< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 “Ke yac akitkosr nukewa, kowos fah sisla soemoul lalos nukewa su soemoul nu suwos ke mani.
At the end of every 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 that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called Yhwh's release.
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 a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine 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 poor among you; for Yhwh shall greatly bless thee in the land which Yhwh 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.
Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe to do all these commandments 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 Yhwh thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign 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 among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 Kowos in kulang ac engan in sang kutena enenu lal, na el ac fah folokonot tok.
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
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 thought in thy wicked 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 unto Yhwh against thee, and it be sin unto 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 surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing Yhwh thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
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 poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide 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.
And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then 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 furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith Yhwh thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt 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 Yhwh 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 thine 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 aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant 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.
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: And Yhwh thy God shall 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.
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Yhwh thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, 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 Yhwh thy God year by year in the place which Yhwh shall 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.
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yhwh 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.
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, 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 ground as water.
