Leviticus 25
1 Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize na ngomba Sinai:
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.
« Yebisa bana ya Isalaele mpe loba na bango: ‹ Tango bokokota na mokili oyo nakopesa bino; ezala mabele esengeli kopema, yango ekozala Saba mpo na Yawe.
3 For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
Mibu motoba, bokolona bilanga na bino mpe mibu motoba, bokobongisa bilanga na bino ya vino mpe bokobuka bambuma na yango.
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.
Kasi na mobu ya sambo, mabele esengeli kozala na bopemi, ekozala mobu ya Saba mpo na Yawe. Bokolona bilanga na bino te mpe bokobongisa bilanga na bino ya vino te, mabele esengeli kozala na Saba mpo na Yawe.
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.
Bokoki kobuka te bambuma oyo ebotaki yango moko na mbala eleki to kobuka bambuma ya vino na elanga oyo babongisa te; ekozala mobu ya bopemi mpo na mabele.
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,
Nzokande, biloko oyo mabele ekobota na mobu ya Saba, ekozala bilei na bino: yo, mowumbu na yo ya mobali, mwasi mowumbu na yo, mwana mosala na yo mpe mopaya oyo azali kovanda kati na yo
7 and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
elongo na banyama ya mboka mpe ya zamba oyo bazali kati na mokili na bino. Bosengeli kolia biloko nyonso oyo mabele ekobota.
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.
Bokotanga mibu sambo ya Saba, mbala sambo, na mibu sambo; mpe mibu sambo ya Saba ekosala mibu tuku minei na libwa.
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.
Bongo na sima, na mokolo ya zomi, na sanza ya sambo, na mokolo ya bolimbisi masumu, bokobeta kelelo na bisika nyonso kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
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.
Bokobulisa mobu ya tuku mitano mpe bokosakola, kati na mokili mobimba, kokangolama ya bavandi na yango nyonso. Ekozala mpo na bino mobu ya kosepela kokangolama na bino; moto moko na moko kati na bino akozonga na mabele na ye, na libota na ye.
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.
Mobu ya tuku mitano ekozala mobu ya kosepela kokangolama na bino: bokolona te, bokobuka te biloko oyo bilanga ekobota yango moko, mpe bokobuka te bambuma ya vino ya elanga oyo babongisa te.
12 For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
Pamba te ezali mobu ya kosepela kokangolama na bino, mpe esengeli kozala bule mpo na bino. Bokolia kaka bambuma ya bilanga.
13 In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
Na mobu yango ya kosepela kokangolama na bino, moto nyonso kati na bino akozonga na mabele na ye.
14 If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
Soki bozali koteka mabele epai ya ndeko na bino to soki bozali kosomba eloko songolo epai na ye, wana bozali bana mboka moko, tika ete moko te kati na bino akosa ndeko na ye.
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.
Okosomba epai ya ndeko na yo ya mboka, na motuya ya mbongo oyo bakokata kolanda motango ya mibu oyo eleki wuta mobu ya suka oyo bosepelaki kokangolama na bino; mpe akotekela yo na motuya ya mbongo oyo ekokatama kolanda motango ya mibu oyo ekotikala, mibu ya kobuka bambuma, kino bokoma na mobu oyo ekolanda, mobu ya kosepela kokangolama na bino.
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.
Soki mibu etikali ebele, bosengeli komatisa motuya; mpe soki mibu ezali moke, bosengeli kokitisa motuya, pamba te ezali motango ya mibu ya kobuka bambuma nde etekamaka: yango nde bakotekela yo.
17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
Tika ete moko te akosa moninga, kasi banga Nzambe na yo; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
18 You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
Bosalela bikateli na Ngai mpe botosa mibeko na Ngai, bongo bokowumela na kimia kati na mokili;
19 Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
mpe mabele ekobota mbuma na yango, bokolia mpe bokotonda mpe bokovanda na kimia.
20 Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
Bokoki kotuna: ‘Tokolia nini na mobu ya sambo soki toloni te mpe tobuki te bambuma na biso?’
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.
Nakotindela bino mapamboli mingi na mobu ya motoba mpo ete mabele ekoka kobota bambuma mingi oyo bokoki kolia mibu misato.
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.
Wana bokolona na mobu ya mwambe, bokolia nanu bambuma ya kala mpe bokokoba kolia yango kino bokobuka bambuma ya mobu ya libwa.
23 The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
Bokoki te koteka mabele mpo na libela, pamba te mabele ezali ya Ngai, mpe bino bozali bapaya mpe baleki nzela.
24 Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
Kati na mokili oyo bokozwa lokola libula, bosengeli kondima ete moto asikola mabele na ye.
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.
Soki mwana mboka moko kati na bino akomi mobola mpe ateki mabele na ye, moto moko ya libota na ye ya pembeni akoki koya kosikola oyo mwana mboka wana atekaki.
26 Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
Soki moto wana azali na ndeko te oyo akoki kosikola yango mpo na ye; mpe ye moko akomi na bozwi bongo azwi makoki ya kosikola yango;
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.
asengeli kotanga motango ya mibu wuta atekaki mabele na ye mpe akozongisa motuya ya mibu oyo etikali epai ya moto oyo asombaki yango. Boye, akoki kozongela mabele na ye.
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.
