Leviticus 25

1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose ní orí òkè Sinai pé,

And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:

2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí o sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ bá dé ilẹ̀ náà tí èmi ó fi fún yín, ilẹ̀ náà gbọdọ̀ sinmi fún Olúwa.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.

3 Ọdún mẹ́fà ni ìwọ ó fi gbin oko rẹ, ọdún mẹ́fà ni ìwọ ó fi tọ́jú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ, tí ìwọ ó sì fi kó èso wọn jọ.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:

4 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún keje kí ilẹ̀ náà ní ìsinmi: ìsinmi fún Olúwa. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tọ́jú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ.

But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

5 Ẹ má ṣe kórè ohun tí ó tìkára rẹ̀ hù, ẹ má ṣe kórè èso àjàrà ọgbà tí ẹ ò tọ́jú. Ilẹ̀ náà gbọdọ̀ ní ìsinmi fún ọdún kan.

What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to the land:

6 Ohunkóhun tí ilẹ̀ náà bá mú jáde ní ọdún ìsinmi ni yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún yín àní fún ẹ̀yin tìkára yín, àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin yín, àwọn alágbàṣe àti àwọn tí ń gbé pẹ̀lú yín fún ìgbà díẹ̀.

But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:

7 Fún àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn yín, àti àwọn ẹranko búburú ní ilẹ̀ yín. Ohunkóhun tí ilẹ̀ náà bá mú jáde ní ẹ lè jẹ.

All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.

8 “‘Ọdún ìsinmi méje èyí tí í ṣe ọdún mọ́kàndínláàádọ́ta ni kí ẹ kà.

Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:

9 Lẹ́yìn náà, kí ẹ fọn fèrè ní gbogbo ibikíbi ní ọjọ́ kẹwàá oṣù keje ní ọjọ́ ìwẹ̀nùmọ́. Ní ọjọ́ ètùtù yìí, ẹ fọn fèrè yíká gbogbo ilẹ̀ yín.

And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.

10 Ẹ ya àádọ́ta ọdún náà sọ́tọ̀ kí ẹ sì kéde òmìnira fún gbogbo ẹni tí ń gbé ilẹ̀ náà. Yóò jẹ́ ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ fún yín. Kí olúkúlùkù padà sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ àti sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.

And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:

11 Àádọ́ta ọdún ni yóò jẹ́ ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ fún yín. Ẹ má ṣe gbin ohunkóhun, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ kórè ohun tí ó hù fúnra rẹ̀ tàbí kí ẹ kórè ọgbà àjàrà tí ẹ kò dá.

Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,

12 Torí pé ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ ni ó sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ fún yín. Ẹ jẹ ohun tí ẹ mú jáde nínú oko náà.

Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.

13 “‘Ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ yìí, kí olúkúlùkù gbà ohun ìní rẹ̀ padà.

In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.

14 “‘Bí ẹ bá ta ilẹ̀ fún ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn yín tàbí bí ẹ bá ra èyíkéyìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe rẹ́ ara yín jẹ.

When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.

15 Kí ẹ ra ilẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn yín ní gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye owó tí ó kù kí ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ pé, kí òun náà sì ta ilẹ̀ fún yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ọdún rẹ̀ tókù láti kórè.

And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.

16 Bí iye ọdún rẹ̀ bá gùn, kí iye owó rẹ̀ pọ̀, bí iye ọdún rẹ̀ bá kúrú, kí iye owó rẹ̀ kéré, torí pé ohun tí ó tà gan an ní iye èso rẹ̀.

The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.

17 Ẹ má ṣe rẹ́ ara yín jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run. Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.

Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

18 “‘Ẹ tẹ̀lé àwọn ìlànà mi, kí ẹ sì kíyèsi láti pa òfin mi mọ́, kí ẹ ba à le máa gbé láìléwu ní ilẹ̀ náà.

Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,

19 Nígbà yìí ni ilẹ̀ náà yóò so èso rẹ̀, ẹ ó sì jẹ àjẹyó, ẹ ó sì máa gbé láìléwu.

And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.

