Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
Ní òpin ọdún méje méje, ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ máa yọ̀ǹda àwọn gbèsè.
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.
Báyìí ni kí ẹ máa ṣe é. Gbogbo ẹni tí wọ́n jẹ ní gbèsè gbọdọ̀ fojú fo gbèsè tí ó ti yá ará Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ béèrè ohun náà, lọ́dọ̀ ará Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀ tàbí lọ́dọ̀ arákùnrin rẹ̀: nítorí pé a ti kéde àkókò Olúwa láti fojú fo gbèsè.
3 You may collect something from a foreigner, but you must forgive whatever your brother owes you.
Ẹ lè béèrè ìsanpadà lọ́dọ̀ àjèjì. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ fa igi lé gbèsè yówù kó jẹ́ tí arákùnrin yín jẹ yín.
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,
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹni tí yóò tọ́ sí nínú yín, nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò bùkún un yín lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ nínú ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ń mú un yín lọ láti gbà bí ìní yín.
5 if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.
Kìkì bí ẹ bá gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ẹ sì kíyèsára láti máa rìn nínú gbogbo àṣẹ wọ̀nyí, tí èmi ń pa fún un yín lónìí.
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.
Nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò bùkún un yín bí ó ti ṣèlérí, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa yá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ẹ kì yóò sì tọrọ. Ẹ ó ṣàkóso ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tí yóò lè jẹ ọba lé e yín lórí.
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.
Bí tálákà kan bá wà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin yín ní èyíkéyìí àwọn ìlú, ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa yín yóò fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe ṣe àìláàánú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe háwọ́ sí arákùnrin yín tí ó jẹ́ tálákà.
8 Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lawọ́ kí ẹ sì fi tọkàntọkàn yá wọn ní ohun tí wọ́n nílò.
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.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí èrò búburú kan má ṣe sí nínú àyà rẹ wí pé, “Ọdún keje tí í ṣe ọdún ìyọ̀ǹda gbèsè ti súnmọ́,” nípa bẹ́ẹ̀, ojú rẹ a sì burú sí arákùnrin rẹ tálákà, tí ìwọ kò sì fun ní nǹkan, o kò sì fun ní nǹkan kan. Òun a si kígbe pe Olúwa nítorí rẹ, a si di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ọ.
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.
Fún un tọkàntọkàn, láìsí ìkùnsínú, nítorí èyí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò bùkún fún ọ nínú iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ, àti gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé rẹ.
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.
A kò lè fẹ́ tálákà kù ní ilẹ̀ náà ní ìgbà gbogbo, mo pàṣẹ fún un yín láti lawọ́ sí àwọn arákùnrin yín, sí àwọn tálákà àti sí àwọn aláìní, ní ilẹ̀ ẹ yín.
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.
Bí Heberu ara yín kan, yálà ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin bá ta ara rẹ̀ fún ọ, tí ó sì sìn ọ́ fún ọdún mẹ́fà. Ní ọdún keje, jẹ́ kí ó di òmìnira.
13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
Nígbà tí ó bá dá a sílẹ̀ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó lọ lọ́wọ́ òfo.
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.
Fi tọkàntọkàn fún un láti inú agbo ewúrẹ́ rẹ, ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ, àti ibi ìfúntí rẹ. Fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti bùkún fún ọ tó.
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.
Ẹ rántí pé ẹ ti fi ìgbà kan jẹ́ ẹrú ní Ejibiti, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín sì rà yín padà, ìdí nìyí tí mo fi pa àṣẹ yìí fún un yín lónìí.
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,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bá sọ fún ọ pé, “Èmi kò fẹ́ fi ọ́ sílẹ̀,” nítorí pé ó fẹ́ràn ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ, tí ó sì tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn,
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.
kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìlu kan lu etí rẹ̀ mọ́ ara ìlẹ̀kùn, yóò sì di ẹrú rẹ láéláé. Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni kí o ṣe sí ìránṣẹ́ ẹrúbìnrin rẹ.
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.
Má ṣe kà á sí ohun ìnira láti dá ẹrú rẹ sílẹ̀, nítorí ìsìnrú rẹ̀ fún ọ, ní ọdún mẹ́fà náà tó ìlọ́po méjì iṣẹ́ alágbàṣe, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò bùkún fún ọ nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé rẹ.
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.
Gbogbo àkọ́bí tí o jẹ́ akọ nínú agbo màlúù rẹ ni kí o yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa, àti nínú agbo ewúrẹ́ bákan náà. Ẹ má ṣe fi àkọ́bí màlúù yín ṣiṣẹ́ rárá. Má ṣe rẹ́ irun àkọ́bí àgùntàn rẹ pẹ̀lú.
20 Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.
Ní ọdọọdún ni kí ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ máa jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbi tí Òun yóò yàn.
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.
Bí ẹran ọ̀sìn kan bá ní àbùkù: bóyá ó yarọ, tàbí fọ́jú, tàbí tí ó ní èyíkéyìí àbùkù tó burú. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
22 Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.
Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ìlú u yín. Àti ẹni tí a kà sí mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ ẹ́ bí ìgbà tí a ń jẹ èsúró tàbí àgbọ̀nrín.
23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á síta bí omi.
