Ponovljeni zakon 15
1 Na završetku sedme godine opraštaj dugove.
At the end of every seven years you 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.
This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because the LORD's release has been proclaimed.
3 Možeš tražiti od tuđina, ali ono što se tvoga nađe kod tvoga brata treba da otpustiš,
Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of yours is with your brother your 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 you; (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you 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 you diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you 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 the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
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 a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
8 nego mu širom rastvori svoju ruku i spremno mu daj što mu nedostaje.
but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
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.
Be careful lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand"; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.
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.
You must surely give to him, and your heart is not to be grieved when you give to him; because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your 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 you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your 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 your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 Kad ga slobodna od sebe otpustiš, ne šalji ga praznih ruku.
When you let him go free from you, you 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.
you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress, in proportion as the LORD your God has blessed you, you 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.
You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you 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 -
It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you"; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
17 uzmi tada šilo i probuši mu uho na vratima, i neka ti bude robom zauvijek! Tako isto učini i sa svojom sluškinjom.
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 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 you, when you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and the LORD your God will bless you in all that you 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 firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall 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 Blaguj ga ti i tvoj dom svake godine u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, u mjestu što ga odabere Jahve.
You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your 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!
If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 Pojedi ih u svojoj kući. I nečist i čist mogu ih jesti, kao srnu i jelena.
You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.
23 Jedino krvi njihove ne smiješ jesti! Istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
