ΛΕΥΙΤΙΚΟΝ - Levitico - Leviticus 25

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην εν τω ορει σινα λεγων	1 The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους εαν εισελθητε εις την γην ην εγω διδωμι υμιν και αναπαυσεται η γη ην εγω διδωμι υμιν σαββατα τω κυριω	2 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, let the land, too, keep a sabbath for the LORD.
3 εξ ετη σπερεις τον αγρον σου και εξ ετη τεμεις την αμπελον σου και συναξεις τον καρπον αυτης	3 For six years you may sow your field, and for six years prune your vineyard, gathering in their produce.
4 τω δε ετει τω εβδομω σαββατα αναπαυσις εσται τη γη σαββατα τω κυριω τον αγρον σου ου σπερεις και την αμπελον σου ου τεμεις	4 But during the seventh year the land shall have a complete rest, a sabbath for the LORD, when you may neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard.
5 και τα αυτοματα αναβαινοντα του αγρου σου ουκ εκθερισεις και την σταφυλην του αγιασματος σου ουκ εκτρυγησεις ενιαυτος αναπαυσεως εσται τη γη	5 The aftergrowth of your harvest you shall not reap, nor shall you pick the grapes of your untrimmed vines in this year of sabbath rest for the land.
6 και εσται τα σαββατα της γης βρωματα σοι και τω παιδι σου και τη παιδισκη σου και τω μισθωτω σου και τω παροικω τω προσκειμενω προς σε	6 While the land has its sabbath, all its produce will be food equally for you yourself and for your male and female slaves, for your hired help and the tenants who live with you,
7 και τοις κτηνεσιν σου και τοις θηριοις τοις εν τη γη σου εσται παν το γενημα αυτου εις βρωσιν	7 and likewise for your livestock and for the wild animals on your land.
8 και εξαριθμησεις σεαυτω επτα αναπαυσεις ετων επτα ετη επτακις και εσονται σοι επτα εβδομαδες ετων εννεα και τεσσαρακοντα ετη	8 "Seven weeks of years shall you count--seven times seven years--so that the seven cycles amount to forty-nine years.
9 και διαγγελειτε σαλπιγγος φωνη εν παση τη γη υμων τω μηνι τω εβδομω τη δεκατη του μηνος τη ημερα του ιλασμου διαγγελειτε σαλπιγγι εν παση τη γη υμων	9 Then, on the tenth day of the seventh month let the trumpet resound; on this, the Day of Atonement, the trumpet blast shall re-echo throughout your land.
10 και αγιασετε το ετος το πεντηκοστον ενιαυτον και διαβοησετε αφεσιν επι της γης πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν αυτην ενιαυτος αφεσεως σημασια αυτη εσται υμιν και απελευσεται εις εκαστος εις την κτησιν αυτου και εκαστος εις την πατριδα αυτου απελευσεσθε	10 This fiftieth year you shall make sacred by proclaiming liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when every one of you shall return to his own property, every one to his own family estate.
11 αφεσεως σημασια αυτη το ετος το πεντηκοστον ενιαυτος εσται υμιν ου σπερειτε ουδε αμησετε τα αυτοματα αναβαινοντα αυτης και ου τρυγησετε τα ηγιασμενα αυτης	11 In this fiftieth year, your year of jubilee, you shall not sow, nor shall you reap the aftergrowth or pick the grapes from the untrimmed vines.
12 οτι αφεσεως σημασια εστιν αγιον εσται υμιν απο των πεδιων φαγεσθε τα γενηματα αυτης	12 Since this is the jubilee, which shall be sacred for you, you may not eat of its produce, except as taken directly from the field.
13 εν τω ετει της αφεσεως σημασια αυτης επανελευσεται εκαστος εις την κτησιν αυτου	13 "In this year of jubilee, then, every one of you shall return to his own property.
14 εαν δε αποδω πρασιν τω πλησιον σου εαν και κτηση παρα του πλησιον σου μη θλιβετω ανθρωπος τον πλησιον	14 Therefore, when you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any from him, do not deal unfairly.
