3 Mose 25
1 Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se,
And the Lord spak to Moises in the hil of Synai,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ mudu asase a mede rebɛma mo no so a, mfe ason biara, momma asase no nya Awurade mu homeda.
and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seye to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond which Y schal yyue to you, `the erthe kepe the sabat of the Lord;
3 Momfa mfe asia nnua mo nnɔbae wɔ mo mfuw mu na munyiyi mo bobe nturo mu na muntwa mo nnɔbae.
sixe yeeris thou schalt sowe thi feeld, and sixe yeeris thou schalt kitte thi vyner, and thou schalt gadere the fruytis ther of;
4 Na mfe ason so no, asase no nna hɔ kwa wɔ Awurade anim. Monnyɛ so hwee. Munnnua so aba. Afe no nyinaa mu, munnyiyi mo bobe nturo no mu.
forsothe in the seuenthe yeer schal be sabat of the erthe of the restyng of the Lord;
5 Na aba biara a ebefifi no, monntew mfa, na bobe no nso, mommmoaboa ano mfa. Efisɛ ɛyɛ afe a ɛsɛ sɛ asase no home.
thou schalt not sowe the feeld, and thou schalt not kitte the vyner, thou schalt not repe tho thingis whiche the erthe bryngith forth `bi fre wille, and thou schalt not gadere the grapis of thi firste fruytis, as vyndage; for it is the yeer of restyng of the lond; but tho schulen be to you in to mete,
6 Nanso aba biara a asase no bɛma saa afe no bɛyɛ aduan ama wo ne wʼakoa, wʼafenaa, wo paani ne wo hɔho,
to thee, and to thi seruaunt, to thin handmaide, and to thin hirid man, and to the comelyng which is a pilgrym at thee; alle thingis that `comen forth,
7 wo nyɛmmoa ne wuram mmoa a ɛwɔ asase no so nyinaa. Munni biribiara a asase no bɛma biara.
schulen yyue mete to thi werk beestis and smale beestis.
8 “‘Bubu Homeda mfe ason, mfe ason ahorow ason, na wubenya mfe aduanan akron.
Also thou schalt noumbre to thee seuene woukis of yeeris, that is, seuene sithes seuene, whiche togidere maken nyn and fourti yeer;
9 Afei, ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da du no yɛ Mpata Da. Monhyɛn torobɛnto wɔ baabiara. Mpata Da no, monhyɛn torobɛnto no denneennen nkyɛ wɔ ɔman no mu baabiara.
and thou schalt sowne with a clarioun in the seuenthe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, in the tyme of propiciacioun, `that is, merci, in al youre lond.
10 Montew mfe aduonum no ho na mompae ahofadi mma wɔn a wɔtete asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Ɛbɛyɛ mfirihyia aduonum afahyɛ ama mo, na mo mu biara bɛsan akɔ asase a wɔde ama mo agyanom no so, na moakɔka mo abusuafo ho.
And thou schalt halewe the fiftithe yeer, and thou schalt clepe remissioun to alle the dwellers of thi lond; for thilke yeer is iubilee; a man schal turne ayen to hys possessioun, and ech man schal go ayen to the firste meynee,
11 Mfe aduonum so no bɛyɛ mfirihyia aduonum afahyɛ ama mo; munnnua biribiara na munntwa nnɔbae biara, na bobe a moadua nso, monntew so aba.
for it is iubilee, and the fiftithe yeer. Ye schulen not sowe, nether ye schulen repe thingis, that comen forth freli in the feeld, and ye schulen not gadere the firste fruytis of vyndage, for the halewyng of iubilee;
12 Efisɛ ɛyɛ mfirihyia aduonum afahyɛ, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ sononko na ɛho tew. Munni nea munya fi asase no mu nko ara.
but anoon ye schulen ete thingis takun awey;
13 “‘Saa mfirihyia aduonum afahyɛ yi, obiara bɛkɔ asase a wɔde maa nʼagyanom no so.
in the yeer of iubilee alle men go ayen to her possessiouns.
14 “‘Sɛ wo ne wo yɔnko yɛ nhyehyɛe a wonam so retɔ anaa woretɔn agyapade bi a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obi sisi ne yɔnko.
