Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, saying:
Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i Maunga Hinai, i mea,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, rest on the Sabbath of the Lord.
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e hoatu e ahau ki a koutou, na ka whakahapati te whenua i tetahi hapati ki a Ihowa.
3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall care for your vineyard, and you shall gather its fruits.
E ono nga tau e whakatongia ai e koe tau mara, e ono hoki nga tau e tapatapahia ai e koe tau mara waina, e kohia ai hoki ona hua;
4 But in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of the land, a resting of the Lord. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not care for your vineyard.
Ko te whitu ia o nga tau hei hapati okiokinga mo te whenua, hei hapati ki a Ihowa: kaua e whakatongia tau mara, e tapatapahia ranei tau mara waina.
5 What the soil shall spontaneously produce, you shall not harvest. And you shall not gather the grapes of the first-fruits as a crop. For it is a year of rest for the land.
Kaua e kotia te mea i tupu noa ake i tera kotinga au, kaua ano e whakiia nga karepe o tau waina kihai nei i mahia: he tau okiokinga hoki tena mo te whenua.
6 But these shall be yours for food, for you and for your men and women servants, and for your hired hands, and for the newcomers who sojourn with you:
A hei kai ma koutou te hapati o te whenua; mau, ma tau pononga tane, ma tau pononga wahine, ma tau kaimahi, ma tou manene hoki e noho ana i a koe;
7 all that grows on its own shall provide food for your beasts and cattle.
Ma au kararehe hoki, ma te kirehe hoki o tou whenua, ona hua katoa, hei kai.
8 You shall also number for yourselves seven weeks of years, that is, seven times seven, which together makes forty-nine years.
A me tatau e koe kia whitu nga tau hapati, kia whitu nga whitu o nga tau; a ko taua takiwa, ko nga tau hapati e whitu, ka kiia e koe e wha tekau ma iwa tau.
9 And you shall sound the trumpet in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, at the time of the atonement, throughout all your land.
Katahi ka whakatangihia e koe te tetere tangi nui i te tekau o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama; ko a te ra whakamarietanga mea ai koutou kia paku atu te tangi o te tetere puta noa i to koutou whenua.
10 And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a remission for all the inhabitants of your land: for the same is the Jubilee. A man shall return to his possession, and each one shall go back to his original family,
A me whakatapu te rima tekau o nga tau, ka karanga ai i te haere noa puta noa i te whenua ma nga tangata katoa o te whenua: hei tiupiri nui tena ma koutou; a me hoki koutou ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga, me hoki ano ki ona whanaunga, ki ona wha naunga.
11 for it is the Jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap what grows in the field of its own accord, and you shall not gather the first-fruits of the crop,
Ko tena tau, ko te rima tekau, hei tiupiri ma koutou: kaua e rui, kaua e kokoti i te mea tupu noa ake o tena tau, kaua hoki e whakiia nga waina kihai i mahia.
12 due to the sanctification of the Jubilee. But you shall eat them as they present themselves.
Ko te tiupiri hoki ia; kia tapu ki a koutou; ko ona hua o te mara hei kai ma koutou.
13 In the year of the Jubilee, all shall return to their possessions.
Me hoki koutou i tenei tau tiupiri, ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga,
14 When you will sell anything to your fellow citizen, or buy anything from him, do not cause your brother grief, but buy from him according to the number of years from the Jubilee,
Ki te hokona atu ano e koe tetahi mea ki tou hoa, ki te hokona mai ranei tetahi mea e te ringa o tou hoa, kaua e tukinotia tetahi e tetahi:
15 and he shall sell to you according to the computation of the produce.
Kia rite au utu ki tou hoa ki te maha o nga tau i muri i te tiupiri; kia rite ano ki te maha o nga tau hua tana hoko ki a koe.
16 The more years that will remain after the Jubilee, the more the price shall increase, and the less the time is numbered, so much less shall the purchase price be. For he will sell to you the time for the produce.
Kia rite tau whakanui i te utu o taua mea ki te maha o nga tau, kia rite hoki taua whakaiti i ona utu ki te torutoru o nga tau: e rite ana hoki ki te maha o nga tau hua tana hoko ki a koe:
17 Do not be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For I am the Lord your God.
A kaua e tukino tetahi ki tetahi, engari me wehi koe ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
18 Accomplish my precepts, and observe my judgments, and complete them, so that you may be able to live in the land without any fear,
Mo reira me mahi e koutou aku tikanga, me pupuru aku whakaritenga, me mahi hoki; a ka noho humarie koutou i runga i te whenua,
19 and so that the soil may produce its fruits for you, from which you may eat, even to fullness, dreading violence by no one.
A ka tukua ona hua e te whenua, a ka kai koutou ka makona, ka noho humarie hoki ki reira.
