< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 From [the] end of seven years you will observe a remission.
In the seuenthe yeer thou schalt make remyssioun,
2 And this [is] [the] manner of the remission he will remit every owner [the] loan of hand his which he will lend to neighbor his not he will press neighbor his and countryman his for someone has proclaimed a remission of Yahweh.
that schal be fillid bi this ordre. To whom ony thing is `dettid, ethir owid of his freend, ether neiybore, and brother, he schal not mowe axe, for it is the yeer of remyssioun of the Lord.
3 The foreigner you will press and [that] which it will belong to you with countryman your let it release hand your.
Thou schalt axe of a pilgrym and comelyng; thou hast not power to axe of a citeseyn and neiybore;
4 Nevertheless for not he will be among you a needy [person] for surely he will bless you Yahweh in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance to take possession of it.
and outerli a nedi man and begger schal not be among you, that thi Lord God blesse thee, in the lond which he schal yyue to thee in to the possessioun.
5 Only certainly [if] you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to take care to observe all the commandment this which I [am] commanding you this day.
If netheles thou schalt here the vois of thi Lord God, and schalt kepe alle thingis whiche he comaundide, and whiche Y comaunde to dai to thee, he schal blesse thee, as he bihiyte.
6 For Yahweh God your he has blessed you just as he spoke to you and you will lend to nations many and you not you will borrow and you will rule over nations many and over you not they will rule.
Thou schalt leene to many folkis, and thou schalt not take borewyng of ony man; thou schalt be lord of ful many naciouns, and no man schal be lord of thee.
7 If he will be among you a needy [person] any one of countrymen your in one of gates your in land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you not you will harden heart your and not you will shut hand your from countryman your needy.
If oon of thi britheren that dwellen with ynne the yatis of thi citee, in the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, cometh to pouert, thou schalt not make hard thin herte, nether thou schalt `drawe to gydere the hond,
8 For certainly you will open hand your to him and certainly you will lend to him sufficiency of lack his which it will be lacking to him.
but thou schalt opene it to the pore man, and thou schalt `yyue loone to which thou siest hym haue nede.
9 Take heed to yourself lest it should be a word with heart your worthlessness saying it has drawn near [the] year of the seven [the] year of the remission and it will be evil eye your on countryman your needy and not you will give to him and he will call out against you to Yahweh and it will be on you sin.
Be thou war lest perauenture wickid thouyt crepe priueli to thee, and thou seie in thin herte, The seuenthe yeer of remyssioun neiyeth; and thou turne awey the iyen fro thi pore brother, and thou nyle yyue to hym the loone that he axith; lest he crie ayens thee to the Lord, and it be maad to thee in to synne.
10 Certainly you will give to him and not it will sadden heart your when giving you to him for on account of - the thing this he will bless you Yahweh God your in all work your and in every undertaking of hand your.
But thou schalt yyue to hym, and thou schalt `not do ony thing falsly in releuynge `hise nedis, that thi Lord God blesse thee in al tyme, and in alle thingis to whiche thou schalt sette to hond.
11 For not he will cease [the] needy from [the] midst of the land there-fore I [am] commanding you saying certainly you will open hand your to countryman your to poor [person] your and to needy [person] your in land your.
Pore men schulen not faile in the lond of `thin habitacioun; therfor Y comaunde to thee, that thou opene the hond to thi brother nedi and pore, that lyuen with thee in the lond.
12 If he will sell himself to you countryman your Hebrew [masc] or Hebrew [fem] and he will serve you six years and in the year seventh you will let go him a free [person] from with you.
Whanne thi brothir an Ebrew man, ethir an Ebrew womman, is seeld to thee, and hath serued thee sixe yeer, in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt delyuere hym fre.
13 And if you will let go him a free [person] from with you not you will let go him emptily.
And thou schalt not suffre hym go awey voide, to whom thou hast yyue fredom;
14 Certainly you will provide for him from flock your and from threshing floor your and from wine-press your [that] which he has blessed you Yahweh God your you will give to him.
but thou schalt yyue lijflode in the weye, of flockis, and of cornfloor, and of thi pressour, in whiche thi Lord God hath blessid thee.
15 And you will remember that a slave you were in [the] land of Egypt and he redeemed you Yahweh God your there-fore I [am] commanding you the matter this this day.
Haue thou mynde that also thou seruedist in the lond of Egipt, and thi Lord God delyurede thee, `ether made thee free, and therfor Y comaunde now to thee.
16 And it will be that he will say to you not I will go out from with you for he loves you and household your for it has been good for him with you.
Forsothe if `the seruaunt seith, Y nyle go out, for he loueth thee, and thin hows, and feelith that it is wel to hym at thee, thou schalt take `a nal,
17 And you will take the awl and you will put [it] in ear his and in the door and he will be of you a slave of perpetuity and also to maidservant your you will do thus.
and thou schalt peerse his eere in the yate of thin hous, and he schal serue thee til in to the world, `that is til to the iubilee, ethir fiftithe yeer; also thou schalt do in lijk maner to the handmayde.
18 Not it will be hard in view your when letting go you him a free [person] from with you for double [the] hire of a hired laborer he has served you six years and he will bless you Yahweh God your in all that you will do.
Thou schalt not turne awei fro hem thin iyen, whanne thou schalt delyure hem fre, for bi the hire of an hirid man thei serueden thee bi sixe yeer; that thi Lord God blesse thee, in alle the werkis whiche thou doist.
19 Every firstborn which it will be born in herd your and in flock your the male you will consecrate to Yahweh God your not you will labor by [the] firstborn of ox[en] your and not you will shear [the] firstborn of sheep your.
Of the first gendrid thingis that ben borun in thi droues, and scheep, what euer is of male kynde, thou schalt halewe to thi Lord God. Thou schalt not worche in the firste gendrid thing `of oxe, and thou schalt not clippe the firste gendrid thinges of scheep.
20 Before Yahweh God your you will eat it a year in a year in the place which he will choose Yahweh you and household your.
Thou schalt ete tho bi alle yeeris in the siyt of thi Lord God, thou, and thin hows, in the place `which the Lord chees.
21 And if it will be in it a blemish lame or blind any blemish bad not you will sacrifice it to Yahweh God your.
Sotheli if it hath a wem, ethir is crokid, ethir is blynd, ethir is foul, ethir feble in ony part, it schal not be offrid to thi Lord God;
22 In gates your you will eat it the unclean and the clean alike like gazelle and like deer.
but thou schalt ete it with ynne the yatis of thi citee, bothe a cleene man and vncleene schulen ete tho in lijk maner, as a capret and an hert.
23 Only blood its not you must eat on the ground you will pour out it like water.
Onely thou schalt kepe this, that thou ete not the blood of tho, but schede out as watir in to erthe.
