利未记 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
安息年的条例
25 耶和华在西奈山上对摩西说： 2 “你把以下条例告诉以色列人。
“你们到了我将要赐给你们的土地后，要让土地每七年在耶和华面前休耕一年。 3 六年之内，你们可以耕种田地，修整葡萄园，收获出产。 4 但第七年是安息年，土地要休息，以尊崇耶和华。你们不可耕种，不可修整葡萄园。 5 不可收割自生自长的庄稼，也不可摘未经修剪而结的葡萄。这一年土地要休耕。 6 但安息年间土地里自生自长的，你们和你们的仆婢、雇工与住在你们中间的外族人都可以吃， 7 你们的牲畜和境内的野兽也可以吃。
禧年的条例
8 “你们要计算七个安息年，即七个七年，共四十九年。 9 第五十年的七月十日赎罪日那天，你们要在境内各地吹号。 10 你们要以这年为圣年，向境内所有居民宣告自由。这年将成为你们的禧年。各人要得回卖掉的祖业，卖身为奴的可以自由回家。 11 第五十年是你们的禧年。这一年你们不可耕种，不可收割自生自长的庄稼，也不可摘未经修剪而结的葡萄。 12 这是禧年，是你们的圣年，你们可以吃土地里自生自长的。 13 在禧年，各人要得回卖掉的地业。 14 因此，你们和同胞买卖田地时，不可彼此亏负。 15 买卖双方要按照距下个禧年的年数多少定价。 16 距下个禧年的年数多，价钱就高；年数少，价钱就低。因为卖的是田地收成的次数。 17 要敬畏你们的上帝，不可彼此亏负。我是你们的上帝耶和华。 18 你们要遵行我的律例，持守我的典章，就可以在那片土地上安居。 19 土地会出产丰富，使你们丰衣足食、安然居住。 20 你们可能会问，‘第七年不种不收，我们吃什么？’ 21 我要在第六年赐福给你们，使田地的出产够你们吃三年。 22 第八年开始耕种时，你们仍会吃陈粮，一直吃到第九年的收割季节。
赎回土地的条例
23 “你们不可永远卖掉土地，因为土地是我的，你们只不过是寄居在那片土地上的过客。 24 你们购买每一块土地时，都必须让原主保留赎回的权利。 25 如果有人因贫穷而卖掉土地，他的近亲要把卖掉的土地赎回来。 26 如果无人为他赎回，而他自己渐渐富裕起来，有能力赎回， 27 他要计算卖掉土地的年数，退还距下个禧年所剩年数的地价，便可以赎回自己的土地。 28 如果他没有能力赎回，所卖的土地在禧年之前要属于买主。到了禧年，买主必须把土地归还原主。
赎回房屋的条例
29 “如果有人卖掉自己城里的房子，要保留一年赎回权。卖掉房子的一年之内，他可以赎回。 30 如果一年之内他没有赎回，房子便永远归买主所有，就是到了禧年也不用归还。 31 如果房子在四围无墙的乡村，要视房子为乡下的土地，原主可以赎回；到了禧年，买主必须将房子归还。 32 在利未人的城邑里，利未人有权随时赎回所卖的房子。 33 如果他们没有赎回，到了禧年要把房子归还他们；因为在利未人的城里，利未人的房屋是他们在以色列人中所拥有的产业。 34 但不可出卖利未人城郊的草场。那是他们永远拥有的产业。
照顾同胞的条例
35 “如果你们的同胞生活日益贫穷，难以维生，你们要像照顾外族人和寄居者一样照顾他的生活，让他住在你们当中。 36 你们不可从中谋利，要敬畏上帝，让他住在你们当中。 37 你们借钱给他，不可收取利息；借粮给他，不可谋利。 38 我是你们的上帝耶和华。我曾经带领你们离开埃及，为要把迦南赐给你们，并做你们的上帝。
买卖奴隶的条例
39 “如果你们的同胞穷得把自己卖给你们，不可把他当作奴隶， 40 要待他像雇工和寄居者一样。他要为你工作到禧年。 41 到了禧年，他和孩子们便可以离开你们，回到自己的宗族和祖业。 42 因为以色列人是我的仆人，是我从埃及带出来的，所以他们不可卖身为奴。 43 你们也不可苛待他们，要敬畏你们的上帝。 44 你们可以从邻国购买奴隶， 45 也可以买居住或出生在你们境内的外族人。这些人可以作你们的产业。 46 你们可以将他们作为产业传给你们的子孙，使他们终身做奴隶。但你们不可苛待自己的同胞。
47 “如果你们中间的外族人渐渐富裕，你们同胞中却有人日益贫穷，把自己卖给外族人或他们的族人， 48 他可以保留赎身的权利。他的兄弟、 49 叔伯、堂兄弟或其他近亲都可以赎回他。如果他富裕起来，也可以赎回自己。 50 他要和买主计算从自己卖身为奴到下个禧年之间的年数，然后按雇工的工价，照年数计算赎价。 51 如果离禧年还有很多年，他就要按比例偿还大部分卖身款为自己赎身。 52 如果离禧年只有不多的几年，他就要按年数偿还卖身款为自己赎身。 53 买主要待他如按年雇佣的工人。你们要确保买主不会苛待他。 54 如果禧年来临前他没有被赎回，到了禧年他和孩子们都要获得自由。 55 因为以色列人是我的仆人，是我从埃及领出来的仆人。我是你们的上帝耶和华。

The Time of Rest for the Land
25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, 2 “Tell the people of Israel this: ‘When you enter the land I will give you, let it have a ·special time of rest, to honor [L sabbath to/for] the Lord. 3 You may plant seed in your field for six years, and you may trim your vineyards for six years and bring in their fruits. 4 But during the seventh year, you must let the land ·rest [have a sabbath]. This will be a ·special time to honor [L sabbath to/for] the Lord. You must not plant seed in your field or ·trim [prune] your vineyards. 5 You must not cut the crops that grow by themselves after harvest, or gather the grapes from your vines that are not ·trimmed [pruned]. The land will have a ·year of rest [sabbath].
6 “‘You may eat whatever the land produces during that ·year of rest [sabbath]. It will be food for your men and women servants, for your hired workers, and for the ·foreigners living in your country [sojourners; wanderers; resident aliens]. 7 It will also be food for your cattle and the wild animals of your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
The Year of Jubilee
