Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of [every] seven years shalt thou make a release.
七年の終に至るごとに汝放釋を行ふべし
2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release the loan which he hath lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because the release year in honor of the Lord hath been proclaimed.
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 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [payment]; but that which is thine with thy brother shall thy hand release.
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 Although indeed there should be no needy man among thee; for the Lord will greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
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 Yet only if thou wilt carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
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 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he hath spoken unto thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but over thee shall they not rule.
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 be among thee a needy man, any one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother.
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 But thou shalt open wide thy hand unto him, and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, which his want requireth.
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 Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye be thus evil against thy needy brother, so that thou wouldst give him nought; and if he cry concerning thee unto the Lord, it will be sin in thee:
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 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; for because of this thing the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all the acquisition of thy hand.
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 For the needy will not cease out of the land; therefore do I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open wide thy hand unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
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 thy brother, the Hebrew, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years; and in the seventh year shalt thou let him go free from thee.
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 thou lettest him go out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
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 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flocks, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-press; wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, that shalt thou give unto him.
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 And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God hath redeemed thee; therefore do I command thee this thing 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 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee:
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 shalt thou take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be unto thee a servant for ever; and also unto thy maid-servant shalt thou do likewise.
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 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee, that for double the wages of a hired laborer hath he served thee six years; and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.
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 All the first-born males that come of thy herds and of thy flocks shalt thou sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the first-born of thy bullock, and not shear the first-born of thy 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 Before the Lord thy God shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which the Lord will choose, thou with thy household.
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 And if there be any blemish thereon, if it be lame, or blind, or have any [other] ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy 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 Within thy gates shalt thou eat it, the unclean and the clean together, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
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 Only the blood thereof shalt thou not eat: upon the ground shalt thou pour it out as water.
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
