Rapar Mar Chik 15
1 E giko mar higa mar abiriyo gope duto nyaka we.
“At the end of every seven years, you must (cancel all debts/tell people who owe you money that they do not need to pay it back).
2 Ma e kaka onego time: Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka we gope ma ja-Israel wadgi nigo. Ok onego okaw chudo kuom ja-Israel kata wadgi nikech ndalo mar weyo gowi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye oselandi.
Do it like this: Each of you who has lent money to a fellow Israeli must cancel that debt. You must not insist that he pay it back. You must do that because Yahweh has declared that the debts must be canceled [every seven years].
3 Jopinje mamoko to unyalo nyiso mondo ochulu gope ma gin-go, to gowi moro amora ma ja-Israel wadu nigo to nyaka iwene.
[During that year] you may require foreigners [who live among you] to pay what they owe you, but you must not try to require that any fellow Israeli pay you what he owes you.
4 Kata kamano, ngʼat modhier ok onego bedi e dieru, nikech piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kod jou mondo ukaw kaka girkeni obiro gwedho,
Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that he is giving to you. If you obey Yahweh our God and obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, there will not be any poor people among you.
5 mana ka urito chike duto mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kendo urito buchene duto ma amiyou kawuono.
6 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro gwedhou kaka osewacho, kendo ubiro olo ogendini mangʼeny mwandu to un ok unuol kuomgi. Ubiro bedo gi loch kuom pinje mamoko to un onge manobed kod loch kuomu.
Yahweh our God will bless you like he has promised to do, and you will [be able to] lend money to people of other people-groups, but you will not [need to] borrow from any of them. You will control [the finances of] many people-groups, but they will not control your [finances].
7 Ka nitie jachan e kind owete moa e mier mag piny ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiu, to kik ubed gi chuny mapek kata lep ma wuoyo marach ewi owadu modhierno.
“In the towns that Yahweh our God is giving to you, if there are any Israelis who are poor, do not be selfish [IDM] and refuse [IDM] to help them.
8 To beduru mangʼwon kendo uholgi gimoro amora magidwaro.
Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
9 Kata bedni higa mar abiriyo chiegni chopo to kik ubed gi ich lit mutamru olo owadu man-gi dwaro. Ka mano otimore, to owaduno nyalo mako bura e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi ubed joketho.
Be sure that you do not say to yourself, ‘The year when debts will be canceled is near, [so I do not want to lend anyone any money now, because he will not need to pay it back when that year comes].’ It would be evil to even think that. If you act in an unfriendly way toward a needy fellow Israeli, and give him nothing, he will cry out to Yahweh about you, and [Yahweh will say that] you have sinned [by not helping that person].
10 Chiwreuru gi chuny man thuolo, to ka utimo kamano to Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro gwedho tijeu duto kod gimoro amora ma udwaro timo.
Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
11 Joma ochando nobedie e pinyu ndalo duto. Kuom mano achikou mondo ubed gi chuny ma thuolo kuom oweteu, joma odhier kod joma ochando e pinyu.
If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do. There will always be some poor people in your land, so I command you to give generously to poor [DOU] people.”
12 Ka ja-Hibrania wadu madichwo kata madhako ochiwore mondo ingʼiewe kendo otini kuom higni auchiel, to e higa mar abiriyo nyaka iweye obed thuolo.
“If any of your fellow Israeli men or women sell themselves to one of you [to become your slave], you must free them after they have worked for you for six years. When the seventh year comes, you must free them.
13 Kendo ka iweye mondo odhi ka en thuolo, to kik igole odhi gi lwete nono.
When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
14 Kowe mabup gi chuny ma thuolo kimiye jamni, kar dino cham kod divai. Bedne mangʼwon kendo imiye kaluwore gi kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi osegwedhi.
Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
15 Paruru nine un wasumbini e piny Misri to Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu noresou. Mano emomiyo amiyou chikni kawuono.
Do not forget that your ancestors were once slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God freed them. That is the reason that I am now commanding you to do this.
16 Ka jatichni owacho niya, “Ok adwar weyi,” nikech oheri kod jo-dalani duto kendo owinjo maber ka odak kodu,
“But one of your slaves may say, ‘I do not want to leave you.’ He loves you and your family, because you have treated him well.
17 to kaw riwi kendo ituchgo ite kiteno e dhoot mondo koro obed misumbani nyaka chiengʼ tim kamano bende nyaka ne jatichni madhako.
If he says that, take him to the door of your house and, [while he stands against the doorway], pierce one of his earlobes with (an awl/a sharp pointed tool). That will indicate that he will be your slave for the rest of his life. Do the same thing to any female slave [who does not want to leave you].
18 Kik bedni matek weyo misumbani thuolo nimar higni auchiel mosebedo oromo chudo nyadiriyo maromre kod ngʼatno ma biro tiyoni ndalo. Kitimo kamano to Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi nogwedh gik moko duto mitimo.
“Do not complain when you are required to free your slaves. [Keep in mind that] they served you for six years, and you paid them only half as much as you pay the servants that you hire. [If you free them, ] Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
19 Keturu tenge ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu jamni duto machwo mokwong nywolo e kweth jambu. Kik uket rwedhi ma dhou okwongo nywolo e jok bende kik ungʼad yie rombu mokwong nywolo.
“(Set aside for/Dedicate to) Yahweh our God the firstborn male animals from your cattle and sheep. Do not force them to do any work for you, and do not (shear/cut off) the wool [of the firstborn animals to sell the wool].
20 E higa ka higa in kod joodi onego uchamgi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kama en owuon noyier.
You and your family may [kill them and] eat their meat in the presence of Yahweh at the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him].
21 Ka chiayo moro nigi songa, ongʼol kata en muofu kata ka en gi mbala moro amora to ok onego utim kode misango ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
But if the animals have any defects, if they are lame or blind, or if they have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
22 Onego uchame e miechu uwuon. Joma ok ler gi jomaler nyalo chame mana kaka gichamo mwanda kata nyakech.
You may [kill and] eat [the meat of those animals] at your homes. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done such things are permitted to eat that meat, just like anyone is permitted to eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
23 Kik ucham remo, to pukgiuru piny mana ka pi.
But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
