NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai di cens:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses on 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 sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, rest on the Sabbath of the Lord.
3 Sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius;	3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall care for your vineyard, and you shall gather its fruits.
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 of the land, a resting of the Lord. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not care for your 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 soil shall spontaneously produce, you shall not harvest. And you shall not gather the grapes of the first-fruits as a crop. For it is a year of rest for 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 these shall be yours for food, for you and for your men and women servants, and for your hired hands, and for the newcomers who sojourn with you:
7 iumentis tuis et animalibus, quae in terra tua sunt, omnia, quae nascuntur, praebebunt cibum.	7 all that grows on its own shall provide food for your beasts and cattle.
8 Numerabis quoque tibi septem hebdomadas annorum, id est septem septies, quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem;	8 You shall also number for yourselves seven weeks of years, that is, seven times seven, which together makes forty-nine years.
9 et clanges bucina mense septimo, decima die mensis expiationis die clangetis tuba in universa terra vestra.	9 And you shall sound the trumpet in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, at the time of the atonement, throughout 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 you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a remission for all the inhabitants of your land: for the same is the Jubilee. A man shall return to his possession, and each one shall go back to his original family,
11 Iobeleus erit vobis quinquagesimus annus. Non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia neque vineas non putatas vindemiabitis	11 for it is the Jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap what grows in the field of its own accord, and you shall not gather the first-fruits of the crop,
12 ob sanctificationem iobelei; sed de agro statim ablatas comedetis fruges.	12 due to the sanctification of the Jubilee. But you shall eat them as they present themselves.
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 you will sell anything to your fellow citizen, or buy anything from him, do not cause your brother grief, but buy from him according to the number of years from the Jubilee,
15 et iuxta supputationem annorum frugum vendet tibi.	15 and he shall sell to you according to the computation of the produce.
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 that will remain after the Jubilee, the more the price shall increase, and the less the time is numbered, so much less shall the purchase price be. For he will sell to you the time for the produce.
17 Nolite affligere contribules vestros, sed timeas Deum tuum, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.	17 Do be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For 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 Accomplish my precepts, and observe my judgments, and complete them, so that you may be able to live 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 so that the soil may produce its fruits for you, from which you may eat, even to fullness, dreading violence by no one.
20 Quod si dixeritis: "Quid comedemus anno septimo, si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras?".	20 But if you will say: What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow and do not gather our produce?
21 Dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto, et faciet fructus trium annorum,	21 I will give my blessing to you in the sixth year, and it shall yield the produce of three years.
22 seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum; donec nova nascantur, edetis vetera.	22 And in the eighth year you shall sow, but you shall eat from the old produce, until the ninth year, until what is new matures, you shall eat what is old.
23 Terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenae et coloni mei estis.	23 Also, the land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for it is mine, and you are newcomers and settlers to me.
24 Unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione a vobis vendetur.	24 Therefore, every region of your possession shall be sold 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 your brother, being in need, will have sold his little possession and his close relative is willing, he is able to redeem what he had sold.
26 Sin autem non habuerit redemptorem et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire,	26 But if he has no near relative, and he himself is able to 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 produce shall be calculated from that time when he sold it. And what is lacking, he shall repay to the buyer, and so he shall receive his possession.
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 hand will not have discovered a way to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the Jubilee. For in that year all that has been sold shall return to the owner, and to the original possessor.
29 Qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros, habebit licentiam redimendi, donec unus impleatur annus.	29 Whoever will have sold a house within the walls of a city shall have the freedom to redeem it, until one year has been completed.
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 has not redeemed it, and the year will have turned full circle, the buyer and his posterity shall possess it, in perpetuity, and it is not able to be redeemed, 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 is in a village, which has no walls, it shall be sold by the law of the fields. If it has not been redeemed beforehand, then 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 buildings of the Levites, which are in the cities, are always able to 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 have not been redeemed, then in the Jubilee they shall return to the owners, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possession among the sons of Israel.
34 Suburbana autem pascua eorum non venient, quia possessio sempiterna est eis.	34 But let not their suburbs be sold, for it is an everlasting possession.
35 Si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus, et infirma manus eius apud te, suscipies eum quasi advenam et peregrinum, et vivet tecum.	35 If your brother has become impoverished, or infirm of hand, and you take him in, like a newcomer or a sojourner, and he lives with you,
36 Ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti: time Deum tuum, ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te.	36 do not accept usury from him, nor anything more than what you gave. Fear your God, so that your brother may be able to live with you.
37 Pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram nec plus aequo exiges pro cibo tuo.	37 You shall not give him your money by usury, nor exact from him an overabundance of produce.
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 led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I might give to you the land of Canaan, and so that I may be your God.
39 Si paupertate compulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus, non eum opprimes servitute servorum,	39 If your brother, having been compelled by poverty, will have sold himself to you, you shall not oppress him with the servitude of indentured servants.
40 sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit tecum. Usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te	40 But he shall be like a hired hand or a settler; he shall work with you, 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 after that, he shall depart with his children, and he shall return to his kindred, to the possession of his fathers.
42 Mei enim servi sunt, et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti: non venient condicione servorum;	42 For these are my servants, and I led them away from the land of Egypt; let them not be sold into the condition of servitude.
43 ne affligas eum per po tentiam, sed metuito Deum tuum.	43 Do not afflict him by power, but be fearful of your God.
44 Servus et ancilla sint tibi de nationibus, quae in circuitu vestro sunt; de illis emetis servum et ancillam.	44 Let your male and female servants be from the nations which are all around 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 from the newcomers who sojourn with you, or who have been born from them in your land. These you shall have as 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 the right of inheritance, you shall transmit them to your posterity, and you shall possess them forever. But do not oppress your brothers, the sons of Israel, by power.
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 newcomer or a sojourner will have grown strong among you, and your brother, having become impoverished, will have sold himself to him, or to any of his stock,
48 post venditionem potest redimi. Unus ex fratribus suis redimet eum	48 after the sale, he is able to be redeemed. Whoever is willing among his brothers shall redeem him:
49 et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et affinis. Sin autem et ipse potuerit, redimat se,	49 either the paternal uncle, or the paternal uncle’s son, or his close relative, by blood or by affinity. But if he himself will 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 considering only the years from the time of his selling until the year of the Jubilee, and calculating the money for which he was sold, according to the number of years and the accounting of a hired hand.

52 si pauci, ponet rationem cum eo; iuxta annorum numerum reddet emptori, quod reliquum est annorum,	52 If few, he shall determine the accounting with him according to the number of years, and he shall repay to the buyer by what is left remaining of the years;
53 quibus ante servivit, mercedibus mercennarii imputatis. Non affliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo.	53 his wages being charged by what served before. He shall not afflict him violently in your sight.
54 Quod si per haec redimi non potuerit, anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis:	54 But if, by these means, he will not be able to be redeemed, then in the year of the Jubilee he shall depart with his children.
55 mei sunt enim servi filii Israel, quos eduxi de terra Aegypti. Ego Dominus Deus vester ”.	55 For they are my servants, the sons of Israel, whom I led away from the land of Egypt.
