< Leviticus 25 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Mukama Katonda yagamba Musa ku lusozi Sinaayi nti,
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.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti bwe mutuukanga mu nsi gye mbawa, ensi yennyini eneekuumiranga Mukama Katonda ssabbiiti.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
Okumala emyaka mukaaga ennimiro zammwe munaazisigangamu emmere, era mu myaka egyo omukaaga munaasaliranga emizabbibu gyammwe n’ebibala ne mubikungula.
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.
Naye mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ettaka ly’ensi eyo linaabanga ne ssabbiiti ey’okuwummula eri Mukama Katonda. Temusiganga mmere mu nnimiro zammwe wadde okusalira emizabbibu gyammwe.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest, thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest to the land.
Ebimera ebyekuzizza byokka, ebimererezi, temubikungulanga wadde okunoga ebibala ku mizabbibu gyammwe egitaasalirwa. Omwaka ogwo ettaka ly’ensi linaaguwummulanga.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
Ebyo byonna ebyokulya ebinaavanga mu ttaka mu mwaka ogwa ssabbiiti yaalyo binaabanga mmere yammwe, mmwe bennyini, n’eri abaddu bammwe abasajja, n’abakazi, era n’abaweereza bammwe ab’empeera, n’abagenyi abanaabanga basula mu maka gammwe;
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the increase of it be food.
era n’ente zammwe n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko ezinaabanga ku ttaka lyammwe. Buli ekyokulya ekinaakuliranga ku ttaka eryo kinaabanga mmere.
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.
“Munaabaliriranga essabbiiti musanvu ez’omu myaka, kwe kugamba nti musanvu emirundi emyaka musanvu. Bwe kityo ekiseera kyonna ekya ssabbiiti ezo ne kiba emyaka amakumi ana mu mwenda.
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.
Ekkondeere ery’okujaguza munaalifuuyiranga wonna wonna ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu ku Lunaku olw’Okutangiririrwa, ekkondeere munaalifuuyiranga mu nsi yammwe yonna.
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.
Munaatukuzanga omwaka ogw’amakumi ataano, era munaalangiriranga ebiseera eby’eddembe eri abatuuze bonna mu ggwanga lyammwe. Omwaka ogwo gunaabanga gwa kujaguza gwa Jjubiri gye muli; buli omu anaddangayo mu kifo kye eky’obwannannyini, era buli omu anaddangayo mu kika kye.
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 vine undressed.
Omwaka ogw’amakumi ataano gunaabanga gwa kujaguza gwa Jjubiri gye muli; mu mwaka ogwo temuusigenga era temuukungulenga bikuze ku bimererezi newaakubadde okukuŋŋaanya ebibala eby’oku mizabbibu egitali misalire.
12 For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.
Kubanga ekiseera ekyo kya kujaguza kya Jjubiri era kinaabanga kitukuvu gye muli; mulyenga ebyo byokka bye munaggyanga mu nnimiro.
13 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession.
“Mu mwaka ogwo ogw’okujaguza ogwa Jjubiri buli omu anaddangayo mu kifo kye eky’obwannannyini.
14 And if thou shalt sell aught to thy neighbor, or buy [aught] of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
Era bwe munaatunzanga bannammwe ekintu kyonna oba bwe munaagulanga ku bannammwe ekintu kyonna, temuseeragananga.
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:
Munnansi munno onoomugulangako ng’osinziira ku myaka egyakayitawo okuva ku kujaguza ku Jjubiri. Era naye anaakutunzanga ng’asinziira ku myaka egibulayo okutuuka ku makungula g’ebibala.
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.
Emyaka bwe ginaabanga emingi, omuwendo ogulamulwa munaagwongezanga, naye emyaka bwe ginaabanga emitono munaagukendeezanga, kubanga obungi bw’ebikungulwa, bw’ogula ku mutunzi.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.
Temuseeragananga; mutyanga Katonda wammwe, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
“Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange, era mukwatenga amateeka gange, bwe mutyo munaatuulanga n’emirembe mu nsi yammwe.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
Ensi eneebaleeteranga ebibala byayo, ne mulya ne mukkuta ne mutuulamu n’emirembe.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase:
Muyinza okubuuza nti, ‘Bwe tutaasigenga era ne tutakungulanga, kale mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu tunaalyanga ki?’
