Leviticus 25
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain,
Pakaiyin Sinai molsang chunga konin, Mose henga hiti hin aseipeh in,
2 “Tell the Israelis [that I, Yahweh, say this]: When you enter the land that I am about to give you, every seventh year you must honor me by [not planting any seeds. You will be] allowing the ground to rest.
Israel chate jouse jah a seiyin, na bonchauva keiman kapehna gam nahung lhun teng uleh agam pumpia jong Pakaiya dia choldam kum anei tei ding ahi.
3 For six years you are to plant seeds in your fields and prune your grapevines and harvest the crops.
Kumgup sunga na loujaova muchi nathe ding, hitia chu kumgup sunga na lengpi thei nalho ngimsela, chuteng aga nakilo ding ahi.
4 But the seventh/next year you must [dedicate] to me, and allow your fields to rest. Do not plant seeds in your fields or prune your grapevines [during that year].
Kum sagi lhinkum levang agamsung pumpin choldam kum anit ding, hitia chu lou jaova muche jeng jong natu thei lou ding, na lengpithei lei jong nalho ngimtah lou ding ahi.
5 Do not reap [the grain] that grows in your fields without having been planted, or harvest the grapes that grow [without the vines being pruned]; you must allow the land to rest for that one year.
Chule changval hung kehdoh ho jong na-at lou ding, lengpi lei lholou laiya hung kehdoh aga ho jong nadon da jeng ding, ajeh chu na boncha diuva choldamna kum ahi.
6 But you are permitted to eat whatever crops grow by themselves during that year without having been planted. You and your male and female servants, and workers whom you have hired, and people who are living among you temporarily are permitted to eat it.
Gamsung pumpia dia choldamna kum ahitan, ami chan cheh ading in chule nangma nahin nasoh pasal ham nasoh numei hijon gleh; natha lah mihem hihen lang gamchom ahung kholjin hijong leh, na bonchauva dia anneh ding nahin ngaito peh diu ahi, ati.
7 Also, [during that year] your livestock and the wild animals in your land are permitted to eat it.’
Nangma gancha ho ahin, na gam'a um gamsa ho jaona hiche gamga soh hochu aneh diu ahi.
8 ‘Also, after every 49 years has ended, you must do this: (On the tenth day of the seventh month/At the end of September) [of the next/50th year], blow trumpets throughout the country, to declare that it will be a day on which you request that I forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
Kum khat sunga hapta sagi nasim dohji ding, hatpa sagi veijen na simdoh ding hitia chu agoma kumsom li leh kumko aphah ding ahi.
Hiche jou tengleh nangman lha sagi lhinna hiche lhasung mama achu, nisom lhin nikho chule sumkon namut ging ding, hichea chu kithoidamna nikho nagam pumpiuva thong jejua sum kon na lhangsap uva nathejal soh diu ahi.
10 Set apart that year, and proclaim that throughout the country, it will be a year of restoring the land and freeing people: All the people [who sold their property] will receive back the property that they previously owned, and slaves must be (freed/allowed to return to [their property and] their families).
Kum nga don ahung lhin teng hiche kum chu kum theng tah ahi, hichu na phonjal diu, gamsung pumpia khosa jouse henga chamlhat kum ahitia naphon jalsoh diu ahi; hiche kum hi naboncha diuva jubilee kum ahitan, mihem koi hileh athilkeo jouse akile lah kit ding, mihem jeng jong ama cheh in muna kile cheh ding nahiuve.
11 That year will be a Year of Celebration; [during that year] do not plant anything, and do not harvest [in the usual way] the grain/wheat that grows without having been planted, or the grapes that grow without the vines being pruned.
Hiche kum somnga lhinkum hi nangho jouse dia jubilee kum ahitan, hiche kuma hi muchi jeng jong natu louhel diu, achama hung keh muche chang jeng jong na-at da jeng diu, lengpilei nalho louna beh a hung kehdoh aga ho jong nadon lou ding ahi, ati.
12 It will be a Year of Celebration, so eat [only] what grows in the fields (by itself/without any work being done to produce anything).
Ajeh chu Jubilee kum hi kum theng tah ahi, na boncha diuva atheng ahi; hijeh chun agamsunga anagasa hobou naneh diu ahi.
13 ‘In that Year of Celebration, everyone must return to their own property.
Hitia chu Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng, na boncha uva koi hileh agoulo cheh chu na kile pehto diu ahi.
14 ‘If you sell some of your land to a fellow Israeli or if you buy some land from one of them, you must treat that person fairly:
Na kinaipi henga na thil joh ham, ahilouleh nathil chohsa ham jeng jong chu, hitia thil joh chung chang leh akijoh doh thil chung changa na sopi khat toh adih louva na kibol to thei lou ding ahi.
