Leviticus 25
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.
Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in its fruit;
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus ejus:
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy untrimmed vine: for it is a year of rest to the land.
Quæ sponte gignet humus, non metes: et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam: annus enim requietionis terræ est:
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy male servant, and for thy female servant, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase of it be food.
jumentis tuis et pecoribus, omnia quæ nascuntur præbebunt cibum.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty and nine years.
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family.
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terræ tuæ: ipse est enim jubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy untrimmed vine.
quia jubilæus est, et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.
ob sanctificationem jubilæi: sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession.
Anno jubilæi, redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 And if thou shalt sell any to thy neighbour, or buy any thing from thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
Quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed juxta numerum annorum jubilæi emes ab eo,
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:
et juxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell to thee.
Quanto plures anni remanserint post jubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit: tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 Therefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
Facite præcepta mea, et judicia custodite, et implete ea: ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Terra quoque non vendetur in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenæ et coloni mei estis:
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestræ sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
25 If thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold some of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus ejus, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
Sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire,
27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the balance to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
28 But if he shall not be able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
Quod si non invenerit manus ejus ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum jubilæum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum.
29 And if a man shall sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
30 And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
Si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri ejus in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in jubilæo.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum jure vendetur: si ante redempta non fuerit, in jubilæo revertetur ad dominum.
32 However the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
Ædes Levitarum quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
33 And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in jubilæo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israël.
34 But the field of the common land of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
35 And if thy brother shall have become poor, and falleth into poverty among you; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he may be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 Take thou no interest of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti: time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy food for increase.
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut darem vobis terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave:
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee to the year of jubilee:
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum jubilæum operabitur apud te,
41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem, ad possessionem patrum suorum.
42 For they are my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
Mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de terra Ægypti: non veneant conditione servorum:
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
44 Both thy male and female slaves, which thou shalt have, shall be from the heathen that are around you; from them shall ye buy male and female slaves.
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
et hæreditario jure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum: fratres autem vestros filios Israël ne opprimatis per potentiam.
47 And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe ejus:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold 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 an hired servant shall it be with him.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum jubilæum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, juxta annorum numerum, et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 If there shall be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad jubilæum, secundum hos reddet et pretium:
52 And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo juxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
54 And if he shall not be redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno jubilæo egredietur cum liberis suis.
55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Mei enim sunt servi filii Israël, quos eduxi de terra Ægypti.
