Leviticus 25

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai,

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: When you enter the land which I am going to give you, the land will observe a Sabbath to God.

3 Sow your fields, prune your vineyards, and take in your harvests for six years.

4 But the seventh year the land will take a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a Sabbath to God; you will not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.

5 Don't reap what grows of itself; don't harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land gets a year of complete and total rest.

6 But you can eat from what the land volunteers during the Sabbath year - you and your men and women servants, your hired hands, and the foreigners who live in the country,

7 and, of course, also your livestock and the wild animals in the land can eat from it. Whatever the land volunteers of itself can be eaten. "The Fiftieth Year Shall Be a Jubilee for You"

8 "Count off seven Sabbaths of years - seven times seven years: Seven Sabbaths of years adds up to forty-nine years.

9 Then sound loud blasts on the ram's horn on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. Sound the ram's horn all over the land.

10 Sanctify the fiftieth year; make it a holy year. Proclaim freedom all over the land to everyone who lives in it - a Jubilee for you: Each person will go back to his family's property and reunite with his extended family.

11 The fiftieth year is your Jubilee year: Don't sow; don't reap what volunteers itself in the fields; don't harvest the untended vines

12 because it's the Jubilee and a holy year for you. You're permitted to eat from whatever volunteers itself in the fields.

13 "In this year of Jubilee everyone returns home to his family property.

14 "If you sell or buy property from one of your countrymen, don't cheat him.

15 Calculate the purchase price on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. He is obliged to set the sale price on the basis of the number of harvests remaining until the next Jubilee.

16 The more years left, the more money; you can raise the price. But the fewer years left, the less money; decrease the price. What you are buying and selling in fact is the number of crops you're going to harvest.

17 Don't cheat each other. Fear your God. I am God, your God.

18 "Keep my decrees and observe my laws and you will live secure in the land.

19 The land will yield its fruit; you will have all you can eat and will live safe and secure.

20 Do I hear you ask, 'What are we going to eat in the seventh year if we don't plant or harvest?'

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

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

23 "The land cannot be sold permanently because the land is mine and you are foreigners - you're my tenants.

24 You must provide for the right of redemption for any of the land that you own.

25 "If one of your brothers becomes poor and has to sell any of his land, his nearest relative is to come and buy back what his brother sold.

26 If a man has no one to redeem it but he later prospers and earns enough for its redemption,

27 he is to calculate the value since he sold it and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it; he can then go back to his own land.

28 If he doesn't get together enough money to repay him, what he sold remains in the possession of the buyer until the year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee it will be returned and he can go back and live on his land.

29 "If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains the right to buy it back for a full year after the sale. At any time during that year he can redeem it.

30 But if it is not redeemed before the full year has passed, it becomes the permanent possession of the buyer and his descendants. It is not returned in the Jubilee.

31 However, houses in unwalled villages are treated the same as fields. They can be redeemed and have to be returned at the Jubilee.

32 "As to the Levitical cities, houses in the cities owned by the Levites are always subject to redemption.

33 Levitical property is always redeemable if it is sold in a town that they hold and reverts to them in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the People of Israel.

34 The pastures belonging to their cities may not be sold; they are their permanent possession.

35 "If one of your brothers becomes indigent and cannot support himself, help him, the same as you would a foreigner or a guest so that he can continue to live in your neighborhood.

36 Don't gouge him with interest charges; out of reverence for your God help your brother to continue to live with you in the neighborhood.

37 Don't take advantage of his plight by running up big interest charges on his loans, and don't give him food for profit.

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

39 "If one of your brothers becomes indigent and has to sell himself to you, don't make him work as a slave.

40 Treat him as a hired hand or a guest among you. He will work for you until the Jubilee,

41 after which he and his children are set free to go back to his clan and his ancestral land.

42 Because the People of Israel are my servants whom I brought out of Egypt, they must never be sold as slaves.

43 Don't tyrannize them; fear your God.

44 "The male and female slaves which you have are to come from the surrounding nations; you are permitted to buy slaves from them.

45 You may also buy the children of foreign workers who are living among you temporarily and from their clans which are living among you and have been born in your land. They become your property.

46 You may will them to your children as property and make them slaves for life. But you must not tyrannize your brother Israelites.

47 "If a foreigner or temporary resident among you becomes rich and one of your brothers becomes poor and sells himself to the foreigner who lives among you or to a member of the foreigner's clan,

48 he still has the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his relatives may buy him back.

49 An uncle or cousin or any close relative of his extended family may redeem him. Or, if he gets the money together, he can redeem himself.

50 What happens then is that he and his owner count out the time from the year he sold himself to the year of Jubilee; the buy-back price is set according to the wages of a hired hand for that number of years.

51 If many years remain before the Jubilee, he must pay back a larger share of his purchase price,

52 but if only a few years remain until the Jubilee, he is to calculate his redemption price accordingly.

