第十五章 Deuteronomy 15
1.「每逢七年末一年，你要施行豁免。
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
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。
This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the LORD’s time for canceling debts has 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。
You may require payment from a foreigner, but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you.
4.5.你若留意聽從耶和華你 神的話，謹守遵行我今日所吩咐你這一切的命令，就必在你們中間沒有窮人了（在耶和華你 神所賜你為業的地上，耶和華必大大賜福與你。）
However, there need be no poor people among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you,
if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.
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，卻不致向他們借貸；你必管轄許多國民，他們卻不能管轄你。
For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.
7.「在耶和華你 神所賜你的地上，無論哪一座城裏，你弟兄中若有一個窮人，你不可忍著心、揝著手不幫補你窮乏的弟兄。
If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.
8.總要向他鬆開手，照他所缺乏的借給他，補他的不足。
Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need.
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。
Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: 「The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near,」 so that you do not show ill will toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the LORD against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
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。
Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
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。』
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.
