Leviticus 25
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain,
Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés en el monte de Sinaí, diciendo:
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.
Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra que yo os doy, la tierra hará sábado á Jehová.
3 For six years you are to plant seeds in your fields and prune your grapevines and harvest the crops.
Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y seis años podarás tu viña, y cogerás sus frutos;
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].
Y el séptimo año la tierra tendrá sábado de holganza, sábado á Jehová: no sembrarás tu tierra, ni podarás tu viña.
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.
Lo que de suyo se naciere en tu [tierra] segada, no lo segarás; y las uvas de tu viñedo no vendimiarás: año de holganza será á la tierra.
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.
Mas el sábado de la tierra os será para comer á ti, y á tu siervo, y á tu sierva, y á tu criado, y á tu extranjero que morare contigo:
7 Also, [during that year] your livestock and the wild animals in your land are permitted to eat it.’
Y á tu animal, y á la bestia que hubiere en tu tierra, será todo el fruto de ella para comer.
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.
Y te has de contar siete semanas de años, siete veces siete años; de modo que los días de las siete semanas de años vendrán á serte cuarenta y nueve años.
Entonces harás pasar la trompeta de jubilación en el mes séptimo á los diez del mes; el día de la expiación haréis pasar la trompeta por toda vuestra tierra.
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).
Y santificaréis el año cincuenta, y pregonaréis libertad en la tierra á todos sus moradores: éste os será jubileo; y volveréis cada uno á su posesión, y cada cual volverá á su familia.
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.
El año de los cincuenta años os será jubileo: no sembraréis, ni segaréis lo que naciere de suyo en la tierra, ni vendimiaréis sus viñedos:
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).
Porque es jubileo: santo será á vosotros; el producto de la tierra comeréis.
13 ‘In that Year of Celebration, everyone must return to their own property.
En este año de jubileo volveréis cada uno á su posesión.
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:
Y cuando vendiereis algo á vuestro prójimo, ó comprareis de mano de vuestro prójimo, no engañe ninguno á su hermano:
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.
Conforme al número de los años después del jubileo comprarás de tu prójimo; conforme al número de los años de los frutos te venderá él á ti.
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].
Conforme á la multitud de los años aumentarás el precio, y conforme á la disminución de los años disminuirás el precio; porque según el número de los rendimientos te ha de vender él.
17 Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who am commanding this].
Y no engañe ninguno á su prójimo; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios: porque yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
18 ‘Obey all my laws [DOU] carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country [DOU].
Ejecutad, pues, mis estatutos, y guardad mis derechos, y ponedlos por obra, y habitaréis en la tierra seguros;
19 And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.
Y la tierra dará su fruto, y comeréis hasta hartura, y habitaréis en ella con seguridad.
20 But you may ask, “If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?”
Y si dijereis: ¿Qué comeremos el séptimo año? he aquí no hemos de sembrar, ni hemos de coger nuestros frutos:
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!
Entonces yo os enviaré mi bendición el sexto año, y hará fruto por tres años.
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!
Y sembraréis el año octavo, y comeréis del fruto añejo; hasta el año noveno, hasta que venga su fruto comeréis del añejo.
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.
Y la tierra no se venderá rematadamente, porque la tierra mía es; que vosotros peregrinos y extranjeros sois para conmigo.
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].
Por tanto, en toda la tierra de vuestra posesión, otorgaréis redención á la tierra.
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.
Cuando tu hermano empobreciere, y vendiere algo de su posesión, vendrá el rescatador, su cercano, y rescatará lo que su hermano hubiere vendido.
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,
Y cuando el hombre no tuviere rescatador, si alcanzare su mano, y hallare lo que basta para su rescate;
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.
Entonces contará los años de su venta, y pagará lo que quedare al varón á quien vendió, y volverá á su posesión.
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.
Mas si no alcanzare su mano lo que basta para que vuelva á él, lo que vendió estará en poder del que lo compró hasta el año del jubileo; y al jubileo saldrá, y él volverá á su posesión.
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.
Y el varón que vendiere casa de morada en ciudad cercada, tendrá facultad de redimirla hasta acabarse el año de su venta: un año será el término de poderse redimir.
