Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whenever you shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domini.
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vine, and gather in its fruit.
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus eius:
4 But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: you shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vine.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terrae, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 And you shall not gather the spontaneous produce of your field, and you shall not gather fully the grapes of your dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.
Quae sponte gignet humus, non metes: et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam: annus enim requietionis terrae est:
6 And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for you, and for your man-servant, and for your maidservant, and your hireling, and the stranger that abides with you.
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillae et mercenario tuo, et advenae qui peregrinatur apud te:
7 And for your cattle, and for the wild beats that are in your land, shall every fruit of it be for food.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur, praebebunt cibum.
8 And you shall reckon to yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to you seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement you shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 And you shall sanctify the year, the fifties year, and you shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and you shall go each to his family.
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terrae tuae: ipse est enim iubilaeus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fifties year: you shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall you gather its dedicated fruits.
quia iubilaeus est et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis, neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiae non colligetis,
12 For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, you shall eat its fruits off the fields.
ob sanctificationem iubilaei, sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.
Anno iubilaei redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And if you should sell a possession to your neighbour, or if you should buy of your neighbour, let not a man oppress his neighbour.
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed iuxta numerum annorum iubilei emes ab eo,
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee shall you buy of your neighbour, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to you.
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 According as [there may be] a greater number of years he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as [there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of] his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to you.
Quanto plures anni remanserint post iubilaeum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit. tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 And you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements; and do you observe them, and you shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.
Facite praecepta mea, et iudicia custodite, et implete ea, ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 And the land shall yield her increase, and you shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And if you should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.
Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, you shall eat old fruits of the old.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because you are strangers and sojourners before me.
Terra quoque non vendetur in perpetuum: quia mea est, et vos advenae et coloni mei estis.
24 And in every land of your possession, you shall allow ransoms for the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
25 And if your brother who is with you be poor, and should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is near to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus eius, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;
sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire:
27 then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.
quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum iubileum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum, et ad possessorem pristinum.
29 And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
30 And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.
si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri eius in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in iubileo.
31 But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.
Sin autem in villa domus, quae muros non habet, agrorum iure vendetur. si ante redempta non fuerit, in iubileo revertetur ad dominum.
32 And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.
Aedes Levitarum, quae in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.
si redemptae non fuerint, in iubileo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israel.
34 And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And if your brother who is with you become poor, and he fail in resources with you, you shall help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and your brother shall live with you.
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam, et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 You shall not receive from him interest, nor increase: and you shall fear your God: I [am] the Lord: and your brother shall live with you.
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti. Time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 You shall not lend your money to him at interest, and you shall not lend your meat to him to be returned with increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegypti, ut darem vobis Terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 And if your brother by you be lowered, and be sold to you, he shall not serve you with the servitude of a slave.
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 He shall be with you as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for you till the year of release:
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum iubileum operabitur apud te,
41 and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem ad possessionem patrum suorum.
42 Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.
mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti. non veneant conditione servorum:
43 You shall not oppress him with labour, and shall fear the Lord your God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 And whatever number of menservants and maidservants you shall have, you shall purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about you.
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quae in circuitu vestro sunt.
45 And of the sons of the sojourners that are amongst you, of these you shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.
Et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
46 And you shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in aeternum. fratres autem vestros filios Israel ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And if a stranger or sojourner with you wax rich, and your brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with you, or to a proselyte by extraction;
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe eius:
48 after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
50 then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suae usque in annum iubileum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iubileum, secundum hos reddet et pretium.
52 And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; you shall not oppress him with labour before you.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.
Quod si per haec redimi non potuerit, anno iubileo egredietur cum liberis suis.
55 For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
Mei enim sunt servi, filii Israel, quos eduxi de Terra Aegypti.
