Levitik 25
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz sou mòn Sinayi a, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo pou mwen: Lè n'a antre nan peyi m'ap ban nou an, n'a bay tè a yon repo pou Seyè a.
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.
3 Pandan sizan n'a plante jaden nou, n'a taye pye rezen nou yo, epi n'a ranmase rekòt pandan sizan.
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 Men, setyèm lanne a n'a kite tè a poze nèt. Se va yon gwo lanne repo pou tè a. Se va yon lanne n'a kite tè a pran repo pou Seyè a. Nou p'ap simen anyen nan jaden nou, ni nou p'ap taye pye rezen nou yo.
But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
5 Piga nou ranmase grenn ki pouse konsa nan jaden nou pou nou vann. Ni piga nou keyi rezen ki donnen nan pye rezen nou pa t' taye pou nou vann. Se va yon lanne repo nèt pou te a.
That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest to the land.
6 Pandan tout lanne a tè a va rete san nou pa travay li. Men, sa l'a bay la va sèvi manje pou nou ak pou tout moun k'ap viv lakay nou, pou moun lòt nasyon ki fè ladesant lakay nou.
And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you.
7 Bèt domestik nou yo ak bèt bwa ki nan peyi a va manje nan sa tè a bay la tou.
And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8 N'a konte sèt lanne Repo, ki vle di sèt fwa sèt lanne, sa va ban nou karantnèf lanne.
And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty and nine years.
9 Sou dizyèm jou setyèm mwa a ki jou pou n' mande Bondye gras la, n'a fè kònen twonpèt nan tout peyi a.
Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 N'a mete senkantyèm lanne sa a apa pou Bondye, epi n'a bay lòd pou yo bay tout moun ki esklav nan peyi a libète yo pou tout lanne a. Se va yon lanne rejwisans pou tout moun. Lanne sa a, tou sa yo te vann anvan ap tounen pou ansyen mèt yo ankò osinon pou eritye yo. Tout moun ki te esklav ap tounen lib lakay yo.
And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family.
11 Senkantyèm lanne sa a va yon lanne rejwisans pou tout moun: Nou p'ap simen anyen nan jaden nou yo, ni nou p'ap ranmase grenn ki pouse konsa nan jaden nou yo pou nou vann, ni nou p'ap keyi rezen ki donnen nan pye rezen nou pa t' taye pou nou vann.
A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.
12 Paske se va yon lanne rejwisans, se va yon lanne n'a mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Men n'a manje tou sa jaden nou pa t' plante yo bay.
For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13 Nan lanne rejwisans sa a, tout tè ki te vann ap tounen pou ansyen mèt yo ankò.
In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession.
14 Konsa, si n'ap vann yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yon tè osinon si n'ap achte tè nan men l', piga nou fè koutay yonn sou do lòt.
And if you sell something to your neighbor, or buy something of your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another:
15 Lè n'ap achte yon tè osinon lè w'ap vann yon tè, se pou nou kalkile pri a sou kantite lanne tè a ka travay anvan lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an rive.
According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy of your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to you:
16 Plis gen lanne anvan lanne rejwisans lan rive, se plis pri a va pi wo. Mwens gen lanne, se plis pri a va pi ba, paske se kantite lanne rekòt tè a ka bay la n'ap vann osinon n'ap achte.
According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell to you.
17 Pa fè lajan sou do moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou. Men, se pou nou gen krentif pou Bondye nou, paske se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
18 Se pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman m' yo. Se pou nou swiv yo, se konsa n'a kapab viv nan peyi a san nou pa bezwen pè anyen.
Why you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 Tè a va bay rekòt li, n'a manje kont nou, epi n'a viv nan peyi a ak kè poze.
And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 Men, gen moun ki va mande kisa y'a manje setyèm lanne a si yo pa plante, si yo pa ranmase rekòt.
And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a voye benediksyon m' sou tè a pandan sizyèm lanne a pou l' ka donnen rekòt kantite pou twazan.
Then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 Konsa, lè wityèm lanne a va rive pou nou plante jaden nou yo, n'a jwenn manje toujou nan ansyen rekòt sizyèm lanne a. N'a gen kont pou nou manje jouk nevyèm lanne a rivè, lè n'a gen pou n' ranmase rekòt wityèm lanne sa a.
And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store.
23 Yon tè pa fèt pou vann pou tout tan, paske tè a pa pou nou, se pou mwen li ye. Nou menm, nou tankou moun lòt peyi ki rete lakay mwen: mwen ban nou dwa sèvi sou tè a.
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for you are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Lè n'ap achte yon tè nan peyi nou an, se pou nou rekonèt dwa ansyen mèt tè a genyen pou l' reachte tè a ankò.
And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 Lè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou vin nan nesesite, epi li blije vann pòsyon tè ki pou li a, fanmi ki pi pre l' la va reachte tè li te vann lan, paske se li ki gen dwa fè sa.
If your brother be waxen poor, and has 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 Men, si yon nonm pa gen fanmi pre pou reachte tè a, epi apre kèk tan zafè l' vin bon ankò, l'a reachte tè a lè l'a gen kont lajan pou sa.
And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 L'a kalkile depi ki tan li te vann tè a, epi l'a renmèt moun ki te achte tè a nan men l' lan lajan ki koresponn ak kantite lanne ki rete anvan lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an, epi l'a reprann tè li.
Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
28 Men, si li pa gen kont kòb pou reachte tè a, tè a va rete nan men moun ki te achte l' la jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, tè a va tounen nan men ansyen mèt li ankò.
