Leviticus 25

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in monte Sinai dicens

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

loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis sabbatizet sabbatum Domini

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.

sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius

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

septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terrae requietionis Domini agrum non seres et vineam non putabis

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.

quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae est

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.

sed erunt vobis in cibum tibi et servo tuo ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae qui peregrinantur apud te

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,

iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum

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

numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem

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.

et clanges bucina mense septimo decima die mensis propitiationis tempore in universa terra vestra

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.

sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terrae tuae ipse est enim iobeleus revertetur homo ad possessionem suam et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam

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.

quia iobeleus est et quinquagesimus annus non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia et primitias vindemiae non colligetis

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.

ob sanctificationem iobelei sed statim ablata comedetis

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

anno iobelei redient omnes ad possessiones suas

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

quando vendes quippiam civi tuo vel emes ab eo ne contristes fratrem tuum sed iuxta numerum annorum iobelei emes ab eo

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

et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi

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:

quanto plus anni remanserint post iobeleum tanto crescet et pretium et quanto minus temporis numeraveris tanto minoris et emptio constabit tempus enim frugum vendet tibi

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.

nolite adfligere contribules vestros sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum quia ego Dominus Deus vester

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

facite praecepta mea et iudicia custodite et implete ea ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore

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

et gignat vobis humus fructus suos quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem nullius impetum formidantes

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

quod si dixeritis quid comedemus anno septimo si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras

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

dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto et faciet fructus trium annorum

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

seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum donec nova nascantur edetis vetera

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.

terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum quia mea est et vos advenae et coloni mei estis

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

unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione vendetur

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

si adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam et voluerit propinquus eius potest redimere quod ille vendiderat

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.

sin autem non habuerit proximum et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire

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

conputabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit et quod reliquum est reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam

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.

quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium habebit emptor quod emerat usque ad annum iobeleum in ipso enim omnis venditio redit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum

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.

qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus

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.

si non redemerit et anni circulus fuerit evolutus emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo

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.

sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum

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.

aedes Levitarum quae in urbibus sunt semper possunt redimi

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

si redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel

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.

suburbana autem eorum non venient quia possessio sempiterna est

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

si adtenuatus fuerit frater tuus et infirmus manu et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum et vixerit tecum

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.

ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti time Deum tuum ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te

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

pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram et frugum superabundantiam non exiges

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

ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut darem vobis terram Chanaan et essem vester Deus

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.

si paupertate conpulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus non eum opprimes servitute famulorum

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:

sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te

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

et postea egredietur cum liberis suis et revertetur ad cognationem et ad possessionem patrum suorum

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.

mei enim servi sunt et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti non venient condicione servorum

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

ne adfligas eum per potentiam sed metuito Deum tuum

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

servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quae in circuitu vestro sunt

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.

et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra hos habebitis famulos

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.

et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum fratres autem vestros filios Israhel ne opprimatis per potentiam

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.

si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini et adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius

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:

post venditionem potest redimi qui voluerit ex fratribus suis redimet eum

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

et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et adfinis sin autem et ipse potuerit redimet se

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.

supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suae usque ad annum iobeleum et pecunia qua venditus fuerat iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii supputata

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.

si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iobeleum secundum hos reddet et pretium

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.

si pauci ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum

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.

quibus ante servivit mercedibus inputatis non adfliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo

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

quod si per haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis

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.

mei sunt enim servi filii Israhel quos eduxi de terra Aegypti

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.
