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).
हरेक सात वर्षको अन्त्यमा कर्जाहरू रद्द गरिदिनू ।
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].
त्यो काम यसरी गरिने छः हरेक ऋणदाताले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दिएको ऋण रद्द गरिदिने छ । त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकी वा भाइबाट ऋणको माग गर्दैन किनकि परमप्रभुको कर्जामाफीको घोषणा गरिएको छ ।
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.
तिमीहरूले परदेशीबाट चाहिँ यसको माग गर्न सक्छौ, तर तिम्रो भाइको ऋणचाहिँ फुक्का गरिदेओ ।
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.
तथापि, तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही गरिब हुनुहुँदैन (किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा अधिकार गर्न दिनुहुने देशमा तिमीहरूलाई निश्चय नै आशिष् दिनुहुने छ) ।
तर यसको लागि तिमीहरूले आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका यी सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आवाज होसियारीसाथ सुन्नुपर्छ ।
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].
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूलाई ऋण दिने छौ, तर तिमीहरूले ऋण लिने छैनौ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छौ, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छैनन् ।
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.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशको कुनै पनि सहरभित्र तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पनि भाइ गरिब भयो भने तिमीहरूको गरिब भाइप्रति तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हृदय कठोर पार्नुहुँदैन न त मुट्ठी बाँध्नुहुन्छ ।
8 Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
तर तिमीहरूले उसलाई निश्चय नै आफ्नो हात खुला गर्नू, र उसको खाँचोको लागि पर्याप्त मात्रामा ऋण दिनू ।
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].
'सातौँ वर्ष अर्थात् छुटकाराको वर्ष नजिकै छ' भनी आफ्नो मनमा दुष्ट विचार ननिम्त्याउन होसियार होओ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएको गरिब भाइप्रति लोभी नभएर तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिन सक । तिमीहरू लोभी भयौ भने त्यो पाप हुन्छ ।
10 Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
निश्चय नै तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिनू, र तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिँदा हृदयमा दुःख नमान्नू किनकि यसको साटो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका सबै काम र तिमीहरूले हात हाल्ने सबै थोकमा आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।
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.”
किनकि देशमा गरिबहरूको कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुने छैन । त्यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिन्छु, 'तिमीहरूको देशमा खाँचोमा परेको तिमीहरूका भाइ र गरिबको लागि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हात खुला राख्नू ।'
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.
तिमीहरूका हिब्रू भाइ या बहिनी तिमीकहाँ बेचिएको छ र त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गरेको छ भने सातौँ वर्षमा तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिनू ।
13 When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिँदा त्यसलाई रित्तो हात नपठाओ ।
14 Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
तिमीहरूका भेडा-बाख्रा, खला र दाखको कोलबाट त्यसलाई प्रशस्त मात्रामा लिएर जान देओ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएमुताबिक त्यसलाई दिनू ।
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.
तिमीहरू मिश्र देशमा कमारा थियौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो भनी तिमीहरूले याद गर्नू । त्यसकारण आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिँदै छु ।
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.
त्यसले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरलाई माया गरेकोले र तिमीहरूसित राम्ररी बसेकोले 'म तपाईंहरूकहाँबाट जान्नँ' भन्यो भने
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].
एउटा सुतारो लिएर त्यसको कानको लोती ढोकामा लगाएर छेड्नू, र त्यो जीवनभरि तिमीहरूको कमारो हुने छ । तिमीहरूका कमारीलाई पनि यसै गर्नू ।
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.”
त्यसलाई फुक्का भएर जान दिन अप्ठ्यारो नमान्नू किनकि त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूको सेवा गरेको छ र ज्यालादारी व्यक्तिले गर्ने दोब्बर काम गरेको छ । तिमीहरूले गर्ने सबै काममा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।
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].
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि अलग गर्नू । गाईवस्तुबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई कुनै काम नगराउनू न त भेडा-बाख्राबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूबाट ऊन कत्रनू ।
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].
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा वर्षैपिच्छे उहाँको सामु तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरानाले पहिले जन्मेकोलाई खानू ।
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.
त्यो लङ्गडा वा अन्धा वा त्यसमा कुनै किसिमको खोट छ भने तिमीहरूले त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु नचढाउनू ।
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.
त्यसलाई तिमीहरूकै सहरभित्र खानू । हरिण वा मृगको मासु खाएझैँ शुद्ध र अशुद्ध व्यक्तिहरूले समान रूपमा खानू ।
23 But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
केवल तिमीहरूले यसको रगतचाहिँ नखानू। पानीझैँ गरी यसलाई भुइँमा पोखाइदिनू ।
