Firistoci 25
1 Ubangiji ya yi magana da Musa a kan Dutsen Sinai ya ce,
Yahweh said to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain,
2 “Yi wa Isra’ilawa magana, ka ce musu, ‘Sa’ad da kuka shiga ƙasar da zan ba ku, dole ƙasar kanta ta kiyaye Asabbaci ga Ubangiji.
“Tell the Israelis [that I, Yahweh, say this]: When you enter the land that I am about to give you, every seventh year you must honor me by [not planting any seeds. You will be] allowing the ground to rest.
3 Shekara shida, za ku yi shuki, shekara shida kuma za ku aske gonakin inabinku, ku kuma tattara hatsinsu.
For six years you are to plant seeds in your fields and prune your grapevines and harvest the crops.
4 Amma a shekara ta bakwai, ƙasar za tă sami hutun Asabbaci, Asabbaci ga Ubangiji. Kada ku yi shuki a gonakinku, ko kuwa ku aske gonakinku na inabi.
But the seventh/next year you must [dedicate] to me, and allow your fields to rest. Do not plant seeds in your fields or prune your grapevines [during that year].
5 Kada ku girbe abin da ya yi girma ba tare da ku kuka shuka ba, ko ku girbe inabin da ba ku aske ba. Ƙasar za tă kasance da shekarar hutu.
Do not reap [the grain] that grows in your fields without having been planted, or harvest the grapes that grow [without the vines being pruned]; you must allow the land to rest for that one year.
6 Duk abin da gonar ta ba da amfani a shekara ta Asabbaci, zai zama abinci gare ku, wa kanku, bayinku maza da mata, da ma’aikatan da kuka ɗauka aiki, da kuma waɗanda ba zama ɗinɗinɗin suke yi tare da ku ba,
But you are permitted to eat whatever crops grow by themselves during that year without having been planted. You and your male and female servants, and workers whom you have hired, and people who are living among you temporarily are permitted to eat it.
7 haka ma zai zama abinci domin dabbobinku, da kuma namun jeji a ƙasarku. Duk abin da ƙasar ta bayar za a ci.
Also, [during that year] your livestock and the wild animals in your land are permitted to eat it.’
8 “‘Ku ƙirga asabbatai bakwai na shekaru bakwai, sau bakwai. Gama asabbatai bakwai na shekaru bakwai za su yi daidai da shekaru arba’in da tara.
‘Also, after every 49 years has ended, you must do this: (On the tenth day of the seventh month/At the end of September) [of the next/50th year], blow trumpets throughout the country, to declare that it will be a day on which you request that I forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
9 Sa’an nan a busa ƙaho a ko’ina, a rana ta goma ga wata na bakwai; a Ranar Kafara, a busa ƙaho a dukan ƙasarku.
10 Ku keɓe shekara ta hamsin ku kuma yi shelar’yanci a dukan ƙasar ga mazaunanta. Za tă zama shekarar murna gare ku; kowannenku zai koma ga mallakar iyalinsa, kuma kowa ga danginsa.
Set apart that year, and proclaim that throughout the country, it will be a year of restoring the land and freeing people: All the people [who sold their property] will receive back the property that they previously owned, and slaves must be (freed/allowed to return to [their property and] their families).
11 Shekara ta hamsin za tă zama ta murna a gare ku; kada ku yi shuki, kada kuma ku yi girbi abin da ya yi girma da kansa, ko ku girbe inabin da ba ku lura da shi ba.
That year will be a Year of Celebration; [during that year] do not plant anything, and do not harvest [in the usual way] the grain/wheat that grows without having been planted, or the grapes that grow without the vines being pruned.
12 Gama shekara ce ta murna, za tă kuma zama mai tsarki a gare ku, ku dai ci abin da aka ɗauka kai tsaye daga gonaki.
It will be a Year of Celebration, so eat [only] what grows in the fields (by itself/without any work being done to produce anything).
13 “‘A wannan Shekara ta Murna, kowa zai koma ga mallakarsa.
‘In that Year of Celebration, everyone must return to their own property.
