1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى عَلَى جَبَلِ سِيناءَ:

The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,

2 « قُلْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: حِينَ تَدخُلُونَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي سَأُعطِيها لَكُمْ، أرِيحُوا الأرْضَ منَ الزِّراعَةِ فِي كُلِّ سابِعِ سَنَةٍ لإكرامِ اللهِ.

“Say to the people of Israel, ‘When you come to the land I will give you, then the land will have a Year of Rest to the Lord.

3 ل ِسِتِّ سَنَواتٍ يُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَزرَعَ حَقلَكَ وَتُقَلِّمَ كَرمَكَ وَتَجمَعَ الغِلالَ.

Six years you will plant seeds in your field. Six years you will take care of your vines and gather their fruit.

4 أ مّا السَّنَةُ السّابِعَةُ فَتَكُونُ راحَةً تامَّةً لِلأرْضِ، سَبتاً لإكرامِ اللهِ. لا تَزرَعْ فِيها حَقلَكَ وَلا تُقَلِّمْ كَرْمَكَ.

But the seventh year will be a Year of Rest for the land, a Year of Rest to the Lord. You will not plant seeds in your field or take care of your vines.

5 و َلا تَحصُدِ المَحاصِيلَ الَّتِي تَنمُو مِنْ ذاتِها، وَلا تَجمَعْ عِنَبَ الكُرُومِ غَيرِ المُقَلَّمَةِ. إنَّها سَنَةُ راحَةٍ تامَّةٍ لِلأرْضِ.

You will not gather what grows of itself in your field. And do not gather the fruit of the vines that have not been cared for. The land will have a Year of Rest.

6 « أمَّا ما تُخرِجُهُ الأرْضُ مِنْ ذاتِها فِي سَنَةِ راحَتِها سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ طَعاماً لَكَ وَلِعَبدِكَ وَلِأمَتِكَ وَلِأجِيرِكَ وَلِلغَرِيبِ السّاكِنِ مَعَكُمْ،

During the Year of Rest the land will give food for you, for your men and women servants, the man you pay to work for you, and the stranger who lives with you.

7 و َلِماشِيَتِكَ وَلِلحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي فِي أرْضِكَ. كُلُّ ما تُنتِجُهُ الأرْضُ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ طَعاماً. سَنَةُ تَحرِيرِ العَبِيدِ: اليُوبِيل

Even your cattle and the animals in your land will have food to eat. The Fiftieth Year

8 « احسِبْ سَبعَ سِنِينَ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ، فَيَكُونُ مَجمُوعُها تِسعاً وَأربَعِينَ سَنَةً.

‘You are to number seven Years of Rest for yourself, seven times seven years. The time of the seven Years of Rest will be forty-nine years.

9 ث ُمَّ تَنفُخُونَ بِالبُوقِ فِي اليَومِ العاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ السّابِعِ، أي فِي يَومِ الكَفّارَةِ، فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

Then let the horn be heard on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the day to be made free from sin you will let a horn be heard all through your land.

10 ت َعْتَبِرُونَ السَّنَةَ الخَمسِينَ مُقَدَّسَةً وَمُمَيَّزَةً. فَتُعلِنُونَ فِيها العِتْقَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَعِيشُ فِي الأرْضِ. ادعُو هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ سَنَةَ اليُوبِيلِ. كُلُّ واحِدٍ فِيكُمْ سَيَعُودُ إلَى مُلكِهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ.

You will honor the fiftieth year as holy. And let it be known in all the land that all who are living there are free. It will be a happy time for you. Each of you will return to what is his. Each will return to his family.

11 س َتَكُونُ السَّنَةُ الخَمسُونَ يُوبِيلاً لَكُمْ. لا تَزرَعُوا فِيها وَلا تَحصُدُوا ما يَنبُتُ وَحْدَهُ، وَلا تَقطِفُوا العِنَبَ مِنَ الكُرُومِ غَيرِ المُقَلَّمَةِ.

