申15:1 “每七年的最后一年，你要施行豁免。
申15:1 At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.
申15:2 豁免的方式是这样：债主都要把借给邻舍的一切豁免了，不可向邻舍和兄弟追讨，因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了。
申15:2 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.
申15:3 如果借给外族人，你可以向他追讨，但借给你的兄弟，无论你借的是什么，你都要豁免。
申15:3 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;
申15:4 在你中间必没有穷人，因为在耶和华你的 神赐给你作产业的地上，耶和华必大大赐福给你。
申15:4 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;
申15:5 只要你留心听从耶和华你的 神的话，谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的一切诫命。
申15:5 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.
申15:6 因为耶和华你的 神，必照着他应许你的，赐福给你；你必借贷给许多国的民，却不会向他们借贷；你必统治许多国的民，他们却不会统治你。
申15:6 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.
申15:7 “但是在耶和华你的 神赐给你的地上，无论哪一座城里，在你中间如果有一个穷人，又是你的兄弟，你对这穷苦的兄弟不可硬着心肠，也不可袖手不理。
申15:7 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;
申15:8 你一定要向他伸手，照着他缺乏的借给他，补足他的缺乏。
申15:8 But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.
申15:9 你要自己谨慎，不可心里起恶念，说：‘第七年的豁免年近了’，你就冷眼对待你穷苦的兄弟，什么都不给他，以致他因你求告耶和华，你就有罪了。
申15:9 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.
申15:10 你必须给他，给他的时候，你不要心里难受，因为为了这事，耶和华你的 神必在你一切工作上，和你所办的一切事上，赐福给你。
申15:10 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.
申15:11 既然在地上必有穷人存在，所以我吩咐你说：‘你总要向你地上的困苦和贫穷的兄弟大伸援助之手。’
申15:11 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.
申15:12 “你的兄弟，无论是希伯来男人，或是希伯来女人，如果卖身给你，要服事你六年；到第七年，就要让他离开你得自由。
申15:12 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.
申15:13 你使他自由离开的时候，不可让他空手而去；
申15:13 And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:
申15:14 要从你的羊群、禾场、榨酒池中，多多地供给他；耶和华你的 神怎样赐福给你，你也要怎样分给他。
申15:14 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.
申15:15 你要记得你在埃及地作过奴仆，耶和华你的 神救赎了你；因此我今日吩咐你这件事。
申15:15 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.
申15:16 如果他对你说：‘我不愿离开你。’他说这话是因为他爱你和你的家，又因为他喜欢和你相处，
申15:16 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;
申15:17 那么，你就要拿锥子，把他的耳朵在门上刺透，他就永远作你的奴仆；对待你的婢女，你也要这样行。
申15:17 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.
申15:18 你使他自由离开你的时候，不要为难，因为他服事了你六年，应得雇工双倍的工资；这样，耶和华你的 神必在你所作的一切事上，赐福给你。
申15:18 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.
申15:19 “你的牛群羊群中所生，是头生雄性的，你都要把牠分别为圣归给耶和华你的 神。你的牛群中头生的，你不可用牠去耕田；你的羊群中头生的，你不可给牠剪毛。
申15:19 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.
申15:20 你和你的家人，年年要在耶和华选择的地方，在耶和华你的 神面前，吃这头生的牲畜。
申15:20 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.
申15:21 这头生的，如果有什么残疾，像瘸腿或是瞎眼，无论有任何严重的残疾，你都不可献给耶和华你的 神。
申15:21 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.
申15:22 你可以在家里吃，不洁净的人和洁净的人都一样可以吃，像吃羚羊和鹿一样。
申15:22 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.
申15:23 只是不可吃牠的血；要把血倒在地上，像倒水一样。”
申15:23 Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