14 “‘In ka sayar da gona wa wani daga mutanen ƙasarka, ko ka saya wata gona daga gare shi, kada ku cuci juna.
‘If you sell some of your land to a fellow Israeli or if you buy some land from one of them, you must treat that person fairly:
15 Sa’ad da mutum ya sayi fili daga abokin zamansa, kuɗin zai kasance bisa ga yawan shekara hamsin ta murna da suka wuce, da kuma bisa ga yawan shekarun noma da suka rage kafin wata shekara hamsin ta murna.
If you buy land, the price that you will pay will depend on the number of years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. If someone sells land to you, he will charge a price that is determined by the number of years until the next Year of Celebration.
16 Idan shekarun suna da yawa, sai ku kara kuɗin filin, idan kuma shekarun ba su da yawa, sai ku rage kuɗin filin, gama ainihin abin da ake sayar maka shi ne yawan hatsin.
If there will be many years before the next Year of Celebration, the price will be higher; if there will be only a few years until the next Year of Celebration, the price will be lower. [You could say that] what he is really selling you is the number of crops [which you can harvest before the next Year of Celebration].
17 Kada ku cuci juna, amma ku ji tsoron Allahnku. Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.
Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who am commanding this].
18 “‘Ku bi farillaina, ku kuma yi hankali ga kiyaye dokokina, za ku kuwa zauna lafiya a ƙasar.
‘Obey all my laws [DOU] carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country [DOU].
19 Sa’an nan ƙasar za tă ba da amfaninta, za ku kuwa ci ku ƙoshi, ku kuma zauna lafiya.
And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.
20 Mai yiwuwa ku ce, “Me za mu ci a shekara ta bakwai in ba mu yi shuki ko girbin hatsinmu ba?”
But you may ask, “If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?”
21 Zan aika muku da irin albarka a shekara ta shida har da ƙasar za tă ba da amfani isashe na shekara uku.
[My answer is that] I will bless you very much during the sixth/previous year, with the result that during that year there will be enough crops to provide food for you for three years!
22 Yayinda kuke shuki a shekara ta takwas, za ku kasance da raguwa hatsi na shekarar da ta wuce, za ku kuma ci gaba da ci daga gare shi har girbin shekara ta tara yă shigo.
Then, after you plant seed during the eighth/next year [and wait for the crops to grow], you will eat the food grown in the sixth year, and continue to eat it until more food is harvested in the ninth year!
23 “‘Kada a sayar da gona ɗinɗinɗin, gama ƙasar tawa ce, ku kuwa baƙi ne kawai, kuma’yan haya nawa.
‘You must not sell any of your land to belong to someone else permanently, because the land [is not yours, it]; is really mine, and you are only living on it temporarily and (farming/taking care of) it for me.
24 Ko’ina a ƙasar da kuke da mallaka, dole ku tanadar da dama fansar ƙasar.
Throughout the country that you will possess, you must remember that if someone sells some of his land to you, he is permitted to buy it back from you [if he wants to].
25 “‘In ɗaya daga cikin mutanen ƙasarku ya talauta, ya kuma sayar da mallakarsa, sai danginsa na kusa yă je yă fanshi abin da mutumin ƙasarsa ya sayar.
‘So, if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells some of his property [to obtain some money], the person who is most closely related to him is permitted to come and buy that land for him.
26 In mutumin ba shi da wanda zai fansa masa ita, shi kansa kuwa ya wadace, ya kuma sami isashen halin fansarta,
However, if a man has no one to buy the land for him, and he himself prospers again and saves enough money to buy that land back,
27 sai yă lasafta yawan shekarun da aka yi tun da an sayar da filin. Kuɗin filin zai dangana ga yawan shekarun da suka rage kafin shekara hamsin ta murna da za tă zo; sa’an nan zai iya koma ga mallakarsa.
he must calculate how many years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. Then he must pay to the man who bought the land the money that he would have earned by continuing to grow crops on that land for those years.
