Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.
Ati yeroo hunda dhuma waggaa torbaffaatti gatii namaaf dhiisuu qabda.
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.
Kunis akkanatti taʼa: namni liqii kennu hundii liqii ollaa isaa nama Israaʼeliif liqeesse dhiisuufii qaba. Sababii yeroon Waaqayyoo kan itti gatiin namaaf dhiifamu labsameef inni ollaa isaa yookaan obboleessa isaa Israaʼelicha irraa waan isaaf liqeesse hin gaafatin.
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;
Ati waan alagaaf liqeessite gaafachuu ni dandeessa; garuu waan obboleessi kee sirraa liqeeffate dhiisuufii qabda.
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;
Taʼus waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya akka ati dhaaltuuf siif kennu irratti akka malee si eebbisuuf hiyyeessi gidduu keetti hin argamu;
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.
kunis yoo ati guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamtee fi yoo ati ajajawwan ani harʼa siif kennu kanneen hunda eegde qofa taʼa.
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.
Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma si abdachiisetti si eebbisuuf ati saboota baayʼeedhaaf liqeessita malee tokko irraa iyyuu hin liqeeffattu. Ati saboota baayʼee bulchita malee isaan si hin bulchan.
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;
Magaalaawwan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessatti yoo obboloota kee gidduu hiyyeessi jiraate obboleessa kee sana irratti garaan kee hin jabaatin yookaan isa gargaaruu irraa harka kee hin deebifatin.
8 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.
Qooda kanaa harka kee isaaf diriirsiitii waan isa gaʼu liqeessiif.
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.
Akka yaadni hamaan, “Waggaan torbaffaan, waggaan itti gatiin namaaf dhiifamu sun dhiʼaateera” jedhu si keessatti kuufamee ati akkasiin obboleessa kee rakkataa ija hamaadhaan ilaaltee gargaaruu hin dhiifne of eeggadhu. Inni Waaqayyotti ol iyyata; kunis cubbuu sitti taʼa.
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.
Ati arjummaadhaan isaaf kenni; yommuu kennituufis garaan kee hin gaabbin; sababii kanaaf Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hojii kee hundaa fi waan harki kee qabate hundaan si eebbisa.
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.
Yoom iyyuu taanaan hiyyeeyyiin lafa irra ni jiraatu. Kanaafuu ani akka ati harka kee obboloota keetiif, hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota biyya keetiitiif diriirfattu sin ajaja.
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.
Yoo namni gosa Ibrootaa, dhiirri yookaan dubartiin sitti gurguramtee waggaa jaʼa siif hojjette, waggaa torbafaatti bilisa baasii gad dhiisi.
13 And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:
Yommuu gad dhiiftuttis harka duwwaa hin geggeessin.
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.
Bushaayee kee keessaa, oobdii fi iddoo cuunfaa wayinii keetii irraa arjummaadhaan kenniif. Akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si eebbisetti isaaf kenni.
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.
Akka atis biyya Gibxitti garba turtee fi akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si fure yaadadhu. Wanni ani harʼa ajaja kana siif kennuufis kanuma.
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;
Garuu yoo garbichi kee sun sababii siʼii fi maatii kee jaallatuuf si wajjin jiraachuun itti tolee, “Ani si dhiisee hin deemu” siin jedhe,
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.
mutaa fuudhii balbala irratti gurra isaa uri; innis bara baraan garbicha kee taʼa. Garbittii kees akkasuma godhi.
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.
Garbicha kee bilisoomsuun waan ulfaataa sitti hin fakkaatin; tajaajilli isaa kan waggaa jaʼaa sun gatii nama qaxaramee hojjetu tokkootti harka lama tureetii. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee waan ati hojjetu hundaan si eebbisa.
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.
Loonii fi bushaayee kee keessaa korma hangafa hunda Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif addaan baasi; qotiyyoo kee keessaa hangafaan hin hojjetin; hangafa hoolaa keetii irraa rifeensa hin murin.
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.
Waggaa waggaadhaan atii fi maatiin kee iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatutti fuula isaa duratti isaan nyaattu.
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.
Yoo horiin sun hirʼina qabaate jechuunis yoo inni naafa yookaan jaamaa yookaan mudaa hamaa kam iyyuu qabaate, ati horii sana aarsaa gootee Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif hin dhiʼeessin.
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.
Ati magaalaa kee keessatti nyaadhu. Akkuma waan horiin sun kuruphee yookaan gadamsa taʼeetti namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu hin taʼinii fi kan qulqulluu taʼe nyaachuu dandaʼa.
23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
Ati garuu dhiiga sana hin nyaatin; akkuma bishaaniitti lafatti dhangalaasi.