53 He is to be treated as a man hired from year to year. You must make sure that his owner does not tyrannize him.

54 "If he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he goes free in the year of Jubilee, he and his children,

55 because the People of Israel are my servants, my servants whom I brought out of Egypt. I am God, your God.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in monte Sinai dicens

2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos quando ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis sabbatizet sabbatum Domini

3 sex annis seres agrum tuum et sex annis putabis vineam tuam colligesque fructus eius

4 septimo autem anno sabbatum erit terrae requietionis Domini agrum non seres et vineam non putabis

5 quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae est

6 sed erunt vobis in cibum tibi et servo tuo ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae qui peregrinantur apud te

7 iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum

8 numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem

9 et clanges bucina mense septimo decima die mensis propitiationis tempore in universa terra vestra

10 sanctificabisque annum quinquagesimum et vocabis remissionem cunctis habitatoribus terrae tuae ipse est enim iobeleus revertetur homo ad possessionem suam et unusquisque rediet ad familiam pristinam

11 quia iobeleus est et quinquagesimus annus non seretis neque metetis sponte in agro nascentia et primitias vindemiae non colligetis

12 ob sanctificationem iobelei sed statim ablata comedetis

13 anno iobelei redient omnes ad possessiones suas

14 quando vendes quippiam civi tuo vel emes ab eo ne contristes fratrem tuum sed iuxta numerum annorum iobelei emes ab eo

15 et iuxta supputationem frugum vendet tibi

16 quanto plus anni remanserint post iobeleum tanto crescet et pretium et quanto minus temporis numeraveris tanto minoris et emptio constabit tempus enim frugum vendet tibi

17 nolite adfligere contribules vestros sed timeat unusquisque Deum suum quia ego Dominus Deus vester

18 facite praecepta mea et iudicia custodite et implete ea ut habitare possitis in terra absque ullo pavore

19 et gignat vobis humus fructus suos quibus vescamini usque ad saturitatem nullius impetum formidantes

20 quod si dixeritis quid comedemus anno septimo si non seruerimus neque collegerimus fruges nostras

21 dabo benedictionem meam vobis anno sexto et faciet fructus trium annorum

22 seretisque anno octavo et comedetis veteres fruges usque ad nonum annum donec nova nascantur edetis vetera

23 terra quoque non veniet in perpetuum quia mea est et vos advenae et coloni mei estis

24 unde cuncta regio possessionis vestrae sub redemptionis condicione vendetur

25 si adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit possessiunculam suam et voluerit propinquus eius potest redimere quod ille vendiderat

26 sin autem non habuerit proximum et ipse pretium ad redimendum potuerit invenire

27 conputabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit et quod reliquum est reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam

28 quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium habebit emptor quod emerat usque ad annum iobeleum in ipso enim omnis venditio redit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum

29 qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus

30 si non redemerit et anni circulus fuerit evolutus emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo

31 sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum

32 aedes Levitarum quae in urbibus sunt semper possunt redimi

33 si redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel

34 suburbana autem eorum non venient quia possessio sempiterna est

35 si adtenuatus fuerit frater tuus et infirmus manu et susceperis eum quasi advenam et peregrinum et vixerit tecum

36 ne accipias usuras ab eo nec amplius quam dedisti time Deum tuum ut vivere possit frater tuus apud te

37 pecuniam tuam non dabis ei ad usuram et frugum superabundantiam non exiges

38 ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut darem vobis terram Chanaan et essem vester Deus

39 si paupertate conpulsus vendiderit se tibi frater tuus non eum opprimes servitute famulorum

40 sed quasi mercennarius et colonus erit usque ad annum iobeleum operabitur apud te

41 et postea egredietur cum liberis suis et revertetur ad cognationem et ad possessionem patrum suorum

42 mei enim servi sunt et ego eduxi eos de terra Aegypti non venient condicione servorum

43 ne adfligas eum per potentiam sed metuito Deum tuum

44 servus et ancilla sint vobis de nationibus quae in circuitu vestro sunt

45 et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos vel qui ex his nati fuerint in terra vestra hos habebitis famulos

46 et hereditario iure transmittetis ad posteros ac possidebitis in aeternum fratres autem vestros filios Israhel ne opprimatis per potentiam

47 si invaluerit apud vos manus advenae atque peregrini et adtenuatus frater tuus vendiderit se ei aut cuiquam de stirpe eius

48 post venditionem potest redimi qui voluerit ex fratribus suis redimet eum

49 et patruus et patruelis et consanguineus et adfinis sin autem et ipse potuerit redimet se

50 supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suae usque ad annum iobeleum et pecunia qua venditus fuerat iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii supputata

51 si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iobeleum secundum hos reddet et pretium

52 si pauci ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum

53 quibus ante servivit mercedibus inputatis non adfliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo

54 quod si per haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis

55 mei sunt enim servi filii Israhel quos eduxi de terra Aegypti