8 “‘Count off seven groups of seven years, [L seven times seven years] or forty-nine years. During that time there will be seven ·years of rest [sabbatical years; 25:1–7] for the land. 9 On the Day of ·Cleansing [Atonement; 16:1–34], you must blow the horn of a ·male sheep [ram]; this will be on the tenth day of the seventh month. You must blow the horn through the whole country. 10 Make the fiftieth year a ·special [consecrated; holy] year, and announce ·freedom [liberty] for all the people living in your country. This time will be called Jubilee [C a word related to the Hebrew for “ram’s horn”]. You will each go back to your own property, each to your own family and family group. 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 [pruned]. 12 That year is Jubilee; it will be a holy time for you. You may eat only the crops that come from the field. 13 In the year of Jubilee you each must go back to your own property.
14 “‘If you sell your land to your ·neighbor [countryman], or if you buy land from your ·neighbor [countryman], don’t ·cheat [mistreat; exploit] each other. 15 If you want to buy your ·neighbor’s [countryman’s] land, count the number of years since the last Jubilee, and use that number to decide the right price. If your ·neighbor [countryman] sells the land to you, count the number of years left for harvesting crops, and use that number to decide the right price. 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. 17 You must not ·cheat [mistreat; exploit] ·each other [L your neighbor/countryman], but you must ·respect [fear] your God. I am the Lord your God.
18 “‘·Remember [L Observe] my ·laws [statutes; ordinances; requirements] and ·rules [regulations], and ·obey [keep; guard] them so that you will live ·safely [securely] in the land. 19 The land will give ·good crops [its fruit] to you, and you will eat as much as you want and live ·safely [securely] in the land.
20 “‘But you might ask, “If we don’t plant seeds or gather crops, what will we eat the seventh year?” 21 I will ·send [L command for] you such a great blessing during the sixth year that the land will produce enough crops for three years. 22 When you plant in the eighth year, you will still be eating from the old crop; you will eat the old crop until the harvest of the ninth year.
Property Laws
23 “‘The land really belongs to me, so you can’t sell it ·for all time [in perpetuity]. You are only ·foreigners [sojourners; wanderers; resident aliens] and ·travelers living for a while on my land [L tenants with me]. 24 ·People might sell their land, but it must always be possible for the family to get its land back [L Throughout all the land of your possession, you must allow for redemption of the land]. 25 If ·a person in your country [your brother/kinsman] becomes very poor and sells some land, then close relatives ·must [or can] come and ·buy it back [redeem what his brother/kinsman has sold]. 26 If there is not a ·close relative to buy the land back [redeemer], but if the person ·makes enough money to be able to buy it back [prospers and he is able to redeem it], 27 the years must be ·counted [calculated] since the land was sold. That number must be used to decide how much the first owner should pay back the one who bought it. Then the land will belong to the first owner again. 28 But if there is not enough money to buy it back, the one who bought it will keep it until the year of Jubilee. During that celebration, the land will go back to the first owner’s family.
