Tim Jo-Lawi 25

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa ewi Got Sinai niya,

And the Lord 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 to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.

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

Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits 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 there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

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

What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to 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,

But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:

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

All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.

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

Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make 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.

And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all 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 thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former 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.

Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,

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

Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.

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

In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.

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

When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.

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.

And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.

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.

The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.

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

Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

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

Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,

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

And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.

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

But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?

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

I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of 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 the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.

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

The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.

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

For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.

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

If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.

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

But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:

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.

The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.

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.

But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.

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.

He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:

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.

If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even 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 if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.

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

The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:

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.

If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.

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

But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a 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.

If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,

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

Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.

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

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.

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

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.

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

If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:

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

But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,

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

And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,

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

For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:

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

Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.

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

Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.

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

And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:

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 by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.

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,

If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:

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

After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall 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, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall 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.

Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,

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

If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.

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

If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,

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

His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.

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

And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.

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 my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
