbete kamoro amora e odiechiengʼ mar apar mar dwe mar abiriyo, kendo Odiechieng Pwodhruokno gouru turumbete e gwengeu duto.

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 Waluru higa mar piero abich, kendo ugo milome e piny duto ni en higa ma joma otwe igonyo iweyogi gibedo thuolo. Enobed hiku mar mor; ngʼato ka ngʼato nodog thurgi ir joode kendo ir anywolane.

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 Higa mar piero abichno nobednu uduto hik mor, kik upidhe cham, kendo kik ukaye orowe, kata kik uponie mzabibu monyak kende e yien mane ok uloso.

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 Nimar en higa mar piero abich, kendo mosewalnu maler ni Jehova Nyasaye, nyaka ucham gik monyak e puothe.

For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.

13 E higani mar piero abich nyaka ngʼato ka ngʼato odog thurgi.

In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

14 E higani ka ngʼato ongʼiewo lop wadgi to kik wuond moro bedie kindgi.

And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.

15 Ka ingʼiewo lop wadu nyaka ikwan higni kochakore e higa mar piero abich mokadho. Nyaka oket nengo lopno mana maromre gi higni ma pod ibiro keyoe.

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 Ka hignigo ngʼeny to nyaka imed nengo, to ka higni nok, to nyaka idwok nengo piny, nikech gima ingʼiewo kuome en mana cham mibiro kayo.

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 Kik ngʼat maa nyawadgi, to luoruru Nyasachu. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.

And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.

18 Rituru buchena kendo une ni uluwo chikena, eka mondo udag gi kwe e pinyno.

And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.

19 Mano eka lowo nochiegnu cham kendo nuchiem ma uyiengʼ mi unudagi gi kwe.

And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.

20 Kapo upenjo niya, “Angʼo ma wabiro chamo e higa mar abiriyo ka ok wachwoyo, kata ka ok wakeyo?”

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

21 To anadwoku kama: Anaolnu gweth mogundho e higa mar auchiel, kendo puotheu nochieg cham moromou chamo nyaka bangʼ higni adek.

then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;

22 E kinde ma uchwoyo e higa mar aboro to unubed mana kapod uchamo cham machon nyaka chop ubed gi keyo e higa mar ochiko.

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 Kik ngʼato usne wadgi lowo chuth, nikech lowo en mara, un to un mana joma amiyo lowo kaka wenda kendo jodak.

And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

24 E pinyu kamoro amora mudakie, nyaka uyie mondo puodho mane oseusi mondo owar.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

25 Ka wadu moro dhier omako ma ouso lope, to nyaka wadgi moro tem matek kendo owarne lopeno.

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 To ka ngʼato onge gi watne manyalo warone lowo, to kata en owuon ndalo moyudo pesa onyalo ware,

And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,

27 kendo enokwan chakre higni mane ouse lopeno, kendo chulo ngʼatno pesa moromo gi higni ma pod odongʼ nyaka chop higa mar mor, eka koro oyiene kawo lopno obed mare kendo.

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 To ka ok onyal waro lopeno, to lopno nosik e lwet ngʼat mane ongʼiewocha nyaka chop higa mar piero abich. To kochopo higa mar morno to nowe lowo odogni wuon mare machon, kendo wuon-gi nokawe.

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 Ka ngʼato oyie mi wadgi ongʼiewo ode mar dak manie dala mochiel motegno gi ohinga, to oyiene mana mar ware ka higa achiel pok orumo nyaka ne ngʼiewe. Higano mangima en gi thuolo mar ware.

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 Ka ok oware ka higa pok orumo, to odno mantiere ei ohinga mochiel motegnono mar dala maduongʼ nosik mana kobedo mar ngʼat mane ongʼiewecha, kaachiel gi nyikwaye kod kothe duto nyaka chiengʼ. Kata kochopo higa mar piero abich to ok nodwoke e lwet wuon machon.