29 “‘If someone sells a home in a walled city, for a full year after it is sold, the person has the right to ·buy it back [redeem it]. 30 But if the owner does not ·buy back the house [redeem it] before a full year is over, it will belong to the one who bought it ·and to his future sons [L in perpetuity, throughout his generations]. The house will not go back to the first owner at Jubilee. 31 But houses in ·small towns [villages] without walls are like open ·country [fields]; they can be ·bought back [redeemed], and they must be returned to their first owner at Jubilee.
32 “‘The Levites may always ·buy back [redeem] their houses in the cities that belong to them. 33 If someone buys a house from a Levite, that house in the Levites’ city will again belong to the Levites in the Jubilee. This is because houses in Levite cities belong to the people of Levi; ·the Israelites gave these cities to them [L for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons/T children of Israel; Num. 35:1–8; Josh. 21:1–45]. 34 Also the ·fields and pastures [L open land] around the Levites’ cities cannot be sold, because ·those fields belong to the Levites [L that is their possession] forever.
Rules for Slave Owners
35 “‘If ·anyone from your country [your brother/kinsman] becomes too poor ·to support himself [or and dependent on you], ·help [support] him to live among you as you would a ·stranger [sojourner/wanderer/resident alien] or ·foreigner [or tenant]. 36 Do not charge him any interest on money ·you loan to him [L or try to make a profit; Ex. 22:25; Deut. 23:19–20], but ·respect [fear] your God; let ·the poor [L your brother/kinsman] live among you. 37 Don’t lend him money for interest, and don’t try to make a profit from the food he buys. 38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give the land of Canaan to you and to become your God.
39 “‘If ·anyone from your country [your brother/kinsman] becomes very poor and sells himself as a slave to you, you must not make him work like a slave [Ex. 21:2–6; Deut. 15:12–18]. 40 He will be like a hired worker and a ·visitor [or tenant] with you until the year of Jubilee. 41 Then he may leave you, take his children, and go back to his family and the land of his ancestors. 42 This is because the Israelites are my servants, and I brought them out of slavery in Egypt. They must not become slaves again. 43 You must not ·rule this person [exercise dominion; Gen. 1:26] cruelly, but you must ·respect [fear] your God.
44 “‘Your men and women slaves must come from other nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 Also you may buy as slaves children from the families of ·strangers [sojourners/wanderers/resident aliens] or ·foreigners [or tenants] living in your land. ·These child slaves will belong to you [L Those born in your land will be your property], 46 and you may even ·pass them on to your children after you die [will them to your children]; you can make them slaves forever. But you must not ·rule [exercise dominion] cruelly over your own ·people [brothers; kinsmen], the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel].
47 “‘Suppose a ·stranger [sojourner/wanderer/resident alien] or ·foreigner [or tenant] among you becomes rich. If ·someone in your country [a brother/kinsman] becomes so poor that he has to sell himself as a slave to the ·foreigner [sojourner; wanderer; resident alien] living among you or to a member of the ·foreigner’s [sojourner’s; wanderer’s; resident alien’s] family, 48 ·the poor person has the right to be bought back and become free [L after he is sold he has the right of redemption]. One of his relatives may ·buy him back [redeem him]: 49 His uncle, his uncle’s son, or any one of his close relatives may ·buy him back [redeem him]. Or, if he gets enough money, he may pay the money to ·free [redeem] himself.
50 “‘He and the one who bought him must ·count [calculate] the time from when he sold himself up to the next year of Jubilee. Use that number to decide the price, because the person really only hired himself out for a certain number of years. 51 If there are still many years before the year of Jubilee, the person must ·pay back [redeem] a large part of the price. 52 If there are only a few years left until Jubilee, the person must pay a small part of the first price. 53 But he will live like a hired person with ·the foreigner [L him] every year; don’t let the ·foreigner [L him] ·rule [exercise dominion] cruelly over him.
