레위기 25
Korean Living Bible
안식년
25 여호와께서는 시내산에서 모세를 통하여 이스라엘 백성에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희는 내가 주는 땅에 들어가거든 7년마다
2 한 해씩 땅을 묵혀 나 여호와 앞에서 안식년으로 지켜라.
3 너희가 6년 동안은 밭에 파종을 하고 포도원을 가꾸어 포도를 따낼 것이나
4 7년째에는 땅을 완전히 묵혀 나 여호와 앞에서 쉬도록 하라. 이 해는 안식하는 해이므로 밭에 씨를 뿌리거나 포도원을 가꾸어서는 안 된다.
5 너희는 저절로 자란 곡식을 추수하지 말며 가꾸지 않은 포도나무에서 저절로 맺힌 포도송이도 거두어들이지 말아라. 이것은 땅을 위한 안식년이기 때문이다.
6 그리고 안식년에 밭에서 저절로 자란 농산물은 너희와 너희 종들과 너희가 고용한 품꾼과 너희 중에 사는 외국인과
7 너희 가축과 들짐승이 자유로이 먹게 하라.”
희년
8-9 “너희는 7년마다 돌아오는 안식년이 일곱 번 지난 해, 곧 49년이 지난 다음 속죄일인 7월 10일에 전국적으로 나팔을 크게 불어라.
10 너희는 50년째가 되는 해를 거룩한 해로 정하고 너희 땅에 사는 모든 백성에게 자유를 선포하라. 이 해는 너희가 지켜야 할 희년이다. 그러므로 만일 너희가 남의 재산을 산 것이 있으면 본 주인이나 그 후손에게 도로 돌려 주어야 하며 종으로 팔려온 자도 자기 가족에게 도로 돌려보내야 한다.
11 “50년마다 돌아오는 희년에는 파종도 하지 말고 저절로 난 것을 추수하지도 말며 손질하지 않은 포도송이를 거둬들이지도 말아라.
12 희년은 너희에게 거룩한 해이다. 그러므로 너희는 미리 비축해 둔 밭의 농산물만 먹어야 한다.
13 “희년이 되면 너희는 팔려온 종이라도 자기 집으로 돌려보내고 남에게 산 재산도 본래의 주인에게 돌려 주어야 한다.
14 너희는 땅을 사고 팔 때 서로 속이지 말아라.
15 그 값은 다음 희년까지 남은 햇수를 계산 하고 이용 가치를 따져서 결정해야 한다.
16 만일 다음 희년까지 남은 햇수가 많으면 값을 많이 받고 남은 햇수가 적으면 값을 적게 받아야 한다. 그러므로 사고 파는 가격은 다음 희년까지의 남은 햇수와 수확량에 비례한다.
17 너희는 값을 서로 속이지 말고 너희 하나님을 두려워하라. 나는 너희 하나님 여호와이다.
18 “너희는 내가 정해 준 법과 규정을 그대로 준수하라. 그러면 너희가 그 땅에서 안전하게 살 것이다.
19 너희가 내 말에 순종하면 그 땅은 풍성한 열매를 맺을 것이며 너희는 배불리 먹고 그 땅에서 안전하게 살 것이다.
20 “만일 안식년에 심지도 않고 거두지도 못하면 무엇을 먹고 살겠느냐고 너희가 말하겠지만
21 [a]염려하지 말아라. 내가 6년째 되는 해에 너희에게 복을 내려 풍년이 들게 하고 그 양식으로 너희가 3년 동안 먹을 수 있도록 하겠다.
22 너희가 8년째 되는 해에 밭에 씨를 뿌릴 때에도 여전히 6년째에 추수한 것으로 먹을 것이며 9년째 추수할 때까지도 그 묵은 양식이 떨어지지 않을 것이다.