28 Amma in bai sami halin sāke biyansa ba, abin nan da ya sayar zai ci gaba da zama mallakar mai sayan, sai Shekara ta Murna. Za a maido masa da ita a Shekara ta Murna, sa’an nan zai iya koma ga mallakarsa.
But if the original owner does not have any money to buy the land that he sold, it will continue to belong to the man who bought it, until the next Year of Celebration. In that year it must be returned to its original owner, and he will be able to live on it again.
29 “‘In mutum ya sayar da gida a birni mai katanga, yana da izini yă fanshe shi a ƙarshen shekara guda, bayan ya sayar da shi.
‘If someone who lives in a city that has a wall around it sells a house there, during the next year he will be permitted to buy it from the man who bought it.
30 In ba a fanshe shi a ƙarshen shekara ba, gidan da yake a birni mai katanga, zai zama mallakar na ɗinɗinɗin na mai sayan da kuma zuriyarsa. Ba za a mai da shi a Shekara ta Murna ba.
If he does not buy it during that year, it will belong permanently to the man who bought it and to his descendants. It must not be returned to the original owner in the Year of Celebration.
31 Amma za a ɗauki gidaje a ƙauyuka marasa katanga kewaye da su daidai da gonaki. Za a iya fanshe su, a kuma mayar da su a Shekara ta Murna.
But houses that are in villages that do not have walls around them are considered to be as though they are in a field. So if someone sells one of those houses, he is permitted to buy it back at any time. And [if he does not buy it], it must be returned to him in the Year of Celebration.
32 “‘Kullum, Lawiyawa suna da izini su fanshi gidajensu a biranen Lawiyawa waɗanda suka mallaka.
‘If any descendants of Levi sell their houses in the towns in which they live, they are permitted to buy them back at any time.
33 Saboda haka ana iya fansa mallakar Lawiyawa, wato, gidan da aka sayar a duk birnin da yake nasu, za a kuma mayar a Shekara ta Murna, gama gidaje a biranen Lawiyawa, mallakar Isra’ilawa ne.
And because the houses in their towns are on land that [was given to them by] other Israelis, that land will become theirs again in the Year of Celebration [if they do not buy it back before then].
34 Amma kada a sayar da filayen kiwo na waɗannan birane; mallakarsu ce, ta ɗinɗinɗin.
But the pastureland near their towns must not be sold. It must belong to the original owners permanently/forever.
35 “‘In ɗaya daga ciki mutanen ƙasarku ya talauta, ba ya kuma iya tallafa wa kansa a cikinku, sai ku taimake shi kamar yadda za ku yi da baƙo a cikinku.
‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and is unable to buy what he needs [IDM], others of you must help him like you would help a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] temporarily.
36 Kada ku karɓi riba ta kowace iri daga gare shi, amma ku ji tsoron Allahnku, saboda mutumin ƙasarku yă ci gaba da zama a cikinku.
[If you lend money to him], do not charge any kind of interest [DOU]. Instead, [show by what you do that you] revere me, your God, and help that man, in order that he will be able to continue to live among you.
37 Kada ku ba shi rancen kuɗi da ruwa, ko ku sayar masa abinci don samun riba.
If you lend him money, do not charge interest; and if you sell food to him, [charge him only what you paid for it]; do not get a profit from it.
38 Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar, don in ba ku ƙasar Kan’ana in kuma zama Allahnku.
[Do not forget that] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God and to give you the land of Canaan, [and I did not charge you for doing that].
39 “‘In ɗaya daga cikin mutanen ƙasarku ya talauta a cikinku, ya kuma sayar da kansa gare ku, kada ku sa yă yi kamar bawa.
‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not force him to work like a slave.
40 Amma a ɗauke shi a matsayin ma’aikacin da aka ɗauka aiki, ko mazaunan da ba na ɗinɗinɗin ba a cikinku, sai yă yi muku aiki sai Shekara ta Murna.
Treat him like you treat workers that you hire or like someone who is living on your land temporarily. But he must work for you [only] until the Year of Celebration.
