Leviticus 25
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, in Mount Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, then the land has kept a Sabbath to YHWH.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 [For] six years you sow your field, and [for] six years you prune your vineyard, and have gathered its increase,
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus eius:
4 and in the seventh year is a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH; you do not sow your field, and you do not prune your vineyard;
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 you do not reap the spontaneous growth of your harvest, and you do not gather the grapes of your separated thing; it is a year of rest for the land.
Quæ sponte gignet humus, non metes: et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam: annus enim requietionis terræ est:
6 And the Sabbath [increase] of the land has been for you for food, to you, and to your manservant, and to your handmaid, and to your hired worker, and to your settler, who are sojourning with you;
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 and for your livestock, and for the beast which [is] in your land, is all its increase for [them] to eat.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quæ nascuntur, præbebunt cibum.
8 And you have numbered seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven Sabbaths of years have been forty-nine years for you,
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 and you have caused a horn of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; in the Day of Atonements you cause a horn to pass over through all your land;
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 and you have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and you have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it is a Jubilee for you; and you have turned back each to his possession; indeed, you return each to his family.
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terræ tuæ: ipse est enim iubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 It [is] a Jubilee, the fiftieth year, it is a year for you; you do not sow, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;
quia iubilæus est et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis, neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 for it [is] a Jubilee—it is holy to you; you eat its increase from the field;
ob sanctificationem iubilæi, sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 you return each to his possession in this Year of the Jubilee.
Anno iubilæi redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And when you sell anything to your fellow, or buy from the hand of your fellow, you do not oppress one another;
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed iuxta numerum annorum iubilei emes ab eo,
15 you buy from your fellow by the number of years after the Jubilee; he sells to you by the number of the years of increase;
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 you multiply its price according to the multitude of the years, and you diminish its price according to the fewness of the years; for [it is] a number of increases [that] he is selling to you;
Quanto plures anni remanserint post iubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit. tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 and you do not oppress one another, and you have been afraid of your God; for I [am] your God YHWH.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 And you have done My statutes, and you keep My judgments, and have done them, and you have dwelt on the land confidently,
Facite præcepta mea, et iudicia custodite, et implete ea, ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 and the land has given its fruit, and you have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And when you say, What do we eat in the seventh year, behold, do we not sow, nor gather our increase?
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 Then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it has made the increase for three years;
Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 and you have sown [in] the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; you eat the old until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 And the land is not sold—to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for you [are] sojourners and settlers 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 you give a redemption for the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestræ sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
25 When your brother becomes poor, and has sold his possession, then his redeemer who is near to him has come, and he has redeemed the sold thing of his brother;
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus eius, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 and when a man has no redeemer, and his own hand has attained [means], and he has found [it] as sufficient [for] its redemption,
sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire:
27 then he has reckoned the years of its sale, and has given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he has returned to his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 And if his hand has not found sufficiency to give back to him, then his sold thing has been in the hand of him who buys it until the Year of Jubilee; and it has gone out in the Jubilee, and he has returned to his possession.
quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum iubileum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum, et ad possessorem pristinum.
29 And when a man sells a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then his right of redemption has been until the completion of a year from its selling; his right of redemption is [during these] days;
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
30 and if it is not redeemed to him until the fullness of a perfect year, then the house which [is] in a walled city has been established to extinction to him buying it, throughout his generations; it does not go out 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 iubileo.
31 And a house of the villages which have no surrounding wall is reckoned on the field of the country; there is redemption for it, and it goes out in the Jubilee.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum iure vendetur. si ante redempta non fuerit, in iubileo revertetur ad dominum.
32 As for cities of the Levites—houses of the cities of their possession—continuous redemption is for the Levites;
Ædes Levitarum, quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 as for him who redeems from the Levites, then the sale of a house (and [in] the city of his possession) has gone out in the Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in iubileo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israel.
34 And a field, a outskirt of their cities, is not sold; for it [is] a continuous possession for them.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And when your brother has become poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you have kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he has lived with you;
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam, et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 you take no usury or increase from him; and you have been afraid of your God; and your brother has lived with you;
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti. Time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 you do not give your money to him in usury, and you do not give your food for increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt to give the land of Canaan to you, to become your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Ægypti, ut darem vobis Terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 And when your brother becomes poor with you, and he has been sold to you, you do not lay servile service on him;
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 he is as a hired worker [and] as a settler with you; he serves with you until the Year of the Jubilee—
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum iubileum operabitur apud te,
41 then he has gone out from you, he and his sons with him, and has turned back to his family; and he turns back to the possession of his fathers.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem ad possessionem patrum suorum.
42 For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;
mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de Terra Ægypti. non veneant conditione servorum:
43 you do not rule over him with rigor, and you have been afraid of your God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 And your manservant and your handmaid whom you have [are] from the nations who [are] around you; you buy manservant and handmaid from them,
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt.
45 and also from the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, you buy from them, and from their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;
Et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
46 and you have taken them for an inheritance for your sons after you, to inherit [for] a possession; you lay service on them for all time, but on your brothers, the sons of Israel, each with his brother—you do not rule over him with rigor.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum. fratres autem vestros filios Israel ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with you attains [riches], and your brother with him has become poor, and he has been sold to a sojourner, a settler with you, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe eius:
48 after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption for him; one of his brothers redeems him,
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 or his uncle or a son of his uncle redeems him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, redeems him, or [if] his own hand has attained [means] then he has been redeemed.
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
50 And he has reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him until the Year of Jubilee, and the money of his sale has been by the number of years; it is with him as the days of a hired worker.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum iubileum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 If many years still [remain], he gives back his redemption [money] according to them, from the money of his purchase.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iubileum, secundum hos reddet et pretium.
52 And if few are left of the years until the Year of Jubilee, then he has reckoned with him [and] he gives back his redemption [money] according to his years;
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 as a hired worker, year by year, he is with him, and he does not rule him with rigor before your eyes.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he has gone out in the Year of Jubilee, he and his sons with him.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno iubileo egredietur cum liberis suis.
55 For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me; they [are] My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.”
Mei enim sunt servi, filii Israel, quos eduxi de Terra Ægypti.
