1Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
1Sinai mae ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah lokthuih pae;
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.
2Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kang paek han ih prae thungah na caeh o naah, prae loe Angraeng khaeah Sabbath ni to zaa tih.
3For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
3Saning tarukto thung lawk to sah oh; saning tarukto thung misur takha to pathoep oh loe, misurthai to pakhrik oh.
4But 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.
4Toe saning sarihto naah loe lawk han anghakhaih Sabbath ah om ueloe, Angraeng khaeah Sabbath ah om tih; lawk sah o hmah loe, misur takha doeh sah o hmah.
5You 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.
5Angmah koeh ah amprawk cang to aat o hmah loe, na sah o ai ih misurthai doeh pakhrik o hmah; lawk to saningto thung anghak o sak ah.
6Whatever 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,
6Sabbath saning thungah angmah koeh ah amprawk thingthai qumpo boih loe nangmacae han ih, na tamna nongpa hoi na tamna nongpata han ih, na tlai ih na tamna hoi nangcae khaeah kaom angvin hanah om tih;
7and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
7to pacoengah na pacah ih maitaw hoi na lawk thungah kaom moinawk hanah doeh om tih; lawk thungah kathai thingthainawk to na caak boih thaih.
8And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
8Sabbath saning, saning sarihto kroek ah, saning sarihto to alet sarihto ah pungsak ah; to naah Sabbath saning sarihto loe, saning qui pali, takawt to ah om tih.
9Then 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.
9To pacoengah khrah sarihto haih, ni hato naah, zaehaih loih thai hanah sak ih angbawnhaih niah prae thung boih ah mongkah to ueng oh.
10So 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.
10Saning qui pangato to ciim o sak ah loe, prae thung kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, loihhaih to taphong oh; hae loe nangcae han Jubili ah om tih; kami boih a tawnh o ih hmuen hoiah a oh o haih ahmuen ah amlaem o tih, angmah ih acaeng khaeah amlaem o let tih.
11The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
11Saning qui pangato naah loe nangcae han Jubili ah om tih; cang tuh o hmah loe, angmah koeh ah amprawk cang doeh aat o hmah; misurthai doeh pakhrik o hmah.
12For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
12Hae loe Jubili ah oh pongah, nangcae han ciim; lawk hoi tacawt thingthai qumponawk to caa oh.
13In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
13Jubili saning ah loe, kami boih mah a tawnh o ih hmuen ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o let tih.
14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
14Nangcae loe na imtaeng kami maeto hoi maeto khaeah hmuenmae zawhhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe qanhaih maw na sak o naah, maeto hoi maeto pacaekthlaek o hmah;
15You 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.
15Jubili pacoeng ih saning to kroek ah loe, to ih saning zetto atho hoiah na imtaeng kami khaeah qan oh, anih mah doeh kathai han koi thingthai qumpo saning to kroek ueloe, to ih saning zetto ni nang cae khaeah zaw toeng tih;
16You 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.
16kathai han koi thingthai saning to khet moe, thingthainawk to zawh ah oh pongah, saning kasawk ah kathai han koi om nahaeloe, atho pasangh oh ah loe, saning tamsi ah kathai han koiah om nahaeloe, atho zoi o sak ah.
17Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
17Maeto hoi maeto pacaekthlaek o hmah; na Sithaw to zii oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.
18You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
18Ka lok takroekhaihnawk to pakuem moe, kang paek ih zaehhoihaih daan to na pazui o nahaeloe, prae thungah monghaih hoi kho na sah o tih.
19Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
19To naah prae mah thingthai qumpo to tacawtsak ueloe, zok kamhah ah na caak o pacoengah, ngancuem ah kho na sah o tih.
20Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
20Nangcae mah, Lawk a sah o ai moe, cang doeh a tuh o ai nahaeloe, saning sarihto haih naah timaw a caak o han loe? tiah na poek o doeh om tih.
21But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
21Saning tarukto thung tahamhoihaih kang paek o moe, saning thumto thung kakhawt ah thingthai qumpo to kang tacawt o sak han.
22While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
22Saning tazetto haih naah loe cang to na tuh o tih, toe cang kangtha aahhaih tue khoek to, saning takawtto thung cang kangquem to na caa o vop tih.
23The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
23Lawk loe kai ih hmuen ah oh pongah, dungzan ah lak hanah minawk khaeah zaw o hmah; nangcae loe kai khaeah kaom angvin ah ni na oh o.
24Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
24Prae boih ah kaom na tawnh o ih hmuen akrang let thai hanah paek oh.
25If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
25Nam nawkamya loe amtang parai pongah, a tawnh ih hmuen to zawh ving boeh; toe a canawk mah akrang hanah angzo o nahaeloe, amnawk mah zawh ving ih hmuen to akrang thai let tih.
26Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
26Toe to long akrang kami to om ai moe, canghni ih long tawnkung angmah akrang thaih koiah om nahaeloe;
27he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
27long zawhhaih saning hoiah kroek amtong ueloe, katang atho to a zawh ih kami hanah paek let tih; to pacoengah loe to long to angmah ih hmuen ah om let tih boeh.
28But 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.
28Toe long tho to paek thai ai nahaeloe, Jubili saning pha ai karoek to a zawh ih hmuen to qankung khaeah om tih; Jubili phak naah loe, qankung mah paek let ueloe, angmah ih hmuen ah om let tih.
