15  Hei te mutunga o nga tau e whitu ka mea koe he tukunga noatanga.

A ko te tikanga tenei mo te tuku noa: ko nga kaiwhakatarewa moni katoa, e whakatarewa moni ana ki o ratou hoa, me tuku noa atu; kaua te kaiwhakatarewa e tohe ki tona hoa, ki tona teina ranei; no te mea e karangatia ana ko te tukunga noatanga a Ih owa.

He tangata iwi ke, tohea atu: ko tau mea ia i tou teina, me tuku noa e tou ringa.

Engari hoki me kore te rawakore i roto i a koe; ka manaaki rawa hoki a Ihowa i a koe i runga i te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kia tangohia hei kainga tupu:

Ki te ata whakarongo i a koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, kia puritia, kia mahia enei whakahau katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe.

No te mea ka manaakitia koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ka peratia me tana i ki ai ki a koe: a mau e whakatarewa moni ki nga iwi maha, ko koe ia kaua e tango i te moni tarewa; a ko koe hei ariki mo nga iwi maha, kahore hoki ratou e ariki ki a koe.

Ki te mea kei roto i a koe tetahi e rawakore ana, tetahi o ou teina, i roto i tetahi o ou kuwaha o tou whenua, e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kaua e whakauaua tou ngakau, kaua hoki e kopia tou ringa ki tou teina rawakore:

Engari me whakatuwhera marie tou ringa ki a ia, kia ngawari hoki ki te whakatarewa moni ki a ia kia rite ki tona mate i te mea e hapa ana i a ia.

Kia tupato kei puta ake te whakaaro kino i roto i tou ngakau, kei mea, E tata ana te tau whitu, te tau tuku noa; a ka kino tou kanohi ki tou teina rawakore, a e kore e hoatu e koe ki a ia; na ka tangi atu ia ki a Ihowa i a koe ka kino nei, a ka w hai hara koe.

10 Me tino hoatu e koe ki a ia, kaua hoki tou ngakau e pouri, ina hoatu e koe ki a ia: ko te mea hoki tenei e manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe, i au mahi katoa, i nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai tou ringa.

11 E kore hoki e kore te rawakore i te whenua: koia taku e whakahau nei ki a koe, e mea nei, Kia tuwhera tonu tou ringa ki tou teina, ki tou hunga matekai, ki ou rawakore, i tou whenua.

12 Ki te hokona atu ki a koe tou teina, he tane Hiperu, he wahine Hiperu ranei, a ka mahi ki a koe e ono nga tau; na hei te whitu o nga tau me tuku ia kia haere noa atu i a koe.

13 A, ki te tuku koe i a ia kia haere noa atu i a koe, kaua ia e tukua rawakoretia atu:

14 Engari kia mahorahora te hoatu ki a ia i etahi o au hipi, o tau patunga witi, o tau poka waina hoki: me hoatu ki a ia etahi o nga mea i hoatu e Ihowa, e tou Atua, hei manaaki mou.

15 Kia mahara hoki he pononga koe i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa, a na Ihowa, na tou Atua, koe i whakaora: koia ahau i whakahau ai i tenei mea ki a koe inaianei.

16 Na ki te mea ia ki a koe, E kore ahau e mawehe atu i a koe; he aroha hoki nona ki a koutou ko tou whare, he pai no tana noho ki a koe;

17 Katahi koe ka tango i tetahi mea poka, ka titi ai i tona taringa ki te tatau, a ka waiho ia hei pononga mau, oti tonu atu. Me pena hoki ki tau pononga wahine.

18 Kei mea he pakeke rawa ki a koe, ina tukua ia kia haere noa atu i a koe; e rite ana hoki ana mahi ki a koe i nga tau e ono ki a nga kaimahi tokorua e utua ana: a ka manaaki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe.

19 Ko nga toa matamua e whanau ana i roto i au kau, i au hipi, me whakatapu e koe ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua: kaua e whakamahia tau puru matamua, kaua hoki e kutikutia tau hipi matamua:

20 Kainga ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i tenei tau, i tenei tau, e koe, e tou whare, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua:

21 A ki te mea he koha tona, ina ra he totitoti, he matapo, tetahi atu koha kino ranei, kaua ia e patua ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua.

22 Kainga i roto i ou kuwaha: ma te poke, ma te pokekore taua mea e kai, pera me te kahera, me te hata.

23 Otiia kaua e kainga ona toto; ringihia atu ki te whenua, ano he wai.

Наредба за робите и бедните

15 В края на всяка седма година трябва да опрощаваш. Опрощаването пък се състои в това: всеки, който е дал назаем, да опрости заема на ближния си; да не го изисква от ближния си или от брат си, понеже е прогласено опрощаване заради Господа. От чужденец можеш да изискваш, но каквото имаш у брат си, опрости му го, за да няма сред вас сиромах. Защото Господ ще те благослови богато в страната, която Господ, твоят Бог, ти дава, за да я владееш, стига само да слушаш гласа на Господа, своя Бог, и старателно да изпълняваш всички тези заповеди, които днес ти заповядвам. Господ, твоят Бог, ще те благослови, както е обещал, и ти ще даваш назаем на много народи, но няма да вземаш назаем, ще владееш над много народи, но те няма да владеят над тебе.

