Levitikosy 25

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy teo an-tendrombohitra Sinay ka nanao hoe:

And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

2 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Rehefa tonga any amin’ ny tany izay omeko anareo ianareo, aoka hisy fitsaharana ho an’ ny tany, dia sabata ho an’ i Jehovah.

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 the LORD.

3 Enin-taona no hamafazanao ny taninao, enin-taona no hanamboaranao ny sahanao sy hanangonanao ny vokatra;

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

4 fa ny taona fahafito kosa ho tena fitsaharana ho an’ ny tany, dia sabata ho an’ i Jehovah; aza mamafy amin’ ny taninao ianao, ary aza mamboatra ny sahanao.

But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

5 Aza mijinja izay maniry ho azy avy tamin’ ny voa nihintsana tamin’ ny fararano lasa, ary aza mioty ny voaloboka avy tamin’ izay tsy namboarinao; fa aoka ho taona fitsaharana ho an’ ny tany izany.

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 Ary izay maniry ho azy amin’ ny sabatan’ ny tany no ho hanina ho anao sy ny ankizilahinao sy ny ankizivavinao sy ny mpikarama sy ny vahiny eo aminao

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 sy ny biby fiompinao ary ny bibidia izay eo amin’ ny taninao; izay vokatra rehetra eo no hohaniny.

And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

8 Ary manisà sabatan-taona fito ho anao, dia fito taona impito, ka ny hanisanao ny andron’ ireo sabatan-taona fito ireo dia sivy amby efa-polo taona.

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 Dia mitsofa anjomara avo feo amin’ ny andro fahafolo amin’ ny volana fahafito; dia amin’ ny andro fanavotana no hitsofanareo anjomara eran’ ny taninareo.

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 Ary hamasino ny taona fahadimam-polo, ka miantsoa fanafahana amin’ ny tany ho an’ ny mponina rehetra ao aminy; Jobily ho anareo izany, ka samia mody any amin’ ny taninareo avy ianareo sy any amin’ ny mpianakavinareo avy.

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 Jobily ho anareo izany taona fahadimam-polo izany; aza mamafy ianareo, ary aza mijinja izay maniry ho azy avy tamin’ ny voa nihintsana tamin’ ny fararano lasa, ary aza mioty ny avy tamin’ izay tsy namboarinareo;

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 fa Jobily izany ka ho masìna ho anareo. Izay vokatra alaina any an-tsaha no hohaninareo.

For it [is] the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

13 Amin’ izany taona Jobily izany dia samy hody amin’ ny taninareo avy ianareo.

In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

14 Ary raha mivarotra na mividy zavatra amin’ ny namanao ianao, aza misy manao sarotra:

And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest [ought] of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

15 araka ny isan’ ny taona aorian’ ny Jobily no hividiananao amin’ ny namanao; ary araka ny isan’ ny fararano no hivarotany aminao.

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 Araka ny hamaron’ ny taona no hampitomboanao ny vidiny, ary araka ny havitsin’ ny taona sisa no hampihenanao ny vidiny; fa araka ny isan’ ny fararano no hivarotany aminao.

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 Ary aza misy manao sarotra ianareo, fa matahora an’ Andriamanitrao; fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.

18 Ary araho ny didiko, ary tandremo ny fitsipiko, ka araho izy; dia handry fahizay amin’ ny tany ianareo.

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

19 Ary ny tany hahavoka-javatra dia hihinana ianareo ka ho voky, ary handry fahizay.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

20 Ary andrao ianareo manao hoe: Inona no hohaninay amin’ ny taona fahafito? fa, indro, tsy mamafy izahay, na manangona ny vokatray;

And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

21 dia hataoko aminareo ny fitahiako amin’ ny taona fahenina, ka hisy vokatra ampy ho anareo amin’ ny telo taona.

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

22 Ary hamafy amin’ ny taona fahavalo ianareo ka hihinana ny tranainy mandra-pahatongan’ ny taona fahasivy; mandra-pahatongan’ ny vao no hihinananareo ny tranainy.

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 Ary ny tany tsy hatao varo-maty, satria Ahy ny tany; fa vahiny sy mpivahiny amiko ianareo.

The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.

24 Ary havelanareo ho azo avotana ny tany eo amin’ ny tany rehetra izay lovanareo.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

25 Raha tàhiny mihamalahelo ny rahalahinao, ka nivarotany ny taniny, dia ho avy ny havany akaiky ka hanavotra izay namidin’ ny rahalahiny.

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 Ary raha tsy manan-kavana hanavotra ralehilahy, nefa nambinina izy ka nahazo izay ampy ho enti-manavotra azy,

And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

27 dia aoka hanisa ny taona hatramin’ ny nivarotany azy izy ka handoa ny hevitry ny taona sisa ho an’ ny lehilahy izay nivarotany azy; ka dia hody amin’ ny taniny izy.

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 Fa raha tsy nahazo izay ampy handoavana izany izy, izay namidiny dia mbola hitoetra eo an-tànan’ ilay nividy azy ihany mandra-pahatongan’ ny taona Jobily; ary ho afaka izany amin’ ny Jobily, ka hody amin’ ny taniny ralehilahy.

