< Leviticus 25 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai. loh nangmih taengah kam paek khohmuen te na kun thil uh vaengah khohmuen. loh BOEIPA ham Sabbath te yaeh saeh.
3 For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah na misur khaw kum rhuk na hloe khuiah a thaih te bit.
4 But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
Tedae a kum rhih dongah tah khohmuen ham koiyaeh Sabbath la om saeh. BOEIPA kah Sabbath ah na khohmuen te tawn boeh. Na misur khaw hloe boeh.
5 You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
Na cang pong te at boeh. Na khohai misur khaw bit boeh. Khohmuen kah koiyaeh kum la om saeh.
6 Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
Na Khohmuen kah Sabbath vaengah tah cakok te namah ham neh na salpa ham khaw, na salnu ham khaw, na kutloh ham khaw, na taengah aka bakuep na lampah ham khaw om bitni.
7 and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
Na khohmuen kah na rhamsa neh mulhing loh a caak ham khaw a thaih boeih om ni.
8 And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
Te dongah kum rhih kum rhih kah Sabbath voei rhih tae lamtah voei rhih a cup phoeikah kum sawmli pako vaengah Sabbath kum la om saeh.
9 Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.
Hla rhih dongkah hlasae hnin rha vaengah tamlung neh tuki na ueng ni. Tholh dawthnah khohnin ah khaw na khohmuen boeih ah tuki na ueng ni.
10 So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.
Kum sawmnga kum te ciim uh lamtah kho khuikah khosa rhoek boeih ham sayalhnah hoe uh. Te te nangmih ham jubilee la om saeh. Hlang kah a khohut te mael lamtah hlang boeih te a huiko taengla mael uh.
11 The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
A sawmnga kum te nangmih ham jubilee kum la om saeh lamtah, lo tawn uh boeh. Te dongah amah aka pong khaw at uh boeh. Khohai kah khaw bit uh boeh.
12 For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
Tekah jubilee tah nangmih ham a cim la a om dongah khohmuen kah a thaih te na caak uh ni.
13 In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
Tekah jubilee kum vaengah hlang kah a khohut te mael uh.
14 If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
Hnoyoih te na imben taengah na yoih uh tih, na imben kut lamkah na lai atah manuca te khat neh khat vuelvaek uh thae boeh.
15 You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
Jubilee phoeikah kum na tae soah na imben kah khohmuen te na lai uh neh a vuei a thaih kum na tae soah yoi saeh.
16 You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.
A cangvuei kah a tarhing te namah taengah han yoih coeng dongah a kum loh amah tarhing ah yet tih a lainah. loh rhoeng cakhaw kum kah a tarhing te hnah pah lamtah a lainah te hnah pah.
17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
Hlang pakhat long he a imben te vuelvaek boel saeh. Tedae kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah na Pathen te rhih lah.
18 You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
Te dongah ka khosing te vai uh lamtah ka laitloeknah te ngaithuen uh. Te te na saii uh daengah ni diklai ah ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh eh.
19 Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
Diklai long khaw a thaih a paek vetih kodam la na caak ni. A khuiah khaw ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh ni.
20 Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
Tedae, “Kum rhih dongah lo ka tawn uh pawt tih ka cangvuei khaw ka khoem uh pawt koinih balae ka caak uh eh,” na ti uh oeh cakhaw,
21 But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
kai kah yoethennah he kum rhuk khuiah nangmih ham kang uen vetih kum thum ham a vuei a thaih om bitni.
22 While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
Kum rhet dongah tawn uh lamtah cang rhuem te kum ko hil ca uh. Cangah a pha duela cang rhuem te ca uh.
23 The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
Nangmih tah kai taengah yinlai neh n lampah uh dae khohmuen tah kamah taengah a ti ham dongah khohmuen te khaw yoi boeh.
24 Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
Te dongah na khohut khohmuen boeih dongah khohmuen ham tlannah khueh uh.
25 If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
Na manuca te daeng tih a khohut te a yoih atah khohmuen aka tlan ham anih neh aka yoei uh loh ham paan saeh lamtah a manuca kah hnoyoih te koep tlan saeh.
26 Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
Aka tlan ham hlang ni a. om pawt tih khohmuen a tlannah rhoeh te a kut. loh pha pawh, a dang pawt bal atah,
27 he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
a hnoyoih kah kum te tae saeh lamtah a hoei te koe a yoi thil hlang taengah thuung saeh. Te phoeiah amah khohut te lat saeh.
28 But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.
Tedae anih taengah a mael rhoeh te a kut loh a dang pawt atah a hnoyoih te aka lai kut dongah jubilee kum duela om dae saeh. Tedae jubilee vaengah hlah pah saeh lamtah amah khohut taengla mael saeh.
29 If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
Hlang. loh tolrhum khopuei vongtung khuikah im te a yoih mai ni. Tedae a yoihnah kum a thok hil a tlannah om saeh lamtah a tlannah tue te khueh saeh.
