Levitikosy 25
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè ambohi-Sinay añe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo, le ano ty hoe: Ie mimoak’ an-tane hatoloko anahareo ao le hambena’ i taney ty fitofàñe am’ Iehovà.
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you come into the land that I give you, then the land must be made to keep a Sabbath for Yahweh.
3 Enen-taoñe ty hitongisa’o ami’ty tete’o, naho enen-taoñe ty hañetefa’o o valobo’oo vaho ty hanontoña’o ty voka’e,
You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.
4 fe ho Sabata àñom-pitofà’ i taney i taom-pahafitoy, Sabata am’ Iehovà. Tsy hitongisa’o ty tete’o ndra hetefa’o o valobo’oo.
But in the seventh year, a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land must be observed, a Sabbath for Yahweh. You must not plant your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Tsy ho tataheñe o misonjoñeo naho fa afake ty fitataha’o, le tsy hatontoñe ze valoboke mitiry amo vahe tsy nañetefañeo, amy t’ie taom-pitofàñe heneke ho a i taney.
You must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grows by itself, and you must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grapes grow on your unpruned vines. This will be a year of solemn rest for the land.
6 Fe ho fikama’ areo ty voka’ i fitofà’ i taneiy, ihe naho ty mpitoro’o lahy naho ty mpitoro’o ampela, naho ty mpièke, naho ty renetane mañialo ama’o,
Whatever the unworked land grows during the Sabbath year will be food for you. You, your male and female servants, your hired servants and the foreigners who live with you may gather food,
7 vaho hihinana’ o hare’oo naho ze biby lý an-tane’o ao ze hene voka’e.
and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.
8 Mañiaha taom-pitofàñe fito ho azo, fito taoñe atombo fito; le ty fitontoña’ i taom-pitofàñe fito rey ro mañomey efa-polo siv’amby taoñe.
You must count off seven Sabbaths of years, that is, seven times seven years, so that there will be seven Sabbaths of years, totaling forty-nine years.
9 Ie amy zay, ampipopoeñe antsiva-paniahiañe ty andro faha-folo’ i volam-pahafitoy, i andro fijebañañey, le ho tsitsihe’ areo fipopòn’ antsiva ty tane’ areo.
Then you must blow a loud trumpet everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you must blow a trumpet throughout all your land.
10 Le ampiambaho i taom-paha limampoloy naho tsitsiho koim-pidadàñe i taney, amo mpimoneñe ama’e iabio. Ho Jobily ama’ areo, sindre himpoly amo fanaña’eo, songa himpoly aman-dongo’e.
You must set apart the fiftieth year to Yahweh and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a Jubilee for you, in which property and slaves must be returned to their families.
11 Jobily ho anahareo i taom-paha-limampoloy: tsy hitongy ama’e, le tsy ho tatahe’ areo ze sonjo’e vaho tsy hatonto’o ze am-bahe tsy hineteke,
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. You must not plant or conduct an organized harvest. Eat whatever grows by itself, and gather the grapes that grow on the unpruned vines.
12 amy te Jobily, le hiavake ho anahareo izay; ho kamae’ areo ze mipike an-tetek’ ao.
For it is a Jubilee, which will be holy for you. You must eat the produce that grows by itself out of the fields.
13 Songa hibalik’ amy lova’ey amy taon-Jobiliy nahareo.
You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.
14 Aa ie mandetake inoñ’inoñe am’ ondatio ndra mikalo am-pità’ ondaty, le asoao tsy hifampikatramo.
If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong each other.
15 Ty ami’ ty ia’ o taoñe manonjohy i Jobilio ty ho vilie’o am’ondatio le ty ami’ty ia’ o taom-pamokarañe sisao ty handetaha’e.
If you buy land from your neighbor, consider the number of years and crops that can be harvested until the next Jubilee. Your neighbor selling the land must consider that also.
16 Ty ami’ty hamaro’ o taoñeo ty hañonjona’o ty vili’e vaho ami’ty hatsiampe’ o taoñeo ty hampiketraha’o ty vili’e; ty ia’ o fitatahañeo ro haleta’e ama’o.
A larger number of years until the next Jubilee will increase the value of land, and a smaller number of years until the next Jubilee will decrease the value, because the number of harvests the land will produce for the new owner is related to the number of years before the next Jubilee.
17 Aa le ko mifamorekeke, fa i Andrianañahare’o ro hañeveña’o; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
18 Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo naho oriho aman-dili-po o fepèkoo, vaho hiaiñ’ añoleñañe amy taney nahareo,
Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.
19 le ho toly ty sabo’ i taney naho ho anjam-pikamañe nahareo vaho himoneñe ao tsy aman’ ore.
The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.