20 But if you will say: What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow and do not gather our produce?
A ki te mea koutou, He aha he kai ma tatou i te whitu o nga tau? titiro hoki, e kore tatou e rua, e kore hoki e kohi i a tatou hua:
21 I will give my blessing to you in the sixth year, and it shall yield the produce of three years.
Maku ra e whakahau iho taku manaaki ki a koutou i te ono o nga tau, a ka whai hua mo nga tau e toru.
22 And in the eighth year you shall sow, but you shall eat from the old produce, until the ninth year, until what is new matures, you shall eat what is old.
A ka rui koutou i te waru o nga tau, ka kai ano i nga hua pakoko; a tae noa ki te iwa o nga tau, me kai nga mea pakoko, kia riro ra ano nga hua o tena tau.
23 Also, the land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for it is mine, and you are newcomers and settlers to me.
Kaua e hokona te whenua, he mea oti tonu atu; noku hoki te whenua; he manene hoki koutou, he noho noa ki ahau.
24 Therefore, every region of your possession shall be sold under the condition of redemption.
Me whakaae hoki ki te utu e hoki ai te whenua, i to koutou whenua katoa.
25 If your brother, being in need, will have sold his little possession and his close relative is willing, he is able to redeem what he had sold.
Ki te rawakoretia tou teina, a ka hokona e ia tetahi wahi o tona kainga, me haere mai tona whanaunga e tata rawa ana ki a ia, ka utu i te mea i hokona atu e tona teina kia hoki ai.
26 But if he has no near relative, and he himself is able to find the price to redeem it,
A ki te kahore he kaiutu a tetahi tangata, a ka whiwhi taonga ia a ka taea ano e ia te utu;
27 the produce shall be calculated from that time when he sold it. And what is lacking, he shall repay to the buyer, and so he shall receive his possession.
Na me tatau e ia nga tau i hokona ai, a ka whakahoki i te tuhene ki te tangata i hokona atu ai; a ka hoki ai ia ki tona kainga.
28 But if his hand will not have discovered a way to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the Jubilee. For in that year all that has been sold shall return to the owner, and to the original possessor.
Otiia ki te kahore e taea e ia te whakahoki mai ki a ia ano, na me waiho tana i hoko ai ki te ringa o te tangata nana i hoko, a tae noa ki te tau tiupiri: a i te tiupiri ka riro, a ka hoki ia ki tona kainga.
29 Whoever will have sold a house within the walls of a city shall have the freedom to redeem it, until one year has been completed.
Ki te hokona e te tangata he whare nohoanga i te pa taiepa, e ahei ia te utu kia hoki mai ano i roto i te tau kotahi i muri i te rironga: kotahi tino tau hei whakahokinga mana.
30 If he has not redeemed it, and the year will have turned full circle, the buyer and his posterity shall possess it, in perpetuity, and it is not able to be redeemed, even in the Jubilee.
A ki te kahore e utua, a tino taka noa te tau, katahi ka whakapumautia mo ake tonu atu te whare i te pa taiepa mo te tangata nana i hoki, puta noa i ona whakatupuranga: e kore e riro i te tiupiri.
31 But if the house is in a village, which has no walls, it shall be sold by the law of the fields. If it has not been redeemed beforehand, then in the Jubilee it shall return to the owner.
Ko nga whare ia o nga kainga, kahore nei he taiepa a tawhio noa, ka kiia e rite ana ki nga parae o te whenua: ka hoki ano ena ina utua, ka riro ano i te tuipiri.
32 The buildings of the Levites, which are in the cities, are always able to be redeemed.
Ko nga pa ia o nga Riwaiti, me nga whare o nga pa e nohoia ana e ratou, e hoki ki nga Riwaiti, ahakoa utua i tehea wa.
33 If they have not been redeemed, then in the Jubilee they shall return to the owners, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possession among the sons of Israel.
A, mehemea na tetahi o nga Riwaiti i utu, na ka riro te whare i hokona ra me tona pa i te tiupiri; ko nga whare hoki o nga pa o nga Riwaiti to ratou kainga pumau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.
34 But let not their suburbs be sold, for it is an everlasting possession.
Ko te mara ia i te taha o o ratou pa kaua e hokona; no te mea he wahi pumau tena no ratou.
35 If your brother has become impoverished, or infirm of hand, and you take him in, like a newcomer or a sojourner, and he lives with you,
A ki te rawakoretia tou teina, a ka wiri tona ringa i roto i a koe; me atawhai e koe; me noho manene ia, me noho noa ranei i a koe.
36 do not accept usury from him, nor anything more than what you gave. Fear your God, so that your brother may be able to live with you.
Kaua e tangohia i a ia he moni whakatuputupu, he whakanuinga ranei; engari me wehi koe ki tou Atua; kia noho ai tou teina i a koe.
37 You shall not give him your money by usury, nor exact from him an overabundance of produce.
Kaua tau moni e hoatu ki a ia hei mea whakatuputupu, kaua ano hoki au kai e hoatu ki a ia, me te whakaaro ano ki tetahi whakanuinga ake.
