< Mose 3 25 >

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai to la dzi bena,
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,
2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne miege ɖe anyigba si mele mia na ge dzi la, ele be anyigba la naɖu dzudzɔgbe na Yehowa.
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whenever you shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.
3 Miaƒã miaƒe nukuwo, aɖe miaƒe waintiwo ŋu, eye miaxa miaƒe agblemenukuwo,
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vine, and gather in its fruit.
4 ke le ƒe adrelia me la, miagblẽ anyigba la ɖi le Yehowa ŋkume; miagade agble ɖe edzi o. Migaƒã nukuwo o, eye migaɖe miaƒe waintiwo ŋu le ƒe blibo la me o.
But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: you shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vine.
5 Migaŋe nuku siwo mie le wo ɖokuiwo si o; migagbe wain tsetsewo gɔ̃ hã na mia ɖokuiwo o, elabena ƒe adrelia nye dzudzɔƒe na anyigba la.
And you shall not gather the spontaneous produce of your field, and you shall not gather fully the grapes of your dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.
6 Nuɖuɖu ɖe sia ɖe si ado tso anyigba la me le dzudzɔƒe la me la, anye nuɖuɖu na mi, na wò ŋutɔ, wò ŋutsusubɔla kple wò nyɔnusubɔla kple agbatedɔwɔla kple ame si le gbɔwò le ŋkeke mawo me ko,
And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for you, and for your man-servant, and for your maidservant, and your hireling, and the stranger that abides with you.
7 hekpe ɖe wò aƒemelãwo kple lã wɔadã siwo le wò anyigba dzi la ŋu. Nu sia nu si anyigba la na la, woate ŋu aɖui.
And for your cattle, and for the wild beats that are in your land, shall every fruit of it be for food.
8 “‘Xlẽ dzudzɔƒe teƒe adre ale be dzudzɔƒe teƒe adreawo ƒe teƒe adre nanye ƒe blaene-vɔ-asiekɛ.
And you shall reckon to yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to you seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.
9 Ekema na woaku kpẽ le afi sia afi le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke ewoa gbe; le Avuléŋkeke la dzi la, na woaku kpẽ le wò anyigba blibo la dzi.
In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement you shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.
10 Kɔ ƒe blatɔ̃lia ŋuti, eye nàɖe gbeƒã ablɔɖe le anyigba blibo la dzi na edzinɔlawo. Anye Aseyetsoƒe na mi. Mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atrɔ ayi eƒe ƒome ƒe nunɔamesiwo gbɔ, eye ame sia ame atrɔ ayi eƒe to si me wòtso la me.
And you shall sanctify the year, the fifties year, and you shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and you shall go each to his family.
11 Ƒe blaatɔ̃lia anye Aseyetsoƒe na mi. Migaƒã nu alo axa nuku siwo mie le woawo ŋutɔ ɖokui si alo agbe waintsetse siwo tsi gbe me o,
This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fifties year: you shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall you gather its dedicated fruits.
12 elabena Aseyetsoƒe kɔkɔe aɖee wònye na mi. Le ƒe ma me la, miaƒe nuɖuɖu anye nuku siwo miexa tso agble me.
For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, you shall eat its fruits off the fields.
13 “‘Ɛ̃, le ƒe ma me la, ame sia ame atrɔ ayi wo de, ayi nu si nye eƒe ƒomea tɔ la gbɔ; ne edzra nane la, woagbugbɔe nɛ!
In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.
14 “‘Ne èdzra anyigba na Israelvi aɖe alo ƒlee le esi la, mègabae o.
And if you should sell a possession to your neighbour, or if you should buy of your neighbour, let not a man oppress his neighbour.
15 Aseyetsoƒe la ŋu nàƒle nu le nɔviwo si ɖo, eye ƒe ale si sinu nàŋe nu la ŋu wòadzrae na wò ɖo.
According to the number of years after the jubilee shall you buy of your neighbour, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to you.
16 Ne Aseyetsoƒe la le ŋgɔ ƒe geɖe la, anyigba la ƒe home akɔ. Ke ne ƒe ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ la, asi la abɔbɔ, elabena nu si ŋuti wole asi dom ɖo lae nye agblemenuku siwo anyigbatɔ yeye la akpɔ le anyigba la dzi.
According as [there may be] a greater number of years he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as [there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of] his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to you.
