< Leviticus 25 >
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼugwu Saịnaị sị ya,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị ha, ‘Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ m ga-enye unu, unu ga-eme ka ala ahụ nwee afọ izuike nke ya nye Onyenwe anyị.
3 'Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,
Afọ isii ka unu ga-akụ ihe nʼubi, afọ isii ka unu ga-ewe ihe ubi, kwachaakwa alaka osisi vaịnị unu.
4 and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy vineyard thou dost not prune;
Ma mgbe o ruru afọ nke asaa, unu ga-ahapụ ala ubi unu ka o zuo ike, afọ izuike nye Onyenwe anyị. Unu akụla ihe ọbụla nʼubi unu maọbụ kwachaa osisi vaịnị unu.
5 the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap, and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a year of rest it is to the land.
Unu agaghị ewe ihe ubi ọbụla ga-epupụtara onwe ha nʼoge a, maọbụ tụtụọ mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị ndị ga-ada ada. Nʼihi na afọ ahụ bụ afọ ozuzu ike dịrị ala ubi niile.
6 'And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee;
Ihe ubi puputara nʼala ahụ niile nʼafọ izuike ahụ bụ nri dịrị unu onwe unu, na ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị unu niile, na onye i goro ọrụ, na onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu.
7 and to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land, is all thine increase for food.
Ihe ubi ahụ dịkwara anụ ụlọ gị, na anụ ọhịa bi nʼala gị. Ihe ọbụla puputara nʼala bụ ihe unu ga-eri.
8 'And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,
“‘Gụpụta afọ izuike asaa, afọ asaa, ụzọ asaa. Ngụkọ afọ izuike ndị a niile ga-enye iri afọ anọ na itoolu.
9 and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land;
Nʼụbọchị nke iri nke ọnwa asaa, zipụ onye ga-egbu opi ike, ya bụ, nʼụbọchị mkpuchi mmehie, a ga-egbu opi ike nʼala Izrel niile.
10 and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.
Doonụ afọ nke iri ise ahụ nsọ, kwusaakwa inwere onwe nye mmadụ niile nʼala ahụ niile. Afọ ahụ ga-abụ afọ inwere onwe nye unu. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-alaghachi nʼihe onwunwe nke ezinaụlọ ya, onye ọbụla kwa ga-alaghachi nʼagbụrụ ya.
11 'A jubilee it [is], the fiftieth year, a year it is to you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;
Afọ nke iri ise bụ afọ inwere onwe nye unu. A gaghị akụ ihe ọbụla nʼubi, a gakwaghị ewe ihe ubi ọbụla puputara nʼonwe ya, maọbụ mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị mịrị nʼonwe ya.
12 for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;
Ọ bụ afọ inwere onwe, bụrụkwa afọ dị nsọ nye unu, nke onye ọbụla ga-eri naanị ihe e wetara nʼubi.
13 in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.
“‘Onye ọbụla ga-alaghachi nʼihe onwunwe nke ya, nʼafọ inwere onwe a.
14 'And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;
“‘Ọ bụrụ na i resiri onye agbataobi gị ala, maọbụ na o nwere nke ọ zụrụ site nʼaka gị, unu aghọgbula ibe unu.
15 by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth sell to thee;
Ị ga-azụrụ ala site nʼaka onye agbataobi dịka ọnụọgụgụ afọ si dị site nʼafọ inwere onwe. Ha ga-eresi gị ya dịka ọnụọgụgụ afọ ole fọdụrụ maka ịkọ ihe nʼala ahụ.
16 according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to thee;
Ọ bụrụ na a zụrụ ala ahụ nso nso mmemme iri afọ ise a, ọnụahịa ala ahụ ga-adị ala, ọ bụrụkwanụ na ọ dị anya site na mmemme ahụ, ọnụahịa ya ga-adị elu, nʼihi na ụgwọ onye ahụ na-akwụ bụ ụgwọ ugboro ole ọ ga-akụ ihe nʼala ahụ.
17 and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah your God.
Unu emegbula ibe unu kama tụọnụ egwu Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
18 'And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,
“‘Gbasoonụ ụkpụrụ m, ma lezie anya imezu ihe m nyere nʼiwu, ka unu nwee ike ibi obi udo nʼala ahụ.
19 and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.
Mgbe ahụ, ala ga-amị mkpụrụ ya, unu ga-eriju afọ, birikwa nʼala ahụ nʼudo.
20 'And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?
Unu nwere ike jụọ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eri nʼafọ nke asaa ahụ ebe ọ bụ na anyị agaghị akụ ihe ọbụla, maọbụ wee ihe ubi ọbụla nʼafọ ahụ?”
