Mose 3 25
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai to la dzi bena,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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.
3 Miaƒã miaƒe nukuwo, aɖe miaƒe waintiwo ŋu, eye miaxa miaƒe agblemenukuwo,
'Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast 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 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;
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.
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.
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 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;
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 to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land, is all thine increase for food.
8 “‘Xlẽ dzudzɔƒe teƒe adre ale be dzudzɔƒe teƒe adreawo ƒe teƒe adre nanye ƒe blaene-vɔ-asiekɛ.
'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,
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 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;
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 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.
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,
'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;
12 elabena Aseyetsoƒe kɔkɔe aɖee wònye na mi. Le ƒe ma me la, miaƒe nuɖuɖu anye nuku siwo miexa tso agble me.
for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;
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 this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.
14 “‘Ne èdzra anyigba na Israelvi aɖe alo ƒlee le esi la, mègabae o.
'And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye 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.
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;
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 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;
17 Migaba mia nɔewo o, ke boŋ mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu; nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah 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 ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,
19 Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, miaƒe agblemenukuwo aʋã, eye miaɖu nu aɖi ƒo.
and the land hath given its fruit, and ye 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 ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do 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 hath 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 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.
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 sojourners and settlers [are] ye with Me;

and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to 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 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;
26 Ne ƒometɔ aɖeke meli si ate ŋu axɔe o, eye wòva kpɔ ga emegbe la,
and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption,

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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.
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 to cities of the Levites — houses of the cities of their possession — redemption age-during is 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.
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.
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 suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it [is] to 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 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;
36 Mègaxɔ deme ɖe ga si nèdo nɛ la dzi o, ke boŋ vɔ̃ wò Mawu, eye nàna wòanɔ gbɔwò.
thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;
37 Ɖo ŋku edzi be deme aɖeke mele eme o, eye nàna nu sia nu si hiãe la adzɔmaxɔe. Mègati viɖe yome o.
thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;
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] 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.
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 thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;
40 ke boŋ nàbui abe wò agbatedɔwɔla alo wò amedzro ene, eye wòasubɔ wò va se ɖe Aseyetsoƒe la me.
as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, —
41 Le Aseyetsoƒe la me la, ate ŋu adzo kple viawo, eye wòatrɔ ayi eya ŋutɔ ƒe ƒometɔwo kple eƒe domenyinuwo gbɔ.
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.
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.
thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.
44 “‘Miate ŋu aƒle kluviwo tso dukɔ bubu siwo ƒo xlã mi la me,
'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,

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;
46 Woanye kluviwo na mi tegbetegbe, eye miagblẽ wo ɖi na mia viwo. Ke mele be miawɔ mia nɔvi, Israelviwo ya nenema o.
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.
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 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,
48 Israelvi la nɔviŋutsu,
after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,

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.

'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.

'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];

as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine 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 hath 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 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.
