Leviticus 25
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés en la Montaña Sinaí:
2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you come into the land that I give you, then the land must be made to keep a Sabbath for Yahweh.
Habla a los hijos de Israel: Cuando entren en la tierra que Yo les doy, la tierra guardará reposo para Yavé.
3 You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.
Seis años cultivarás tu tierra y seis años podarás tu viña y recogerás sus frutos.
4 But in the seventh year, a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land must be observed, a Sabbath for Yahweh. You must not plant your field or prune your vineyard.
Pero el séptimo año será sábado de completo reposo para la tierra, un sábado para Yavé. No sembrarás tu campo, ni podarás tu viña.
5 You must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grows by itself, and you must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grapes grow on your unpruned vines. This will be a year of solemn rest for the land.
No cosecharás lo que nazca espontáneamente después de tu cosecha, ni recogerás las uvas de tus vides no podadas. Año de reposo sabático será para la tierra.
6 Whatever the unworked land grows during the Sabbath year will be food for you. You, your male and female servants, your hired servants and the foreigners who live with you may gather food,
El [fruto] del año sabático de la tierra les será de alimento para ti, tu esclavo, tu esclava, tu jornalero y el extranjero que more contigo.
7 and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.
Todo el fruto de ella servirá de comida para tu animal y las bestias que estén en tu tierra. Todo su fruto será para comer.
8 You must count off seven Sabbaths of years, that is, seven times seven years, so that there will be seven Sabbaths of years, totaling forty-nine years.
Contarás para ti siete semanas de años: siete veces siete años, de manera que los días de las siete semanas de años te sean 49 años.
9 Then you must blow a loud trumpet everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you must blow a trumpet throughout all your land.
El décimo día del mes séptimo harás resonar la corneta. El día del Sacrificio que Apacigua harán resonar la corneta por toda su tierra.
10 You must set apart the fiftieth year to Yahweh and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a Jubilee for you, in which property and slaves must be returned to their families.
Consagrarán el año 50 y proclamarán libertad a todos los que habitan en la tierra. Será un jubileo para ustedes y cada uno volverá a su propiedad. Cada uno de ustedes volverá a su familia.
11 The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. You must not plant or conduct an organized harvest. Eat whatever grows by itself, and gather the grapes that grow on the unpruned vines.
El año 50 será jubileo para ustedes. No sembrarán ni cosecharán lo que de sí brote en la tierra, ni recogerán el fruto de las viñas,
12 For it is a Jubilee, which will be holy for you. You must eat the produce that grows by itself out of the fields.
porque es jubileo sagrado para ustedes. Comerán el producto de la tierra.
13 You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.
En este año de jubileo cada uno de ustedes volverá a su propiedad.
14 If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong each other.
Si venden algo a su prójimo o compran algo de su prójimo, ninguno engañe a su hermano.
15 If you buy land from your neighbor, consider the number of years and crops that can be harvested until the next Jubilee. Your neighbor selling the land must consider that also.
Conforme al número de años después del jubileo, comprarás de tu prójimo, y él te venderá conforme al número de años de las cosechas.
16 A larger number of years until the next Jubilee will increase the value of land, and a smaller number of years until the next Jubilee will decrease the value, because the number of harvests the land will produce for the new owner is related to the number of years before the next Jubilee.
Aumentarás su precio en proporción al número de años que restan para el próximo jubileo. Y según disminuyan los años, disminuirás su precio, porque él te vende según el número de cosechas.
17 You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
No se engañen el uno al otro. Temerán a su ʼElohim, porque Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
18 Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.
Cumplan mis Estatutos y guarden mis Ordenanzas. Practíquenlas y vivirán seguros en la tierra.
19 The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.
La tierra dará su fruto y comerán hasta la saciedad. Vivirán en ella con seguridad.
20 You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”
Si dicen: ¿Qué comeremos el séptimo año, puesto que no sembraremos, ni recogeremos nuestras cosechas?
21 I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.
Entonces sepan que en el sexto año Yo ordenaré mi bendición sobre ustedes, para que produzca cosecha por tres años.
22 You will plant in the eighth year and continue to eat from the previous years' produce and the stored food. Until the harvest of the ninth year comes in, you will be able to eat from the provisions stored in the previous years.
Sembrarán en el octavo año, pero seguirán comiendo de la cosecha añeja hasta el año noveno. Comerán de lo añejo hasta que llegue la cosecha.
23 The land must not be sold to a new permanent owner, because the land is mine. You are all foreigners and temporary residents on my land.
Además, la tierra no será vendida a perpetuidad, porque mía es la tierra, y ustedes son extranjeros y peregrinos que están conmigo.
24 You must observe the right of redemption for all the land that you acquire; you must allow the land to be bought back by the family from whom you bought it.
Por tanto, concederán la redención de la tierra en toda la tierra de su posesión.
25 If your fellow Israelite became poor and for that reason sold some of his property, then his nearest relative may come and buy back the property that he sold to you.
Si tu hermano empobrece y vende una parte de su propiedad, y llega su pariente redentor a redimirla, rescatará lo que vendió su hermano.
26 If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,
Si ese hombre no tiene redentor, pero consigue lo suficiente para rescatarla él mismo,
27 then he may calculate the years since the land was sold and repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it. Then he may return to his own property.
calculará los años desde su venta, pagará el resto a la persona a quien vendió y volverá a su posesión.
28 But if he is not able to get the land back for himself, then the land he has sold will remain in the ownership of the one who bought it until the year of Jubilee. At the year of Jubilee, the land will be returned to the man who sold it, and the original owner will return to his property.
Pero si no halla suficiente para recuperar lo vendido quedará en mano del comprador hasta el año del jubileo, y en el jubileo quedará libre y volverá a su propiedad.
