Leviticus 25

1 Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ:

2 “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.

2 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: مَتَى جِئْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَهَبُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لَا تَزْرَعُوهَا فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ.

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

3 ازْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَقَلِّمْ كَرْمَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَاجْمَعْ غَلَّتَهُمَا.

4 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.

4 وَأَمَّا السَّنَةُ السَّابِعَةُ فَفِيهَا تُرِيحُ الأَرْضَ وَتُعَطِّلُهَا سَبْتاً لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تَزْرَعْ فِيهَا حَقْلَكَ وَلا تُقَلِّمْ كَرْمَكَ.

5 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.

5 لَا تَحْصُدْ زَرْعَكَ الَّذِي نَمَا بِنَفْسِهِ، وَلا تَقْطِفْ عِنَبَ كَرْمِكَ الْمُحْوِلِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ سَنَةَ رَاحَةٍ لِلأَرْضِ.

6 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,

6 وَمَا تُغِلُّهُ الأَرْضُ فِي سَنَةِ الرَّاحَةِ يَكُونُ طَعَاماً لَكَ وَلِعَبْدِكَ وَأَمَتِكَ وَأَجِيرِكَ وَالْمُسْتَوْطِنِ النَّازِلِ عِنْدَكَ،

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

7 وَكَذَلِكَ تَكُونُ كُلُّ غَلَّتِهَا طَعَاماً لِلْبَهَائِمِ وَلِلْحَيَوَانِ الرَّاعِي فِيهَا.

8 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.

8 وَبَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ تِسْعٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، أَيْ بَعْدَ سَبْعِ سُبُوتٍ مِنَ السِّنِينَ،

9 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.

9 فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ، مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً عِبْرِيَّةً، تَنْفُخُونَ بُوقَ الْهُتَافِ فِي يَوْمِ الْكَفَّارَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِكُمْ،

10 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.

10 وَتُقَدِّسُونَ السَّنَةَ الْخَمْسِينَ وَتُعْلِنُونَ فِيهَا الْعِتْقَ لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِهَا، فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ يُوبِيلاً، وَتَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ.

11 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.

11 وَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ السَّنَةُ الْخَمْسُونَ هَذِهِ يُوبِيلاً، لَا تَزْرَعُوا فِيهَا وَلا تَحْصُدُوا غَلَّتَهَا وَلا تَقْطِفُوا كَرْمَهَا الْمُحْوِلَ.

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

12 إِنَّهَا يُوبِيلٌ، سَنَةٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ لَكُمْ. لَا تَأْكُلُوا إِلّا مَا يُجْنَى مُبَاشَرَةً مِنَ الْحَقْلِ.

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

13 وَفِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ هَذِهِ يَرْتَدُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ.

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

14 فَإِنْ بِعْتَ مُوَاطِنَكَ، أَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ مِنْهُ، فَلا تَظْلِمْهُ.

15 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.

15 يَكُونُ شِرَاؤُكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ وَفْقاً لِعَدَدِ السِّنِينَ بَعْدَ الْيُوبِيلِ، وَبَيْعُهُ لَكَ يَكُونُ بِنَاءً عَلَى سِنِي الْغَلَّةِ.

16 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.

16 فَكُلَّمَا كَثُرَتِ السِّنُونَ تَزِيدُ قِيمَتُهُ، وَكُلَّمَا قَلَّتِ السِّنُونَ يَنْخَفِضُ ثَمَنُهُ، لأَنَّهُ يَبِيعُكَ بِنَاءً عَلَى عَدَدِ الْغَلّاتِ،

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

17 فَلا يَظْلِمَنَّ أَحَدٌ صَاحِبَهُ، بَلِ اتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

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

18 فَاعْمَلُوا بِفَرَائِضِي وَرَاعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَمَارِسُوهَا، لِتَسْكُنُوا فِي الأَرْضِ آمِنِينَ،

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

19 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَغِلُّ الأَرْضُ ثَمَرَهَا، فَتَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْبَعُونَ وَتَسْكُنُونَ عَلَيْهَا آمِنِينَ.