Whanne thou schalt sille ony thing to thi citeseyn, ether schalt bie of hym, make thou not sory thi brother, but bi the noumbre of `yeeris of iubile thou schalt bie of him,
15 Sɛ woretɔ asase afi wo yɔnko nkyɛn a, mobɛkan mfe dodow no so fa afi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ a etwaa mu no. Ɔdetɔnfo no begye wo bo a egyina mfe dodow a aka ansa na mfirihyia aduonum afahyɛ a ɛreba no.
and bi the rekenyng of fruytis he schal sille to thee.
16 Mfe no dodow na ɛma ɛbo no kɔ soro. Saa ara nso na mfe kakra bi ma ɛbo no kɔ fam. Eyinom nyinaa mu no, onipa a ɔretɔn asase no retɔn otwa dodow a wobetwa afi asase no so.
Bi as myche as mo yeeris dwellen after the iubilee, by so myche also the prijs schal encreesse, and bi as myche as thou noumbrist lesse of tyme, bi so myche and the biyng schal cost lesse; for he schal sille to thee the time of fruytis.
17 Munsuro mo Nyankopɔn na obi ansisi ne yɔnko. Na mene Awurade.
Nyle ye turment men of youre lynagis, but ech man drede his God; for Y am youre Lord God.
18 “‘Sɛ mopɛ sɛ motena asase no so asomdwoe mu de a, munni me mmara so.
Do ye my comaundementis, and kepe ye my domes, and fille ye tho, that ye moun dwelle in his lond without ony drede,
19 Sɛ moyɛ osetie a, aduan bebu so wɔ asase no so na moadi amee wɔ asomdwoe mu.
and that the erthe brynge forth hise fruytis to you, whiche ye schulen ete `til to fulnesse, and drede not the assailyng of ony man.
20 Mubebisa se, “Na sɛ wose yennnua anaa yenntwa saa afe no so a, dɛn na yebedi wɔ mfe ason no so no?”
That if ye seien, what schulen we ete in the seuenthe yeer, if we sowen not, nether gaderen oure fruytis?
21 Mmuae ara ne sɛ, mfe asia no so, mehyira mo ama nnɔbae aba abu so kosi sɛ mubetwa mfe awotwe mu nnɔbae no.
Y schal yyue my blessyng to you in the sixte yeer, and it schal make fruytis of three yeer;
22 Sɛ mudua nnɔbae wɔ mfe awotwe no mu a, mobɛkɔ so adi afe a etwaa mu no mu nnuan. Nokware, nnuan dedaw no na mubedi akosi sɛ otwabere bedu so mfe akron no mu.
and ye schulen sowe in the eiyte yeer, and ye schulen ete elde fruytis `til to the nynthe yeer; til newe thingis comen forth ye schulen ete the elde thingis.
23 “‘Na monkae sɛ asase no yɛ me dea enti munni ho kwan sɛ motɔn no afebɔɔ. Moyɛ ahɔho na meyɛ asase wura ma mo.
Also the lond schal not be seeld `in to with outen ende, for it is myn, and ye ben my comelyngis and tenauntis;
24 Asasetɔn mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ asasetɔnfo no tumi san begye asase no bere biara.
wherfor al the cuntre of youre possessioun schal be seeld vndur the condicioun of ayenbiyng.
25 “‘Sɛ ohia hia obi ma ɔtɔn nʼasase fa bi a, nʼabusuafo tumi begye.
If thi brother is maad pore, and sillith his litil possessioun, and his nyy kynesman wole, he may ayenbie that that he seelde;
26 Sɛ onni obi a obegye ama no na sɛ ɔno ankasa nya sika a,
sotheli if he hath no nyy kynesman, and he may fynde prijs to ayenbie,
27 wɔbɛsese ɛso nnɔbae a wɔatwa ansa na Ahosɛpɛw Afe no reba na wɔagyina so atua ka no, na nea ɔtɔe no nso adan asase no ama no.
the fruytis schulen be rekynyd fro that tyme in which he seelde, and he schal yelde `that that is residue to the biere, and he schal resseyue so his possessioun.
28 Na sɛ nea asase no yɛ ne de no ankasa antumi annye a, ɛno de, ɛbɛyɛ nea ɔtɔ no dea ara kosi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no, na nea ɔtɔe no de onipa no ade asan ama no.
