व्यवस्था 15

1 हरेक सात वर्षको अन्त्यमा कर्जाहरू रद्द गरिदिनू ।

You are to cancel debts the end of every seven years.

2 त्यो काम यसरी गरिने छः हरेक ऋणदाताले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दिएको ऋण रद्द गरिदिने छ । त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकी वा भाइबाट ऋणको माग गर्दैन किनकि परमप्रभुको कर्जामाफीको घोषणा गरिएको छ ।

This is the way the it will work: If you provided a loan to someone you must cancel it. You are not allowed to collect anything from another Israelite, because the Lord's time of debt cancelation has been announced.

3 तिमीहरूले परदेशीबाट चाहिँ यसको माग गर्न सक्छौ, तर तिम्रो भाइको ऋणचाहिँ फुक्‍का गरिदेओ ।

You are allowed to collect payments from a foreigner, but you must cancel whatever your fellow Israelite owes you.

4 तथापि, तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही गरिब हुनुहुँदैन (किनकि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा अधिकार गर्न दिनुहुने देशमा तिमीहरूलाई निश्‍चय नै आशिष् दिनुहुने छ) ।

However, you shouldn't have poor people among you, for the Lord will really bless you in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.

5 तर यसको लागि तिमीहरूले आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका यी सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आवाज होसियारीसाथ सुन्‍नुपर्छ ।

You just need to make sure you obey the Lord your God, and that you're careful to follow all these commandments I'm giving you today.

6 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूलाई ऋण दिने छौ, तर तिमीहरूले ऋण लिने छैनौ । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छौ, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने छैनन् ।

The Lord your God is going to bless you as he promised. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them; you will rule over many nations but you won't be ruled by them.

7 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्‍नुभएको देशको कुनै पनि सहरभित्र तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पनि भाइ गरिब भयो भने तिमीहरूको गरिब भाइप्रति तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हृदय कठोर पार्नुहुँदैन न त मुट्ठी बाँध्‍नुहुन्छ ।

If there are Israelites who are poor in any of your towns in the country the Lord your God is giving you, then you must not be unfeeling or miserly towards them.

8 तर तिमीहरूले उसलाई निश्‍चय नै आफ्नो हात खुला गर्नू, र उसको खाँचोको लागि पर्याप्‍त मात्रामा ऋण दिनू ।

On the contrary. You should be generous to them, and lend them whatever they need.

9 'सातौँ वर्ष अर्थात् छुटकाराको वर्ष नजिकै छ' भनी आफ्नो मनमा दुष्‍ट विचार ननिम्त्याउन होसियार होओ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएको गरिब भाइप्रति लोभी नभएर तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिन सक । तिमीहरू लोभी भयौ भने त्यो पाप हुन्छ ।

Make sure you don't think evil thoughts like, “The seventh year is coming up when debts will be canceled,” so that you look down on the poor with a sneer and refuse to give them anything. They will complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.

10 निश्‍चय नै तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिनू, र तिमीहरूले उसलाई दिँदा हृदयमा दुःख नमान्‍नू किनकि यसको साटो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूका सबै काम र तिमीहरूले हात हाल्ने सबै थोकमा आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।

Give and give again to them, and don't feel irritated when you give. When you give generously the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you decide to do.

11 किनकि देशमा गरिबहरूको कहिल्यै अन्त्य हुने छैन । त्यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिन्छु, 'तिमीहरूको देशमा खाँचोमा परेको तिमीहरूका भाइ र गरिबको लागि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हात खुला राख्‍नू ।'

You will always have those who are poor and in need among you, so that's why I'm telling you to give generously to them.

12 तिमीहरूका हिब्रू भाइ या बहिनी तिमीकहाँ बेचिएको छ र त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गरेको छ भने सातौँ वर्षमा तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिनू ।

If a Hebrew, one of your own people, whether man or woman, sells themselves to you as a slave and works for you for six years, you have to free them in the seventh year.

13 तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिँदा त्यसलाई रित्तो हात नपठाओ ।

And when you free them, don't send them away with nothing.

14 तिमीहरूका भेडा-बाख्रा, खला र दाखको कोलबाट त्यसलाई प्रशस्त मात्रामा लिएर जान देओ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएमुताबिक त्यसलाई दिनू ।

Give them plenty of gifts: animals from your flocks, grain from your threshing floor, and wine from your winepress. Give to them as generously as the Lord your God has blessed you.

15 तिमीहरू मिश्र देशमा कमारा थियौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो भनी तिमीहरूले याद गर्नू । त्यसकारण आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिँदै छु ।

Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. That's why I'm giving you this command today.

16 त्यसले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरलाई माया गरेकोले र तिमीहरूसित राम्ररी बसेकोले 'म तपाईंहरूकहाँबाट जान्‍नँ' भन्यो भने

However, if your male slave tells you, “I don't want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is better off staying with you,

17 एउटा सुतारो लिएर त्यसको कानको लोती ढोकामा लगाएर छेड्नू, र त्यो जीवनभरि तिमीहरूको कमारो हुने छ । तिमीहरूका कमारीलाई पनि यसै गर्नू ।

then use a metal tool to pierce his ear against the door, and he will be your slave for life. Do the same for your female slave.

18 त्यसलाई फुक्‍का भएर जान दिन अप्ठ्यारो नमान्‍नू किनकि त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूको सेवा गरेको छ र ज्यालादारी व्यक्तिले गर्ने दोब्बर काम गरेको छ । तिमीहरूले गर्ने सबै काममा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।

Don't see it as a problem to free your slave, because your slave's six years of service to you was worth twice what you would have paid to hire someone. The Lord your God will bless you in everything you do for acting in this way.

19 तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको लागि अलग गर्नू । गाईवस्तुबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई कुनै काम नगराउनू न त भेडा-बाख्राबाट पहिले जन्मेकाहरूबाट ऊन कत्रनू ।

You are to separate out to give the Lord your God all the firstborn males of your herds and flocks. You must not have the firstborn of your cattle work, and don't shear the firstborn of your sheep.

20 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा वर्षैपिच्छे उहाँको सामु तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घरानाले पहिले जन्मेकोलाई खानू ।

Every year you and your family are to eat these animals that have been sacrificed in the presence of the Lord your God in the place that the Lord will choose.

21 त्यो लङ्गडा वा अन्धा वा त्यसमा कुनै किसिमको खोट छ भने तिमीहरूले त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु नचढाउनू ।

However, if an animal has some defect or is lame or blind, in fact if it has any serious defect at all, you are not to sacrifice it to the Lord your God.

22 त्यसलाई तिमीहरूकै सहरभित्र खानू । हरिण वा मृगको मासु खाएझैँ शुद्ध र अशुद्ध व्यक्तिहरूले समान रूपमा खानू ।

Eat it at home. All of you, whether you're ceremonially clean or not, can it eat it just like you would eat a gazelle or a deer,

23 केवल तिमीहरूले यसको रगतचाहिँ नखानू। पानीझैँ गरी यसलाई भुइँमा पोखाइदिनू ।

but you are not to eat the blood—pour that out on the ground.
