Deuteronomio 15
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Taon ng Pamamahinga(A)
15 “Ang bawat ikapitong taon ay gagawin ninyong taon ng pagpapatawad sa mga may utang sa inyo. 2 Ganito ang inyong gagawin: huwag na ninyong sisingilin ang kababayan ninyong may utang sa inyo, sapagkat ito'y taon ng pagpapatawad na itinakda ni Yahweh. 3 Ang mga dayuhan lamang ang sisingilin ninyo, at hindi ang inyong mga kababayan.
4 “Walang maghihirap sa inyo sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh sapagkat tiyak na pagpapalain niya kayo 5 kung makikinig kayo sa kanyang tinig at susunod sa kanyang mga utos na sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon. 6 Nangako si Yahweh na kayo'y pagpapalain niya. Hindi na kayo mangungutang kaninuman, sa halip ay kayo ang magpapautang sa maraming bansa. Hindi kayo masasakop ng sinuman, sa halip ay kayo ang mananakop sa maraming bayan.
7 “Pagdating(B) ninyo sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Yahweh, huwag ninyong pagkakaitan ng tulong ang mga kababayan ninyong nangangailangan. 8 Sa halip, ibukas ninyo sa kanila ang inyong mga palad at pahiramin sila ng anumang kailangan. 9 Huwag ninyong pagdadamutan ang inyong kababayan kapag nangungutang siya sa panahong malapit na ang ikapitong taon, ang taon ng pagpapatawad. Kapag sila'y tinanggihan ninyo at dumaing sila kay Yahweh, mananagot kayo sa kanya. 10 Pahiramin ninyo sila nang maluwag sa inyong kalooban at pagpapalain kayo ni Yahweh sa lahat ng inyong gagawin. 11 Kailanma'y(C) hindi kayo mawawalan ng mga kababayang mangangailangan, kaya sinasabi ko sa inyong ibukas ninyo ang inyong mga palad sa kanila.
Ang mga Tuntunin tungkol sa mga Alipin(D)
12 “Kapag(E) nakabili[a] kayo ng kapwa ninyong Israelita bilang alipin, babae o lalaki man, anim na taon siyang maglilingkod sa inyo. Pagdating ng ikapitong taon, palalayain na ninyo siya 13 at huwag ninyo siyang paaalisin nang walang dala. 14 Sa halip, bibigyan ninyo siya ng tupa, trigo, inumin at langis, mula sa mga ipinagkaloob sa inyo ni Yahweh. 15 Alalahanin ninyong naging alipin din kayo sa Egipto at mula roo'y pinalaya kayo ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh, kaya iniuutos ko ito ngayon sa inyo. 16 Ngunit kung gusto niyang manatili dahil sa pagmamahal niya sa inyo at sa inyong sambahayan, 17 dalhin ninyo siya sa may pintuan at butasan ang kanyang tainga. Sa gayon, siya'y magiging alipin ninyo habang buhay. Ganito rin ang gagawin ninyo sa mga aliping babae. 18 Hindi kayo dapat manghinayang sa ibibigay ninyo sa kanya kung aalis siya sapagkat ang ibibigay ninyo'y katumbas lamang ng upa sa isang manggagawang nagtrabaho nang tatlong taon. Gawin ninyo ito at pagpapalain ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh ang lahat ng inyong gagawin.
Ang Pagbubukod sa mga Panganay
19 “Lahat(F) ng panganay na lalaki ng inyong mga alagang hayop ay ibubukod ninyo para kay Yahweh; huwag ninyo itong pagtatrabahuhin ni gugupitan. 20 Ito ay kakainin ninyo sa harapan ni Yahweh, sa lugar na pipiliin niya. 21 Ngunit kung may kapansanan ang panganay na hayop, bulag o pilay, huwag ninyo itong ihahandog kay Yahweh na inyong Diyos. 22 Ito'y maaaring kainin sa bahay, tulad ng pagkain ninyo sa isang usa. Pati ang taong itinuturing na marumi ay maaaring kumain nito. 23 Huwag(G) ninyong kakainin ang dugo; kailangang patuluin ito sa lupa.

Deuteronomy 15
New International Version
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)