21 then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;
Aga m ezitere unu ngọzị dị ukwuu nʼafọ nke isii, nke ga-eme ka ala mee ihe omume nke ga-ezuru unu afọ atọ.
22 and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase, ye do eat the old.
Mgbe unu ga-akụ ihe ubi nʼafọ nke asatọ unu ga na-eri site nʼowuwe ihe ubi ochie unu tutu ruo nʼafọ nke itoolu mgbe unu ga-ewebata ihe ubi ọhụrụ.
23 'And the land is not sold — to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for sojourners and settlers [are] ye with Me;
“‘Chetanụ na ala bụ nke m, nʼihi nke a, o kwesighị ka unu ree ala ọbụla kpamkpam. Unu bụ naanị ndị ọbịa na ndị nlekọta nye m.
24 and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to the land.
Nʼala obibi unu niile, unu ga-enye ohere maka mgbapụta ala erere ere.
25 'When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;
“‘Ọ bụrụ na otu onye nʼime unu aghọọ onye ogbenye si otu a ree ala ya, nwanna ya dị ya nso ga-abịa gbapụta ala ahụ.
26 and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption,
Ọ bụrụ na-enweghị onye ga-agbapụta ala ahụ nye ha, ma ha mesịa ghọọ ndị bara ụba nwekwa ihe ga-ezu ịgbapụta ala ahụ nʼonwe ha.
27 then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he hath returned to his possession.
A ga-agụ afọ ole gara site na mgbe o rere ala ahụ, nyeghachi ya ego ole o kwesiri inweta. Onye rere ala ga-alaghachikwa nʼala ya.
28 'And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession.
Ọ bụrụ na onyenwe ya enweghị ike ịchọta ego ọ ga-eji gbara ya, ala ahụ ga-adị nʼaka onye ahụ zụrụ ya tutu ruo nʼafọ inwere onwe. Mgbe ahụ ọ ga-ewerekwa ala ahụ nyeghachi ya onye resiri ya.
29 'And when a man selleth a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then hath his right of redemption been until the completion of a year from its selling; days — is his right of redemption;
“‘Onye ọbụla rere ụlọ obibi dị nʼobodo e ji mgbidi gbaa gburugburu nwere ikike mgbapụta ya naanị mgbe otu afọ zuru site na mgbe e rere ya. Nʼoge ahụ ka onye rere ya nwere ike ịgbaghachi ya.
30 and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a perfect year, then hath the house which [is] in a walled city been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee;
Ọ bụrụ na a gbapụtaghị ya tupu otu afọ agafee, ụlọ ahụ dị nʼime obodo nwere mgbidi ga-abụ nke onye ahụ zụrụ ya mgbe niile, bụrụkwa nke ụmụ ụmụ ya. A gaghị enyeghachikwa ya mgbe afọ inwere onwe ruru.
31 and a house of the villages which have no wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.
Ma ụlọ ndị dị nʼobodo nta na-enweghị mgbidi a ga-agụ ha dịka ihe dị nʼọhịa. E nwere ike ịgbapụta ha, ha bụkwa nke a ga-eweghachite mgbe afọ inwere onwe ruru.
32 'As to cities of the Levites — houses of the cities of their possession — redemption age-during is to the Levites;
“‘Ma banyere obodo niile nke ndị Livayị dị iche iche. Ha nwere ikike ịgbapụta ụlọ ha dị nʼime nketa ha mgbe ọbụla.
33 as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Ihe onwunwe ndị Livayị bụ nke e nwere ike ịgbapụta, bụ ndị a, ụlọ niile e rere nke dị nʼobodo ha nwere. Ọ ga-abụ nʼafọ inwere onwe ka aga enwetaghachi ha, nʼihi na ụlọ ndị ahụ dị nʼobodo ndị Livayị bụ naanị oke ha nwere nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.
34 And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it [is] to them.
Ma a gaghị ere ala ebe ịta nri nke anụ ụlọ gbara obodo ha gburugburu ere, nʼihi ọ bụ ihe ha nwee nʼọha ruo ebighị ebi.
35 'And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee;
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwanne gị adaa ogbenye ruo na o nweghị ike inyere onwe ya aka, ọ dị gị nʼaka inyere ya aka, kpọbata ya ka ọ bịa biri nʼụlọ gị dịka ị ga-esi kpọbata onye ọbịa. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ ga-anọgide biri nʼetiti unu.
36 thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;
Tụọ egwu Chineke, kwerekwa ka nwanna gị soro gị biri nʼala ahụ. A nakwala ụma maọbụ ọmụrụnwa ọbụla.
37 thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;
Ị gaghị ana ọmụrụnwa nʼego i gbazinyere ha, maọbụ rie uru site na nri i resiri ha.
