Deuteronomio 15
1 Al cabo de los siete años harás remisión.
At the end of every seven years, you shall cancel debts.
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.
This is the way it shall be done: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbour. He shall not require payment from his neighbour and his brother, because the LORD’s release has been proclaimed.
3 Del extranjero tornarás a demandar: mas lo que tuviere tuyo tu hermano, soltarlo ha tu mano.
Of a foreigner you may require it; but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release.
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:
However there will be no poor with you (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess)
5 Si empero oyendo oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para que guardes y hagas todos estos mandamientos, que yo te mando hoy:
if only you diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.
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 will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will 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;
If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
8 Mas abriendo abrirás a él tu mano, y emprestando le emprestarás asaz lo que hubiere menester.
but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
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.
Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to 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, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
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 will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in 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.
If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 Y cuando le enviares de ti libre, no le enviarás vacío:
When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go 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 furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press. 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.
You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today.
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;
It shall be, if he tells you, “I will not go out from you,” because he loves 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 thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
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 you let him go free from you, for he has been double the value of a hired hand as he served you six years. The LORD your God will bless you in all that you 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.
You shall dedicate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock to the LORD your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
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 your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
21 Y si hubiere en él falta, ciego, o cojo, o cualquiera otra mala falta, no lo sacrificarás a Jehová tu Dios.
If it has any defect—is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, 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 within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle and as the deer.
23 Solamente que no comas su sangre: sobre la tierra derramarás como agua.
Only you shall not eat its blood. You shall pour it out on the ground like water.
