Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let boš naredil odpust.
2 This is the manner of remission: Every creditor shall cancel what he has loaned to his neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.
To je način odpusta. Vsak upnik, ki posoja, mora svojemu bližnjemu to odpustiti. Tega ne bo terjal od svojega bližnjega ali od svojega brata, ker je to imenovano Gospodov odpust.
3 You may collect something from a foreigner, but you must forgive whatever your brother owes you.
Od tujca lahko to ponovno zahtevaš, toda kar je tvoje, s tvojim bratom, bo tvoja roka odpustila,
4 There will be no poor among you, however, because the LORD will surely bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance,
razen ko med vami ne bo nobenega revnega, kajti Gospod te bo silno blagoslovil v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, za dediščino, da jo vzameš v last,
5 if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.
samo če previdno prisluhneš glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da obeležuješ izpolnjevanje vseh teh zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal.
6 When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will lend to many nations but borrow from none; you will rule over many nations but be ruled by none.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te blagoslavlja, kakor ti je obljubil in posojal boš mnogim narodom, toda ti si ne boš izposojal in kraljeval boš nad mnogimi narodi, toda oni ne bodo kraljevali nad teboj.
7 If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
Če je med vami revež enega izmed tvojih bratov znotraj katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, v tvoji deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, ne boš zakrknil svojega srca niti svoje roke zaprl pred svojim revnim bratom,
8 Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.
temveč mu boš na široko odprl svojo roko in zagotovo mu boš posodil dovolj za njegovo potrebo, v tem, kar mu manjka.
9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
Pazi se, da ne bi bilo misli v tvojem zlobnem srcu, rekoč: ›Sedmo leto, leto odpusta, se približuje‹ in je tvoje oko zlobno zoper tvojega revnega brata in mu ničesar ne daš in on zoper tebe kliče h Gospodu in to ti bo greh.
10 Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.
Zagotovo mu boš dal in tvoje srce ne bo užaloščeno, ko mu daješ, zato ker te bo za to stvar Gospod, tvoj Bog, blagoslovil v vseh tvojih delih in v vsem, k čemur boš položil svojo roko.
11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land.
Kajti revni ne bo nikoli izginil iz dežele. Zatorej ti zapovedujem, rekoč: ›Svojo roko boš na široko odprl svojem bratu, svojemu revnemu in svojemu pomoči potrebnemu v svoji deželi.‹
12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.
In če ti bo prodan tvoj brat, Hebrejec ali Hebrejka in ti služi šest let, ga boš potem v sedmem letu od sebe pustil svobodnega.
13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
In ko ga svobodnega pošlješ od sebe, mu ne boš pustil, da gre proč prazen.
14 You are to furnish him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress. You shall give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.
Velikodušno ga boš opremil iz svojega tropa in iz svojega mlatišča in iz svoje vinske stiskalnice. Dal mu boš od tega, s čimer te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, blagoslovil.
15 Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving you this command today.
Spomnil se boš, da si bil suženj v egiptovski deželi in Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je odkupil, zato ti danes zapovedujem to stvar.
16 But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,
Zgodilo se bo, če ti reče: ›Ne bom šel proč od tebe, ‹ ker ljubi tebe in tvojo hišo, ker mu je dobro s teboj,
17 then take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your servant for life. And treat your maidservant the same way.
potem boš vzel šilo in ga na vratih prebodel skozi njegovo uho in on bo tvoj služabnik na veke. In prav tako boš podobno storil svoji dekli.
18 Do not regard it as a hardship to set your servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in all you do.
Ne bo se ti zdelo težko, ko ga svobodnega pošlješ proč od sebe, kajti vreden ti je bil dvojnega najetega služabnika, v tem, ko ti je služil šest let in Gospod, tvoj Bog, te bo blagoslovil v vsem, kar delaš.
19 You must set apart to the LORD your God every firstborn male produced by your herds and flocks. You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work, nor are you to shear the firstborn of your flock.
Vse prvence, ki pridejo iz tvoje črede in iz tvojega tropa, boš posvetil Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Nobenega dela ne boš opravljal s prvencem svojega bikca niti strigel prvenca svoje ovce.
20 Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.
To boš leto za letom jedel pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ti in tvoja družina, na kraju, ki ga bo Gospod izbral.
21 But if an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
In če je na njem kakršnakoli pomanjkljivost kakor, če je hrom ali slep ali ima kakršnokoli bolezensko pomanjkljivost, ga ne boš žrtvoval Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
22 Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.
Jedel ga boš znotraj svojih velikih vrat. Nečista in čista oseba ga bo jedla enako kakor srnjaka in kakor jelena.
23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Samo njegove krvi ne boš jedel. Na tla jo boš izlil kakor vodo.
