Leviticus 25
1 The LORD said to Moses in Mount Sinai,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼugwu Saịnaị sị ya,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị ha, ‘Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ m ga-enye unu, unu ga-eme ka ala ahụ nwee afọ izuike nke ya nye Onyenwe anyị.
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
Afọ isii ka unu ga-akụ ihe nʼubi, afọ isii ka unu ga-ewe ihe ubi, kwachaakwa alaka osisi vaịnị unu.
4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
Ma mgbe o ruru afọ nke asaa, unu ga-ahapụ ala ubi unu ka o zuo ike, afọ izuike nye Onyenwe anyị. Unu akụla ihe ọbụla nʼubi unu maọbụ kwachaa osisi vaịnị unu.
5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
Unu agaghị ewe ihe ubi ọbụla ga-epupụtara onwe ha nʼoge a, maọbụ tụtụọ mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị ndị ga-ada ada. Nʼihi na afọ ahụ bụ afọ ozuzu ike dịrị ala ubi niile.
6 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
Ihe ubi puputara nʼala ahụ niile nʼafọ izuike ahụ bụ nri dịrị unu onwe unu, na ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị unu niile, na onye i goro ọrụ, na onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu.
7 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
Ihe ubi ahụ dịkwara anụ ụlọ gị, na anụ ọhịa bi nʼala gị. Ihe ọbụla puputara nʼala bụ ihe unu ga-eri.
8 "'You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
“‘Gụpụta afọ izuike asaa, afọ asaa, ụzọ asaa. Ngụkọ afọ izuike ndị a niile ga-enye iri afọ anọ na itoolu.
9 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.
Nʼụbọchị nke iri nke ọnwa asaa, zipụ onye ga-egbu opi ike, ya bụ, nʼụbọchị mkpuchi mmehie, a ga-egbu opi ike nʼala Izrel niile.
10 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
Doonụ afọ nke iri ise ahụ nsọ, kwusaakwa inwere onwe nye mmadụ niile nʼala ahụ niile. Afọ ahụ ga-abụ afọ inwere onwe nye unu. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-alaghachi nʼihe onwunwe nke ezinaụlọ ya, onye ọbụla kwa ga-alaghachi nʼagbụrụ ya.
11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.
Afọ nke iri ise bụ afọ inwere onwe nye unu. A gaghị akụ ihe ọbụla nʼubi, a gakwaghị ewe ihe ubi ọbụla puputara nʼonwe ya, maọbụ mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị mịrị nʼonwe ya.
12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
Ọ bụ afọ inwere onwe, bụrụkwa afọ dị nsọ nye unu, nke onye ọbụla ga-eri naanị ihe e wetara nʼubi.
13 "'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
“‘Onye ọbụla ga-alaghachi nʼihe onwunwe nke ya, nʼafọ inwere onwe a.
14 "'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na i resiri onye agbataobi gị ala, maọbụ na o nwere nke ọ zụrụ site nʼaka gị, unu aghọgbula ibe unu.
15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
Ị ga-azụrụ ala site nʼaka onye agbataobi dịka ọnụọgụgụ afọ si dị site nʼafọ inwere onwe. Ha ga-eresi gị ya dịka ọnụọgụgụ afọ ole fọdụrụ maka ịkọ ihe nʼala ahụ.
16 According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.

17 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
Unu emegbula ibe unu kama tụọnụ egwu Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
18 "'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
“‘Gbasoonụ ụkpụrụ m, ma lezie anya imezu ihe m nyere nʼiwu, ka unu nwee ike ibi obi udo nʼala ahụ.
19 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
Mgbe ahụ, ala ga-amị mkpụrụ ya, unu ga-eriju afọ, birikwa nʼala ahụ nʼudo.
20 If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Look, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
Unu nwere ike jụọ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eri nʼafọ nke asaa ahụ ebe ọ bụ na anyị agaghị akụ ihe ọbụla, maọbụ wee ihe ubi ọbụla nʼafọ ahụ?”
21 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
Aga m ezitere unu ngọzị dị ukwuu nʼafọ nke isii, nke ga-eme ka ala mee ihe omume nke ga-ezuru unu afọ atọ.
22 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
Mgbe unu ga-akụ ihe ubi nʼafọ nke asatọ unu ga na-eri site nʼowuwe ihe ubi ochie unu tutu ruo nʼafọ nke itoolu mgbe unu ga-ewebata ihe ubi ọhụrụ.
23 "'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
“‘Chetanụ na ala bụ nke m, nʼihi nke a, o kwesighị ka unu ree ala ọbụla kpamkpam. Unu bụ naanị ndị ọbịa na ndị nlekọta nye m.
24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
Nʼala obibi unu niile, unu ga-enye ohere maka mgbapụta ala erere ere.
25 "'If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na otu onye nʼime unu aghọọ onye ogbenye si otu a ree ala ya, nwanna ya dị ya nso ga-abịa gbapụta ala ahụ.
26 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;
Ọ bụrụ na-enweghị onye ga-agbapụta ala ahụ nye ha, ma ha mesịa ghọọ ndị bara ụba nwekwa ihe ga-ezu ịgbapụta ala ahụ nʼonwe ha.
27 then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.
A ga-agụ afọ ole gara site na mgbe o rere ala ahụ, nyeghachi ya ego ole o kwesiri inweta. Onye rere ala ga-alaghachikwa nʼala ya.
28 But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
Ọ bụrụ na onyenwe ya enweghị ike ịchọta ego ọ ga-eji gbara ya, ala ahụ ga-adị nʼaka onye ahụ zụrụ ya tutu ruo nʼafọ inwere onwe. Mgbe ahụ ọ ga-ewerekwa ala ahụ nyeghachi ya onye resiri ya.
29 "'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
“‘Onye ọbụla rere ụlọ obibi dị nʼobodo e ji mgbidi gbaa gburugburu nwere ikike mgbapụta ya naanị mgbe otu afọ zuru site na mgbe e rere ya. Nʼoge ahụ ka onye rere ya nwere ike ịgbaghachi ya.
30 If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
Ọ bụrụ na a gbapụtaghị ya tupu otu afọ agafee, ụlọ ahụ dị nʼime obodo nwere mgbidi ga-abụ nke onye ahụ zụrụ ya mgbe niile, bụrụkwa nke ụmụ ụmụ ya. A gaghị enyeghachikwa ya mgbe afọ inwere onwe ruru.

32 "'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem forever.
“‘Ma banyere obodo niile nke ndị Livayị dị iche iche. Ha nwere ikike ịgbapụta ụlọ ha dị nʼime nketa ha mgbe ọbụla.
33 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Ihe onwunwe ndị Livayị bụ nke e nwere ike ịgbapụta, bụ ndị a, ụlọ niile e rere nke dị nʼobodo ha nwere. Ọ ga-abụ nʼafọ inwere onwe ka aga enwetaghachi ha, nʼihi na ụlọ ndị ahụ dị nʼobodo ndị Livayị bụ naanị oke ha nwere nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.

35 "'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't support him among you; then you shall uphold him. As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.

“‘Ọ bụrụ na onye Izrel ọbụla adaa ogbenye, resi gị onwe ya, emela ka o jere gị ozi dịka onye ohu.