23 “그리고 너희는 토지를 팔 경우에 아주 팔아 넘기는 조건으로 팔아서는 안 된다. 이것은 토지가 너희 것이 아니라 내 것이며 너희는 다만 그 토지를 사용할 수 있도록 허락받은 소작인으로 나와 함께 있는 나그네에 불과하기 때문이다.
24 “토지를 매매할 때는 본래의 소유주가 언제든지 그 토지를 다시 사들일 수 있는 권한이 계약상에 인정되어야 한다.
25 만일 어떤 사람이 가난하여 자기 땅을 팔았을 경우에는 그의 가까운 친척이 그 땅을 다시 사야 하며
26 그 땅을 다시 살 친척이 없으면 후에 돈을 벌어서 자기가 판 땅을 도로 살 수 있는 힘이 있을 때
27 그는 다음 희년까지의 남은 햇수를 계산하여 그 남은 햇수에 해당하는 돈만 치르고 그 땅을 도로 살 수가 있다.
28 그러나 그가 판 땅을 다시 살 힘이 없으면 그는 자기 땅을 돌려 받을 수 있는 희년까지 기다려야 한다.
29 “누가 성벽으로 둘러싸인 성 안의 집을 팔았으면 그 집을 다시 살 수 있는 유효 기간은 그 집을 판 날로부터 만 년 이내이다.
30 만일 이 기간 내에 그 집을 다시 사지 못하면 그는 자기 집을 다시 살 수 있는 권리를 잃게 되고 그 집은 영영 산 자와 그 후손의 소유가 되어 희년이 되어도 본래의 주인에게 돌려 주지 않아도 된다.
31 그러나 성벽으로 둘러싸여 있지 않은 부락의 집은 토지 매매의 경우와 같이 처음 소유주가 언제든지 판 것을 다시 살 수 있으며 또 희년이 되면 그 판 집이 도로 자기 소유가 된다.
32 그렇지만 레위 사람만은 예외이다. 그들은 성 안의 집을 판 경우에도 그것을 언제든지 다시 살 수가 있다.
33 만일 레위인이 그 집을 다시 사지 않으면 희년에는 그 집을 본 주인인 레위인에게 돌려 주어야 한다. 이것은 레위 지파가 그들 성 내의 집과 그 주변의 땅 외에는 다른 지파와 같이 유산으로 물려받을 땅이 없기 때문이다.
34 그러나 레위인들은 그들 성 주변에 있는 밭이 그들의 영원한 재산이므로 절대로 팔아서는 안 된다.
35 “만일 너희 동족 가운데 너무 가난하여 먹고 살 길이 막연한 자가 있거든 너희는 그를 도와 갈 곳 없는 나그네처럼 여겨 한집에 데리고 살아라.
36 너희는 너희 하나님을 두려워하며 그 사람을 형제처럼 여기고 그에게 빌려 준 돈에 대해서도 이자를 받지 말아라.
37 너희는 그에게 이자를 받을 셈으로 돈을 빌려 주지 말고 밥을 먹여 준다고 해서 무슨 이득을 바라서도 안 된다.
38 나는 너희에게 가나안 땅을 주고 또 너희 하나님이 되기 위해서 너희를 이집트에서 인도해 낸 너희 하나님 여호와이다.
39 “만일 너희 동족이 가난하여 너희에게 몸을 팔거든 너희는 그를 노예처럼 부려먹지 말고
40 품꾼이나 잠시 너희 집에 몸 붙여 사는 나그네처럼 여겨 희년까지만 너희를 섬기게 하라.
41 희년이 되면 그와 그 자녀들은 너희를 떠나 그의 가족과 조상의 소유지로 돌아가게 하라.
42 이스라엘 백성은 내가 이집트에서 인도해 낸 나의 종이다. 그러므로 너희 동족이 노예로 팔려가는 일이 있어서는 안 된다.
43 너희는 그를 가혹하게 부려먹지 말고 너희 하나님을 두려워하라.