15 κατα αριθμον ετων μετα την σημασιαν κτηση παρα του πλησιον κατα αριθμον ενιαυτων γενηματων αποδωσεται σοι	15 On the basis of the number of years since the last jubilee shall you purchase the land from him; and so also, on the basis of the number of years for crops, shall he sell it to you.
16 καθοτι αν πλειον των ετων πληθυνη την εγκτησιν αυτου και καθοτι αν ελαττον των ετων ελαττονωση την κτησιν αυτου οτι αριθμον γενηματων αυτου ουτως αποδωσεται σοι	16 When the years are many, the price shall be so much the more; when the years are few, the price shall be so much the less. For it is really the number of crops that he sells you.
17 μη θλιβετω ανθρωπος τον πλησιον και φοβηθηση κυριον τον θεον σου εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος υμων	17 Do not deal unfairly, then; but stand in fear of your God. I, the LORD, am your God.
18 και ποιησετε παντα τα δικαιωματα μου και πασας τας κρισεις μου και φυλαξασθε και ποιησετε αυτα και κατοικησετε επι της γης πεποιθοτες	18 "Observe my precepts and be careful to keep my regulations, for then you will dwell securely in the land.
19 και δωσει η γη τα εκφορια αυτης και φαγεσθε εις πλησμονην και κατοικησετε πεποιθοτες επ' αυτης	19 The land will yield its fruit and you will have food in abundance, so that you may live there without worry.
20 εαν δε λεγητε τι φαγομεθα εν τω ετει τω εβδομω τουτω εαν μη σπειρωμεν μηδε συναγαγωμεν τα γενηματα ημων	20 Therefore, do not say, 'What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not then sow or reap our crop?'
21 και αποστελω την ευλογιαν μου υμιν εν τω ετει τω εκτω και ποιησει τα γενηματα αυτης εις τα τρια ετη	21 I will bestow such blessings on you in the sixth year that there will then be crop enough for three years.
22 και σπερειτε το ετος το ογδοον και φαγεσθε απο των γενηματων παλαια εως του ετους του ενατου εως αν ελθη το γενημα αυτης φαγεσθε παλαια παλαιων	22 When you sow in the eighth year, you will continue to eat from the old crop; and even into the ninth year, when the crop comes in, you will still have the old to eat from.
23 και η γη ου πραθησεται εις βεβαιωσιν εμη γαρ εστιν η γη διοτι προσηλυτοι και παροικοι υμεις εστε εναντιον μου	23 "The land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine, and you are but aliens who have become my tenants.
24 και κατα πασαν γην κατασχεσεως υμων λυτρα δωσετε της γης	24 Therefore, in every part of the country that you occupy, you must permit the land to be redeemed.
25 εαν δε πενηται ο αδελφος σου ο μετα σου και αποδωται απο της κατασχεσεως αυτου και ελθη ο αγχιστευων εγγιζων εγγιστα αυτου και λυτρωσεται την πρασιν του αδελφου αυτου	25 When one of your countrymen is reduced to poverty and has to sell some of his property, his closest relative, who has the right to redeem it, may go and buy back what his kinsman has sold.
26 εαν δε μη η τινι ο αγχιστευων και ευπορηθη τη χειρι και ευρεθη αυτω το ικανον λυτρα αυτου	26 If, however, the man has no relative to redeem his land, but later on acquires sufficient means to buy it back in his own name,
27 και συλλογιειται τα ετη της πρασεως αυτου και αποδωσει ο υπερεχει τω ανθρωπω ω απεδοτο εαυτον αυτω και απελευσεται εις την κατασχεσιν αυτου	27 he shall make a deduction from the price in proportion to the number of years since the sale, and then pay back the balance to the one to whom he sold it, so that he may thus regain his own property.
28 εαν δε μη ευπορηθη η χειρ αυτου το ικανον ωστε αποδουναι αυτω και εσται η πρασις τω κτησαμενω αυτα εως του εκτου ετους της αφεσεως και εξελευσεται τη αφεσει και απελευσεται εις την κατασχεσιν αυτου	28 But if he does not acquire sufficient means to buy back his land, what he has sold shall remain in the possession of the purchaser until the jubilee, when it must be released and returned to its original owner.
