Leviticus 25
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying—
耶和華在西奈山對摩西說：
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: —When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.
「你曉諭以色列人說：你們到了我所賜你們那地的時候，地就要向耶和華守安息。
3 Six years, shalt thou sow thy field, and, six years, shalt thou prune thy vineyard, —and gather the increase thereof;
六年要耕種田地，也要修理葡萄園，收藏地的出產。
4 but, in the seventh year—a sabbath of sacred rest, shall there be unto the land, a sabbath unto Yahweh: thy field, shalt thou not sow, and, thy vineyard, shalt thou not prune;
第七年，地要守聖安息，就是向耶和華守的安息，不可耕種田地，也不可修理葡萄園。
5 that which groweth of itself of thy harvest, shalt thou not reap; and the grapes of thine unpruned vines, shalt thou not cut off: a year of sacred rest, shall there be to the land.
遺落自長的莊稼不可收割；沒有修理的葡萄樹也不可摘取葡萄。這年，地要守聖安息。
6 So shall the sabbath of the land be unto you for food: unto thee, and unto thy servant and unto thy handmaid, —and unto thy hireling, and unto thy settlers that are sojourning with thee;
地在安息年所出的，要給你和你的僕人、婢女、雇工人，並寄居的外人當食物。
7 and unto thy tame-beasts, and unto the wild-beasts that are in thy land, shall belong all the increase thereof for food.
這年的土產也要給你的牲畜和你地上的走獸當食物。」
8 And thou shalt count to thee seven weeks of years, seven years, seven times, —so shall the days of the seven weeks of years become to thee forty-nine years.
「你要計算七個安息年，就是七七年。這便為你成了七個安息年，共是四十九年。
9 Then shalt thou cause a signal-horn to pass through in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month: on the Day of Propitiation, shall ye cause a horn to pass throughout all your land.
當年七月初十日，你要大發角聲；這日就是贖罪日，要在遍地發出角聲。
10 So shall ye hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim freedom throughout the land to all the dwellers thereof, —a jubilee, shall it be unto you, and ye shall return, every man unto his possession, and every man unto his family, shall ye return.
第五十年，你們要當作聖年，在遍地給一切的居民宣告自由。這年必為你們的禧年，各人要歸自己的產業，各歸本家。
11 A jubilee, shall that fiftieth year be unto you, —ye shall not sow, neither shall ye reap the self-grown corn thereof, nor cut off the grapes of the unpruned vines thereof.
第五十年要作為你們的禧年。這年不可耕種；地中自長的，不可收割；沒有修理的葡萄樹也不可摘取葡萄。
12 For, a jubilee, it is, holy, shall it be unto you, —out of the field, shall ye eat her increase.
因為這是禧年，你們要當作聖年，吃地中自出的土產。
13 In this same jubilee year, shall ye return every man unto his possession.
「這禧年，你們各人要歸自己的地業。
14 And when ye sell anything to thy neighbour, or buy aught at thy neighbour’s hand, do not overreach one another.
你若賣甚麼給鄰舍，或是從鄰舍的手中買甚麼，彼此不可虧負。
15 By the number of years after the jubilee, shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, —by the number of the years of increase, shall he sell unto thee;
你要按禧年以後的年數向鄰舍買；他也要按年數的收成賣給你。
16 according to the multitude of the years, shalt thou increase the price thereof, and, according to the fewness of the years, shalt thou diminish the price thereof, —because the sum of the increase, it is that he selleth thee.
年歲若多，要照數加添價值；年歲若少，要照數減去價值，因為他照收成的數目賣給你。
17 So then ye shall not overreach one another; but thou shalt stand in awe of thy God, —for, I—Yahweh, am your God.
你們彼此不可虧負，只要敬畏你們的上帝，因為我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and my regulations, shall ye observe and do them, —so shall ye dwell upon the land with confidence;
「我的律例，你們要遵行，我的典章，你們要謹守，就可以在那地上安然居住。
19 and the land shall yield her fruit; and ye shall eat to the full, —and shall dwell with confidence thereupon.