17 Migaba mia nɔewo o, ke boŋ mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu; nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
18 “‘Milé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye miakpɔ egbɔ be yewowɔ nye seawo dzi, ekema mianɔ dedie le anyigba la dzi.
And you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements; and do you observe them, and you shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.
19 Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, miaƒe agblemenukuwo aʋã, eye miaɖu nu aɖi ƒo.
And the land shall yield her increase, and you shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.
20 Ke miabia be, “Nu ka míaɖu le ƒe adrelia me esi womeɖe mɔ na mí be míaƒã nu alo aŋe nu le ƒe ma me o?”
And if you should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?
21 Mayra mi le ƒe adelia me ale gbegbe be anyigba la ana nuɖuɖu si asu mia nu ƒe etɔ̃.
Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.
22 Ne mieƒã nukuwo le ƒe enyilia me la, miaɖu miaƒe nu xoxowo, eye miayi wo ɖuɖu dzi va se ɖe esime ƒe asiekɛlia ƒe nuŋeɣi naɖo.
And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, you shall eat old fruits of the old.
23 “‘Miɖo ŋku edzi be tɔnyee nye anyigba la, eya ta migadzrae ɖikaa o. Gbɔnyenɔlawo kple amedzro siwo le agble dzi nam ko mienye!
And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because you are strangers and sojourners before me.
24 Le anyigbadzadzra ƒe ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe me la, ele be woaɖo kpe edzi be anyigbadzrala la agate ŋu agbugbɔ anyigba la axɔ ɣe sia ɣi.
And in every land of your possession, you shall allow ransoms for the land.
25 “‘Ne hiã tu ame aɖe, eye wòdzra eƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖe la, ekema eƒe ƒometɔ tututuwo ate ŋu axe fe ɖe eta, axɔe.
And if your brother who is with you be poor, and should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is near to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.
26 Ne ƒometɔ aɖeke meli si ate ŋu axɔe o, eye wòva kpɔ ga emegbe la,
And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;
27 ekema eya ŋutɔ agate ŋu aƒlee ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòaxe ga ɖe eta ɖe nuŋeɣi siwo susɔ hafi Aseyetsoƒe naɖo la nu. Ele be anyigbaƒlela la naxɔ ga la, eye wòagbugbɔ anyigba la na anyigbatɔ gbãtɔ.
then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.
28 Ke ne anyigbatɔ gbãtɔ la mete ŋu gbugbɔe ƒle o la, ekema anyigba la anye eƒlela la tɔ va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe la dzi. Ke ele be wòagbugbɔe na anyigbatɔ la le Aseyetsoƒe la me kokoko.
But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.
29 “‘Ne ame aɖe dzra eƒe aƒe le du si woɖo gli ƒo xlãe me la, agate ŋu axɔe le ƒe ɖeka me ko.
And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.
30 Ke ne mete ŋu xɔe le ƒe ɖeka ma me o la, ekema azu eƒlela kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo tɔ ɖikaa, eye magbugbɔ ayi edzrala ƒe asi me le Aseyetsoƒe la gɔ̃ hã me o.
And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.
31 Ke aƒe siwo le du siwo womeɖo gli ƒo xlã o me ya la le ko abe aƒe siwo wotso ɖe agblewo dzi ene, eya ta woate ŋu agbugbɔ wo axɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye woagbugbɔ wo na nutɔ gbãtɔwo le Aseyetsoƒe la me kokoko.
But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.
32 “‘Mele alea le Levitɔwo ya gome o. Levitɔwo ya ate ŋu agbugbɔ woƒe aƒewo axɔ ɣe sia ɣi, le du siwo wotsɔ na wo la me,
And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.
33 ke ne Levitɔ aɖeke mexɔe o la, ekema woaɖe asi le aƒe si wodzra le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe du me la ŋuti le Aseyetsoƒe la dzi, elabena Levitɔwo ƒe duwo nye woawo ŋutɔ tɔ le Israelviwo dome.
And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.
34 Womeɖe mɔ na Levitɔwo be woadzra lãnyiƒenyigba siwo ƒo xlã woƒe duwo o, elabena wonye wo tɔ ɖikaa, eye womagate ŋu anye ame bubu aɖeke tɔ o.
And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
35 “‘Ne hiã tu hawòvi, Israelvi, eye magate ŋu akpɔ eɖokui dzi o la, enye wò dɔdeasi be nàkpe ɖe eŋu. Na wòava nɔ gbɔwò le wò aƒe me abe amedzro si dze gbɔwò ene.
