25 UJehova wakhuluma noMosi entabeni yeSinayi, wathi:
2 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Nanifika enarheni engininikela yona,+ kufuze nilalele umthetho kaJehova+ omalungana nomnyaka wesabatha begodu inarhenu kufuze iphumule.
3 Iminyaka esithandathu kufuze utjale esiminakho, iminyaka esithandathu kufuze uthene imithakho yamadiribe begodu uzokubuthelela isivuno senarha.+
4 Kodwana ngomnyaka wekhomba kufuze kube lisabatha lokuphumula kwenarha, isabatha lakaJehova. Akukafuzi utjale namkha uthene imithi yamadiribe.
5 Akukafuzi nivune ikoroyi ezimileleko keyasalako nanivuna ikoroyi begodu akukafuzi nibuthelele amadiribe wemithi engakathenwa. Kufuze kube mnyaka wokuphumula kwenarha.
6 Nanyana kunjalo ningadla ukudla okumila enarheni ngesikhathi sesabatha layo, nina, iingqila zenu eziduna nezisikazi, iinsebenzi zenu eziqatjhiweko nabantu abavela kwezinye iinarha abahlala hlangana nani bangakudla,
7 neenlwana ezifuywako nezommango ezisenarhenenu. Koke inarha ekukhiqizako kungadliwa.
8 “‘Nizokubala iminyaka yamasabatha alikhomba, iminyaka elikhomba ebuyelelwe kalikhomba begodu amalanga weminyaka yamasabatha alikhomba kuzokuba minyaka ema-49.
9 Nizokuvuthela iphondo lizwakale khulu ngenyanga yekhomba, ngelanga letjhumi lenyanga, ngeLanga lokuLitjalelwa kweZono.+
10 Kufuze nicwengise umnyaka wama-50 begodu nimemezele itjhaphuluko enarheni kibo boke abahlali bakhona.+ Uzokuba liJubili kini, ngamunye wenu uzokubuyela endawenakhe begodu ngamunye kufuze abuyele emndeninakhe.+
11 Iminyaka ema-50 izokuba liJubili kini. Akukafuzi nitjale namkha nivune ikoroyi ezimileleko keyasalako nanivuna ikoroyi namkha nibuthelele amadiribe wemithi engakathenwa.+
12 Ngombana liJubili. Kufuze licwengeke kini. Ningadla kwaphela lokho okuzimilelako enarheni.+
13 “‘Ngomnyaka lo weJubili, ngamunye wenu kufuze abuyele endawenakhe.+
14 Nangabe uthengisela omunye umuntu okuthileko namkha uthenge kuye, ningadlelezelani.+
15 Nawuthenga inarha komunye umuntu, kufuze ubale iminyaka edlule ngemva kweJubili, inani azokuthengisela ngalo lizokuya ngokuthi kusele iminyaka emingaki yokuvuna.+
16 Nangabe kusele iminyaka eminengi, angalikhuphula inani akuthengisela ngalo begodu nangabe kusele iminyaka embalwa, kufuze alehlise ngombana ukuthengisela inani lalokho okusazokuvunwa.
17 Akakho namunye kini okufuze adlelezele omunye umuntu,+ kufuze nisabe uZimenu+ ngombana nginguJehova uZimenu.+
18 Nanilalela imithetho nemiyalwami, nizokuhlala ngokuvikeleka enarheni.+
19 Inarha izokuthela+ begodu nizokudla benisuthe nihlale lapho ngokuvikeleka.+
20 “‘Kodwana nange nithi: “Sizokudlani ngomnyaka wekhomba nangabe asizukutjala namkha sibuthelele esikuvunileko?”+
21 Ngomnyaka wesithandathu ngizonithumela isibusiso begodu inarha izokukhiqiza isivuno esilingene iminyaka emithathu.+
22 Ngitjho nanyana nitjala ngomnyaka wobunane nizokuragela phambili nidla esivunweni somnyaka wesithandathu bekube mnyaka wethoba. Nizokuragela phambili nidla okuvuniweko bekube sivuno esilandelako.
23 “‘Akukafuzi nithengisele omunye umuntu inarha bona ayithathe unomphela+ ngombana ngeyami.+ Nina kimi nibabantu abavela kwenye inarha endaweni le.+
24 Kiyo yoke inarhenu, woke umuntu othengise inarha kufuze abe nelungelo lokuyithenga godu ibuye ibe ngeyakhe.
25 “‘Nangabe umfowenu uyatlhaga begodu athengise inarhakhe, isihlobo sakhe sizokuthenga lokho umfowabo akuthengisileko.+
26 Nange umuntu anganamhlengi kodwana anemali eyaneleko yokobana angayithenga,
27 kufuze abale iminyaka edlulileko kusukela ngesikhathi ayithengise ngaso. Uzokunikela umuntu loyo imali eseleko ngaphambi kobana kube mnyaka weJubili. Ngemva kwalokho, uzokubuyela endawenakhe.+
28 “‘Nange anganamali eyaneleko yokuyithenga ibe ngeyakhe godu, izokuhlala ibe ngeyomuntu oyithengileko bekube mnyaka weJubili;+ izokubuyela kuye ngeJubili begodu uzokubuyela endawenakhe.+
29 “‘Nange umuntu athengisa indlu edorobheni elivikelwe ngemithangala, ilungelo lakhe lokuyithengisa godu lizokuragela phambili bekube sekupheleni komnyaka kusukela ngesikhathi aqede ngaso ukuthengisa; ilungelo lakhe lokuyithenga+ godu lizokuhlala likhona umnyaka woke.