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 Ary raha misy olona mivarotra trano itoerana ao amin’ ny tanàna mimanda, dia hahazo manavotra azy izy mandra-pahatapitry ny herintaona nivarotany azy; fa ao anatin’ izany no hahazoany manavotra azy.

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 Fa raha tsy voavotra mandra-pahatapitry ny herintaona kosa ilay trano ao amin’ ny tanàna mimanda, dia tapaka ho varo-maty ho an’ izay nividy azy sy ho an’ ny taranany izany; tsy ho afaka izany na dia amin’ ny Jobily aza.

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 Fa ny trano ao amin’ ny vohitra izay tsy misy manda manodidina kosa dia hatao taha, ka ny tany ihany; ho azo avotana ihany izany, na ho afaka amin’ ny Jobily.

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 Kanefa ny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Levita, ny trano ao amin’ ny tanàna izay ho anjarany dia ho azon’ ny Levita avotana ihany na oviana na oviana.

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

33 Ary raha misy Levita manavotra azy, dia ho afaka amin’ ny Jobily ny trano izay namidy sy ny tanàna izay anjarany; fa ny trano ao an-tanànan’ ny Levita dia lovany ao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

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 Fa ny tany manodidina ny tanànany kosa dia tsy azo hamidy; fa ho lovany mandrakizay izany.

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it [is] their perpetual possession.

35 Ary raha mihamalahelo ny rahalahinao izay miara-monina aminao ka reraka, dia vonjeo izy, ka aoka mba ho velona eo aminao tahaka ny vahiny sy ny mpivahiny izy.

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 Aza maka zana-bola na tombony aminy; fa matahora an’ Andriamanitrao, mba ho velona eo aminao ny rahalahinao.

Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

37 Aza mampanàna vola aminy, ary aza mampisambotra hanina hahazoana tombony:

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

38 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, hanome anareo ny tany Kanana, mba ho Andriamanitrareo.

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 Ary raha mihamalahelo ny rahalahinao ka mivaro-tena aminao, aza ampanompoinao toy ny andevo izy;

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 fà aoka hitoetra eo aminao tahaka ny mpikarama sy tahaka ny vahiny izy; mandra-pahatongan’ ny taona Jobily no hanompoany anao.

[But] as an hired servant, [and] as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:

41 Dia ho afaka izy sy ny zanany ka hody amin’ ny mpianakaviny sy amin’ ny tanin-drazany koa.

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 Fa mpanompoko izay nentiko nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ka tsy hamidy tahaka ny andevo.

For they [are] my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

43 Aza mampanompo azy fatratra, fa matahora an’ Andriamanitrao.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

44 Ary ny amin’ izay ho andevolahinao sy andevovavinao, dia amin’ ny jentilisa izay manodidina anareo no hividiananareo azy.

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 Ary amin’ ny zanaky ny vahiny eo aminareo sy amin’ ny taranany izay haterany eo amin’ ny taninareo no hividiananareo koa; ary dia ho fanananareo izany.

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.

46 Ary hataonareo lovan’ ny zanakareo mandimby anareo izany ho fananana holovany ka hampanompoinareo mandrakizay fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely rahalahinareo dia aza mba ampanompoina fatratra.

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 Ary raha tonga manan-karena ny vahiny izay monina eo aminao na ny mpivahiny, ary ny rahalahinao eo aminy mihamalahelo kosa ka mivaro-tena amin’ ny vahiny eo aminao, na amin’ ny taranaky ny vahiny;

And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:

48 na dia nivaro-tena aza izy, dia azo avotana indray; ny anankiray amin’ ny rahalahiny no mahazo manavotra azy:

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

49 na ny rahalahin-drainy, na ny zanak’ olo-mirahalahy aminy, na izay havany akaiky azy amin’ ny mpianakaviny no mahazo manavotra azy; kanefa raha tratry ny ananany, dia hanavo-tena izy.

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.

50 Ary dia hisainy amin’ izay nividy azy hatramin’ ny taona nivarotana azy ka hatramin’ ny taona Jobily; ary ny vola nivarotany ny tenany dia hoheverina araka ny isan’ ny taona; dia ara-kevitry ny andron’ ny mpikarama no hiheverana azy.

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 Raha mbola maro ny taona sisa, dia ara-keviny ihany no handoavany ny avony avy amin’ ny vola vidiny teo aloha.

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.

52 Any raha vitsy kosa ny taona sisa mandra-pahatongan’ ny taona Jobily, dia hanisa izany aminy izy, ka ara-kevitry ny taona ihany no handoavany ny vola avony.

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 Tahaka izay karamaina isan-taona no hitoerany eo aminy; fa aoka tsy hampanompoina fatratra eo imasonao izy.

[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 Ary raha tsy voavotra amin’ izay izy, dia ho afaka amin’ ny taona Jobily izy sy ny zanany koa.

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.

55 Fa mpanompoko ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia mpanompoko izay nentiko nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

For unto 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.
