< Leviticus 25 >
1 The Lord told Moses on Mount Sinai,
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè ambohi-Sinay añe:
2 “Tell the Israelites: When you enter the land that I'm giving you, the land itself must also observe a Sabbath rest in honor of the Lord.
Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo, le ano ty hoe: Ie mimoak’ an-tane hatoloko anahareo ao le hambena’ i taney ty fitofàñe am’ Iehovà.
3 Six years you can cultivate your fields, take care of your vineyards, and harvest your crops.
Enen-taoñe ty hitongisa’o ami’ty tete’o, naho enen-taoñe ty hañetefa’o o valobo’oo vaho ty hanontoña’o ty voka’e,
4 But the seventh year is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land, a Sabbath in honor of the Lord. Don't plant your fields or care for your vineyards.
fe ho Sabata àñom-pitofà’ i taney i taom-pahafitoy, Sabata am’ Iehovà. Tsy hitongisa’o ty tete’o ndra hetefa’o o valobo’oo.
5 Don't harvest what may have grown up in your fields, or collect the grapes from your vineyards that you haven't cared for. The land is to have a year of complete rest.
Tsy ho tataheñe o misonjoñeo naho fa afake ty fitataha’o, le tsy hatontoñe ze valoboke mitiry amo vahe tsy nañetefañeo, amy t’ie taom-pitofàñe heneke ho a i taney.
6 You can eat whatever the land produces during the Sabbath year. This applies to yourself, your male and female slaves, paid workers and foreigners who live with you,
Fe ho fikama’ areo ty voka’ i fitofà’ i taneiy, ihe naho ty mpitoro’o lahy naho ty mpitoro’o ampela, naho ty mpièke, naho ty renetane mañialo ama’o,
7 and to your livestock and the wild animals living in your land. Whatever grows can be used for food.
vaho hihinana’ o hare’oo naho ze biby lý an-tane’o ao ze hene voka’e.
8 Count seven ‘sabbaths’ of years, in other words, seven times seven years, so that the seven sabbaths of years come to forty-nine years.
Mañiaha taom-pitofàñe fito ho azo, fito taoñe atombo fito; le ty fitontoña’ i taom-pitofàñe fito rey ro mañomey efa-polo siv’amby taoñe.
9 Then blow the trumpet all through the country on the tenth day of the seventh month, which is the Day of Atonement. Make sure this signal is heard throughout your whole country.
Ie amy zay, ampipopoeñe antsiva-paniahiañe ty andro faha-folo’ i volam-pahafitoy, i andro fijebañañey, le ho tsitsihe’ areo fipopòn’ antsiva ty tane’ areo.
10 You are to dedicate the fiftieth year and announce freedom everywhere in the country for all who live there. This is to be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to reclaim your property and to be part of your family once more.
Le ampiambaho i taom-paha limampoloy naho tsitsiho koim-pidadàñe i taney, amo mpimoneñe ama’e iabio. Ho Jobily ama’ areo, sindre himpoly amo fanaña’eo, songa himpoly aman-dongo’e.
11 The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. Don't sow the land; don't harvest what may have grown up in your fields, or collect the grapes from your vineyards that you haven't cared for.
Jobily ho anahareo i taom-paha-limampoloy: tsy hitongy ama’e, le tsy ho tatahe’ areo ze sonjo’e vaho tsy hatonto’o ze am-bahe tsy hineteke,
12 It is a Jubilee and it is to be holy to you. You can eat whatever the land produces.
amy te Jobily, le hiavake ho anahareo izay; ho kamae’ areo ze mipike an-tetek’ ao.
13 In this Jubilee Year, every one of you shall return to your own property.
Songa hibalik’ amy lova’ey amy taon-Jobiliy nahareo.
14 If you sell land to your neighbor, or buy land from him, don't exploit one another.
Aa ie mandetake inoñ’inoñe am’ ondatio ndra mikalo am-pità’ ondaty, le asoao tsy hifampikatramo.
15 When you buy from your neighbor work out how many years have passed since the last Jubilee, for he is to sell to you depending on how many years of harvest remain.
Ty ami’ ty ia’ o taoñe manonjohy i Jobilio ty ho vilie’o am’ondatio le ty ami’ty ia’ o taom-pamokarañe sisao ty handetaha’e.
16 The more years that are left, the more you shall pay; the fewer years that are left, the less you shall pay, because he is actually selling you a specific number of harvests.
Ty ami’ty hamaro’ o taoñeo ty hañonjona’o ty vili’e vaho ami’ty hatsiampe’ o taoñeo ty hampiketraha’o ty vili’e; ty ia’ o fitatahañeo ro haleta’e ama’o.
17 Don't exploit one another, but have respect for your God, because I am the Lord your God.
Aa le ko mifamorekeke, fa i Andrianañahare’o ro hañeveña’o; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
18 Keep my rules and observe my regulations, so you can live in safety in the land.
Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo naho oriho aman-dili-po o fepèkoo, vaho hiaiñ’ añoleñañe amy taney nahareo,
19 Then the land will produce good harvest, so you will have plenty to eat and live in safety there.
le ho toly ty sabo’ i taney naho ho anjam-pikamañe nahareo vaho himoneñe ao tsy aman’ ore.
