Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spak to Moises in the hil of Synai,
上主在西乃山訓示梅瑟說：」
2 and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seye to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond which Y schal yyue to you, `the erthe kepe the sabat of the Lord;
你告訴以色列子民說：幾時你們進入了我要賜給你們的地方，這地方將為上主守安息。
3 sixe yeeris thou schalt sowe thi feeld, and sixe yeeris thou schalt kitte thi vyner, and thou schalt gadere the fruytis ther of;
六年之內，你可播種田地；六年之內，你可修剪葡萄園，收穫其中的出產。
4 forsothe in the seuenthe yeer schal be sabat of the erthe of the restyng of the Lord;
但到第七年，地應完全休息，是上主的安息年。你不可播種田地，也不可修剪葡萄園；
5 thou schalt not sowe the feeld, and thou schalt not kitte the vyner, thou schalt not repe tho thingis whiche the erthe bryngith forth `bi fre wille, and thou schalt not gadere the grapis of thi firste fruytis, as vyndage; for it is the yeer of restyng of the lond; but tho schulen be to you in to mete,
連你收穫後而自然生出的，你也不可收割；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，你也不可採摘；是地完全休息的一年。
6 to thee, and to thi seruaunt, to thin handmaide, and to thin hirid man, and to the comelyng which is a pilgrym at thee; alle thingis that `comen forth,
地在休息期而自然生出的，可供你們吃：即供給你、你的僕卑、傭工和與你同住的客人吃。
7 schulen yyue mete to thi werk beestis and smale beestis.
地自然生的，也可供給你的牲畜和你地中的走獸吃。喜年
8 Also thou schalt noumbre to thee seuene woukis of yeeris, that is, seuene sithes seuene, whiche togidere maken nyn and fourti yeer;
你應計算七個安息年，即七乘七年；七個安息年的時期，正是四十九年。
9 and thou schalt sowne with a clarioun in the seuenthe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, in the tyme of propiciacioun, `that is, merci, in al youre lond.
這年七月初十，你應吹號即在贖罪節日，你們應在全國內吹起號角，
10 And thou schalt halewe the fiftithe yeer, and thou schalt clepe remissioun to alle the dwellers of thi lond; for thilke yeer is iubilee; a man schal turne ayen to hys possessioun, and ech man schal go ayen to the firste meynee,
祝聖第五十年，向全國居民宣布自由；為你們是一喜年，人各歸其祖業，人各反其家庭。
11 for it is iubilee, and the fiftithe yeer. Ye schulen not sowe, nether ye schulen repe thingis, that comen forth freli in the feeld, and ye schulen not gadere the firste fruytis of vyndage, for the halewyng of iubilee;
第五十年為你們是一喜年，不可播種；自然生出的，不可收穫；葡萄樹未加修剪而結的葡萄，不可採摘，
12 but anoon ye schulen ete thingis takun awey;
為這是喜年，為你們應是聖年；你們只可吃田地自然生的。
13 in the yeer of iubilee alle men go ayen to her possessiouns.
在這喜年內，人各歸其祖業。
14 Whanne thou schalt sille ony thing to thi citeseyn, ether schalt bie of hym, make thou not sory thi brother, but bi the noumbre of `yeeris of iubile thou schalt bie of him,
為此，如你賣給你的同胞產業，或由你的同胞購買，你們不可彼此欺壓；
15 and bi the rekenyng of fruytis he schal sille to thee.
你應照上次喜年後的年數由你同胞購買，他應照收穫的年數賣給你。
16 Bi as myche as mo yeeris dwellen after the iubilee, by so myche also the prijs schal encreesse, and bi as myche as thou noumbrist lesse of tyme, bi so myche and the biyng schal cost lesse; for he schal sille to thee the time of fruytis.
年數越多，你越應多付買價；年數越少，越應少付買價，因為他賣給你的事物產的數目。
17 Nyle ye turment men of youre lynagis, but ech man drede his God; for Y am youre Lord God.
為此，你們不可彼此欺壓，但應敬畏你的天主，因為我上主是你們的天主。
18 Do ye my comaundementis, and kepe ye my domes, and fille ye tho, that ye moun dwelle in his lond without ony drede,
你們應遵行我的法令，遵守我的規定，一一依照執行，好叫你們平安地住在這地上，
19 and that the erthe brynge forth hise fruytis to you, whiche ye schulen ete `til to fulnesse, and drede not the assailyng of ony man.
