Lewwota 25
1 Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 “Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi: ‘Yommuu biyya ani isinii kennutti galtan, biyyattiin mataan ishee sanbata Waaqayyoo haa kabajju.
“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 Waggaa jaʼa lafa qotiisaa kee facaafadhu; waggaa jaʼa immoo wayinii kee irraa qori; ija isaas walitti qabadhu.
You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.
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, 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 Waan ofiin biqile hin haammatin yookaan wayinii hin qoramin irraa ija walitti hin qabatin. Lafti boqonnaa waggaa tokkoo haa argattu.
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 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 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 akkasumas horii keetii fi bineensa daggalaa kanneen biyya kee keessa jiraataniif nyaata haa taʼu. Wanni lafti baaftu kam iyyuu haa nyaatamu.
and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.
8 “‘Waggoota sanbataa torba jechuunis waggoota torba yeroo torba lakkaaʼi; waggoonni sanbataa torban waggoota afurtamii sagal taʼu.
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 Guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti immoo guutummaa biyya keessanii keessatti malakata dhageessisi; Guyyaa Araarri Buʼuttis guutummaa biyyaa keessatti malakata dhageessisaa.
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 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.
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 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 must not plant or conduct an organized harvest. Eat whatever grows by itself, and gather the grapes that grow on the unpruned vines.
12 Kun sababii iyyoobeeliyyuu taʼeef qulqulluu isiniif haa taʼu; waan lafa qotiisaa irraa galfamu nyaadhaa.
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 “‘Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuu kana keessa tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara qabeenya isaatti haa deebiʼu.
You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.
14 “‘Yoo nama saba kee taʼetti lafa gurgurte yookaan waan tokko isa irraa bitte, wal hin gowwoomsinaa.
If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong 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.
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 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.
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 Wal hin cunqursinaa; garuu Waaqa sodaadhaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
18 “‘Ajaja koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koo illee eegaa; isinis biyyattii keessa nagaan ni jiraattu.
Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.
19 Lafti ija ni kenniti; isinis hamma quuftanitti nyaattu; nagaadhaanis ni jiraattu.
The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.
20 Isinis, “Nu yoo facaafachuu yookaan midhaan keenya walitti qabachuu baanne waggaa torbaffaatti maal nyaanna?” jettanii gaafattu taʼa.
You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”
21 Akka lafti midhaan waggaa sadiif gaʼu isinii kennituuf ani waggaa jaʼaffaatti eebba koo isiniif nan erga.
I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.
22 Yeroo waggaa saddeettaffaatti facaafattanittis waanuma duraan galfattan irraa nyaattu; hamma midhaan waggaa saglaffaa walitti qabattanitti midhaanuma kana nyaattu.
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 “‘Lafti sababii kanuma koo taateef bara baraan hin gurguramin; isin anaaf alagaa fi keessummoota.
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 Biyya akka dhaalaatti qabattan guutuu keessatti waan ittiin lafa furtan baasaa.
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 “‘Obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee lafa isaa yoo gurgure, namni fira isaa kan dhiʼoo taʼe dhufee waan firri isaa gurgure sana haa furuuf.
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 Garuu yoo namichi sun fira lafa isaa furuuf dhabee inni mataan isaa waan ittiin lafa isaa furatu argate,
If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,
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 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 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 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 “‘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, 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 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 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 Manneen gandoota dallaan itti hin ijaaramin keessa jiran garuu waan akka lafa baadiyyaatti hedamaniif furamuu dandaʼu. Bara Iyyoobeeliyyuuttis ni deebifamu.
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 “‘Lewwonni garuu manneen isaanii kanneen magaalaawwan isaanii keessatti argaman furachuuf yeroo kam iyyuu mirga qabu.
However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed 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.
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 Lafti dheedaa kan naannoo magaalaa isaaniitti argamu garuu sababii qabeenya isaanii kan bara baraa taʼeef hin gurguramin.
But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.
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.
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 Akka namni sun si wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼuuf Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee dhala tokko iyyuu isa irraa hin fudhatin.
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 Maallaqa kee dhalaan hin liqeessiniif yookaan nyaata kee buʼaa itti herregattee hin kenniniif.
You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.
38 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan biyya Kanaʼaan isiniif kennuu fi Waaqa keessan taʼuuf biyya Gibxii isin baasee dha.
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 “‘Yoo obboleessi kee tokko hiyyoomee sitti of gurgure akka garbichaatti isa hin hojjechiifatin.
If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.
40 Inni akka hojjetaa qaxaramaa yookaan nama yeroodhaaf isin wajjin jiraatuu haa taʼu; inni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti siif haa hojjetu.
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 Ergasii inni ijoollee isaa wajjin gad haa lakkifamu; inni gara maatii isaatii fi qabeenya abbootii isaatti haa deebiʼu.
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 Israaʼeloonni sababii garboota koo warra ani biyya Gibxiitii baasee fide taʼaniif akka garbootaatti hin gurguramin.
For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.
43 Waaqa kee sodaadhu malee gara jabinaan isaan hin bulchin.
You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.
44 “‘Garboonni kee dhiironnii fi dubartoonni saboota naannoo kee jiraatan gidduudhaa haa dhufan; isin isaan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu.
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 Akkasumas keessummoota isin gidduu jiraatanii fi maatii isaanii warra biyya keessanitti dhalatan keessaa garboota bitachuu dandeessu; isaanis qabeenya keessan haa taʼan.
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 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 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 “‘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 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 inni erga of gurguree booddee furamuuf mirga qaba. Firoota isaa keessaas namni tokko isa furuu dandaʼa.
after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family 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.
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 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 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 Yoo akka herrega isaaniitti waggoonni baayʼeen hafan inni gatii ittiin bitame sana keessaa harka baayʼee namicha sanaaf deebisuu qaba.
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 Yoo waggoonni hamma Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti hafan muraasa taʼan inni waggoota hafan sana herregatee gatii furama isaa haa kaffalu.
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 Inni akkuma nama waggaa waggaatti qaxaramu tokkootti isa wajjin haa jiraatu; fuula kee durattis inni gara jabinaan isa hin bulchin.
He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.
54 “‘Yoo inni karaa kanneeniin furamuu baates innii fi ijoolleen isaa Waggaa Iyyoobeeliyyuutti furamuu qabu;
If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until 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.
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.'”
