申命記

第15章

1 「每逢七年末一年,你要施行豁免。

2 豁免的定例乃是這樣:凡債主要把所借給鄰居的豁免了;不可向鄰居或向鄰居的兄弟[or of his brother]追討,因為耶和華的豁免年已經宣告了。

3 若借給外邦人,你可以[again]向他追討;但借給你兄弟[brother],無論是甚麼,你要鬆手豁免了。

4 你們中間必沒有窮人了,在耶和華─你神所賜你為業的地上,耶和華必大大賜福與你。

5 就是當你留意聽從耶和華─你神的話,謹守遵行我今日所吩咐你這一切的命令。

6 因為耶和華─你的神必照他所應許你的賜福與你。你必借給許多國民,卻不至向他們借貸;你必管轄許多國民,他們卻不能管轄你。

7 「在耶和華─你神所賜你的地上,無論那座城門以內[within any of thy gates],你弟兄中若有一個窮人,你不可[harden]著心、揝著手不幫補你窮乏的兄弟[brother]

8 總要向他鬆開手,照他所缺乏的借給他,補他的不足。

9 你要謹慎,不可心裏起惡念,說:『第七年的豁免年快到了』,你便惡眼看你窮乏的兄弟[brother],甚麼都不給他,以致他因你呼求[cry]耶和華,罪便歸於你了。

10 你總要給他,給他的時候心裏不可愁煩;因耶和華─你的神必在你這一切所行的,並你手裏所辦的事上,賜福與你。

11 原來那地上的窮人永不斷絕;所以我吩咐你說:『總要向你地上困苦窮乏的兄弟[brother]鬆開手。』

12 「你兄弟[brother]中,若有一個希伯來男人或希伯來女人被賣給你,服事你六年,到第七年就要任他自由出去。

13 你任他自由的時候,不可使他空手而去,

14 [Thou]要從你羊群、場上[floor]、酒醡之中多多的給他;你當以耶和華─你神所賜你的福給他[of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him]

15 要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕,耶和華─你的神將你救贖;因此,我今日吩咐你這件事。

16 他若對你說:『我不願意離開你』,是因他愛你和你的家,且因在你那裏很好,

17 你就要拿錐子將他的耳朵在門上刺透,他便永為你的僕人[servant]了。你待婢女也要這樣。

18 你任他自由的時候,不可以為難事,因他服事你六年,較比雇工的工價雙倍[double]了。耶和華─你的神就必在你所作的一切事上賜福與你。

19 「你牛群羊群中頭生的,凡是公的,都要分別為聖,歸耶和華─你的神。牛群中頭生的,不可用牠耕地;羊群中頭生的,不可剪毛。

20 這頭生的,你和你的家屬,每年要在耶和華所選擇的地方,在耶和華─你神面前吃。

21 這頭生的若有甚麼殘疾,就如瘸腿的、瞎眼的,無論有甚麼惡殘疾,[thou]都不可獻給耶和華─你的神。

22 可以在你城門[gates]裏吃;潔淨人與不潔淨人都可以吃,就如吃公獐鹿[roebuck]牡鹿[hart]一般。

23 只是[thou]不可吃牠的血;[thou]將血[it]倒在地上,如同倒水一樣。

Deuteronomy

Chapter 15

1 At the end4480 7093 of every seven7651 years8141 thou shalt make6213 a release.8059

2 And this2088 is the manner1697 of the release:8059 Every3605 creditor1167 4874 3027 that834 lendeth5383 aught unto his neighbor7453 shall release8058 it; he shall not3808 exact5065 853 it of his neighbor,7453 or of his brother;251 because3588 it is called7121 the LORD's3068 release.8059

3 Of853 a foreigner5237 thou mayest exact5065 it again: but that which834 is1961 thine with854 thy brother251 thine hand3027 shall release;8058

4 Save657 when3588 there shall be1961 no3808 poor34 among you; for3588 the LORD3068 shall greatly bless1288 1288 thee in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee for an inheritance5159 to possess3423 it:

5 Only7535 if518 thou carefully hearken8085 8085 unto the voice6963 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 to observe8104 to do6213 853 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 which834 I595 command6680 thee this day.3117

6 For3588 the LORD3068 thy God430 blesseth1288 thee, as834 he promised1696 thee: and thou shalt lend5670 unto many7227 nations,1471 but thou859 shalt not3808 borrow;5670 and thou shalt reign4910 over many7227 nations,1471 but they shall not3808 reign4910 over thee.

