5 Mojzes 15
1 Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let boš naredil odpust.
“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 To je način odpusta. Vsak upnik, ki posoja, mora svojemu bližnjemu to odpustiti. Tega ne bo terjal od svojega bližnjega ali od svojega brata, ker je to imenovano Gospodov odpust.
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 tujca lahko to ponovno zahtevaš, toda kar je tvoje, s tvojim bratom, bo tvoja roka odpustila,
[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 razen ko med vami ne bo nobenega revnega, kajti Gospod te bo silno blagoslovil v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, za dediščino, da jo vzameš v last,
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 če previdno prisluhneš glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da obeležuješ izpolnjevanje vseh teh zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal.
6 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te blagoslavlja, kakor ti je obljubil in posojal boš mnogim narodom, toda ti si ne boš izposojal in kraljeval boš nad mnogimi narodi, toda oni ne bodo kraljevali nad teboj.
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 Če je med vami revež enega izmed tvojih bratov znotraj katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, v tvoji deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, ne boš zakrknil svojega srca niti svoje roke zaprl pred svojim revnim bratom,
“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 temveč mu boš na široko odprl svojo roko in zagotovo mu boš posodil dovolj za njegovo potrebo, v tem, kar mu manjka.
Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
9 Pazi se, da ne bi bilo misli v tvojem zlobnem srcu, rekoč: ›Sedmo leto, leto odpusta, se približuje‹ in je tvoje oko zlobno zoper tvojega revnega brata in mu ničesar ne daš in on zoper tebe kliče h Gospodu in to ti bo greh.
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 Zagotovo mu boš dal in tvoje srce ne bo užaloščeno, ko mu daješ, zato ker te bo za to stvar Gospod, tvoj Bog, blagoslovil v vseh tvojih delih in v vsem, k čemur boš položil svojo roko.
Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
11 Kajti revni ne bo nikoli izginil iz dežele. Zatorej ti zapovedujem, rekoč: ›Svojo roko boš na široko odprl svojem bratu, svojemu revnemu in svojemu pomoči potrebnemu v svoji deželi.‹
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 In če ti bo prodan tvoj brat, Hebrejec ali Hebrejka in ti služi šest let, ga boš potem v sedmem letu od sebe pustil svobodnega.
“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 In ko ga svobodnega pošlješ od sebe, mu ne boš pustil, da gre proč prazen.
When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
14 Velikodušno ga boš opremil iz svojega tropa in iz svojega mlatišča in iz svoje vinske stiskalnice. Dal mu boš od tega, s čimer te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, blagoslovil.
Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
15 Spomnil se boš, da si bil suženj v egiptovski deželi in Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je odkupil, zato ti danes zapovedujem to stvar.
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 Zgodilo se bo, če ti reče: ›Ne bom šel proč od tebe, ‹ ker ljubi tebe in tvojo hišo, ker mu je dobro s teboj,
“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 potem boš vzel šilo in ga na vratih prebodel skozi njegovo uho in on bo tvoj služabnik na veke. In prav tako boš podobno storil svoji dekli.
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 Ne bo se ti zdelo težko, ko ga svobodnega pošlješ proč od sebe, kajti vreden ti je bil dvojnega najetega služabnika, v tem, ko ti je služil šest let in Gospod, tvoj Bog, te bo blagoslovil v vsem, kar delaš.
“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 Vse prvence, ki pridejo iz tvoje črede in iz tvojega tropa, boš posvetil Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Nobenega dela ne boš opravljal s prvencem svojega bikca niti strigel prvenca svoje ovce.
“(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 To boš leto za letom jedel pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ti in tvoja družina, na kraju, ki ga bo Gospod izbral.
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 In če je na njem kakršnakoli pomanjkljivost kakor, če je hrom ali slep ali ima kakršnokoli bolezensko pomanjkljivost, ga ne boš žrtvoval Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
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 Jedel ga boš znotraj svojih velikih vrat. Nečista in čista oseba ga bo jedla enako kakor srnjaka in kakor 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 njegove krvi ne boš jedel. Na tla jo boš izlil kakor vodo.
But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
