Deuteronomio 15
1 Al cabo de los siete años harás remisión.
Every seven years you shall 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 ordinance of the release: you shall remit every private debt which your neighbor 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.
3 Del extranjero tornarás a demandar: mas lo que tuviere tuyo tu hermano, soltarlo ha tu mano.
Of a stranger you shall ask again whatever he has of your, but to your brother you shall remit his debt to you.
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:
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.
5 Si empero oyendo oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para que guardes y hagas todos estos mandamientos, que yo te mando hoy:
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,
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 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.
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;
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.
8 Mas abriendo abrirás a él tu mano, y emprestando le emprestarás asaz lo que hubiere menester.
You shall surely open your hands to him, and shall lend to him as much as he wants according to his need.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 Y cuando le enviares de ti libre, no le enviarás vacío:
And when you shall send him out free from you, you shall not send him out 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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 firstborn that shall be born among 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.
20 Delante de Jehová tu Dios los comerás cada un año en el lugar que Jehová escogiere, tú y tu casa.
You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, 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 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.
22 En tus villas lo comerás, inmundo y limpio también comerán de él como de un corzo, o de un ciervo.
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.
23 Solamente que no comas su sangre: sobre la tierra derramarás como agua.
Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