(A)Ако пък имаш брат сиромах в някое от твоите селища в страната ти, която Господ, твоят Бог, ти дава, не показвай коравосърдечие и не стискай ръката си пред бедния си брат, (B)а отвори ръката си за него и му дай назаем толкова, колкото му е нужно. Само гледай да не ти мине през ум зла мисъл и да си речеш: „Наближава седмата година, годината на опрощаването“, да погледнеш недоброжелателно към бедния си брат и нищо да не му дадеш, така че той да извика против тебе към Господа и така да сториш грях. 10 Винаги бъди готов да му дадеш и когато му даваш, да не ти се свива сърцето, понеже Господ, твоят Бог, ще те благослови за това във всичките ти дела и във всичките ти начинания. 11 И понеже винаги ще има сиромаси в твоята страна, затова ти заповядвам: „Нека ръката ти щедро е отворена за твоя брат, за бедния и за изпадналия в нужда в страната ти.“

12 (C)(D)Ако твоят брат – евреин или пък еврейка, ти се продаде, нека ти слугува шест години, а на седмата година го пусни като свободен. 13 И когато го пускаш на свобода, не го отпращай с празни ръце; 14 дари го щедро с нещо от стадата си, от хармана и от лина си, дай му с каквото Господ, твоят Бог, те е благословил. 15 (E)Помни, че и ти беше роб в египетската страна и че Господ, твоят Бог, те избави; затова днес така ти заповядвам.

16 Но ако той каже: „Няма да си тръгна от тебе, понеже обичам тебе и дома ти“, защото при тебе му е добре, 17 тогава вземи шило и промуши ухото му на вратата – и той ще ти бъде роб завинаги; така постъпвай и с робинята си. 18 И нека не ти тежи, че си длъжен да го пуснеш като свободен; за шест години той ти е изработил двойно повече от платен наемник и Господ, твоят Бог, ще те благослови във всичко, каквото вършиш.

19 (F)Всяко първородно, което се роди от едрия и дребния добитък, ако е мъжко, посвещавай на Господа, своя Бог; с първороден добитък не работи и не стрижи първородните на добитъка си. 20 Тях яжте ежегодно, ти и твоят дом, пред Господа, своя Бог, на мястото, което избере Господ. 21 (G)Но ако животното е с недостатък – куцо, сляпо или с какъвто и да било недостатък, не го принасяй в жертва на Господа, своя Бог, 22 (H)а го яж там, където живееш; нечистият и чистият могат да ядат от него, както се яде газела или елен. 23 (I)Само кръвта му не бива да ядеш, изливай я на земята като вода.

Debts Canceled Every Seven Years(A)

15 “At the end of (B)every seven years you shall grant a [a]release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall [b]release it; he shall not [c]require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the Lord’s release. Of a foreigner you may require it; but you shall give up your claim to what is owed by your brother, except when there may be no poor among you; for the Lord will greatly (C)bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance— only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today. For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; (D)you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

Generosity to the Poor

“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the [d]gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, (E)you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, but (F)you shall [e]open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your (G)eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and (H)he cry out to the Lord against you, and (I)it become sin among you. 10 You shall surely give to him, and (J)your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because (K)for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. 11 For (L)the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall [f]open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

The Law Concerning Bondservants

12 (M)“If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is (N)sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13 And when you [g]send him away free from you, you shall not let him go away empty-handed; 14 you shall supply him liberally from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your winepress. From what the Lord your God has (O)blessed you with, you shall give to him. 15 (P)You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today. 16 And (Q)if it happens that he says to you, ‘I will not go away from you,’ because he loves you and your house, since he prospers with you, 17 then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise. 18 It shall not seem hard to you when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth (R)a double hired servant in serving you six years. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.

The Law Concerning Firstborn Animals

19 (S)“All the firstborn males that come from your herd and your flock you shall [h]sanctify to the Lord your God; you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. 20 (T)You and your household shall eat it before the Lord your God year by year in the place which the Lord chooses. 21 (U)But if there is a defect in it, if it is lame or blind or has any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. 22 You may eat it within your gates; (V)the unclean and the clean person alike may eat it, as if it were a gazelle or a deer. 23 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it on the ground like water.

The Year for Canceling Debts(A)

15 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.(B) 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. You may require payment from a foreigner,(C) but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you. 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, if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow(E) all these commands I am giving you today. 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)

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. Rather, be openhanded(I) and freely lend them whatever they need. 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)
