Leviticus 25
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai, dicens:
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.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizes sabbatum Domino.
3 'Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,
Sex annis seres agrum tuum, et sex annis putabis vineam tuam, colligesque fructus eius:
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;
septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terræ, requietionis Domini: agrum non seres, et vineam non putabis.
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.
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 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;
sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillæ et mercenario tuo, et advenæ qui peregrinantur apud te:
7 and to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land, is all thine increase for food.
iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quæ nascuntur, præbebunt cibum.
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,
Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est, septies septem, quæ simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem:
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;
et clanges buccina mense septimo, decima die mensis, propitiationis tempore, in universa terra vestra.
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.
Sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum, et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terræ tuæ: ipse est enim iubilæus. Revertetur homo ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam:
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;
quia iubilæus est et quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis, neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia, et primitias vindemiæ non colligetis,
12 for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;
ob sanctificationem iubilæi, sed statim oblata comedetis.
13 in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.
Anno iubilæi redient omnes ad possessiones suas.
14 'And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;
quando vendes quippiam civi tuo, vel emes ab eo, ne contristes fratrem tuum, sed iuxta numerum annorum iubilei emes ab eo,
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;
et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi.
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;
Quanto plures anni remanserint post iubilæum, tanto crescet et pretium: et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit. tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.
17 and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah your God.
Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.
18 'And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,
Facite præcepta mea, et iudicia custodite, et implete ea, ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,
19 and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.
et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, nullius impetum formidantes.
20 'And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?
Quod si dixeritis: Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non severimus, neque collegerimus fruges nostras?
21 then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;
Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum:
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.
seretisque anno octavo, et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum: donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.
23 'And the land is not sold — to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for sojourners and settlers [are] ye 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 a redemption ye do give to the land.
unde cuncta regio possessionis vestræ sub redemptionis conditione vendetur.
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;
Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam, et voluerit propinquus eius, potest redimere quod ille vendiderat.
26 and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption,
sin autem non habuerit proximum, et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire:
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.
computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit: et quod reliquum est, reddet emptori, sicque recipiet possessionem suam.
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.
quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor quod emerat, usque ad annum iubileum. In ipso enim omnis venditio redibit ad dominum, et ad possessorem pristinum.
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;
Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.
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;
si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam, et posteri eius in perpetuum, et redimi non poterit, etiam in iubileo.
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.
Sin autem in villa domus, quæ muros non habet, agrorum iure vendetur. si ante redempta non fuerit, in iubileo revertetur ad dominum.
32 'As to cities of the Levites — houses of the cities of their possession — redemption age-during is to the Levites;
Ædes Levitarum, quæ in urbibus sunt, semper possunt redimi:
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.
si redemptæ non fuerint, in iubileo revertentur ad dominos, quia domus urbium Levitarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israel.
34 And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it [is] to them.
Suburbana autem eorum non veneant, quia possessio sempiterna est.
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;
Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirmus manu, et susceperis eum quasi advenam, et peregrinum, et vixerit tecum,
36 thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;
ne accipias usuras ab eo, nec amplius quam dedisti. Time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.
37 thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;
Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram, et frugum superabundantiam non exiges.
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.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Ægypti, ut darem vobis Terram Chanaan, et essem vester Deus.
39 'And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;
Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute famulorum,
40 as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, —
sed quasi mercenarius et colonus erit: usque ad annum iubileum operabitur apud te,
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.
et postea egredietur cum liberis suis, et revertetur ad cognationem ad possessionem patrum suorum.
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;
mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de Terra Ægypti. non veneant conditione servorum:
43 thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.
ne affligas eum per potentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.
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,
Servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quæ in circuitu vestro sunt.
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;
Et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis famulos:
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.
et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum. fratres autem vestros filios Israel ne opprimatis per potentiam.
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,
Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenæ atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei, aut cuiquam de stirpe eius:
48 after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,
post venditionem potest redimi. Qui voluerit ex fratribus suis, redimet eum,
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.
et patruus, et patruelis, et consanguineus, et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimet se,
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.
supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suæ usque ad annum iubileum: et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercenarii supputata.
51 'If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his redemption [money], from the money of his purchase.
Si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iubileum, secundum hos reddet et pretium.
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];
si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum, et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum,
53 as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.
quibus ante servivit mercedibus imputatis: non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.
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.
Quod si per hæc redimi non potuerit, anno iubileo egredietur cum liberis suis.
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.
Mei enim sunt servi, filii Israel, quos eduxi de Terra Ægypti.