54 “‘Even if no one ·buys him back [redeems him], at the year of Jubilee, he and his children will ·become free [L go out]. 55 This is because the ·people [L sons; children] of Israel are servants to me. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

El año de reposo de la tierra y el año del jubileo
25 Jehová habló a Moisés en el monte de Sinaí, diciendo: 2 Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Cuando hayáis entrado en la tierra que yo os doy, la tierra guardará reposo para Jehová. 3 Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y seis años podarás tu viña y recogerás sus frutos. 4 Pero el séptimo año la tierra tendrá descanso, reposo para Jehová; no sembrarás tu tierra, ni podarás tu viña. 5 Lo que de suyo naciere en tu tierra segada, no lo segarás, y las uvas de tu viñedo no vendimiarás; año de reposo será para la tierra. 6 Mas el descanso de la tierra te dará para comer a ti, a tu siervo, a tu sierva, a tu criado, y a tu extranjero que morare contigo; 7 y a tu animal, y a la bestia que hubiere en tu tierra, será todo el fruto de ella para comer.(A)
8 Y contarás siete semanas de años, siete veces siete años, de modo que los días de las siete semanas de años vendrán a serte cuarenta y nueve años. 9 Entonces harás tocar fuertemente la trompeta en el mes séptimo a los diez días del mes; el día de la expiación haréis tocar la trompeta por toda vuestra tierra. 10 Y santificaréis el año cincuenta, y pregonaréis libertad en la tierra a todos sus moradores; ese año os será de jubileo, y volveréis cada uno a vuestra posesión, y cada cual volverá a su familia. 11 El año cincuenta os será jubileo; no sembraréis, ni segaréis lo que naciere de suyo en la tierra, ni vendimiaréis sus viñedos, 12 porque es jubileo; santo será a vosotros; el producto de la tierra comeréis.
13 En este año de jubileo volveréis cada uno a vuestra posesión. 14 Y cuando vendiereis algo a vuestro prójimo, o comprareis de mano de vuestro prójimo, no engañe ninguno a su hermano. 15 Conforme al número de los años después del jubileo comprarás de tu prójimo; conforme al número de los años de los frutos te venderá él a ti. 16 Cuanto mayor fuere el número de los años, aumentarás el precio, y cuanto menor fuere el número, disminuirás el precio; porque según el número de las cosechas te venderá él. 17 Y no engañe ninguno a su prójimo, sino temed a vuestro Dios; porque yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
18 Ejecutad, pues, mis estatutos y guardad mis ordenanzas, y ponedlos por obra, y habitaréis en la tierra seguros; 19 y la tierra dará su fruto, y comeréis hasta saciaros, y habitaréis en ella con seguridad. 20 Y si dijereis: ¿Qué comeremos el séptimo año? He aquí no hemos de sembrar, ni hemos de recoger nuestros frutos; 21 entonces yo os enviaré mi bendición el sexto año, y ella hará que haya fruto por tres años. 22 Y sembraréis el año octavo, y comeréis del fruto añejo; hasta el año noveno, hasta que venga su fruto, comeréis del añejo. 23 La tierra no se venderá a perpetuidad, porque la tierra mía es; pues vosotros forasteros y extranjeros sois para conmigo. 24 Por tanto, en toda la tierra de vuestra posesión otorgaréis rescate a la tierra.
25 Cuando tu hermano empobreciere, y vendiere algo de su posesión, entonces su pariente más próximo vendrá y rescatará lo que su hermano hubiere vendido. 26 Y cuando el hombre no tuviere rescatador, y consiguiere lo suficiente para el rescate, 27 entonces contará los años desde que vendió, y pagará lo que quedare al varón a quien vendió, y volverá a su posesión. 28 Mas si no consiguiere lo suficiente para que se la devuelvan, lo que vendió estará en poder del que lo compró hasta el año del jubileo; y al jubileo saldrá, y él volverá a su posesión.
29 El varón que vendiere casa de habitación en ciudad amurallada, tendrá facultad de redimirla hasta el término de un año desde la venta; un año será el término de poderse redimir. 30 Y si no fuere rescatada dentro de un año entero, la casa que estuviere en la ciudad amurallada quedará para siempre en poder de aquel que la compró, y para sus descendientes; no saldrá en el jubileo. 31 Mas las casas de las aldeas que no tienen muro alrededor serán estimadas como los terrenos del campo; podrán ser rescatadas, y saldrán en el jubileo. 32 Pero en cuanto a las ciudades de los levitas, estos podrán rescatar en cualquier tiempo las casas en las ciudades de su posesión. 33 Y el que comprare de los levitas saldrá de la casa vendida, o de la ciudad de su posesión, en el jubileo, por cuanto las casas de las ciudades de los levitas son la posesión de ellos entre los hijos de Israel. 34 Mas la tierra del ejido de sus ciudades no se venderá, porque es perpetua posesión de ellos.
35 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere y se acogiere a ti, tú lo ampararás; como forastero y extranjero vivirá contigo.(B) 36 No tomarás de él usura ni ganancia, sino tendrás temor de tu Dios, y tu hermano vivirá contigo. 37 No le darás tu dinero a usura,(C) ni tus víveres a ganancia. 38 Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios.
