Deuteronomy 15
1 “Ke yac akitkosr nukewa, kowos fah sisla soemoul lalos nukewa su soemoul nu suwos ke mani.
At the end of seven years thou shalt make a release,
2 Kowos ac oru ouinge: Kutena mwet su sang mani nu sin sie mwet Israel wial, elan sisla soemoul sac; el fah tia srike in eisla sel, mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk tari in sisila soemoul uh.
and this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall relax his hand from the loan which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not demand it of his neighbour, or of his brother; for a release to Jehovah hath been proclaimed.
3 Kowos ku in sap mwetsac nukewa in folokonot soemoul lalos nu suwos, tusruktu kowos tia enenu in eis soemoul lun mwet Israel wiowos.
Of the foreigner thou mayest demand it; but what is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release;
4 “LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah akinsewowoye kowos in facl se su El sot nu suwos. Wangin sie suwos ac fah sukasrup,
save when there shall be no one in need among you; for Jehovah will greatly bless thee in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,
5 kowos fin aksol ac arulana karinganang in oru ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos misenge.
if thou only diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
6 LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos, oana ke El wulela. Kowos fah sang mani nu sin mutunfacl puspis su elos ac fah enenu in folokonot, tusruktu kowos fah tia enenu in ngusr mani selos. Kowos fah leumi mutunfacl puspis, tusruktu wangin mutunfacl ac fah leum fowos.
For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee; and thou shalt lend on pledge to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
7 “Fin oasr sie mwet Israel muta in enenu in kutena siti ke facl se ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, kowos in tia nunku keiwos sifacna, a kowos in kasrel.
If there be amongst you a poor man, any one of thy brethren in one of thy gates, in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy brother in need;
8 Kowos in kulang ac engan in sang kutena enenu lal, na el ac fah folokonot tok.
but thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto him, and shalt certainly lend him on pledge what is sufficient for his need, [in that] which he lacketh.
9 Kowos in tia srangesr sang mwe enenu lal an mweyen yac se akitkosr — yac in sisila soemoul uh — apkuranme. Nimet lela nunak koluk ouinge in oan in kowos. Kowos fin srunga sang enenu lun sie mwet Israel wiowos, el ac pang nu sin LEUM GOD lain kowos, ac kowos ac eis mwata.
Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin in thee.
10 Sang enenu lal an ke inse engan, tia ke inse toasr, na LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos ke ma nukewa kowos oru.
Thou shalt bountifully give unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil-disposed when thou givest unto him; because for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the business of thy hand.
11 Pacl nukewa ac oasr kutu mwet Israel su sukasrup ac muta in enenu, pa sis nga sapkin kowos in kulang nu selos ac kasrelos.
For the needy shall never cease from within the land; therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto thy brother, to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land.
12 “Sie mwet Israel wiom, mukul ku mutan, fin sifacna kukakunul nu sum tuh elan mwet kohs lom, kom tufah fuhlella tukun el kulansupwekom ke yac onkosr. Ke sun yac se akitkosr, kom enenu in aksukosokyalla.
If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, have been sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years, and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
13 Na ke kom fuhlella elan sukosokla, nimet supwalla pisinpo.
And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty;
14 Sang nu sel sheep ac nani, wheat ac wain, fal nu ke lupan ma LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom kac.
thou shalt certainly furnish him from thy sheep, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of what Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee with shalt thou give unto him.
15 Esam lah kowos tuh mwet kohs in Egypt, ac LEUM GOD lowos El molikowosla, pa oru nga sot ma sap se inge nu suwos.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee; therefore I command thee this thing to-day.
16 “Tusruktu mwet kohs lom an fin lungse kom ac sou lom, sahp el ac tia lungse som liki kom, a el ac kena mutana yurum.
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, — because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee, —
17 Fin ouinge, usalla nu ke srungul in lohm sum, ac putala sie pat ah ke sracl, na el ac fah mwet kohs lom ke lusenna moul lal. Oru oapana nu sin mutan kohs lom.
then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door; and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy handmaid thou shalt do likewise.
18 Nik kom inse toasr ke kom aksukosokyela sie mwet kohs lom, mweyen ke yac onkosr el tuh orekma nu sum ke tafunna molin sie mwet kulansap. Oru ouinge, na LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kom in ma nukewa kom oru.
Let it not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for double the worth of a hired servant hath he been to thee, [in] serving thee six years; and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.
19 “Srela nu sin LEUM GOD lowos wounse mukul ke cow ac sheep nutuwos. Nimet sang cow inge in orekma, ac nimet kal unen sheep inge.
Every firstling that is born among thy kine and among thy sheep that is a male, thou shalt hallow to Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy kine, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20 Ke kais sie yac, kowos ac sou lowos in kang ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD ke acn sefanna ma El sulela kowos in alu nu sel we.
Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God, year by year, in the place which Jehovah will choose, thou and thy household.
21 Tusruktu kosro inge fin ul, ku kun, ku oasr kutena ma koluk yohk ke manolos, kowos fah tia kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lowos.
But if there be a defect therein, [if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any evil defect, thou shalt not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God.
22 Kowos ku in kang kosro ouinge in lohm suwos. Finne mwet ma aknasnasyeyukla ku tia, kowos nukewa ku in kang, oana ke kowos kang deer ku antelope.
In thy gates shalt thou eat it; the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle and as the hart.
23 Tusruktu nimet kang srah kac — kowos in okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof: thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