38 I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.
Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt, inye unu ala Kenan, na ị bụ Chineke unu.
39 'And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;
“‘Ọ bụrụ na onye Izrel ọbụla adaa ogbenye, resi gị onwe ya, emela ka o jere gị ozi dịka onye ohu.
40 as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, —
Kama ị ga-emeso ya mmeso dịka ị ga-esi meso onye ọrụ e goro ego, maọbụ dịka onye ọbịa nọ nʼetiti unu. Ọ ga-ejere gị ozi tutu ruo afọ inwere onwe.
41 then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.
Nʼafọ ahụ, ị ga-ahapụ ha na ụmụ ha ka ha laghachikwuru ndị ikwu ha, si otu a nwetaghachi ala ubi dị nʼezinaụlọ ha.
42 'For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;
Nʼihi na a kpọpụtara m ndị Izrel site nʼala Ijipt ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere m ozi. Ya mere, a gaghị ere ha mgbe ọbụla dịka ohu.
43 thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.
A gakwaghị emegbu ha nʼụzọ dị njọ. Tụọnụ egwu Chineke unu.
44 'And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast [are] of the nations who [are] round about you; of them ye buy man-servant and handmaid,
“‘Ma unu nwere ike gbara ndị ohu nwoke maọbụ nwanyị site nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ niile bi nʼakụkụ unu. Unu nwere ike site nʼebe ahụ zụta ndị ohu.
45 and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;
Unu nwere ike ịzụ ndị ohu site nʼetiti ndị mbịarambịa bi nʼetiti unu, maọbụ site nʼetiti ndị agbụrụ ha a mụrụ nʼala Izrel. Ndị dị otu a ga-abụkwa ihe onwunwe unu.
46 and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy [for] a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour.
Unu nwere ike kenye ha ụmụ unu dịka ihe nketa, ma mee ha ndị ohu unu ụbọchị ndụ ha niile. Ma unu agaghị eji aka ike chịa onye Izrel ibe unu.
47 'And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee attaineth [riches], and thy brother with him hath become poor, and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,
“‘Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu aghọọ ọgaranya, ma otu nʼime ụmụnna unu adaa ogbenye were onwe ya resi onye ọbịa ahụ bi nʼetiti unu, maọbụ were onwe ya resi nwanna ndị ikwu onye ọbịa ahụ,
48 after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,
ha nwere ikike ịgbapụta ya mgbe ha resiri onwe ha. Otu nʼime ụmụnna ya nwere ike gbapụta ha.
49 or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or — his own hand hath attained — then he hath been redeemed.
Nwanne nne ya, maọbụ nwanne nna ya, maọbụ nwanna nʼikwu ha ọbụla nwere ike ịgbapụta ya. Ọ nwekwara ike ịgbapụta onwe ya ma ọ bụrụ na ọ kpata ego.
50 'And he hath reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him till the year of jubilee, and the money of his sale hath been by the number of years; as the days of an hireling it is with him.
Ya na onye ahụ o resiri onwe ya ga-agụ afọ ole ọ bụ site na mgbe o rere onwe ya ruo nʼafọ inwere onwe. Ego a ga-akwụ nʼihi ịgbapụta ya ga-abụ ego ọ ga-efu ịkwụ ohu ọzọ ụgwọ ịrụ ọrụ ọnụọgụgụ afọ ndị ahụ niile.
51 'If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his redemption [money], from the money of his purchase.
Ọ bụrụ nʼọtụtụ afọ fọdụrụ, ọ ga-esite nʼọnụ ego e rere ha kwụọ nke dị ukwu dịka ego mgbapụta ha. Naanị ihe ntakịrị ga-apụ nʼime ego ahụ.
52 'And if few are left of the years till the year of jubilee, then he hath reckoned with him, according to his years he doth give back his redemption [money];
Ọ bụrụ naanị afọ ole na ole fọdụrụ tupu afọ inwere onwe eruo, ọ ga-agụkọ ihe ego ahụ pụtara, kwụọ ya maka ịgbara onwe ya dịka o kwesiri.
53 as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.
A ga-emeso ha dịka ndị ọrụ e goro ego kwa afọ, ma ị ga-ahụ na onye ha nọ nʼokpuru ya agaghị eji aka ike chịa ha.
54 'And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he hath gone out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.
“‘Ma ọ bụrụ na e nweghị ike gbapụta ya site nʼụzọ ndị a niile, ya na ụmụ ya ga-enwere onwe ha mgbe afọ inwere onwe ahụ zuru.
55 For to Me [are] the sons of Israel servants; My servants they [are], whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.
Nʼihi na mụ ka ụmụ Izrel bụ ndị ohu nye. Ha bụ ndị ohu m, ndị m kpọpụtara site nʼala Ijipt. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
