申命記 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1「每逢七年末一年，你要施行豁免。
1At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
2豁免的定例乃是這樣：凡債主要把所借給鄰舍的豁免了；不可向鄰舍和弟兄追討，因為耶和華的豁免 年 已經宣告了。
2And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the LORD'S release hath been proclaimed.
3若借給外邦人，你可以向他追討；但借給你弟兄，無論是甚麼，你要鬆手豁免了。
3Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it; but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release.
4你若留意聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，謹守遵行我今日所吩咐你這一切的命令，就必在你們中間沒有窮人了（在耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業的地上，耶和華必大大賜福與你。）
4Howbeit there shall be no needy among you — for the LORD will surely bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it —
no verse 5 in this text
5if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
6因為耶和華－你的上帝必照他所應許你的賜福與你。你必借給許多國民，卻不致向 他們 借貸；你必管轄許多國民，他們卻不能管轄你。
6For the LORD thy God will bless thee, as He promised thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
7「在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上，無論哪一座城裏，你弟兄中若有一個窮人，你不可忍着心、揝着手不幫補你窮乏的弟兄。
7If there be among you a needy man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates, in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
8總要向他鬆開手，照他所缺乏的借給他，補他的不足。
8but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.
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弟兄，甚麼都不給他，以致他因你求告耶和華，罪便歸於你了。
9Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying: 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand'; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin in thee.
10你總要給他，給他的時候心裏不可愁煩；因耶和華－你的上帝必在你這一切所行的，並你手裏所辦的事上，賜福與你。
10Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the LORD thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
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弟兄鬆開手。』」
11For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee, saying: 'Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy poor and needy brother, in thy land.'
12「你弟兄中，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。
12If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years; and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
13你任他自由的時候，不可使他空手而去，
13And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty;
14要從你羊群、禾場、酒醡之中多多地給他；耶和華－你的上帝怎樣賜福與你，你也要照樣給他。
14thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; 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－你的上帝將你救贖；因此，我今日吩咐你這件事。
15And 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，
16And it shall be, if he say unto thee: 'I will not go out from thee'; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he fareth well with thee;
17你就要拿錐子將他的耳朵在門上刺透，他便永為你的奴僕了。你待婢女也要這樣。
17then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door, and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy bondwoman thou shalt do likewise.
18你任他自由的時候，不可以為難事，因他服事你六年，較比雇工的工價多加一倍了。耶和華－你的上帝就必在你所做的一切事上賜福與你。」
18It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years; and the LORD thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.
19「你牛群羊群中頭生的，凡是公的，都要分別為聖，歸耶和華－你的上帝。牛群中頭生的，不可用牠耕地；羊群中頭生的，不可剪毛。
19All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.
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－你上帝面前吃。
20Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
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，都不可獻給耶和華－你的上帝；
21And if there be any blemish therein, lameness, or blindness, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
22可以在你城裏吃；潔淨人與不潔淨人都 可以吃 ，就如吃羚羊與鹿一般。
22Thou shalt eat it within thy gates; the unclean and the clean may eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
23只是不可吃牠的血；要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。」
23Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water.