That fiftieth year will be a happy time for you. You will not plant seeds in the field, or gather the food that grows of itself, or gather fruit from the vines that are not cared for.

12 ل ِأنَّ هَذِهِ سَنَةُ اليُوبِيلِ، وَهِيَ مُقَدَّسَةً لَكُمْ. يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَأكُلُوا ما يَتَساقَطُ مِنَ الثَّمَرِ وَحدَهُ.

This is a happy time. It will be holy to you. You will eat from what the field gives.

13 ف ِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ سَيَعُودُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ إلَى مُلكِهِ.

‘In this Year of Jubilee each one will have what was his.

14 « حِينَ تَبِيعُ مُلْكَكَ لِجارِكَ، أوْ حِينَ تَشتَرِي مِنْ جارِكَ، لا يَغِشَّ بَعضُكُمْ بَعضاً.

If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, do not do wrong to one another.

15 ا شْتَرِ مِنْ جارِكَ بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ السِّنِينِ مِنْ سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ السّابِقَةِ. يَنبَغِي أنْ يَبِيعَكَ بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ سِنِيِّ المَحاصِيلِ الباقِيَةِ حَتَّى اليُوبِيلِ التّالِي.

You will pay your neighbor by the number of years since the Year of Jubilee. And he will sell to you by the number of years the food may be gathered.

16 ك ُلَّما كانَتِ السَّنَواتُ الباقِيَةُ أكثَرَ يَرتَفِعُ سِعرُ الأرْضِ، وَكُلَّما قَلَّ عَدَدُ السَّنَواتِ يَنخَفِضُ سِعرُ الأرْضِ، لِأنَّهُ يَبِيعُ عَدَدَ المَحاصِيلِ لَكَ.

You will make the price more if there are many years, and make the price less if there are few years. For he is selling you the food that is gathered each year.

17 ل ا يَغِشَّ بَعضُكُمْ بَعضاً، بَلِ اخشُوا اللهَ، لِأنِّي أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

Do not do wrong to one another, but fear your God. I am the Lord your God. The Seventh Year

18 « أطِيعُوا شَرائِعِي، وَاحْفَظُوا أحكامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها كَي تَعِيشُوا فِي الأرْضِ بِأمانٍ.

‘So keep My Laws and do what I say, and you will be safe living in the land.

19 ف َتُعْطِي الأرْضُ غَلَّتَها، وَيَكُونُ لَدَيكُمْ طَعامٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَتَسكُنُونَ فِي أمانٍ.

Then the land will give its food, so you can eat all you want and be safe living there.

20 « وَإنْ قُلْتُمْ: ‹ماذا سَنَأكُلُ فِي السَّنَةِ السّابِعَةِ إنْ لَمْ نَزرَعْ وَلَمْ نَجمَعْ غَلّاتِ الأرْضِ؟›

If you say, “What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant seeds or gather in the food of our field?”

21 ف َإنِّي سَآمُرُ بِأنْ تَأتِيَ بَرَكَتِي عَلَيكُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ السّادِسَةِ، فَتُنتِجُ الأرْضُ غَلّاتٍ تَكفِي لِثَلاثِ سِنِينَ.

I will let My good come upon you in the sixth year, so it will give you enough food for three years.

22 ف َتَأكُلُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الغَلّاتِ بَينَما تَزرَعُونَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثّامِنَةِ. فَتأكُلُونَ مِنَ الغَلَّةِ القَدِيمَةِ حَتَّى حَصادِ السَّنَةِ التّاسِعَةِ. شَرائِعُ خاصَّةٌ بِالمُلكِيَّة

When you are planting seeds in the eighth year, you can still eat from the old store of food. You can eat the old food until the food of the ninth year is gathered.

23 « يُمْنَعُ أنْ تُباعَ الأرْضُ بِشَكلٍ دائِمٍ، لِأنَّ الأرْضَ لِي، وَأنتُمْ غُرَباءُ وَوُكَلاءُ يَسكُنُونَ أرْضِي.

