Mose 3 25
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai to la dzi bena,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, in Mount Sinai, 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 sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, then the land has kept a Sabbath to YHWH.
3 Miaƒã miaƒe nukuwo, aɖe miaƒe waintiwo ŋu, eye miaxa miaƒe agblemenukuwo,
[For] six years you sow your field, and [for] six years you prune your vineyard, and have gathered its increase,
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.
and in the seventh year is a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH; you do not sow your field, and you do not prune your vineyard;
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.
you do not reap the spontaneous growth of your harvest, and you do not gather the grapes of your separated thing; it is a year of rest for 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 Sabbath [increase] of the land has been for you for food, to you, and to your manservant, and to your handmaid, and to your hired worker, and to your settler, who are sojourning 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 livestock, and for the beast which [is] in your land, is all its increase for [them] to eat.
8 “‘Xlẽ dzudzɔƒe teƒe adre ale be dzudzɔƒe teƒe adreawo ƒe teƒe adre nanye ƒe blaene-vɔ-asiekɛ.
And you have numbered seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven Sabbaths of years have been forty-nine years for you,
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.
and you have caused a horn of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; in the Day of Atonements you cause a horn to pass over through 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 have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and you have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it is a Jubilee for you; and you have turned back each to his possession; indeed, you return 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,
It [is] a Jubilee, the fiftieth year, it is a year for you; you do not sow, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;
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—it is holy to you; you eat its increase from the field;
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!
you return each to his possession in this Year of the Jubilee.
14 “‘Ne èdzra anyigba na Israelvi aɖe alo ƒlee le esi la, mègabae o.
And when you sell anything to your fellow, or buy from the hand of your fellow, you do not oppress one another;
15 Aseyetsoƒe la ŋu nàƒle nu le nɔviwo si ɖo, eye ƒe ale si sinu nàŋe nu la ŋu wòadzrae na wò ɖo.
you buy from your fellow by the number of years after the Jubilee; he sells to you by the number of the years of increase;
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.
you multiply its price according to the multitude of the years, and you diminish its price according to the fewness of the years; for [it is] a number of increases [that] he is selling to you;
17 Migaba mia nɔewo o, ke boŋ mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu; nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
and you do not oppress one another, and you have been afraid of your God; for I [am] your God YHWH.
18 “‘Milé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye miakpɔ egbɔ be yewowɔ nye seawo dzi, ekema mianɔ dedie le anyigba la dzi.
And you have done My statutes, and you keep My judgments, and have done them, and you have dwelt on the land confidently,
19 Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, miaƒe agblemenukuwo aʋã, eye miaɖu nu aɖi ƒo.
and the land has given its fruit, and you have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on 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 when you say, What do we eat in the seventh year, behold, do we not sow, nor gather our increase?
21 Mayra mi le ƒe adelia me ale gbegbe be anyigba la ana nuɖuɖu si asu mia nu ƒe etɔ̃.
Then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it has made the increase 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 have sown [in] the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; you eat the old until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase.
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 is not sold—to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for you [are] sojourners and settlers with 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 all the land of your possession you give a redemption 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.
When your brother becomes poor, and has sold his possession, then his redeemer who is near to him has come, and he has redeemed the sold thing of his brother;
26 Ne ƒometɔ aɖeke meli si ate ŋu axɔe o, eye wòva kpɔ ga emegbe la,
and when a man has no redeemer, and his own hand has attained [means], and he has found [it] as sufficient [for] its redemption,
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 he has reckoned the years of its sale, and has given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he has returned 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.
And if his hand has not found sufficiency to give back to him, then his sold thing has been in the hand of him who buys it until the Year of Jubilee; and it has gone out in the Jubilee, and he has returned 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 when a man sells a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then his right of redemption has been until the completion of a year from its selling; his right of redemption is [during these] days;
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 is not redeemed to him until the fullness of a perfect year, then the house which [is] in a walled city has been established to extinction to him buying it, throughout his generations; it does not go out in the Jubilee.
