Deotoronomia 15
1 Ary isam-pito taona dia manaova fanafahana ianao.
“At the end of seven years you make a release,
2 Ary izao no ho fomban’ ny fanafahana: Ny tompon-trosa rehetra izay nampanàna vola tamin’ ny namany dia hamoy izany; tsy hanery ny namany izay rahalahiny handoa izy, satria efa voantso ny fanafahan’ i Jehovah.
and this [is] the matter of the release: every owner of a loan [is] to release his hand which he lifts up against his neighbor, he does not exact of his neighbor and of his brother, but has proclaimed a release to YHWH;
3 Ny olona hafa firenena ihany no azonao terena handoa; fa izay anao amin’ ny rahalahinao kosa dia hafoinao;
of the stranger you may exact, but that which is yours with your brother your hand releases,
4 kanefa tsy dia hisy olo-malahelo eo aminao, fa hitahy anao tokoa Jehovah eo amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao,
except there is an end [when] no poor [are] with you; for YHWH greatly blesses you in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it,
5 raha mihaino tsara ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka mitandrina hanaraka izao lalàna rehetra izao, izay andidiako anao anio.
only if you listen diligently to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all this command which I am commanding you today.
6 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao hitahy anao araka izay nolazainy taminao; ary hampisambotra ny firenena maro ianao, fa ianao kosa tsy hisambotra; ary hanapaka firenena maro ianao, fa izy kosa tsy mba hanapaka anao.
For your God YHWH has blessed you as He has spoken to you; and you have lent [to] many nations, but you have not borrowed; and you have ruled over many nations, but they do not rule over you.
7 Raha misy malahelo ny rahalahinao ao an-tanànanao anankiray amin’ ny taninao izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, dia aza manamafy ny fonao, na manakombona ny tananao, amin’ ny rahalahinao malahelo;
When there is with you any poor of one of your brothers, in one of your cities, in your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, you do not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your needy brother;
8 fa sokafy tsara aminy ny tananao, ka ampisambory izay ilainy, araka izay mahory azy.
for you certainly open your hand to him, and certainly lend him sufficiency for his lack which he lacks.
9 Mitandrema fandrao hisy hevi-dratsy ao am-ponao manao hoe: Antomotra ny taona fahafito, dia ny taom-panafahana; ary ho ratsy fijery ny rahalahinao malahelo ianao, ka tsy hanome azy akory ianao; ary hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah hiampanga anao Izy, ka dia ho fahotanao izany.
Take heed to yourself lest there be a worthless word in your heart, saying, The seventh year [is] near, the year of release; and your eye is evil against your needy brother, and you do not give to him, and he has called to YHWH concerning you, and it has been sin in you;
10 Omeo tokoa izy, ary aoka tsy halahelo ny fonao raha manome azy, satria izany zavatra izany no hitahian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao amin’ ny asanao rehetra sy amin’ izay rehetra ataon’ ny tananao.
you certainly give to him, and your heart is not sad in your giving to him, for because of this thing your God YHWH blesses you in all your works and in every putting forth of your hand;
11 Fa ny tany tsy ilaozan’ olo-malahelo, koa izany no andidiako anao hoe: Sokafy tsara amin’ ny rahalahinao ny tananao, dia amin’ ny malahelo sy ny mahantra eo amin’ ny taninao.
because the poor does not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding you, saying, You certainly open your hand to your brother, to your poor and to your needy one in your land.
12 Raha hamidy aminao ny namanao, na lehilahy Hebreo, na vehivavy Hebreo, ka efa nanompo anao enin-taona, dia hovotsoranao ho afaka izy amin’ ny taona fahafito.
When your brother is sold to you, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he has served you [for] six years, then in the seventh year you send him away free from you.
13 Ary raha hovotsoranao ho afaka izy, dia tsy havelanao handeha fotsiny;
And when you send him away free from you, you do not send him away empty;
14 fa hisy hampitondrainao azy avy amin’ ny ondry aman’ osinao ary avy amin’ ny famoloanao sy ny famiazanao: araka izay efa nitahian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao no hanomezanao azy.
you certainly adorn him from your flock, and from your threshing-floor, and from your wine-vat; you give to him [from] that which your God YHWH has blessed you [with],
15 Ary tsarovy fa andevo tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ianao, nefa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa nanavotra anao, koa izany no andidiako anao izao zavatra izao anio.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you; therefore I am commanding you this thing today.
16 Kanefa raha hoy izy aminao: Tsy hiala aminao aho, satria tsy foiny ianao sy ny ankohonanao, ka finaritra aminao izy,
And it has been, when he says to you, I do not go out from you, because he has loved you and your house, because [it is] good for him with you,
17 dia halainao ny haolo ka hotevehinao amin’ ny varavarana ny sofiny, dia ho mpanomponao mandrakizay izy. Ary toy izany koa no hataonao amin’ ny ankizivavinao.
then you have taken the awl, and have put [it] through his ear, and through the door, and he has been a perpetual servant to you; and you also do so to your handmaid.
18 Aza ataonao ho sarotra ny hamotsotra azy ho afaka, fa indroa toraka ny karaman’ ny mpikarama no azonao tamin’ ny nanompoany anao enin-taona; dia hitahy anao Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ izay rehetra ataonao.
It is not hard in your eyes in your sending him away free from you; for [his worth has been] double the hire of a hired worker [when] he has served you six years; and your God YHWH has blessed you in all that you do.
19 Ny lahy rehetra amin’ ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao dia hohamasininao ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; aza mampiasa ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao, na manety ny voalohan-teraky ny ondry aman’ osinao.
Every firstling that is born in your herd and in your flock—you sanctify the male to your God YHWH; you do not work with the firstling of your ox, nor shear the firstling of your flock;
20 Eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hihinananao sy ny ankohonanao azy isan-taona isan-taona eo amin’ ny fitoerana izay hofidin’ i Jehovah.
you eat it before your God YHWH year by year, in the place which YHWH chooses, you and your house.
21 Fa raha misy kilemany izy: na mandringa, na jamba, na izay kilema ratsy hafa akory, dia aza vonoinao hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ireny.
And when there is a blemish in it, [or it is] lame or blind, [or has] any evil blemish, you do not sacrifice it to your God YHWH;
22 Ao an-tanànanao ihany no hihinananao ireny; na ny olona maloto na ny madio dia samy mahazo mihinana azy, tahaka ny ahazoany mihinana ny gazela sy ny diera.
you eat it within your gates, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe and as the deer.
23 Kanefa ny ràny no aza hanina, fa aidino amin’ ny tany toy ny rano.
Only, you do not eat its blood—you pour it on the earth as water.”
