Leviticus 25
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai atĩrĩ,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa ngaamũhe-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio guo mwene no nginya ũkaagĩaga na Thabatũ ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Jehova.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof.

4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD; thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
No mwaka wa mũgwanja wakinya, bũrũri ũcio nĩũkagĩa na Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, Thabatũ yamũrĩirwo Jehova; mũtikanahaande kĩndũ mĩgũnda kana mũcehe mĩthabibũ yanyu.
5 That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather; it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

6 And the sabbath-produce of the land shall be for food for you: for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for the settler by thy side that sojourn with thee;
Kĩrĩa gĩothe bũrũri ũcio ũgaaciara mwaka-inĩ ũcio wa Thabatũ gĩgaatuĩka irio cianyu, inyuĩ ene na cia ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na cia aruti anyu a wĩra wa mũcaara, na mũraarĩrĩri ũrĩa mũikaranĩtie nake,

8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.
“‘Tarai Thabatũ mũgwanja cia mĩaka, mĩaka mũgwanja maita mũgwanja, nĩguo Thabatũ icio mũgwanja cia mĩaka ihinge mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na kenda.
9 Then shalt thou make proclamation with the blast of the horn on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye make proclamation with the horn throughout all your land.

10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

“‘Mwaka-inĩ ũyũ wa Jubilii, o mũndũ no nginya acooke gĩthaka-inĩ gĩake.
14 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.
“‘Mũngĩkenderia mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu mũgũnda kana mũgũre mũgũnda kũrĩ we, mũtikanaheenanie mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

“‘Alawii hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ marĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gũkũũraga nyũmba ciao iria irĩ matũũra-inĩ ma Alawii, marĩa megwatĩire.
33 And if a man purchase 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.