44 만일 너희가 종이 필요하면 너희 주변에 사는 이방 민족 중에서 사올 수 있고
45 또 너희 가운데 사는 외국인의 자녀 중에서도 살 수 있다. 그들이 너희 땅에서 태어났어도 너희 소유가 될 것이다.
46 또 너희는 그들을 너희 후손들에게 유산으로 물려 줄 수도 있다. 그러나 너희가 너희 동족을 가혹하게 부려먹어서는 안 된다.
47 “만일 너희 가운데 사는 외국인은 부요하고 그 이웃에 사는 너희 동족은 가난하여 그가 외국인이나 그 외국인의 가족에게 몸을 팔았으면
48 그는 팔린 후에도 그 몸값만 지불하면 언제든지 그 집에서 풀려날 수가 있다. 이런 경우에는 그의 형제 중 한 사람이 그의 몸값을 지불하든가
49 아니면 그의 삼촌이나 사촌이나 그의 가까운 친척 중에서 누구든지 그의 몸값을 지불할 수 있다. 그러나 만일 그가 돈을 벌어 자기 몸값을 지불할 능력이 있으면 스스로 몸값을 물어 주고 자유의 몸이 될 수 있다.
50 그는 자기를 산 자와 함께 자기가 팔린 때부터 희년까지의 햇수를 계산하여 그 햇수에 해당하는 고용인의 품값을 기준하여 몸값을 정해야 한다.
51 희년까지 남은 햇수가 많으면 자기가 팔릴 때 받은 몸값을 많이 돌려 주어야 하며
52 남은 햇수가 적으면 그 햇수에 해당하는 몸값만 지불하면 된다.
53 그를 산 주인은 그를 노예처럼 가혹하게 부려먹을 것이 아니라 자기 집에 고용된 품꾼으로 대우해야 한다.
54 만일 그가 자기 몸값을 지불할 능력이 없으면 그와 그 자녀들은 희년에 가서야 자유의 몸이 될 것이다.
55 너희 이스라엘 백성은 나의 종이다. 이것은 내가 너희를 이집트에서 인도해 낸 너희 하나님 여호와이기 때문이다.”

Leviticus 25
English Standard Version
The Sabbath Year
25 (A)The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into (B)the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 5 (C)You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 6 The Sabbath of the land[a] shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves[b] and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you, 7 and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: (D)all its yield shall be for food.
The Year of Jubilee
8 “You shall count seven weeks[c] of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall sound (E)the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. (F)On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and (G)proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of (H)you shall return to his clan. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it (I)you shall neither sow nor reap (J)what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12 For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. (K)You may eat the produce of the field.[d]
13 (L)“In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property. 14 And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, (M)you shall not wrong one another. 15 (N)You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops. 16 If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you. 17 (O)You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.
18 (P)“Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then (Q)you will dwell in the land securely. 19 (R)The land will yield its fruit, and (S)you will eat your fill (T)and dwell in it securely. 20 And if you say, (U)‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if (V)we may not sow or gather in our crop?’ 21 I will (W)command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years. 22 (X)When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of (Y)the old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.
Redemption of Property
23 “The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for (Z)the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.
25 “If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, (AA)then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold. 26 If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it, 27 let (AB)him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property. 28 But if he does not have sufficient means to recover it, then what he sold shall remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee it shall (AC)be released, and (AD)he shall return to his property.
29 “If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its sale. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. 30 If it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong in perpetuity to the buyer, throughout his generations; (AE)it shall not be released in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them shall be classified with the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and (AF)they shall be released in the jubilee. 32 As for (AG)the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem at any time the houses in the cities they possess. 33 And if one of the Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a city they possess shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel. 34 But the fields (AH)of pastureland belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is their possession forever.