地必出土產，你們就要吃飽，在那地上安然居住。
20 And since ye may say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? Lo! we are not to sow, neither are we to gather our increase!
你們若說：『這第七年我們不耕種，也不收藏土產，吃甚麼呢？』
21 Therefore will I command my blessing upon you, in the sixth year, —and it shall make the increase of three years;
我必在第六年將我所命的福賜給你們，地便生三年的土產。
22 and ye shall sow, the eighth year, and eat of old store, —until the ninth year until the coming in of the increase thereof, shall ye eat old store.
第八年，你們要耕種，也要吃陳糧，等到第九年出產收來的時候，你們還吃陳糧。」
23 The land moreover shall not be sold beyond recovery, for, mine, is the land, —for, sojourners and settlers, ye are with me.
「地不可永賣，因為地是我的；你們在我面前是客旅，是寄居的。
24 And, in all the land of your possession, a right of redemption, shall ye give to the land.
在你們所得為業的全地，也要准人將地贖回。
25 When thy brother waxeth poor, and so selleth aught of his possession, then may his kinsman that is near unto him come in, and redeem that which was sold by his brother.
你的弟兄若漸漸窮乏，賣了幾分地業，他至近的親屬就要來把弟兄所賣的贖回。
26 And, when, any man, hath no kinsman, —but his own hand getteth enough, so that he findeth what is needed to redeem it,
若沒有能給他贖回的，他自己漸漸富足，能夠贖回，
27 then shall he reckon the years since he sold it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it, —and shall return to his possession.
就要算出賣地的年數，把餘剩年數的價值還那買主，自己便歸回自己的地業。
28 But, if his hand have not found enough to get it back unto him, then shall that which he sold remain in the hand of him that bought it, until the year of the jubilee, —and shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return unto his possession.
倘若不能為自己得回所賣的，仍要存在買主的手裏直到禧年；到了禧年，地業要出買主的手，自己便歸回自己的地業。
29 And, when, any man, selleth a dwelling-house in a walled city, then shall his right of redemption remain until the completion of a year after he sold it, —for, [a year of] days, shall his right of redemption remain.
「人若賣城內的住宅，賣了以後，一年之內可以贖回；在一整年，必有贖回的權柄。
30 But, if it be not redeemed before the end of a full year, then shall the house that is in the city that hath walls be confirmed, beyond recovery, to him who bought it, unto his generations, —it shall not go out in the jubilee.
若在一整年之內不贖回，這城內的房屋就定准永歸買主，世世代代為業；在禧年也不得出買主的手。
31 But as for the houses of villages which have no wall round about them, with the fields of land, shall it be reckoned, —a right of redemption, shall belong to it, and, in the jubilee, shall it go out.
但房屋在無城牆的村莊裏，要看如鄉下的田地一樣，可以贖回；到了禧年，都要出買主的手。
32 And as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, an age-abiding right of redemption, shall pertain unto the Levites.
然而利未人所得為業的城邑，其中的房屋，利未人可以隨時贖回。
33 And, if one of the Levites should not redeem, then shall the sale of the house and the city of his possession go out in the jubilee; for, the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession, in the midst of the sons of Israel.
若是一個利未人不將所賣的房屋贖回，是在所得為業的城內，到了禧年就要出買主的手，因為利未人城邑的房屋是他們在以色列人中的產業。
34 But the field of the pasture-land of their cities, shall not be sold, —for an age-abiding possession, it is unto them.
只是他們各城郊野之地不可賣，因為是他們永遠的產業。」
35 And, when thy brother waxeth poor, and his hand becometh feeble with thee, then shalt thou strengthen him, as a sojourner and a settler, so shall he live with thee.
