Rewitikuha 25
1 Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i Maunga Hinai, i mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e hoatu e ahau ki a koutou, na ka whakahapati te whenua i tetahi hapati ki a Ihowa.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.
3 E ono nga tau e whakatongia ai e koe tau mara, e ono hoki nga tau e tapatapahia ai e koe tau mara waina, e kohia ai hoki ona hua;
Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:
4 Ko te whitu ia o nga tau hei hapati okiokinga mo te whenua, hei hapati ki a Ihowa: kaua e whakatongia tau mara, e tapatapahia ranei tau mara waina.
But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 Kaua e kotia te mea i tupu noa ake i tera kotinga au, kaua ano e whakiia nga karepe o tau waina kihai nei i mahia: he tau okiokinga hoki tena mo te whenua.
What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to the land:
6 A hei kai ma koutou te hapati o te whenua; mau, ma tau pononga tane, ma tau pononga wahine, ma tau kaimahi, ma tou manene hoki e noho ana i a koe;
But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:
7 Ma au kararehe hoki, ma te kirehe hoki o tou whenua, ona hua katoa, hei kai.
All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
8 A me tatau e koe kia whitu nga tau hapati, kia whitu nga whitu o nga tau; a ko taua takiwa, ko nga tau hapati e whitu, ka kiia e koe e wha tekau ma iwa tau.
Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
9 Katahi ka whakatangihia e koe te tetere tangi nui i te tekau o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama; ko a te ra whakamarietanga mea ai koutou kia paku atu te tangi o te tetere puta noa i to koutou whenua.
And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
10 A me whakatapu te rima tekau o nga tau, ka karanga ai i te haere noa puta noa i te whenua ma nga tangata katoa o te whenua: hei tiupiri nui tena ma koutou; a me hoki koutou ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga, me hoki ano ki ona whanaunga, ki ona wha naunga.
And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
11 Ko tena tau, ko te rima tekau, hei tiupiri ma koutou: kaua e rui, kaua e kokoti i te mea tupu noa ake o tena tau, kaua hoki e whakiia nga waina kihai i mahia.
Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
12 Ko te tiupiri hoki ia; kia tapu ki a koutou; ko ona hua o te mara hei kai ma koutou.
Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
13 Me hoki koutou i tenei tau tiupiri, ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga,
In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
14 Ki te hokona atu ano e koe tetahi mea ki tou hoa, ki te hokona mai ranei tetahi mea e te ringa o tou hoa, kaua e tukinotia tetahi e tetahi:
When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
15 Kia rite au utu ki tou hoa ki te maha o nga tau i muri i te tiupiri; kia rite ano ki te maha o nga tau hua tana hoko ki a koe.
And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
16 Kia rite tau whakanui i te utu o taua mea ki te maha o nga tau, kia rite hoki taua whakaiti i ona utu ki te torutoru o nga tau: e rite ana hoki ki te maha o nga tau hua tana hoko ki a koe:
The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
17 A kaua e tukino tetahi ki tetahi, engari me wehi koe ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.
18 Mo reira me mahi e koutou aku tikanga, me pupuru aku whakaritenga, me mahi hoki; a ka noho humarie koutou i runga i te whenua,
Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,
19 A ka tukua ona hua e te whenua, a ka kai koutou ka makona, ka noho humarie hoki ki reira.
And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.
20 A ki te mea koutou, He aha he kai ma tatou i te whitu o nga tau? titiro hoki, e kore tatou e rua, e kore hoki e kohi i a tatou hua:
But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
21 Maku ra e whakahau iho taku manaaki ki a koutou i te ono o nga tau, a ka whai hua mo nga tau e toru.
I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:
22 A ka rui koutou i te waru o nga tau, ka kai ano i nga hua pakoko; a tae noa ki te iwa o nga tau, me kai nga mea pakoko, kia riro ra ano nga hua o tena tau.
And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.
23 Kaua e hokona te whenua, he mea oti tonu atu; noku hoki te whenua; he manene hoki koutou, he noho noa ki ahau.
The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Me whakaae hoki ki te utu e hoki ai te whenua, i to koutou whenua katoa.
For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
25 Ki te rawakoretia tou teina, a ka hokona e ia tetahi wahi o tona kainga, me haere mai tona whanaunga e tata rawa ana ki a ia, ka utu i te mea i hokona atu e tona teina kia hoki ai.
If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.
26 A ki te kahore he kaiutu a tetahi tangata, a ka whiwhi taonga ia a ka taea ano e ia te utu;
But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
27 Na me tatau e ia nga tau i hokona ai, a ka whakahoki i te tuhene ki te tangata i hokona atu ai; a ka hoki ai ia ki tona kainga.
The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.
28 Otiia ki te kahore e taea e ia te whakahoki mai ki a ia ano, na me waiho tana i hoko ai ki te ringa o te tangata nana i hoko, a tae noa ki te tau tiupiri: a i te tiupiri ka riro, a ka hoki ia ki tona kainga.
But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.