地必供給出產，使你們吃飽，平安住在地上。
20 That if ye seien, what schulen we ete in the seuenthe yeer, if we sowen not, nether gaderen oure fruytis?
若你們追問說：到第七年，我們若不能播種，又不能收集我們的出產，我們吃什麼﹖
21 Y schal yyue my blessyng to you in the sixte yeer, and it schal make fruytis of three yeer;
在第六年上，我必決定祝福你們，叫地有三年的出產；
22 and ye schulen sowe in the eiyte yeer, and ye schulen ete elde fruytis `til to the nynthe yeer; til newe thingis comen forth ye schulen ete the elde thingis.
你們在第八年上播種時，還吃陳糧；直到第九年，直到收割新糧時，還有陳糧吃。[土地贖回法]
23 Also the lond schal not be seeld `in to with outen ende, for it is myn, and ye ben my comelyngis and tenauntis;
土地不可出賣而無收回權，因為地是我的，你們為我只是旅客或住客。
24 wherfor al the cuntre of youre possessioun schal be seeld vndur the condicioun of ayenbiyng.
對你們所佔的各地，應承認地有贖回權。
25 If thi brother is maad pore, and sillith his litil possessioun, and his nyy kynesman wole, he may ayenbie that that he seelde;
如果你的兄弟貧窮，賣了一份家產，他的至親可來作代贖人，贖回他兄弟所賣的家產。
26 sotheli if he hath no nyy kynesman, and he may fynde prijs to ayenbie,
若沒有代贖人，幾時自己富足了，有了足夠的贖價，
27 the fruytis schulen be rekynyd fro that tyme in which he seelde, and he schal yelde `that that is residue to the biere, and he schal resseyue so his possessioun.
當計算賣出後的年數，將差額還給買主，收回自己的家產。
28 That if his hond fynde not, that he yelde the prijs, the biere schal haue that that he bouyte, `til to the yeer of iubilee; for in that yeer ech sillyng schal go ayen to the lord, and to the firste weldere.
如果他無法獲得足夠的贖價，他所賣的，應存於買主之手直到喜年；到了喜年，地應退還，賣主收回自己的家產。房屋贖回法
29 He that sillith his hows, with ynne the wallis of a citee, schal haue licence to ayenbie til o yeer be fillid;
若人賣了一所在城牆內的住宅，自賣出後，一年內，他有贖回的權利；他贖回的權利為期一年。
30 if he ayenbieth not, and the sercle of the yeer is passid, the biere schal welde it, and his eiris `in to with outen ende, and it schal not mow be ayenbouyt, ye, in the iubilee.
如果滿了一年，他沒有贖回，在城牆內的房屋應歸買主與其後代，再無收回權；即使到了喜年，亦不應退還。
31 Forsothe if the hows is in a town `that hath not wallis, it schal be seeld bi the lawe of feeldis; sotheli if it is not ayenbouyt in the iubilee, it schal turne ayen to `his lord.
但房屋在沒有圍牆的村莊內，應算是田產，有贖回的權利；到了喜年應該退還。
32 The howsis of dekenes, that ben in citees, moun euer be ayenbouyt; if tho ben not ayenbouyt,
至於肋未人得為產業的城市中的房屋，肋未人永享有贖回權。
33 tho schulen turne ayen in the iubilee `to the lordis; for the `howsis of the citees of dekenes ben for possessiouns among the sones of Israel;
如一肋未人在他得為產業的城市出賣的房屋，沒有贖回，在喜年仍可收回，因為肋未城中的房屋，是他們在以色列子民中所得的不動產。
34 forsothe the suburbabis of hem schulen not be seeld, for it is euerlastynge possessioun.
但是，他們城外四郊之地，不可變賣，因為是永屬他們的產業。對同胞不可取利
35 If thi brother is maad pore, and feble in power, and thou resseyuest hym as a comelyng and pilgrym, and he lyueth with thee,
如果你的兄弟貧窮，無力向你還債，你應像待外方人一樣或旅客一樣扶持他，叫他能與你一起生活。
36 take thou not vsuris of hym, nether more than thou hast youe; drede thou thi God, that thi brothir mai lyue anentis thee.