20 Ẹ le béèrè pé, “Kí ni àwa ó jẹ ní ọdún keje, bí a kò bá gbin èso tí a kò sì kórè?”

But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?

21 Èmi ó pèsè ìbùkún sórí yín tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ yín yóò so èso tó tó fún ọdún mẹ́ta lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.

I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:

22 Bí ẹ bá gbin èso yín ní ọdún kẹjọ, àwọn èso ti tẹ́lẹ̀ ní ẹ ó máa jẹ, títí tí ìkórè ti ọdún kẹsànán yóò fi dé.

And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.

23 “‘Ẹ má ṣe ta ilẹ̀ yín ní àtàpa torí pé ẹ̀yin kọ́ lẹ ni ín, ti Ọlọ́run ni, ẹ̀yin jẹ́ àjèjì àti ayálégbé.

The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.

24 Ní gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ìní yín, ẹ fi ààyè sílẹ̀ fún ìràpadà ilẹ̀ náà.

For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.

25 “‘Bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn yín bá tálákà, dé bi pé ó ta ara àwọn ẹrù rẹ̀, kí ará ilé rẹ̀ tí ó súnmọ́ ọ ra ohun tí ó tà padà.

If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.

26 Ẹni tí kò ní ẹni tó lè rà á padà fún un, tí òun fúnra rẹ̀ sì ti lọ́rọ̀, tí ó sì ní ànító láti rà á.

But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:

27 Kí ó mọ iye owó tí ó jẹ fún iye ọdún tí ó tà á, kí ó dá iye tí ó kù padà fún ẹni tí ó tà á fún, lẹ́yìn náà, ó lè padà sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀.

The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.

28 Ṣùgbọ́n bí kò bá rí ọ̀nà àti san án padà fún un. Ohun tí ó tà wà ní ìkáwọ́ ẹni tí ó rà á títí di ọdún ìdásílẹ̀. Kí ó dá a padà fún ẹni tí ó ni i ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀, ẹni tí ó ni í tẹ́lẹ̀ lè tún padà gbà ohun ìní rẹ̀.

But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.

29 “‘Bí arákùnrin kan bá ta ilé gbígbé kan ní ìlú olódi, kí ó rà á padà ní ìwọ̀n ọdún kan sí àkókò tí ó tà á, ní ìwọ̀n ọdún kan ni kí ó rà á padà.

He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:

30 Ṣùgbọ́n bí kò bá rà á padà láàrín ọdún náà ilé náà tí ó wà láàrín ìlú ni kí ó yọ̀ǹda pátápátá fún ẹni tí ó rà á, àti àwọn ìdílé rẹ̀. Kí wọ́n má da padà ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀.

If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.

31 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ilé tí ó wà ní abúlé láìní odi ni kí a kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ oko, a lè rà wọ́n padà, kí wọ́n sì da padà ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀.

But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.

32 “‘Àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní ẹ̀tọ́, nígbàkígbà láti ra ilẹ̀ wọn, tí ó jẹ́ ohun ìní wọn ní àwọn ìlú tí ó jẹ́ ti ọmọ Lefi.

The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:

33 Torí náà ohun ìní àwọn ọmọ Lefi ni wọ́n rà padà, fún àpẹẹrẹ, èyí ni pé ilẹ̀ tí a bá tà ní ìlúkílùú tí ó jẹ́ tiwọn, ó sì gbọdọ̀ di dídápadà ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀, torí pé àwọn ilẹ̀ tí ó wà ní ìlú àwọn Lefi ni ìní wọn láàrín àwọn ará Israẹli.

If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.

34 Ṣùgbọ́n ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti ń da ẹran tí ó jẹ́ ti ìlú wọn, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ tà wọ́n, ilẹ̀ ìní wọn láéláé ni.

But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.

35 “‘Bí arákùnrin yín kan bá tálákà tí kò sì le è pèsè fún àìní ara rẹ̀, ẹ pèsè fún un bí ẹ ti ń ṣe fún àwọn àlejò tàbí àwọn tí ẹ gbà sílé: kí ó ba à le è máa gbé láàrín yín.

