¹Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,

¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu na gori Sinaju, rekoč:

²“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to Yahweh.

²Govori sinovom Izraelovim ter jim reci: Ko pridete v deželo, ki vam jo jaz dam, naj praznuje dežela soboto GOSPODU.

³Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;

³Šest let obsevaj njivo svojo in šest let obrezuj vinograd svoj in spravljaj sadove njegove,

⁴but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

⁴ali sedmo leto naj dobi dežela soboto prazničnega počitka, čas počitka GOSPODU: njive svoje ne obsevaj in vinograda svojega ne obrezuj.

⁵What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

⁵Kar ti samo od sebe zraste po zadnji žetvi, ne žanji, in grozdja neobrezane trte svoje ne spravljaj: leto prazničnega počitka naj bode zemlji.

⁶The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.

⁶In sobotni obrodek dežele vam bodi v jed, tebi in hlapcu tvojemu in dekli tvoji, in najemniku tvojemu in tujcu, ki biva pri tebi;

⁷For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.

⁷tudi živini tvoji in zverini, ki je v tvoji deželi, bodi v živež ves njen obrodek.

⁸“‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.

⁸Dalje si štej sedmero sobotnih let, sedem let sedemkrat, da ti bode dni sedmerih sobotnih let devetinštirideset let.

⁹Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.

⁹In daj glasno trobentati deseti dan sedmega meseca; na dan sprave naj se razlega trobenta po vsej deželi vaši.

¹⁰You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.

¹⁰In posvetite petdeseto leto in razglasite svobodo po deželi vsem prebivalcem njenim; leto veselega trobentanja [Hebr. jobel, odtod: jubilejsko leto.] vam bodi, ko naj se vsakdo vrne k lastnini svoji in vsakdo zopet pride k rodovini svoji.

¹¹That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.

¹¹Leto veselega trobentanja vam bodi tisto petdeseto: ne sejte in ne žanjite tega, kar samo v njem zraste, in grozdja neobrezanih trt ne trgajte v njem.

¹²For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.

¹²Zakaj leto veselega trobentanja je, sveto vam bodi; kar obrodi, uživajte kar ž njive.

¹³“‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.

¹³V tem milostnem letu naj vsakdo zopet posede lastnino svojo.

¹⁴“‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.

¹⁴In če kaj prodaste bližnjemu ali kaj kupite od bližnjega svojega, ne smete drug drugega opehariti.

¹⁵According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.

¹⁵Po številu let od milostnega leta kupi od bližnjega svojega in po število letin naj ti proda.

¹⁶According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.

¹⁶Čim več bode let, tem večja bodi kupnina, in čim manj let, tem manjša bodi; kajti število žetev se prodaja.

¹⁷You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.

¹⁷Zato naj nihče ne opehari bližnjega svojega, temuč boj se Boga svojega; zakaj jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš.

¹⁸“‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

¹⁸Izpolnjujte torej moje postave in pazite na moje pravice in ravnajte po njih, in brezskrbno boste prebivali v deželi.

¹⁹The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

¹⁹In zemlja bo rodila sad svoj, in jedli boste dositega in prebivali v njej brez skrbi.

²⁰If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase”;

²⁰Če pa porečete: Kaj bomo jedli sedmo leto? glej, ne bomo sejali, ne spravljali pridelkov svojih!

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

²¹Zapovem, da vam pride blagoslov moj v šestem letu, in obrodi pridelkov za tri leta;

²²You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.

²²in boste sejali v osmem letu in jedli stare pridelke do devetega leta; dokler ne dozore njegovi pridelki, boste jedli starino.

²³“‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.

²³In zemlja naj se ne prodaja za vselej, zakaj moja je zemlja, ker vi ste tujci in priseljenci pri meni.

²⁴In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.

²⁴Zato dovolite po vsej deželi posestva svojega, da se zemlja odkupi.

²⁵“‘If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.

²⁵Ako obuboža brat tvoj in proda kaj posesti svoje, naj pride odkupitelj njegov, njemu najbližji sorodnik, in odkupi prodani del brata svojega.

²⁶If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;

²⁶Ako bi pa komu ne bilo odkupitelja, pa si sam opomore in pridobi, kolikor je treba v odkup:

²⁷then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.

²⁷naj šteje, na koliko let je prodal, in ostala leta poplačaj njemu, komur je prodal, in tako naj zopet dobi posest svojo.

²⁸But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.

²⁸Ako pa ne premore toliko, kolikor bi moral povrniti, naj ostane njegova prodana stvar kupcu v rokah do milostnega leta; in v milostnem letu se stvar oprosti, in on dobi zopet posest svojo.

²⁹“‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.

²⁹Ako kdo proda hišo v mestu z obzidjem, naj jo sme odkupiti do konca leta, v katerem jo je prodal; celo leto imej pravico do odkupa.

³⁰If it isn’t redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.