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.
And a house of the villages which have no surrounding wall is reckoned on the field of the country; there is redemption for it, and it goes out in the Jubilee.
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,
As for cities of the Levites—houses of the cities of their possession—continuous redemption is for 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.
as for him who redeems from the Levites, then the sale of a house (and [in] the city of his possession) has 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.
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 a field, a outskirt of their cities, is not sold; for it [is] a continuous possession for them.
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 when your brother has become poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you have kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he has lived with you;
36 Mègaxɔ deme ɖe ga si nèdo nɛ la dzi o, ke boŋ vɔ̃ wò Mawu, eye nàna wòanɔ gbɔwò.
you take no usury or increase from him; and you have been afraid of your God; and your brother has lived 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 do not give your money to him in usury, and you do not give your food for 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt to give the land of Canaan to you, to become 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 when your brother becomes poor with you, and he has been sold to you, you do not lay servile service on him;
40 ke boŋ nàbui abe wò agbatedɔwɔla alo wò amedzro ene, eye wòasubɔ wò va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe la me.
he is as a hired worker [and] as a settler with you; he serves with you until the Year of the Jubilee—
41 Le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ate ŋu adzo kple viawo, eye wòatrɔ ayi eya ŋutɔ ƒe ƒometɔwo kple eƒe domenyinuwo gbɔ.
then he has gone out from you, he and his sons with him, and has turned back to his family; and he turns back to the possession of his fathers.
42 Esi wònye nyee kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi, eye nye subɔlawo mienye ta la, mele be woadzra mi abe kluvi bubuawo ene loo
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;
43 alo awɔ fu mi o. Mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu.
you do not rule over him with rigor, and you have been afraid of your God.
44 “‘Miate ŋu aƒle kluviwo tso dukɔ bubu siwo ƒo xlã mi la me,
And your manservant and your handmaid whom you have [are] from the nations who [are] around you; you buy manservant and handmaid from them,
45 eye miate ŋu aƒle amedzro siwo ƒo xlã mi la ƒe viwo, togbɔ be wodzi wo le miaƒe anyigba dzi hã.
and also from the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, you buy from them, and from their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been 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 have taken them for an inheritance for your sons after you, to inherit [for] a possession; you lay service on them for all time, but on your brothers, the sons of Israel, each with his brother—you do not rule over him with rigor.
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 when the hand of a sojourner or settler with you attains [riches], and your brother with him has become poor, and he has been sold to a sojourner, a settler with you, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,
48 Israelvi la nɔviŋutsu,
after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption for him; one of his brothers redeems 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.
or his uncle or a son of his uncle redeems him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, redeems him, or [if] his own hand has attained [means] then he has been redeemed.
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.
And he has reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him until the Year of Jubilee, and the money of his sale has been by the number of years; it is with him as the days of a hired worker.
51 Ne ƒe geɖewo ava yi hafi Aseyetsoƒe la naɖo la, ekema amea axe ga si wòxɔ esime wòdzra eɖokui la ƒe akpa gãtɔ.
If many years still [remain], he gives back his redemption [money] according to them, from the money of his purchase.
52 Ne ƒeawo va yi, eye wòsusɔ ƒe ʋɛ aɖewo ko Aseyetsoƒe la naɖo la, ekema axe ga si wòxɔ esi wòdzra eɖokui la ƒe akpa sue aɖe ko.
And if few are left of the years until the Year of Jubilee, then he has reckoned with him [and] he gives back his redemption [money] according to his years;
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 hired worker, year by year, he is with him, and he does not rule him with rigor before your eyes.
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 is not redeemed in these [years], then he has gone out in the Year of Jubilee, he and his sons with him.
55 Elabena nye amewoe nye Israelviwo. Nyee ɖe wo tso Egiptenyigba dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me; they [are] My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.”