Kindness for Poor Brothers
35 “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, (AI)you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. 36 (AJ)Take no interest from him or profit, but (AK)fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. 37 (AL)You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 38 (AM)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 (AN)“If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave: 40 he shall be with you as a hired worker and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. 41 (AO)Then he shall go out from you, (AP)he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return (AQ)to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are (AR)my servants,[e] whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 (AS)You shall not rule over him (AT)ruthlessly but (AU)shall fear your God. 44 As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. 45 (AV)You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. 46 You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel (AW)you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.
Redeeming a Poor Man
47 “If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and (AX)your brother beside him becomes poor and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner with you or to a member of the stranger's clan, 48 then after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him, 49 or his uncle or his cousin may (AY)redeem him, or a close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he (AZ)grows rich he may redeem himself. 50 He shall calculate with his buyer from the year when he sold himself to him until the year of jubilee, and the price of his sale shall vary with the number of years. The time he was with his owner shall be (BA)rated as the time of a hired worker. 51 If there are still many years left, he shall pay proportionately for his redemption some of his sale price. 52 If there remain but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall calculate and pay for his redemption in proportion to his years of service. 53 He shall treat him as a worker hired year by year. (BB)He shall not rule ruthlessly over him in your sight. 54 And if he is not redeemed by these means, then (BC)he and his children with him shall be released in the year of jubilee. 55 For it is (BD)to me that the people of Israel are servants.[f] They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

New King James Version
The Sabbath of the Seventh Year(A)
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount (B)Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall (C)keep a sabbath to the Lord. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4 but in the (D)seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn (E)rest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5 (F)What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. 6 And the sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you: for you, your male and female servants, your hired man, and the stranger who dwells with you, 7 for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land—all its produce shall be for food.
The Year of Jubilee
8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; (G)on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and (H)proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; (I)and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it (J)you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; (K)you shall eat its produce from the field.
13 (L)‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not (M)oppress one another. 15 (N)According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you. 16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops. 17 Therefore (O)you shall not [a]oppress one another, (P)but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
Provisions for the Seventh Year
18 (Q)‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; (R)and you will dwell in the land in safety. 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and (S)you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.
20 ‘And if you say, (T)“What shall we eat in the seventh year, since (U)we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?” 21 Then I will (V)command My blessing on you in the (W)sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. 22 (X)And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat (Y)old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest.
Redemption of Property
23 ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for (Z)the land is Mine; for you are (AA)strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25 (AB)‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if (AC)his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold. 26 Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it, 27 then (AD)let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; (AE)and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
29 ‘If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it. 30 But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee. 31 However the houses of villages which have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee. 32 Nevertheless (AF)the cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But (AG)the field of the common-land of their cities may not be (AH)sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
Lending to the Poor
35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and [b]falls into poverty among you, then you shall (AI)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 (AJ)Take no usury or interest from him; but (AK)fear your God, that your brother may live with you. 37 You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. 38 (AL)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
The Law Concerning Slavery
39 ‘And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave. 40 As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 And then he shall depart from you—he and his children (AM)with him—and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are (AN)My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 (AO)You shall not rule over him (AP)with [c]rigor, but you (AQ)shall fear your God. 44 And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have—from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 45 Moreover you may buy (AR)the children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. 46 And (AS)you may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor.
47 ‘Now if a sojourner or stranger close to you becomes rich, and one of your brethren who dwells by him becomes poor, and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner close to you, or to a member of the stranger’s family, 48 after he is sold he may be redeemed again. One of his brothers may redeem him; 49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him; or anyone who is near of kin to him in his family may redeem him; or if he is able he may redeem himself. 50 Thus he shall reckon with him who bought him: The price of his release shall be according to the number of years, from the year that he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; it shall be (AT)according to the time of a hired servant for him. 51 If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall repay the price of his redemption from the money with which he was bought. 52 And if there remain but a few years until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him, and according to his years he shall repay him the price of his redemption. 53 He shall be with him as a yearly hired servant, and he shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight. 54 And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee—he and his children with him. 55 For the children of Israel are servants to Me; they are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
