Levitico 25
1 Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises idiay Bantay Sinai, imbagana,
Yahweh said to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain,
2 “Agsaoka kadagiti Israelita ket ibagam kadakuada, 'Inton mapankayo iti daga nga itedko kadakayo, ket masapul nga paginanaen ti daga tapno ngilinen ti Aldaw a Panaginana para kenni Yahweh.
“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 Masapul a mulaanyo ti taltalonyo iti las-ud iti innem a tawen, ken iti las-ud iti innem a tawen ket masapul nga arbasanyo ti kaubasanyo ken apitenyo ti bungada.
For six years you are to plant seeds in your fields and prune your grapevines and harvest the crops.
4 Ngem iti maikapito a tawen, masapul a mangilin ti natalna a Panaginana ti daga, maysa a Panaginana para kenni Yahweh. Masapul a saanyo a mulaan dagiti taltalonyo wenno arbasan ti kaubasanyo.
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 Masapul a saanyo nga ipaapit dagiti aniaman a nagtubo lattan, ket masapul a saanyo nga ipaapit dagiti aniaman nga ubas a nagtubo kadagiti saanyo a naarbasan a lanut. Tawen daytoy iti natalna a panaginana para iti daga.
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 Aniaman nga agtubo iti saan a nataripato a daga kabayatan ti Tawen a Panaginana ket taraon para kadakayo. Dakayo, dagiti lallaki ken babbai nga adipenyo, dagiti matangtangdanan nga adipenyo ken dagiti ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakayo ket mabalin nga agapit iti taraon.
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 Ken dagiti dingwenyo ken dagiti atap nga ayup ket mabalin a mangan iti aniaman kadagiti ibunga iti daga.
Also, [during that year] your livestock and the wild animals in your land are permitted to eat it.’
8 Masapul a mangbilangkayo iti pito a Tawen a Panaginana, dayta ket, mamimpito a sagpipito a tawen, tapno addanto iti pito a tawen a Panaginana, nga agdagup iti 49 a tawen.
‘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 Kalpasanna, masapul a puyotanyo iti napigsa ti trumpeta iti sadinoman iti maikasangapulo nga aldaw iti maikapito a bulan. Iti Aldaw ti Pannakapakawan ti basol ket masapul a puyotanyo ti trumpeta iti entero a dagayo.
10 Masapul nga idatonyo ti maikalimapulo a tawen kenni Yahweh ken iwaragawagyo ti pannakawayawaya iti entero a daga kadagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy. Daytoy ket Tawen ti Panagisubli para kadakayo, a dagiti sanikua ken dagiti tagabu ket masapul a maisubli kadagiti pamiliada.
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 Ti maikalimapulo a tawen ket Tawen ti Panagisubli para kadakayo. Masapul a saankayo nga agmula wenno agapit. Kanenyo ti aniaman a nagtubo lattan, ken apitenyo dagiti ubas a nagtubo kadagiti saan a naarbasan a lanut.
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 Ta Tawen ti Panagisubli daytoy, nga agbalinto a nasantoan para kadakayo. Masapul a kanenyo dagiti bunga dagiti nagtubo lattan kadagiti taltalonyo.
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 Masapul nga isubliyo iti tunggal maysa ti bukodna a sanikua iti daytoy a Tawen ti Panagisubli.
‘In that Year of Celebration, everyone must return to their own property.
14 No aglakokayo iti aniaman a daga iti kaarrubayo wenno gumatangkayo iti daga iti kaarrubayo, saanyo a sauren wenno pagaramidan iti dakes ti tunggal maysa.
‘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 No gumatangkayo iti daga iti kaarrubayo, bilangenyo dagiti tawen ken dagiti mula a mabalin a maapit agingga iti sumaruno a Tawen ti Panagisubli. Masapul a panunoten met dayta ti kaarrubayo nga agilaklako iti daga.
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 Ti ad-adu a bilang iti tawen agingga iti sumaruno a Tawen ti Panagisubli ket panginaenna ti gatad ti daga, ken ti basbassit a bilang dagiti tawen agingga iti sumaruno a Tawen ti Panagisubli ket palakaenna ti gatad daytoy, gapu ta ti bilang dagiti maapit manipud iti daga para iti baro nga akinkukua ket mainaig iti bilang dagiti tawen sakbay iti sumaruno a Tawen ti Panagisubli.
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 Masapul a saanyo a sauren wenno pagaramidan iti dakes ti tunggal maysa; ngem ketdi, masapul a raemenyo ti Diosyo, ta Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who am commanding this].
18 Ngarud, masapul nga agtulnogkayo kadagiti bilbilinko, salimetmetanyo dagiti lintegko, ken tungpalenyo dagitoy. Ket agbiagkayonto a sitatalged iti daga.
