5 Mosebok 15
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
15 Hvert syvende år skal du la være et eftergivelses-år.
2 Og således skal det være med eftergivelsen: Hver den som har til gode noget han har lånt sin næste, skal eftergi ham det; han skal ikke kreve sin næste og sin bror, fordi der er lyst eftergivelse til Herrens ære.
3 Utlendingen kan du kreve, men det du har til gode hos din bror, skal du eftergi.
4 Rettelig skulde det nu ikke finnes nogen fattig hos dig; for Herren din Gud skal velsigne dig i det land som Herren din Gud gir dig til arv og eie,
5 bare du er lydig mot Herrens, din Guds røst, så du akter vel på å holde alle disse bud som jeg gir dig idag;
6 for Herren din Gud vil da visselig velsigne dig, således som han har tilsagt dig, og du skal låne til mange folk, men selv skal du ikke trenge til å låne av nogen, og du skal herske over mange folk, men de skal ikke herske over dig.
7 Når det er en fattig hos dig, blandt dine brødre i nogen av byene i det land som Herren din Gud gir dig, da skal du ikke være hårdhjertet og lukke din hånd for din fattige bror;
8 men du skal lukke op din hånd for ham og låne ham det han mangler og trenger til.
9 Vokt dig at det ikke kommer en ond tanke op i ditt hjerte, så du sier: Nu er det snart det syvende år, eftergivelses-året, og du ser med onde øine på din fattige bror og ikke gir ham noget! For da kommer han til klage over dig til Herren, og du fører synd over dig.
10 Du skal gjerne gi ham, og det skal ikke gjøre ditt hjerte ondt når du gir ham; for da skal Herren din Gud velsigne dig i alt ditt arbeid og i alt det du tar dig fore.
11 For fattige kommer det alltid til å være i landet; derfor byder jeg dig og sier: Du skal lukke op din hånd for din bror, for de trengende og fattige som du har i ditt land.
12 Når nogen av ditt folk, en hebraisk mann eller kvinne, blir solgt[a] til dig, da skal han tjene dig i seks år; men i det syvende år skal du gi ham fri, så han kan gå hvor han vil.
13 Og når du gir ham fri, skal du ikke la ham gå tomhendt fra dig.
14 Du skal sørge vel for ham med gaver av ditt småfe og fra din treskeplass og fra din vinperse; av det som Herren din Gud har velsignet dig med, skal du gi ham.
15 Du skal komme i hu at du selv har vært træl i Egyptens land, og at Herren din Gud fridde dig ut; derfor byder jeg dig dette idag.
16 Men sier han til dig: Jeg vil ikke gå bort fra dig, fordi han har det godt hos dig og holder av dig og dine,
17 da skal du ta en syl og stikke den gjennem hans øre inn i døren, så skal han være din tjener for all tid; det samme skal du gjøre med din tjenestepike.
18 La det ikke falle dig tungt at du gir ham fri og sender ham fra dig! For i seks år har han optjent for dig dobbelt så meget som du måtte ha gitt en dagarbeider i lønn, og Herren din Gud skal velsigne dig i alt det du gjør.
19 Alt førstefødt av hankjønn som fødes blandt ditt storfe og ditt småfe, skal du hellige Herren din Gud; du skal ikke bruke det førstefødte av ditt storfe til arbeid, og du skal ikke klippe det førstefødte av ditt småfe.
20 For Herrens, din Guds åsyn skal du og ditt hus ete det hvert år på det sted Herren utvelger.
21 Men er det noget lyte på det, er det halt eller blindt eller har noget annet ondt lyte, da skal du ikke ofre det til Herren din Gud.
22 Hjemme i dine byer kan du ete det; både den urene og den rene kan ete det, som om det var et rådyr eller en hjort.
23 Men dets blod skal du ikke ete; du skal helle det ut på jorden likesom vann.

The Year for Canceling Debts(A)
15 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.(B) 2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed. 3 You may require payment from a foreigner,(C) but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you. 4 However, there need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless(D) you, 5 if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow(E) all these commands I am giving you today. 6 For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.(F)
7 If anyone is poor(G) among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted(H) toward them. 8 Rather, be openhanded(I) and freely lend them whatever they need. 9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,(J) is near,” so that you do not show ill will(K) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.(L) 10 Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;(M) then because of this the Lord your God will bless(N) you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. 11 There will always be poor people(O) in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.(P)
Freeing Servants(Q)(R)
12 If any of your people—Hebrew men or women—sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free.(S) 13 And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. 14 Supply them liberally from your flock, your threshing floor(T) and your winepress. Give to them as the Lord your God has blessed you. 15 Remember that you were slaves(U) in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you.(V) That is why I give you this command today.
16 But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 17 then take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your female servant.
18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because their service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
The Firstborn Animals
19 Set apart for the Lord(W) your God every firstborn male(X) of your herds and flocks.(Y) Do not put the firstborn of your cows to work, and do not shear the firstborn of your sheep.(Z) 20 Each year you and your family are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose.(AA) 21 If an animal has a defect,(AB) is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.(AC) 22 You are to eat it in your own towns. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it, as if it were gazelle or deer.(AD) 23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.(AE)
Deuteronomy 15
King James Version
Deuteronomy 15
King James Version
15 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.
3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
12 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20 Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy household.
21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.
22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