29If 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.
29Kami maeto mah sipae hoi thungh ih vangpui thungah kaom im to zaw nahaeloe, a zawh pacoeng saningto thung, a zawhhaih saning akoep naah, a zawh ih im to akrang let thaih.
30If 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.
30Saningto thung akrang let thai ai nahaeloe, sipae kaom vangpui to qankung hoi anih ih caanawk mah dungzan khoek to angmah ih qawk ah suem o tih boeh; Jubili pha cadoeh paek let mak ai boeh.
31But 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.
31Toe sipae om ai vangta ih imnawk loe, lawk baktiah oh pongah, akrangsak let ueloe, Jubili naah paek let tih.
32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
32Levi kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk hoi a tawnh o ih imnawk loe, natuek naah doeh akrang o thai let tih.
33So 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.
33Israel acaeng thungah Levinawk loe, ohhaih vangpuinawk hoi imnawk ai ah loe, tih kalah hmuen tawn o ai pongah, Levinawk ih vangpui hoi imnawk loe kami maeto mah qan cadoeh, Jubili phak naah loe paek let tih.
34But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
34Toe angmacae vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk loe, nihcae mah dungzan ah toep koi qawk ah oh pongah, zawh han om ai.
35Now 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.
35Nam nawkamya loe amtang parai pongah, angmah hoi angmah angcom thai ai, anih loe nawnetta kaom angvin baktiah khosah nahaeloe, nangcae salakah a oh thaih toeng hanah, anih to abomh ah.
36Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
36Anih khae hoiah kamek hmuen maw, to tih ai boeh loe kapung acaa maw la o hmah; nam nawkamya to nangcae khaeah khosak thai hanah, na Sithaw to zii oh.
37You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
37Anih khae hoi kapung acaa caak hanah phoisa to coi o sak hmah loe, cang doeh kamtlai ah pathok han paek o hmah.
38I 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.
38Kai loe na Sithaw, nangcae khaeah Kanaan prae paek hanah, Izip prae hoiah nangcae zaehoikung, na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
39If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
39Nangcae salakah kaom nam nawkamya maeto loe amtang parai pongah, nangcae khaeah angmah hoi angmah to angzaw nahaeloe, anih to tamna baktiah toksah o sak hmah.
40Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
40Anih to tlai ih tamna baktih, nangcae khaeah nawnetta kaom kami baktiah poek oh; anih loe Jubili saning pha ai karoek to nangcae han toksah pae tih.
41Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
41To pacoengah anih to a caanawk hoi nawnto prawt ah, nihcae loe angmacae kaminawk khaeah amlaem o let tih, ampanawk ih hmuen ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o let tih.
42Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
42Israel kaminawk to Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaehhoih, ka tamna ah a oh o pongah, tamna ah zawh han om ai.
43You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
43Nihcae to kana parai ah uk o hmah; na Sithaw to zii oh.
44Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
44Na tamna nongpa doeh, tamna nongpata doeh, nangmacae taengah kaom Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah qan oh.
45You 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.
45Nangcae salakah nawnetta thung kaom kaminawk hoi na prae thungah tapen nihcae ih caanawk to na qan o thaih; nihcae loe nangcae ih hmuen ah om o tih.
46You 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.
46Nihcae loe na caanawk hoi nawnto qawktoep o thaih ueloe, hing thung na tamna ah om o poe tih; toe nam nawkamya Israel kami loe, maeto hoi maeto kana parai ah uk o hmah.
47If 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,
47Nangcae khae nawnetta kaom kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin loe angraeng parai, toe nangcae khaeah kaom nam nawkamya loe amtang parai pongah, nangcae khaeah nawnetta kaom kami khaeah maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin khaeah maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin ih imthung takohnawk khaeah maw, angmah hoi angmah to angzaw nahaeloe,
48he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
48angmah hoi angmah angzawh pacoengah doeh, akrang let thai vop; angmah ih nawkamya maeto mah anih to akrang thaih;
49either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
49ampa ih amnawk mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe ampa amnawk ih caa mah maw, anih to akrang let thai tih; to tih ai boeh loe anih ih caanawk hoi anih ih imthung takoh mah akrang let thaih.
50He 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.
50Angmah hoi angmah angzaw kami hoi qankung loe anih khaeah zawhhaih saning hoiah Jubili karoek to kroek ueloe, tawnkung mah anih tamna ah tlaihaih saning zetto atho to khaek tih.
51If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
51Saning pop ah om vop nahaeloe, qanhaih phoisa thung hoiah akranghaih phoisa to azuk ueloe, paek tih.
52If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
52Toe Jubili karoek to, tamna ah ohhaih saning zetta ah om nahaeloe, a ohhaih saning zetto kroek ueloe, phoisa to paek tih.
53He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
53Anih loe saningto pacoeng saningto tlai ih kami baktiah om tih; na mikhnuk ah anih to kana parai ah uk hmah.
54Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
54Anih to saningto thung akrang o ai cadoeh, Jubili saning phak naah, anih loe a caanawk hoi nawnto tawnkung ban thung hoiah loih tih.
55For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
55Israel kaminawk loe Ka tamna ah oh o; nihcae loe Izip prae thung hoiah Ka zaeh ih, Ka tamna ah oh o, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.