29 Ki te hokona e te tangata he whare nohoanga i te pa taiepa, e ahei ia te utu kia hoki mai ano i roto i te tau kotahi i muri i te rironga: kotahi tino tau hei whakahokinga mana.
He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:
30 A ki te kahore e utua, a tino taka noa te tau, katahi ka whakapumautia mo ake tonu atu te whare i te pa taiepa mo te tangata nana i hoki, puta noa i ona whakatupuranga: e kore e riro i te tiupiri.
If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.
31 Ko nga whare ia o nga kainga, kahore nei he taiepa a tawhio noa, ka kiia e rite ana ki nga parae o te whenua: ka hoki ano ena ina utua, ka riro ano i te tuipiri.
But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.
32 Ko nga pa ia o nga Riwaiti, me nga whare o nga pa e nohoia ana e ratou, e hoki ki nga Riwaiti, ahakoa utua i tehea wa.
The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:
33 A, mehemea na tetahi o nga Riwaiti i utu, na ka riro te whare i hokona ra me tona pa i te tiupiri; ko nga whare hoki o nga pa o nga Riwaiti to ratou kainga pumau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.
If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.
34 Ko te mara ia i te taha o o ratou pa kaua e hokona; no te mea he wahi pumau tena no ratou.
But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
35 A ki te rawakoretia tou teina, a ka wiri tona ringa i roto i a koe; me atawhai e koe; me noho manene ia, me noho noa ranei i a koe.
If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,
36 Kaua e tangohia i a ia he moni whakatuputupu, he whakanuinga ranei; engari me wehi koe ki tou Atua; kia noho ai tou teina i a koe.
Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
37 Kaua tau moni e hoatu ki a ia hei mea whakatuputupu, kaua ano hoki au kai e hoatu ki a ia, me te whakaaro ano ki tetahi whakanuinga ake.
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
38 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, e mea nei kia hoatu te whenua o Kanaana ki a koutou kia waiho ano ahau hei Atua mo koutou.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.
39 A ki te rawakoretia tou teina e noho ana i roto i a koe, a ka hokona ki a koe; kaua ia e whakamahia e koe ki te mahi pononga;
If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
40 Kia rite ia i roto i a koe ki te kaimahi, ki te noho noa; ka mahi ano ia ki a koe, a tae noa ki te tau tiupiri:
But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,
41 Ko reira ia mawehe ai i a koe, ratou ko ana tamariki, a ka hoki ki ona whanaunga, ka hoki ano ki te kainga o ona matua.
And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,
42 Ko ratou hoki aku pononga, i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa; kaua ratou e hokona hei pononga.
For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
43 Kaua e taikaha tau whakarangatira ki a ia; engari me wehi ki tou Atua.
Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
44 Tena ko nga pononga tane me nga pononga wahine mau; me hoko e koe i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine mau.
Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
45 Ma koutou ano hoki e hoko etahi o nga tamariki a nga manene e noho ana i roto i a koutou, etahi hoki o roto o o ratou hapu i roto i a koutou, o nga mea i whanau i a ratou ki to koutou whenua: a puritia iho ma koutou.
And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
46 Me waiho hoki ena e koutou hei taonga tupu e tukua iho kia puritia e a koutou tama i muri i a koutou; hei pononga ratou ma koutou ake ake: kaua ia e taikaha ta koutou whakarangatira ki a koutou ano, ki o koutou teina, ki nga tama a Iharaira.
And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
47 Ki te whai rawa hoki te manene, noho noa ranei, i roto i a koe, a ka rawakoretia tou teina i tona taha, a ka hoko i a ia ki te manene, ki te noho noa ranei i roto i a koe, ki te toronga ranei o te hapu o te manene:
If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
48 E whakahokia ano ia mo te utu i muri i tona hokonga; ma tetahi o ona teina ia e whakahoki.
After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
49 Ma tona matua keke, ma te tamaiti ranei a tona matua keke ia e whakahoki, ma tetahi ranei o ona whanaunga tupu o tona hapu ia e whakahoki; mana ano ranei ia e whakahoki, ki te taea e ia.
Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,
50 Na ka tatau ia, raua ko te tangata nana ia i hoko, ka timata i te tau i hokona ai ia ki a ia, tae noa ki te tau tiupiri: a ka rite te utu e hokona ai ia ki te maha o nga tau; kia rite ki o te kaimahi ona ra ki a ia.
Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,
51 Ki te maha ake nga tau, kia rite ki ena te utu mo tona hokinga e whakahokia atu e ia i roto i te moni i hokona ai ia.
If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
52 A ki te torutoru nga tau e toe ana ki te tau tiupiri, na ka tatau raua; a kia rite ki ona tau te utu e whakahokia e ia ki a ia.
If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,
53 Ko tona noho ki a ia kia rite ki ta te kaimahi e utua ana i te tau: kaua hoki tera e whakatupu rangatira nanakia ki a ia i tau tirohanga.
His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.
54 A ki te kahore ia e hokona i enei tikanga, na me haere atu ia i te tau tiupiri, ratou tahi ko ana tamariki.
And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
55 He pononga hoki ki ahau nga tama a Iharaira; ko aku pononga ratou i whakaputaina mai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
