申命记 15
1 “每逢七年末一年，你要施行豁免。
In the seventh year thou shalt make a remission,
2 豁免的定例乃是这样：凡债主要把所借给邻舍的豁免了；不可向邻舍和弟兄追讨，因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了。
Which shall be celebrated in this order. He to whom any thing is owing from his friend or neighbour or brother, cannot demand it again, because it is the year of remission of the Lord,
3 若借给外邦人，你可以向他追讨；但借给你弟兄，无论是什么，你要松手豁免了。
Of the foreigner or stranger thou mayst exact it: of thy countryman and neighbour thou shalt not have power to demand it again.
4 你若留意听从耶和华—你 神的话，谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你这一切的命令，就必在你们中间没有穷人了（在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上，耶和华必大大赐福与你。）
And there shall be no poor nor beggar among you: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in the land which he will give thee in possession.
Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep all things that he hath ordained, and which I command thee this day, he will bless thee, as he hath promised.
6 因为耶和华—你的 神必照他所应许你的赐福与你。你必借给许多国民，却不致向他们借贷；你必管辖许多国民，他们却不能管辖你。
Thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt borrow of no man. Thou shalt have dominion over very many nations, and no one shall have dominion over thee.
7 “在耶和华—你 神所赐你的地上，无论哪一座城里，你弟兄中若有一个穷人，你不可忍着心、揝着手不帮补你穷乏的弟兄。
If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within the gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand,
8 总要向他松开手，照他所缺乏的借给他，补他的不足。
But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of.
9 你要谨慎，不可心里起恶念，说：‘第七年的豁免年快到了’，你便恶眼看你穷乏的弟兄，什么都不给他，以致他因你求告耶和华，罪便归于你了。
Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee.
10 你总要给他，给他的时候心里不可愁烦；因耶和华—你的 神必在你这一切所行的，并你手里所办的事上，赐福与你。
But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy hand.
11 原来那地上的穷人永不断绝；所以我吩咐你说：‘总要向你地上困苦穷乏的弟兄松开手。’”
There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation: therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother, that liveth in the land.
12 “你弟兄中，若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人被卖给你，服事你六年，到第七年就要任他自由出去。
When thy brother a Hebrew man, or Hebrew woman is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free:
13 你任他自由的时候，不可使他空手而去，
And when thou sendest him out free, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
14 要从你羊群、禾场、酒榨之中多多地给他；耶和华—你的 神怎样赐福与你，你也要照样给他。
But shalt give him for his way out of thy flocks, and out of thy barnfloor, and thy winepress, wherewith the Lord thy God shall bless thee.
15 要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆，耶和华—你的 神将你救赎；因此，我今日吩咐你这件事。
Remember that thou also wast a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God made thee free, and therefore I now command thee this.
16 他若对你说：‘我不愿意离开你’，是因他爱你和你的家，且因在你那里很好，
But if he say: I will not depart: because he loveth thee, and thy house, and findeth that he is well with thee:
17 你就要拿锥子将他的耳朵在门上刺透，他便永为你的奴仆了。你待婢女也要这样。
Thou shalt take an awl, and bore through his ear in the door of thy house, and he shall serve thee for ever: thou shalt do in like manner to thy womanservant also.
18 你任他自由的时候，不可以为难事，因他服事你六年，较比雇工的工价多加一倍了。耶和华—你的 神就必在你所做的一切事上赐福与你。”
Turn not away thy eyes from them when thou makest them tree: because he hath served thee six years according to the wages of a hireling: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works that thou dost.
19 “你牛群羊群中头生的，凡是公的，都要分别为圣，归耶和华—你的 神。牛群中头生的，不可用它耕地；羊群中头生的，不可剪毛。
Of the firstlings, that come of thy herds and thy sheep, thou shalt sanctify to the Lord thy God whatsoever is of the male sex. Thou shalt not work with the firstling of a bullock, and thou shalt not shear the firstlings of thy sheep.
20 这头生的，你和你的家属，每年要在耶和华所选择的地方，在耶和华—你 神面前吃。
In the sight of the Lord thy God shalt thou eat them every year, in the place that the Lord shall choose, thou and thy house.
21 这头生的若有什么残疾，就如瘸腿的、瞎眼的，无论有什么恶残疾，都不可献给耶和华—你的 神；
But if it have a blemish, or be lame, or blind, or in any part disfigured or feeble, it shall not be sacrificed to the Lord thy God.
22 可以在你城里吃；洁净人与不洁净人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。
But thou shalt eat it within the gates of thy city: the clean and the unclean shall eat them alike, as the roe and as the hart.
23 只是不可吃它的血；要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。”
Only thou shalt take heed not to eat their blood, but pour it out on the earth as water.
