Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.
Nʼọgwụgwụ afọ asaa ọbụla, ị ga-akagbu ụgwọ niile mmadụ ji gị.
2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [aught] to his neighbor shall release [it]; he shall not exact [it] of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.
Otu a ka a ga-esi mee ya: Onye ọbụla e ji ụgwọ ga-akagbu ụgwọ niile onye Izrel ibe ya ji ya. Ọ gaghị elekwa anya na onye agbataobi ya maọbụ nwanna ya ga-akwụ ya ụgwọ ahụ, nʼihi na oge a na-ekwusa mgbaghara ụgwọ Onyenwe anyị eruola.
3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release:
Mgbaghara a erughị nʼebe ndị ọbịa nọ, ma ị ghaghị ịkagbu ụgwọ ọbụla nwanna gị ji gị.
4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:
Otu ọ dị, o kwesighị ka ndị ogbenye dịrị nʼetiti gị, nʼihi nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị ka inweta dịka ihe nketa gị, ọ ga-agọzi gị nke ukwuu,
5 Only if thou shalt carefully hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
ma ọ bụrụ na i rube isi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ma lezie anya debe iwu ndị a niile m na-enye gị taa.
6 For the LORD thy God shall bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị dịka o kwere na nkwa. Ị ga-agbazinye ọtụtụ mba ego, ị gaghị anọ nʼụkọ! Ị ga-achị ọtụtụ mba, ma ha agaghị achị gị.
7 If there shall be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD the God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother:
Ma mgbe ị banyere nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye gị, a sị na e nwee onye ogbenye nʼetiti gị, nke bụ onye Izrel ibe gị, ị gaghị emechi obi gị maọbụ kechie aka gị megide ya,
8 But thou shalt open thy hand wide to him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
ị ghaghị ịgbazinye ya ihe dị ka o si chọọ.
9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye shall be evil against thy poor brother, and thou shalt give him naught; and he shall cry to the LORD against thee, and it shall be sin to thee.
Lezie anya ka ị ghara inwe ụdị echiche ọjọọ a nʼobi gị sị, “Afọ mgbaghara ụgwọ na-abịa nso,” nʼihi ya, i kechie obi gị jụ ibinye nwanna gị nọ na mkpa ihe ọ chọrọ. Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ nọ na mkpa akwaa akwa kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị, a ga-agụ gị dịka onye ikpe mmehie mara.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest to him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thy hand to.
Ị ghaghị inye ha site nʼafọ ofufu, meekwa nke a na-enweghị obi ilu, mgbe ahụ, nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị nʼọrụ gị niile nakwa ihe niile nke ị tinyere aka na ya.
11 For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
A ghaghị inwe ndị ogbenye nʼetiti unu, ọ bụ ya mere iwu a jiri dị mkpa. Gbasapụ aka nʼebe nwanna gị na nʼebe ndị ogbenye na ndị nọ na mkpa nọ.
12 [And] if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, shall be sold to thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
Ọ bụrụ na onye Hibru ibe gị, ndị nwoke maọbụ ndị nwanyị, eresi gị onwe ha, gbakwaara gị odibo afọ isii, nʼafọ nke asaa, ị ghaghị ịhapụ ha ka ha nwere onwe ha.
13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him depart empty:
Mgbe ọ hapụrụ ụlọ gị, ezipụkwala ya nʼaka efu!
14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy wine-press: [of that] with which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give to him.
Ị ga-esite nʼigwe anụ ụlọ gị, na nʼebe ịzọcha ọka gị, na nʼebe ịzọcha vaịnị gị, nye ya onyinye pụrụ iche iji sị ya laa nʼudo. Nye ya onyinye a dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị si gọzie gị.
15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing this day.
Cheta na ị bụrị ohu nʼala Ijipt ma Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị gbapụtara gị. Ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka m ji na-enye gị iwu a taa.
16 And it shall be, if he shall say to thee, I will not leave thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee;
Ma ọ bụrụ na ohu gị asị gị, “Achọghị m ịhapụ gị,” nʼihi na ọ hụrụ gị na ndị ụlọ gị nʼanya, hụkwa na ihe na-agara gị na ya nke ọma, mgbe gị na ya nọ.
17 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through his ear into the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also to thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise.
Were agịga kpọpuo ntị ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ gị. Ọ ga-abụkwara gị ohu ogologo ndụ ya niile. Otu aka ahụ kwa ka ị ga-eme ohu gị nwanyị.
18 It shall not seem hard to thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been of double the worth of a hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
Enwela obi mwute mgbe ọbụla ị na-ahapụ ohu gị ka o nwere onwe ya, nʼihi na ị ga-echeta na ọ rụụrụ gị ọrụ afọ isii, ihe i mefukwara erughị ọkara ihe ị gaara eji goo ndị ọrụ. Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzikwa gị nʼihe niile ị na-eme.
19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
Nwa oke ehi ọbụla maọbụ nwa atụrụ ọbụla maọbụ nwa ewu ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼime igwe anụ ụlọ gị ka ị ga-edo nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ejila nwa mbụ nke ehi gị e buru ụzọ mụọ arụ ọrụ ubi, akpachakwala ajị nwa ewu maọbụ nwa atụrụ ọbụla e buru ụzọ mụọ dị nʼime igwe ewu na atụrụ gị.
20 Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
Gị na ezinaụlọ gị ga-eri anụ ndị a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị afọ ọbụla nʼebe ọ họpụtara.
21 And if there is [any] blemish in it, [as if it is] lame, or blind, [or hath] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it to the LORD thy God.
Ma ọ bụrụ na nwa anụ ọbụla e buru ụzọ mụọ nwere nkwarụ, dịka ngwụrọ maọbụ ìsì maọbụ nkwarụ ọbụla nke jọrọ njọ, ị gaghị eji ya achụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
Kama, ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri nye ezinaụlọ gị nʼime ụlọ gị. Onye ọbụla, ma ndị dị ọcha ma onye rụrụ arụ nʼoge ahụ ga-eri ya, dịka onye ọbụla pụrụ iri anụ ele maọbụ anụ mgbada.
23 Only thou shalt not eat its blood; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
Ma erila ọbara ya. Wụsa ya nʼala dịka mmiri.
