Levitikosy 25

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

And YHWH speaks to 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 to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, then the land has kept a Sabbath to YHWH.

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

[For] six years you sow your field, and [for] six years you prune your vineyard, and have gathered its increase,

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.

and in the seventh year is a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH; you do not sow your field, and you do not prune your 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.

you do not reap the spontaneous growth of your harvest, and you do not gather the grapes of your separated thing; it is a year of rest for 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 [increase] of the land has been for you for food, to you, and to your manservant, and to your handmaid, and to your hired worker, and to your settler, who are sojourning with you;

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

and for your livestock, and for the beast which [is] in your land, is all its increase for [them] to eat.

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 you have numbered seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven Sabbaths of years have been forty-nine years for you,

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 you have caused a horn of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; in the Day of Atonements you cause a horn to pass over through 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 you have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and you have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it is a Jubilee for you; and you have turned back each to his possession; indeed, you return each to 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;

It [is] a Jubilee, the fiftieth year, it is a year for you; you do not sow, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;

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

for it [is] a Jubilee—it is holy to you; you eat its increase from the field;

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

you return each to his possession in this Year of the Jubilee.

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

And when you sell anything to your fellow, or buy from the hand of your fellow, you do 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.

you buy from your fellow by the number of years after the Jubilee; he sells to you by the number of the years of increase;

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.

you multiply its price according to the multitude of the years, and you diminish its price according to the fewness of the years; for [it is] a number of increases [that] he is selling to you;

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

and you do not oppress one another, and you have been afraid of your God; for I [am] your God YHWH.

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

And you have done My statutes, and you keep My judgments, and have done them, and you have dwelt on the land confidently,

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

and the land has given its fruit, and you have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.

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

And when you say, What do we eat in the seventh year, behold, do we not sow, nor gather our increase?

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

Then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it has made the increase 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 you have sown [in] the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; you eat the old until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase.

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

And the land is not sold—to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for you [are] sojourners and settlers 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 you give 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.

When your brother becomes poor, and has sold his possession, then his redeemer who is near to him has come, and he has redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

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

and when a man has no redeemer, and his own hand has attained [means], and he has found [it] as sufficient [for] its redemption,

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 he has reckoned the years of its sale, and has given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he has returned to 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.

And if his hand has not found sufficiency to give back to him, then his sold thing has been in the hand of him who buys it until the Year of Jubilee; and it has gone out in the Jubilee, and he has returned to 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 when a man sells a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then his right of redemption has been until the completion of a year from its selling; his right of redemption is [during these] days;

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 is not redeemed to him until the fullness of a perfect year, then the house which [is] in a walled city has been established to extinction to him buying it, throughout his generations; it does not go out 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.

And a house of the villages which have no surrounding wall is reckoned on the field of the country; there is redemption for it, and it goes out 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.

As for cities of the Levites—houses of the cities of their possession—continuous redemption is for 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.

as for him who redeems from the Levites, then the sale of a house (and [in] the city of his possession) has gone out in the Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.

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

And a field, a outskirt of their cities, is not sold; for it [is] a continuous possession for 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 when your brother has become poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you have kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he has lived with you;

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

you take no usury or increase from him; and you have been afraid of your God; and your brother has lived with you;

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

you do not give your money to him in usury, and you do not give your food 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt to give the land of Canaan to you, to become your God.

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

And when your brother becomes poor with you, and he has been sold to you, you do not lay servile service on him;

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

he is as a hired worker [and] as a settler with you; he serves with you until the Year of the Jubilee—

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

then he has gone out from you, he and his sons with him, and has turned back to his family; and he turns back to the possession of his fathers.

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

For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;

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

you do not rule over him with rigor, and you have been afraid of your God.

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

And your manservant and your handmaid whom you have [are] from the nations who [are] around you; you buy manservant and handmaid from them,

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 from the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, you buy from them, and from their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for 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 you have taken them for an inheritance for your sons after you, to inherit [for] a possession; you lay service on them for all time, but on your brothers, the sons of Israel, each with his brother—you do not rule over him 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 when the hand of a sojourner or settler with you attains [riches], and your brother with him has become poor, and he has been sold to a sojourner, a settler with you, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

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

after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption for him; one of his brothers redeems 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.

or his uncle or a son of his uncle redeems him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, redeems him, or [if] his own hand has attained [means] then he has been redeemed.

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 has reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him until the Year of Jubilee, and the money of his sale has been by the number of years; it is with him as the days of a hired worker.

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

If many years still [remain], he gives back his redemption [money] according to them, from the money of his purchase.

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 few are left of the years until the Year of Jubilee, then he has reckoned with him [and] he gives back his redemption [money] according to his years;

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

as a hired worker, year by year, he is with him, and he does not rule him with rigor before your eyes.

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

And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he has gone out in the Year of Jubilee, he and his sons with him.

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

For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me; they [are] My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.”