³⁰Če je pa ne odkupi, ko preteče celo leto, naj ostane hiša v mestu z obzidjem v lasti njemu, ki jo je kupil, za prihodnje rodove; ne more se rešiti v milostnem letu.

³¹But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

³¹Toda hiše v vaseh, ki nimajo obzidja, naj se prištevajo njivam na deželi: smejo se odkupiti in v milostnem letu naj bodo proste.

³²“‘Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.

³²Kar se pa tiče mest levitov, hiš v mestih njih posesti, vselej ostani levitom pravica do odkupa.

³³The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

³³In če kdo izmed levitov ne odkupi, v milostnem letu naj mu zopet pripade hiša, ki je bila prodana v mestu posesti njegove; kajti hiše v levitskih mestih so njih posestvo med sinovi Izraelovimi.

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

³⁴Tudi polje v okolici njih mest se ne sme prodajati, ker jim je to večna posest.

³⁵“‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support him among you; then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.

³⁵In ako brat tvoj poleg tebe obuboža in mu roka opeša, podpiraj ga, kakor tujec in naselnik naj živi pri tebi.

³⁶Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you.

³⁶Ne jemlji od njega zakupnine in obresti, temuč boj se Boga svojega, da živi brat tvoj pri tebi.

³⁷You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.

³⁷Denarja svojega mu ne dajaj na obresti in hrane svoje ne zaradi dobička.

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

³⁸Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš, ki sem vas peljal iz dežele Egiptovske, da bi vam dal deželo Kanaansko, da bi vam bil za Boga.

³⁹“‘If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave.

³⁹In ako brat tvoj obuboža poleg tebe in se ti proda, ne sili ga, naj ti služi za sužnja;

⁴⁰As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee:

⁴⁰kakor najemnik in kakor naselnik bodi pri tebi, do milostnega leta.

⁴¹then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.

⁴¹Tedaj naj odide prost od tebe, on in otroci njegovi ž njim, in se vrne zopet k rodovini svoji in zopet dobi posest očetov svojih.

⁴²For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.

⁴²Zakaj moji hlapci so, ki sem jih peljal iz dežele Egiptovske: ne smeš jih prodajati kakor sužnje.

⁴³You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.

⁴³Ne bodi mu neusmiljen gospodar, temuč boj se svojega Boga.

⁴⁴“‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.

⁴⁴In kar se tiče sužnjev in sužnic, ki jih boš imel: izmed narodov, ki bodo okoli vas, smete kupovati sužnje in sužnice.

⁴⁵Moreover of the children of the aliens who live among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.

⁴⁵Tudi od priseljencev, ki bivajo pri vas, jih smete kupovati, in od njih rodovine, ki so jo rodili v deželi vaši, in bodo naj lastnina vaša;

⁴⁶You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.

⁴⁶ne smete jih zapustiti kot dediščino otrokom svojim za sabo, da jim bodo v lastnino. Ti naj vam hlapčujejo za vselej; ali bratom svojim, sinovom Izraelovim, brat svojemu bratu, ne smete neusmiljeno gospodovati.

⁴⁷“‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger’s family;

⁴⁷Ako pa obogati tujec ali priseljenec pri tebi, in brat tvoj obuboža poleg njega in se proda tujcu, priseljencu pri tebi, ali pa komu iz zaroda tujčevega:

⁴⁸after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;

⁴⁸naj mu ostane pravica do odkupa, eden bratov njegovih naj ga odkupi;

⁴⁹or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.

⁴⁹ali stric njegov ali stričev sin, ali kdorkoli mu je bližnji iz rodbine njegove, naj ga odreši; ali pa če si opomore, naj se sam odkupi.

⁵⁰He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to 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 he be with him.

⁵⁰In naj računi s kupcem svojim od leta, ko se mu je prodal, do milostnega leta, in prodajna cena naj se odmeri po številu let; kakor najemniku naj se mu štejejo dnevi, kolikor jih je odslužil.

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

⁵¹Če je še dosti let, njim primerno naj poplača za odkup od denarja, s katerim je bil kupljen;

⁵²If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.

⁵²in če ostaja malo let do milostnega leta, naj mu zaračuni to: proti letom naj poplača ceno odrešitve svoje.

⁵³As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.

⁵³Kakor najemnik leto za letom naj bode pri njem; oni mu ne bodi neusmiljen gospodar, tebi pred očmi.

⁵⁴If he isn’t redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him.

⁵⁴In ako ne bo odkupljen na ta način, naj odide prost v milostnem letu, on in otroci njegovi ž njim.Meni namreč so hlapci sinovi Izraelovi, moji hlapci so, ki sem jih peljal iz dežele Egiptovske. Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš.

⁵⁵For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

⁵⁵Meni namreč so hlapci sinovi Izraelovi, moji hlapci so, ki sem jih peljal iz dežele Egiptovske. Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš.