And if your brother who is with you become poor, and he fail in resources with you, you shall help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and your brother shall live with you.
36 Mègaxɔ deme ɖe ga si nèdo nɛ la dzi o, ke boŋ vɔ̃ wò Mawu, eye nàna wòanɔ gbɔwò.
You shall not receive from him interest, nor increase: and you shall fear your God: I [am] the Lord: and your brother shall live with you.
37 Ɖo ŋku edzi be deme aɖeke mele eme o, eye nàna nu sia nu si hiãe la adzɔmaxɔe. Mègati viɖe yome o.
You shall not lend your money to him at interest, and you shall not lend your meat to him to be returned with increase.
38 Esiae nye sedede tso nye, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gbɔ, ame si kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi be matsɔ Kanaanyigba ana mi, eye manye miaƒe Mawu.
I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God.
39 “‘Ne nɔviwò Israelvi aɖe ɖo ko, eye wòdzra eɖokui na wò la, mele be nàwɔ eŋu dɔ abe kluvi bubuawo ene o,
And if your brother by you be lowered, and be sold to you, he shall not serve you with the servitude of a slave.
40 ke boŋ nàbui abe wò agbatedɔwɔla alo wò amedzro ene, eye wòasubɔ wò va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe la me.
He shall be with you as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for you till the year of release:
41 Le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ate ŋu adzo kple viawo, eye wòatrɔ ayi eya ŋutɔ ƒe ƒometɔwo kple eƒe domenyinuwo gbɔ.
and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.
42 Esi wònye nyee kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi, eye nye subɔlawo mienye ta la, mele be woadzra mi abe kluvi bubuawo ene loo
Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.
43 alo awɔ fu mi o. Mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu.
You shall not oppress him with labour, and shall fear the Lord your God.
44 “‘Miate ŋu aƒle kluviwo tso dukɔ bubu siwo ƒo xlã mi la me,
And whatever number of menservants and maidservants you shall have, you shall purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about you.
45 eye miate ŋu aƒle amedzro siwo ƒo xlã mi la ƒe viwo, togbɔ be wodzi wo le miaƒe anyigba dzi hã.
And of the sons of the sojourners that are amongst you, of these you shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.
46 Woanye kluviwo na mi tegbetegbe, eye miagblẽ wo ɖi na mia viwo. Ke mele be miawɔ mia nɔvi, Israelviwo ya nenema o.
And you shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.
47 “‘Ne amedzro aɖe si le mia dome zu hotsuitɔ, eye ne Israelvi aɖe ɖo ko, eye wòdzra eɖokui na amedzro hotsuitɔ la alo hotsuitɔ la ƒe ƒometɔ la,
And if a stranger or sojourner with you wax rich, and your brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with you, or to a proselyte by extraction;
48 Israelvi la nɔviŋutsu,
after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.
49 fofoa alo dadaa nɔviŋutsu, nɔvia ŋutsu alo nɔvia nyɔnu, viŋutsu alo ame sia ame si nye eƒe ƒometɔ tututu la ate ŋu axɔe. Eya ŋutɔ hã ate ŋu axɔ eɖokui ne ate ŋu akpɔ ga home la.
A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,
50 Fe si wòaxe ɖe eƒe ablɔɖe ta la, aku ɖe ƒe siwo susɔ hafi Aseyetsoƒe la naɖo la ŋu. Esɔ kple fe si woaxe na agbatedɔwɔlawo le ƒe mawo me.
then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.
51 Ne ƒe geɖewo ava yi hafi Aseyetsoƒe la naɖo la, ekema amea axe ga si wòxɔ esime wòdzra eɖokui la ƒe akpa gãtɔ.
And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money.

And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom
53 Ne edzra eɖokui na amedzro aɖe la, ele be amedzro la nalé be nɛ abe agbatedɔwɔla ene, ke mawɔ eŋu dɔ abe kluvi alo nu si nye etɔ la ene o.
as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; you shall not oppress him with labour before you.
54 “‘Ne womete ŋu xɔe hafi Aseyetsoƒe la ɖo o la, ekema woana ablɔɖe eya ŋutɔ kple viawo le Aseyetsoƒe la me.
And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.
55 Elabena nye amewoe nye Israelviwo. Nyee ɖe wo tso Egiptenyigba dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
