Lewwota 25
1 Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 “Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi: ‘Yommuu biyya ani isinii kennutti galtan, biyyattiin mataan ishee sanbata Waaqayyoo haa kabajju.
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
3 Waggaa jaʼa lafa qotiisaa kee facaafadhu; waggaa jaʼa immoo wayinii kee irraa qori; ija isaas walitti qabadhu.
For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
4 Waggaa torbaffaatti garuu lafti sanbata boqonnaa haa qabaatu; kunis sanbata Waaqayyoof kabajamuu dha. Lafa qotiisaa kee hin facaafatin yookaan wayinii kee irraa hin qorin.
But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5 Waan ofiin biqile hin haammatin yookaan wayinii hin qoramin irraa ija walitti hin qabatin. Lafti boqonnaa waggaa tokkoo haa argattu.
You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
6 Wanni lafti waggaa sanbataatti kennitu nyaata kee haa taʼu jechuunis siʼi mataa keetiif, garboota kee dhiiraa fi dubartiidhaaf, warra qaxaramanii hojjetanii fi alagoota yeroodhaaf si wajjin jiraataniif nyaata haa taʼu;
Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
7 akkasumas horii keetii fi bineensa daggalaa kanneen biyya kee keessa jiraataniif nyaata haa taʼu. Wanni lafti baaftu kam iyyuu haa nyaatamu.
and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
8 “‘Waggoota sanbataa torba jechuunis waggoota torba yeroo torba lakkaaʼi; waggoonni sanbataa torban waggoota afurtamii sagal taʼu.
And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
9 Guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti immoo guutummaa biyya keessanii keessatti malakata dhageessisi; Guyyaa Araarri Buʼuttis guutummaa biyyaa keessatti malakata dhageessisaa.
Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.
10 Waggaa shantamaffaa qulqulleessaatii guutummaa biyyattii keessatti jiraattota hundaaf bilisummaa labsaa. Kunis iyyoobeeliyyuu isinii taʼa; tokkoon tokkoon namaa deebiʼee gara qabeenya isaattii fi gara maatii isaatti haa galu.
So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.
11 Waggaan shantamaffaan iyyoobeeliyyuu isiniif haa taʼu; hin facaafatinaa; waan ofiin biqile hin haammatinaa; wayinii hin qoramin irraas ija isaa walitti hin qabatinaa.
The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
12 Kun sababii iyyoobeeliyyuu taʼeef qulqulluu isiniif haa taʼu; waan lafa qotiisaa irraa galfamu nyaadhaa.
For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
13 “‘Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu kana keessa tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara qabeenya isaatti haa deebiʼu.
In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
14 “‘Yoo nama saba kee taʼetti lafa gurgurte yookaan waan tokko isa irraa bitte, wal hin gowwoomsinaa.
If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
15 Ati waggoota waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu booddee jiran irratti hundooftee nama saba keetii irraa bitadhu. Innis baayʼina waggoota galchaa midhaanii lakkaaʼee sitti haa gurguru.
You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
16 Yoo waggaan baayʼee taʼe gatii isaa dabaliif; yoo waggaan isaa gabaabaa taʼe immoo gatii isaa hirʼisi; sababiin isaa wanni inni sitti gurguru baayʼina midhaanii ti.
You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.
17 Wal hin cunqursinaa; garuu Waaqa sodaadhaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
18 “‘Ajaja koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koo illee eegaa; isinis biyyattii keessa nagaan ni jiraattu.
You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
19 Lafti ija ni kenniti; isinis hamma quuftanitti nyaattu; nagaadhaanis ni jiraattu.
Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
20 Isinis, “Nu yoo facaafachuu yookaan midhaan keenya walitti qabachuu baanne waggaa torbaffaatti maal nyaanna?” jettanii gaafattu taʼa.
Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
21 Akka lafti midhaan waggaa sadiif gaʼu isinii kennituuf ani waggaa jaʼaffaatti eebba koo isiniif nan erga.
But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
22 Yeroo waggaa saddeettaffaatti facaafattanittis waanuma duraan galfattan irraa nyaattu; hamma midhaan waggaa saglaffaa walitti qabattanitti midhaanuma kana nyaattu.
While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
23 “‘Lafti sababii kanuma koo taateef bara baraan hin gurguramin; isin anaaf alagaa fi keessummoota.
The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
24 Biyya akka dhaalaatti qabattan guutuu keessatti waan ittiin lafa furtan baasaa.
Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25 “‘Obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee lafa isaa yoo gurgure, namni fira isaa kan dhiʼoo taʼe dhufee waan firri isaa gurgure sana haa furuuf.
If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
26 Garuu yoo namichi sun fira lafa isaa furuuf dhabee inni mataan isaa waan ittiin lafa isaa furatu argate,
Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
27 waggoota yeroo inni lafa isaa gurgure sanaa as jiran lakkaaʼee namicha itti gurgure sanaaf maallaqa isaa haa deebisu; innis gara lafa ofiitti haa deebiʼu.
he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
28 Garuu yoo waan namicha sanaaf deebisu dhabee, wanni inni gurgure sun hamma waggaa iyyoobeeliyyuutti harkuma namicha bite sanaa haa turu. Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu keessa ni deebiʼaaf; innis gara qabeenya isaatti ni deebiʼa.