But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
29 Si yon nonm vann yon kay ki nan yon bouk ki gen ranpa, li gen yon lanne delè, depi dat li te vann kay la, pou l' reachte l' ankò. Pase yon lanne, li pèdi dwa a.
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 Si li kite tout lanne a pase san li pa reachte kay la, kay la ap rete pou moun ki te achte l' la ak pou pitit pitit li yo. Yo p'ap renmèt li kay la lè lanne rejwisans la rive.
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 jubilee.
31 Men, kay ki nan bouk kote ki pa gen ranpa, y'ap konsidere yo menm jan ak yon jaden. Ansyen mèt la gen dwa reachte l' ankò. Men, tout jan se pou yo renmèt li kay la, lè lanne rejwisans lan rive.
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 jubilee.
32 Moun Levi yo menm ap gen lavil pa yo apa. Yon moun Levi ap toujou gen dwa reachte kay ki te pou li nenpòt kilè.
Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 Si yon moun Levi rive vann yon kay ki nan lavil moun Levi yo, epi li pa reachte l', se pou yo renmèt li kay la lè lanne rejwisans lan rive, paske lè yon moun Levi gen yon kay nan mitan pèp la, kay la pou li nèt.
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 jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 Konsa tou, pou jaden ki tout arebò lavil moun Levi yo, yo pa gen dwa vann li, paske se pou yo li ye pou tout tan.
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 Si yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv toupre lakay nou vin nan nesesite, epi li tonbe nan malsite, se pou nou lonje men ba li tankou nou ta dwe fè l' pou yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap travay lakay nou osinon ki vin fè ladesant lakay nou. Konsa, l'a toujou ka viv bò kote nou.
And if your brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yes, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.
36 Pa fè l' peye ankenn enterè, pa ba l' ponya. Gen krentif pou Bondye. Bay moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou an yon chans pou l' viv tou.
Take you no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.
37 Piga nou mande l' enterè sou lajan nou prete l'. Piga nou ba l' ponya pou manje nou vann li.
You shall not give him your money on usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase.
38 Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou m' te ka ban nou peyi Kanaran an epitou pou m' te ka Bondye nou.
I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 Si yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv toupre lakay nou vin nan nesesite, epi li vann tèt li ban nou pou li sèvi nou esklav, piga nou fè l' fè travay yon domestik.
And if your brother that dwells by you be waxen poor, and be sold to you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 L'ap rete lakay nou tankou moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap travay pou lajan lakay nou. L'a sèvi nou jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an.
But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you to the year of jubilee.
41 Lè sa a, li menm ak tout pitit li yo, y'a kite lakay nou, y'a tounen al jwenn fanmi yo, epi y'a renmèt yo tè zansèt yo te kite pou yo a.
And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 Paske se esklav mwen nou ye, se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo pa gen dwa vann nou pou fè nou sèvi esklav lòt moun.
For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
43 Piga nou aji mal ak moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo. Se pou nou gen krentif pou Bondye nou an.
You shall not rule over him with rigor; but shall fear your God.
44 Lè n'a bezwen gason osinon fi pou sèvi esklav lakay nou, nou ka achte yo nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv lòt bò fwontyè peyi nou an.
Both your slaves, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall you buy slaves and bondmaids.
45 Nou ka achte pitit moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou tou. Konsa tou, lè yo rete lakay nou, si yo fè pitit sou tè ki pou nou, pitit yo va pou nou tou.
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
46 N'a kite yo tankou byen pou pitit nou yo. Y'a sèvi yo jouk yo mouri. Nou pa dwe maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou. Men, se pou nou aji avèk yo tankou frè ak frè.
And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brothers the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with rigor.
47 Sipoze yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou nan peyi a vin gen anpil mwayen epi yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou k'ap viv lakay nou, osinon pre kay moun lòt nasyon an, vin nan nesesite epi l al vann tèt li bay moun lòt nasyon an, osinon bay yonn nan fanmi moun lòt nasyon an pou li sèvi l' esklav.
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
48 Apre li vann tèt li a, l'a toujou gen avantaj moun ka reachte l' pou ba li libète l'. Se bagay yonn nan frè li yo,
After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him:
49 osinon tonton l', osinon pitit gason tonton l' yo, osinon yonn nan fanmi pre li yo ka fè pou li. Si li menm li vin gen mwayen, li ka reachte tèt li tou.
Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50 Dakò ak moun ki te achte l' la, se pou l' konte konbe lanne ki gen depi lanne li te vann tèt li bay moun lan jouk lanne rejwisans k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, l'a kalkile lajan pou l' bay la sou kantite lanne l'a jwenn lan, epi sou pri yo peye lè konsa pou yon moun k'ap travay pou lajan lakay moun.
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51 Lè gen anpil lanne ki rete, l'a kalkile sou yo pou l' konnen valè lajan pou l' renmèt pou l' ka reachte tèt li.
If there be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 Men, si pa gen lanne ki rete anvan lanne rejwisans lan, y'a kalkile ansanm, epi l'a renmèt li lajan dapre kantite lanne ki rete a pou l' ka reachte tèt li.
And if there remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53 Paske l'ap travay ak moun lan tankou domestik k'ap travay pou lajan pa an, ou pa fèt pou kite moun lan maltrete li.
And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight.
54 Si li pa reachte tèt li konsa, lè lanne rejwisans lan rive, ni li menm, ni pitit gason l' yo va lib ankò. Epi y'a kite kay moun lan.
And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
55 Se pou nou swiv regleman sa yo, paske se esklav pa m' moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye. Yo se esklav mwen te fè soti kite peyi Lejip. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
