Lewwota 25
1 Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And 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.
Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep 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 put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;
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 let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.
5 Waan ofiin biqile hin haammatin yookaan wayinii hin qoramin irraa ija walitti hin qabatin. Lafti boqonnaa waggaa tokkoo haa argattu.
That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.
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;
And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among 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 cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.
8 “‘Waggoota sanbataa torba jechuunis waggoota torba yeroo torba lakkaaʼi; waggoonni sanbataa torban waggoota afurtamii sagal taʼu.
And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;
9 Guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti immoo guutummaa biyya keessanii keessatti malakata dhageessisi; Guyyaa Araarri Buʼuttis guutummaa biyyaa keessatti malakata dhageessisaa.
Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all 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.
And let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his heritage and to his family.
11 Waggaan shantamaffaan iyyoobeeliyyuu isiniif haa taʼu; hin facaafatinaa; waan ofiin biqile hin haammatinaa; wayinii hin qoramin irraas ija isaa walitti hin qabatinaa.
Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.
12 Kun sababii iyyoobeeliyyuu taʼeef qulqulluu isiniif haa taʼu; waan lafa qotiisaa irraa galfamu nyaadhaa.
For it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural increase of the field.
13 “‘Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu kana keessa tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara qabeenya isaatti haa deebiʼu.
In this year of Jubilee, let every man go back to his heritage.
14 “‘Yoo nama saba kee taʼetti lafa gurgurte yookaan waan tokko isa irraa bitte, wal hin gowwoomsinaa.
And in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another.
15 Ati waggoota waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu booddee jiran irratti hundooftee nama saba keetii irraa bitadhu. Innis baayʼina waggoota galchaa midhaanii lakkaaʼee sitti haa gurguru.
Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.
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.
If the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain number of years which the man is giving you.
17 Wal hin cunqursinaa; garuu Waaqa sodaadhaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
And do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for I am the Lord your God.
18 “‘Ajaja koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koo illee eegaa; isinis biyyattii keessa nagaan ni jiraattu.
So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.
19 Lafti ija ni kenniti; isinis hamma quuftanitti nyaattu; nagaadhaanis ni jiraattu.
And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.
20 Isinis, “Nu yoo facaafachuu yookaan midhaan keenya walitti qabachuu baanne waggaa torbaffaatti maal nyaanna?” jettanii gaafattu taʼa.
And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase
21 Akka lafti midhaan waggaa sadiif gaʼu isinii kennituuf ani waggaa jaʼaffaatti eebba koo isiniif nan erga.
Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.
22 Yeroo waggaa saddeettaffaatti facaafattanittis waanuma duraan galfattan irraa nyaattu; hamma midhaan waggaa saglaffaa walitti qabattanitti midhaanuma kana nyaattu.
And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.
23 “‘Lafti sababii kanuma koo taateef bara baraan hin gurguramin; isin anaaf alagaa fi keessummoota.
No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.
24 Biyya akka dhaalaatti qabattan guutuu keessatti waan ittiin lafa furtan baasaa.
Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.
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 poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.
26 Garuu yoo namichi sun fira lafa isaa furuuf dhabee inni mataan isaa waan ittiin lafa isaa furatu argate,
And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;
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.
Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back 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 is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.
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.
And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.
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.
And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of 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 small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.
32 “‘Lewwonni garuu manneen isaanii kanneen magaalaawwan isaanii keessatti argaman furachuuf yeroo kam iyyuu mirga qabu.
But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.
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.
And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.
34 Lafti dheedaa kan naannoo magaalaa isaaniitti argamu garuu sababii qabeenya isaanii kan bara baraa taʼeef hin gurguramin.
But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.
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.
And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.
36 Akka namni sun si wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼuuf Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee dhala tokko iyyuu isa irraa hin fudhatin.
Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.
37 Maallaqa kee dhalaan hin liqeessiniif yookaan nyaata kee buʼaa itti herregattee hin kenniniif.
Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.
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 took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.
39 “‘Yoo obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee sitti of gurgure akka garbichaatti isa hin hojjechiifatin.
And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;
40 Inni akka hojjetaa qaxaramaa yookaan nama yeroodhaaf isin wajjin jiraatuu haa taʼu; inni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti siif haa hojjetu.
But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till 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 will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.
42 Israaʼeloonni sababii garboota koo warra ani biyya Gibxiitii baasee fide taʼaniif akka garbootaatti hin gurguramin.
For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.
43 Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee gara jabinaan isaan hin bulchin.
Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.
44 “‘Garboonni kee dhiironnii fi dubartoonni saboota naannoo kee jiraatan gidduudhaa haa dhufan; isin isaan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu.
But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.
45 Akkasumas keessummoota isin gidduu jiraatanii fi maatii isaanii warra biyya keessanitti dhalatan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu; isaanis qabeenya keessan haa taʼan.
And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be 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.
And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.
47 “‘Yoo alagaan yookaan keessummaan si wajjin jiraatu tokko sooromee obboleessi kee immoo hiyyoomee alagaa si wajjin jiraatutti yookaan maatii alagaa sanaatti of gurgure,
And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;
48 inni erga of gurguree booddee furamuuf mirga qaba. Firoota isaa keessaas namni tokko isa furuu dandaʼa.
After he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of his brothers,
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.
Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.
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.
And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.
51 Yoo akka herrega isaaniitti waggoonni baayʼeen hafan inni gatii ittiin bitame sana keessaa harka baayʼee namicha sanaaf deebisuu qaba.
If there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of the price which was given for him.
52 Yoo waggoonni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti hafan muraasa taʼan inni waggoota hafan sana herregatee gatii furama isaa haa kaffalu.
And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.
53 Inni akkuma nama waggaa waggaatti qaxaramu tokkootti isa wajjin haa jiraatu; fuula kee durattis inni gara jabinaan isa hin bulchin.
And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.
54 “‘Yoo inni karaa kanneeniin furamuu baates innii fi ijoolleen isaa Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti furamuu qabu;
And if he is not made free in this way, he will go out in the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
55 Israaʼeloonni garboota kootii. Isaan garboota koo kanneen ani biyya Gibxii baasee fidee dha. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
