लेवीहरू 25

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई सीनै पर्वतमा भन्‍नुभयो,

Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,

2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन्, ‘मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिने देशमा पुगेपछि परमप्रभुको निम्ति भूमिले पनि शबाथ मानोस् ।

“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 तिमीहरूले छ वर्षसम्म आफ्नो भूमिमा बाली लगाउनू, र छ वर्षसम्म आफ्नो दाखबारी छिँवल्‍नू र फसल बटुल्‍नू ।

You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.

4 तर सातौँ वर्षमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति भूमिले पनि पवित्र शबाथ मानोस् । आफ्नो भूमिमा बाली नलगाउनू वा आफ्नो दाखबारी नछिँवल्‍नू ।

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 आफै उम्रेको फसल वा नछिँवलेको बोटबाट दाखको कटनी नगर्नू । योचाहिँ भूमिको निम्ति एक वर्षका लागि पवित्र विश्राम होस् ।

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 शबाथको वर्षमा खन-जोत नगरिएको भूमिले जे उब्जाउँछ त्यो नै तिमीहरूका निम्ति भोजन हुने छ । तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारीहरू, तिमीहरूले ज्यालामा काममा लगाएका नोकरहरू र तिमीहरूसँग बसोबास गर्ने परदेशीहरूले ती भोजन बटुल्‍न सक्छन्,

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 र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु, र जङ्गली पशुहरूले पनि भूमिले जे उब्जाउँछ त्यही खाने छन् ।

and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.

8 तिमीहरूले आफ्नो लागि सात शबाथका वर्षहरू अर्थात् सात गुणा सात वर्ष गरी उनन्‍चास वर्ष गन्‍नू ।

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 त्यसपछि सातौँ महिनाको दसौँ दिनमा तिमीहरूले सबै ठाउँमा ठुलो आवाजमा तुरही बजाउनू । प्रायश्‍चित्तको दिनमा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना सारा भूमिभरि तुरही बजाउनू ।

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 तिमीहरूले पचासौँ वर्ष परमप्रभुका निम्ति अलग गर्नू र सारा भूमिमा सबै बासिन्दाहरूबिच स्वतन्त्रताको घोषणा गर्नू । यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष होस्, जुन वर्ष सम्पत्ति र दास तिनीहरूका परिवारहरूमा फिर्ता गरिने छन् ।

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 पचासौँ वर्ष तिमीहरूका निम्ति पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष हुने छ । तिमीहरूले बाली नलगाउनू र कटनी पनि नगर्नू । आफै उम्रेका, र नछिँवलेका बोटहरूका दाखहरू तिमीहरूले खानू ।

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 यो पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष भएको हुनाले यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति पवित्र हुने छ । भूमिमा आफै उम्रेका कुराहरू तिमीहरूले खानू ।

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 पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षमा सबैलाई आफ्नै जग्‍गाजमिनमा फर्काउनू ।

You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.

14 तिमीहरूले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आफ्नो जग्‍गा बेच्‍दा वा आफ्नो छिमेकीबाट जग्‍गा किन्दा तिमीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई धोका नदिनू ।

If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong each other.

15 आफ्नो छिमेकीबाट जग्‍गा किन्दा अर्को पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्ममा कटनी गर्न सकिने वर्षहरू र बालीहरूलाई ध्यानमा राख्‍नू । जग्‍गा बेच्‍न लागेका तिमीहरूका छिमेकीले पनि यो कुरा ध्यानमा राखोस् ।

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 अर्को पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म जति धेरै वर्ष बाँकी रहन्छ त्यति नै जग्‍गाको मूल्य बढी हुने छ, र अर्को पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म जति थोरै वर्ष बाँकी रहन्छ त्यति नै जग्‍गाको मूल्य कम हुने छ, किनभने नयाँ मालिकको निम्ति कटनीको सङ्ख्या अर्को पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष आउन बाँकी वर्षहरूमा आधारित हुन्छ ।

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 तिमीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई धोका नदिनू, बरु तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको मान गर्नू, किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.

18 यसैले तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्‍नू, मेरा नियमहरू पालन गर्नू र तीअनुसार चल्‍नू । अनि तिमीहरू आफ्नो देशमा सुरक्षित भई जिउने छौ ।

Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.

19 भूमिले आफ्नो उब्जनी दिने छ, र तिमीहरूले प्रशस्‍त मात्रामा खाने छौ र त्यहाँ सुरक्षित भएर जिउने छौ ।

The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.

20 तिमीहरूले भनौला, “सातौँ वर्षमा हामीले के खाने छौँ? हेर्नुहोस्, हामीले न त बाली लगाउन सक्छौँ, न फसल कटनी गर्न सक्छौँ ।”

You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”

21 छैटौँ वर्षमा तिमीहरूमाथि म मेरो आशिष् बर्साउने छु, र भूमिले तिन वर्षसम्म पुग्‍ने फसल उब्जाउने छ ।

I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.