‘The land will not be sold to be kept forever. For the land is Mine. You are only strangers staying with Me.

24 ف ِي كُلِّ أرْضِكُمُ الَّتِي تَمتَلِكُونَها، تَسمَحُونَ لِمالِكِ الأرْضِ الأصلِيِّ أنْ يَرُدَّها بِدَفعِ ثَمَنِها.

For all the land you have, you must be willing to let it go.

25 إ ذا افتَقَرَ قَرِيبُكَ وَباعَ جُزءاً مِنْ أرْضِهِ، فَعَلَى قَرِيبِهِ أنْ يَأتِيَ وَيَستَرِدَّ الأرْضَ الَّتِي باعَها قَرِيبُهُ.

When your brother becomes poor and sells some of his land, then one in his family who is near to him is to come and buy what his brother has sold.

26 ف َإنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرِيبٌ لِيَشتَرِيَها، لَكِنَّهُ استَطاعَ الحُصُولَ عَلَى ما يَكفِي مِنَ المالِ لِاستِعادَةِ أرْضِهِ،

But a man may have no one to buy his land, and he himself may become able to buy it again.

27 ف َحِينَئِذٍ، يَحسِبُ السَّنَواتِ مُنذُ باعَها، وَيَدفَعُ لِلمُشتَرِي مُقابِلَ ما تَبَقَّى مِنَ السَّنَواتِ، وَيَعُودُ إلَى أرْضِهِ.

Then he should add up the years since he sold it, and pay what is left of the price to the man to whom he sold it. So he will return to his own land.

28 ل َكِنْ إنْ لَمْ يَكَنْ قادِراً عَلَى شِرائِها ثانِيَةً، فَإنَّها تَبقَى مُلكاً لِلَّذِي اشتَراها إلَى سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ. وَفِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ، تُعتَقُ الأرْضُ، وَتَعُودُ إلَى صاحِبِها الأصلِيِّ.

But if he is not able to buy it again for himself, then what he has sold will belong to the one who bought it until the Year of Jubilee. In the Year of Jubilee it will be let go and he may return to it.

29 « إنْ باعَ رَجُلٌ بَيتاً فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُحاطَةٍ بِأسوارٍ، فَيُمكِنُ أنْ يَشتَرِيَهُ ثانِيَةً خِلالَ سَنَةٍ مِنْ بَيعِهِ. فَحَقُّهُ بِاسْتِعادَتِهِ مَحصُورٌ فِي سَنَةٍ واحِدَةٍ.

‘If a man sells a house within the walls of a city, he has the right to buy it back for a whole year from the time he sold it. He can buy it during that year.

30 ف َإنْ لَمْ يَشتَرِ البَيتَ قَبلَ اكتِمالِ السَّنَةِ، فَإنَّ البَيتَ فِي المَدِينَةِ المُحاطَةِ بِأسوارٍ يَصِيرُ مُلكاً دائِماً لِلَّذِي اشتَراهُ وَلِنَسلِهِ مِنْ بَعدِهِ، وَلَنْ يَتِمَّ تَحْرِيرُهُ فِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ.

But if it is not bought back again for him within a whole year, then the house within the city walls belongs forever to the family of the one who bought it. It will not be returned to him in the Year of Jubilee.

31 أ مّا البُيُوتُ الَّتِيُ فِي القُرَى الَّتِي بِلا أسوارٍ فَإنَّها تُعامَلُ كَمُعامَلَةِ الأرْضِ، إذْ يُمكِنُ لِصاحِبِها أنْ يَشتَرِيَها ثانِيَةً، وَيَتِمُّ تَحْرِيرُها فِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ.

But houses in towns that have no walls will be thought of as open fields. They may be let go, and will be returned in the Year of Jubilee.

32 « أمّا بُيُوتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّتِي فِي مُدُنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ المُحاطَةِ بِأسْوارٍ فَيُمكِنُ شِراؤُها ثانِيَةً فِي أيِّ وَقتٍ.

