Deuteronomy 15

1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.

Septītā gada galā tev būs turēt atlaišanu.

2 This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.

Šāda nu ir tā atlaišana, ka ikvienam aizdevējam būs atlaist, ko tas savam tuvākam aizdevis; tam nebūs spiest savu tuvāko nedz savu brāli, jo Tam Kungam atlaišana ir izsaukta.

3 A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;

No svešinieka atprasi, bet kas tev pie tava brāļa, to lai tava roka atlaiž.

4 But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage;

Lai jel nav nabagu tavā starpā; jo Tas Kungs svētīdams tevi svētīs tai zemē, ko Viņš, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos iemantot par īpašumu,

5 If only you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today.

Ja tu tikai Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi klausīsi, turēdams visus šos baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu.

6 For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers.

Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētīs, tā kā Viņš tev runājis; tad tu aizdosi daudz tautām, bet tu neaizņemsies, un tu valdīsi pār daudz tautām, bet viņām pār tevi nebūs valdīt.

7 If in any of your towns in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, there is a poor man, one of your countrymen, do not let your heart be hard or your hand shut to him;

Kad tavā starpā būs nabags, kāds no taviem brāļiem kādos vārtos tavā zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, tad tev nebūs apcietināt savu sirdi, nedz aizslēgt savu roku priekš sava nabaga brāļa;

8 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.

Bet atvērdams atver viņam savu roku un aizdodams aizdod viņam, cik viņam vajag savā trūkumā, kas trūkst.

9 And see that there is no evil thought in your heart, moving you to say to yourself, The seventh year, the year of forgiveness is near; and so looking coldly on your poor countryman you give him nothing; and he will make an outcry to the Lord against you, and it will be judged as sin in you.

Sargies, ka tavā sirdī nav blēdības, ka tu nesaki: septītais gads, tas atlaišanas gads, ir tuvu, un tava acs būtu ļauna pret savu brāli, kas nabags, un tu viņam nedod; tad viņš par tevi brēks uz To Kungu, un tas tev būs par grēku.

10 But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

Dod viņam labprāt, lai tava sirds nav ļauna, kad tu viņam dod, jo tādēļ Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētīs visā tavā darbā un pie visa, kur tu savu roku pieliksi.

11 For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land.

Jo tur nabagu netrūks tai zemē, tādēļ es tev pavēlu un saku: atvērdams atver savu roku savam brālim, kas top spaidīts un ir nabags tavā zemē.

12 If one of your countrymen, a Hebrew man or woman, becomes your servant for a price and does work for you six years, in the seventh year let him go free.

Kad tavs brālis tev būs pārdots, Ebrejs vai Ebrejiete, tad lai viņš tev kalpo sešus gadus, bet septītā gadā tev būs viņu svabadu atlaist no sevis.

13 And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:

Un kad tu viņu svabadu atlaidi, tad neatlaid viņu tukšu.

14 But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.

Apdāvinādams apdāvini to no sava ganāmā pulka, no savas klēts un no sava vīna spaida; ar ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētījis, no tā tev būs viņam dot.

15 And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today.

Un piemini, ka tu esi bijis kalps Ēģiptes zemē, un ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi atpestījis, tāpēc es tev šodien pavēlu šās lietas.

16 But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;

Bet ja viņš uz tevi sacīs: es no tevis negribu aiziet, tāpēc ka viņš tevi un tavu namu mīl, ka tam labi klājās pie tevis.

17 Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl.

Tad ņem īlenu un piedur viņa ausi pie durvīm, tad tas tev būs par kalpu mūžīgi; tāpat dari savai kalponei.

18 Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

Lai tev grūti nenākas viņu atlaist svabadu no sevis, jo sešus gadus viņš tev nokalpojis divkārtīgu algādža algu; tad tevi Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, svētīs pie visa, ko tu darīsi.

19 All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut.

Ikvienu pirmdzimto, kas dzimst no tavām govīm un avīm, to tēviņu tev būs svētīt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam; ar savas govs pirmdzimto tev nebūs strādāt, un savu avju pirmdzimto tev nebūs cirpt.

20 But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā tev un tavam namam to būs ēst ikgadus tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs.

21 But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God.

Bet ja tam kāda vaina, ka ir vai klibs vai akls, jeb ja ir cita kāda ļauna vaina, tad tev to nebūs upurēt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam.

22 It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe.

Savos vārtos to ēdat, nešķīstais un šķīstais kopā, itin kā stirnu un kā briedi.

23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

Tikai viņa asinis tev nebūs ēst, tās tev būs izliet zemē kā ūdeni.
