Deuteronomy 15
1 “At the end of every seven years, you must (cancel all debts/tell people who owe you money that they do not need to pay it back).
I KA pau ana o na makahiki pahiku e kala aku oe i na mea.
2 Do it like this: Each of you who has lent money to a fellow Israeli must cancel that debt. You must not insist that he pay it back. You must do that because Yahweh has declared that the debts must be canceled [every seven years].
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 [During that year] you may require foreigners [who live among you] to pay what they owe you, but you must not try to require that any fellow Israeli pay you what he owes you.
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 Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that he is giving to you. If you obey Yahweh our God and obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, there will not be any poor people among you.
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:
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 Yahweh our God will bless you like he has promised to do, and you will [be able to] lend money to people of other people-groups, but you will not [need to] borrow from any of them. You will control [the finances of] many people-groups, but they will not control your [finances].
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 “In the towns that Yahweh our God is giving to you, if there are any Israelis who are poor, do not be selfish [IDM] and refuse [IDM] to help them.
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 Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
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 Be sure that you do not say to yourself, ‘The year when debts will be canceled is near, [so I do not want to lend anyone any money now, because he will not need to pay it back when that year comes].’ It would be evil to even think that. If you act in an unfriendly way toward a needy fellow Israeli, and give him nothing, he will cry out to Yahweh about you, and [Yahweh will say that] you have sinned [by not helping that person].
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 Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
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 If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do. There will always be some poor people in your land, so I command you to give generously to poor [DOU] people.”
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 “If any of your fellow Israeli men or women sell themselves to one of you [to become your slave], you must free them after they have worked for you for six years. When the seventh year comes, you must free them.
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 When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
A i hookuu aku oe ia ia mai ou aku la, mai hookuu wale aku oe ia ia.
14 Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
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 Do not forget that your ancestors were once slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God freed them. That is the reason that I am now commanding you to do this.
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 “But one of your slaves may say, ‘I do not want to leave you.’ He loves you and your family, because you have treated him well.
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 If he says that, take him to the door of your house and, [while he stands against the doorway], pierce one of his earlobes with (an awl/a sharp pointed tool). That will indicate that he will be your slave for the rest of his life. Do the same thing to any female slave [who does not want to leave you].
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 “Do not complain when you are required to free your slaves. [Keep in mind that] they served you for six years, and you paid them only half as much as you pay the servants that you hire. [If you free them, ] Yahweh our God will bless you in everything 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 “(Set aside for/Dedicate to) Yahweh our God the firstborn male animals from your cattle and sheep. Do not force them to do any work for you, and do not (shear/cut off) the wool [of the firstborn animals to sell the wool].
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 and your family may [kill them and] eat their meat in the presence of Yahweh at the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him].
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 But if the animals have any defects, if they are lame or blind, or if they have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
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 may [kill and] eat [the meat of those animals] at your homes. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done such things are permitted to eat that meat, just like anyone is permitted to eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
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 But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
Aole nae oe e ai i ke koko o ia mea; e ninini oe ia mea ma ka honua e like me ka wai.
