Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses on mount Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give unto you; then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.
Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus ejus:
4 But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath [in honor] of the Lord: thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest shalt thou not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine shalt thou not gather: a year of rest shall it be unto the land.
Quæ sponte gignet humus, non metes: et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam: annus enim requietionis terræ est:
6 And [the product of] the sabbath of the land shall be unto you for food, for thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and for thy hired laborer, and for thy stranger, that sojourn with thee;
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all its products be [left] for food.
jumentis tuis et pecoribus, omnia quæ nascuntur præbebunt cibum.
8 And thou shalt number unto thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 And then shalt thou cause the sound of the cornet to be heard, in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month: on the day of atonement shall ye sound the cornet throughout all your land.
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim freedom 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.
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terræ tuæ: ipse est enim jubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 A jubilee shall this, the fiftieth year, be unto you: ye shall not sow, nor reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather in it the fruit of the undressed vines.
quia jubilæus est, et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 For it is the jubilee; holy shall it be unto you: from the field shall ye eat the products thereof.
ob sanctificationem jubilæi: sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 In this year of the jubilee shall ye return, every man, unto his possession.
Anno jubilæi, redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy aught of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not overreach one the other;
Quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed juxta numerum annorum jubilæi emes ab eo,
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbor, according unto the number of harvest-years shall he sell unto thee;
et juxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 According to the multitude of years shalt thou increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years shalt thou diminish the price thereof; for a number of harvests doth he sell unto thee.
Quanto plures anni remanserint post jubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit: tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 And ye shall not overreach one the other; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God; for I am the Lord your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 And ye shall do my statutes, and my ordinances shall ye keep and do them; and then shall ye dwell in the land in safety.
Facite præcepta mea, et judicia custodite, et implete ea: ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in safety therein.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And if ye should say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we are not permitted to sow, and we cannot gather in our harvest:
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 Then will I command my blessing unto you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth a harvest for three years.
dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 And when ye sow in the eighth year, then shall ye eat yet of the old harvest; until the ninth year, until its harvest come in, shall ye eat of the old store.
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 [to the purchaser]; for the land is mine; for strangers and sojourners are ye with me.
Terra quoque non vendetur in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenæ et coloni mei estis:
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestræ sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
25 If thy brother become poor, and sell away some of his possession: then may his nearest of kin come and redeem what his brother hath sold.
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus ejus, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and he acquire the means, sufficient to be able to redeem it himself:
Sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire,
27 Then let him reckon the years since his sale, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so shall he return unto his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 But if his means do not suffice to enable him to restore it to him: then shall that which he hath sold remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of the jubilee; and it shall be freed in the jubilee, and he shall return unto his possession.
Quod si non invenerit manus ejus ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum jubilæum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city: then shall the time of redemption last till the end of the year of his sale; a full year shall his time of redemption last.
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
30 And if it be not redeemed within the expiration of a full year: then shall the house which is in the walled city remain as a permanence to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not become freed in the jubilee.
Si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri ejus in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in jubilæo.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they shall have the right of redemption, and they shall become freed in the jubilee.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum jure vendetur: si ante redempta non fuerit, in jubilæo revertetur ad dominum.
32 And [respecting] the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, a perpetual right of redemption shall belong to the Levites.
Ædes Levitarum quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 And if a man of the Levites redeem something: then shall the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, become freed in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in jubilæo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israël.
34 And a field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for a perpetual possession is it unto them.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And if thy brother become poor, and fall in decay with thee: then shalt thou assist him, [yea] a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with thee.
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 Thou shalt not take of him any usury or increase; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: that thy brother may live with thee.
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti: time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give unto you the land of Canaan, to be unto you a God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut darem vobis terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 And if thy brother become poor near thee, and be sold unto thee: thou shalt not compel him to work as a bond-servant.
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 But as a hired laborer, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of the jubilee shall he serve with thee:
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum jubilæum operabitur apud te,
41 And then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him; and he shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem, ad possessionem patrum suorum.
42 For my servants are they, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bond-men are sold.
Mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de terra Ægypti: non veneant conditione servorum:
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but thou shalt have fear of thy God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 But thy bond-man, and thy bond-woman that shall remain thine, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them may ye buy bond-man and bond-woman.
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
45 And also of the children of the strangers that sojourn with you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they shall remain to you as a possession.
et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
46 And ye may transfer them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; you may hold them to service for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel, one over the other, ye shall not rule with rigor.
et hæreditario jure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum: fratres autem vestros filios Israël ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And if a stranger or sojourner wax rich near thee, and thy brother become poor near him, and he sell himself unto the sojourning stranger near thee, or to a descendant of a stranger's family:
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe ejus:
48 After he hath sold himself shall he have the right of redemption; one of his brethren may redeem him.
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he obtain the means, he may redeem himself.
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of the jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, as the time of a hired laborer shall he have been with him.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum jubilæum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, juxta annorum numerum, et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 If there be yet many years, according to them shall he return the price of his redemption out of his purchase-money.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad jubilæum, secundum hos reddet et pretium:
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of the jubilee: then shall he reckon with him; according to his years shall he return the price of his redemption.
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo juxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 As a laborer hired from year to year shall he be with him; he shall not rule over him with rigor before thy eyes.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he be not redeemed by [one of] these means: then shall he go out in the year of the jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno jubilæo egredietur cum liberis suis.
55 For unto me are the children of Israel servants, my servants are they, whom I have brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Eternal your God.
Mei enim sunt servi filii Israël, quos eduxi de terra Ægypti.