Soki azwaki te makoki ya kosikola yango, mabele oyo atekaki ekotikala na maboko ya moto oyo asombaki yango kino na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama na ye. Ekozala na mobu yango nde mabele na ye ekozongela ye mpe akokoma lisusu nkolo na yango.
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.
Soki moto ateki ndako kati na engumba oyo bazingela na bamir, azali na makoki ya kosikola yango kaka mpo na mobu moko wuta mokolo oyo atekaki yango. Ezali kaka na tango wana nde akoki kosikola yango.
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.
Soki asikoli yango te liboso ete mobu mobimba eleka, ndako oyo ezali kati na engumba oyo bazingela na bamir ekotikala libela mpo na moto oyo asombaki yango mpe mpo na bakitani na ye; bakoki te kozongisa yango na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama.
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.
Kasi bandako oyo ezali kati na bamboka oyo bazingela te na bamir pembeni-pembeni, ekozala lokola bilanga ya mboka. Bakoki kosikola yango, mpe ekozonga epai na nkolo na yango na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama.
32 As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
Balevi bazali tango nyonso na makoki ya kosikola bandako na bango, oyo ezali kati na bingumba ya Balevi.
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.
Soki Molevi ateki ndako na ye kati na bingumba ya Balevi, moto oyo asombi yango akozongisela ye yango na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama; pamba te bandako oyo ezali kati na bingumba ya Balevi ezali libula na bango ya libela kati na bana ya Isalaele.
34 But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
Kasi bilanga oyo ezali zingazinga ya bingumba ya Balevi, bakoki koteka yango te: ezali libula na bango mpo na libela.
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.
Soki moto oyo azali pembeni na yo akomi mobola mpe azali lisusu te na makoki ya komisunga; okosunga ye, azala mopaya to moleki nzela; mpo ete azala malamu pembeni na yo.
36 Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
Okoki te kozwa mileki na maboko na ye; kasi banga Nzambe na yo, mpo ete mwana mboka na yo akoka kozala malamu pembeni na yo.
37 You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
Soki odefisi ye mbongo, okosenga mileki te na oyo odefisi ye; mpe soki odefisi ye bilei, okosenga te koleka oyo opesi.
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.
Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; mpo na kopesa yo mokili ya Kanana, mpe na kozala Nzambe na yo.
39 If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
Soki ndeko na yo, mwana mboka, akomi mobola mpe amiteki epai na yo, kopesa ye te misala na makasi lokola mowumbu.
40 Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
Okozwa ye lokola moto na yo ya mosala to lokola moleki nzela oyo azali kati na bino; akosalela yo kino na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama;
41 Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
mpe na sima, akozwa bonsomi elongo na bana na ye, akozonga na etuka na ye mpe akozongela mabele ya batata na ye.
42 Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
Pamba te, bana ya Isalaele bazali bawumbu na Ngai, oyo nabimisaki na Ejipito; bakoki te koteka bango lokola bawumbu.
43 You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
Kokonza bango te na makasi, kasi banga Nzambe na yo.
44 Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
Okozwa bawumbu na yo ya mibali mpe basi bawumbu na yo kati na bikolo oyo ezingeli yo; okosomba bango kaka na bikolo yango.
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.
Okoki mpe kosomba bapaya oyo bazali kovanda kati na mokili na yo, mpe bato ya bituka na bango, oyo babotami kati na mokili na yo; boye bakokoma bawumbu na yo.
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.
Okoki kotika bango epai ya bana na yo lokola libula mpo ete sima na yo bakoma bawumbu na bango mpo na libela; kasi kokonza te na makasi bandeko na yo, bana ya Isalaele.
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,
Soki mopaya to moleki nzela moko kati na mokili na yo akomi na bozwi mpe moko kati na bandeko na yo, mwana mboka, akomi mobola; bongo amiteki epai ya mopaya to moleki nzela yango to epai ya moto moko ya libota na ye;
48 he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
ndeko na yo, mwana mboka, akoki kosikolama sima na ye komiteka: moto moko kati na bandeko na ye akoki kosikola ye.
49 either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
Soki ndeko azali te mpo na kosikola ye, tata kulutu to tata leki na ye to bana mibali ya tata kulutu to ya tata leki na ye to ndeko na ye mosusu ya libota ya botata akoki kosikola ye. Nzokande soki akomi na makoki, akoki mpe komisikola ye moko.
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.
Boye, ye elongo na moto oyo asombaki ye, bakotanga mibu oyo eleki wuta na mobu oyo amitekaki kino na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama; bakokata motuya ya lisiko na ye kolanda motango ya mibu ndenge ezali lifuti ya moto ya mosala.
51 If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
Soki etikali mibu ebele, asengeli kofuta mpo na kosikolama na ye, mbongo kolanda talo oyo basombaki ye.
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.
Soki etikalaki mibu moke kino na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama, akotanga mibu yango mpe akofuta mpo na lisiko na ye kolanda motango ya mibu oyo etikali.
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.
Na mibu nyonso oyo akosala epai ya mosombi na ye, bakozwa ye lokola moto ya mosala; okotika te ete mosombi na ye akonza ye na makasi.
54 Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
Ata soki asikolami te na moko kati na banzela oyo, ye elongo na bana na ye basengeli kozwa bonsomi na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama.
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.
Pamba te, bana ya Isalaele bazali bawumbu na Ngai, oyo nabimisaki na Ejipito. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
