¹Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,

¹ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne Sinayi tondo ra, ka ne:

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

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.

² «Ma salaŋ Israyla izey se ka ne: D'araŋ furo laabo kaŋ ay g'araŋ no din ra, kala laabo ma fulanzamay haggoy Rabbi se.

²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Jehovah.

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

³ Jiiri iddu no ni ga ni faro duma. Jiiri iddu mo no ni ga ni reyzin* kalo hanse k'a izey kosu.

³Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;

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.

⁴ Amma jiiri iyyanta ga ciya sududuyaŋ fulanzamay Rabbi se. Ma si ni faro duma, ma si ni reyzin kalo hanse mo.

⁴but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

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.

⁵ Jarawo kaŋ ga te heemaro waate, ni ma s'a wi. Reyzin izey kaŋ ni kalo kaŋ ni mana hanse din ga hay mo, ni ma s'i kosu. Fulanzamay hanno jiiro nooya laabo se.

⁵That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

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.

⁶ Haŋ kaŋ laabo ga hay nga boŋ se fulanzamay jiiro ra a ga te araŋ se ŋwaari, nin da ni bannya da ni koŋŋa, da ni goy-ize, da ni ce-yawo mo.

⁶And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee.

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

⁷ A ga te mo ni almaney se, da laabo ganjo ra ham kulu se -- i se no jaraw kulu ga te ŋwaari.

⁷And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

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.

⁸ Koyne, ni ga fulanzamay jiiri iyye lasaabu ni boŋ se, sanda jiiri iyye hala sorro iyye. Jirbey kulu hala fulanzamay jiiri iyya ma kubay ga to jiiri waygu afo si nooya.

⁸And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

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.

⁹ Waato din gaa ni ma kaakaaci kar da gaabi ka fe handu iyyanta ra, a jirbi waya hane. Sasabandiyaŋ zaaro nooya kaŋ araŋ ga kaakaaci kar ka fe araŋ laabo me-a-me ra.

⁹Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.

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.

¹⁰ Araŋ ma jiiri wayguwanta ciya hanante. Araŋ ma burcinitaray fe laabo kulu ra, laab'izey kulu se. A ga goro Yubili* araŋ se. Boro fo kulu ga ye nga mayray haro do. Boro kulu mo ga ye nga fu borey do.

¹⁰And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

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.

¹¹ Jiiri waygo din ga ciya araŋ se Yubili. Araŋ ma si duma, araŋ ma si jaraw wi mo jiiro din ra. Reyzin nyaŋey kaŋ yaŋ araŋ mana hanse mo, wa s'i kosu.

¹¹A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of the undressed vines.

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

¹² Zama Yubili no. A ma hanan araŋ se, araŋ m'a albarka kaŋ ga fun fari ra ŋwa.

¹²For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

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

¹³ Yubili jiiro din ra mo, boro kulu ga ye fu nga mayray haro do.

¹³In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

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

¹⁴ Da ni na hay fo neera ni gorokasin se, wala ni na hay fo day a gaa, araŋ ma si zamba te care se.

¹⁴And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.

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.

¹⁵ Mate kaŋ cine Yubili banda jiirey baa nd'a, yaadin no ni ga day ni gorokasin gaa. Mate kaŋ jiirey baa kaŋ i ga farey wi no a g'a neera ni se.

¹⁵According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

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.

¹⁶ D'i na jiirey lasaabu kaŋ i baa, yaadin cine no i ga daymi nooro tonton. Da jiirey mana baa, yaadin cine no i ga daymi nooro zabu, zama heemar wiyaŋ lasaabu no a g'a neera ni se d'a.

¹⁶According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee.

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

¹⁷ Araŋ ma si care zamba mo, amma ni ma humburu ni Irikoyo, zama ay ya Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo no.

¹⁷And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

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

¹⁸ Woodin sabbay se, araŋ m'ay hin sanney te, ka haggoy d'ay farilley k'i te, araŋ ga goro laabo ra mo baani samay.

¹⁸Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

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

¹⁹ Laabo mo ga nga albarka hay. Araŋ ma ŋwa ka kungu, ka goro a ra baani samay.

¹⁹And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

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

²⁰ D'araŋ ga ne: ‹Ifo no iri ga ŋwa jiiri iyyanta ra? Zama guna, iri si duma, iri si daŋ barma ra mo.›

²⁰And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;

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

²¹ Kal ay m'ay albarka lordi araŋ boŋ jiiri iddanta ra a ma albarka hay kaŋ ga naŋ a ma wasa araŋ se jiiri hinza din se.

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

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.

²² Jiiri ahakkanta araŋ ga duma ka soobay ka barma zeeney ntaaso ŋwa. Hala jiiri yagganta heemaro ga furo, araŋ ga ŋwa barma zeeney gaa.

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

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

²³ I ma si laabo neera hal abada, zama laabo ya ay wane no. Araŋ mo yawyaŋ no kaŋ yaŋ zumbu ay gaa.

²³And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

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

²⁴ Araŋ mayray laabo kulu ra mo, araŋ ma yadda i ma laabu fansa.

²⁴And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

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.

²⁵ Da ni nya-ize te talka hal a na nga mayray haro jara neera, waato din gaa no a dumi kaŋ dumitara ga maan g'a kaa. Haŋ kaŋ a nya-izo neera din, a m'a fansa*.

²⁵If thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

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

²⁶ Da bora din sinda boro kulu kaŋ g'a fansa, nga bumbo ye ka te arzaka mo, kaŋ ga naŋ a ga du k'a fansa,

²⁶And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it;

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.

²⁷ kal a ma jiirey lasaabu za alwaato kaŋ i n'a neera. Haŋ kaŋ cindi mo a ma bana bora din kaŋ se i n'a neera din se. Koyo ga ye ka furo nga mayray haro ra.

²⁷then let him reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.

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.

²⁸ Amma d'a mana hin ka du a nga boŋ se, kala haya kaŋ a neera ma goro bora kaŋ n'a day din kambe ra kala Yubili jiiro waate. Yubili jiiro ra mo a ga fatta. Koyo ga ye nga mayra do.

²⁸But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

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.

²⁹ Da boro fo na fu neera kwaara birni cinarikoy ra, a ga hin k'a fansa hala jiiri fo ga kubay a neerayaŋo banda. Hala jiiri fo ga kubay a gonda fondo a m'a fansa.

²⁹And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

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.

³⁰And if it be not 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 that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.

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.

³¹But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

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

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

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.
