Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
1Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σινᾷ, λέγων,
2Speak 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.
2λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὅταν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἀναπαύσεται ἡ γῆ, ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν, σάββατα τῷ Κυρίῳ.
3Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof:
3Ἓξ ἔτη σπερεῖς τὸν ἀγρόν σου, καὶ ἓξ ἔτη τεμεῖς τὴν ἄμπελόν σου, καὶ συνάξεις τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς.
4But 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.
4Τῷ δὲ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ σάββατα· ἀνάπαυσις ἔσται τῇ γῇ, σάββατα τῷ Κυρίῳ· τὸν ἀγρόν σου οὐ σπερεῖς, καὶ τὴν ἄμπελόν σου οὐ τεμεῖς,
5What 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:
5καὶ τὰ αὐτόματα ἀναβαίνοντα τοῦ ἀγροῦ σου οὐκ ἐκθερίσεις, καἰ τὴν σταφυλὴν τοῦ ἁγιάσματός σου οὐκ ἐκτρυγήσεις· ἐνιαυτὸς ἀναπαύσεως ἔσται τῇ γῇ.
6But 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:
6Καὶ ἔσται τὰ σάββατα τῆς γῆς βρώματά σοι, καὶ τῷ παιδί σου, καὶ τῇ παιδίσκῃ σου, καὶ τῷ μισθωτῷ σου, καὶ τῷ παροίκῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ πρὸς σέ.
7All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
7Καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσί σου, καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τοῖς ἐν τῇ γῇ σου ἔσται πᾶν τὸ γέννημα αὐτοῦ εἰς βρῶσιν.
8Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
8Καὶ ἐξαριθμήσεις σεαυτῷ ἑπτὰ ἀναπαύσεις ἐτῶν, ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἑπτάκις· καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἑπτὰ ἑβδομάδες ἐτῶν ἐννέα καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
9And 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.
9Διαγγελεῖτε σάλπιγγος φωνῇ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ τῇ δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός· τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ διαγγελεῖτε σάλπιγγι ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν.
10And 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:
10Καὶ ἁγιάσετε τὸ ἔτος τὸν πεντηκοστὸν ἐνιαυτὸν, καὶ διαβοήσετε ἄφεσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν· ἐνιαυτὸς ἀφέσεως σημασία αὕτη ἔσται ὑμῖν· καὶ ἀπελεύσεται εἷς ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν κτῆσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν πατριὰν αὐτοῦ ἀπελεύσεσθε.
11Because 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,
11Ἀφέσεως σημασία αὕτη, τὸ ἔτος τὸ πεντηκοστὸν ἐνιαυτὸς ἔσται ὑμῖν· οὐ σπερεῖτε, οὐδὲ ἀμήσετε τὰ αὐτόματα ἀναβαίνοντα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ τρυγήσετε τὰ ἡγιασμένα αὐτῆς,
12Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
12ὅτι ἀφέσεως σημασία ἐστίν· ἅγιον ἔσται ὑμῖν· ἀπὸ τῶν πεδίων φάγεσθε τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς.
13In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
13Ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῆς ἀφέσεως σημασίας αὐτῆς ἐπανελεύσεται εἰς τὴν ἔγκτησιν αὐτοῦ.
14When 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.
14Ἐὰν δὲ ἀποδῷ πράσιν τῷ πλησίον σου, ἐὰν δὲ καὶ κτήσῃ παρὰ τοῦ πλησίον σου, μὴ θλιβέτω ἄνθρωπος τὸν πλησίον.
15And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
15Κατὰ ἀριθμὸν ἐτῶν μετὰ τὴν σημασίαν κτήσῃ παρὰ τοῦ πλησίον, κατὰ ἀριθμὸν ἐνιαυτῶν γεννημάτων ἀποδώσεταί σοι.
16The 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.
16Καθότι ἂν πλεῖον τῶν ἐτῶν πληθυνεῖ τὴν ἔγκτησιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ καθότι ἂν ἔλαττον τῶν ἐτῶν ἐλαττονώσει τὴν ἔγκτησιν αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἀριθμὸν γεννημάτων αὐτοῦ, οὕτως ἀποδώσεταί σοι.
17Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.
17Μὴ θλιβέτω ἄνθρωπος τὸν πλησίον· καὶ φοβηθήσῃ Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
18Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,
18Καὶ ποιήσετε πάντα τὰ δικαιώματά μου, καὶ πάσας τὰς κρίσεις μου, καὶ φυλάξασθε, καὶ ποιήσετε αὐτὰ, καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς πεποιθότες.
19And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.
