< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 “At the end of seven years you make a release,
I KA pau ana o na makahiki pahiku e kala aku oe i na mea.
2 and this [is] the matter of the release: every owner of a loan [is] to release his hand which he lifts up against his neighbor, he does not exact of his neighbor and of his brother, but has proclaimed a release to YHWH;
Penei ke ano o ke kala ana'ku: o ka mea nona ka aie, nana e haawi aie i kona hoalauna, oia ke kala aku; mai kii hou aku oia ia mea i kona hoalauna, aole hoi i kona hoahanau; no ka mea, ua oleloia mai, o ko ke Akua kala ana ia.
3 of the stranger you may exact, but that which is yours with your brother your hand releases,
He pono e kii hou aku oe i ke kanaka e, aka, o kau mea me kou hoahanau, na kou lima ia e kala aku;
4 except there is an end [when] no poor [are] with you; for YHWH greatly blesses you in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it,
I mea e ilihune ole ai kekahi mea o oukou; no ka mea, na Iehova oe e hoopomaikai nui mai ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe i wahi e noho ai nou:
5 only if you listen diligently to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all this command which I am commanding you today.
I kou manawa wale no e hoolohe pono ai i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua, i ka malama pono i neia mau kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la.
6 For your God YHWH has blessed you as He has spoken to you; and you have lent [to] many nations, but you have not borrowed; and you have ruled over many nations, but they do not rule over you.
No ka mea, ke hoopomaikai nei o Iehova kou Akua ia oe, e like me kana olelo ana mai ia oe: e haawi lilo ole aku oe i na lahuikanaka he nui, aole oe e noi wale aku; e noho alii oe maluna o na lahuikanaka he nui, aole hoi lakou e noho alii maluna on.
7 When there is with you any poor of one of your brothers, in one of your cities, in your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, you do not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your needy brother;
Ina iwaena o oukou kekahi hoahanau ilihune ou maloko o kekahi o kou mau ipuka ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe, mai hoopaakiki oe i kou naau, aole hoi e aua kou lima no kou hoahanau ilihune:
8 for you certainly open your hand to him, and certainly lend him sufficiency for his lack which he lacks.
Aka, e wehe loa oe i kou lima ia ia, a e haawi io aku ia ia i ka mea e pono ai kona nele, ana i hemahema ai.
9 Take heed to yourself lest there be a worthless word in your heart, saying, The seventh year [is] near, the year of release; and your eye is evil against your needy brother, and you do not give to him, and he has called to YHWH concerning you, and it has been sin in you;
E ao, o kupu mai ka manao iloko o kou naau ino, e i iho ana, Ua kokoke mai nei ka hiku o ka makahiki, ka makahiki e hookala aku ai; a nana ino aku kou maka i kou hoahanau ilihune, a haawi ole aku oe nana; a e kahea aku oia ia Iehova nou, a e lilo ia i hewa nou.
10 you certainly give to him, and your heart is not sad in your giving to him, for because of this thing your God YHWH blesses you in all your works and in every putting forth of your hand;
E oiaio no, e haawi aku oe nana, aole e minamina kou naau i kou haawi ana'ku nana: no ka mea, oia ka mea e hoopomaikai mai ai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe ma kau hana ana a pau, a ma na mea a pau a kou lima e lawe ai.
11 because the poor does not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding you, saying, You certainly open your hand to your brother, to your poor and to your needy one in your land.
No ka mea, aole e pau ka poe ilihune ma ka honua; nolaila, ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe, i ka i ana'ku, E wehe loa oe i kou lima i kou hoahanau, i kou poe ilihune, a me kou poe nele ma kou aina.
12 When your brother is sold to you, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he has served you [for] six years, then in the seventh year you send him away free from you.
Ina paha e kuaiia mai nou kou hoahanau, he kanaka Hebera. he wahine Hebera paha, a e hookauwa mai oia nau i na makahiki eono; a o ka hiku o ka makahiki e hookuu aku oe ia ia mai ou aku la.
13 And when you send him away free from you, you do not send him away empty;
A i hookuu aku oe ia ia mai ou aku la, mai hookuu wale aku oe ia ia.
14 you certainly adorn him from your flock, and from your threshing-floor, and from your wine-vat; you give to him [from] that which your God YHWH has blessed you [with],
E hoolako oe ia ia i kekahi o kau poe hipa, a me kau palaoa, a me kau waina: i ka mea a Iehova kou Akua, i hoopomaikai ai ia oe, e haawi aku ia ia.
15 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you; therefore I am commanding you this thing today.
A e hoomanao hoi oe, he kauwa no oe ma ka aina o Aigupita, a na Iehova na kou Akua oe i hoopakele: nolaila e kauoha aku nei au ia oe ia mea i keia la.
16 And it has been, when he says to you, I do not go out from you, because he has loved you and your house, because [it is] good for him with you,
Ina paha e olelo oia ia oe, Aole au makemake e hele mai ou aku la, no kona aloha ia oe a me kou ohua, a no kona pomaikai ia oe;
17 then you have taken the awl, and have put [it] through his ear, and through the door, and he has been a perpetual servant to you; and you also do so to your handmaid.
Alaila e lalau oe i ke kui, a hou aku i kona pepeiao a ma ka puka, a e lilo ia i kauwa mau nau: a pela oe e hana aku ai i kau kauwawahine.
18 It is not hard in your eyes in your sending him away free from you; for [his worth has been] double the hire of a hired worker [when] he has served you six years; and your God YHWH has blessed you in all that you do.
Mai minamina oe i kou hookuu aku ia ia mai ou aku la; no ka mea, ua oi aku kona pono ia oe, i ko na kauwa hoolimalima elua, i kona malama ana ia oe i na makahiki eono: a e hoopomaikai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i na mea a pau au e hana'i.
19 Every firstling that is born in your herd and in your flock—you sanctify the male to your God YHWH; you do not work with the firstling of your ox, nor shear the firstling of your flock;
O na hanau mua a pau o kau poe bipi, a me kau poe hipa e hoolaa oe no Iehova kou Akua; mai hoohana oe i ka hanau mua o kau bipi, aole hoi e ako i ka hulu o kau hipa hanau mua.
20 you eat it before your God YHWH year by year, in the place which YHWH chooses, you and your house.
Imua o Iehova kou Akua e ai ai oe ia mea ma kahi a Iehova e wae ai, o oe a me kou ohua.
21 And when there is a blemish in it, [or it is] lame or blind, [or has] any evil blemish, you do not sacrifice it to your God YHWH;
Ina paha he wahi kina o ia mea, he oopa paha, he makapo paha, a he wahi mea kina iki, mai kaumaha aku oe ia mea ia Iehova kou Akua.
22 you eat it within your gates, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe and as the deer.
E ai oe ia mea iloko o kou mau ipuka: o ke kanaka haumia, a me ke kanaka maemae e ai no, e like me ke gazela, a me ka dea hihiu.
23 Only, you do not eat its blood—you pour it on the earth as water.”
Aole nae oe e ai i ke koko o ia mea; e ninini oe ia mea ma ka honua e like me ka wai.
