Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.
हरेक सात वर्षको अन्त्यमा कर्जाहरू रद्द गरिदिनू ।
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.
त्यो काम यसरी गरिने छः हरेक ऋणदाताले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दिएको ऋण रद्द गरिदिने छ । त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकी वा भाइबाट ऋणको माग गर्दैन किनकि परमप्रभुको कर्जामाफीको घोषणा गरिएको छ ।
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;
तिमीहरूले परदेशीबाट चाहिँ यसको माग गर्न सक्छौ, तर तिम्रो भाइको ऋणचाहिँ फुक्का गरिदेओ ।
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;
तथापि, तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही गरिब हुनुहुँदैन (किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा अधिकार गर्न दिनुहुने देशमा तिमीहरूलाई निश्चय नै आशिष् दिनुहुने छ) ।
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.
तर यसको लागि तिमीहरूले आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका यी सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आवाज होसियारीसाथ सुन्नुपर्छ ।
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.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूलाई ऋण दिने छौ, तर तिमीहरूले ऋण लिने छैनौ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छौ, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छैनन् ।
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;
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशको कुनै पनि सहरभित्र तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पनि भाइ गरिब भयो भने तिमीहरूको गरिब भाइप्रति तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हृदय कठोर पार्नुहुँदैन न त मुट्ठी बाँध्नुहुन्छ ।
8 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.
तर तिमीहरूले उसलाई निश्चय नै आफ्नो हात खुला गर्नू, र उसको खाँचोको लागि पर्याप्त मात्रामा ऋण दिनू ।
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.
'सातौँ वर्ष अर्थात् छुटकाराको वर्ष नजिकै छ' भनी आफ्नो मनमा दुष्ट विचार ननिम्त्याउन होसियार होओ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएको गरिब भाइप्रति लोभी नभएर तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिन सक । तिमीहरू लोभी भयौ भने त्यो पाप हुन्छ ।
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.
निश्चय नै तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिनू, र तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिँदा हृदयमा दुःख नमान्नू किनकि यसको साटो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका सबै काम र तिमीहरूले हात हाल्ने सबै थोकमा आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।
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.
किनकि देशमा गरिबहरूको कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुने छैन । त्यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिन्छु, 'तिमीहरूको देशमा खाँचोमा परेको तिमीहरूका भाइ र गरिबको लागि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हात खुला राख्नू ।'
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.
तिमीहरूका हिब्रू भाइ या बहिनी तिमीकहाँ बेचिएको छ र त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गरेको छ भने सातौँ वर्षमा तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिनू ।
13 And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:
तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिँदा त्यसलाई रित्तो हात नपठाओ ।
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.
तिमीहरूका भेडा-बाख्रा, खला र दाखको कोलबाट त्यसलाई प्रशस्त मात्रामा लिएर जान देओ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएमुताबिक त्यसलाई दिनू ।
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.
तिमीहरू मिश्र देशमा कमारा थियौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो भनी तिमीहरूले याद गर्नू । त्यसकारण आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिँदै छु ।
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;
त्यसले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरलाई माया गरेकोले र तिमीहरूसित राम्ररी बसेकोले 'म तपाईंहरूकहाँबाट जान्नँ' भन्यो भने
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.
एउटा सुतारो लिएर त्यसको कानको लोती ढोकामा लगाएर छेड्नू, र त्यो जीवनभरि तिमीहरूको कमारो हुने छ । तिमीहरूका कमारीलाई पनि यसै गर्नू ।
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.
त्यसलाई फुक्का भएर जान दिन अप्ठ्यारो नमान्नू किनकि त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूको सेवा गरेको छ र ज्यालादारी व्यक्तिले गर्ने दोब्बर काम गरेको छ । तिमीहरूले गर्ने सबै काममा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।
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.
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि अलग गर्नू । गाईवस्तुबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई कुनै काम नगराउनू न त भेडा-बाख्राबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूबाट ऊन कत्रनू ।
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.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा वर्षैपिच्छे उहाँको सामु तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरानाले पहिले जन्मेकोलाई खानू ।
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.
त्यो लङ्गडा वा अन्धा वा त्यसमा कुनै किसिमको खोट छ भने तिमीहरूले त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु नचढाउनू ।
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.
त्यसलाई तिमीहरूकै सहरभित्र खानू । हरिण वा मृगको मासु खाएझैँ शुद्ध र अशुद्ध व्यक्तिहरूले समान रूपमा खानू ।
23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
केवल तिमीहरूले यसको रगतचाहिँ नखानू। पानीझैँ गरी यसलाई भुइँमा पोखाइदिनू ।
