Deuteronomy 15
1 You are to cancel debts the end of every seven years.
七年の終に至るごとに汝放釋を行ふべし
2 This is the way the it will work: If you provided a loan to someone you must cancel it. You are not allowed to collect anything from another Israelite, because the Lord's time of debt cancelation has been announced.
その放釋の例は是のごとし凡てその鄰に貸ことを爲しその債主は之を放釋べしその鄰またはその兄弟にこれを督促べからず是はヱホバの放釋と稱へらるればなり
3 You are allowed to collect payments from a foreigner, but you must cancel whatever your fellow Israelite owes you.
異國の人には汝これを督促ことを得されど汝の兄弟に貸たる物は汝の手よりこれを放釋べし
4 However, you shouldn't have poor people among you, for the Lord will really bless you in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
斯せば汝らの中間に貧者なからん其は汝の神ヱホバその汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地において大に汝を祝福たまふべければなり
5 You just need to make sure you obey the Lord your God, and that you're careful to follow all these commandments I'm giving you today.
只汝もし謹みて汝の神ヱホバの言に聽したがひ我が今日なんぢに命ずるこの誡命を盡く守り行ふに於ては是のごとくなるべし
6 The Lord your God is going to bless you as he promised. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them; you will rule over many nations but you won't be ruled by them.
汝の神ヱホバ汝に言しごとく汝を祝福たまふべければ汝は衆多の國人に貸ことを得べし然ど借こと有じまた汝は衆多の國人を治めん然ど彼らは汝を治むることあらじ
7 If there are Israelites who are poor in any of your towns in the country the Lord your God is giving you, then you must not be unfeeling or miserly towards them.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地において若汝の兄弟の貧き人汝の門の中にをらばその貧しき兄弟にむかひて汝の心を剛愎にする勿れまた汝の手を閉る勿れ
8 On the contrary. You should be generous to them, and lend them whatever they need.
かならず汝の手をこれに開き必ずその要むる物をこれに貸あたへてこれが乏しきを補ふべし
9 Make sure you don't think evil thoughts like, “The seventh year is coming up when debts will be canceled,” so that you look down on the poor with a sneer and refuse to give them anything. They will complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
汝愼め心に惡き念を起し第七年放釋の年近づけりと言て汝の貧き兄弟に目をかけざる勿れ汝もし斯之に何をも與へずしてその人これがために汝をヱホバに訴へなば汝罪を獲ん
10 Give and give again to them, and don't feel irritated when you give. When you give generously the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you decide to do.
汝かならず之に與ふることを爲べしまた之に與ふる時は心に惜むこと勿れ其は此事のために汝の神ヱホバ汝の諸の事業と汝の手の諸の働作とに於て汝を祝福たまふべければなり
11 You will always have those who are poor and in need among you, so that's why I'm telling you to give generously to them.
貧き者は何時までも國にたゆること無るべければ我汝に命じて言ふ汝かならず汝の國の中なる汝の兄弟の困難者と貧乏者とに汝の手を開くべし
12 If a Hebrew, one of your own people, whether man or woman, sells themselves to you as a slave and works for you for six years, you have to free them in the seventh year.
汝の兄弟たるヘブルの男またはヘブルの女汝の許に賣れたらんに若六年なんぢに事へたらば第七年に汝これを放ちて去しむべし
13 And when you free them, don't send them away with nothing.
汝これを放ちて去しむる時は空手にて去しむべからず
14 Give them plenty of gifts: animals from your flocks, grain from your threshing floor, and wine from your winepress. Give to them as generously as the Lord your God has blessed you.
汝の群と禾場と搾場の中より贈物を取て之が肩に負すべし即ち汝の神ヱホバの汝を祝福て賜ふところの物をこれに與ふべし
15 Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. That's why I'm giving you this command today.
汝記憶べし汝はエジプトの國に奴隸たりしが汝の神ヱホバ汝を贖ひ出したまへり是故に我今日この事を汝に命ず
16 However, if your male slave tells you, “I don't want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is better off staying with you,
その人もし汝と汝の家を愛し汝と偕にをるを善として汝にむかひ我汝を離れて去を好まずと言ば
17 then use a metal tool to pierce his ear against the door, and he will be your slave for life. Do the same for your female slave.
汝錐を取て彼の耳を戸に刺とほすべし然せば彼は永く汝の僕たるべし汝の婢にもまた是のごとくすべし
18 Don't see it as a problem to free your slave, because your slave's six years of service to you was worth twice what you would have paid to hire someone. The Lord your God will bless you in everything you do for acting in this way.
汝これを放ちて去しむるを難き事と見るべからず其は彼が六年汝に事へて働きしは工價を取る傭人の二倍に當ればなり汝斯なさば汝の神ヱホバ汝が凡て爲ところの事に於て汝をめぐみたまふべし
19 You are to separate out to give the Lord your God all the firstborn males of your herds and flocks. You must not have the firstborn of your cattle work, and don't shear the firstborn of your sheep.
汝の牛羊の產る初子は皆これを聖別て汝の神ヱホバに歸せしむべし汝の牛の初子をもちゐて何の工作をも爲べからず又汝の羊の初子の毛を剪べからず
20 Every year you and your family are to eat these animals that have been sacrificed in the presence of the Lord your God in the place that the Lord will choose.
汝の神ヱホバの選びたまへる處にてヱホバの前に汝と汝の家族年々にこれを食ふべし
21 However, if an animal has some defect or is lame or blind, in fact if it has any serious defect at all, you are not to sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
然どその畜もし疵ある者すなはち跛足盲目なるなど凡て惡き疵ある者なる時は汝の神ヱホバにこれを宰りて献ぐべからず
22 Eat it at home. All of you, whether you're ceremonially clean or not, can it eat it just like you would eat a gazelle or a deer,
汝の門の内にこれを食ふべし汚れたる者も潔き者も均くこれを食ふを得ること牡鹿と羚羊のごとし
23 but you are not to eat the blood—pour that out on the ground.
但しその血はこれを食ふべからず水のごとくにこれを地に灌ぐべし
