Leviticus 25

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ قَائِلأ:

And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

«كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهمْ: مَتَى أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ تَسْبِتُ الأَرْضُ سَبْتًا لِلرَّبِّ.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

سِتَّ سِنِينَ تَزْرَعُ حَقْلَكَ، وَسِتَّ سِنِينَ تَقْضِبُ كَرْمَكَ وَتَجْمَعُ غَلَّتَهُمَا.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

وَأَمَّا السَّنَةُ السَّابِعَةُ فَفِيهَا يَكُونُ لِلأَرْضِ سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ، سَبْتًا لِلرَّبِّ. لاَ تَزْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ وَلاَ تَقْضِبْ كَرْمَكَ.

But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

زِرِّيعَ حَصِيدِكَ لاَ تَحْصُدْ، وَعِنَبَ كَرْمِكَ الْمُحْوِلِ لاَ تَقْطِفْ. سَنَةَ عُطْلَةٍ تَكُونُ لِلأَرْضِ.

That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

وَيَكُونُ سَبْتُ الأَرْضِ لَكُمْ طَعَامًا. لَكَ وَلِعَبْدِكَ وَلأَمَتِكَ وَلأَجِيرِكَ وَلِمُسْتَوْطِنِكَ النَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكَ،

And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

وَلِبَهَائِمِكَ وَلِلْحَيَوَانِ الَّذِي فِي أَرْضِكَ تَكُونُ كُلُّ غَلَّتِهَا طَعَامًا.

And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

«وَتَعُدُّ لَكَ سَبْعَةَ سُبُوتِ سِنِينَ. سَبْعَ سِنِينَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. فَتَكُونُ لَكَ أَيَّامُ السَّبْعَةِ السُّبُوتِ السَّنَوِيَّةِ تِسْعًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

ثُمَّ تُعَبِّرُ بُوقَ الْهُتَافِ فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابعِ فِي عَاشِرِ الشَّهْرِ. فِي يَوْمِ الْكَفَّارَةِ تُعَبِّرُونَ الْبُوقَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِكُمْ.

Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

وَتُقَدِّسُونَ السَّنَةَ الْخَمْسِينَ، وَتُنَادُونَ بِالْعِتْقِ فِي الأَرْضِ لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِهَا. تَكُونُ لَكُمْ يُوبِيلاً، وَتَرْجِعُونَ كُلٌّ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ، وَتَعُودُونَ كُلٌّ إِلَى عَشِيرَتِهِ.

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

يُوبِيلاً تَكُونُ لَكُمُ السَّنَةُ الْخَمْسُونَ. لاَ تَزْرَعُوا وَلاَ تَحْصُدُوا زِرِّيعَهَا، وَلاَ تَقْطِفُوا كَرْمَهَا الْمُحْوِلَ.

A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

إِنَّهَا يُوبِيلٌ. مُقَدَّسَةً تَكُونُ لَكُمْ. مِنَ الْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُونَ غَلَّتَهَا.

For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ هذِهِ تَرْجِعُونَ كُلٌّ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ.

In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

فَمَتَى بِعْتَ صَاحِبَكَ مَبِيعًا، أَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ مِنْ يَدِ صَاحِبِكَ، فَلاَ يَغْبِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ.

And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

حَسَبَ عَدَدِ السِّنِينَ بَعْدَ الْيُوبِيلِ تَشْتَرِي مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ، وَحَسَبَ سِنِي الْغَلَّةِ يَبِيعُكَ.

According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

عَلَى قَدْرِ كَثْرَةِ السِّنِينَ تُكَثِّرُ ثَمَنَهُ، وَعَلَى قَدْرِ قِلَّةِ السِّنِينَ تُقَلِّلُ ثَمَنَهُ، لأَنَّهُ عَدَدَ الْغَلاَّتِ يَبِيعُكَ.

According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

فَلاَ يَغْبِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ، بَلِ اخْشَ إِلهَكَ. إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

فَتَعْمَلُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَتَحْفَظُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا لِتَسْكُنُوا عَلَى الأَرْضِ آمِنِينَ.

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

وَتُعْطِي الأَرْضُ ثَمَرَهَا فَتَأْكُلُونَ لِلشِّبَعِ، وَتَسْكُنُونَ عَلَيْهَا آمِنِينَ.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ: مَاذَا نَأْكُلُ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ إِنْ لَمْ نَزْرَعْ وَلَمْ نَجْمَعْ غَلَّتَنَا؟

And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

فَإِنِّي آمُرُ بِبَرَكَتِي لَكُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ، فَتَعْمَلُ غَلَّةً لِثَلاَثِ سِنِينَ.

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

فَتَزْرَعُونَ السَّنَةَ الثَّامِنَةَ وَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ الْعَتِيقَةِ إِلَى السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ. إِلَى أَنْ تَأْتِيَ غَلَّتُهَا تَأْكُلُونَ عَتِيقًا.

And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

«وَالأَرْضُ لاَ تُبَاعُ بَتَّةً، لأَنَّ لِيَ الأَرْضَ، وَأَنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلاَءُ عِنْدِي.

The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مُلْكِكُمْ تَجْعَلُونَ فِكَاكًا لِلأَرْضِ.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

إِذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فَبَاعَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، يَأْتِي وَلِيُّهُ الأَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَفُكُّ مَبِيعَ أَخِيهِ.

If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ، فَإِنْ نَالَتْ يَدُهُ وَوَجَدَ مِقْدَارَ فِكَاكِهِ،

And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

يَحْسُبُ سِنِي بَيْعِهِ، وَيَرُدُّ الْفَاضِلَ لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي بَاعَ لَهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ.

Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

وَإِنْ لَمْ تَنَلْ يَدُهُ كِفَايَةً لِيَرُدَّ لَهُ، يَكُونُ مَبِيعُهُ فِي يَدِ شَارِيهِ إِلَى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فِي الْيُوبِيلِ فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ.

