Ponovljeni Zakon 15
1 Svake sedme godine opraštaj.
“At the end of every seven years, you must (cancel all debts/tell people who owe you money that they do not need to pay it back).
2 A opraštanje da biva ovako: kome je ko dužan što, neka oprosti što bi mogao tražiti od bližnjega svojega; neka ne traži od bližnjega svojega i od brata svojega, jer je opraštanje Gospodnje oglašeno.
Do it like this: Each of you who has lent money to a fellow Israeli must cancel that debt. You must not insist that he pay it back. You must do that because Yahweh has declared that the debts must be canceled [every seven years].
3 Od tuðina traži, ali što bi imao u brata svojega, ono neka mu oprosti ruka tvoja,
[During that year] you may require foreigners [who live among you] to pay what they owe you, but you must not try to require that any fellow Israeli pay you what he owes you.
4 Da ne bi bilo siromaha meðu vama, jer æe te obilno blagosloviti Gospod u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj da u našljedstvo da je tvoja.
Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that he is giving to you. If you obey Yahweh our God and obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, there will not be any poor people among you.
5 Samo ako dobro uzaslušaš glas Gospoda Boga svojega gledajuæi da èiniš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas,
6 Blagosloviæe te Gospod Bog tvoj, kao što ti je kazao, te æeš davati u zajam mnogim narodima, a ni od koga neæeš uzimati u zajam, i vladaæeš mnogim narodima, a oni tobom neæe vladati.
Yahweh our God will bless you like he has promised to do, and you will [be able to] lend money to people of other people-groups, but you will not [need to] borrow from any of them. You will control [the finances of] many people-groups, but they will not control your [finances].
7 Ako bude u tebe koji siromah izmeðu braæe tvoje u kom mjestu tvom, u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj, nemoj da ti se stvrdne srce tvoje i da stisneš ruku svoju bratu svojemu siromahu.
“In the towns that Yahweh our God is giving to you, if there are any Israelis who are poor, do not be selfish [IDM] and refuse [IDM] to help them.
8 Nego otvori ruku svoju i pozajmi mu rado koliko mu god treba u potrebi njegovoj.
Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
9 Èuvaj se da ne bude kakvo nevaljalstvo u srcu tvom, pa da reèeš: blizu je sedma godina, godina oprosna; i da oko tvoje ne bude zlo prema bratu tvojemu siromahu, pa da mu ne daš, a on zato da vapije ka Gospodu na te, i bude ti grijeh.
Be sure that you do not say to yourself, ‘The year when debts will be canceled is near, [so I do not want to lend anyone any money now, because he will not need to pay it back when that year comes].’ It would be evil to even think that. If you act in an unfriendly way toward a needy fellow Israeli, and give him nothing, he will cry out to Yahweh about you, and [Yahweh will say that] you have sinned [by not helping that person].
10 Podaj mu, i neka ne žali srce tvoje kad mu daš; jer æe za tu stvar blagosloviti tebe Gospod Bog tvoj u svakom poslu tvom i u svemu za što se prihvatiš rukom svojom.
Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
11 Jer neæe biti bez siromaha u zemlji; zato ti zapovijedam i kažem: otvoraj ruku svoju bratu svojemu, nevoljniku i siromahu svojemu u zemlji svojoj.
If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do. There will always be some poor people in your land, so I command you to give generously to poor [DOU] people.”
12 Ako ti se proda brat tvoj Jevrejin ili Jevrejka, neka ti služi šest godina, a sedme godine otpusti ga od sebe slobodna.
“If any of your fellow Israeli men or women sell themselves to one of you [to become your slave], you must free them after they have worked for you for six years. When the seventh year comes, you must free them.
13 A kad ga otpustiš od sebe slobodna, nemoj ga otpustiti prazna.
When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
14 Daruj ga èim izmeðu stoke svoje i s gumna svojega i iz kace svoje; podaj mu èim te je blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj.
Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
15 I opominji se da si bio rob u zemlji Misirskoj i da te je izbavio Gospod Bog tvoj; zato ti ja zapovijedam ovo danas.
Do not forget that your ancestors were once slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God freed them. That is the reason that I am now commanding you to do this.
16 Ako li ti reèe: neæu da idem od tebe, zato što te ljubi i dom tvoj, jer mu je dobro kod tebe,
“But one of your slaves may say, ‘I do not want to leave you.’ He loves you and your family, because you have treated him well.
17 Tada uzmi šilo i probuši mu uho na vratima, i biæe ti sluga dovijeka; i sluškinji svojoj uèini tako.
If he says that, take him to the door of your house and, [while he stands against the doorway], pierce one of his earlobes with (an awl/a sharp pointed tool). That will indicate that he will be your slave for the rest of his life. Do the same thing to any female slave [who does not want to leave you].
18 Nemoj da ti bude teško kad ga otpuštaš od sebe slobodna, jer je dvojinom onoliko koliko najamnik zaslužio u tebe za šest godina, da bi te blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj u svemu što radiš.
“Do not complain when you are required to free your slaves. [Keep in mind that] they served you for six years, and you paid them only half as much as you pay the servants that you hire. [If you free them, ] Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
19 Sve prvence u stoci svojoj krupnoj i sitnoj što bude muško, posveti Gospodu Bogu svojemu; ne radi na prvencu od krave svoje, i ne strizi prvenca od ovaca svojih.
“(Set aside for/Dedicate to) Yahweh our God the firstborn male animals from your cattle and sheep. Do not force them to do any work for you, and do not (shear/cut off) the wool [of the firstborn animals to sell the wool].
20 Pred Gospodom Bogom svojim jedi ih ti i porodica tvoja svake godine na mjestu koje izbere Gospod.
You and your family may [kill them and] eat their meat in the presence of Yahweh at the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him].
21 Ako li na njemu bude mana, ako bude hromo ili slijepo, ili koja god zla mana bude na njemu, ne kolji ga Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
But if the animals have any defects, if they are lame or blind, or if they have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
22 U svom mjestu pojedi ga; i èist i neèist neka jede kao srnu i jelena.
You may [kill and] eat [the meat of those animals] at your homes. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done such things are permitted to eat that meat, just like anyone is permitted to eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
23 Samo krvi od njega ne jedi; prolij je na zemlju kao vodu.
But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