7 If3588 there be1961 among you a poor man34 of one4480 259 of thy brethren251 within any259 of thy gates8179 in thy land776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee, thou shalt not3808 harden553 853 thine heart,3824 nor3808 shut7092 853 thine hand3027 from thy poor34 brother:4480 251

8 But3588 thou shalt open6605 853 thine hand3027 wide6605 unto him, and shalt surely lend5670 5670 him sufficient1767 for his need,4270 in that which834 he wanteth.2637

9 Beware8104 that6435 there be1961 not a thought1697 in5973 thy wicked1100 heart,3824 saying,559 The seventh7651 year,8141 the year8141 of release,8059 is at hand;7126 and thine eye5869 be evil7489 against thy poor34 brother,251 and thou givest5414 him naught;3808 and he cry7121 unto413 the LORD3068 against5921 thee, and it be1961 sin2399 unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give5414 5414 him, and thine heart3824 shall not3808 be grieved7489 when thou givest5414 unto him: because that3588 for1558 this2088 thing1697 the LORD3068 thy God430 shall bless1288 thee in all3605 thy works,4639 and in all3605 that thou puttest4916 thine hand3027 unto.

11 For3588 the poor34 shall never3808 cease2308 out of4480 7130 the land:776 therefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt open6605 853 thine hand3027 wide6605 unto thy brother,251 to thy poor,6041 and to thy needy,34 in thy land.776

12 And if3588 thy brother,251 a Hebrew man,5680 or176 a Hebrew woman,5680 be sold4376 unto thee, and serve5647 thee six8337 years;8141 then in the seventh7637 year8141 thou shalt let him go7971 free2670 from4480 5973 thee.

13 And when3588 thou sendest him out7971 free2670 from4480 5973 thee, thou shalt not3808 let him go away7971 empty: 7387

14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally6059 6059 out of thy flock,4480 6629 and out of thy floor,4480 1637 and out of thy winepress:4480 3342 of that wherewith834 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath blessed1288 thee thou shalt give5414 unto him.

15 And thou shalt remember2142 that3588 thou wast1961 a bondman5650 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and the LORD3068 thy God430 redeemed6299 thee: therefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee853 this2088 thing1697 today.3117

16 And it shall be,1961 if3588 he say559 unto413 thee, I will not3808 go away3318 from4480 5973 thee; because3588 he loveth157 thee and thine house,1004 because3588 he is well2896 with5973 thee;

17 Then thou shalt take3947 853 an awl,4836 and thrust5414 it through his ear241 unto the door,1817 and he shall be1961 thy servant5650 forever.5769 And also637 unto thy maidservant519 thou shalt do6213 likewise.3651

18 It shall not3808 seem hard unto thee,7185 5869 when thou sendest him away7971 853 free2670 from4480 5973 thee; for3588 he hath been worth7939 a double4932 hired servant7916 to thee, in serving5647 thee six8337 years:8141 and the LORD3068 thy God430 shall bless1288 thee in all3605 that834 thou doest.6213

19 All3605 the firstling1060 males2145 that834 come3205 of thy herd1241 and of thy flock6629 thou shalt sanctify6942 unto the LORD3068 thy God:430 thou shalt do no3808 work5647 with the firstling1060 of thy bullock,7794 nor3808 shear1494 the firstling1060 of thy sheep.6629

20 Thou shalt eat398 it before6440 the LORD3068 thy God430 year8141 by year8141 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose,977 thou859 and thy household.1004

21 And if3588 there be1961 any blemish3971 therein, as if it be lame,6455 or176 blind,5787 or have any3605 ill7451 blemish,3971 thou shalt not3808 sacrifice2076 it unto the LORD3068 thy God.430

22 Thou shalt eat398 it within thy gates:8179 the unclean2931 and the clean2889 person shall eat it alike,3162 as the roebuck,6643 and as the hart.354

23 Only7535 thou shalt not3808 eat398 853 the blood1818 thereof; thou shalt pour8210 it upon5921 the ground776 as water.4325