That if his hond fynde not, that he yelde the prijs, the biere schal haue that that he bouyte, `til to the yeer of iubilee; for in that yeer ech sillyng schal go ayen to the lord, and to the firste weldere.
29 “‘Sɛ obi tɔn ofi wɔ kurom a, ɔwɔ afe a otumi san gye nʼade a biribiara nsiw no ho kwan.
He that sillith his hows, with ynne the wallis of a citee, schal haue licence to ayenbie til o yeer be fillid;
30 Na sɛ afe no mu wantumi annye a, ɛbɛyɛ nea ɔtɔe no de korakora. Ɔrensan mfa mma onipa a kan no na ɛyɛ ne dea no wɔ Ahosɛpɛw Afe no mu.
if he ayenbieth not, and the sercle of the yeer is passid, the biere schal welde it, and his eiris `in to with outen ende, and it schal not mow be ayenbouyt, ye, in the iubilee.
31 Nanso akuraa dan a wɔntoo ɔfasu ntwaa ho nhyiae te sɛ agyapade a ɛwɔ wuram de, wotumi san kogye no bere biara, na Mfe Aduonum Afahyɛ mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de ma ne wura ankasa.
Forsothe if the hows is in a town `that hath not wallis, it schal be seeld bi the lawe of feeldis; sotheli if it is not ayenbouyt in the iubilee, it schal turne ayen to `his lord.
32 “‘Asɛm baako bi na ɛnka ho. Lewifo afi a ɛwɔ nkurow a wɔde afasu atwa ho mu no, wotumi san gye no bere biara.
The howsis of dekenes, that ben in citees, moun euer be ayenbouyt; if tho ben not ayenbouyt,
33 Enti Lewifo de, wotumi gye wɔn agyapade; wɔn kurow biara mu ofi a wɔtɔnee, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdan ma wɔn wuranom wɔ Ahosɛpɛw Afe no mu, efisɛ afi no yɛ wɔn dea.
tho schulen turne ayen in the iubilee `to the lordis; for the `howsis of the citees of dekenes ben for possessiouns among the sones of Israel;
34 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn nsase a atwa Lewifo no nkurow ho ahyia, efisɛ eyinom yɛ wɔn agyapade afebɔɔ a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔne obiara kyɛ.
forsothe the suburbabis of hem schulen not be seeld, for it is euerlastynge possessioun.
35 “‘Sɛ ohia hia wo nua a, ɛsɛ sɛ woboa no; ma no mmra ma ɔmmɛtena hɔ bi.
If thi brother is maad pore, and feble in power, and thou resseyuest hym as a comelyng and pilgrym, and he lyueth with thee,
36 Suro wo Nyankopɔn na ma wo nua ntena wo nkyɛn; na sɛ wobɔ no bosea a, nnye no ho mfɛntom.
take thou not vsuris of hym, nether more than thou hast youe; drede thou thi God, that thi brothir mai lyue anentis thee.
37 Kae sɛ worennye ho mfɛntom biara; na ma no biribiara a ɛho hia no na ɛnyɛ wo ka. Mpɛ mfaso!
Thou schalt not yyue to hym thi money to vsure, and thou schalt not axe ouer `aboundaunce, ether encrees ouer of fruytis;
38 Efisɛ me Awurade a meyɛ mo Nyankopɔn no yii mo fii Misraim de Kanaan asase maa mo sɛnea mɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn.
Y am youre Lord God, that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde yyue to you the lond of Canaan, and that Y schulde be youre God.
39 “‘Sɛ ohia hia wo yɔnko Israelni na ɔtɔn ne ho ma wo a, nhyɛ ne so sɛ ɔdɔnkɔ;
If thi brother compellid bi pouert sillith hym silf to thee, thou schalt not oppresse hym bi seruage of seruauntis,
40 na mmom, yɛ no sɛ obi a wutua no ne som a ɔsom ho ka, anaa fa no sɛ wo hɔho na ɔnsom wo nkosi Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no.
but he schal be as an hirid man and tenaunt; `til to the yeer of iubilee he schal worche at thee,
41 Edu saa bere no a, ɔne ne mma nyinaa tumi tu de wɔn agyapade nyinaa kɔ wɔn abusuafo nkyɛn.
and aftirward he schal go out with his fre children, and he schal turne ayen to the kynrede, and to `the possessioun of his fadris.