41 Sa’an nan a sake shi da’ya’yansa, yă kuma koma ga danginsa da mallakar kakanninsa.
During that year, you must free him, and he will go back to his family and to the property that his ancestors owned.
42 Gama Isra’ilawa bayina ne, waɗanda na saya daga Masar, kada a sayar da su a matsayin bayi.
[It is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I [freed from being slaves] in Egypt. So none of you should be sold to become slaves.
43 Kada ku gwada musu azaba, amma ku ji tsoron Allahnku.
And do not treat the Israelis whom you buy cruelly; instead, revere me, your God.
44 “‘Bayinku maza da mata, za su zo daga al’ummai da suke kewaye da ku, daga gare su za ku iya saya bayi.
‘If you want to have slaves, you are permitted to buy them from nearby countries.
45 Za ku iya saya waɗansu mutanen da ba sa zama ɗinɗinɗin a cikinku, da kuma membobin danginsu da aka haifa a ƙasarku.
You are also permitted to buy some of the foreigners who are living among you, and members of their clans that were born in your country. Then you will own them.
46 Za ku iya ba da su ga’ya’yanku a matsayin kayan gādo, za ku kuma iya mai da su bayi dukan rayuwarsu, amma kada ku yi mulki a bisa’yan’uwanku Isra’ilawa da tsanani.
They will be your slaves for the remaining years of your life, and after you die, it is permitted for your children to own them. But you must not act in brutal ways toward your fellow Israelis.
47 “‘In baƙo, ko wani da yake zama ba na ɗinɗinɗin ba a cikinku, ya wadace, ɗaya daga cikin mutanen ƙasarku kuwa ya talauta, ya kuma sayar da kansa ga baƙon da yake zama a cikinku, ko memba na dangin baƙon,
‘If a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] becomes rich, and if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to that foreigner or to a member of his clan/family,
48 yana da izini samun fansa, bayan ya sayar da kansa. Ɗaya daga cikin danginsa zai iya fansarsa.
it is permitted for someone to pay for him to be freed. It is permitted for one of his relatives to pay for him to be released:
49 Kawu ko yaron ɗan’uwan mahaifin wannan mutum, ko kuwa wani dangi a cikin zuriyarsa, zai iya fanshe shi. Ko kuma in ya azurta, zai iya fansar kansa.
An uncle or a cousin or another relative in his clan may pay for him to be released. Or, if he prospers [and gets enough money], he is permitted to pay for his own release.
50 Da shi da mai sayansa, za su ƙirga lokaci daga shekarar da ya sayar da kansa har zuwa Shekara ta Murna. Farashin sakinsa zai dangana a kuɗin da ake biyan ma’aikacin da aka ɗauka aiki, na yawan shekarun ne.
The man who wants to pay for his own release must count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration. The price he pays to the man who bought him will depend on the pay that would be given to a hired worker for that number of years.
51 In shekaru sun ragu, dole yă biya don fansarsa da kuɗi mai yawa fiye da wanda aka saye shi.
If there are a lot of years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay for his release a larger amount of the money.
52 In shekarun sun rage kaɗan ne kafin Shekara ta Murna, sai yă yi lissafin wannan, yă kuma biya fansarsa daidai wa daida.
If there are only a few years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay a smaller amount to be released.
53 Sai a yi da shi kamar ma’aikacin da aka ɗauka aiki, daga shekara zuwa shekara; dole ku tabbata mai shi bai mallake shi da tsanani ba.
During the years that he is working for the man who bought him, the man who bought him must treat him like he would treat a hired worker, and all of you must make sure that his owner does not treat him cruelly.
54 “‘Ko ma ba a fanshe shi a ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan hanyoyi ba, sai a sake shi da’ya’yansa a Shekara ta Murna,
‘And even if a fellow Israeli who has sold himself to a rich man is not able to pay for himself to be freed by any of these ways, he and his children must be freed in the Year of Celebration,
55 gama Isra’ilawa nawa ne a matsayin bayi. Su bayina ne waɗanda na saya daga Masar. Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.
because [it is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I, Yahweh your God, freed from [being slaves in] Egypt.’”
