Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.
Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let boš naredil odpust.
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.
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 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;
Od tujca lahko to ponovno zahtevaš, toda kar je tvoje, s tvojim bratom, bo tvoja roka odpustila,
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;
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 give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today.
samo če previdno prisluhneš glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da obeležuješ izpolnjevanje vseh teh zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal.
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.
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 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;
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 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.
temveč mu boš na široko odprl svojo roko in zagotovo mu boš posodil dovolj za njegovo potrebo, v tem, kar mu manjka.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:
In ko ga svobodnega pošlješ od sebe, mu ne boš pustil, da gre proč prazen.
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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
To boš leto za letom jedel pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ti in tvoja družina, na kraju, ki ga bo Gospod izbral.
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.
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 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.
Jedel ga boš znotraj svojih velikih vrat. Nečista in čista oseba ga bo jedla enako kakor srnjaka in kakor jelena.
23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
Samo njegove krvi ne boš jedel. Na tla jo boš izlil kakor vodo.
