Deuteronomy 15
1 You are to cancel debts the end of every seven years.
Ní òpin ọdún méje méje, ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ máa yọ̀ǹda àwọn gbèsè.
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.
Báyìí ni kí ẹ máa ṣe é. Gbogbo ẹni tí wọ́n jẹ ní gbèsè gbọdọ̀ fojú fo gbèsè tí ó ti yá ará Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀. Kò gbọdọ̀ béèrè ohun náà, lọ́dọ̀ ará Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀ tàbí lọ́dọ̀ arákùnrin rẹ̀: nítorí pé a ti kéde àkókò Olúwa láti fojú fo gbèsè.
3 You are allowed to collect payments from a foreigner, but you must cancel whatever your fellow Israelite owes you.
Ẹ lè béèrè ìsanpadà lọ́dọ̀ àjèjì. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ fa igi lé gbèsè yówù kó jẹ́ tí arákùnrin yín jẹ yín.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹni tí yóò tọ́ sí nínú yín, nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò bùkún un yín lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ nínú ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ń mú un yín lọ láti gbà bí ìní yín.
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.
Kìkì bí ẹ bá gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ẹ sì kíyèsára láti máa rìn nínú gbogbo àṣẹ wọ̀nyí, tí èmi ń pa fún un yín lónìí.
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.
Nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò bùkún un yín bí ó ti ṣèlérí, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa yá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ẹ kì yóò sì tọrọ. Ẹ ó ṣàkóso ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tí yóò lè jẹ ọba lé e yín lórí.
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.
Bí tálákà kan bá wà láàrín àwọn arákùnrin yín ní èyíkéyìí àwọn ìlú, ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa yín yóò fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe ṣe àìláàánú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe háwọ́ sí arákùnrin yín tí ó jẹ́ tálákà.
8 On the contrary. You should be generous to them, and lend them whatever they need.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lawọ́ kí ẹ sì fi tọkàntọkàn yá wọn ní ohun tí wọ́n nílò.
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.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí èrò búburú kan má ṣe sí nínú àyà rẹ wí pé, “Ọdún keje tí í ṣe ọdún ìyọ̀ǹda gbèsè ti súnmọ́,” nípa bẹ́ẹ̀, ojú rẹ a sì burú sí arákùnrin rẹ tálákà, tí ìwọ kò sì fun ní nǹkan, o kò sì fun ní nǹkan kan. Òun a si kígbe pe Olúwa nítorí rẹ, a si di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ọ.
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.
Fún un tọkàntọkàn, láìsí ìkùnsínú, nítorí èyí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò bùkún fún ọ nínú iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ, àti gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé rẹ.
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.
A kò lè fẹ́ tálákà kù ní ilẹ̀ náà ní ìgbà gbogbo, mo pàṣẹ fún un yín láti lawọ́ sí àwọn arákùnrin yín, sí àwọn tálákà àti sí àwọn aláìní, ní ilẹ̀ ẹ yín.
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.
Bí Heberu ara yín kan, yálà ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin bá ta ara rẹ̀ fún ọ, tí ó sì sìn ọ́ fún ọdún mẹ́fà. Ní ọdún keje, jẹ́ kí ó di òmìnira.
13 And when you free them, don't send them away with nothing.
Nígbà tí ó bá dá a sílẹ̀ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó lọ lọ́wọ́ òfo.
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.
Fi tọkàntọkàn fún un láti inú agbo ewúrẹ́ rẹ, ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ, àti ibi ìfúntí rẹ. Fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti bùkún fún ọ tó.
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.
Ẹ rántí pé ẹ ti fi ìgbà kan jẹ́ ẹrú ní Ejibiti, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín sì rà yín padà, ìdí nìyí tí mo fi pa àṣẹ yìí fún un yín lónìí.
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,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bá sọ fún ọ pé, “Èmi kò fẹ́ fi ọ́ sílẹ̀,” nítorí pé ó fẹ́ràn ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ, tí ó sì tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn,
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.
kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìlu kan lu etí rẹ̀ mọ́ ara ìlẹ̀kùn, yóò sì di ẹrú rẹ láéláé. Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni kí o ṣe sí ìránṣẹ́ ẹrúbìnrin rẹ.
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.
Má ṣe kà á sí ohun ìnira láti dá ẹrú rẹ sílẹ̀, nítorí ìsìnrú rẹ̀ fún ọ, ní ọdún mẹ́fà náà tó ìlọ́po méjì iṣẹ́ alágbàṣe, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò bùkún fún ọ nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé rẹ.
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.
Gbogbo àkọ́bí tí o jẹ́ akọ nínú agbo màlúù rẹ ni kí o yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa, àti nínú agbo ewúrẹ́ bákan náà. Ẹ má ṣe fi àkọ́bí màlúù yín ṣiṣẹ́ rárá. Má ṣe rẹ́ irun àkọ́bí àgùntàn rẹ pẹ̀lú.
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.
Ní ọdọọdún ni kí ìwọ àti ìdílé rẹ máa jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbi tí Òun yóò yàn.
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.
Bí ẹran ọ̀sìn kan bá ní àbùkù: bóyá ó yarọ, tàbí fọ́jú, tàbí tí ó ní èyíkéyìí àbùkù tó burú. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
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,
Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ìlú u yín. Àti ẹni tí a kà sí mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ ẹ́ bí ìgbà tí a ń jẹ èsúró tàbí àgbọ̀nrín.
23 but you are not to eat the blood—pour that out on the ground.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á síta bí omi.