38 I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I might give to you the land of Canaan, and so that I may be your God.
Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, e mea nei kia hoatu te whenua o Kanaana ki a koutou kia waiho ano ahau hei Atua mo koutou.
39 If your brother, having been compelled by poverty, will have sold himself to you, you shall not oppress him with the servitude of indentured servants.
A ki te rawakoretia tou teina e noho ana i roto i a koe, a ka hokona ki a koe; kaua ia e whakamahia e koe ki te mahi pononga;
40 But he shall be like a hired hand or a settler; he shall work with you, until the year of the Jubilee.
Kia rite ia i roto i a koe ki te kaimahi, ki te noho noa; ka mahi ano ia ki a koe, a tae noa ki te tau tiupiri:
41 And after that, he shall depart with his children, and he shall return to his kindred, to the possession of his fathers.
Ko reira ia mawehe ai i a koe, ratou ko ana tamariki, a ka hoki ki ona whanaunga, ka hoki ano ki te kainga o ona matua.
42 For these are my servants, and I led them away from the land of Egypt; let them not be sold into the condition of servitude.
Ko ratou hoki aku pononga, i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa; kaua ratou e hokona hei pononga.
43 Do not afflict him by power, but be fearful of your God.
Kaua e taikaha tau whakarangatira ki a ia; engari me wehi ki tou Atua.
44 Let your male and female servants be from the nations which are all around you,
Tena ko nga pononga tane me nga pononga wahine mau; me hoko e koe i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine mau.
45 and from the newcomers who sojourn with you, or who have been born from them in your land. These you shall have as servants,
Ma koutou ano hoki e hoko etahi o nga tamariki a nga manene e noho ana i roto i a koutou, etahi hoki o roto o o ratou hapu i roto i a koutou, o nga mea i whanau i a ratou ki to koutou whenua: a puritia iho ma koutou.
46 and, by the right of inheritance, you shall transmit them to your posterity, and you shall possess them forever. But do not oppress your brothers, the sons of Israel, by power.
Me waiho hoki ena e koutou hei taonga tupu e tukua iho kia puritia e a koutou tama i muri i a koutou; hei pononga ratou ma koutou ake ake: kaua ia e taikaha ta koutou whakarangatira ki a koutou ano, ki o koutou teina, ki nga tama a Iharaira.
47 If the hand of a newcomer or a sojourner will have grown strong among you, and your brother, having become impoverished, will have sold himself to him, or to any of his stock,
Ki te whai rawa hoki te manene, noho noa ranei, i roto i a koe, a ka rawakoretia tou teina i tona taha, a ka hoko i a ia ki te manene, ki te noho noa ranei i roto i a koe, ki te toronga ranei o te hapu o te manene:
48 after the sale, he is able to be redeemed. Whoever is willing among his brothers shall redeem him:
E whakahokia ano ia mo te utu i muri i tona hokonga; ma tetahi o ona teina ia e whakahoki.
49 either the paternal uncle, or the paternal uncle’s son, or his close relative, by blood or by affinity. But if he himself will be able also, he shall redeem himself,
Ma tona matua keke, ma te tamaiti ranei a tona matua keke ia e whakahoki, ma tetahi ranei o ona whanaunga tupu o tona hapu ia e whakahoki; mana ano ranei ia e whakahoki, ki te taea e ia.
50 considering only the years from the time of his selling until the year of the Jubilee, and calculating the money for which he was sold, according to the number of years and the accounting of a hired hand.
Na ka tatau ia, raua ko te tangata nana ia i hoko, ka timata i te tau i hokona ai ia ki a ia, tae noa ki te tau tiupiri: a ka rite te utu e hokona ai ia ki te maha o nga tau; kia rite ki o te kaimahi ona ra ki a ia.
51 If there will have been many years which remain until the Jubilee, according to these shall he also repay the price.
Ki te maha ake nga tau, kia rite ki ena te utu mo tona hokinga e whakahokia atu e ia i roto i te moni i hokona ai ia.
52 If few, he shall determine the accounting with him according to the number of years, and he shall repay to the buyer by what is left remaining of the years;
A ki te torutoru nga tau e toe ana ki te tau tiupiri, na ka tatau raua; a kia rite ki ona tau te utu e whakahokia e ia ki a ia.
53 his wages being charged by what served before. He shall not afflict him violently in your sight.
Ko tona noho ki a ia kia rite ki ta te kaimahi e utua ana i te tau: kaua hoki tera e whakatupu rangatira nanakia ki a ia i tau tirohanga.
54 But if, by these means, he will not be able to be redeemed, then in the year of the Jubilee he shall depart with his children.
A ki te kahore ia e hokona i enei tikanga, na me haere atu ia i te tau tiupiri, ratou tahi ko ana tamariki.
55 For they are my servants, the sons of Israel, whom I led away from the land of Egypt.
He pononga hoki ki ahau nga tama a Iharaira; ko aku pononga ratou i whakaputaina mai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
