Deuteronomy 15

1 Every seven years you shall make a release.

Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let boš naredil odpust.

2 And this [is] the ordinance of the release: you shall remit every private debt which your neighbour 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.

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.

3 Of a stranger you shall ask again whatever he has of your, but to your brother you shall remit his debt to you.

Od tujca lahko to ponovno zahtevaš, toda kar je tvoje, s tvojim bratom, bo tvoja roka odpustila,

4 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.

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,

5 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,

samo če previdno prisluhneš glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da obeležuješ izpolnjevanje vseh teh zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal.

6 (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.

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.

7 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.

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,

8 You shall surely open your hands to him, and shall lend to him as much as he wants according to his need.

temveč mu boš na široko odprl svojo roko in zagotovo mu boš posodil dovolj za njegovo potrebo, v tem, kar mu manjka.

9 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.

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.

10 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.

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.

11 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.

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.‹

12 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.

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.

13 And when you shall send him out free from you, you shall not send him out empty.

In ko ga svobodnega pošlješ od sebe, mu ne boš pustil, da gre proč prazen.

14 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.

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.

15 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.

Spomnil se boš, da si bil suženj v egiptovski deželi in Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je odkupil, zato ti danes zapovedujem to stvar.

16 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;

Zgodilo se bo, če ti reče: ›Ne bom šel proč od tebe, ‹ ker ljubi tebe in tvojo hišo, ker mu je dobro s teboj,

17 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.

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.

18 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.

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.

19 Every firstborn that shall be born amongst 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.

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.

20 You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your house.

To boš leto za letom jedel pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ti in tvoja družina, na kraju, ki ga bo Gospod izbral.

21 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.

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.

22 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.

Jedel ga boš znotraj svojih velikih vrat. Nečista in čista oseba ga bo jedla enako kakor srnjaka in kakor jelena.

23 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

Samo njegove krvi ne boš jedel. Na tla jo boš izlil kakor vodo.
