Levitikosy 25

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

And the Lord spoke unto Moses on 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 unto 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 shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou 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 there shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath [in honor] of the Lord: thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.

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 shalt thou not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine shalt thou not gather: a year of rest shall it be 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 product of] the sabbath of the land shall be unto you for food, for thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and for thy hired laborer, and for thy stranger, that sojourn 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 beasts that are in thy land, shall all its products be [left] for food.

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 unto thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times; 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.

And then shalt thou cause the sound of the cornet to be heard, in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month: on the day of atonement shall ye sound the cornet 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 freedom throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee 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 jubilee shall this, the fiftieth year, be unto you: ye shall not sow, nor reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather in it the fruit of the undressed vines.

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

For it is the jubilee; holy shall it be unto you: from the field shall ye eat the products thereof.

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

In this year of the jubilee shall ye 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 aught unto thy neighbor, or buy aught of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not overreach one the other;

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 jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbor, according unto the number of harvest-years shall he 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 shalt thou increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years shalt thou diminish the price thereof; for a number of harvests doth he sell unto thee.

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

And ye shall not overreach one the other; but thou shalt be afraid of 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.

And ye shall do my statutes, and my ordinances shall ye keep and do them; and then shall ye 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 its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in safety therein.

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 should say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we are not permitted to sow, and we cannot gather in our harvest:

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

Then will I command my blessing unto you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth a harvest 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 when ye sow in the eighth year, then shall ye eat yet of the old harvest; until the ninth year, until its harvest come in, shall ye eat of the old store.

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

And the land shall not be sold for a permanence [to the purchaser]; for the land is mine; for strangers and sojourners are ye 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 become poor, and sell away some of his possession: then may his nearest of kin come and redeem what his brother hath 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 he acquire the means, sufficient to be able to redeem it himself:

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 reckon the years since his sale, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so shall he 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 his means do not suffice to enable him to restore it to him: then shall that which he hath sold remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of the jubilee; and it shall be freed in the jubilee, 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 shall the time of redemption last till the end of the year of his sale; a full year shall his time of redemption last.

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 expiration of a full year: then shall the house which is in the walled city remain as a permanence to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not become freed in the jubilee.

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 shall have the right of redemption, and they shall become freed in the jubilee.

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.

And [respecting] the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, a perpetual right of redemption shall belong to the Levites.

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 of the Levites redeem something: then shall the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, become freed in the jubilee; 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.

And a field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for a perpetual possession is it unto them.

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 become poor, and fall in decay with thee: then shalt thou assist him, [yea] 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.

Thou shalt not take of him any usury or increase; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: that thy brother may live with thee.

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

Thy money shalt thou not give him 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, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give unto you the land of Canaan, to be unto you a God.

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

And if thy brother become poor near thee, and be sold unto thee: thou shalt not compel him to work as a bond-servant.

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

But as a hired laborer, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of the jubilee shall he serve with thee:

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, he and his children with him; and he 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 my servants are they, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bond-men are sold.

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

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but thou shalt have fear of thy God.

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

But thy bond-man, and thy bond-woman that shall remain thine, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them may ye buy bond-man and bond-woman.

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.

And also of the children of the strangers that sojourn with you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they shall remain to you as a 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 may transfer them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; you may hold them to service for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel, one over the other, ye shall not rule with rigor.

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 stranger or sojourner wax rich near thee, and thy brother become poor near him, and he sell himself unto the sojourning stranger near thee, or to a descendant of a stranger's family:

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

After he hath sold himself shall he have the right of redemption; 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 near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he obtain the means, 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 sold himself to him unto the year of the jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, as the time of a hired laborer shall he have been 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, according to them shall he return the price of his redemption out of his purchase-money.

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 the jubilee: then shall he reckon with him; according to his years shall he return the price of his redemption.

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

As a laborer hired from year to year shall he be with him; he shall not rule over him with rigor before thy eyes.

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 by [one of] these means: then shall he go out in the year of the jubilee, 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 are the children of Israel servants, my servants are they, whom I have brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Eternal your God.