「你的弟兄在你那裏若漸漸貧窮，手中缺乏，你就要幫補他，使他與你同住，像外人和寄居的一樣。
36 Do not accept from him interest or profit, but stand thou in awe of thy God, —so shall thy brother live with thee.
不可向他取利，也不可向他多要；只要敬畏你的上帝，使你的弟兄與你同住。
37 Thy silver, shalt thou not give him on interest, —neither, for profit, shalt thou give him thy food.
你借錢給他，不可向他取利；借糧給他，也不可向他多要。
38 I—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, —to give unto you the land of Canaan, to become your God,
我是耶和華－你們的上帝，曾領你們從埃及地出來，為要把迦南地賜給你們，要作你們的上帝。」
39 And when thy brother waxeth poor with thee, and so selleth himself unto thee, thou shalt not bind him with the bondage of a bondman:
「你的弟兄若在你那裏漸漸窮乏，將自己賣給你，不可叫他像奴僕服事你。
40 as a hired servant, as a settler, shall he remain with thee, —until the year of the jubilee, shall he serve with thee:
他要在你那裏像雇工人和寄居的一樣，要服事你直到禧年。
41 then shall he go forth from thee, he and his sons with him, —and shall return unto his family, and unto the possession of his fathers, shall he return.
到了禧年，他和他兒女要離開你，一同出去歸回本家，到他祖宗的地業那裏去。
42 For, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt, —they shall not sell themselves with the sale of a bondman.
因為他們是我的僕人，是我從埃及地領出來的，不可賣為奴僕。
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour, —so shalt thou stand in awe of thy God.
不可嚴嚴地轄管他，只要敬畏你的上帝。
44 And as for thy bondman and thy bond-maid which thou shalt have, of the nations that are round about you—from them, may ye buy bondman and bond-maid.
至於你的奴僕、婢女，可以從你四圍的國中買。
45 Moreover also, of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you—of them, may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land, —so shall they become yours, as a possession;
並且那寄居在你們中間的外人和他們的家屬，在你們地上所生的，你們也可以從其中買人；他們要作你們的產業。
46 and ye may take them as an inheritance for your sons after you to inherit as a possession, unto times age-abiding, of them, may ye take to be bondmen, —but, over your brethren the sons of Israel—a man over his brother, ye shall not rule, over him with rigour.
你們要將他們遺留給你們的子孫為產業，要永遠從他們中間揀出奴僕；只是你們的弟兄以色列人，你們不可嚴嚴地轄管。
47 And, when the hand of the sojourner and settler with thee getteth possessions, and thy brother with him, waxeth poor, —and so he selleth himself to the sojourner [who is] a settler with thee, or to one who hath taken root, of the family of the sojourner,
「住在你那裏的外人，或是寄居的，若漸漸富足，你的弟兄卻漸漸窮乏，將自己賣給那外人，或是寄居的，或是外人的宗族，
48 after that he hath sold himself, a right of redemption, pertaineth to him, —one of his brethren, may redeem him;
賣了以後，可以將他贖回。無論是他的弟兄，
49 or, his uncle or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or, a near flesh-relation of his, of his family, may redeem him, or, his own hand may have gotten enough, and, so he may redeem himself.
或伯叔、伯叔的兒子，本家的近支，都可以贖他。他自己若漸漸富足，也可以自贖。
50 Then shall he reckon with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, unto the year of the jubilee, —and the silver for which he was sold shall be by the number of years, according to the days of a hired servant, shall he be with him.
他要和買主計算，從賣自己的那年起，算到禧年；所賣的價值照着年數多少，好像工人每年的工價。
51 If there is yet a multitude of years, according to them, shall he return, as his redemption price, of the silver of him that bought him.
若缺少的年數多，就要按着年數從買價中償還他的贖價。
52 Or, if [there is] but a small remainder of years, until the year of the jubilee, then shall he reckon to himself, according to the years thereof, shall he return his price of redemption.
若到禧年只缺少幾年，就要按着年數和買主計算，償還他的贖價。
53 As a servant hired year by year, shall he be with him, he shall not rule over him with rigour, before thine eyes.
他和買主同住，要像每年雇的工人，買主不可嚴嚴地轄管他。
54 But if he be not redeemed in any of these ways, then shall he go out in the jubilee year, he, and his sons with him.
他若不這樣被贖，到了禧年，要和他的兒女一同出去。
55 For, unto me, are the sons of Israel, bondmen, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I, Yahweh, am your God.
因為以色列人都是我的僕人，是我從埃及地領出來的。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
