Deuteronomio 15
1 Al cabo de los siete años harás remisión.
“At the end of seven years you make a release,
2 Y esta es la manera de la remisión: Dejará a su deudor todo aquel que emprestó de su mano, con que adeudó a su prójimo: no lo tornará a demandar a su prójimo, o a su hermano; porque la remisión de Jehová es pregonada.
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 Del extranjero tornarás a demandar: mas lo que tuviere tuyo tu hermano, soltarlo ha tu mano.
of the stranger you may exact, but that which is yours with your brother your hand releases,
4 Solamente porque no haya en ti mendigo: porque bendiciendo te bendecirá Jehová en la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad para que la poseas:
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 Si empero oyendo oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para que guardes y hagas todos estos mandamientos, que yo te mando hoy:
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 Porque Jehová tu Dios te bendijo, como te había dicho: y emprestarás a muchas gentes, mas tú no tomarás emprestado: y enseñorearte has de muchas gentes, y de ti no se enseñorearán.
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 Cuando hubiere en ti mendigo de tus hermanos en alguna de tus ciudades, en tu tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, no endurecerás tu corazón, ni cerrarás tu mano a tu hermano mendigo;
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 Mas abriendo abrirás a él tu mano, y emprestando le emprestarás asaz lo que hubiere menester.
for you certainly open your hand to him, and certainly lend him sufficiency for his lack which he lacks.
9 Guárdate que no haya en tu corazón perverso pensamiento, diciendo: Cerca está el año séptimo de la remisión: y tu ojo sea maligno sobre tu hermano menesteroso para no darle: que él clamará contra ti a Jehová y serte ha por pecado.
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 Dando le darás, y tu corazón no sea maligno cuando le dieres, que por esto te bendecirá Jehová tu Dios en todos tus hechos y en todo lo que pusieres mano.
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 Porque no faltarán menesterosos de en medio de la tierra, por tanto yo te mando, diciendo: Abrirás tu mano a tu hermano, a tu pobre, y a tu menesteroso en tu tierra.
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 Cuando se vendiere a ti tu hermano Hebreo o Hebrea, y te hubiere servido seis años, al séptimo año le enviarás de ti libre.
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 Y cuando le enviares de ti libre, no le enviarás vacío:
And when you send him away free from you, you do not send him away empty;
14 Cargando le cargarás, de tus ovejas, y de tu era, y de tu lagar: en lo que te hubiere bendecido Jehová de ello le darás.
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 Y acordarte has, que fuiste siervo en tierra de Egipto, y que Jehová tu Dios te rescató: por tanto yo te mando hoy esto.
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 Y será, que si él te dijere: No saldré de contigo: porque te amó a ti y a tu casa, que le va bien contigo;
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 Entonces tomarás una lesna, y darás en su oreja y en la puerta; y serte ha siervo para siempre: así también harás a tu criada.
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 No te parezca duro, cuando le enviares libre de ti, que doblado del salario de mozo de soldada te sirvió seis años: y Jehová tu Dios te bendecirá en todo cuanto hicieres.
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 Todo primogénito que nacerá en tus vacas y en tus ovejas, el macho santificarás a Jehová tu Dios: no te sirvas del primogénito de tus vacas, ni trasquiles el primogénito de tus ovejas.
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 Delante de Jehová tu Dios los comerás cada un año en el lugar que Jehová escogiere, tú y tu casa.
you eat it before your God YHWH year by year, in the place which YHWH chooses, you and your house.
21 Y si hubiere en él falta, ciego, o cojo, o cualquiera otra mala falta, no lo sacrificarás a Jehová tu Dios.
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 En tus villas lo comerás, inmundo y limpio también comerán de él como de un corzo, o de un ciervo.
you eat it within your gates, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe and as the deer.
23 Solamente que no comas su sangre: sobre la tierra derramarás como agua.
Only, you do not eat its blood—you pour it on the earth as water.”
