< Alawii 25 >
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai atĩrĩ,
And YHWH spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa ngaamũhe-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio guo mwene no nginya ũkaagĩaga na Thabatũ ĩrĩa yamũrĩirwo Jehova.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto YHWH.
3 Mũkaahaandaga mĩgũnda yanyu mĩaka ĩtandatũ, na mũcehage mĩgũnda yanyu ya thabibũ mũkamĩcehaga mĩaka ĩtandatũ mũgĩcookanagĩrĩria maciaro mayo.
Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 No mwaka wa mũgwanja wakinya, bũrũri ũcio nĩũkagĩa na Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, Thabatũ yamũrĩirwo Jehova; mũtikanahaande kĩndũ mĩgũnda kana mũcehe mĩthabibũ yanyu.
But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for YHWH: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 Irio iria ikeemeria, nĩcio cia maitĩka-rĩ, mũtikanacigethe kana mũgethe thabibũ cia mĩthabibũ yanyu ĩyo ĩtarĩ mĩrutĩre wĩra. Bũrũri ũcio no nginya ũkaagĩa na mwaka wa kũhurũka.
That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6 Kĩrĩa gĩothe bũrũri ũcio ũgaaciara mwaka-inĩ ũcio wa Thabatũ gĩgaatuĩka irio cianyu, inyuĩ ene na cia ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na cia aruti anyu a wĩra wa mũcaara, na mũraarĩrĩri ũrĩa mũikaranĩtie nake,
And the Sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 o hamwe na mahiũ manyu na nyamũ cia gĩthaka iria itũũraga bũrũri wanyu. Kĩrĩa gĩothe bũrũri ũcio ũgaaciara no kĩrĩĩo.
And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8 “‘Tarai Thabatũ mũgwanja cia mĩaka, mĩaka mũgwanja maita mũgwanja, nĩguo Thabatũ icio mũgwanja cia mĩaka ihinge mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na kenda.
And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9 Ningĩ mũcooke mũhuhe karumbeta kũndũ guothe mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa mũgwanja; Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia, mũkaahuha karumbeta kũndũ guothe bũrũri-inĩ wanyu.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 Amũrai mwaka ũcio wa mĩrongo ĩtano, na mũhunjanĩrie ũhoro wa kũohorwo kwa andũ othe arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũcio wothe. Mwaka ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa Jubilii nĩ ũndũ wanyu; o mũndũ wanyu nĩagacooka kũrĩa ithaka cia nyũmba yao irĩ, na kũrĩa andũ a mũhĩrĩga wao marĩ.
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11 Mwaka ũcio wa mĩrongo ĩtano ũgaatuĩka wa Jubilii kũrĩ inyuĩ; mũtikanahaande na mũtikanagethe kĩrĩa gĩĩkũrĩtie kĩo kĩene, kana mũgethe mĩthabibũ ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ mĩrutĩre wĩra.
A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12 Nĩgũkorwo ĩyo nĩ Jubilii, na nĩyo ĩgaatuĩka theru kũrĩ inyuĩ; rĩĩagai o kĩrĩa gĩĩkũrĩtie mĩgũnda-inĩ.
For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13 “‘Mwaka-inĩ ũyũ wa Jubilii, o mũndũ no nginya acooke gĩthaka-inĩ gĩake.
In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14 “‘Mũngĩkenderia mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu mũgũnda kana mũgũre mũgũnda kũrĩ we, mũtikanaheenanie mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15 Mũrĩgũraga mũgũnda wa mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu kũringana na ũrĩa mĩaka ĩthirĩte thuutha wa Jubilii. Nake mwendia akaawendagia kũringana na mĩaka ĩrĩa ĩgakorwo ĩtigarĩte ya magetha.
According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16 Mĩaka ĩngĩkorwo ĩtigarĩte mĩingĩ, mũkongerera thogora, na mĩaka ĩngĩkorwo ĩtigarĩte mĩnini, mũkanyiihia thogora, nĩ ũndũ kĩrĩa arakwenderia nĩ mũigana wa magetha.
According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17 Mũtikanaheenanie mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, no mwĩtigagĩre Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy Elohim: for I am YHWH your Elohim.
18 “‘Rũmagĩrĩrai kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa na mwĩmenyagĩrĩre nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre mawatho makwa, na inyuĩ nĩ mũgaatũũra bũrũri ũcio mũrĩ na thayũ.
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 Naguo bũrũri ũcio nĩũgaciaraga maciaro maguo, na inyuĩ nĩmũkarĩĩaga mũkahũũna na mũtũũre kuo mũrĩ na thayũ.
And the land shall yield her fruit, and he shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 Mwahota kũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkaarĩa kĩ mwaka wa mũgwanja aakorwo tũtikahaanda kana tũgethe?”
And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Nĩngamũtũmĩra kĩrathimo mwaka-inĩ ũcio wa gatandatũ nĩguo mĩgũnda yanyu ĩgaaciara maciaro ma kũmũigana mĩaka ĩtatũ.
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 Mũkĩhaanda mwaka-inĩ wa kanana, mũkaarĩĩaga irio iria mwaigĩte mũthiithũ, na mũgaacirĩa nginya mũgethe maciaro ma mwaka wa kenda.
And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
23 “‘Mĩgũnda ndĩkanendio biũ, tondũ bũrũri nĩ wakwa na inyuĩ mũrĩ o ageni kuo, na nĩ niĩ ndĩmũkomborithĩtie.
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Bũrũri wothe ũrĩa mwĩnyiitĩire ũgaatuĩka wanyu, no nginya kũgĩe na mweke wa gũkũũraga mĩgũnda ĩyo.