If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,

36 Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ gba èlé kankan lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa kí arákùnrin yín le è máa gbé láàrín yín.

Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.

37 Ẹ má ṣe gba èlé lórí owó tí ẹ yá a bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ èrè lórí oúnjẹ tí ẹ tà fún un.

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.

38 Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó mú yín jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti láti fún yín ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani àti láti jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.

39 “‘Bí arákùnrin yín kan bá tálákà dé bi pé ó ta ara rẹ̀ fún ọ bí ẹrú. Má ṣe lò ó bí ẹrú.

If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:

40 Jẹ́ kí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ bí alágbàṣe tàbí àlejò láàrín yín, kí ó máa ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ́ títí di ọdún ìdásílẹ̀.

But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,

41 Nígbà náà ni kí ó yọ̀ǹda òun àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, kí wọ́n padà sí ìdílé wọn àti sí ilẹ̀ ìní baba wọn.

And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,

42 Torí pé ìránṣẹ́ mi ni àwọn ará Israẹli jẹ́. Ẹni tí mo mú jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, torí èyí ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ tà wọ́n lẹ́rú.

For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:

43 Ẹ má ṣe rorò mọ́ wọn: ṣùgbọ́n ẹ bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run yín.

Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.

44 “‘Àwọn ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin yín lè jẹ́ láti orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí yín ká, ẹ lè ra àwọn ẹrú wọ̀nyí lọ́wọ́ wọn.

Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.

45 Bákan náà, ẹ sì le è ra àwọn àlejò tí ń gbé láàrín yín, àti àwọn ìdílé wọn tí a bí sáàrín yín. Wọn yóò sì di ohun ìní yín.

And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:

46 Ẹ lè fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ bí ogún fún àwọn ọmọ yín, wọ́n sì lè sọ wọ́n di ẹrú títí láé. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ rorò mọ́ ọmọ Israẹli kankan.

And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.

47 “‘Bí àlejò kan láàrín yín tàbí ẹni tí ń gbé àárín yín fún ìgbà díẹ̀ bá lọ́rọ̀ tí ọmọ Israẹli sì tálákà dé bi pé ó ta ara rẹ̀ lẹ́rú fún àlejò tàbí ìdílé àlejò náà.

If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:

48 Ó lẹ́tọ̀ọ́ si ki a rà á padà lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ta ara rẹ̀. Ọ̀kan nínú ìbátan rẹ̀ le è rà á padà.

After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:

49 Àbúrò baba rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin tàbí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tan nínú ìdílé rẹ̀ le è rà wọ̀n padà. Bí ó bá sì ti lọ́rọ̀, ó lè ra ara rẹ̀ padà.

Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,

50 Kí òun àti olówó rẹ̀ ka iye ọdún tí ó ta ara rẹ̀ títí dé ọdún ìdásílẹ̀ kí iye owó ìdásílẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ iye tí wọ́n ń san lórí alágbàṣe fún iye ọdún náà.

Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,

51 Bí iye ọdún rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ́kù bá pọ̀, kí iye owó fún ìràpadà rẹ̀ pọ̀.

If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.

52 Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé kìkì ọdún díẹ̀ ni ó kù títí di ọdún jubili, kí ó ṣe ìṣirò rẹ̀, kí ó sì san owó náà bí iye ìṣirò rẹ̀ padà.

If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,

53 Bí ẹ ti ń ṣe sí i lọ́dọọdún, ẹ rí i dájú pé olówó rẹ̀ kò korò mọ́ ọ.

His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.

54 “‘Bí a kò bá rà á padà nínú gbogbo ọ̀nà wọ̀nyí, kí ẹ tú òun àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ọdún ìdásílẹ̀.

And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.

55 Nítorí pé ìránṣẹ́ ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́ fún mi. Ìránṣẹ́ mi ni wọ́n, tí mo mú jáde láti Ejibiti wá. Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.

For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
