Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,

1 The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai,

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD.

3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard and gather in the fruit thereof,

3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.

4 but the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard.

4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.

5 That which grows of its own accord in thy land that was harvested, thou shalt not reap; neither fence in the grapes of thy consecrated vine; for it is a year of rest unto the land.

5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.

6 But the sabbath of the land shall be food for you, for thee and for thy slave and for thy maid and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourns with thee

6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you,

7 and for thy beast and for the animals that are in thy land shall all the fruit thereof be food.

7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.

8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty-nine years.

8 “ ‘Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years.

9 Then shalt thou cause the shofar to sound an alarm on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of the reconciliations shall ye cause the shofar to sound throughout all your land.

9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.

10 And ye shall sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every one unto his possession, and ye shall return each one unto his family.

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 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; ye shall not sow nor reap that which grows of itself in it nor fence in thy consecrated vine.

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 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the fruit of the land.

12 For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.

13 In this year of jubilee ye shall return each one unto his possession.

13 “ ‘In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property.

14 And if thou sell anything unto thy neighbour or buy anything of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another.

14 “ ‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.

15 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.

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 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell unto thee.

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 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the LORD your God.

17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.

18 Execute, therefore, my statutes and keep my rights and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety;

18 “ ‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws, and you will live safely in the land.

19 and the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety.

19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.

20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our fruits,

20 You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?”

21 then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

21 I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.

22 And ye shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of old fruit; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

22 While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.

23 The land shall not be sold for ever, for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

23 “ ‘The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers.

24 Therefore, in all the land of your possession, ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

24 Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

25 If thy brother becomes poor and has sold away some of his possession, his redeemer shall come, his closest kinsman, and shall redeem that which his brother sold.

25 “ ‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative is to come and redeem what they have sold.

26 And when the man has no redeemer and is able to stretch forth his hand and find enough for his redemption,

26 If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves,

27 then he shall count the years from the sale thereof and pay that which remains unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

27 they are to determine the value for the years since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.

28 But if he is not able to stretch forth his hand and find enough to return unto it, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the one that has bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee the land shall go out free, and he shall return unto his possession.

28 But if they do not acquire the means to repay, what was sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.

29 And if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

29 “ ‘Anyone who sells a house in a walled city retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time the seller may redeem it.

30 And if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to the one that bought it for his descendants; it shall not go out in the jubilee.

30 If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and the buyer’s descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee.

31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.

32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.

32 “ ‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns, which they possess.

33 And if a man makes a purchase from the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.

33 So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites.

34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

34 But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.

35 And if thy brother becomes poor and comes unto thee, then thou shalt receive him; as a stranger, or a sojourner, he shall live with thee.

35 “ ‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.

36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase; but thou shalt have the fear of thy God, and thy brother shall live with thee.

36 Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you.

37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy food for increase.

37 You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.

38 I AM your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39 And when thy brother becomes poor, being with thee, and if he should sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave.

39 “ ‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.

40 As a hired servant and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee.

40 They are to be treated as hired workers or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

41 Then he shall depart free from thy house, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he be restored.

41 Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property of their ancestors.

42 For they belong to me, I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.

42 Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves.

43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.

43 Do not rule over them ruthlessly, but fear your God.

44 Both thy menslaves and thy maidslaves, which thou shalt have, shall be of the Gentiles that are round about you; of them shall ye buy slaves.

44 “ ‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

45 Ye may also buy of the children of the strangers that live among you and of those of their lineage that are born in your land, who are with you, and they shall be your possession.

45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

46 And ye shall possess them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit as a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren, the sons of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigor.

46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

47 And if a sojourner or stranger who is with thee becomes rich and thy brother who is with him becomes poor and sells himself unto the stranger or sojourner who is with thee or to the race of the lineage of the stranger,

47 “ ‘If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan,

48 after he is sold he shall have redemption; one of his brethren shall redeem him;

48 they retain the right of redemption after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives may redeem them:

49 either his uncle or his uncle’s son shall redeem him; or any that is near of kin unto him of his lineage shall redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.

49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper, they may redeem themselves.

50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.

50 They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee. The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker for that number of years.

51 If there are yet many years, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

51 If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them.

52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they are to compute that and pay for their redemption accordingly.

53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him; and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.

53 They are to be treated as workers hired from year to year; you must see to it that those to whom they owe service do not rule over them ruthlessly.

54 And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he and his children with him.

54 “ ‘Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee,

55 For the sons of Israel are mine; they are my slaves whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I AM your God.

55 for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