But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.
29 “‘Namni yoo magaalaa dallaa qabdu keessatti mana jireenyaa gurgurate, gaafa gurguratee jalqabee waggaa tokko keessatti furachuu dandaʼa. Mirgi furachuu isaas hamma waggaa tokkootti tura.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
30 Yoo utuu waggaan tokko hin guutin furamuu baate manni magaalaa dallaa qabdu keessatti argamu sun qabeenya namicha biteetii fi kan sanyii isaa taʼee hafa. Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuuttis hin deebiʼu.
If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
31 Manneen gandoota dallaan itti hin ijaaramin keessa jiran garuu waan akka lafa baadiyyaatti hedamaniif furamuu dandaʼu. Bara Iyyoobeeliyyuuttis ni deebifamu.
But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 “‘Lewwonni garuu manneen isaanii kanneen magaalaawwan isaanii keessatti argaman furachuuf yeroo kam iyyuu mirga qabu.
As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
33 Qabeenyi Lewwotaa furamuu ni dandaʼa; manneen magaalaa isaan qabatan keessatti gurguraman bara Iyyoobeeliyyuutti ni deebifamu; manneen magaalaa Lewwotaa keessatti argaman Israaʼeloota gidduutti qabeenya Lewwotaatii.
So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
34 Lafti dheedaa kan naannoo magaalaa isaaniitti argamu garuu sababii qabeenya isaanii kan bara baraa taʼeef hin gurguramin.
But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
35 “‘Yoo obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee isin gidduutti of gargaaruu dadhabe, akka inni isin gidduu jiraachuu dandaʼuuf akkuma alagaa yookaan keessummaa tokko gargaartutti isa gargaar.
Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
36 Akka namni sun si wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼuuf Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee dhala tokko iyyuu isa irraa hin fudhatin.
Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
37 Maallaqa kee dhalaan hin liqeessiniif yookaan nyaata kee buʼaa itti herregattee hin kenniniif.
You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
38 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan biyya Kanaʼaan isiniif kennuu fi Waaqa keessan taʼuuf biyya Gibxii isin baasee dha.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 “‘Yoo obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee sitti of gurgure akka garbichaatti isa hin hojjechiifatin.
If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
40 Inni akka hojjetaa qaxaramaa yookaan nama yeroodhaaf isin wajjin jiraatuu haa taʼu; inni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti siif haa hojjetu.
Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 Ergasii inni ijoollee isaa wajjin gad haa lakkifamu; inni gara maatii isaatii fi qabeenya abbootii isaatti haa deebiʼu.
Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
42 Israaʼeloonni sababii garboota koo warra ani biyya Gibxiitii baasee fide taʼaniif akka garbootaatti hin gurguramin.
Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
43 Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee gara jabinaan isaan hin bulchin.
You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
44 “‘Garboonni kee dhiironnii fi dubartoonni saboota naannoo kee jiraatan gidduudhaa haa dhufan; isin isaan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu.
Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
45 Akkasumas keessummoota isin gidduu jiraatanii fi maatii isaanii warra biyya keessanitti dhalatan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu; isaanis qabeenya keessan haa taʼan.
You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
46 Akka qabeenya dhaalamuutti ijoollee keessanitti dabarsuu dandeessu; bara jireenya isaanii guutuus isaan garboomfachuu dandeessu; Israaʼeloota obboloota keessan taʼan garuu gara jabinaan hin bulchinaa.
You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.
47 “‘Yoo alagaan yookaan keessummaan si wajjin jiraatu tokko sooromee obboleessi kee immoo hiyyoomee alagaa si wajjin jiraatutti yookaan maatii alagaa sanaatti of gurgure,
If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,
48 inni erga of gurguree booddee furamuuf mirga qaba. Firoota isaa keessaas namni tokko isa furuu dandaʼa.
he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
49 Obboleessi abbaa isaa yookaan ilmi obboleessa abbaa isaa yookaan aantee isaa keessaa firri dhiigaa isa furuu dandaʼa. Yookaan inni iyyuu yoo soorome of furuu dandaʼa.
either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
50 Innii fi namichi isa bite sun waggaa inni itti of gurguree jalqabee hamma waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti haa lakkaaʼan. Gatiin furii isaas baayʼina waggoota sanaa irratti hundaaʼa; yeroon inni namicha isa bitate sana bira ture immoo akka nama qacaramee hojjete tokkootti herregama.
He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.
51 Yoo akka herrega isaaniitti waggoonni baayʼeen hafan inni gatii ittiin bitame sana keessaa harka baayʼee namicha sanaaf deebisuu qaba.
If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
52 Yoo waggoonni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti hafan muraasa taʼan inni waggoota hafan sana herregatee gatii furama isaa haa kaffalu.
If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
53 Inni akkuma nama waggaa waggaatti qaxaramu tokkootti isa wajjin haa jiraatu; fuula kee durattis inni gara jabinaan isa hin bulchin.
He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
54 “‘Yoo inni karaa kanneeniin furamuu baates innii fi ijoolleen isaa Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti furamuu qabu;
Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
55 Israaʼeloonni garboota kootii. Isaan garboota koo kanneen ani biyya Gibxii baasee fidee dha. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
