Tim Jo-Lawi 25

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa ewi Got Sinai niya,

And the LORD spake unto 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 which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto 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 gather in 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 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 E higano kik uka orowe kata kik upon mzabibu monyak kendgi e yien mane ok uloso, nikech en higa ma piny yweyoe.

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 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 servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourn with thee;

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

and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

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

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

Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout 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 ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile 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 jubile 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 Nimar en higa mar piero abich, kendo mosewalnu maler ni Jehova Nyasaye, nyaka ucham gik monyak e puothe.

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

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

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

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

And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not wrong 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 after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops 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 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 the crops doth he sell unto thee.

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

And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

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

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

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

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

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

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

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

And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; 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 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 To ka ngʼato onge gi watne manyalo warone lowo, to kata en owuon ndalo moyudo pesa onyalo ware,

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

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 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 he be not able 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 jubile: and in the jubile 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 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 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.

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 jubile.

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 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 jubile.

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

Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

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 one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubile: 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.

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may 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 be waxen poor, and his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: [as] a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with thee.

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

Take thou no usury of him or increase; but 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 give 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 the LORD your God, which 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 be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make 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 an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubile:

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

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

For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

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

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

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

And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

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

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

after that he is sold he may be redeemed; 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.

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 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 sold himself to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of an hired servant shall he be with him.

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

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 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 jubile, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption.

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

As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigour over him 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 he be not redeemed by these [means], then he shall go out in the year of jubile, 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 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.
