申命記 15
1 每過七年，應施行豁免。
In the seuenthe yeer thou schalt make remyssioun,
2 豁免的方式是這樣：債主應把借與近人的一切，全部豁免，不應再向近人或兄弟追還，因為已為光榮上主宣佈了豁免。
that schal be fillid bi this ordre. To whom ony thing is `dettid, ethir owid of his freend, ether neiybore, and brother, he schal not mowe axe, for it is the yeer of remyssioun of the Lord.
3 向外邦人可以追還，但你兄弟欠你的應一概豁免。
Thou schalt axe of a pilgrym and comelyng; thou hast not power to axe of a citeseyn and neiybore;
4 其實，在你中間不會有窮人，因為在你的天主賜給你作為產業的地上，上主必豐厚地祝福你，
and outerli a nedi man and begger schal not be among you, that thi Lord God blesse thee, in the lond which he schal yyue to thee in to the possessioun.
5 只要你聽從上主你天主的話，謹守遵行我今日吩咐你的這一切誡命。
If netheles thou schalt here the vois of thi Lord God, and schalt kepe alle thingis whiche he comaundide, and whiche Y comaunde to dai to thee, he schal blesse thee, as he bihiyte.
6 因為你的天主必照他說的，祝福你：你要借給許多民族，而你卻不需要借貸；你要統治許多民族，但他們卻不會統治你。
Thou schalt leene to many folkis, and thou schalt not take borewyng of ony man; thou schalt be lord of ful many naciouns, and no man schal be lord of thee.
7 如果在上主你的天主賜給你的地內的一座城裏，在你中間有了一個窮人，又是你的兄弟，對這窮苦的兄弟，不可心硬，不可袖手旁觀，
If oon of thi britheren that dwellen with ynne the yatis of thi citee, in the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, cometh to pouert, thou schalt not make hard thin herte, nether thou schalt `drawe to gydere the hond,
8 應向他伸手，凡他所需要的儘量借給他。
but thou schalt opene it to the pore man, and thou schalt `yyue loone to which thou siest hym haue nede.
9 你應提防，不要心生惡念說：「第七年的豁免年快到了! 」就冷眼對待你窮苦的兄弟，不借給他什麼。如果他呼求上主反對你，你應負罪。
Be thou war lest perauenture wickid thouyt crepe priueli to thee, and thou seie in thin herte, The seuenthe yeer of remyssioun neiyeth; and thou turne awey the iyen fro thi pore brother, and thou nyle yyue to hym the loone that he axith; lest he crie ayens thee to the Lord, and it be maad to thee in to synne.
10 你應盡量供給他；供給他時，不應傷心，因為為了這事，上主你的天主必在你的一切工作，和你著手所作的一切事上祝福你。
But thou schalt yyue to hym, and thou schalt `not do ony thing falsly in releuynge `hise nedis, that thi Lord God blesse thee in al tyme, and in alle thingis to whiche thou schalt sette to hond.
11 既然在這地上總少不了窮人，為此我吩咐你說：對你地區內困苦貧窮兄弟，你應大方地伸出援助之手。
Pore men schulen not faile in the lond of `thin habitacioun; therfor Y comaunde to thee, that thou opene the hond to thi brother nedi and pore, that lyuen with thee in the lond.
12 你的兄弟，無論是希伯來男人，或是希伯來女人，若賣身與你，只應服事你六年，在第七年上，你應使他自由。
Whanne thi brothir an Ebrew man, ethir an Ebrew womman, is seeld to thee, and hath serued thee sixe yeer, in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt delyuere hym fre.
13 使他自由時，不可讓他空手離去；
And thou schalt not suffre hym go awey voide, to whom thou hast yyue fredom;
14 應由你羊群中，打禾場上，榨酒池內，取一些厚厚地酬報他，照上主你的天主祝福你的，分給他。
but thou schalt yyue lijflode in the weye, of flockis, and of cornfloor, and of thi pressour, in whiche thi Lord God hath blessid thee.
15 應記得你在埃及地也曾做過奴隸，上主你的天主將你贖回。為此我今日特將這事吩咐你。
Haue thou mynde that also thou seruedist in the lond of Egipt, and thi Lord God delyurede thee, `ether made thee free, and therfor Y comaunde now to thee.
16 倘若他對你說：「我不願離開你，」因為他愛你和你的家庭，又喜歡同你在一起，
Forsothe if `the seruaunt seith, Y nyle go out, for he loueth thee, and thin hows, and feelith that it is wel to hym at thee, thou schalt take `a nal,
17 你就拿錐子在門上把他耳朵刺透，他便永遠成了你的奴僕；對你的婢女也該這樣做。
and thou schalt peerse his eere in the yate of thin hous, and he schal serue thee til in to the world, `that is til to the iubilee, ethir fiftithe yeer; also thou schalt do in lijk maner to the handmayde.
18 使他自由的時候，你不應感到不滿，因為他六年給你服務，應得傭工的雙倍工資，並且上主你的天主也必在你所做的事業上祝福你。
Thou schalt not turne awei fro hem thin iyen, whanne thou schalt delyure hem fre, for bi the hire of an hirid man thei serueden thee bi sixe yeer; that thi Lord God blesse thee, in alle the werkis whiche thou doist.
19 你的牛羊中所生的，凡是頭胎雄性的，都應祝聖與上主你的天主；你不可使頭胎公牛耕作，也不可剪頭胎公羊的毛。
Of the first gendrid thingis that ben borun in thi droues, and scheep, what euer is of male kynde, thou schalt halewe to thi Lord God. Thou schalt not worche in the firste gendrid thing `of oxe, and thou schalt not clippe the firste gendrid thinges of scheep.
20 你和你的家屬，年年在上主所選的地方，在上主你的天主面前，吃這些首生的牲畜。
Thou schalt ete tho bi alle yeeris in the siyt of thi Lord God, thou, and thin hows, in the place `which the Lord chees.
21 但如果這牲畜有殘缺、或腿瘸、或瞎眼、或有任何缺點、你不可祭獻給上主你的天主，
Sotheli if it hath a wem, ethir is crokid, ethir is blynd, ethir is foul, ethir feble in ony part, it schal not be offrid to thi Lord God;
22 可在家裏吃，不潔與潔淨的，人都可以吃，如吃羚羊和鹿一樣；
but thou schalt ete it with ynne the yatis of thi citee, bothe a cleene man and vncleene schulen ete tho in lijk maner, as a capret and an hert.
23 只不可吃牠的血，應將血如水一樣潑在地上。
Onely thou schalt kepe this, that thou ete not the blood of tho, but schede out as watir in to erthe.