30 Kodwana nange ingathengwa godu bekuphele umnyaka, indlu esedorobheni elivikelwe ngemithangala izokuba ngeyomuntu oyithengileko unomphela kizo zoke iinzukulwana zakhe. Akukafuzi itjhatjhululwe ngeJubili.
31 Izindlu ezisemadorobheni angakavikelwa ngomthangala kufuze ziqalwe njengenarha evulekileko. Ilungelo lokuzithenga godu kufuze lirage begodu kufuze zitjhatjhululwe ngeJubili.
32 “‘Izindlu zamaLevi ezisemadorobhenawo,+ amaLevi azokuhlala anelungelo lokuzithenga godu.
33 Nangabe izindlu zamaLevi azithengwa godu, indlu yawo ethengiswe edorobheni izokutjhatjhululwa ngeJubili,+ ngombana izindlu ezisemadorobheni wamaLevi zizindlu zawo ezihlangana nama-Israyeli.+
34 Amadlelo+ abhode amadorobhawo akukafuzi athengiswe ngombana azokuhlala angewawo.
35 “‘Nangabe umfowenu uyatlhaga begodu akasakghoni ukuzitlhogomela, kufuze umtlhogomele+ njengalokha nawutlhogomela umuntu ovela kwenye inarha+ bona aragele phambili aphila.
36 Ungathathi inzalo namkha wenze inzuzo ngaye.+ Kufuze wesabe uZimakho+ begodu umfowenu uzokuragela phambili aphila.
37 Akukafuzi umboleke imali begodu ulindele inzalo+ namkha umthengisele ukudla bona ufumane inzalo.
38 NginguJehova uZimenu owanikhupha enarheni yeGibhide+ bona ngininikele inarha yeKanana, nginitjengise bona nginguZimenu.+
39 “‘Nange umfowenu atlhaga begodu kutlhogeke bona azithengise kuwe,+ akukafuzi umkatelele bona enze umsebenzi wesigqila.+
40 Kufuze umphathe njengesisebenzi,+ njengomuntu ovela kwenye inarha. Kufuze akusebenzele bekube mnyaka weJubili.
41 Ngemva kwalokho uzokukhamba nabantwabakhe abuyele emndeninakhe. Kufuze abuyele endaweni yabokhokho bakhe.+
42 Ngombana ama-Israyeli aziingqila zami engazikhupha enarheni yeGibhide.+ Akukafuzi azithengise ngendlela isigqila esithengiswa ngayo.
43 Akukafuzi umgandelele,+ kufuze usabe uZimakho.+
44 Nanifuna isigqila kungaba ngesiduna namkha esisikazi eentjhabeni ezinibhodileko, ningazithenga kizo.
45 Ningathenga iingqila emadodaneni wabantu abavela kwezinye iinarha abahlala hlangana nani+ nemindenini abanayo enarhenenu. Ningawathenga abe ziingqila zenu.
46 Iingqilezo ningazidlulisela ebantwaneni benu zibe lilifa labo begodu zizokuragela phambili ziziingqila zabo. Zinganisebenzela kodwana akukafuzi nigandelele abafowenu abama-Israyeli.+
47 “‘Nange umuntu ovela kwenye inarha anjinga begodu umfowenu atlhaga kutlhogeke bona azithengise kuye namkha kwelinye ilunga lomndeni womuntu ovela kwenye inarha,
48 uzokuragela phambili anelungelo lokuthengwa godu ngemva kobana azithengisile. Omunye wabafowabo angamthenga ambuyise,+
49 namkha usorhulwakhe namkha usonghwanakhe, umzawakhe namkha isihlobo, omunye womndenakhe angamthenga godu.
“‘Namkha nange anjinga angazithenga godu.+
50 Yena nomuntu omthengileko kufuze babale kusukela ngomnyaka azithengise ngawo bekube mnyaka weJubili+ begodu imali athengiswa ngayo izokuya ngokweminyaka leyo.+ Imali yamalangakhe wokusebenza hlangana nesikhatheso izokubalwa ngokwalokho isisebenzi esibhadelwa khona.+
51 Nangabe kusasele iminyaka eminengi, kufuze abuyise imali athengwe ngayo, kuye ngokweminyaka esaseleko.
52 Nangabe kusele iminyaka embalwa kwaphela ngaphambi kobana kube mnyaka weJubili, kufuze abale bekabhadele imali elingana neminyaka eseleko bona atjhatjhululwe.
53 Nakasasebenzela umphathakhe kufuze aphathwe njengesisebenzi begodu akukafuzi agandelelwe.+
54 Kodwana nakangakghoni ukuzithenga ngokweendlela ezibaliwekwezi, uzokutjhatjhululwa ngomnyaka weJubili,+ yena nabantwabakhe.
55 “‘Ngombana ama-Israyeli aziingqila zami. Aziingqila zami engazikhupha enarheni yeGibhide.+ NginguJehova uZimenu.