29 εαν δε τις αποδωται οικιαν οικητην εν πολει τετειχισμενη και εσται η λυτρωσις αυτης εως πληρωθη ενιαυτος ημερων εσται η λυτρωσις αυτης	29 "When someone sells a dwelling in a walled town, he has the right to buy it back during the time of one full year from its sale.
30 εαν δε μη λυτρωθη εως αν πληρωθη αυτης ενιαυτος ολος κυρωθησεται η οικια η ουσα εν πολει τη εχουση τειχος βεβαιως τω κτησαμενω αυτην εις τας γενεας αυτου και ουκ εξελευσεται εν τη αφεσει	30 But if such a house in a walled town has not been redeemed at the end of a full year, it shall belong in perpetuity to the purchaser and his descendants; nor shall it be released in the jubilee.
31 αι δε οικιαι αι εν επαυλεσιν αις ουκ εστιν εν αυταις τειχος κυκλω προς τον αγρον της γης λογισθητωσαν λυτρωται δια παντος εσονται και εν τη αφεσει εξελευσονται	31 However, houses in villages that are not encircled by walls shall be considered as belonging to the surrounding farm land; they may be redeemed at any time, and in the jubilee they must be released.
32 και αι πολεις των λευιτων οικιαι των πολεων αυτων κατασχεσεως λυτρωται δια παντος εσονται τοις λευιταις	32 "In levitical cities the Levites shall always have the right to redeem the town houses that are their property.
33 και ος αν λυτρωσαμενος παρα των λευιτων και εξελευσεται η διαπρασις αυτων οικιων πολεως κατασχεσεως αυτων εν τη αφεσει οτι οικιαι των πολεων των λευιτων κατασχεσις αυτων εν μεσω υιων ισραηλ	33 Any town house of the Levites in their cities that had been sold and not redeemed, shall be released in the jubilee; for the town houses of the Levites are their hereditary property in the midst of the Israelites.
34 και οι αγροι οι αφωρισμενοι ταις πολεσιν αυτων ου πραθησονται οτι κατασχεσις αιωνια τουτο αυτων εστιν	34 Moreover, the pasture land belonging to their cities shall not be sold at all; it must always remain their hereditary property.
35 εαν δε πενηται ο αδελφος σου και αδυνατηση ταις χερσιν παρα σοι αντιλημψη αυτου ως προσηλυτου και παροικου και ζησεται ο αδελφος σου μετα σου	35 "When one of your fellow countrymen is reduced to poverty and is unable to hold out beside you, extend to him the privileges of an alien or a tenant, so that he may continue to live with you.
36 ου λημψη παρ' αυτου τοκον ουδε επι πληθει και φοβηθηση τον θεον σου εγω κυριος και ζησεται ο αδελφος σου μετα σου	36 Do not exact interest from your countryman either in money or in kind, but out of fear of God let him live with you.
37 το αργυριον σου ου δωσεις αυτω επι τοκω και επι πλεονασμον ου δωσεις αυτω τα βρωματα σου	37 You are to lend him neither money at interest nor food at a profit.
38 εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων ο εξαγαγων υμας εκ γης αιγυπτου δουναι υμιν την γην χανααν ωστε ειναι υμων θεος	38 I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 εαν δε ταπεινωθη ο αδελφος σου παρα σοι και πραθη σοι ου δουλευσει σοι δουλειαν οικετου	39 "When, then, your countryman becomes so impoverished beside you that he sells you his services, do not make him work as a slave.
40 ως μισθωτος η παροικος εσται σοι εως του ετους της αφεσεως εργαται παρα σοι	40 Rather, let him be like a hired servant or like your tenant, working with you until the jubilee year,
41 και εξελευσεται τη αφεσει και τα τεκνα αυτου μετ' αυτου και απελευσεται εις την γενεαν αυτου εις την κατασχεσιν την πατρικην αποδραμειται	41 when he, together with his children, shall be released from your service and return to his kindred and to the property of his ancestors.
42 διοτι οικεται μου εισιν ουτοι ους εξηγαγον εκ γης αιγυπτου ου πραθησεται εν πρασει οικετου	42 Since those whom I brought out of the land of Egypt are servants of mine, they shall not be sold as slaves to any man.