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

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

21 But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.

21 هَا أَنَا آمُرُ بِبَرَكَتِي لَكُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ فَتُغِلُّ لِثَلاثِ سِنِينَ،

22 While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.

22 فَتَزْرَعُونَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ وَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ الْقَدِيمَةِ إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ حَصِيدُ مَوْسِمِ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ.

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

23 أَمَّا الأَرْضُ فَلا تُبَاعُ مُطْلَقاً لأَنَّ لِي الأَرْضَ، وَأَنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلاءُ عِنْدِي.

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

24 بَلْ فِي كُلِّ عَقْدِ بَيْعٍ تَضَعُونَ شَرْطَ فِكَاكٍ لِلأَرْضِ.

25 If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

25 وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ مُوَاطِنُكَ وَبَاعَ بَعْضَ مُلْكِهِ فَلْيَأْتِ أَقْرَبُ أَقْرِبَائِهِ وَيَفُكَّ مَبِيعَ قَرِيبِهِ

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

26 وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرِيبٌ، وَاسْتَطَاعَ الْحُصُولَ عَلَى مِقْدَارٍ كَافٍ مِنَ الْمَالِ لِفَكِّ الْبَيْعِ،

27 he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.

27 فَلْيَحْسُبْ عَدَدَ السَّنَوَاتِ الَّتِي انْقَضَتْ عَلَى الْمَبِيعِ، وَمَا هُوَ مُتَبَقٍّ مِنْهَا حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، فَيَدْفَعَ لِلْمُشْتَرِي مَا يُعَادِلُ غِلَالَ السَّنَوَاتِ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةِ، وَيَسْتَرِدَّ مُلْكَهُ

28 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.

28 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَافَرْ لَدَيْهِ الْمَالُ لاِسْتِرْدَادِ مَبِيعِهِ مِنْ يَدِ الشَّارِي، فَلْيَنْتَظِرْ حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ لِيَسْتَرِدَّ مُلْكَهُ.

29 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.

29 وَإذَا بَاعَ إِنْسَانٌ بَيْتاً لِلسُّكْنَى فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُسَوَّرَةٍ يَحِقُّ اسْتِرْدَادُهُ فِي خِلالِ سَنَةٍ مِنْ بَيْعِهِ.

30 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.

30 وَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْ فِكَاكِهِ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ سَنَةٍ، يُصْبِحُ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ مِنْ حَقِّ شَارِيهِ وَنَسْلِهِ لَا يُرَدُّ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ.

31 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.

31 أَمَّا الْبُيُوتُ الْمَبِيعَةُ فِي الْقُرَى غَيْرِ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ فَإِنَّهَا تُعَامَلُ مُعَامَلَةَ الْحُقُولِ الزِّرَاعِيَّةِ، قَابِلَةٌ لِلْفِكَاكِ وَالاسْتِرْدَادِ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ.

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

32 أَمَّا بُيُوتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْقَائِمَةُ فِي مُدُنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُسَوَّرَةِ، فَإِنَّ لِلّاوِيِّينَ حَقَّ اسْتِرْدَادِهَا دَائِماً،

33 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.

33 فَبُيُوتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ قَابِلَةٌ لِلْفِكَاكِ وَتُسْتَرَدُّ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، لأَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ هِيَ مُلْكُهُمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

34 أَمَّا الْمَزَارِعُ الْمُحِيطَةُ بِمُدُنِهِمْ فَلا تُبَاعُ، لأَنَّهَا مُلْكٌ أَبَدِيٌّ لَهُمْ.

35 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.

35 وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَعَجَزَ عَنْ إِعَالَةِ نَفْسِهِ فِي وَسَطِكَ، فَأَعِنْهُ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ غَرِيباً أَوْ مُوَاطِناً، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ مَعَكَ.