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
Mu mwaka ogw’omukaaga ndibayiwako omukisa gwange ogulireetera ensi yammwe ebibala ebirimala emyaka esatu.
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].
Bwe munaabanga musiga mu mwaka ogw’omunaana, munaabanga mulya ku bibala ebikadde bye mwatereka, okutuusa nga mukungudde ebibala eby’omwaka ogw’omwenda.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever; for the land [is] mine, for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.
Ettaka teriitundibwenga kagenderere, kubanga ensi yange; mwe muli bayise era abasuze obusuze.
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
Buli kitundu kya nsi kye munaalyanga, bwe mutundanga ettaka mwerekerangawo omwagaanya ogw’okulinunulayo gye mulitunze.
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.
“Munnansi munnammwe bw’anaayavuwalanga, n’atunda ebimu ku bintu bye, muganda we ow’okumpi mu luganda anajjanga n’anunula ebyo munnansi munne by’atunze.
26 And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
Omuntu bw’anaabanga talina anaabimununulira, naye ye ku bubwe ng’agaggawadde, era ng’afunye obusobozi obw’okubinunula,
27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
anaabaliriranga omuwendo gw’ensimbi oguli mu myaka kasookedde abitunda, n’abala n’omuwendo ogugya mu myaka egisigaddeyo okutuuka ku Jjubiri, n’agusasula omuntu gwe yaguza ebintu ebyo, olwo eyatunda aneddirangayo mu bintu bye.
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.
Naye singa alemwa okufuna obusobozi okumusasula, kale ebyo bye yatunda binaasigalanga mu mukono gw’eyabigula nga ye nannyini byo okutuusa mu Mwaka gwa Jjubiri. Binamuddizibwanga mu Jjubiri, era anaayinzanga okweddirayo mu bintu bye.
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.
“Omuntu bw’anaatundanga ennyumba esulwamu eri mu kibuga ekyetooloddwa bbugwe, anaayinzanga okuginunula mu mwaka nga tegunaggwaako. Mu bbanga eryo ery’omwaka omulamba mw’anaabeereranga n’obuyinza obw’okuginunula.
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,
Ennyumba eyo eri mu kibuga ekyetooloddwa bbugwe bw’eteenunulibwenga mu bbanga ery’omwaka ogumu, kale eneebeereranga ddala y’oyo eyagigula n’ezzadde lye. Eyagitunda teemuddizibwenga mu Jjubiri.
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.
Naye amayumba ag’omu bubuga obutono obw’omu byalo obuteetooloddwako bisenge, ganaabalirwanga mu ttuluba lye limu n’ery’ennimiro eziri mu byalo. Ganaanunulibwanga era ne gaddira bannyinigo mu Jjubiri.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
“Bulijjo Abaleevi banaabanga ba ddembe okununula amayumba gaabwe agali mu bibuga byabwe eby’Abaleevi bye balinako obwannannyini.
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.
Era Omuleevi bw’anaabanga takozesezza ddembe lye ery’okununula, kale ennyumba eyatundirwa mu kibuga Abaleevi kye balinako obwannannyini, eneemuddiranga mu Jjubiri; kubanga mu bantu ba Isirayiri ennyumba eziri mu bibuga by’Abaleevi za Baleevi.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it [is] their perpetual possession.
Naye ennimiro eziri ku ttaka lya wamu ery’ebibuga byabwe teziitundibwenga; kubanga ezo zaabwe za bwannannyini obw’olubeerera.
35 And if thy brother shall have become poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he] may [be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
“Munnansi munnammwe bw’anaayavuwalanga ng’ali wamu nammwe, nga takyasobola kwefunira buyambi, mubeerenga naye nga mumulabirira nga bwe mwandirabiridde omunnaggwanga oba omusuze obusuze ali mu mmwe.