But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

«وَإِذَا بَاعَ إِنْسَانٌ بَيْتَ سَكَنٍ فِي مَدِينَةٍ ذَاتِ سُورٍ، فَيَكُونُ فِكَاكُهُ إِلَى تَمَامِ سَنَةِ بَيْعِهِ. سَنَةً يَكُونُ فِكَاكُهُ.

And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

وَإِنْ لَمْ يُفَكَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكْمُلَ لَهُ سَنَةٌ تَامَّةٌ، وَجَبَ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتِ السُّورِ بَتَّةً لِشَارِيهِ فِي أَجْيَالِهِ. لاَ يَخْرُجُ فِي الْيُوبِيلِ.

And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

لكِنَّ بُيُوتَ الْقُرَى الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا سُورٌ حَوْلَهَا، فَمَعَ حُقُولِ الأَرْضِ تُحْسَبُ. يَكُونُ لَهَا فِكَاكٌ، وَفِي الْيُوبِيلِ تَخْرُجُ.

But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

وَأَمَّا مُدُنُ اللاَّوِيِّينَ، بُيُوتُ مُدُنِ مُلْكِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُ لَهَا فِكَاكٌ مُؤَبَّدٌ لِلاَّوِيِّينَ.

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

وَالَّذِي يَفُكُّهُ مِنَ اللاََّوِيِّينَ الْمَبِيعَ مِنْ بَيْتٍ أَوْ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ مُلْكِهِ يَخْرُجُ فِي الْيُوبِيلِ، لأَنَّ بُيُوتَ مُدُنِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ هِيَ مُلْكُهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

وَأَمَّا حُقُولُ الْمَسَارِحِ لِمُدُنِهِمْ فَلاَ تُبَاعُ، لأَنَّهَا مُلْكٌ دَهْرِيٌّ لَهُمْ.

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

«وَإِذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَقَصُرَتْ يَدُهُ عِنْدَكَ، فَاعْضُدْهُ غَرِيبًا أَوْ مُسْتَوْطِنًا فَيَعِيشَ مَعَكَ.

And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

لاَ تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ رِبًا وَلاَ مُرَابَحَةً، بَلِ اخْشَ إِلهَكَ، فَيَعِيشَ أَخُوكَ مَعَكَ.

Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

فِضَّتَكَ لاَ تُعْطِهِ بِالرِّبَا، وَطَعَامَكَ لاَ تُعْطِ بِالْمُرَابَحَةِ.

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيُعْطِيَكُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلهًا.

I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

«وَإِذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ عِنْدَكَ وَبِيعَ لَكَ، فَلاَ تَسْتَعْبِدْهُ اسْتِعْبَادَ عَبْدٍ.

And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

كَأَجِيرٍ، كَنَزِيل يَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ. إِلَى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ يَخْدِمُ عِنْدَكَ،

But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:

ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ مَعَهُ وَيَعُودُ إِلَى عَشِيرَتِهِ، وَإِلَى مُلْكِ آبَائِهِ يَرْجِعُ.

And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

لأَنَّهُمْ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لاَ يُبَاعُونَ بَيْعَ الْعَبِيدِ.

For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

لاَ تَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ بِعُنْفٍ، بَلِ اخْشَ إِلهَكَ.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

وَأَمَّا عَبِيدُكَ وَإِمَاؤُكَ الَّذِينَ يَكُونُونَ لَكَ، فَمِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ. مِنْهُمْ تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً.

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

وَأَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ النَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكُمْ، مِنْهُمْ تَقْتَنُونَ وَمِنْ عَشَائِرِهِمِ الَّذِينَ عِنْدَكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَلِدُونَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ مُلْكًا لَكُمْ.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

وَتَسْتَمْلِكُونَهُمْ لأَبْنَائِكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ مِيرَاثَ مُلْكٍ. تَسْتَعْبِدُونَهُمْ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُكُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلاَ يَتَسَلَّطْ إِنْسَانٌ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بِعُنْفٍ.

And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

«وَإِذَا طَالَتْ يَدُ غَرِيبٍ أَوْ نَزِيل عِنْدَكَ، وَافْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ عِنْدَهُ وَبِيعَ لِلْغَرِيبِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِ عِنْدَكَ أَوْ لِنَسْلِ عَشِيرَةِ الْغَرِيبِ،

And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

فَبَعْدَ بَيْعِهِ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِكَاكٌ. يَفُكُّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ،

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

أَوْ يَفُكُّهُ عَمُّهُ أَوِ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ، أَوْ يَفُكُّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ جَسَدِهِ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا نَالَتْ يَدُهُ يَفُكُّ نَفْسَهُ.

Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

فَيُحَاسِبُ شَارِيَهُ مِنْ سَنَةِ بَيْعِهِ لَهُ إِلَى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، وَيَكُونُ ثَمَنُ بَيْعِهِ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ السِّنِينَ. كَأَيَّامِ أَجِيرٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ.

And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

إِنْ بَقِيَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ السِّنِينِ فَعَلَى قَدْرِهَا يَرُدُّ فِكَاكَهُ مِنْ ثَمَنِ شِرَائِهِ.

If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

وَإِنْ بَقِيَ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ السِّنِينَ إِلَى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ يَحْسُبُ لَهُ وَعَلَى قَدْرِ سِنِيهِ يَرُدُّ فِكَاكَهُ.

And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

كَأَجِيرٍ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ. لاَ يَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ بِعُنْفٍ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

وَإِنْ لَمْ يُفَكَّ بِهؤُلاَءِ، يَخْرُجُ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ مَعَهُ،

And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي عَبِيدٌ. هُمْ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ.

For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