The houses in the cities of the Levites may be returned to the Levites at any time.

33 و َإنْ لَمْ يَشْتَرِ اللّاوِي بَيتَهُ ثانِيَةً، فَإنَّ ذَلِكَ البَيتَ يَعُودُ إلَى مالِكِهِ فِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ، لِأنَّ بُيُوتَ الَّلاوِيِّينَ فِي المُدُنِ مُلكٌ دائِمٌ لَهُمْ وَسَطَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

If a house is not bought again by a Levite, then the house that was sold in one of their cities will be returned to him in the Year of Jubilee. For the houses of the Levites belong to them among the people of Israel.

34 و َأمّا الأرْضُ الَّتِي حَولَ مُدُنِهِمْ فَلا يَجُوزُ بَيعُها لِأنَّها مُلْكٌ أبَدِيُّ لِجَمِيعِ اللّاوِيِّينَ. شَرائِعُ خاصَّةٌ بِالعِيد

But the open field of their cities must not be sold. It belongs to them forever. The Poor Paying Money Back

35 « إنِ افتَقَرَ واحِدٌ مِنْ إخْوَتِكَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، وَلَمْ يَستَطِعْ إعالَةَ نَفسِهِ، فَساعِدْهُ، حَتَّى وَإنْ كانَ غَرِيباً مُقِيماً فِي أرْضِكَ أوْ نَزيلاً.

‘If your brother becomes poor and is not able to pay you what he owes, then you should help him as you would help a stranger or visitor. So he may live with you.

36 ا خشَ إلَهَكَ وَلا تَأخُذْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الشَّخصِ رِباً، لِكَي يَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ العَيشِ بَينَكُمْ.

Do not make him pay for the use of the money he owes you. But fear your God, so your brother may live with you.

37 ل ا تُقرِضْهُ مالَكَ بِفائِدَةٍ، وَلا تُعطِهِ طَعامَكَ مُقابِلَ رِبحٍ.

Do not make him pay for the use of your money or your food.

38 أ نا إلَهُكُمْ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ لِأُعطِيَكُمْ أرْضَ كَنعانَ، وَلِأكُونَ إلَهَكُمْ.

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. About Servants and Workmen

39 « إنِ افتَقَرَ أحَدٌ مِنْ شَعبِكَ وَباعَ نَفْسَهُ لَكَ، فَلا تَسْتَعْبِدْهُ.

‘If your brother becomes so poor that he sells himself to you, do not make him work as a servant.

40 ب َلْ يَعْمَلُ لَدَيكَ كَأجِيرٍ أوْ وَكِيلٍ، وَيَخدِمُكَ إلَى سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ.

He will be as a man who is paid to work for you, as one who is traveling from place to place, until the Year of Jubilee.

41 ث ُمَّ يَترُكُكَ هُوَ وَأولادُهُ وَيَعُودُونَ إلَى عَشِيرَتِهِمْ وَأرْضِ آبائِهِمْ،

Then he will leave you, he and his children, that he may return to the land of his fathers.

42 ل ِأنَّهُمْ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ أخرَجتُهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ، فَلا يُباعُونَ كَعَبِيدٍ.

For I brought them out of the land of Egypt as My servants. They are not to be sold as a servant.

43 ل ا تَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيهِ بِقَسوَةٍ، بَلِ اخشَ إلَهَكَ.

Do not make it hard for him, but fear your God.

44 « يَنبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ عَبِيدُكَ وَجَوارِيكَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي حَولَكَ، فَتَشتَرِي العَبِيدَ وَالجَوارِيَ مِنهُمْ.

Those men and women you may have who are sold as servants will be from the nations around you.

45 و َيُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَشتَرِيَ عَبِيداً مِنْ أبناءِ الغُرَباءِ السّاكِنِينَ مَعَكُمْ، أوْ مِنْ عَشائِرِهِمِ السّاكِنَةِ مَعَكُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي أرْضِكَ. هَؤُلاءِ يَكُونُونَ مُلكاً لَكَ.

