申命记 15
1 “每逢七年末一年，你要施行豁免。
At the end of seven years, shalt thou make a release.
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。
And, this, shall be the manner of the release, Every creditor who lendeth aught to his neighbour, his hand shall release it, —he shall not exact it of his neighbour or his brother, because there hath been proclaimed a release unto Yahweh.
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 a foreigner, thou mayest exact it, —but, what thou hast with thy brother, thy hand shall release;
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。）
save, when there shall be among you no needy person, —for Yahweh will indeed bless, thee, in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance to possess it:
only if thou do hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —to observe to do—all this commandment which I am commanding thee to-day.
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。
When, Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee, as he spake unto thee, then shalt thou lend unto many nations but thou, shalt not borrow, and, thou shalt rule over many nations but over thee, shall they not rule.
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。
When there cometh to be among you a needy person any one of thy brethren within any one of thy gates, in thy land, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
8 总要向他松开手，照他所缺乏的借给他，补他的不足。
but thou shalt, open, thy hand unto him, —and, lend, him enough to meet the poverty which doth impoverish him.
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。
Take thou heed to thyself lest there be something near thine abandoned heart, saying—Drawing nigh, is the seventh year the year of release, and so thine eye be evil, against thy needy brother, and thou give not unto him, —and he cry out against thee unto Yahweh, and it become in thee a sin!
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。
Thou shalt, give, unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil when thou givest unto him, —for on account of this very thing, will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest and in all whereunto thou puttest 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。’”
For the needy will not cease out of the midst of the land—for this cause, am I commanding thee, saying, Thou shalt open, thy hand unto thy brother to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy 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 a Hebrew woman) selleth himself unto thee, then shall he serve thee six years, —and in the seventh year, shalt thou let him go out free from thee;
13 你任他自由的时候，不可使他空手而去，
and when thou lettest him go out free, from thee, thou shalt not let him go out 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。
thou shalt, richly load, him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat, —of that wherewith Yahweh thy God hath blessed thee, shalt thou give unto him;
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。
and thou shalt remember that a servant, thou wast in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, —for this cause, am I commanding thee this thing, to-day.
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，
And it shall be, if he shall say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, —because he loveth thee, and thy household, because he is well off 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。
then shalt thou take an awl and thrust it through his ear unto the door, so shall he be thy servant all his life. And unto thine handmaid also, shalt thou do thus.
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。”
It shall not be hard in thine eyes when thou lettest him go out free, from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling, hath he served thee six years, —so will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest.
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。
Every firstling that is brought forth in thy herd and in thy flock that is a male, shalt thou hallow unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt not work with a firstling of thine oxen, neither shalt thou shear a firstling of thy flock:
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。
before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, —thou, and thy household.
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, when there is in it any blemish, lameness or blindness, any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh 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。
within thine own gates, mayest thou eat it, —the unclean of you and the clean alike, as the gazelle 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 the blood thereof, shalt thou not eat, —on the earth, shalt thou pour it out like water.