43 ου κατατενεις αυτον εν τω μοχθω και φοβηθηση κυριον τον θεον σου	43 Do not lord it over them harshly, but stand in fear of your God.
44 και παις και παιδισκη οσοι αν γενωνται σοι απο των εθνων οσοι κυκλω σου εισιν απ' αυτων κτησεσθε δουλον και δουλην	44 "Slaves, male and female, you may indeed possess, provided you buy them from among the neighboring nations.
45 και απο των υιων των παροικων των οντων εν υμιν απο τουτων κτησεσθε και απο των συγγενων αυτων οσοι αν γενωνται εν τη γη υμων εστωσαν υμιν εις κατασχεσιν	45 You may also buy them from among the aliens who reside with you and from their children who are born and reared in your land. Such slaves you may own as chattels,
46 και καταμεριειτε αυτους τοις τεκνοις υμων μεθ' υμας και εσονται υμιν κατοχιμοι εις τον αιωνα των αδελφων υμων των υιων ισραηλ εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου ου κατατενει αυτον εν τοις μοχθοις	46 and leave to your sons as their hereditary property, making them perpetual slaves. But you shall not lord it harshly over any of the Israelites, your kinsmen.
47 εαν δε ευρη η χειρ του προσηλυτου η του παροικου του παρα σοι και απορηθεις ο αδελφος σου πραθη τω προσηλυτω η τω παροικω τω παρα σοι εκ γενετης προσηλυτω	47 "When one of your countrymen is reduced to such poverty that he sells himself to a wealthy alien who has a permanent or a temporary residence among you, or to one of the descendants of an immigrant family,
48 μετα το πραθηναι αυτω λυτρωσις εσται αυτω εις των αδελφων αυτου λυτρωσεται αυτον	48 even after he has thus sold his services he still has the right of redemption; he may be redeemed by one of his own brothers,
49 αδελφος πατρος αυτου η υιος αδελφου πατρος λυτρωσεται αυτον η απο των οικειων των σαρκων αυτου εκ της φυλης αυτου λυτρωσεται αυτον εαν δε ευπορηθεις ταις χερσιν λυτρωσηται εαυτον	49 or by his uncle or cousin, or by some other relative or fellow clansman; or, if he acquires the means, he may redeem himself.
50 και συλλογιειται προς τον κεκτημενον αυτον απο του ετους ου απεδοτο εαυτον αυτω εως του ενιαυτου της αφεσεως και εσται το αργυριον της πρασεως αυτου ως μισθιου ετος εξ ετους εσται μετ' αυτου	50 With his purchaser he shall compute the years from the sale to the jubilee, distributing the sale price over these years as though he had been hired as a day laborer.
51 εαν δε τινι πλειον των ετων η προς ταυτα αποδωσει τα λυτρα αυτου απο του αργυριου της πρασεως αυτου	51 The more such years there are, the more of the sale price he shall pay back as ransom;
52 εαν δε ολιγον καταλειφθη απο των ετων εις τον ενιαυτον της αφεσεως και συλλογιειται αυτω κατα τα ετη αυτου και αποδωσει τα λυτρα αυτου	52 the fewer years there are left before the jubilee year, the more he has to his credit; in proportion to his years of service shall he pay his ransom.
53 ως μισθωτος ενιαυτον εξ ενιαυτου εσται μετ' αυτου ου κατατενεις αυτον εν τω μοχθω ενωπιον σου	53 The alien shall treat him as a servant hired on an annual basis, and he shall not lord it over him harshly under your very eyes.
54 εαν δε μη λυτρωται κατα ταυτα εξελευσεται εν τω ετει της αφεσεως αυτος και τα παιδια αυτου μετ' αυτου	54 If he is not thus redeemed, he shall nevertheless be released, together with his children, in the jubilee year.
55 οτι εμοι οι υιοι ισραηλ οικεται παιδες μου ουτοι εισιν ους εξηγαγον εκ γης αιγυπτου εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων	55 For to me the Israelites belong as servants; they are servants of mine, because I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I, the LORD, your God.