39 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, estando contigo, y se vendiere a ti, no le harás servir como esclavo. 40 Como criado, como extranjero estará contigo; hasta el año del jubileo te servirá. 41 Entonces saldrá libre de tu casa; él y sus hijos consigo, y volverá a su familia, y a la posesión de sus padres se restituirá. 42 Porque son mis siervos, los cuales saqué yo de la tierra de Egipto; no serán vendidos a manera de esclavos. 43 No te enseñorearás de él con dureza, sino tendrás temor de tu Dios. 44 Así tu esclavo como tu esclava que tuvieres, serán de las gentes que están en vuestro alrededor; de ellos podréis comprar esclavos y esclavas. 45 También podréis comprar de los hijos de los forasteros que viven entre vosotros, y de las familias de ellos nacidos en vuestra tierra, que están con vosotros, los cuales podréis tener por posesión. 46 Y los podréis dejar en herencia para vuestros hijos después de vosotros, como posesión hereditaria; para siempre os serviréis de ellos; pero en vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel no os enseñorearéis cada uno sobre su hermano con dureza.(D)
47 Si el forastero o el extranjero que está contigo se enriqueciere, y tu hermano que está junto a él empobreciere, y se vendiere al forastero o extranjero que está contigo, o a alguno de la familia del extranjero; 48 después que se hubiere vendido, podrá ser rescatado; uno de sus hermanos lo rescatará. 49 O su tío o el hijo de su tío lo rescatará, o un pariente cercano de su familia lo rescatará; o si sus medios alcanzaren, él mismo se rescatará. 50 Hará la cuenta con el que lo compró, desde el año que se vendió a él hasta el año del jubileo; y ha de apreciarse el precio de su venta conforme al número de los años, y se contará el tiempo que estuvo con él conforme al tiempo de un criado asalariado. 51 Si aún fueren muchos años, conforme a ellos devolverá para su rescate, del dinero por el cual se vendió. 52 Y si quedare poco tiempo hasta el año del jubileo, entonces hará un cálculo con él, y devolverá su rescate conforme a sus años. 53 Como con el tomado a salario anualmente hará con él; no se enseñoreará en él con rigor delante de tus ojos. 54 Y si no se rescatare en esos años, en el año del jubileo saldrá, él y sus hijos con él. 55 Porque mis siervos son los hijos de Israel; son siervos míos, a los cuales saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

The Sabbath Year
25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,(A) 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 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.(B) 4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest,(C) a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.(D) 5 Do not reap what grows of itself(E) or harvest the grapes(F) of your untended vines.(G) The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year(H) will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals(I) in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
The Year of Jubilee(J)(K)
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 have the trumpet(L) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;(M) on the Day of Atonement(N) sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty(O) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee(P) for you; each of you is to return to your family property(Q) and to your own clan. 11 The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee(R) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.(S) 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(T) everyone is to return to their own property.
14 “‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.(U) 15 You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years(V) since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. 16 When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price,(W) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. 17 Do not take advantage of each other,(X) but fear your God.(Y) I am the Lord your God.(Z)
18 “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws,(AA) and you will live safely in the land.(AB) 19 Then the land will yield its fruit,(AC) and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.(AD) 20 You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year(AE) if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” 21 I will send you such a blessing(AF) in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.(AG) 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.(AH)
23 “‘The land(AI) must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine(AJ) and you reside in my land as foreigners(AK) and strangers. 24 Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption(AL) of the land.
25 “‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative(AM) is to come and redeem(AN) what they have sold. 26 If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper(AO) and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves, 27 they are to determine the value for the years(AP) 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.(AQ) 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(AR) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.(AS)
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 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 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 “‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns,(AT) which they possess. 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 pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.(AU)
35 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor(AV) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them(AW) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest(AX) or any profit from them, but fear your God,(AY) so that they may continue to live among you. 37 You must not lend them money at interest(AZ) or sell them food at a profit. 38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan(BA) and to be your God.(BB)
39 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.(BC) 40 They are to be treated as hired workers(BD) or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property(BE) of their ancestors.(BF) 42 Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt,(BG) they must not be sold as slaves. 43 Do not rule over them ruthlessly,(BH) but fear your God.(BI)
44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 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 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 “‘If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves(BJ) to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan, 48 they retain the right of redemption(BK) after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives(BL) may redeem them: 49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper,(BM) they may redeem themselves. 50 They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee.(BN) The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker(BO) for that number of years. 51 If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them. 52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they are to compute that and pay for their redemption accordingly.(BP) 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.(BQ)
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 Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt.(BR) I am the Lord your God.(BS)