36 Take thou no interest of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
Mutyenga Katonda wammwe. Munnammwe temumuggyangako magoba ku kintu kyonna kye munaabanga mumuwoze, bw’atyo munnammwe oyo alyoke abeerenga mu mmwe.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Bw’omuwolanga ensimbi azzengawo omuwendo gwennyini gw’omuwoze so tasukkirizangamu. Era bw’omuguzanga emmere tossangamu magoba.
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.
Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri okubawa ensi ya Kanani n’okubeera Katonda wammwe.
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 bond servant:
“Era munnansi munnammwe bw’anaayavuwalanga ng’ali nammwe, ne yeetunda gye muli, temumukozesanga nga muddu.
40 [But] as a hired servant, [and] as a sojourner he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee to the year of jubilee.
Munaamukozesanga ng’omupakasi ow’empeera oba ng’omusuze obusuze, ng’ali nammwe. Anaabaweerezanga okutuusa mu Mwaka gwa Jjubiri.
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.
Kale nno, olwo anaalekebwanga n’addayo ewaabwe, ye n’abaana be, mu kika kye ku butaka bwa bakadde be.
42 For they [are] my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bond-men.
Kubanga baweereza bange be naggya mu nsi y’e Misiri; tebaatundibwenga ng’abaddu.
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.
Temubafugisanga bukambwe, naye mutyenga Katonda wammwe.
44 Both thy bond-men, and thy bond-maids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are around you; of them shall ye buy bond-men and bond-maids.
Abaddu bammwe abasajja n’abaddu bammwe abakazi munaabaggyanga mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, mu mawanga ago mwe muneeguliranga abaddu abasajja n’abaddu abakazi.
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, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Era munaayinzanga okwegulira ku bannamawanga abali nammwe abasuze obusuze, ne ku baana baabwe abanaazaalirwanga mu nsi yammwe; abo banaabanga nvuma zammwe.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession, they shall be your bond-men for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.
Munaayinzanga okulaamira batabani bammwe abalibagoberera envuma ezo ng’obusika bwabwe obw’emirembe gyonna. Naye Bayisirayiri bannammwe temubafugisanga bukambwe.
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:
“Omunnaggwanga oba omusuze obusuze ali nammwe bw’anaagaggawalanga, naye munnansi munnammwe bwe babeera n’ayavuwala, ne yeetunda eri munnaggwanga oba eri omusuze obusuze ali nammwe, oba eri omu ku b’omu luggya lwa munnaggwanga,
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
anaayinzanga okununulibwa, ng’amaze okwetunda. Omu ku baganda be anayinzanga okumununula:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin to him of his family, may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.
Taata we oba mutabani wa taata we, oba owooluganda omulala ow’okumpi mu buzaale ow’omu kika kye anaayinzanga okumununula. Oba ye bw’anaagaggawalanga anaayinzanga okwenunula.
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 a hired servant shall it be with him.
Ye n’oli eyamugula bajjanga kubalirira ebbanga okuva mu mwaka gwe yeetundiramu okutuuka ku Mwaka gwa Jjubiri. Omuwendo ogw’okununulibwa guneesigamizibwanga ku muwendo gw’emyaka egibaliriddwa; ebbanga lye yamala n’eyamugula linaageraageranyizibwanga n’ebbanga ery’omupakasi asasulwa empeera.
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.
Mu kubalirira kwabwe bwe kinaazuukanga ng’ekyasigaddeyo emyaka mingi okutuuka ku Jjubiri, ku muwendo gwe yeetunda anaasasulangako omuwendo munene olw’okwenunula.
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.
Naye bw’eneebanga esigaddeyo emyaka mitono, egyo gy’anaabalirirangamu ensimbi zaamu n’asasula ezo nga bwe kyetaagisa olw’okwenunula.
53 [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.
Oyo eyagula munne anaamuyisanga ng’omupakasi amukolera mu kupatana okwa buli mwaka. Temulekanga oyo eyagula munne okumutuntuzanga nga nammwe mulaba.
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.
“Bw’anaabanga tanunulibbwa mu zimu ku ngeri ezo, ye n’abaana be banaanunulibwanga mu Mwaka gwa Jjubiri.
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.
Kubanga abaana ba Isirayiri bantu bange, abaweereza bange be naggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