22 आठौँ वर्षमा तिमीहरूले बाली लगाउने छौ र तिमीहरूले अगिल्लो वर्षको उब्जनी र भण्डार गरिएको उब्जनीबाट नै खानू । नवौँ वर्षको कटनी गरिएको फसल नआउँदासम्म अगिल्ला वर्षहरूमा भण्डार गरिएका उब्जनीहरूबाट तिमीहरूले खान सक्‍ने छौ ।

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 कोही नयाँ स्थायी मालिकलाई भूमि नबेच्‍नू, किनभने त्यो भूमि मेरो हो । तिमीहरू सबै परदेशीहरू हौ र मेरो भूमिका अस्थायी बासिन्दाहरू हौ ।

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 तिमीहरूले हासिल गरेका सबै जग्‍गाको निम्ति छुटकाराको अधिकार दिनू; तिमीहरूले जुन परिवारबाट जग्‍गा किन्यौ त्यही परिवारलाई त्यो जग्‍गा किन्‍ने मौका दिनू ।

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 यदि तिमीहरूको कोही सङ्गी-इस्राएली गरिब भयो र त्यसले गरिबीको कारण आफ्नो केही सम्पत्ति बेच्‍यो भने, त्यसको सबैभन्दा नजिकको नातेदार आएर त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई बेचेको सम्पत्ति पुनः किन्‍न सक्‍ने छ ।

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 यदि त्यो सम्पत्तिलाई फुकाउनको निम्ति त्यसको कुनै नातेदार छैन, तर त्यो फेरि धनाढ्य भयो र त्यो फुकाउने क्षमता त्योसँग भयो भने,

If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,

27 त्यसले त्यो जग्‍गा बेचेपछि बितेका वर्षहरू गनोस् र त्यसले जुन मानिसलाई त्यो जग्‍गा बेचेको थियो त्यसलाई बाँकी रकम तिरोस् । त्यसपछि त्यो आफ्नै जग्‍गाजमिनमा फर्कन सक्छ ।

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 तर यदि त्यसले आफ्नो लागि त्यो जग्‍गा फिर्ता लिन सकेन भने, त्यसले बेचेको जग्‍गा पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म जग्‍गा किन्‍ने मानिसको स्वामित्वमा हुने छ । पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षको अन्त्यमा जग्‍गा बेच्‍ने मानिसकहाँ नै त्यो जग्‍गा फर्काइन्छ, र त्यसको जग्‍गाधनी आफ्नै जग्‍गाजमिनमा फर्कने छ ।

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 यदि कुनै मानिसले पर्खाल लगाएको सहरभित्र घर बेच्‍छ भने, त्यसले त्यो बेचेको एक वर्षभित्र त्यो फेरि किन्‍न सक्‍ने छ । एक वर्षसम्म त्योसँग छुटकाराको अधिकार हुने छ ।

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 यदि एक वर्षसम्म त्यसले त्यो घर फुकाउन सकेन भने, पर्खाल लगाएको सहरभित्रको घर, खरिद गर्ने मानिस र त्यसका वंशको स्थायी सम्पत्ति हुने छ । त्यो पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षमा फिर्ता गर्नुपर्दैन ।

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 तर गाउँका घरहरू जसका वरिपरि कुनै पर्खाल छैन, त्यसलाई जग्‍गासरह मानिने छ । ती फुकाउन सकिने छ, र पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षमा ती फिर्ता गर्नुपर्ने छ ।

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 तथापि, लेवीहरूले आफ्ना सहरहरूमा आफ्नो अधिकार गरेका घरहरू भने जुनसुकै समयमा पनि फुकाउन सकिने छ ।

However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed at any time.

33 यदि लेवीहरूमध्ये कसैले आफूले बेचेको घर फुकाएन भने, सहरमा बेचिएको घर पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षमा फिर्ता गरिनुपर्ने छ, किनभने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमध्ये लेवीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र भएका घरहरू तिनीहरूको सम्पत्ति हो ।

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 तर तिनीहरूका सहरहरू वरिपरि भएका भूमिहरू नबेच्‍नू किनभने ती लेवीहरूका स्थायी सम्पत्ति हुन् ।

But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.

35 यदि तिमीहरूका सङ्गी-नागरिक गरिब भएर आफ्नो हेरचाह गर्न सकेन भने, तिमीहरूले जसरी कुनै परदेशीलाई वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा कतै बाहिरबाट आएर बसोबास गरेका मानिसहरूलाई सहयोग गर्छौ, त्यसरी नै त्यसलाई सहयोग गर्नू ।

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 त्यसलाई ब्याज नलगाउनू वा त्यसबाट कुनै किसिमको फाइदा नलिनू, आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको आदर गर्नू ताकि तेरो भाइ तँसँगै बसोबास गर्न सकोस् ।

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 तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई ब्याजमा ऋण नदिनू, न त नाफा कमाउनको निम्ति आफ्नो भोजन त्यसलाई बेच्‍नू ।

You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.

