Deuteronomy 15

1 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.

١ وَفِي آخِرِ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ سَابِعَةٍ تُبْرِئُ الْمَدْيُونِينَ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ

2 This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because the LORD's release has been proclaimed.

٢ وَهَذَا هُوَ الإِجْرَاءُ: يَقُومُ كُلُّ دَائِنٍ بِإِبْرَاءِ مَدِينِهِ مِمَّا أَقْرَضَهُ، وَلا يُطَالِبُ أَخَاهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ بِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ نُودِيَ بِوَقْتِ الرَّبِّ لإِلْغَاءِ الدُّيُونِ.

3 Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.

٣ أَمَّا الأَجْنَبِيُّ فَتُطَالِبُهُ بِالدَّيْنِ، وَأَمَّا أَخُوكَ فَتُبْرِئُهُ مِنْ دُيُونِهِ.

4 However there shall be no poor with you; (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it; )

٤ وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يَكُونَ فَقِيرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُبَارِكُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَرَّثَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً.

5 if only you diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.

٥ فَإِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَأَطَعْتُمْ، وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ،

6 For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

٦ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُبَارِكُكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ، فَتُقْرِضُونَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً وَلا تَقْتَرِضُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ، وَتَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَلا يَتَسَلَّطُ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

7 If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

٧ إِنْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَكُمْ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ فَقِيرٌ مُقِيمٌ فِي أَيِّ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُدُنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي سَيَهَبُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَلا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ وَتَمْتَنِعُوا عَنْ إِعَانَتِهِ،

8 but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.

٨ بَلِ اسْخُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأَقْرِضُوهُ مِقْدَارَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ.

9 Be careful lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand"; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.

٩ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُحَدِّثُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ بِخُبْثٍ قَائِلِينَ: هَا قَدْ قَرُبَتِ السَّنَةُ السَّابِعَةُ، سَنَةُ الإِبْرَاءِ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ فَيَسُوءُ الأَمْرُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَتَمْتَنِعُونَ عَنْ إِقْرَاضِهِ. فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَغِيثُ بِالرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتُصْبِحُونَ مُذْنِبِينَ فِي حُكْمِ الرَّبِّ.

10 You must surely give to him, and your heart is not to be grieved when you give to him; because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.

١٠ أَقْرِضُوهُ عَنْ طِيبِ خَاطِرٍ، لأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يُبَارِكُكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَمَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ،

11 For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

١١ فَالأَرْضُ لَنْ تَخْلُوَ أَبَداً مِنَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، لِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ أَنْ تَسْخُوا عَلَى أَخِيكُمُ الْمِسْكِينِ وَالْفَقِيرِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ.

12 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

١٢ إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ عِبْرَانِيًّا أَوْ عِبْرَانِيَّةً، وَخَدَمَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، فَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ تُطْلِقُهُ حُرّاً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ.

13 When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:

١٣ لَا تُطْلِقْهُ صِفْرَ الْيَدَيْنِ،

14 you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress, in proportion as the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

١٤ بَلْ زَوِّدْهُ مِمَّا بَارَكَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِهِ، مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَقَمْحٍ وَزَيْتٍ.

15 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.

١٥ وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَحَرَّرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لِذَلِكَ أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ الْيَوْمَ.

16 It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you"; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;

١٦ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكَ الْعَبْدُ: إِنَّنِي لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ وَأَحَبَّ بَيْتَكَ وَتَمَتَّعَ بِالْخَيْرِ عِنْدَكَ،

17 then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.

١٧ فَخُذْ مِثْقَباً وَاثْقُبْ بِهِ أُذْنَهُ أَمَامَ قُضَاةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَيُصْبِحَ لَكَ عَبْداً مَدَى حَيَاتِهِ. وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِأَمَتِكَ.

18 It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.

١٨ لَا يَصْعُبْ عَلَيْكَ إِطْلاقُهُ حُرّاً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَدَمَكَ فِي سِتِّ سَنَوَاتٍ بِمَا يُعَادِلُ ضِعْفَيْ أُجْرَةِ الأَجِيرِ، وَبِذَلِكَ يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ.

19 All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

١٩ خَصِّصْ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ بَقَرِكَ وَمِنْ غَنَمِكَ. لَا تَسْتَخْدِمْ بِكْرَ بَقَرِكَ وَلا تَجُزَّ صُوفَ بِكْرِ غَنَمِكَ،

20 You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.

٢٠ بَلْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِكَ، كُلَّ سَنَةٍ بِسَنَتِهَا، فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ.

21 If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.

٢١ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْبِكْرِ عَيْبٌ مِنْ عَرَجٍ أَوْ عَمىً أَوْ أَيِّ عَيْبٍ، فَلا تَذْبَحْهُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ،

22 You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.

٢٢ بَلْ تَأْكُلُهُ فِي مَدِينَتِكَ، الطَّاهِرُ وَالنَّجِسُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ، تَأْكُلُونَهُ كَمَا تَأْكُلُونَ الظَّبْيَ وَالأُيَّلَ.

23 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

٢٣ أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَاسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ.