20 But if you ask, ‘What are we going to in the seventh year if we do not sow or harvest our crops?’
Aa naho hanoa’areo ty hoe, Ino ty ho hane’ay amy taom-pahafitoy, zahay tsy hitongy, tsy hanontoñe an-driha?
21 I will bless you in the sixth year, so that the land will produce a crop that will be enough for three years.
Fa ho lilieko ho anahareo ty fanintsiñako amy taom-paha-eneñey, hanataha’ areo ty mahakama tsahatse telo taoñe.
22 As you sow in the eighth year, you will still be eating from that harvest, which will last until your harvest in the ninth year.
Ie hitongy ami’ty taom-paha-valo, le ho kamae’ areo ty voka’e nivokats’ ela; pak’ amy taom-pahasivey, ampara’ i fitatahañe ama’ey, ty hikama’ areo i elay.
23 Land must not be permanently sold, because it really belongs to me. To me you are only foreigners and travelers passing through.
Tsy haletake ho nainai’e i taney amy te ahiko o taneo; mpañialo naho renetane amako nahareo.
24 So whatever land you buy to own, you must make arrangements so it can be returned to its original owner.
Aa ty amo hene tanem-panaña’ areoo, añajào ty hijebañañe aze.
25 If one of your people becomes poor and sells you some of their land, their close family can come and buy back what they have sold.
Ie mifotsak’ an-kararahañe ty longo’o naho mandetake i hanaña’ey, le homb’eo ty longo’e marine aze, hijebañe i tane naletan-dongo’ey.
26 However, if they don't have anyone who can buy it back, but in the meantime their financial situation improves and they have enough to buy back the land,
Aa naho tsy amam-pijebañe t’indaty, fe am-pahimbañam-pità’e ro mahatontoñe ty hijebaña’e,
27 they will work how many years it has been since the sale, and pay back the balance to the person who bought it, and go back to their property
le hiahe’e o taoñe mifototse amy nandetaha’e azeio, le havaha’e amy nivily azey ty tsi’ri’e amo tao’eo vaho hibalik’ amy fanaña’ey re.
28 If they can't raise enough to pay the person back for the land, the buyer will remain its owner until the Jubilee Year. But in the Jubilee the land will be returned so that the original owner can so that they can go back to their property.
Aa naho tsy lefe’e ty hañitia’e fitàñe hahaeneñe ty hampibalihañe aze le hidok’ am-pità’ i nikalo azey i naletakey ampara’ ty Taon-Jobily; havotsotse amy Jobiliy izay le himpolia’e i fanaña’ey.
29 If someone sells a house located in a walled town, they have the right to buy it back for a full year after selling it. It can be bought back any time during that year.
Aa naho aleta’ t’indaty ty anjomba-pimoneñañe an-drova finahetse ao le azo’e jebañeñe i anjombay añate’ ty taoñe mifototse amy nandetahañe azey; taoñe raike do’e ty mete hijebañañe aze.
30 If it isn't bought back be the end of a full year, then ownership of the house in the walled town is permanently transferred to the one who bought it and their descendants. It won't be returned in the Jubilee.
F’ie tsy jebañe’e añate’ ty taoñe raike le mijadoñe ho fanaña’ i nikalo azey nainai’e pak’ añ’ afeafe’e i anjomba an-drova mifahetsey. Ie tsy havotsotse amo Jobilio.
31 But houses in villages that don't have walls around them are to be treated as located in the fields. They can be bought back, and will be returned in the Jubilee.
Fe ty anjomba tsy mifahetse ro volilieñe manahake o tetekeo: azo jebañeñe izay vaho havotsotse ami’ty Jobily.
32 However, the Levites always have the right to buy back their houses in the towns that belong to them.
Fe ty amo rova’ o nte-Levio, toe manan-jo nainai’e o nte-Levio hijebañe o anjomba an-drovam-panaña’ iareoo.
33 Whatever the Levites own can be bought back, even houses sold in their towns, and must be returned in the Jubilee. That's because the houses in the towns of the Levites are what they were given to own as their share among the Israelites.
Aa naho mivily anjomba amo nte-Levio t’indaty, le i anjomba naletak’ an-drova ao ho vara’ey ro havotso’e amy Jobiliy; amy te fanaña’ i nte-Leviý añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ze anjomba’e an-drova’ o nte-Levio.
34 However, the fields surrounding their towns must not be sold because they belong to the Levites permanently.
Fe tsy azo aletake o tanem-piandrazañe mañohoke o rova’ iareoo, amy t’ie fanaña’ iareo nainai’e.
35 If any of your people become poor and can't survive, you must help them in the same way you would help a foreigner or a stranger, so that they can go on living in your neighborhood.
Aa naho mivariñ’ an-tsotry ty longo’o vaho moly ama’o, rambeso himoneñe ama’o manahake t’ie renetane ndra mpañialo.
