New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
10 Make the fiftieth year a special year, and announce freedom for all the people living in your country. This time will be called Jubilee. You will each go back to your own property, each to your own family and family group.
10
Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan.
11 The fiftieth year will be a special time for you to celebrate. Don't plant seeds, or harvest the crops that grow by themselves, or gather grapes from the vines that are not trimmed.
11
The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.
12 That year is Jubilee; it will be a holy time for you. You may eat only the crops that come from the field.
12
For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
13 In the year of Jubilee you each must go back to your own property.
13
“ ‘In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property.
14 "'If you sell your land to your neighbor, or if you buy land from your neighbor, don't cheat each other.
14
“ ‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.
15 If you want to buy your neighbor's land, count the number of years since the last Jubilee, and use that number to decide the right price. If your neighbor sells the land to you, count the number of years left for harvesting crops, and use that number to decide the right price.
15
You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops.
16 If there are many years, the price will be high. But if there are only a few years, lower the price, because your neighbor is really selling only a few crops to you.
16
When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops.
17 You must not cheat each other, but you must respect your God. I am the Lord your God.
17
Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.