38 तिमीहरूलाई कनान देश दिन र तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनको निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याउने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर म नै हुँ ।

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 यदि तिमीहरूको सङ्गी-नागरिक गरिब भयो र त्यसले आफैलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ बेच्‍यो भने, त्यसलाई दासलाई झैँ काममा नलगाउनू ।

If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.

40 त्यसलाई ज्यालामा राखिएको नोकरझैँ व्यवहार गर्नू । तिमीहरूका बिचमा अस्थायी रूपमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसझैँ त्यो हुने छ । पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म त्यसले तिमीहरूको सेवा गर्ने छ ।

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 त्यसपछि त्यो र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू तिमीहरूबाट पर आफ्नै परिवार र आफ्नै पिताको सम्पत्तिमा फर्किजाने छन् ।

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 किनभने तिनीहरू मेरा नोकरहरू हुन् जसलाई मैले मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ । तिनीहरू दासहरूझैँ बेचिने छैनन् ।

For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.

43 तिमीहरूले त्यसमाथि कठोर रूपमा शासन नगर्नू, तर तिमीहरूले आफ्नो परमेश्‍वरको मान गर्नू ।

You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.

44 तिमीहरूका वरिपरि बसोबास गर्ने जातिहरूबाट दास-दासीहरू तिमीहरूले प्राप्‍त गर्न सक्‍यौ भने, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूबाट दासहरू किन्‍न सक्‍ने छौ ।

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 तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशीहरूबाट, तिमीहरूसँग भएका तिनीहरूका परिवारहरूबाट, र तिमीहरूको भूमिमा जन्मेका तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूबाट पनि तिमीहरूले दासहरू किन्‍न सक्छौ । तिनीहरू तिमीहरूको सम्पत्ति बन्‍न सक्छन् ।

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 तिमीहरूले त्यस्ता दासहरूलाई आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूपछि सम्पत्तिको रूपमा प्राप्‍त गर्न र सारा जीवनभर तिनीहरूलाई दास बनाउन उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिन सक्छौ, तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा आफ्ना भाइहरूलाई तिमीहरूले कठोर रूपमा शासन नगर्नू ।

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 यदि कुनै परदेशी वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा अस्थायी रूपमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिस धनी भयो, र तिमीहरूमध्येको कुनै एउटा सङ्गी-इस्राएली गरिब भएर त्यसले आफैलाई त्यो परदेशी वा त्यस परदेशीको परिवारमा कसैकहाँ आफैलाई बेच्‍यो भने,

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 तिमीहरूको सङ्गी-इस्राएली किनिसकेपछि त्यसलाई पुनः किनेर फुकाउन सकिने छ । परिवारमा कसैले त्यसलाई छुटकारा दिन सक्छ ।

after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family may redeem him.

49 त्यस मानिसको काका, वा काकाको छोरा, वा त्यसको परिवारको कोही नजिकको नातेदारले त्यसलाई छुटाउन सक्‍ने छ । वा त्यो धनाढ्य भएको छ भने, त्यसले आफैलाई छुटाउन सक्‍ने छ ।

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 त्यसलाई किनेको मानिससँग त्यसले मोल-तोल गरोस्, र त्यसले आफैलाई त्यो खरिद गर्ने मानिसकहाँ बेचेको वर्षदेखि पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म कति वर्ष हुने रहेछ भनेर तिनीहरूले गनून् । त्यसलाई किन्‍ने मानिसकहाँ त्यसले जति वर्ष काम गरिरहने छ, ती वर्षहरूका निम्ति कुनै ज्यालामा राखिने नोकरलाई तिरिने दरलाई ध्यानमा राखी त्यसको छुटकाराको मोल तय गरियोस् ।

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 पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष आउन अझै धेरै वर्ष बाँकी छ भने, ती वर्षहरूका आधारमा आफ्नो छुटकाराको रकम तिरोस् ।

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 यदि पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष आउन थोरै मात्र समय रहेको छ भने, पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्ष आउनअगि बाँकी रहेका वर्षहरू त्यसलाई खरिद गर्नेसँग त्यसले मोल-तोल गरोस्, र ती वर्षहरूअनुसार त्यसले आफ्नो छुटकाराको निम्ति तिरोस् ।

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 वर्ष-वर्षको निम्ति ज्यालामा लगाइएको मानिसझैँ त्यससँग व्यवहार गर्नू । त्यसलाई कठोरतासाथ व्यवहार नगर्नू ।

He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.

54 यी तरिकाहरूबाट त्यसको छुटकारा हुन सकेन भने, त्यो र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरूले पुनर्स्थापनाको वर्षसम्म सेवा गरून् ।

If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.

55 मेरो निम्ति इस्राएलका मनिसहरू नोकरहरू हुन् । यिनीहरू मेरा नोकरहरू हुन् जसलाई मैले मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याएँ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ’ ।”

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.'”
