Kanawailua 15
1 I KA pau ana o na makahiki pahiku e kala aku oe i na mea.
“In the seventh year, you shall perform a remission,
2 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.
which shall be celebrated according to this order. Anyone to whom anything is owed, by his friend or neighbor or brother, will not be able to request its return, because it is the year of remission of the Lord.
3 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;
From the sojourner and the new arrival, you may require its return. From your fellow countryman and neighbor, you will not have the power to request its return.
4 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:
And there shall not be anyone indigent or begging among you, so that the Lord your God may bless you in the land which he will deliver to you as a possession.
5 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.
But only if you heed the voice of the Lord your God, and keep to all that he has ordered, that which I am entrusting to you this day, will he bless you, just as he has promised.
6 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.
You shall lend money to many nations, and you yourselves shall borrow in return from no one. You shall rule over very many nations, and no one shall rule over you.
7 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:
If one of your brothers, who dwells within the gates of your city, in the land which the Lord your God will give to you, falls into poverty, you shall not harden your heart, nor tighten your hand.
8 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.
Instead, you shall open your hand to the poor, and you shall lend to him whatever you perceive him to need.
9 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.
Take care, lest perhaps an impious thought might creep within you, and you might say in your heart: ‘The seventh year of remission approaches.’ And so you might turn your eyes away from your poor brother, unwilling to lend to him what he has asked. If so, then he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it will be a sin for you.
10 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.
Instead, you shall give to him. Neither shall you do anything craftily while assisting him in his needs, so that the Lord your God may bless you, at all times and in all things to which you will put your hand.
11 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.
The poor will not be absent from the land of your habitation. For this reason, I instruct you to open your hand to your indigent and poor brother, who lives among you in the land.
12 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.
When your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, has been sold to you, and has served you for six years, in the seventh year you shall set him free.
13 A i hookuu aku oe ia ia mai ou aku la, mai hookuu wale aku oe ia ia.
And when you grant his freedom, you shall by no means permit him to go away empty.
14 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.
Instead, you shall give to him, for his journey, from your flocks and threshing floor and winepress, with which the Lord your God has blessed you.
15 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.
Remember that you yourself also served in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. And therefore, I now command this of you.
16 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;
But if he will say, ‘I am not willing to depart,’ because he loves you and your household, and because he feels that it would be good for him to stay with you,
17 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.
then you shall take an awl and pierce his ear, at the door of your house. And he shall serve you even forever. You shall also act similarly toward your woman servant.
18 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.
You should not avert your eyes from them when you set them free, because he has served you for six years, in a manner deserving of the pay of a hired hand. So may the Lord your God bless you in all the works that you do.
19 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.
Of the firstborn, those born from your herds and sheep, you shall sanctify to the Lord your God whatever is of the male sex. You shall not put the firstborn of the oxen to work, nor shall you shear the firstborn of the sheep.
20 Imua o Iehova kou Akua e ai ai oe ia mea ma kahi a Iehova e wae ai, o oe a me kou ohua.
In the sight of the Lord your God, you shall eat these, each year, in the place which the Lord will choose, you and your household.
21 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.
But if it has a blemish, or is lame, or is blind, or if it is in any part deformed or debilitated, it shall not be immolated to the Lord your God.
22 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.
Instead, you shall eat it within the gates of your city. The clean as well as the unclean alike shall feed on these, such as the roe deer and the stag.
23 Aole nae oe e ai i ke koko o ia mea; e ninini oe ia mea ma ka honua e like me ka wai.
This alone shall you observe: that you do not eat their blood, but pour it upon the ground like water.”