20 Aa naho hanoa’areo ty hoe, Ino ty ho hane’ay amy taom-pahafitoy, zahay tsy hitongy, tsy hanontoñe an-driha?
You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”
21 Fa ho lilieko ho anahareo ty fanintsiñako amy taom-paha-eneñey, hanataha’ areo ty mahakama tsahatse telo taoñe.
I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.
22 Ie hitongy ami’ty taom-paha-valo, le ho kamae’ areo ty voka’e nivokats’ ela; pak’ amy taom-pahasivey, ampara’ i fitatahañe ama’ey, ty hikama’ areo i elay.
You will plant in the eighth year and continue to eat from the previous years' produce and the stored food. Until the harvest of the ninth year comes in, you will be able to eat from the provisions stored in the previous years.
23 Tsy haletake ho nainai’e i taney amy te ahiko o taneo; mpañialo naho renetane amako nahareo.
The land must not be sold to a new permanent owner, because the land is mine. You are all foreigners and temporary residents on my land.
24 Aa ty amo hene tanem-panaña’ areoo, añajào ty hijebañañe aze.
You must observe the right of redemption for all the land that you acquire; you must allow the land to be bought back by the family from whom you bought it.
25 Ie mifotsak’ an-kararahañe ty longo’o naho mandetake i hanaña’ey, le homb’eo ty longo’e marine aze, hijebañe i tane naletan-dongo’ey.
If your fellow Israelite became poor and for that reason sold some of his property, then his nearest relative may come and buy back the property that he sold to you.
26 Aa naho tsy amam-pijebañe t’indaty, fe am-pahimbañam-pità’e ro mahatontoñe ty hijebaña’e,
If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,
27 le hiahe’e o taoñe mifototse amy nandetaha’e azeio, le havaha’e amy nivily azey ty tsi’ri’e amo tao’eo vaho hibalik’ amy fanaña’ey re.
then he may calculate the years since the land was sold and repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it. Then he may return to his own property.
28 Aa naho tsy lefe’e ty hañitia’e fitàñe hahaeneñe ty hampibalihañe aze le hidok’ am-pità’ i nikalo azey i naletakey ampara’ ty Taon-Jobily; havotsotse amy Jobiliy izay le himpolia’e i fanaña’ey.
But if he is not able to get the land back for himself, then the land he has sold will remain in the ownership of the one who bought it until the year of Jubilee. At the year of Jubilee, the land will be returned to the man who sold it, and the original owner will return to his property.
29 Aa naho aleta’ t’indaty ty anjomba-pimoneñañe an-drova finahetse ao le azo’e jebañeñe i anjombay añate’ ty taoñe mifototse amy nandetahañe azey; taoñe raike do’e ty mete hijebañañe aze.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may buy it back within a whole year after it was sold. For a full year he will have the right of redemption.
30 F’ie tsy jebañe’e añate’ ty taoñe raike le mijadoñe ho fanaña’ i nikalo azey nainai’e pak’ añ’ afeafe’e i anjomba an-drova mifahetsey. Ie tsy havotsotse amo Jobilio.
If the house is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city will become the permanent property of the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the year of Jubilee.
31 Fe ty anjomba tsy mifahetse ro volilieñe manahake o tetekeo: azo jebañeñe izay vaho havotsotse ami’ty Jobily.
But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them will be considered as the field of the land. They may be redeemed, and they must be returned during the year of Jubilee.
32 Fe ty amo rova’ o nte-Levio, toe manan-jo nainai’e o nte-Levio hijebañe o anjomba an-drovam-panaña’ iareoo.
However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed at any time.
33 Aa naho mivily anjomba amo nte-Levio t’indaty, le i anjomba naletak’ an-drova ao ho vara’ey ro havotso’e amy Jobiliy; amy te fanaña’ i nte-Leviý añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ze anjomba’e an-drova’ o nte-Levio.
If one of the Levites does not redeem a house he sold, then the house that was sold in the city where it is located must be returned in the year of Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their property among the people of Israel.
34 Fe tsy azo aletake o tanem-piandrazañe mañohoke o rova’ iareoo, amy t’ie fanaña’ iareo nainai’e.
But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.
35 Aa naho mivariñ’ an-tsotry ty longo’o vaho moly ama’o, rambeso himoneñe ama’o manahake t’ie renetane ndra mpañialo.
If your fellow countryman becomes poor, so that he can no longer provide for himself, then you must help him as you would help a foreigner or anyone else living as an outsider among you.
36 Ko angala’o anan-tsongo ndra ampandivà’o, fe añeveño t’i Andrianañahare’o, le angao himoneña’e.
Do not charge him interest or try to profit from him in any way, but honor your God so that your brother may keep living with you.
