Ponovljeni Zakon 15

1 Svake sedme godine opraštaj.

At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.

2 A opraštanje da biva ovako: kome je ko dužan što, neka oprosti što bi mogao tražiti od bližnjega svojega; neka ne traži od bližnjega svojega i od brata svojega, jer je opraštanje Gospodnje oglašeno.

And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it; ] he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’s release.

3 Od tuðina traži, ali što bi imao u brata svojega, ono neka mu oprosti ruka tvoja,

Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again: ] but [that] which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

4 Da ne bi bilo siromaha meðu vama, jer æe te obilno blagosloviti Gospod u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj da u našljedstvo da je tvoja.

Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:

5 Samo ako dobro uzaslušaš glas Gospoda Boga svojega gledajuæi da èiniš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas,

Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

6 Blagosloviæe te Gospod Bog tvoj, kao što ti je kazao, te æeš davati u zajam mnogim narodima, a ni od koga neæeš uzimati u zajam, i vladaæeš mnogim narodima, a oni tobom neæe vladati.

For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

7 Ako bude u tebe koji siromah izmeðu braæe tvoje u kom mjestu tvom, u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj, nemoj da ti se stvrdne srce tvoje i da stisneš ruku svoju bratu svojemu siromahu.

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 Nego otvori ruku svoju i pozajmi mu rado koliko mu god treba u potrebi njegovoj.

But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.

9 Èuvaj se da ne bude kakvo nevaljalstvo u srcu tvom, pa da reèeš: blizu je sedma godina, godina oprosna; i da oko tvoje ne bude zlo prema bratu tvojemu siromahu, pa da mu ne daš, a on zato da vapije ka Gospodu na te, i bude ti grijeh.

Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Podaj mu, i neka ne žali srce tvoje kad mu daš; jer æe za tu stvar blagosloviti tebe Gospod Bog tvoj u svakom poslu tvom i u svemu za što se prihvatiš rukom svojom.

Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 Jer neæe biti bez siromaha u zemlji; zato ti zapovijedam i kažem: otvoraj ruku svoju bratu svojemu, nevoljniku i siromahu svojemu u zemlji svojoj.

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

12 Ako ti se proda brat tvoj Jevrejin ili Jevrejka, neka ti služi šest godina, a sedme godine otpusti ga od sebe slobodna.

[And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.

13 A kad ga otpustiš od sebe slobodna, nemoj ga otpustiti prazna.

And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

14 Daruj ga èim izmeðu stoke svoje i s gumna svojega i iz kace svoje; podaj mu èim te je blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj.

Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

15 I opominji se da si bio rob u zemlji Misirskoj i da te je izbavio Gospod Bog tvoj; zato ti ja zapovijedam ovo danas.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

16 Ako li ti reèe: neæu da idem od tebe, zato što te ljubi i dom tvoj, jer mu je dobro kod tebe,

And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;

17 Tada uzmi šilo i probuši mu uho na vratima, i biæe ti sluga dovijeka; i sluškinji svojoj uèini tako.

Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust [it] through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

18 Nemoj da ti bude teško kad ga otpuštaš od sebe slobodna, jer je dvojinom onoliko koliko najamnik zaslužio u tebe za šest godina, da bi te blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj u svemu što radiš.

It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

19 Sve prvence u stoci svojoj krupnoj i sitnoj što bude muško, posveti Gospodu Bogu svojemu; ne radi na prvencu od krave svoje, i ne strizi prvenca od ovaca svojih.

All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

20 Pred Gospodom Bogom svojim jedi ih ti i porodica tvoja svake godine na mjestu koje izbere Gospod.

Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.

21 Ako li na njemu bude mana, ako bude hromo ili slijepo, ili koja god zla mana bude na njemu, ne kolji ga Gospodu Bogu svojemu.

And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.

22 U svom mjestu pojedi ga; i èist i neèist neka jede kao srnu i jelena.

Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

23 Samo krvi od njega ne jedi; prolij je na zemlju kao vodu.

Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