36 Don't make them pay you any interest or demand more than they borrowed, but respect your God so that they can remain living in your area.
Ko angala’o anan-tsongo ndra ampandivà’o, fe añeveño t’i Andrianañahare’o, le angao himoneña’e.
37 Don't lend them silver with interest or sell them food at an inflated price.
Ko ampisongoen-drala hangala’o ana’e vaho ko ampanovoñe’o aze ze hanton-karo’e.
38 Remember, I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime añe hitolorako i tane Kanàney, vaho ho Andrianañahare’ areo.
39 If any of your people become poor and have to sell themselves to work for you, don't force them to work as a slave.
Aa naho mifotsak’ an-kasotriañe ty longo’o ama’o, hera havili’e ama’o ty fiai’e, ko ampitoroñe’o hoe ondevo.
40 Have them live with you like a paid worker who is staying with you for a while. They are to work for you until the Jubilee Year.
Hoe mpikarama naho mpañialo ty hitraofa’e, hitoroñe ampara’ ty taon-Jobily;
41 Then they and their children must be freed, and they can go back to their family and to their family's property.
ie amy zay ro hieng’ azo rekets’ o keleia’eo, himpoly mb’ aman-drolongo’e mb’eo, mb’am-panañan-droae’e añe.
42 Israelites are not to be sold as slaves because they belong to me as my slaves—I led them out of Egypt.
Ahiko iereo, mpitoroko nampiavoteko an-tane Mitsraime añe; tsy haletake ho ondevo.
43 Don't treat them with brutality. Have respect for your God.
Ko silofe’o ami’ty famehea’o aze, fe añeveño t’i Andrianañahare’o.
44 Buy your male and female slaves from the surrounding nations.
Aa ty am’ ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela fanaña’oo; le boak’ amo fifeheañe mañohokeo ty ivilia’ areo ondevo.
45 You can also buy them from foreigners who have come to live among you, or from their descendants born in your land. You can treat them as your property.
Azo’ areo vilieñe ka ty anan-drenetane mañialo ama’ areo, naho amo hasavereña’ iareo nisamak’ an-tane’ areoo; mete ho fanaña’ areo ka iereo.
46 You can pass them on to your children to inherit as property after you die. You can make them slaves for life, but you must not brutally treat any of your own people, the Israelites, as a slave.
Azo’ areo ampandovaeñe amo ana’ areo mandimbeo ho fanaña’e, ho ondevo’ areo nainai’e. Fe o longo’ areo ana’ Israeleo, le tsy ho fehe’ ty raike ty raike am-pisengean-kery.
47 If a foreigner among you becomes successful, and one of your people living nearby becomes poor and sells themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner's family,
Aa naho miraorao ty renetane ndra ty mpañialo ama’o, le ie mivariñ’ an-tsotry ty longo’o marine aze vaho mandeta vatañe ke amy renetaney he amy mpañialo ama’oy, hera ami’ty tarira’ i ambahiniy,
48 they still have the right of being bought back after the sale. A member of their family can buy them back—
ie naletake ro mete jebañeñe. Hijebañe aze ty raik’ amo rahalahi’eo;
49 an uncle or cousin or any close relative from their family can buy them back. If they become successful, they can buy themselves back.
mete hijebañ’aze ka i rahalahin-drae’ey ndra i ana-drahalahin-drae’ey; ndra ze amy fifokoa’ey ty hijebañe aze; he ie miraorao ro hahaava-piaiñe.
50 The person concerned and their buyer will work out the time from the year of the sale up to the Jubilee Year. The price will depend on the number of years, calculated using the daily rate for a paid worker.
Ty hifamolilia’e amy nivily azey, le boak’ amy taoñe nandetaha’e vatañey pak’amy Jobiliy; ty amo taoñeo ty vilin’ aim-pijebañañe aze; ampiraeñe ami’ty taom-pikarama i nitraofa’ey.
51 If there are many years left, they must pay a larger percentage of the purchase price.
Ie mbe maro taoñe ty añe, le izay ty añavaha’e ty vilin’ ai’e amy drala nikaloañe azey;
52 If there are only a few years remaining before the Jubilee Year, then they only have to pay a percentage depending on the number of years still left.
ie tsy ampe ty taoñe pak’ amy taon-Jobiliy le inao ty hamoliliañe iareo roe: ty amo tao’eo ty añavahañe ty vilin’ai’e.
53 They are to live with their foreign owner just like a paid worker, hired from year to year, but see to it that the owner doesn't treat him brutally.
Ho ama’e re manahake ty mpikarama mpitoloñe taoñ’ an-taoñe; tsy hisengean-kery am-pahaisaha’o.
54 If they are not bought back in any of the ways described, they and their children shall be freed in the Jubilee Year.
Aa naho tsy jebañeñe amy hoe zay, mbe hienga avao amy taon-Jobiliy, ie rekets’ o keleia’eo.
55 For the Israelites belong to me as my slaves. They are my slaves—I led them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
Ahiko o ana’ Israeleo; mpitoroko nakareko an-tane Mitsraime añe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