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

36 اِتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ وَلا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ رِباً وَلا رِبْحاً، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ فِي وَسَطِكَ

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

37 لَا تُقْرِضْهُ فِضَّتَكَ بِرِباً، وَلا تَبِعْهُ طَعَامَكَ بِرِبْحٍ.

38 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.

38 أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لِيَهَبَكُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، فَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً.

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

39 وَإذَا افْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَبِيعَ لَكَ عَبْداً، فَلا تُعَامِلْهُ كَعَبْدٍ،

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

40 بَلْ لِيَكُنْ عِنْدَكَ كَأَجِيرٍ أَوْ نَزِيلٍ، فَيَخْدُمَكَ حَتَّى حُلُولِ سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ،

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

41 ثُمَّ تَعْتِقُهُ هُوَ وَأَوْلادَهُ، وَيَعُودُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُلْكِ آبَائِهِ،

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

42 لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، لَا يُبَاعُونَ كَالْعَبِيدِ.

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

43 لَا تَطْغَ بِتَسَلُّطِكَ، بَلِ اتَّقِ إِلَهَكَ،

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

44 وَلْيَكُنْ عَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ، مِنْهَا تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً،

45 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.

45 وَكَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ النَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكُمْ، فَمِنْهُمْ وَمِنْ عَشَائِرهِمْ، الَّذِينَ عِنْدَكُمُ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ.

46 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.

46 وَتُوَرِّثُونَهُمْ لِبَنِيكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ مِيرَاثَ مُلْكٍ، فَيَكُونُونَ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُكُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا تَطْغَوْا بِتَسَلُّطِكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

47 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,

47 وَإذَا اغْتَنَى غَرِيبٌ أَوْ نَزِيلٌ مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَافْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فَبِيعَ لِلْغَرِيبِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِ عِنْدَكَ، أَوْ لِنَسْلِ عَشِيرَتِهِ،

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

48 فَلْيَفُكَّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَقْرِبَائِهِ بَعْدَ بَيْعِهِ، لأَنَّهُ يَمْلِكُ حَقَّ الانْعِتَاقِ.

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

49 أَوْ يَفُكَّهُ عَمُّهُ أَوِ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ أَوْ أَحَدُ أَقْرِبَائِهِ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ عَشِيرَتِهِ، أَوْ يَسْتَرِدَّ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ حُرِّيَّتَهُ إِذَا حَصَلَ عَلَى مَا يَكْفِي مِنْ مَالٍ،

50 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.

50 فَيَتَحَاسَبُ مَعَ شَارِيهِ مُنْذُ سَنَةِ بَيْعِهِ حَتَّى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ، فَيَكُونُ ثَمَنُ عِتْقِهِ وَفْقاً لِمَا يُدْفَعُ لأَجِيرٍ، لِذَلِكَ الْعَدَدِ مِنَ السَّنَوَاتِ.

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

51 وَإذَا كَانَتِ السَّنَوَاتُ الْبَاقِيَةُ حَتَّى حُلُولِ الْيُوبِيلِ كَثِيرَةً، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ نِسْبَةً أَكْبَرَ مِنْ أَصْلِ الثَّمَنِ الَّذِي دُفِعَ فِي شِرَائِهِ، اِسْتِرْدَاداً لِحُرِّيَّتِهِ.

52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.

52 وَإِنْ كَانَتِ السَّنَوَاتُ الْبَاقِيَةُ حَتَّى سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ قَلِيلَةً، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحْسُبَ عَدَدَ السَّنَوَاتِ وَيَدْفَعَ وَفْقَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ فِكَاكِهِ.

53 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.

53 وَعَلَى الأَجْنَبِيِّ أَنْ يُعَامِلَهُ كَأَجِيرٍ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ، وَلا يَقْسُوَ عَلَيْهِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

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

54 وَإِنْ لَمْ يُوْجَدْ سَبِيلٌ لِفِكَاكِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُعْتَقُ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ مَعَهُ فِي سَنَةِ الْيُوبِيلِ.

55 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.

55 لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي عَبِيدٌ. هُمْ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.
