Deuteronomy 15

1 At the end of every seven years, you must cancel debts.

From [the] end of seven years you will observe a remission.

2 This is the manner of the release: Every creditor will cancel that which he has lent to his neighbor; he will not demand it from his neighbor or his brother because Yahweh's cancellation of debts has been proclaimed.

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.

3 From a foreigner you may demand it; but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand must release.

The foreigner you will press and [that] which it will belong to you with countryman your let it release hand your.

4 However, there should be no poor among you (for Yahweh will surely bless you in the land that he gives you as an inheritance to possess),

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.

5 if only you diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all these commandments that I am commanding you today.

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.

6 For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.

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.

7 If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, within any of your gates in your land that Yahweh your God is giving you, you must not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

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.

8 but you must surely open your hand to him and surely lend him sufficient for his need.

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.

9 Be careful not to have a wicked thought in your heart, saying, 'The seventh year, the year of release, is near,' so that you will not be stingy in regard to your poor brother and give him nothing; he might cry out to Yahweh about you, and it would be sin for you.

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.

10 You must surely give to him, and your heart must not be sorry when you give to him, because in return for this Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.

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.

11 For the poor will never cease to exist in the land; therefore I command you and say, 'You must surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land.'

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.

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

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.

13 When you let him go free from you, you must not let him go empty-handed.

And if you will let go him a free [person] from with you not you will let go him emptily.

14 You must liberally provide for him out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As Yahweh your God has blessed you, you must give to him.

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.

15 You must remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh your God redeemed you; therefore I am commanding you today to do this.

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.

16 It will happen that if he says to you, 'I will not go away from you,' because he loves you and your house, and because he is well off with you,

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.

17 then you must take an awl and thrust it through his ear to a door, and he will be your servant for life. You must do the same with your female servant.

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.

18 It must not seem difficult for you to let him go free from you, because he has served you for six years and given twice the value of a hired person. Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do.

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.

19 All the firstborn males in your herd and your flock you must set apart to Yahweh your God. You will do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

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.

20 You must eat the firstborn before Yahweh your God year by year in the place that Yahweh will choose, you and your household.

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.

21 If it has any blemish—for example, if it is lame or blind, or has any blemish whatever—you must not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God.

And if it will be in it a blemish lame or blind any blemish bad not you will sacrifice it to Yahweh God your.

22 You will eat it within your gates; the unclean and the clean persons alike must eat it, as you would eat a gazelle or a deer.

In gates your you will eat it the unclean and the clean alike like gazelle and like deer.

23 Only you must not eat its blood; you must pour its blood out on the ground like water.

Only blood its not you must eat on the ground you will pour out it like water.