不應向他索取利息或重利，但應敬畏你的天主，讓他與你一起生活，如你的兄弟。
37 Thou schalt not yyue to hym thi money to vsure, and thou schalt not axe ouer `aboundaunce, ether encrees ouer of fruytis;
借給他銀錢，不可取利息；借給他糧食，不可取重利。
38 Y am youre Lord God, that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde yyue to you the lond of Canaan, and that Y schulde be youre God.
我上主是你們的天主，我領你們離開埃及地，將客納罕第賜給你們，是為做你們的天主。以色列人為奴的法律
39 If thi brother compellid bi pouert sillith hym silf to thee, thou schalt not oppresse hym bi seruage of seruauntis,
若你身旁的兄弟窮了，賣身給你不可迫他勞作如同奴隸一樣；
40 but he schal be as an hirid man and tenaunt; `til to the yeer of iubilee he schal worche at thee,
他在你身旁，應像傭工或外僑，給你工作直到喜年。
41 and aftirward he schal go out with his fre children, and he schal turne ayen to the kynrede, and to `the possessioun of his fadris.
那時，他和他的子女應離開你，回本家，復歸期祖業；
42 For thei ben my seruauntis, and Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt; thei schulen not be seeld bi the condicioun of seruauntis;
因為他是我的僕役，是我由埃及地領出來的；他們不能賣身，如同出賣奴隸。
43 turmente thou not hem bi thi power, but drede thou thi Lord.
你不可虐待他，但應敬畏你的天主。
44 A seruaunt and handmaide be to you of naciouns that ben in youre cumpas,
你需要的奴婢，應來自四周的民族，由他們中可購買奴婢。
45 and of comelyngis that ben pilgrimys at you, ether thei that ben borun of hem in youre lond; ye schulen haue these seruauntis,
此外，可從同你們住在一起的外方人中，或從他們在你們境內所生的後代子孫中，購買奴婢。這些奴婢可成為你們的產業，
46 and bi riyt of eritage ye schulen `sende ouer to aftir comeris, and ye schulen welde with outen ende; sothely oppresse ye not bi power youre britheren, the sones of Israel.
可將他們留給你們的後代子孫，當作永久的產業，使他們勞作。至於你們的兄弟以色列子民，彼此既是兄弟，不可嚴加虐待。
47 If the hond of a comelyng and of a pilgrim wexith strong at you, and thi brother is maad pore, and sillith hym silf to hym,
若外方人，或寄居在你處的人乘了富翁，你的兄弟反而窮了，欠他的債，而賣身給寄居在你處的外方人，或外方人家中的後代；
48 ether to ony of his kyn, he may be ayenbouyt aftir the sillyng; he that wole of hise britheren, ayenbie hym; bothe `the brother of fadir,
賣身以後，仍享有贖回的權利；他的人一個兄弟可以贖他；
49 and the sone of `the fadris brother, and kynesman, and alye. Ellis if also he schal mow, he schal ayenbie hym silf,
他的叔伯，或他叔伯的兒子可以贖他；他家中的任何至親骨肉都可以贖他；如他自己致富，亦可自贖。
50 while the yeeris ben rykenid oneli fro the tyme of his sillyng `til in to the yeer of iubylee; and while the money, for which he was seeld, is rikenyd bi the noumbre of yeeris, and while the hire of an hirid man is rikenyd.
他應同購買自己的人，計算從賣身給他以後到喜年的年數；贖價應依照年數的多少，並按照傭工每日的工價決定；
51 If mo yeeris ben that dwellen `til to the iubilee, bi these yeeris he schal yelde also the prijs; if fewe yeeris ben,
如剩下的年數尚多，他應依照年數的多少，出一部份贖價來贖身。
52 he schal sette rikenyng with hym bi the noumbre of yeeris;
如直到喜年剩下的年數不多，應這樣計算：依照年數的比例交付贖價。
53 and he schal yeelde to the biere that that is residue of yeeris, while tho yeeris, bi whiche he seruyde bifore, ben rikenyd for hiris; he schal not turmente `that Ebreu violentli in thi siyt.
買主對他應像每年雇的工人；不可當著你虐待那人。
54 That if he may not be ayenbouyt bi this, he schal go out with his free children in the `yeer of iubilee; for the sones of Israel ben myn seruauntis,
如果那人不能這樣贖身，到了喜年，他可與兒女自由離去。
55 whiche Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt.
因為以色列子民只對我是奴隸，他們是我的奴隸，是我領他們離開了埃及地：我，上主是你們的天主。