15 If you buy land, the price that you will pay will depend on the number of years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. If someone sells land to you, he will charge a price that is determined by the number of years until the next Year of Celebration.
Chule Jubilee aki chaiya pat naheng nakoma na thilchoh chule akum ijat sunga hi jongleh, agamga soh toh kitoh a nangma koma thil ale joh ding ahi, ati.
16 If there will be many years before the next Year of Celebration, the price will be higher; if there will be only a few years until the next Year of Celebration, the price will be lower. [You could say that] what he is really selling you is the number of crops [which you can harvest before the next Year of Celebration].
Kum vang chu ahung tamkhah tah leh hiche thilman chun nasan sah ding, ahinlah akumjat chu alhom khah vangleh athilman jeng jong nalhom sah ding ahi, ajeh chu akum kisim jat dungjuiya aman jong gamga toh ajoh ahi, ati.
17 Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who am commanding this].
Na bonchauva khat leh khat nakisuh gimlou heldiu, hiche sangchun na Pathen chu ging jing in, ajeh chu keima na Pakai leh na Pathenu chu kahi, ati.
18 ‘Obey all my laws [DOU] carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country [DOU].
Na bonchauva ka chonna dan jouse najuikim soh kei diu, hiche ho jouse chutoh natoh doh diu ahi, chuteng gamsung pumpia na bonchauva lungmong sela nakhosah diu ahi.
19 And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.
Agamsunga jong gamga pha hung um doh ding, hitia chu oiva sela naneh thei diu, agam sunga lungmong sela nachen thei diu ahi.
20 But you may ask, “If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?”
Na bonchauva na ngaito uva, kum sagi ahung lhin kum le ipi ham ineh diu, muchi la itu ta pouvin, chang jeng jong i-at lou diu hitam, tia na lung don khah uva ahi leh,
21 [My answer is that] I will bless you very much during the sixth/previous year, with the result that during that year there will be enough crops to provide food for you for three years!
Keima tah in kumgup alhin kumle na boncha chung cheh uva phattheina kahin bung lhah peh diu, hichun kum thum sungsea naneh khop diuva anga ahin sodoh ding ahi.
22 Then, after you plant seed during the eighth/next year [and wait for the crops to grow], you will eat the food grown in the sixth year, and continue to eat it until more food is harvested in the ninth year!
Na bonchauvin kum get lhin kum apat muchi tujong leu chun lhosoh ga aumsa alui hobou naneh diu, kumko ahung lhina lhosohga athah kahsea lhosohga alui hobou naneh na ai diu ahi, ati.
23 ‘You must not sell any of your land to belong to someone else permanently, because the land [is not yours, it]; is really mine, and you are only living on it temporarily and (farming/taking care of) it for me.
Gam leiset kiti jong najoh doh thei lou diu, aneipa kei kahin, na bonchauva gamchom mi kholjina kanei nahiuve, ati.
24 Throughout the country that you will possess, you must remember that if someone sells some of his land to you, he is permitted to buy it back from you [if he wants to].
Hijeh chun hoilai chan hi jongleh nachen na jouse uva, gam leiset lhatdohna man na bonchauva napeh cheh diu ahi.
25 ‘So, if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells some of his property [to obtain some money], the person who is most closely related to him is permitted to come and buy that land for him.
Na sopipa hamkhat hahsatna ato jeh a, agam leiset ajoh doh khah a ahileh, ama bana asopipa chu hunga athiljoh doh chu ahung lhat ding ahi.
26 However, if a man has no one to buy the land for him, and he himself prospers again and saves enough money to buy that land back,
Ahinlah ajoh dohpa ham khat chun, asopi alhat doh thei mi anei tah louva, amavang khonunga ahung haodoh thei dinga auma ahileh, aman ahin kilhat doh thei ding ahi.
27 he must calculate how many years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. Then he must pay to the man who bought the land the money that he would have earned by continuing to grow crops on that land for those years.
Hitia chu agamjoh doh pan jong ajohdoh kuma pat phatah a sim ding, ajohna pa henga chu aman jat apeh dia lom cheng chutoh apeh dohtha ding, chujou tengleh ana chodoh pa chun agam leiset chu aboncha anung peh kit ding ahi.
28 But if the original owner does not have any money to buy the land that he sold, it will continue to belong to the man who bought it, until the next Year of Celebration. In that year it must be returned to its original owner, and he will be able to live on it again.