30 If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
Kum loh cup tih a thok duela a tlan pawt atah khopuei vongtung khuikah im te im aka lai neh anih kah cadilcahma taengah a ti la pai saeh lamtah jubilee vaengah khaw hlah boel saeh.
31 But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
Vongup kah im mai cakhaw a kaepvai ah vongtung a om pawt atah khohmuen lohma bangla poek uh saeh. Anih ham tlannah om saeh lamtah jubilee vaengah hlah pah saeh.
32 As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
Levi khopuei kah khopuei im tah amih kah khohut ni. Levi ham tah kumhal ah tlannah om saeh.
33 So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
Israel ca rhoek khuiah Levi rhoek long tah a khopuei neh a im bueng he amih kah a khohut la a khueh uh dongah Levi rhoek long tah tlan saeh. A khohut khopuei kah im a yoih tangtae khaw jubilee vaengah koep lat saeh.
34 But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
Tedae amih Levi khopuei kah khohmuen khocaak te tah amamih kah kumhal a khohut la a om coeng dongah yoi uh boel saeh.
35 Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
Na manuca te daeng tih nang taengah a kut a hmawn oeh atah anih te yinlai neh lampah banghui lam khaw talong lamtah namah taengah hing sak.
36 Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
Anih taeng lamkah a casai neh a pueh a kan khaw lo boeh. Na Pathen te na rhih daengah ni na manuca. loh nang taengah a hing eh.
37 You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
Anih te a casai la tangka pu boeh. Na cang khaw a pueh a kan la yoi boeh.
38 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.
Kai tah nangmih taengah Pathen la om ham neh nang taengah Kanaan khohmuen paek ham Egypt khohmuen lamkah nangmih aka doek na Pathen BOEIPA ni.
39 If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
Na taengkah na manuca te daeng tih nang taengla amah a yoih uh atah sal kah thotatnah bangla anih te thohtat sak boeh.
40 Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
Namah taengah kutloh neh lampah bangla om saeh lamtah Jubilee kum hil nang taengah thotat saeh.
41 Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
Te phoeiah amah neh a ca rhoek te nang taeng lamkah nong saeh lamtah a huiko taengla mael saeh. Te vaengah a napa kah khohut la mael saeh.
42 Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
Kamah kah sal la om ham amih te Egypt kho lamkah ka loh. Amih te sal yoih la yoi uh boel saeh.
43 You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
Anih te mangkhak la taemrhai boeh. Na Pathen te rhih lah.
44 Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
Na kaepvai namtom taeng lamkah sal, salnu na lai te tah namah taengah namah kah salnu salpa la om uh saeh.
45 You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
Nangmih loh na lai uh tih nangmih taengah aka bakuep lampah ca rhoek neh nangmih taengkah a huiko lamloh na kho kah nangmih lakliah a cun uh te khaw khohut bangla nangmih taengah om uh saeh.
46 You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.
Te dongah amih te namah phoeikah na ca rhoek taengah kumhal kah a pang khohut la pang sak lamtah thohtat sak. Tedae na manuca Israel ca rhoek khat khat neh anih kah a manuca soah mangkhak la taemrhai boeh.
47 If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,
Nang taengkah yinlai neh lampah kut long pataeng a kae vaengah a taengkah na manuca tah daeng tih na taengkah yinlai lampah taengah khaw, yinlai huiko kah a mii taengah khaw, amah a yoi uh khaming,
48 he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
a yoih uh phoeiah khaw a manuca khui lamkah khat khat long ni tlannah a khueh atah tlan saeh.
49 either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
A nupu long khaw, a nupu capa long khaw tlan saeh. A pumsa saa lamkah, amah huiko long khaw tlan saeh. A kut loh a na mak atah amah khaw tlan uh saeh.
50 He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.
Anih a yoih lamkah a lai kum te jubilee kum duela tae pah saeh. Te phoeiah a kum tarhing dongkah a khohnin vanbangla a yoih tangka te om saeh lamtah anih te kutloh bangla om saeh.
51 If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
Kum muep a ngaih pueng atah a yet tarhing la a lainah tangka dong lamkah te tlannah la pae saeh.
52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
Tedae jubilee kum duela kum cavilcavel ni a ngaih coeng atah a kum tarhing te poek pah saeh lamtah a tlannah te pae van saeh.
53 He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
Kum at phoeiah kum at kutloh bangla om saeh. Anih te na mikhmuh ah mangkhak la taemrhai boeh.
54 Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
Te tlam pataeng a tlan thai pawt atah Jubilee kum vaengah anih te a ca rhoek neh rhenten hlah saeh.
55 For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Israel ca rhoek he kamah taengah ka sal rhoek kah sal la om ham ni Egypt kho lamkah ka loh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni.
