Leviticus 25
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize na ngomba Sinai:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I will give you, the land shall celebrate a sabbath to Jehovah.
« 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 Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof,
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 shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. Thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.
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 That which springeth up from the scattered seed of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thine undressed vines thou shalt not gather: a year of rest shall it be for the land.
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 And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you, for thee, and for thy bondman, and for thy handmaid, and for thy hired servant, and for him that dwelleth as a sojourner with thee, and for thy cattle,
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 the beasts that are in thy land: all the produce thereof shall be for 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 thou shalt count seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; so that the days of the seven sabbaths of years be unto thee 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 shalt thou cause the loud sound of the trumpet to go forth in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement shall ye cause the trumpet to go forth 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 And ye shall hallow the year of the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; a [year of] jubilee shall it be unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family;
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 a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather [the fruit of] its undressed 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 the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.
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 the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
Na mobu yango ya kosepela kokangolama na bino, moto nyonso kati na bino akozonga na mabele na ye.
14 And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.
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 According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.
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 According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.
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 And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.
Tika ete moko te akosa moninga, kasi banga Nzambe na yo; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
18 And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.
Bosalela bikateli na Ngai mpe botosa mibeko na Ngai, bongo bokowumela na kimia kati na mokili;
19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.
mpe mabele ekobota mbuma na yango, bokolia mpe bokotonda mpe bokovanda na kimia.
20 And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;
Bokoki kotuna: ‘Tokolia nini na mobu ya sambo soki toloni te mpe tobuki te bambuma na biso?’
21 then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;
Nakotindela bino mapamboli mingi na mobu ya motoba mpo ete mabele ekoka kobota bambuma mingi oyo bokoki kolia mibu misato.
22 and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.
Wana bokolona na mobu ya mwambe, bokolia nanu bambuma ya kala mpe bokokoba kolia yango kino bokobuka bambuma ya mobu ya libwa.
23 And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Bokoki te koteka mabele mpo na libela, pamba te mabele ezali ya Ngai, mpe bino bozali bapaya mpe baleki nzela.
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
Kati na mokili oyo bokozwa lokola libula, bosengeli kondima ete moto asikola mabele na ye.
25 If thy brother grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother 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 And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,
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 then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.
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 And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
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 And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.
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 But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out 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 the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out 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 But as to the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.
Balevi bazali tango nyonso na makoki ya kosikola bandako na bango, oyo ezali kati na bingumba ya Balevi.
33 And if any one redeem from one of the Levites, then the house that was sold, in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
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 And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Kasi bilanga oyo ezali zingazinga ya bingumba ya Balevi, bakoki koteka yango te: ezali libula na bango mpo na libela.
35 And if thy brother grow poor, and he be fallen into decay beside thee, then thou shalt relieve him, [be he] stranger or sojourner, that he may live beside thee.
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 Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee.
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 Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Soki odefisi ye mbongo, okosenga mileki te na oyo odefisi ye; mpe soki odefisi ye bilei, okosenga te koleka oyo opesi.
38 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, 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 And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
Soki ndeko na yo, mwana mboka, akomi mobola mpe amiteki epai na yo, kopesa ye te misala na makasi lokola mowumbu.
40 as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee.
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 shall he depart 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.
mpe na sima, akozwa bonsomi elongo na bana na ye, akozonga na etuka na ye mpe akozongela mabele ya batata na ye.
42 For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as [men] sell bondmen.
Pamba te, bana ya Isalaele bazali bawumbu na Ngai, oyo nabimisaki na Ejipito; bakoki te koteka bango lokola bawumbu.
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.
Kokonza bango te na makasi, kasi banga Nzambe na yo.
44 And as for thy bondman and thy handmaid whom thou shalt have — of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and handmaids.
Okozwa bawumbu na yo ya mibali mpe basi bawumbu na yo kati na bikolo oyo ezingeli yo; okosomba bango kaka na bikolo yango.
45 Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession.
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 And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour.
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 And if a stranger or sojourner become wealthy beside thee, and thy brother beside him grow poor, and sell himself unto the stranger, who is settled by thee, or to a scion of the stranger's family,
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 after that he is sold there shall be right of redemption for him; one of his brethren 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 his uncle's son may redeem him, or one of his next relations of his family may redeem him; or if his means be sufficient, 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 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of a hired servant shall he be with him.
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 there are yet many years, according unto them shall he return his redemption [money] out of the money that he was bought for;
Soki etikali mibu ebele, asengeli kofuta mpo na kosikolama na ye, mbongo kolanda talo oyo basombaki ye.
52 and if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his [remaining] years [of service] shall he give him back his redemption [money].
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 As a hired servant shall he be with him year by year; [his master] shall not rule with rigour over him before thine eyes.
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 And if he be not redeemed in this manner, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him.
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 children of Israel are servants unto me; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
Pamba te, bana ya Isalaele bazali bawumbu na Ngai, oyo nabimisaki na Ejipito. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
