15:1
|
「每逢七年末一年,你要施行豁免。
|
|
At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
|
15:2
|
豁免的定例乃是这样:凡债主要把所借给邻舍的豁免了;不可向邻舍和弟兄追讨,因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了。
|
|
And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Jehovah`s release hath been proclaimed.
|
15:3
|
若借给外邦人,你可以向他追讨;但借给你弟兄,无论是什么,你要松手豁免了。
|
|
Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it: but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release.
|
15:4
|
|
|
Howbeit there shall be no poor with thee; (for Jehovah will surely bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it;)
|
15:5
|
你若留意听从耶和华你神的话,谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你这一切的命令,就必在你们中间没有穷人了(在耶和华你神所赐你为业的地上,耶和华必大大赐福与你。)
|
|
if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
|
15:6
|
因为耶和华你的神必照他所应许你的赐福与你。你必借给许多国民,却不至向他们借贷;你必管辖许多国民,他们却不能管辖你。
|
|
For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
|
15:7
|
「在耶和华你神所赐你的地上,无论哪一座城里,你弟兄中若有一个穷人,你不可忍着心、揝着手不帮补你穷乏的弟兄。
|
|
If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother;
|
15:8
|
总要向他松开手,照他所缺乏的借给他,补他的不足。
|
|
but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wanteth.
|
15:9
|
你要谨慎,不可心里起恶念,说:『第七年的豁免年快到了』,你便恶眼看你穷乏的弟兄,什么都不给他,以致他因你求告耶和华,罪便归于你了。
|
|
Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
|
15:10
|
你总要给他,给他的时候心里不可愁烦;因耶和华你的神必在你这一切所行的,并你手里所办的事上,赐福与你。
|
|
Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
|
15:11
|
原来那地上的穷人永不断绝;所以我吩咐你说:『总要向你地上困苦穷乏的弟兄松开手。』」
|
|
For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.
|
15:12
|
「你弟兄中,若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人被卖给你,服事你六年,到第七年就要任他自由出去。
|
|
If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
|
15:13
|
你任他自由的时候,不可使他空手而去,
|
|
And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty:
|
15:14
|
要从你羊群、禾场、酒醡之中多多地给他;耶和华你的神怎样赐福与你,你也要照样给他。
|
|
thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
|
15:15
|
要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆,耶和华你的神将你救赎;因此,我今日吩咐你这件事。
|
|
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to-day.
|
15:16
|
他若对你说:『我不愿意离开你』,是因他爱你和你的家,且因在你那里很好,
|
|
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go out from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee;
|
15:17
|
你就要拿锥子将他的耳朵在门上刺透,他便永为你的奴仆了。你待婢女也要这样。
|
|
then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise.
|
15:18
|
你任他自由的时候,不可以为难事,因他服事你六年,较比雇工的工价多加一倍了。耶和华你的神就必在你所做的一切事上赐福与你。」
|
|
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years: and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.
|
15:19
|
「你牛群羊群中头生的,凡是公的,都要分别为圣,归耶和华你的神。牛群中头生的,不可用他耕地;羊群中头生的,不可剪毛。
|
|
All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.
|
15:20
|
这头生的,你和你的家属,每年要在耶和华所选择的地方,在耶和华你神面前吃。
|
|
Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, thou and thy household.
|
15:21
|
这头生的若有什么残疾,就如瘸腿的、瞎眼的,无论有什么恶残疾,都不可献给耶和华你的神;
|
|
And if it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Jehovah thy God.
|
15:22
|
可以在你城里吃;洁净人与不洁净人都可以吃,就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。
|
|
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
|
15:23
|
只是不可吃他的血;要倒在地上,如同倒水一样。」
|
|
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water.
