Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses on mount Sinai, saying,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen 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 Israhel et dices ad eos quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis sabbatizet sabbatum Domini
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 eius
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 terrae 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.
quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae 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 ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae 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.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt 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 ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae 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 bucina 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 terrae tuae ipse est enim iobeleus 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 iobeleus est et quinquagesimus annus non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia et primitias vindemiae 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 iobelei sed statim ablata comedetis
13 In this year of the jubilee shall ye return, every man, unto his possession.
anno iobelei 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 iuxta numerum annorum iobelei 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 iuxta 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 plus anni remanserint post iobeleum 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 adfligere 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 praecepta mea et iudicia 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 seruerimus 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 veniet in perpetuum quia mea est et vos advenae 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 vestrae sub redemptionis condicione 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 adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam et voluerit propinquus eius 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.
conputabuntur 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 eius ut reddat pretium habebit emptor quod emerat usque ad annum iobeleum in ipso enim omnis venditio redit 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 eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo
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 fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo 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.
aedes Levitarum quae 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 redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel
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 venient 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 adtenuatus 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 Aegypti 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 conpulsus 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 mercennarius et colonus erit usque ad annum iobeleum 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 et 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 Aegypti non venient condicione servorum
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but thou shalt have fear of thy God.
ne adfligas 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 quae 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 hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum fratres autem vestros filios Israhel 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 advenae atque peregrini et adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius
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 adfinis 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 suae usque ad annum iobeleum et pecunia qua venditus fuerat iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii 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 iobeleum 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 iuxta 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 inputatis non adfliget 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 haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo 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 sunt enim servi filii Israhel quos eduxi de terra Aegypti
