Revhitiko 25

1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi pagomo reSinai,

Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

2 “Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kana mapinda munyika yandichakupai, nyika pachayo inofanira kucherechedza sabata kuna Jehovha.

“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 Kwamakore matanhatu dyarai minda yenyu, uye kwamakore matanhatu, dimurirai mizambiringa yenyu mugounganidza michero yayo.

For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.

4 Asi mugore rechinomwe, nyika inofanira kuva nesabata rokuzorora, sabata kuna Jehovha. Musadyara minda yenyu kana kudimurira mizambiringa yenyu.

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 Musakohwa zvinomera zvoga kana kukohwa mazambiringa amagoko. Nyika inofanira kuva negore rokuzorora.

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 Gohwo ripi neripi renyika resabata richava zvokudya zvenyu, zvako iwe, murandarume wako nomurandakadzi wako, uye mushandi nomueni agere pakati penyu,

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 pamwe chete nezvipfuwo zvenyu nemhuka dzesango dziri munyika yenyu. Zvibereko zvose zvomunyika zvingadyiwa.

and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.

8 “‘Verengai maSabata manomwe amakore, makore manomwe akapetwa kanomwe, kuitira kuti maSabata manomwe amakore akwane nguva inoita makore makumi mana namapfumbamwe.

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 Ipapo urayire kuti hwamanda iridzwe kwose pazuva regumi romwedzi wechinomwe; paZuva Rokuyananisira ridzai hwamanda munyika yenyu yose.

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 Tsaurai gore ramakumi mashanu mugoparidza rusununguko munyika yose kuvagari vayo vose. Richava Jubhiri kwamuri; mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kudzokera kune zvake, uye mumwe nomumwe kumhuri yake.

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 Gore ramakumi mashanu richava gore reJubhiri kwamuri. Musadyara uye musakohwa mazambiringa amagoko.

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 Nokuti iJubhiri uye rinofanira kuva dzvene kwamuri. Idyai chete zvinotorwa kubva muminda.

For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.

13 “‘Mugore iri reJubhiri munhu wose anofanira kudzokera kune zvake.

In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.

14 “‘Kana mukatengesa munda kuno mumwe womunyika menyu kana kutenga kwaari, musabiridzirana.

If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.

15 Munofanira kutenga kubva kuvagari venyika yenyu zvichienderana nouwandu hwamakore kubva pagore reJubhiri. Uye iye anofanira kutengesa zvichienderana nouwandu hwamakore asara okukohwa zvirimwa.

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 Kana makore awanda, munofanira kuwedzera mutengo, uye kana makore ari mashoma, munofanira kudzikisa mutengo, nokuti zvaari kukutengeserai ndizvo chaizvoizvo uwandu hwezvirimwa.

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 Musabiridzirana, asi ityai Mwari wenyu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

18 “‘Teverai mitemo yangu mugochenjerera kuti muteerere mirayiro yangu, ipapo muchagara makachengetedzeka munyika.

You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.

19 Ipapo nyika ichabereka zvibereko zvayo uye imi muchadya kusvikira maguta, mugogara makachengetedzeka.

Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.

20 Mungabvunza muchiti, “Ko, tichadyei mugore rechinomwe kana tisingadyari kana kukohwa zvirimwa zvedu?”

Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’

21 Ndichakutumirai ropafadzo mugore rechitanhatu zvokuti nyika ichabereka zvinokwana makore matatu.

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 Pamunenge muchidyara mugore rorusere muchadya kubva kuzvirimwa zvakare, uye mucharamba muchidya kubva kwazviri kusvika gohwo regore rechipfumbamwe rasvika.

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 “‘Munda haufaniri kutengeswa nokusingaperi, nokuti nyika ndeyangu uye imi muri vatorwa navaeni kwandiri.

The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.

24 Munyika yose yamuchatora, munofanira kutendera kudzikinurwa kwenyika.

Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

25 “‘Kana mumwe wavagari venyika yenyu akava murombo akatengesa zvimwe zvezvinhu zvake, hama yake yepedyo inofanira kuuya kuzodzikinura zvakatengeswa nehama yake.

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 Zvisinei, kana munhu ashaya angamudzikinurira zvinhu izvi, asi iye akazobudirira akawana nzira dzakakwana dzokuzvidzikinura,

Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,

27 anofanira kupima kukosha kwomutengo wazvo kubva pagore raakazvitengesa, agodzosera zvasara pamuripo wazvo, kumurume waakazvitengesera; ipapo angadzokera kune zvake.

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 Asi kana akashaya nzira dzokumudzorera nadzo, zvaakatengesa zvicharamba zviri mumaoko omutengi kusvikira gore reJubhiri. Zvichadzoserwa mugore reJubhiri uye iye achagona kudzokera kune zvake.