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 To udi moger e mier ma ok ochiel gi ohinga nokwan mana kaka ikwano lowo. Ginto gin gik minyalo waro, maka ochopo higa mar piero abich to nyaka dwokgi e lwet wegi.

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 Jo-Lawi nigi thuolo kinde duto mar waro utegi manie miechgi.

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 Ka ja-Lawi moro ok owaro ode manie dalagi, to odni nyaka duogne e higa mar piero abich, nikech udi manie miech joka Lawi e mwandu kende ma gin godo e piny Israel.

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 To puothe mag lek mag joka Lawi ok nyal usi, nikech mano en mwandugi nyaka chiengʼ.

And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

35 Ka ja-Israel wadu moro obedo modhier e dieru, to nyaka ukonye mana kaka ukonyo jadak kata wendo molimou kuma udakie kuom ndalo machwok mondo omi osik kodak kodu.

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 Kik ukaw ohala moro amora kuome, to daguru kode kuluoro Nyasachu.

Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee.

37 Kik uhole pesa mondo uyudie ohala, kendo kik ukaw ohala kuom chiemo ma uhole.

Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

38 An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mane ogolou e piny Misri momiyou piny Kanaan kendo mondo abed Nyasachu.

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 Ka wadu odhier kendo ochiwore mondo ingʼiewe, to kik ikete otini ka misumba.

And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

40 To dag kode kaka jatich michulo kata kaka wendo modak kodi, kendo obiro tiyoni nyaka chop higa mar piero abich.

as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee.

41 Eka bangʼe noa iri en kaachiel gi nyithinde, kendo odogi ir joodgi owuon kendo e lop kwerene.

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 Nikech jo-Israel gin wasumbiniga mane agolo an awuon e piny Misri, ok onego ngʼiewgi kaka wasumbini.

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 Kik isand ja-Israel wadu kata matin, to iluor Nyasachi.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.

44 Wasumbini magu machwo kata mamon, unyalo mana ngʼiewo koa ir ogendini mukiewogo.

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 To bende un gi thuolo mar ngʼiewo nyithind jodak manie dieru, kaachiel gi joma ginywolo e dieru, makoro ginibed mwandu magu uwegi,

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 Bangʼ ka usetho to unuwegi ni yawuotu kaka girkeni kendo ginibed wasumbini mag-gi nyaka chiengʼ, makmana ni jo-Israel weteu to kik usandi.

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 Ka jadak moro manie dieru kata wendo oyudo mwandu mi obedo jamoko, to wadu moro to obedo modhier, mi ongʼiewe gi jadak modak e dieru kata anywola jadakno,

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 to en giratiro mondo oware bangʼ ka osengʼiewe. Achiel kuom wedene nyalo ware.

after that he is sold there shall be right of redemption for him; one of his brethren may redeem him.

49 Ngʼatni nyalo bedo owad gi wuon, kata wuod wuon kata mana watne moro amora e anywolane. To en bende kobedo ja-mwandu to onyalo warore owuon.

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 En kaachiel gi ngʼat mane ongʼieweno nyaka kwan kar romb higni chakre chiengʼ mane ongʼiewe nyaka chop higa mar piero abich. Pesa monego dwokne ngʼat mane ongʼieweno nyaka bed maromre gi pok ma dine ngʼatno ondikogo jatich kuom higni ma ngʼatno osetiyogo.

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 To ka higni modongʼ ngʼeny, to noware gi chudo mamalo.

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 To kodongʼ gi higni manok mondo ochop e higa mar piero abich, to noware gi chudo ma piny.

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 Ngʼatni nyaka riti kaka jatich mondiki kendo ngʼat mane ongʼiewe ok oyiene mondo osande.

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 Ka ngʼatno ok owar e achiel kuom yorego, to en kaachiel gi nyithinde noweye thuolo e higa mar piero abich,

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 nikech jo-Israel gin wasumbini maga. Gin wasumbini maga mane agolo e piny Misri. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.

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.