Ahinlah amapa chun alhat dohna ding aneilouva ahileh, Jubilee kum ahung lhun kahsea ajoh dohnapa koma chu athil joh doh chu chuti um ding ahitan, Jubilee kum ahung lhun phat levang chun achopa chun ale lhatdoh ding, athil neipa chu lechan kit ding ahi.
29 ‘If someone who lives in a city that has a wall around it sells a house there, during the next year he will be permitted to buy it from the man who bought it.
Kula kigensa gam leiset behkah khat tou johdoh a umleh, hiche ajohdoh pa chun ajoh kum sunga chu akile lhat dohthei ding ahi. Ajeh chu kum khat sunga chu akile lhatdohna dia thu anei ahi.
30 If he does not buy it during that year, it will belong permanently to the man who bought it and to his descendants. It must not be returned to the original owner in the Year of Celebration.
Ahinlah a-in chu kum sunga chu alhatdoh jou louva ahileh, khopi sunga kul ki gensa ki johdoh a akichohpa chun akhang lhum keiya anei ding ahitan, Jubilee kum hung lhung jongleh akile lhatna ding thu anei lou ahitai.
31 But houses that are in villages that do not have walls around them are considered to be as though they are in a field. So if someone sells one of those houses, he is permitted to buy it back at any time. And [if he does not buy it], it must be returned to him in the Year of Celebration.
Kul kigen lou khopi neocha sunga in ki johdoh ho vang chu, amin mai maiya ki sim peh ding, hiche ho chu lhatdohna tha um ding, hichu Jubilee kum ahung lhunteng lhatdoh ding ahi.
32 ‘If any descendants of Levi sell their houses in the towns in which they live, they are permitted to buy them back at any time.
Ahinlah Levite chenna khopi ho chu, ama ho ana chennasa akhopi sung uva in ho vang chu, Leviten itih phatlai hi jongleh akile lhatdoh thei diu ahi.
33 And because the houses in their towns are on land that [was given to them by] other Israelis, that land will become theirs again in the Year of Celebration [if they do not buy it back before then].
Koi hileh Levi mite akona athuneina aman chah louva ahileh, amaho chenna khopi sunga ana kijoh dohsa in vangchu, Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng kile peh cheh cheh ding ahi, ajeh chu Israel chate chenna tin cheng chu Levi mite dia amaho goulo jeng ahibouve.
34 But the pastureland near their towns must not be sold. It must belong to the original owners permanently/forever.
Levi mite dia kikoi gam beh jouse chu, khat a khat cha kijoh doh thei lou ding, hichu amaho dia tonsot goulo ding ahi.
35 ‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and is unable to buy what he needs [IDM], others of you must help him like you would help a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] temporarily.
Na sopipa chu aneilel valtah a, nakom tah a akivah lelna aum doh a ahileh, nangman jong ima dang gel louva ama chu navah jeng ding, kholgam akona jin banga nakom a khosa jeng ding ahi.
36 [If you lend money to him], do not charge any kind of interest [DOU]. Instead, [show by what you do that you] revere me, your God, and help that man, in order that he will be able to continue to live among you.
Natoh le tham akon in apung akal jong tep peh dan lang, na Pathen maiven na sopipa chu nakoma khosa teijo hen, ati.
37 If you lend him money, do not charge interest; and if you sell food to him, [charge him only what you paid for it]; do not get a profit from it.
Ama chu veikan dia sum bat napeh thei lou ding, nehle chah jeng jong apung dia nei peh lou ding ahi.
38 [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God and to give you the land of Canaan, [and I did not charge you for doing that].
Ajeh chu kei matah hi na Pakaiyu leh na Pathenu kahin, nang ho Pathen kahiye tia Cannan gam kapeh diu ahitia, Egypt gam'a kona nahin puigal kaipau chu kahi, ati.
39 ‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not force him to work like a slave.
Hijeh chun nangma nai lama cheng na sopipa chu anei lelval tah a nangma koma ama le ama ahung ki peh lut tah leh, ama chu soh tobanga nagoi thei lou ding ahi.
40 Treat him like you treat workers that you hire or like someone who is living on your land temporarily. But he must work for you [only] until the Year of Celebration.
Amapa chu na koma thalah mi banga khosa jeng ding, Jubilee kum ahung lhun kahsea na koma khosa ding ahi.
41 During that year, you must free him, and he will go back to his family and to the property that his ancestors owned.
Jubilee akichai teng nangma dalhaa pot tading achate jouse jaona che diu, a insung lama leche diu, apu apa khanga gou ho chu lechan ding ahiuve.
42 [It is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I [freed from being slaves] in Egypt. So none of you should be sold to become slaves.