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 “‘Kana munhu akatengesa imba muguta rino rusvingo, anoramba aine mvumo yokuidzikinura kwegore rose shure kwokutengeswa kwayo. Munguva iyoyo anogona kuidzikinura.

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 Kana isina kudzikinurwa gore risati rapfuura, imba iri muguta rino rusvingo ichava yowakatenga nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi. Haifaniri kudzorerwa paJubhiri.

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 Asi dzimba dziri mumisha isina kukomberedzwa namasvingo dzinofanira kuonekwa sesango. Dzinogona kudzikinurwa uye dzinofanira kudzoserwa muJubhiri.

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 “‘VaRevhi vane mvumo nguva dzose yokudzikinura dzimba dzavo mumaguta avaRevhi, anova avo.

As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

33 Naizvozvo zvinhu zvavaRevhi zvinogona kudzikinurwa, zvichireva kuti imba inotengeswa muguta ravo ripi neripi inofanira kudzoserwa muJubhiri, nokuti dzimba dziri mumaguta avaRevhi zvinhu zvavo pakati pavaIsraeri.

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 Asi mafuro amaguta avo haafaniri kutengeswa; inhaka yavo inogara nokusingaperi.

But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

35 “‘Kana mumwe wehama dzenyu akava murombo uye asisagoni kuzviriritira pakati penyu, mubatsirei sezvamunoita mutorwa kana mueni kuti arambe achigara pakati penyu.

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 Musatora mhindu yemhando ipi zvayo kubva kwaari, asi ityai Mwari wenyu kuitira kuti hama yenyu irambe ichigara pakati penyu.

Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

37 Hamufaniri kumukweretesa mari muchiti ichazobereka mhindu kana kumutengesera zvokudya zvine mhindu.

You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.

38 Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti kuti ndikupei nyika yeKenani uye kuti ndive Mwari wenyu.

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 “‘Kana mumwe wehama dzenyu akava murombo pakati penyu akazvitengesa kwamuri, musamuita kuti ashande somuranda.

If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.

40 Anofanira kubatwa somushandi wamaricho kana kuti mushanyi ari pakati penyu; anofanira kukushandirai kusvikira Gore reJubhiri.

Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

41 Ipapo iye navana vake vanofanira kusunungurwa, uye achadzokera kurudzi rwake nokuzvinhu zvamadzitateguru ake.

Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.

42 Nokuti vaIsraeri varanda vangu vandakabudisa kubva muIjipiti, havafaniri kutengeswa senhapwa.

Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

43 Musavatonga neutsinye, asi ityai Mwari wenyu.

You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.

44 “‘Nhapwa dzenyu dzechirume nedzechikadzi dzinofanira kubva mundudzi dzakakukomberedzai; munogona kutenga nhapwa kubva kwavari.

Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.

45 Munogona kutengawo vatorwa vashanyi vagere pakati penyu nemhuri dzavo dzakaberekerwa munyika yenyu, uye vachava pfuma yenyu.

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 Munogona kuvaita nhaka yavana venyu uye kuvaita nhapwa kweupenyu hwavo hwose, asi hamufaniri kutonga vamwe vaIsraeri zvakaomarara.

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 “‘Mutorwa kana mushanyi pakati penyu akava mupfumi, uye mumwe wavanhu venyika yenyu akava murombo akazvitengesa kumutorwa agere pakati penyu, kana kumhuri yomutorwa,

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 anoramba ane mvumo yokudzikinurwa mushure mokunge azvitengesa. Mumwe wehama dzake anogona kumudzikinura:

he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:

49 Babamunini vake kana mwanakomana wababamunini vake, kana hama yake yapedyo worudzi rwake angamudzikinura.

either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.

50 Iye neanomutenga vanofanira kuverenga nguva kubva pagore raakazvitengesa kusvikira paGore reJubhiri. Mutengo wokusunungurwa kwake unofanira kuenzaniswa nemari inoripwa mushandi wemaricho kwamakore iwayo.

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 Kana kuchine makore akawanda asara, anofanira kuripira rudzikinuro rwake, chikamu chikuru chemari yaakaripirwa.

If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.

52 Kana kwasara makore mashoma shoma Gore reJubhiri risati rasvika, anofanira kurangana naye agodzosera mari yorudzikinuro rwake zvichienzaniswa namakore ake.

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 Anofanira kubatwa somushandi wemaricho gore rimwe nerimwe; munofanira kuona kuti tenzi wake haamutongi zvakaomarara.

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 “‘Kunyange zvake asina kudzikinurwa neimwe yenzira idzi, iye navana vake vanofanira kusunungurwa mugore reJubhiri,

Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.

55 nokuti vaIsraeri ndevangu savaranda vangu. Varanda vangu vandakabudisa kubva muIjipiti. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

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.