You may buy from among the children of the strangers who live among you, and from their families that are with you and were born in your land. You may own them.

46 ي ُمْكِنُكُمْ أنْ تُورِّثُوهُ لأولادِكُمْ كَمُلكٍ دائِمٍ. يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَستَعبِدُوا هَؤُلاءِ، وَأمّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فَلا تَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَيهِمْ بِقَسوَةٍ.

You may give them to your children after you, to receive as their own. You can have them as servants forever. But do not make it hard for your brothers, the people of Israel.

47 « إنِ اغتَنَى غَرِيبٌ أوْ زائِرٌ بَينَكُمْ، وَافتَقَرَ واحِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فَباعَ نَفسَهُ لِلغَرِيبِ أوِ الزّائِرِ، أوْ لِشَخصٍ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ الغَرِيبِ،

‘Now a stranger or one visiting you may become rich. And your brother may become so poor that he sells himself to a stranger living among you, or to the children of a stranger’s family.

48 ف َإنَّهُ بَعدَ بَيعِهِ يَنبَغِي شِراؤُهُ ثانِيَةً. يَفتَدِيهِ أخُوهُ

Then he may be made free after he has been sold. One of his brothers may pay the price to free him.

49 أ وْ عَمُّهُ أوِ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ أوْ قَرِيبٌ آخَرُ مِنْ عائِلَتِهِ. وَإنِ اغتَنَى هُوَ نَفسُهُ، فَيُمكِنُهُ أنْ يَفتَدِي نَفسَهُ.

His father’s brother, the son of his father’s brother, or one of his own family may pay the price to free him. Or if he becomes rich he may pay the price himself.

50 « فَيَحسِبُ العَبدُ وَمُشتَرِيهِ عَدَدَ السَّنَواتِ مِنْ سَنَةِ بَيعِهِ لِنَفسِهِ إلَى سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ، وَيُحَدَّدُ سِعْرُهُ بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ السَّنَواتِ. وَتَكُونُ فَترَةُ عُبُودِيَّتِهِ كَفَترَةِ عَمَلِ أجِيرٍ لَدَيهِ.

With the one who bought him he will add the years from the year he sold himself until the Year of Jubilee. The price for him to be set free will be decided upon by the number of years. The time he was with the man who owned him will be as that of a man paid to work for him.

51 ف َإنْ بَقِيَتْ سَنَواتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ إلَى سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ، يَدفَعُ ثَمَنَ تَحْرِيرِ نَفسِهِ حَسَبَ عَدَدِها.

If there are still many years, he will return a part of the price which was given for him.

52 و َإنْ بَقِيَتْ سَنَواتٌ قَلِيلَةٌ إلَى سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ، يَدفَعُ ثَمَنَ تَحْرِيرِ نَفسِهِ حَسَبَ عَدَدِها.

If there is only a few years until the Year of Jubilee, he will decide upon the amount of money with his owner. He should pay the price to be set free, decided upon by the number of years.

53 و َيَعِيشُ الإسْرائِيلِيُّ عِندَ الغَرِيبِ كَأجِيرٍ مِنْ سَنَةٍ لِأُخرَى، فَلا يَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيهِ بِقَسوَةٍ أمامَكُمْ.

He will be like a man paid to work for him year by year. Make sure his owner does not make it hard for him.

54 « وَإنْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ شِراؤُهُ ثانِيَةً بِأيَّةِ طَريقَةٍ، فَإنَّهُ سَيُعتَقُ هُوَ وَأولادُهُ فِي سَنَةِ اليُوبِيلِ.

Even if the price is not paid for him in this way, he will go free in the Year of Jubilee, he and his children.

55 ل ِأنَّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ خُدّامِي أنا. إنَّهُمْ خُدّامِي الَّذِينَ أخرَجتُهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ. أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

Because the people of Israel are My servants. They are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
