Levitico 25

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai di cens:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
2 “ Loquere filiis Israel et dices ad eos: Quando ingressi fueritis terram, quam ego dabo vobis, sabbatizet terra sabbatum Domino.	2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath to the Lord.
3 Sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius;	3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:
4 septimo autem anno, sabbatum requietionis erit terrae, sabbatum Domino: agrum tuum non seres et vineam tuam non putabis.	4 But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 Quae sponte gignit humus, non metes et uvas vineae tuae non putatae non colliges quasi vindemiam; annus enim requietionis erit terrae.	5 What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes of the firstfruits as a vintage: for it is a year of rest to the land:
6 Et erit sabbatum terrae vobis in cibum: tibi et servo tuo, ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenis, qui peregrinantur apud te,	6 But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee:
7 iumentis tuis et animalibus, quae in terra tua sunt, omnia, quae nascuntur, praebebunt cibum.	7 All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
8 Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est septem septies, quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem;	8 Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
9 et clanges bucina mense septimo, decima die mensis expiationis die clangetis tuba in universa terra vestra.	9 And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
10 Sanctificabitisque annum quinquagesimum et vocabitis remissionem in terra cunctis habitatoribus eius: ipse est enim iobeleus. Revertemini unusquisque ad possessionem suam, et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam.	10 And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
11 Iobeleus erit vobis quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia neque vineas non putatas vindemiabitis	11 Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
12 ob sanctificationem iobelei; sed de agro statim ablatas comedetis fruges.	12 Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
13 Hoc anno iobelei rediet unusquisque vestrum ad possessionem suam.	13 In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
14 Quando vendes quippiam civi tuo vel emes ab eo, ne contristet unusquisque fratrem suum; sed iuxta numerum annorum post iobeleum emes ab eo,	14 When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
15 et iuxta supputationem annorum frugum vendet tibi.	15 And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
16 Quanto plures anni remanserint post iobeleum, tanto crescet et pretium; et quanto minus temporis numeraveris, tanto minoris et emptio constabit: tempus enim frugum vendet tibi.	16 The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
17 Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeas Deum tuum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.	17 Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.
18 Facite praecepta mea et iudicia, custodite et implete ea, ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore,	18 Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfil them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,
19 et gignat vobis humus fructus suos, quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem, et habitabitis super terram, nullius impetum formidantes.	19 And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall's invasion.
20 Quod si dixeritis: "Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras?".	20 But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
21 Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum,	21 I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:
22 seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum; donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.	22 And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.
23 Terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenae et coloni mei estis.	23 The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione a vobis vendetur.	24 For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
25 Si attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit partem possessionis suae, veniet ut redemptor propinquus eius, et redimet, quod ille vendiderat.	25 If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.
26 Sin autem non habuerit redemptorem et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire,	26 But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
27 computabuntur fructus ex eo tempore, quo vendidit; et, quod reliquum est, reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam.	27 The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.
28 Quod si non invenerit manus eius, ut reddat pretium, habebit emptor, quod emerat, usque ad annum iobeleum. In ipso enim omnis venditio rediet ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum.	28 But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.
29 Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.	29 He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:
30 Si non redemerit, et anni circulus fuerit evolutus, emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum; et redimi non poterit, etiam in iobeleo.	30 If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.
31 Sin autem in villa fuerit domus, quae muros non habet, agrorum iure vendetur: potest redimi et in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum.	31 But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.
32 Aedes Levitarum, quae in urbibus possessionis eorum sunt, semper possunt ab eis redimi.	32 The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:
33 Si autem quis redemerit a Levitis, domus et urbs in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos; quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus eorum sunt inter filios Israel.	33 If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.
34 Suburbana autem pascua eorum non venient, quia possessio sempiterna est eis.	34 But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
35 Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirma manus eius apud te, suscipies eum quasi advenam et peregrinum, et vivet tecum.	35 If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,
36 Ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti: time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.	36 Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
37 Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram nec plus aequo exiges pro cibo tuo.	37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
38 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti, ut darem vobis terram Chanaan et essem vester Deus.	38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.
39 Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute servorum,	39 If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
40 sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit tecum. Usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te	40 But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,
41 et postea egredietur cum liberis suis et revertetur ad cognationem suam et ad possessionem patrum suorum.	41 And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,
42 Mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti: non venient condicione servorum;	42 For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
43 ne affligas eum per po tentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.	43 Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
44 Servus et ancilla sint tibi de nationibus, quae in circuitu vestro sunt; de illis emetis servum et ancillam.	44 Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
45 De filiis quoque advenarum, qui peregrinantur apud vos, emetis et de cognatione eorum, quae est apud vos et quam genuerint in terra vestra, hos habebitis in possessionem	45 And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
46 et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum ut servos; fratres autem vestros filios Israel ne opprimatis cum potentia.	46 And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
47 Si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini, et attenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius,	47 If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
48 post venditionem potest redimi. Unus ex fratribus suis redimet eum	48 After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
49 et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimat se,	49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,
50 supputatis dumtaxat cum emptore annis a tempore venditionis suae usque ad annum iobeleum, et pecunia, qua venditus fuerat, iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii supputata.	50 Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,
51 Si plures fuerint anni, qui remanent usque ad iobeleum, secundum hos reddet et pretium redemptionis de pecunia emptionis;	51 If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
52 si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo; iuxta annorum numerum reddet emptori, quod reliquum est annorum,	52 If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,
53 quibus ante servivit, mercedibus mercennarii imputatis. Non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.	53 His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.
54 Quod si per haec redimi non potuerit, anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis:	54 And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
55 mei sunt enim servi filii Israel, quos eduxi de terra Aegypti. Ego Dominus Deus vester ”.	55 For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
