Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.
“Ke yac akitkosr nukewa, kowos fah sisla soemoul lalos nukewa su soemoul nu suwos ke mani.
2 This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.
Kowos ac oru ouinge: Kutena mwet su sang mani nu sin sie mwet Israel wial, elan sisla soemoul sac; el fah tia srike in eisla sel, mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk tari in sisila soemoul uh.
3 A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;
Kowos ku in sap mwetsac nukewa in folokonot soemoul lalos nu suwos, tusruktu kowos tia enenu in eis soemoul lun mwet Israel wiowos.
4 But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage;
“LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah akinsewowoye kowos in facl se su El sot nu suwos. Wangin sie suwos ac fah sukasrup,
5 If only you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today.
kowos fin aksol ac arulana karinganang in oru ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos misenge.
6 For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers.
LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos, oana ke El wulela. Kowos fah sang mani nu sin mutunfacl puspis su elos ac fah enenu in folokonot, tusruktu kowos fah tia enenu in ngusr mani selos. Kowos fah leumi mutunfacl puspis, tusruktu wangin mutunfacl ac fah leum fowos.
7 If in any of your towns in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, there is a poor man, one of your countrymen, do not let your heart be hard or your hand shut to him;
“Fin oasr sie mwet Israel muta in enenu in kutena siti ke facl se ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, kowos in tia nunku keiwos sifacna, a kowos in kasrel.
8 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.
Kowos in kulang ac engan in sang kutena enenu lal, na el ac fah folokonot tok.
9 And see that there is no evil thought in your heart, moving you to say to yourself, The seventh year, the year of forgiveness is near; and so looking coldly on your poor countryman you give him nothing; and he will make an outcry to the Lord against you, and it will be judged as sin in you.
Kowos in tia srangesr sang mwe enenu lal an mweyen yac se akitkosr — yac in sisila soemoul uh — apkuranme. Nimet lela nunak koluk ouinge in oan in kowos. Kowos fin srunga sang enenu lun sie mwet Israel wiowos, el ac pang nu sin LEUM GOD lain kowos, ac kowos ac eis mwata.
10 But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.
Sang enenu lal an ke inse engan, tia ke inse toasr, na LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos ke ma nukewa kowos oru.
11 For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land.
Pacl nukewa ac oasr kutu mwet Israel su sukasrup ac muta in enenu, pa sis nga sapkin kowos in kulang nu selos ac kasrelos.
12 If one of your countrymen, a Hebrew man or woman, becomes your servant for a price and does work for you six years, in the seventh year let him go free.
“Sie mwet Israel wiom, mukul ku mutan, fin sifacna kukakunul nu sum tuh elan mwet kohs lom, kom tufah fuhlella tukun el kulansupwekom ke yac onkosr. Ke sun yac se akitkosr, kom enenu in aksukosokyalla.
13 And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:
Na ke kom fuhlella elan sukosokla, nimet supwalla pisinpo.
14 But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.
Sang nu sel sheep ac nani, wheat ac wain, fal nu ke lupan ma LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom kac.
15 And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today.
Esam lah kowos tuh mwet kohs in Egypt, ac LEUM GOD lowos El molikowosla, pa oru nga sot ma sap se inge nu suwos.
16 But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;
“Tusruktu mwet kohs lom an fin lungse kom ac sou lom, sahp el ac tia lungse som liki kom, a el ac kena mutana yurum.
17 Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl.
Fin ouinge, usalla nu ke srungul in lohm sum, ac putala sie pat ah ke sracl, na el ac fah mwet kohs lom ke lusenna moul lal. Oru oapana nu sin mutan kohs lom.
18 Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.
Nik kom inse toasr ke kom aksukosokyela sie mwet kohs lom, mweyen ke yac onkosr el tuh orekma nu sum ke tafunna molin sie mwet kulansap. Oru ouinge, na LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kom in ma nukewa kom oru.
19 All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut.
“Srela nu sin LEUM GOD lowos wounse mukul ke cow ac sheep nutuwos. Nimet sang cow inge in orekma, ac nimet kal unen sheep inge.
20 But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.
Ke kais sie yac, kowos ac sou lowos in kang ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD ke acn sefanna ma El sulela kowos in alu nu sel we.
21 But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God.
Tusruktu kosro inge fin ul, ku kun, ku oasr kutena ma koluk yohk ke manolos, kowos fah tia kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lowos.
22 It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe.
Kowos ku in kang kosro ouinge in lohm suwos. Finne mwet ma aknasnasyeyukla ku tia, kowos nukewa ku in kang, oana ke kowos kang deer ku antelope.
23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
Tusruktu nimet kang srah kac — kowos in okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