‘Obey all my laws [DOU] carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country [DOU].
19 Pataudento ti daga dagiti bungana, ken mapnekayonto a mangen ket agbiagkayo sadiay a sitatalged.
And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.
20 Nalabit nga ibagayo, “Anianto ti kanenmi iti maikapito a tawen? Kitaem, saankami a makamula wenno makaapit.”
But you may ask, “If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?”
21 Ibaonkonto ti bendissionko kadakayo iti maikanem a tawen, ket mangipaayto daytoy iti umdas nga apit para iti tallo a tawen.
[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 Agmulakayonto iti maikawalo a tawen ket agtultuloykayonto a mangan manipud kadagiti bunga iti napalabas a tawen ken ti naipenpen a taraon. Agingga a dumteng ti panagaapit iti maikasiam a tawen, mabalinkayonto a mangan manipud kadagiti taraon a naipenpen kadagiti napalabas a tawen.
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 Masapul a saan a mailako ti daga iti baro a mangtagikua iti daytoy nga agnanayon, gapu ta kukuak ti daga. Ganggannaetkayo amin ken saankayo nga agnanayon nga agnaed iti dagak.
‘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 Masapul a bigbigenyo ti kalintegan ti panangsubbot iti amin a daga a magun-odyo; masapul nga palubosanyo ti daga a gatangen met laeng ti pamilia a nanggatanganyo iti daytoy.
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 No pimmanglaw ti padayo nga Israelita, ket gapu iti dayta, inlakona ti sumagmamano a sanikuana, ket mabalin nga umay ti kaasetgan a kabagianna ket gatangenna met laeng ti sanikua nga inlakona kadakayo.
‘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 No awan ti kabagian ti maysa a tao a mangsubbot iti sanikuana, ngem no rimmang-ay isuna ket kabaelannan a subboten daytoy,
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 mabalinna ngarud a bilangen dagiti tawen manipud idi nailako ti daga ket bayadanna ti udina iti tao a nangilakoanna iti daytoy. Ket mabalinnan ti agsubli iti bukodna a sanikua.
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 Ngem no saanna a kabaelan a sublien ti dagana, ket agtalinaed ti daga nga inlakona a kukua ti gimmatang agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli. Iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, maisublinto ti daga iti tao a nangilako iti daytoy, ket agsublinto ti sigud nga akinkukua iti sanikuana.
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 No ilako ti maysa a tao ti balay nga adda iti napaderan a siudad, ket mabalinna met laeng a gatangen daytoy iti las-ud iti maysa a tawen kalpasan a nailako daytoy. Adda karbenganna a mangsubbot iti daytoy iti las-ud iti makatawen.
‘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 No saan a masubbot ti balay iti las-ud iti makatawen, ti balay nga adda iti napaderan a siudad ket agbalinto nga agnanayon a sanikua ti tao a gimmatang iti daytoy, agingga iti henerasion dagiti kaputotanna. Saanto a maisubli dayta a balay iti Tawen ti Panagisubli.
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 Ngem dagiti babbalay kadagiti barbarrio nga awan iti pader iti aglawlawda ket maibilang a sanikua a kasla kadagiti taltalon iti pagilian. Mabalin met laeng a gatangen dagitoy, ken masapul a maisubli dagitoy iti tawen ti panagisubli.
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 Nupay kasta, dagiti babbalay a kukua dagiti Levita kadagiti siudadda ket mabalin a subboten iti aniaman a tiempo.
‘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 No saan a subboten ti maysa a Levita ti balay nga inlakona, ket masapul a maisubli ti balay a nailako a masarakan iti siudad iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, ta dagiti babbalay kadagiti siudad dagiti Levita ket sanikuada manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
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 Ngem dagiti taltalon iti aglawlaw dagiti siudadda ket saan a mabalin a mailako gapu ta agnanayon a sanikua dagiti Levita dagitoy.
But the pastureland near their towns must not be sold. It must belong to the original owners permanently/forever.
35 No pumanglaw ti padayo nga umili, ket saannan a kabaelan a biagen ti bagina, ket masapul a tulonganyo isuna a kas iti panangtulongyo iti maysa a ganggannaet wenno siasinoman a makipagnanaed kadakayo a kas ganggannaet.
‘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 Saanyo a paanakan ti impabulodyo kenkuana wenno padasen a pagganansiaan isuna iti aniaman a wagas, ngem raemenyo ti Diosyo tapno makapagtultuloy a makipagnaed ti kabsatyo kadakayo.