42 Efisɛ Israelfo no yɛ mʼasomfo a mede wɔn fi Misraim asase so bae; ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn wɔn sɛ nkoa.
For thei ben my seruauntis, and Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt; thei schulen not be seeld bi the condicioun of seruauntis;
43 Mommfa atirimɔden nni wɔn so; munsuro mo Nyankopɔn.
turmente thou not hem bi thi power, but drede thou thi Lord.
44 “‘Nanso mubetumi atɔ asomfo afi aman afoforo a atwa mo ho ahyia no so.
A seruaunt and handmaide be to you of naciouns that ben in youre cumpas,
45 Saa ara nso na mutumi tɔ ahɔho a mo ne wɔn te no mma a ɛmfa ho sɛ wɔte mo mu.
and of comelyngis that ben pilgrimys at you, ether thei that ben borun of hem in youre lond; ye schulen haue these seruauntis,
46 Mubetumi ayɛ wɔn nkoa afebɔɔ ama mo ne mo nkyirimma, nanso mo nuanom Israelfo no de, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ wɔn saa.
and bi riyt of eritage ye schulen `sende ouer to aftir comeris, and ye schulen welde with outen ende; sothely oppresse ye not bi power youre britheren, the sones of Israel.
47 “‘Sɛ ɔhɔho a ɔte mo mu no bɛyɛ ɔdefo, na sɛ Israelni di hia, na ɔtɔn ne ho ma ɔhɔho no anaa ɔhɔho no abusuafo a,
If the hond of a comelyng and of a pilgrim wexith strong at you, and thi brother is maad pore, and sillith hym silf to hym,
48 ɔwɔ kwan sɛ wogye no wɔ ne tɔn akyi; ne nuanom bi tumi begye no.
ether to ony of his kyn, he may be ayenbouyt aftir the sillyng; he that wole of hise britheren, ayenbie hym; bothe `the brother of fadir,
49 Saa ara nso na ne wɔfa, ne wɔfaase anaa ne ho nipa bi a ɔbɛn no tumi gye no ara ne no. Sɛ ɔno ara nso benya sika a, otumi de begye ne ho.
and the sone of `the fadris brother, and kynesman, and alye. Ellis if also he schal mow, he schal ayenbie hym silf,
50 Ne ho a obegye no gyina mfe a aka na Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no adu ne sika dodow a sɛ anka wɔde kɔfaa ɔsomfo a, anka obegye saa mfe a aka no mu no so.
while the yeeris ben rykenid oneli fro the tyme of his sillyng `til in to the yeer of iubylee; and while the money, for which he was seeld, is rikenyd bi the noumbre of yeeris, and while the hire of an hirid man is rikenyd.
51 Sɛ aka mfe pii ansa na Ahosɛpɛw Afe no aso a, obetua sika a ogyee wɔ bere a ɔtɔn ne ho no nyinaa.
If mo yeeris ben that dwellen `til to the iubilee, bi these yeeris he schal yelde also the prijs; if fewe yeeris ben,
52 Sɛ mfe no pii atwam ama aka kakra na Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no adu a, ɛno de, obetua sika a ogyee bere a ɔtɔn ne ho no mu kakraa bi.
he schal sette rikenyng with hym bi the noumbre of yeeris;
53 Sɛ ɔtɔn ne ho ma ɔhɔho a, ɔhɔho no bɛfa no sɛ ne somfo a otua no ka. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔfa no sɛ ne somfo koraa anaa nʼagyapade.
and he schal yeelde to the biere that that is residue of yeeris, while tho yeeris, bi whiche he seruyde bifore, ben rikenyd for hiris; he schal not turmente `that Ebreu violentli in thi siyt.
54 “‘Sɛ Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du na wonnyee no a, wobegyaa ɔne ne mma nyinaa,
That if he may not be ayenbouyt bi this, he schal go out with his free children in the `yeer of iubilee; for the sones of Israel ben myn seruauntis,
55 efisɛ wɔyɛ mʼasomfo. Mede wɔn fi Misraim na ɛbae. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.
whiche Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt.