19Καὶ δώσει ἡ γῆ τὰ ἐκφόρια αὐτῆς, καὶ φάγεσθε εἰς πλησμονὴν, καὶ κατοικήσετε πεποιθότες ἐπʼ αὐτῆς.
20But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
20Ἐὰν δὲ λέγητε, τί φαγόμεθα ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ τούτῳ, ἐὰν μὴ σπείρωμεν μηδὲ συναγάγωμεν τὰ γεννήματα ἡμῶν;
21I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:
21Καὶ ἀποστέλλω τὴν εὐλογίαν μου ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἕκτῳ, καὶ ποιήσει τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς εἰς τὰ τρία ἔτη.
22And 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.
22Καὶ σπερεῖτε τὸ ἔτος τὸ ὄγδοον, καὶ φάγεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν γεννημάτων παλαιὰ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τοῦ ἐνάτου· ἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ γέννημα αὐτῆς, φάγεσθε παλαιὰ παλαιῶν.
23The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.
23Καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐ πραθήσεται εἰς βεβαίωσιν· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ γῆ, διότι προσήλυτοι καὶ πάροικοι ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐναντίον μου.
24For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
24Καὶ κατὰ πᾶσαν γῆν κατασχέσεως ὑμῶν, λύτρα δώσετε τῆς γῆς.
25If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.
25Ἐὰν δὲ πένηται ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἀποδῶται ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλθῃ ὁ ἀγχιστεύων ὁ ἐγγίζων αὐτῷ, καὶ λυτρώσεται τὴν πρᾶσιν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
26But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
26Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ τινι ὁ ἀγχιστεύων, καὶ εὐπορηθῇ τῇ χειρὶ, καὶ εὑρεθῇ αὐτῷ τὸ ἱκανὸν, λύτρα αὐτοῦ·
27The 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.
27καὶ συλλογιεῖται τὰ ἔτη τῆς πράσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποδώσει ὅ ὑπερέχει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, ᾧ ἀπέδοτο αὐτὸ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται εἰς τὴν κατάσχεσιν αὐτοῦ.
28But 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.
28Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εὑπορηθῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ χεὶρ τὸ ἱκανὸν, ὥστε ἀποδοῦναι αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ πράσις τῷ κτησαμένῳ αὐτὰ ἕως τοῦ ἕκτου ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν τῇ ἀφέσει, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται εἰς τὴν κατάσχεσιν αὐτοῦ.
29He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:
29Ἐὰν δέ τις ἀποδῶται οἰκίαν οἰκητὴν ἐν πόλει τετειχισμένῃ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ λύτρωσις αὐτῆς, ἕως πληρωθῇ· ἐνιαυτὸς ἡμερῶν ἔσται ἡ λύτρωσις αὐτῆς.
30If 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.
30Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρωθῇ ἕως ἂν πληρωθῇ αὐτῆς ἐνιαυτὸς ὅλος, κυρωθήσεται ἡ οἰκία ἡ οὖσα ἐν πόλει τῇ ἐχούσῃ τεῖχος, βεβαίως τῷ κτησαμένῳ αὐτὴν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν τῇ ἀφέσει.
31But 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.
31Αἱ δὲ οἰκίαι αἱ ἐν ἐπαύλεσιν, αἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐταῖς τεῖχος κύκλῳ, πρὸς τὸν ἀγρὸν τῆς γῆς λογισθήσονται· λυτρωταὶ διαπαντὸς ἔσονται, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀφέσει ἐξελεύσονται.
32The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:
32Καὶ αἱ πόλεις τῶν Λευιτῶν, οἰκίαι τῶν πόλεων κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν, λυτρωταὶ διαπαντὸς ἔσονται τοῖς Λευίταις.
33If 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.
33Καὶ ὃς ἂν λυτρώσηται παρὰ τῶν Λευιτῶν, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἡ διάπρασις αὐτῶν οἰκιῶν πόλεως κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἀφέσει, ὅτι οἰκίαι τῶν πόλεων τῶν Λευιτῶν κατάσχεσις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
34But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
34Καὶ οἱ ἀγροὶ ἀφωρισμένοι ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν οὐ πραθήσονται, ὅτι κατάσχεσις αἰωνία τοῦτο αὐτῶν ἐστον.
35If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,
35Ἐὰν δὲ πένηται ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ ὁ μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἀδυνατήσῃ ταῖς χερσὶ παρὰ σοὺ, ἀντιλήψῃ αὐτοῦ ὡς προσηλύτου καὶ παροίκου, καὶ ζήσεται ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ σοῦ.
36Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
36Οὐ λήψῃ παρʼ αὐτοῦ τόκον, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ πλήθει· καὶ φοβηθήσῃ τὸν Θεόν σου· ἐγὼ Κύριος· καὶ ζήσεται ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ σοῦ.
37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
37Τὸ ἀργύριόν σου οὐ δώσεις αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὸκῳ, καὶ ἐπὶ πλεονασμῷ οὐ δώσεις αὐτῷ τὰ βρώματά σου.
38I 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.
38Ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν, ὥστε εἶναι ὑμῶν Θεός.
39If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
39Ἐὰν δὲ ταπεινωθῇ ὁ ἀδελφός σου παρὰ σοὶ, καὶ πραθῇ σοι, οὐ δουλεύσει σοι δουλείαν οἰκέτου.
40But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,
40Ὡς μισθωτὸς ἢ πάροικος ἔσται σοι· ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως ἐργᾶται παρὰ σοί,
41And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,
41καὶ ἐξελεύσεται τῇ ἀφέσει, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται εἰς τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν κατάσχεσιν τὴν πατρικὴν ἀποδραμεῖται.
42For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
42Διότι οἰκέται μου εἰσὶν οὗτοι, οὓς ἐξήγαγον ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· οὐ πραθήσεται ἐν πράσει οἰκέτου.
43Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
43Οὐ κατατενεῖς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ μόχθῳ, καὶ φοβηθήσῃ Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου,
44Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
44καὶ παῖς καὶ παιδίσκη ὅσοι ἂν γένωνταί σοι, ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν ὅσοι κύκλῳ σου εἰσὶν, ἀπʼ αὐτῶν κτήσεσθε δοῦλον καὶ δούλην,
45And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
45καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν παροίκων τῶν ὄντων ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀπὸ τούτων κτήσεσθε καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν συγγενῶν αὐτῶν, ὅσοι ἂν γένωνται ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν, ἔστωσαν ὑμῖν εἰς κατάσχεσιν.
46And 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.
46Καὶ καταμεριεῖτε αὐτοὺς τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν μεθʼ ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν κατόχιμοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· τῶν δὲ ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ οὐ κατατενεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς μόχθοις.
47If 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:
47Ἐὰν δὲ εὕρῃ ἡ χεὶρ τοὺ προσηλύτου ἢ τοῦ παροίκου τοῦ παρὰ σοὶ, καὶ ἀπορηθεὶς ὁ ἀδελφός σου πραθῇ τῷ προσηλύτῳ ἢ τῷ παροίκῳ τῷ παρὰ σοὶ, ἢ ἐκ γενετῆς προσηλύτῳ,
48After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
48μετὰ τὸ πραθῆναι αὐτῷ, λύτρωσις ἔσται αὐτοῦ· εἷς τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ λυτρώσεται αὐτόν.
49Either 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,
49Ἀδελφὸς πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἢ υἱὸς ἀδελφοῦ πατρὸς λυτρώσεται αὐτόν, ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν οἰκείων τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς αὐτοῦ λυτρῶται αὐτόν· ἐὰν δὲ εὐπορηθεὶς ταῖς χερσὶ λυτρῶται ἑαυτὸν,
50Counting 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,
50καὶ συλλογιεῖται πρὸς τὸν κεκτημένον αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔτους οὗ ἀπέδοτο ἑαυτὸν αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς ἀφέσεως· καὶ ἔσται τὸ ἀργύριον τῆς πράσεως αὐτοῦ ὡς μισθίου· ἔτος ἐξ ἔτους ἔσται μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
51If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
51Ἐὰν δέ τινι πλεῖον τῶν ἐτῶν ᾖ, πρὸς ταῦτα ἀποδώσει τὰ λύτρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀργυρίου τῆς πράσεως αὐτοῦ.
52If 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,
52Ἐὰν δὲ ὀλίγον καταλειφθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐτῶν εἰς τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ συλλογιεῖται αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ἔτη αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποδώσει τὰ λύτρα αὐτοῦ ὡς μισθωτός·
53His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.
53ἐνιαυτὸς ἐξ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἔσται μετʼ αὐτοῦ· οὐ κατατενεῖς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ μόχθῳ ἐνώπιόν σου.
54And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
54Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρῶται κατὰ ταῦτα, ἐξελεύσεται ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῆς ἀφέσεως αὐτὸς καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
55For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
55Ὅτι ἐμοὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἰκέται εἰσὶ, παῖδές μου οὗτοί εἰσιν, οὓς ἐξήγαγον ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
