Ponovljeni zakon 15
1 Na završetku sedme godine opraštaj dugove.
At the end of every seven years thou shall make a release.
2 Ovako neka bude opraštanje: neka svatko oprosti dužniku svoje potraživanje; neka ne utjeruje duga od svoga bližnjega ni od svoga brata kad se jednom proglasi Jahvino otpuštanje dugova.
And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it from his neighbor and his brother, because Jehovah's release has been proclaimed.
3 Možeš tražiti od tuđina, ali ono što se tvoga nađe kod tvoga brata treba da otpustiš,
From a foreigner thou may exact it, but whatever of thine is with thy brother, thy hand shall release.
4 da ne bude siromaha kod tebe. TÓa Jahve će te obilno blagoslivljati u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu da je zaposjedneš,
However there shall be no poor with thee (for Jehovah will surely bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance to possess it),
5 samo ako budeš dobro slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeći i vršeći sve ove zapovijedi što ti ih danas naređujem.
if only thou diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
6 Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslivljat će te kako ti je obećao te ćeš moći zajmove davati mnogim narodima, a sam ih nećeš morati uzimati; i nad mnogim ćeš narodima vladati, dok oni nad tobom neće gospodariti.
For Jehovah thy God will bless thee as he promised thee, and thou shall lend to many nations, but thou shall not borrow, and thou shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
7 Nađe li se kod tebe kakav siromah, netko od tvoje braće u kojem god gradu u zemlji što ti je Jahve, Bog tvoj, dadne, ne budi tvrda srca niti zatvaraj svoje ruke prema svome siromašnome bratu,
If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brothers, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God gives thee, thou shall not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother,
8 nego mu širom rastvori svoju ruku i spremno mu daj što mu nedostaje.
but thou shall surely open thy hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need which he wants.
9 Čuvaj se da ti se u srcu ne porodi opaka misao te rekneš: 'Sedma se godina, godina otpuštanja dugova, već približuje' - i da prijekim okom pogledaš svoga siromašnog brata i ništa mu ne dadneš. On bi zazvao Jahvu protiv tebe i grijeh bi bio na tebi.
Beware that there not be a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nothing, and he cry to Jehovah against thee, and it be sin to thee.
10 Daj mu rado, a ne da ti srce bude zlovoljno kad mu daješ, jer će te zbog toga blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svakom poslu tvome i u svakom pothvatu ruku tvojih.
Thou shall surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou give to him, because for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou put thy hand to.
11 Kako siromaha nikad neće nestati iz zemlje, zapovijedam ti: širom otvaraj svoju ruku svome bratu, svome siromahu i potrebitu u zemlji svojoj.
For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shall surely open thy hand to thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.
12 Ako se tebi proda brat tvoj - Hebrejac ili Hebrejka - neka ti služi šest godina, a sedme ga godine otpusti od sebe slobodna.
If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to thee, and serves thee six years, then in the seventh year thou shall let him go free from thee.
13 Kad ga slobodna od sebe otpustiš, ne šalji ga praznih ruku.
And when thou let him go free from thee, thou shall not let him go empty.
14 Daruj ga čime između stoke svoje, s gumna svoga i iz badnja svoga; čime te već Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio, od toga i njemu daj.
Thou shall furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress. As Jehovah thy God has blessed thee thou shall give to him.
15 Sjećaj se kako si bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj i kako te Jahve, Bog tvoj, otkupio. Zato ti ovo zapovijedam danas.
And thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee. Therefore I command thee this thing today.
16 Ali ako ti on kaže: 'Neću da odlazim od tebe', jer voli tebe i dom tvoj i jer mu je kod tebe bilo dobro -
And it shall be, if he says to thee, I will not go out from thee, because he loves thee and thy house, because he is well with thee,
17 uzmi tada šilo i probuši mu uho na vratima, i neka ti bude robom zauvijek! Tako isto učini i sa svojom sluškinjom.
then thou shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be thy servant forever. And also to thy maid-servant thou shall do likewise.
18 Kad ga budeš otpuštao od sebe slobodna, neka ti ne bude teško, jer je zavrijedio dvostruku najamničku plaću za šest godina što ti je služio. Zato će te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagosloviti u svemu što budeš radio.
It shall not seem hard to thee when thou let him go free from thee, for he has been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years. And Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou do.
19 Sve muške prvine što ih omladi tvoja krupna i sitna stoka posveti Jahvi, Bogu svome! Stoga vola prvenca nemoj uprezati niti strići prvenca od svoje sitne stoke.
All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shall sanctify to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.
20 Blaguj ga ti i tvoj dom svake godine u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, u mjestu što ga odabere Jahve.
Thou shall eat it before Jehovah thy God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, thou and thy household.
21 Ali ako bi imali kakvu manu, ako bi bili hromi ili slijepi ili imali kakvu god ružnu manu, nemoj ih žrtvovati Jahvi, Bogu svomu!
And if it has any blemish, as lame or blind, any ill blemish whatever, thou shall not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God.
22 Pojedi ih u svojoj kući. I nečist i čist mogu ih jesti, kao srnu i jelena.
Thou shall eat it within thy gates. The unclean man and the clean man alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
23 Jedino krvi njihove ne smiješ jesti! Istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
Only thou shall not eat the blood of it. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.