Ajeh chu abonchauva keima lhachaa pang ahiuvin; abonchauva Egypt gam'a kona kahin puigal kai ahiuve, hiche jeh chun amaho hi abonchauva sohjoh a najoh doh lou diu ahi.
43 And do not treat the Israelis whom you buy cruelly; instead, revere me, your God.
Nangman ama ho jouse munemna neitah a thu nasei lou ding, na Pathen ging khencha hinkho naman ding ahi.
44 ‘If you want to have slaves, you are permitted to buy them from nearby countries.
Soh pasal ho in numei jong nanei jeng thei ahin, hiche soh ding achu nakom lah a namtin vaipi hochu na chohdoh a navul thei ahi.
45 You are also permitted to buy some of the foreigners who are living among you, and members of their clans that were born in your country. Then you will own them.
Na bonchauva nalah uva chenglut kholgam mih hochu nachoh doh uva, soh a nalap thei diu ahi, nagam sung pumpiuva chengsa ho jong nachoh thei diu, hitobang mi nachoh doh hou chu na in cheh uva uma nalap le thei diu ahi.
46 They will be your slaves for the remaining years of your life, and after you die, it is permitted for your children to own them. But you must not act in brutal ways toward your fellow Israelis.
Chule soh ho chu na chateu banga na goulo diuva na umsah uva, khonunga goulo ding jong nakoi peh diu, nangho Israelte lah a vang khat in khat chunga thuneina tah a vaihoma chatloh thei lou ding ah.
47 ‘If a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] becomes rich, and if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to that foreigner or to a member of his clan/family,
Na koma cheng kholjin mi chu ahung haodoh jeng tah a, na koma cheng na sopi pakhat machu achen dan ahah satval tah a ahileh; amajeng jong na koma cheng kholjin mipa koma ahung kipeh doh jeng tah a ahileh, chule asopi ho kom ham khat a akijoh doh jeng tah a ahileh,
48 it is permitted for someone to pay for him to be freed. It is permitted for one of his relatives to pay for him to be released:
Hitia akijoh nunga chu lelhat kit thei ahi, asopi ho lah akona khat penpen in amapa chu ale lhat kit ding,
49 An uncle or a cousin or another relative in his clan may pay for him to be released. Or, if he prospers [and gets enough money], he is permitted to pay for his own release.
Ahilouleh apaneo ham apaneo chapa ham khat in jong ale lhat thei ahi, amatoh kinai asopi aheng akom aphung chan khompi ainsung toh kinai pen khat injong alhat doh thei ding, hiche kala chu ama le ama ahung neijou tah levang ama chama kilhat ding ahi.
50 The man who wants to pay for his own release must count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration. The price he pays to the man who bought him will depend on the pay that would be given to a hired worker for that number of years.
Ana ki chohdoh patoh akinopto banga, ama le ama akijoh doh niapat Jubilee kum chana asim ding, aman jat chu akum tam leh lhom dungjuiya alepeh ding ahi, anakichoh pan amapa alap sungsea chu thalah man toh kibang ding ahi.
51 If there are a lot of years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay for his release a larger amount of the money.
Jubilee kum lhunna ding kum phabep avat nah laileh, aki lhatdohna dia ana ki chohdohna man chu alang khat alepeh ding ahi.
52 If there are only a few years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay a smaller amount to be released.
Ahinlah Jubilee lhinna ding chu kum lhomcha akivat tah a ahileh, aki choh apat akum jat chu avet toh lhon ding, hiche kuma pat chu atohman jat dungjuiya avaldoh chengse chu akile lhat dohna dia ale dip ding ahi.
53 During the years that he is working for the man who bought him, the man who bought him must treat him like he would treat a hired worker, and all of you must make sure that his owner does not treat him cruelly.
Tohman akisim teng hichepa chu thagoi man bep bep a kisim peh ding, koi hileh hichepa tobang chunga engset nanei thei hoa kona navet tup ding ahi.
54 ‘And even if a fellow Israeli who has sold himself to a rich man is not able to pay for himself to be freed by any of these ways, he and his children must be freed in the Year of Celebration,
Hiche ho jouse nunga hi, amapa hi aki lhatdoh joulou tah vangleh, chuti uma Jubilee kum ahung lhun teng lhat ding, ama ahin achate jouse jaona lhat tha ding ahitai.
55 because [it is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I, Yahweh your God, freed from [being slaves in] Egypt.’”
Ajeh chu Israel chate hi abonchauva keima lhacha ngen ahiuvin, amaho hi ka lhacha ahin, Egypt gam'a kona keima tah in kahin puigal kai ahiuvin, keima hi na Pakaiyu le na Pathenu chu kahi jinge, ati.
