Leviticus 25

1 Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ قَائِلًا:

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 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: مَتَى أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ تَسْبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ سَبْتًا لِلرَّبِّ.

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

3 سِتَّ سِنِينَ تَزْرَعُ حَقْلَكَ، وَسِتَّ سِنِينَ تَقْضِبُ كَرْمَكَ وَتَجْمَعُ 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 ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلسَّابِعَةُ فَفِيهَا يَكُونُ لِلْأَرْضِ سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ، سَبْتًا لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تَزْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ وَلَا تَقْضِبْ 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 زِرِّيعَ حَصِيدِكَ لَا تَحْصُدْ، وَعِنَبَ كَرْمِكَ ٱلْمُحْوِلِ لَا تَقْطِفْ. سَنَةَ عُطْلَةٍ تَكُونُ لِلْأَرْضِ.

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 وَيَكُونُ سَبْتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَكُمْ طَعَامًا. لَكَ وَلِعَبْدِكَ وَلِأَمَتِكَ وَلِأَجِيرِكَ وَلِمُسْتَوْطِنِكَ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكَ،

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

7 وَلِبَهَائِمِكَ وَلِلْحَيَوَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَرْضِكَ تَكُونُ كُلُّ غَلَّتِهَا طَعَامًا.

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 «وَتَعُدُّ لَكَ سَبْعَةَ سُبُوتِ سِنِينَ. سَبْعَ سِنِينَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. فَتَكُونُ لَكَ أَيَّامُ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلسُّبُوتِ ٱلسَّنَوِيَّةِ تِسْعًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

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 ثُمَّ تُعَبِّرُ بُوقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ. فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْكَفَّارَةِ تُعَبِّرُونَ ٱلْبُوقَ 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 ٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ، وَتُنَادُونَ بِٱلْعِتْقِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِهَا. تَكُونُ لَكُمْ يُوبِيلًا، وَتَرْجِعُونَ كُلٌّ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ، وَتَعُودُونَ كُلٌّ إِلَى عَشِيرَتِهِ.

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 يُوبِيلًا تَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلْخَمْسُونَ. لَا تَزْرَعُوا وَلَا تَحْصُدُوا زِرِّيعَهَا، وَلَا تَقْطِفُوا كَرْمَهَا ٱلْمُحْوِلَ.

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. مُقَدَّسَةً تَكُونُ لَكُمْ. مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُونَ غَلَّتَهَا.

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

13 فِي سَنَةِ ٱلْيُوبِيلِ هَذِهِ تَرْجِعُونَ كُلٌّ 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 فَمَتَى بِعْتَ صَاحِبَكَ مَبِيعًا، أَوِ ٱشْتَرَيْتَ مِنْ يَدِ صَاحِبِكَ، فَلَا يَغْبِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ.

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 حَسَبَ عَدَدِ ٱلسِّنِينَ بَعْدَ ٱلْيُوبِيلِ تَشْتَرِي مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ، وَحَسَبَ سِنِي ٱلْغَلَّةِ يَبِيعُكَ.

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 عَلَى قَدْرِ كَثْرَةِ ٱلسِّنِينَ تُكَثِّرُ ثَمَنَهُ، وَعَلَى قَدْرِ قِلَّةِ ٱلسِّنِينَ تُقَلِّلُ ثَمَنَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ عَدَدَ ٱلْغَلَّاتِ يَبِيعُكَ.

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

17 فَلَا يَغْبِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ، بَلِ ٱخْشَ إِلَهَكَ. إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

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

18 فَتَعْمَلُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَتَحْفَظُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا لِتَسْكُنُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ آمِنِينَ.

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

19 وَتُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ ثَمَرَهَا فَتَأْكُلُونَ لِلشِّبَعِ، 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 وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ: مَاذَا نَأْكُلُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ 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 فَإِنِّي آمُرُ بِبَرَكَتِي لَكُمْ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فَتَعْمَلُ غَلَّةً لِثَلَاثِ 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 ٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلثَّامِنَةَ وَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْغَلَّةِ ٱلْعَتِيقَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ. إِلَى أَنْ تَأْتِيَ غَلَّتُهَا تَأْكُلُونَ عَتِيقًا.

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

23 «وَٱلْأَرْضُ لَا تُبَاعُ بَتَّةً، لِأَنَّ لِيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَأَنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلَاءُ عِنْدِي.

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

24 بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مُلْكِكُمْ تَجْعَلُونَ فِكَاكًا لِلْأَرْضِ.

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 إِذَا ٱفْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فَبَاعَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، يَأْتِي وَلِيُّهُ ٱلْأَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَفُكُّ مَبِيعَ أَخِيهِ.

