< Leviticus 25 >

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses on [the] mountain of Sinai saying.
YHWH said to Moses in Mount Sinai,
2 Speak to [the] people of Israel and you will say to them if you will go into the land which I [am] about to give to you and it will cease the land a sabbath to Yahweh.
"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 YHWH.
3 Six years you will sow field your and six years you will prune vineyard your and you will gather produce its.
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
4 And in the year seventh a sabbath of sabbath observance it will belong to the land a sabbath to Yahweh field your not you will sow and vineyard your not you will prune.
but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 [the] self-sown grain of Harvest your not you will harvest and [the] grapes untrimmed vines your not you will gather grapes a year of sabbath observance it will belong to the land.
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.
6 And it will belong [the] sabbath of the land to you to food to you and to [male] slave your and to female slave your and to hired laborer your and to resident alien your who are sojourning with you.
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.
7 And to livestock your and to the animal[s] which [is] in land your it will be all produce its to eat.
For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
8 And you will count for yourself seven sabbaths of years seven years seven times and they will be to you [the] days of seven [the] sabbaths of years nine and forty year[s].
"'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.
9 And you will cause to pass through a ram's horn of [the] sound of a loud blast in the month seventh on the ten of the month on [the] day of atonement you will cause to pass a ram's horn in all land your.
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.
10 And you will set apart as holy [the] year of the fifty year and you will proclaim liberty in the land for all inhabitants its a jubilee it it will be to you and you will return each one to possession his and each one to clan his you will return.
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.
11 A jubilee it [the] year of the fifty year it will be to you not you will sow and not you will harvest self-sown grain its and not you will gather grapes untrimmed vines its.
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.
12 For [is] a jubilee it a holy thing it will be to you from the field you will eat produce its.
For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
13 In [the] year of the jubilee this you will return each one to possession his.
"'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14 And if you will sell a thing sold to fellow citizen your or you will buy from [the] hand of fellow citizen your may not you maltreat each brother his.
"'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
15 By [the] number of years after the jubilee you will buy from with fellow citizen your by [the] number of [the] years of produce he will sell [it] to you.
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.
16 To [the] mouth of - [the] abundance of the years you will increase purchase price its and to [the] mouth of [the] being small of the years you will make small purchase price its for [the] number of produce he [is] selling to you.
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 And not you will maltreat anyone fellow citizen his and you will fear from God your for I [am] Yahweh God your.
You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am YHWH your God.
18 And you will do statutes my and judgments my you will keep and you will do them and you will dwell on the land to security.
"'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 And it will give the land fruit its and you will eat to abundance and you will dwell to security on it.
The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
20 And if you will say what? will we eat in the year seventh here! not we will sow and not we will gather produce our.
If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Look, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
21 And I will command blessing my for you in the year sixth and it will make the produce for [the] three the years.
then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
22 And you will sow the year eighth and you will eat from the produce old harvest until - the year ninth until comes produce its you will eat old harvest.
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.
23 And the land not it will be sold to perpetuity for [belongs] to me the land for [are] sojourners and resident aliens you with me.
"'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
24 And in all [the] land of possession your [the] right of redemption you will give of the land.
In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 If he will become impoverished brother your and he will sell some of possession his and he will come kinsman-redeemer his near to him and he will redeem [the] thing sold of brother his.
"'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.
26 And anyone if not he will belong to him a kinsman-redeemer and it will reach hand his and he will find according to [the] sufficiency of redemption its.
If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;
27 And he will calculate [the] years of sale its and he will repay the surplus to the person whom he sold [it] to him and he will return to possession his.
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.
28 And if not it has found hand his sufficiency to repay to him and it will be thing sold his in [the] hand of the [one who] bought it until [the] year of the jubilee and it will go out in the jubilee and he will return to possession his.
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.
29 And anyone if he will sell a house of dwelling of a city of a wall and it will be right of redemption its until is finished [the] year of sale its days it will be right of redemption its.
"'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.
30 And if not it will be redeemed until is completed to it a year complete and it will stand the house which [is] in the city which ([belongs] to it *Q(K)*) a wall to perpetuity to the [one who] bought it to generations his not it will go out in the jubilee.
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.
31 And [the] houses of the villages which not [belongs] to them a wall round about to [the] field of the land it will be reckoned a right of redemption it will belong to it and in the jubilee it will go out.
But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; they may be redeemed; and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 And [the] cities of the Levites [the] houses of [the] cities of possession their a right of redemption of perpetuity it will belong to the Levites.
"'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem forever.
33 And that he will redeem one of the Levites and it will go out [the] sale of [the] house and [the] city of possession his in the jubilee for [the] houses of [the] cities of the Levites it [is] possession their in among [the] people of Israel.
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.
34 And [the] field of [the] pasture land of cities their not it will be sold for [is] a possession of perpetuity it to them.
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 And if he will become impoverished brother your and it will slip hand his with you and you will strengthen him a sojourner and a resident alien and he will live with you.
"'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.
36 May not you take from with him interest and profit and you will fear from God your and he will live brother your with you.
Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you.
37 Silver your not you will give to him for interest and for profit not you will give food your.
You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
38 I [am] Yahweh God your who I brought out you from [the] land of Egypt to give to you [the] land of Canaan to become for you God.
I am YHWH your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 And if he will become impoverished brother your with you and he will sell himself to you not you will labor by him [the] labor of a slave.
"'If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
40 Like a hired laborer like a resident alien he will be with you until [the] year of the jubilee he will serve with you.
As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee:
41 And he will go out from with you he and sons his with him and he will return to clan his and to [the] possession of ancestors his he will return.
then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
42 For [are] servants my they whom I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt not they will be sold a sale of a slave.
For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43 Not you will rule over him with harshness and you will fear from God your.
You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
44 And [male] slave your and female slave your who they will belong to you from with the nations which [are] around you from them you will buy a [male] slave and a female slave.
"'As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
45 And also some of [the] children of the resident aliens who sojourn with you from them you will buy and from clan their which [is] with you which they have fathered in land your and they will belong to you to a possession.
Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
46 And you will give as an inheritance them to sons your after you to take possession of a possession for ever by them you will labor and over brothers your [the] people of Israel each over brother his not you will rule over him with harshness.
You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
47 And if it will reach [the] hand of a sojourner and a resident alien with you and he will become impoverished brother your with him and he will sell himself to a sojourner a resident alien with you or to a member of [the] clan of a sojourner.
"'If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger's family;
48 After he has sold himself a right of redemption it will belong to him one of brothers his he will redeem him.
after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
49 Or uncle his or [the] son of uncle his he will redeem him or any of [the] relative[s] of flesh his from clan his he will redeem him or it has reached hand his and he will redeem himself.
or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.
50 And he will calculate with [the] [one who] bought him from [the] year he sold himself to him until [the] year of the jubilee and it will be [the] silver of sale his by [the] number of years according to [the] days of a hired laborer he will be with him.
He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.
51 If still many in the years to mouth their he will repay redemption his some of [the] silver of purchase his.
If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 And if few it remains in the years until [the] year of the jubilee and he will calculate for himself according to [the] mouth of years his he will repay redemption his.
If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.
53 Like a hired laborer of a year in a year he will be with him not he will rule over him with harshness to eyes your.
As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
54 And if not he will be redeemed in these [ways] and he will go out in [the] year of the jubilee he and sons his with him.
If he isn't redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him.
55 For of me [the] people of Israel [are] servants [are] servants my they whom I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt I [am] Yahweh God your.
For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your God.
