Deuteronomio 15
1 Al fin de cada siete años harás una remisión.
Every seven years you shall make a release.
2 Este es el modo de la remisión: Todo acreedor condonará lo que haya prestado a su prójimo. No se lo exigirá a su prójimo ni a su hermano, porque se proclama la remisión de Yavé.
And this [is] the ordinance of the release: you shall remit every private debt which your neighbor owes you, and you shall not ask payment of it from your brother; for it has been called a release to the Lord your God.
3 Al extranjero lo puedes cobrar, pero a tu hermano perdonarás todo lo que tenga de ti,
Of a stranger you shall ask again whatever he has of your, but to your brother you shall remit his debt to you.
4 para que así no haya mendigo en medio de ti. Porque Yavé te bendecirá con abundancia en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da como herencia para que la poseas,
For [thus] there shall not be a poor person in the midst of you, for the Lord your God will surely bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you by inheritance, that you should inherit it.
5 si solo escuchas atentamente la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim, para observar cuidadosamente todos estos Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy.
And if you shall indeed listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep and do all these commandments, as many as I charge you this day,
6 Porque Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendecirá como te prometió: Prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado. Dominarás a muchas naciones, pero a ti no te dominarán.
(for the Lord your God has blessed you in the way of which he spoke to you, ) then you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
7 Cuando haya en medio de ti un necesitado de alguno de tus hermanos en alguna de tus ciudades, en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da, no endurecerás tu corazón ni cerrarás tu mano a tu hermano pobre,
And if there shall be in the midst of you a poor [man] of your brethren in one of your cities in the land, which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, neither shall you by any means close up your hand from your brother who is in lack.
8 sino le abrirás tu mano liberalmente y le prestarás con generosidad suficiente para su necesidad.
You shall surely open your hands to him, and shall lend to him as much as he wants according to his need.
9 Guárdate de no tener en tu corazón alguna intención perversa, y te digas: Se acerca el año séptimo, el de la remisión, y tus ojos sean hostiles hacia tu hermano pobre y nada le des, y clame contra ti a Yavé, y resulte en ti pecado.
Take heed to yourself that there be not a secret thing in your heart, an iniquity, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, draws near; and your eye shall be evil to your brother that is in lack, and you shall not give to him, and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and there shall be great sin in you.
10 Sin falta le darás, y tu corazón no será mezquino cuando le des, porque a causa de esto, Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendecirá en todas tus obras y en todo lo que emprendas.
You shall surely give to him, and you shall lend him as much as he wants, according as he is in need; and you shall not grudge in your heart as you give to him, because on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your works, and in all things on which you shall lay your hand.
11 Porque no dejarán de estar presente los necesitados en la tierra. Por eso yo te ordeno: Abrirás con generosidad tu mano a tu hermano, al necesitado y pobre en tu tierra.
For the poor shall not fail off your land, therefore I charge you to do this thing, saying, You shall surely open your hands to your poor brother, and to him that is distressed upon your land.
12 Si tu hermano, hebreo o hebrea, se vende a ti, te servirá seis años, pero al séptimo año lo dejarás ir libre.
And if your brother [or sister], a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, be sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall send him out free from you.
13 Cuando lo dejes ir libre, no lo enviarás con las manos vacías,
And when you shall send him out free from you, you shall not send him out empty.
14 sino lo abastecerás generosamente de tu rebaño, de tu era y tu lagar. Le darás de aquello con lo cual Yavé te bendijo.
You shall give him provision for the way from your flock, and from your corn, and from your wine; as the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
15 Te acordarás que fuiste esclavo en tierra de Egipto, y que Yavé tu ʼElohim te rescató. Por eso yo te ordeno esto hoy.
And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
16 Pero si, porque te ama a ti y a tu familia, y le va bien contigo, él te dice: No te dejaré,
And if he should say to you, I will not go out from you, because he continues to love you and your house, because he is well with you;
17 entonces tomarás un punzón, horadarás su oreja contra la puerta y será tu esclavo para siempre. Del mismo modo harás con tu esclava.
then you shall take an awl, and bore his ear through to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever; and in like manner shall you do to your maidservant.
18 No te parezca duro dejarlo libre, porque por la mitad del salario de un jornalero te sirvió seis años. Así Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendecirá en todo lo que hagas.
It shall not seem hard to you when they are sent out free from you, because [your servant] has served you six years according to the annual hire of a hireling; so the Lord your God shall bless you in all things whatever you may do.
19 Consagrarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim todo primogénito macho nacido de tu manada de ganado vacuno y de tu rebaño. No te sirvas del primogénito de tu manada de ganado vacuno, ni trasquiles el primogénito de tu rebaño.
Every firstborn that shall be born among your kine and your sheep, you shall sanctify the males to the Lord your God; you shall not work with your firstborn calf, and you shall not shear the firstborn of your sheep.
20 Te los comerás delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim, de año en año, tú y tu familia, en el lugar que Yavé escoja.
You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your house.
21 Si hay en él algún defecto, si es ciego o cojo, o tiene cualquier defecto, no lo sacrificarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim.
And if there be in it a blemish, if it be lame or blind, an evil blemish, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
22 Te lo comerás en tus ciudades. Podrán comer de él tanto el impuro como el purificado, como si fuera gacela o venado.
You shall eat it in your cities; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner, as the doe or the stag.
23 Solo que no comerás su sangre. La derramarás en la tierra como agua.
Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