29 If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may buy it back within a whole year after it was sold. For a full year he will have the right of redemption.
Si un hombre vende una casa de habitación en una ciudad amurallada, su derecho de rescate durará un año completo a partir de su venta. Puede redimirla en el término de un año completo.
30 If the house is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city will become the permanent property of the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the year of Jubilee.
Pero si no es rescatada en el plazo de un año completo, la casa que esté en la ciudad amurallada, pertenecerá a perpetuidad al comprador y sus descendientes. No quedará libre en el jubileo.
31 But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them will be considered as the field of the land. They may be redeemed, and they must be returned during the year of Jubilee.
Las casas de las aldeas que no están amuralladas serán consideradas como una parcela de tierra. Tendrán derecho a rescate y quedarán libres en el jubileo.
32 However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed at any time.
En cuanto a las ciudades de los levitas, éstos podrán rescatar las casas en las ciudades de su propiedad en cualquier tiempo.
33 If one of the Levites does not redeem a house he sold, then the house that was sold in the city where it is located must be returned in the year of Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their property among the people of Israel.
Así que si un hombre compra una casa de los levitas, liberará en el jubileo la casa que le fue vendida en la ciudad y que pertenece a los levitas, porque las casas de las ciudades de los levitas son propiedad de ellos entre los hijos de Israel.
34 But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.
Pero los campos de pastos de sus ciudades no se venderán, porque son propiedad perpetua de ellos.
35 If your fellow countryman becomes poor, so that he can no longer provide for himself, then you must help him as you would help a foreigner or anyone else living as an outsider among you.
Si tu hermano empobrece y se halla a tu lado, tú lo ampararás como si fuera un extranjero o forastero, para que pueda vivir contigo.
36 Do not charge him interest or try to profit from him in any way, but honor your God so that your brother may keep living with you.
No tomarás de él interés ni ganancia, sino tendrás temor a tu ʼElohim, para que tu hermano viva contigo.
37 You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.
No le prestarás tu dinero con interés, ni le venderás tus víveres con ganancia.
38 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, in order that I might give you the land of Canaan, and that I might be your God.
Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien los sacó de la tierra de Egipto para darles la tierra de Canaán y para ser su ʼElohim.
39 If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.
Si tu hermano que está contigo empobrece y se vende a ti, no lo harás servir como esclavo.
40 Treat him as a hired servant. He must be like someone living temporarily with you. He will serve with you until the year of Jubilee.
Estará contigo como jornalero o forastero, y te servirá hasta el año del jubileo.
41 Then he will go away from you, he and his children with him, and he will return to his own family and to his fathers' property.
Entonces saldrá libre de tu casa, él y sus hijos, y volverá a su familia y a la propiedad de sus padres.
42 For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.
Porque ellos son esclavos míos, a quienes Yo saqué de la tierra de Egipto. No serán vendidos como esclavos,
43 You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.
ni te enseñorearás de ellos con dureza. Tendrás temor a tu ʼElohim.
44 As for your male and female slaves, whom you can obtain from the nations who live around you, you may buy slaves from them.
Tus esclavos y esclavas serán de las naciones que están alrededor. De ellas podrán adquirir esclavos y esclavas.
45 You may also buy slaves from the foreigners who are living among you, that is, from their families who are with you, children who have been born in your land. They may become your property.
También podrán adquirirlos de los hijos de los forasteros que viven entre ustedes. De sus familias nacidas en la tierra de ustedes, las cuales podrán tener en posesión,
46 You may provide such slaves as an inheritance for your children after you, to hold as property, and make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your brothers among the people of Israel with harshness.
las dejarán como herencia a sus hijos después de ustedes, como posesión hereditaria. Pero en cuanto a sus hermanos, los hijos de Israel, no se enseñorearán los unos de los otros con dureza.
47 If a foreigner or someone living temporarily with you has become wealthy, and if one of your fellow Israelites has become poor and sells himself to that foreigner, or to someone in a foreigner's family,
Si el extranjero o el forastero que vive contigo alcanza riqueza, y tu hermano que está con él empobrece y se vende al extranjero o al forastero que vive contigo, o a los descendientes de la familia de un extranjero,
48 after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family may redeem him.
después de venderse podrá ser rescatado. Uno de sus hermanos lo podrá rescatar,
49 It might be the person's uncle, or his uncle's son, who redeems him, or anyone who is his close relative from his family. Or, if he has become prosperous, he may redeem himself.
o su tío o un hijo de su tío lo rescatará. O algún pariente cercano de su familia lo rescatará, o si prospera, él mismo podrá redimirse.
50 He must bargain with the man who bought him; they must count the years from the year he sold himself to his purchaser until the year of Jubilee. The price of his redemption must be figured in keeping with the rate paid to a hired servant, for the number of years he might continue to work for the one who bought him.
Entonces hará el cálculo con aquel que lo compró, desde el año cuando se vendió a él hasta el año del jubileo. Su precio será según el número de años. Valorarán los días de trabajo como los de un jornalero.
51 If there are still many years until the year of Jubilee, he must pay back as the price for his redemption an amount of money that is in proportion to the number of those years.
Si aún le quedan muchos años, devolverá el dinero para su rescate conforme a ellos.
52 If there are only a few years to the year of Jubilee, then he must bargain with his purchaser to reflect the number of years left before the year of Jubilee, and he must pay for his redemption in keeping with the number of years.
Pero si le quedan pocos años hasta el año del jubileo, así los calculará con él. Devolverá su rescate conforme a esos años.
53 He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.
Como el que trabaja a jornal año por año, así estará con él. No permitirás que lo trate con dureza delante de ti.
54 If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
Si no es rescatado en esos años, saldrá libre el año del jubileo, él y sus hijos,
55 To me the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
porque los hijos de Israel son mis esclavos, a quienes saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