And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 “‘Mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu angĩthĩĩna na endie gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda wake, mũndũ ũrĩa wa hakuhĩ mũno wa nyũmba yake nĩagooka na akũũre mũgũnda ũcio mũndũ wao eendetie.
If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkorwo ndarĩ na mũndũ wa kũmũkũũrĩra mũgũnda, na we mwene atonge agĩe na indo ciiganĩte kũũkũũra,
And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 nĩwe ũgaatua thogora kũringana na mĩaka ĩrĩa mĩthiru kuuma rĩrĩa aawendirie, na acookie mbeeca icio ingĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa eendeirie; thuutha ũcio no acooke mũgũnda-inĩ wake.
Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
28 No angĩaga kũgĩa na indo cia kũmũrĩha-rĩ, gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa eendirie gĩgũtũũra kĩrĩ kĩa mũgũri nginya Mwaka wa Jubilii. Gĩgaacookio hĩndĩ ya Jubilii, na hĩndĩ ĩyo no acooke gĩthaka-inĩ gĩake.
But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29 “‘Mũndũ angĩkeendia nyũmba ĩrĩ itũũra-inĩ inene rĩirigĩre, nĩarĩkoragwo arĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũmĩkũũra ihinda rĩa mwaka mũgima kuuma amĩendia. Thĩinĩ wa ihinda rĩu no amĩkũũre.
And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
30 Ĩngĩaga gũkũũrwo mwaka ũmwe ũtanathira, nyũmba ĩyo ĩrĩ itũũra-inĩ inene rĩirigĩre nĩĩgatuĩka ya mũmĩgũri na njiaro ciake nginya tene. Nyũmba ĩyo ndĩgaacookerio mwene Mwaka wa Jubilii.
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
31 No nyũmba cia tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa tũtarĩ tũirigĩre, irĩtuagwo ta mĩgũnda ya kũndũ gũtarĩ kũirige. Icio no ikũũrwo, na nĩ igaacookio Mwaka wa Jubilii.
But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
32 “‘Alawii hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ marĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gũkũũraga nyũmba ciao iria irĩ matũũra-inĩ ma Alawii, marĩa megwatĩire.
Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio indo cia Alawii no ikũũrwo, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga atĩ, nyũmba nyendie itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩao, nĩĩgacookio Mwaka wa Jubilii, tondũ nyũmba iria irĩ matũũra-inĩ ma Alawii nĩcio igai rĩao thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 No ithaka cia ũrĩithio cia matũũra mao itikanendio; icio nĩ ciao nginya tene.
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 “‘Mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu angĩthĩĩna nginya aremwo nĩ kwĩrũgamĩrĩra gatagatĩ kanyu, mũteithagiei o ta ũrĩa mũngĩteithia mũgeni kana mũndũ ũrarĩrĩire kwanyu, nĩgeetha ahote gũtũũrania na inyuĩ.
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36 Mũtikanamũrĩhie uumithio o na ũrĩkũ, no mwĩtigagĩre Ngai wanyu, nĩgeetha mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu ahote gũtũũrania na inyuĩ.
Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy Elohim; that thy brother may live with thee.
37 Mũtikanamũkombere mbeeca nĩguo acookie na maciaro, kana mũmwenderie irio nĩguo muone uumithio.
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩguo ndĩmũhe bũrũri wa Kaanani na nduĩke Ngai wanyu.
I am YHWH your Elohim, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your Elohim.
39 “‘Mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu angĩthĩĩna arĩ gatagatĩ kanyu, nake eyendie harĩ inyuĩ, mũtikanamũrutithie wĩra ta ngombo.
And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 Mũkaamũtua ta mũruti wa wĩra wa mũcaara kana ta mũndũ ũrarĩrĩire kwanyu; mũndũ ũcio akaamũrutĩra wĩra nginya Mwaka wa Jubilii.
But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41 Thuutha ũcio mũndũ ũcio na ciana ciake nĩmakarekererio, nake acooke kũrĩ andũ a mũhĩrĩga wake, na gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa maithe make ma tene.
And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 Tondũ andũ a Isiraeli nĩ ndungata ciakwa, iria ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri, matikanendio matuĩke ngombo.
For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43 Mũtikamaathage mũtekũmaiguĩra tha, no mwĩtigagĩrei Ngai wanyu.
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy Elohim.
44 “‘Ngombo cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja iriumaga ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria imũrigiicĩirie; kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio no mũgũrage ngombo.
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45 O na ningĩ no mwĩgũrĩre ngombo kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa mararĩrĩire kwanyu na kuuma kũrĩ andũ a mĩhĩrĩga yao arĩa maciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu, nao matuĩke indo cianyu.
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
47 “‘No rĩrĩ, mũgeni kana mũndũ ũrĩa ũrarĩrĩire kwanyu angĩtonga arĩ gatagatĩ kanyu, nake mũndũ wa bũrũri wanyu athĩĩne na eyendie kũrĩ mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranĩtie na inyuĩ, kana kũrĩ mũndũ wa mũhĩrĩga wa mũndũ ũcio mũgeni-rĩ,

Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51 Angĩkorwo nĩ mĩaka mĩingĩ ĩtigarĩte, nĩakarĩha gĩcunjĩ kĩnene gĩa thogora ũrĩa aagũrĩtwo naguo.
If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53 Agaatuuo ta mũndũ wa mũcaara mwaka o mwaka; na no nginya mũmenyagĩrĩre atĩ mũmũgũri ndarĩmwathaga atekũmũiguĩra tha.
And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54 “‘O na angĩaga gũkũũrwo na njĩra ĩmwe ya icio, we na ciana ciake no nginya makaarekererio Mwaka wa Jubilii wakinya,
And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