[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 Saanyo isuna a pautangan iti kuarta ken paanakanyo daytoy, wenno lakoan isuna iti taraonyo tapno agganansiakayo.
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 Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a nangiruar kadakayo iti daga ti Egipto, tapno maitedko kadakayo ti daga ti Canaan, ken tapno agbalinak a Diosyo.
[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 No pumanglaw ti padayo nga umili ket ilakona ti bagina kadakayo, masapul a saanyo isuna a pagtrabahoen a kasla maysa a tagabu.
‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not force him to work like a slave.
40 Tratoenyo isuna a kas maysa a matangtangdanan nga adipen. Masapul a kasla maysa isuna a tao a saan nga agnanayon a makipagnanaed kadakayo. Agserbinto isuna kadakayo agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli.
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 Ket panawannakayonto, a kaduana dagiti annakna, ket agsublinto isuna iti bukodna a pamilia ken iti sanikua dagiti ammana.
During that year, you must free him, and he will go back to his family and to the property that his ancestors owned.
42 Ta isuda dagiti adipenko nga inruarko iti daga ti Egipto. Saanda a mailako a kas kadagiti tagabu.
[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 Masapul a saankayo nga agturay kadakuada a siraranggas, ngem masapul a raemenyo ti Diosyo.
And do not treat the Israelis whom you buy cruelly; instead, revere me, your God.
44 Para kadagiti tagabuyo a lallaki ken babbai, a mabalinyo nga alaen manipud kadagiti nasion nga agnanaed iti aglawlawyo, mabalinyo ti gumatang kadagiti tagabu manipud kadakuada.
‘If you want to have slaves, you are permitted to buy them from nearby countries.
45 Mabalinyo met ti gumatang kadagiti tagabu manipud kadagiti ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakayo, dayta ket manipud kadagiti pamiliada nga adda kadakayo, dagiti ubbing a naiyanak iti dagayo. Mabalinyo ida a tagikuaen.
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 Mabalinyo iti mangipaay kadagiti kasta a tagabu a kas tawid para kadagiti annakyo a tagikuaenda inton mataykayo. Mabalinyo ti gumatang a kanayon manipud kadakuada kadagiti tagabuyo, ngem masapul a saankayo nga agturay a siraranggas kadagiti kakabsatyo nga Israelita.
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 No bumaknang ti ganggannaet wenno ti maysa a tao a saan nga agnanayon a makipagnanaed kadakayo, ken no pumanglaw ti maysa kadagiti padayo nga Israelita ket ilakona ti bagina iti dayta a ganggannaet, wenno iti maysa iti kameng ti pamilia ti ganggannaet,
‘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 kalpasan a nagatang ti padayo nga Israelita, mabalin met laeng isuna a gatangen. Mabalin isuna a subboten ti maysa kadagiti kameng iti pamiliana.
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 Mabalin a ti ulitegna, wenno ti anak a lalaki ti ulitegna, ti mangsubbot kenkuana, wenno siasinoman nga asideg a kabagianna manipud iti pamiliana. Wenno, no rimmamng-ay isuna, mabalinna a subboten ti bagina.
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 Masapul a makiuman isuna iti tao a gimmatang kenkuana; masapul a bilangenda dagiti tawen manipud iti tawen nga inlakona ti bagina iti gimmatang kenkuana agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli. Ti gatad iti pannakasubbotna ket masapul a mabilang segun iti tangdan ti matangtangdanan nga adipen, para iti bilang dagiti tawen a mabalin nga ituloyna ti panagtrabahona iti gimmatang kenkuana.
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 No adu pay ti tawen agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, masapul nga agbayad isuna para iti pannakasubbotna iti gatad iti kuarta a kaibatugan iti bilang dagidiay a tawen.
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 No adda laeng iti bassit a tawtawen agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, masapul ngarud a makiuman isuna iti gimmatang kenkuana tapno bilangenda dagiti nabati a tawtawen sakbay iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, ket masapul a bayadanna ti pannakasubbotna segun iti bilang dagiti tawen.
If there are only a few years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay a smaller amount to be released.
53 Masapul a matrato isuna a kasla maysa a matangtangdanan a tao iti tunggal tawen. Masapul a siguraduenyo a saan a naranggas ti pannakatratona.
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 No saan a masubbot isuna babaen kadagitoy a wagas, ket masapul ngarud nga agserbi isuna agingga iti Tawen ti Panagisubli, isuna ken dagiti annakna a kaduana.
‘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 Para kaniak, dagiti Israelita ket adipen. Isuda dagiti adipenko nga inruarko manipud iti daga ti Egipto. Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.'”
because [it is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I, Yahweh your God, freed from [being slaves in] Egypt.’”