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 وَلِيٌّ، فَإِنْ نَالَتْ يَدُهُ وَوَجَدَ مِقْدَارَ فِكَاكِهِ،

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 يَحْسُبُ سِنِي بَيْعِهِ، وَيَرُدُّ ٱلْفَاضِلَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي بَاعَ لَهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ.

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

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

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 لَمْ يُفَكَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكْمُلَ لَهُ سَنَةٌ تَامَّةٌ، وَجَبَ ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتِ ٱلسُّورِ بَتَّةً لِشَارِيهِ فِي أَجْيَالِهِ. لَا يَخْرُجُ فِي ٱلْيُوبِيلِ.

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 لَكِنَّ بُيُوتَ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا سُورٌ حَوْلَهَا، فَمَعَ حُقُولِ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُحْسَبُ. يَكُونُ لَهَا فِكَاكٌ، وَفِي ٱلْيُوبِيلِ تَخْرُجُ.

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

32 وَأَمَّا مُدُنُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، بُيُوتُ مُدُنِ مُلْكِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُ لَهَا فِكَاكٌ مُؤَبَّدٌ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ.

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 وَٱلَّذِي يَفُكُّهُ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْمَبِيعَ مِنْ بَيْتٍ أَوْ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ مُلْكِهِ يَخْرُجُ فِي ٱلْيُوبِيلِ، لِأَنَّ بُيُوتَ مُدُنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ هِيَ مُلْكُهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

34 وَأَمَّا حُقُولُ ٱلْمَسَارِحِ لِمُدُنِهِمْ فَلَا تُبَاعُ، لِأَنَّهَا مُلْكٌ دَهْرِيٌّ 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 «وَإِذَا ٱفْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ وَقَصُرَتْ يَدُهُ عِنْدَكَ، فَٱعْضُدْهُ غَرِيبًا أَوْ مُسْتَوْطِنًا فَيَعِيشَ مَعَكَ.

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

36 لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ رِبًا وَلَا مُرَابَحَةً، بَلِ ٱخْشَ إِلَهَكَ، فَيَعِيشَ أَخُوكَ مَعَكَ.

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

37 فِضَّتَكَ لَا تُعْطِهِ بِٱلرِّبَا، وَطَعَامَكَ لَا تُعْطِ بِٱلْمُرَابَحَةِ.

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 ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيُعْطِيَكُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا.

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

39 «وَإِذَا ٱفْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ عِنْدَكَ وَبِيعَ لَكَ، فَلَا تَسْتَعْبِدْهُ ٱسْتِعْبَادَ عَبْدٍ.

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 كَأَجِيرٍ، كَنَزِيلٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ. إِلَى سَنَةِ ٱلْيُوبِيلِ يَخْدِمُ عِنْدَكَ،

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

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 لِأَنَّهُمْ عَبِيدِي ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لَا يُبَاعُونَ بَيْعَ ٱلْعَبِيدِ.

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

43 لَا تَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ بِعُنْفٍ، بَلِ ٱخْشَ إِلَهَكَ.

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

44 وَأَمَّا عَبِيدُكَ وَإِمَاؤُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكُونُونَ لَكَ، فَمِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ. مِنْهُمْ تَقْتَنُونَ عَبِيدًا 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 وَأَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ عِنْدَكُمْ، مِنْهُمْ تَقْتَنُونَ وَمِنْ عَشَائِرِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ عِنْدَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلِدُونَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ مُلْكًا 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 وَتَسْتَمْلِكُونَهُمْ لِأَبْنَائِكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ مِيرَاثَ مُلْكٍ. تَسْتَعْبِدُونَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُكُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَا يَتَسَلَّطْ إِنْسَانٌ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بِعُنْفٍ.

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 «وَإِذَا طَالَتْ يَدُ غَرِيبٍ أَوْ نَزِيلٍ عِنْدَكَ، وَٱفْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ عِنْدَهُ وَبِيعَ لِلْغَرِيبِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنِ عِنْدَكَ أَوْ لِنَسْلِ عَشِيرَةِ ٱلْغَرِيبِ،

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

48 فَبَعْدَ بَيْعِهِ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِكَاكٌ. يَفُكُّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ،

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

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

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

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

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 بَقِيَ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ ٱلسِّنِينَ إِلَى سَنَةِ ٱلْيُوبِيلِ يَحْسُبُ لَهُ وَعَلَى قَدْرِ سِنِيهِ يَرُدُّ فِكَاكَهُ.

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 كَأَجِيرٍ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ. لَا يَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ بِعُنْفٍ 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 يُفَكَّ بِهَؤُلَاءِ، يَخْرُجُ فِي سَنَةِ ٱلْيُوبِيلِ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ مَعَهُ،

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 لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي عَبِيدٌ. هُمْ عَبِيدِي ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.