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.
Y si no fuere redimida dentro de un año entero, la casa que estuviere en la ciudad murada quedará para siempre por de aquel que la compró, [y] para sus descendientes: no saldrá en el jubileo.
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.
Mas las casas de las aldeas que no tienen muro alrededor, serán estimadas como una haza de tierra: tendrán redención, y saldrán en el jubileo.
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.
Pero en cuanto á las ciudades de los Levitas, siempre podrán redimir los Levitas las casas de las ciudades que poseyeren.
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].
Y el que comprare de los Levitas, saldrá de la casa vendida, ó de la ciudad de su posesión, en el jubileo: por cuanto las casas de las ciudades de los Levitas es la posesión de ellos entre los hijos de Israel.
34 But the pastureland near their towns must not be sold. It must belong to the original owners permanently/forever.
Mas la tierra del ejido de sus ciudades no se venderá, porque es perpetua posesión de ellos.
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.
Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, y se acogiere á ti, tú lo ampararás: como peregrino y extranjero vivirá contigo.
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.
No tomarás usura de él, ni aumento; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios, y tu hermano vivirá contigo.
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.
No le darás tu dinero á usura, ni tu vitualla á ganancia:
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].
Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios.
39 ‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not force him to work like a slave.
Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, estando contigo, y se vendiere á ti, no le harás servir como siervo:
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.
Como criado, como extranjero estará contigo; hasta el año del jubileo te servirá.
41 During that year, you must free him, and he will go back to his family and to the property that his ancestors owned.
Entonces saldrá de contigo, él y sus hijos consigo, y volverá á su familia, y á la posesión de sus padres se restituirá.
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.
Porque son mis siervos, los cuales saqué yo de la tierra de Egipto: no serán vendidos á manera de siervos.
43 And do not treat the Israelis whom you buy cruelly; instead, revere me, your God.
No te enseñorearás de él con dureza, mas tendrás temor de tu Dios.
44 ‘If you want to have slaves, you are permitted to buy them from nearby countries.
Así tu siervo como tu sierva que tuvieres, serán de las gentes que están en vuestro alrededor: de ellos compraréis siervos y siervas.
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.
También compraréis de los hijos de los forasteros que viven entre vosotros, y de los que del linaje de ellos son nacidos en vuestra tierra, que están con vosotros; los cuales tendréis por posesión:
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.
Y los poseeréis por juro de heredad para vuestros hijos después de vosotros, como posesión hereditaria; para siempre os serviréis de ellos; empero en vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel, no os enseñorearéis cada uno sobre su hermano con dureza.
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,
Y si el peregrino ó extranjero que está contigo, adquiriese medios, y tu hermano que está con él empobreciere, y se vendiere al peregrino ó extranjero que está contigo, ó á la raza de la familia del extranjero;
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:
Después que se hubiere vendido, podrá ser rescatado: uno de sus hermanos lo rescatará;
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.
O su tío, ó el hijo de su tío lo rescatará, ó el cercano de su carne, de su linaje, lo rescatará; ó si sus medios alcanzaren, él mismo se redimirá.
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.
Y contará con el que lo compró, desde el año que se vendió á él hasta el año del jubileo: y ha de apreciarse el dinero de su venta conforme al número de los años, y se hará con él conforme al tiempo de un criado asalariado.
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.
Si aun fueren muchos años, conforme á ellos volverá para su rescate del dinero por el cual se vendió.
52 If there are only a few years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay a smaller amount to be released.
Y si quedare poco tiempo hasta el año del jubileo, entonces contará con él, y devolverá su rescate conforme á sus años.
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.
Como con tomado á salario anualmente hará con él: no se enseñoreará en él con aspereza delante de tus ojos.
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,
Mas si no se redimiere en esos [años], en el año del jubileo saldrá, él, y sus hijos con él.
55 because [it is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I, Yahweh your God, freed from [being slaves in] Egypt.’”
Porque mis siervos son los hijos de Israel; son siervos míos, á los cuales saqué de la tierra de Egipto: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