37 Ko ampisongoen-drala hangala’o ana’e vaho ko ampanovoñe’o aze ze hanton-karo’e.
You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.
38 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime añe hitolorako i tane Kanàney, vaho ho Andrianañahare’ areo.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, in order that I might give you the land of Canaan, and that I might be your God.
39 Aa naho mifotsak’ an-kasotriañe ty longo’o ama’o, hera havili’e ama’o ty fiai’e, ko ampitoroñe’o hoe ondevo.
If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.
40 Hoe mpikarama naho mpañialo ty hitraofa’e, hitoroñe ampara’ ty taon-Jobily;
Treat him as a hired servant. He must be like someone living temporarily with you. He will serve with you until the year of Jubilee.
41 ie amy zay ro hieng’ azo rekets’ o keleia’eo, himpoly mb’ aman-drolongo’e mb’eo, mb’am-panañan-droae’e añe.
Then he will go away from you, he and his children with him, and he will return to his own family and to his fathers' property.
42 Ahiko iereo, mpitoroko nampiavoteko an-tane Mitsraime añe; tsy haletake ho ondevo.
For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.
43 Ko silofe’o ami’ty famehea’o aze, fe añeveño t’i Andrianañahare’o.
You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.
44 Aa ty am’ ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela fanaña’oo; le boak’ amo fifeheañe mañohokeo ty ivilia’ areo ondevo.
As for your male and female slaves, whom you can obtain from the nations who live around you, you may buy slaves from them.
45 Azo’ areo vilieñe ka ty anan-drenetane mañialo ama’ areo, naho amo hasavereña’ iareo nisamak’ an-tane’ areoo; mete ho fanaña’ areo ka iereo.
You may also buy slaves from the foreigners who are living among you, that is, from their families who are with you, children who have been born in your land. They may become your property.
46 Azo’ areo ampandovaeñe amo ana’ areo mandimbeo ho fanaña’e, ho ondevo’ areo nainai’e. Fe o longo’ areo ana’ Israeleo, le tsy ho fehe’ ty raike ty raike am-pisengean-kery.
You may provide such slaves as an inheritance for your children after you, to hold as property, and make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your brothers among the people of Israel with harshness.
47 Aa naho miraorao ty renetane ndra ty mpañialo ama’o, le ie mivariñ’ an-tsotry ty longo’o marine aze vaho mandeta vatañe ke amy renetaney he amy mpañialo ama’oy, hera ami’ty tarira’ i ambahiniy,
If a foreigner or someone living temporarily with you has become wealthy, and if one of your fellow Israelites has become poor and sells himself to that foreigner, or to someone in a foreigner's family,
48 ie naletake ro mete jebañeñe. Hijebañe aze ty raik’ amo rahalahi’eo;
after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family may redeem him.
49 mete hijebañ’aze ka i rahalahin-drae’ey ndra i ana-drahalahin-drae’ey; ndra ze amy fifokoa’ey ty hijebañe aze; he ie miraorao ro hahaava-piaiñe.
It might be the person's uncle, or his uncle's son, who redeems him, or anyone who is his close relative from his family. Or, if he has become prosperous, he may redeem himself.
50 Ty hifamolilia’e amy nivily azey, le boak’ amy taoñe nandetaha’e vatañey pak’amy Jobiliy; ty amo taoñeo ty vilin’ aim-pijebañañe aze; ampiraeñe ami’ty taom-pikarama i nitraofa’ey.
He must bargain with the man who bought him; they must count the years from the year he sold himself to his purchaser until the year of Jubilee. The price of his redemption must be figured in keeping with the rate paid to a hired servant, for the number of years he might continue to work for the one who bought him.
51 Ie mbe maro taoñe ty añe, le izay ty añavaha’e ty vilin’ ai’e amy drala nikaloañe azey;
If there are still many years until the year of Jubilee, he must pay back as the price for his redemption an amount of money that is in proportion to the number of those years.
52 ie tsy ampe ty taoñe pak’ amy taon-Jobiliy le inao ty hamoliliañe iareo roe: ty amo tao’eo ty añavahañe ty vilin’ai’e.
If there are only a few years to the year of Jubilee, then he must bargain with his purchaser to reflect the number of years left before the year of Jubilee, and he must pay for his redemption in keeping with the number of years.
53 Ho ama’e re manahake ty mpikarama mpitoloñe taoñ’ an-taoñe; tsy hisengean-kery am-pahaisaha’o.
He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.
54 Aa naho tsy jebañeñe amy hoe zay, mbe hienga avao amy taon-Jobiliy, ie rekets’ o keleia’eo.
If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
55 Ahiko o ana’ Israeleo; mpitoroko nakareko an-tane Mitsraime añe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
To me the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
