1매 칠년 끝에 면제하라 2면제의 규례는 이러하니라 무릇 그 이웃에게 꾸어준 채주는 그것을 면제하고 그 이웃에게나 그 형제에게 독촉하지 말지니 이 해는 여호와의 면제년이라 칭함이니라 3이방인에게는 네가 독촉하려니와 네 형제에게 꾸인 것은 네 손에서 면제하라 4네가 만일 네 하나님 여호와의 말씀만 듣고 내가 오늘날 네게 명하는 그 명령을 다 지켜 행하면 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 유업으로 주신 땅에서 네가 정녕 복을 받으리니 너희 중에 가난한 자가 없으리라 5(앞절과 동일) 6네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 허락하신 대로 네게 복을 주시리니 네가 여러 나라에 꾸어 줄지라도 너는 꾸지 아니하겠고 네가 여러 나라를 치리할지라도 너는 치리함을 받지 아니하리라 7네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 주신 땅 어느 성읍에서든지 가난한 형제가 너와 함께 거하거든 그 가난한 형제에게 네 마음을 강퍅히 하지 말며 네 손을 움켜 쥐지 말고 8반드시 네 손을 그에게 펴서 그 요구하는 대로 쓸 것을 넉넉히 꾸어주라 9삼가 너는 마음에 악념을 품지 말라 곧 이르기를 제칠년 면제년이 가까웠다 하고 네 궁핍한 형제에게 악한 눈을 들고 아무 것도 주지 아니하면 그가 너를 여호와께 호소하리니 네가 죄를 얻을 것이라 10너는 반드시 그에게 구제할 것이요 구제할 때에는 아끼는 마음을 품지 말 것이시라 이로 인하여 네 하나님 여호와께서 네 범사와 네 손으로 하는바에 네게 복을 주시리라 11땅에는 언제든지 가난한 자가 그치지 아니하겠으므로 내가 네게 명하여 이르노니 너는 반드시 네 경내 네 형제의 곤란한 자와 궁핍한 자에게 네 손을 펼지니라 12네 동족 히브리 남자나 히브리 여자가 네게 팔렸다 하자 만일 육 년을 너를 섬겼거든 제칠년에 너는 그를 놓아 자유하게 할 것이요 13그를 놓아 자유하게 할 때에는 공수로 가게 하지 말고 14네 양 무리 중에서와 타작 마당에서와 포도주 틀에서 그에게 후히 줄지니 곧 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 복을 주신 대로 그에게 줄지니라 15너는 애굽 땅에서 종 되었던 것과 네 하나님 여호와께서 너를 속하셨음을 기억하라 그를 인하여 내가 오늘날 이같이 네게 명하노라 16종이 만일 너와 네 집을 사랑하므로 너와 동거하기를 좋게 여겨 네게 향하여 내가 주인을 떠나지 아니하겠노라 하거든 17송곳을 취하여 그의 귀를 문에 대고 뚫으라 그리하면 그가 영영히 네 종이 되리라 네 여종에게도 일례로 할지니라 18그가 육 년 동안에 품군의 삯의 배나 받을 만큼 너를 섬겼은즉 너는 그를 놓아 자유하게 하기를 어렵게 여기지 말라 그리하면 네 하나님 여호와께서 너의 범사에 네게 복을 주시리라 19너는 우양의 처음 난 수컷은 구별하여 네 하나님 여호와께 드릴 것이니 네 소의 첫 새끼는 부리지 말고 네 양의 첫 새끼의 털은 깍지 말고 20너와 네 가족이 매년에 여호와의 택하신 곳 네 하나님 여호와 앞에서 먹을지니라 21그러나 그 짐승이 흠이 있어서 절거나 눈이 멀었거나 무슨 흠이 있든지 네 하나님 여호와께 잡아 드리지 못할지니 22네 성중에서 먹되 부정한 자나 정한 자가 다 같이 먹기를 노루와 사슴을 먹음 같이 할 것이요 23오직 피는 먹지 말고 물 같이 땅에 쏟을 지니라
1At the end of every seven years, you shall cancel debts. 2This is the way it shall be done: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not require payment from his neighbor and his brother; because Yahweh’s release has been proclaimed. 3Of a foreigner you may require it; but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release. 4However there shall be no poor with you (for Yahweh will surely bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it) 5if only you diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day. 6For Yahweh 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. 7If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother; 8but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks. 9Beware that there not be a base 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 Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you. 10You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to. 11For 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. 12If 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. 13When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty. 14You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press. As Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. 15You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today. 16It 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; 17then 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. 18It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for he has been double value of a hired hand as he served you six years. Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do. 19You shall dedicate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. 20You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household. 21If it has any defect, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God. 22You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer. 23Only you shall not eat its blood. You shall pour it out on the ground like water.
1Ten einde van zeven jaren zult gij een vrijlating maken. 2Dit nu is de zaak der vrijlating, dat ieder schuldheer, die zijn naaste zal geleend hebben, vrijlate; hij zal zijn naaste of zijn broeder niet manen, dewijl men den HEERE een vrijlating heeft uitgeroepen. 3Den vreemde zult gij manen; maar wat gij bij uw broeder hebt, zal uw hand vrijlaten; 4Alleenlijk, omdat er geen bedelaar onder u zal zijn; want de HEERE zal u overloediglijk zegenen in het land, dat u de HEERE, uw God, ten erve zal geven, om hetzelve erfelijk te bezitten; 5Indien gij slechts de stem des HEEREN, uws Gods, vlijtiglijk zult gehoorzamen, dat gij waarneemt te doen al deze geboden, die ik u heden gebiede. 6Want de HEERE, uw God, zal u zegenen, gelijk als Hij tot u heeft gesproken, zo zult gij aan vele volken lenen; maar gij zult niet ontlenen; en gij zult over vele volken heersen; maar over u zullen zij niet heersen. 7Wanneer er onder u een arme zal zijn, een uit uw broederen, in een uwer poorten, in uw land, dat de HEERE, uw God, u geven zal, zo zult gij uw hart niet verstijven, noch uw hand toesluiten voor uw broeder, die arm is; 8Maar gij zult hem uw hand mildelijk opendoen, en zult hem rijkelijk lenen, genoeg voor zijn gebrek, dat hem ontbreekt. 9Wacht u, dat in uw hart geen Belials-woord zij, om te zeggen: Het zevende jaar, het jaar der vrijlating, naakt; dat uw oog boos zij tegen uw broeder, die arm is, en dat gij hem niet gevet; en hij over u roepe tot den HEERE, en zonde in u zij. 10Gij zult hem mildelijk geven, en uw hart zal niet boos zijn, als gij hem geeft; want om dezer zake wil zal u de HEERE, uw God, zegenen in al uw werk, en in alles, waaraan gij uw hand slaat. 11Want de arme zal niet ophouden uit het midden des lands; daarom gebiede ik u, zeggende: Gij zult uw hand mildelijk opendoen aan uw broeder, aan uw bedrukten en aan uw armen in uw land. 12Wanneer uw broeder, een Hebreer of een Hebreinne, aan u verkocht zal zijn, zo zal hij u zes jaren dienen; maar in het zevende jaar zult gij hem vrij van u laten gaan. 13En als gij hem vrij van u gaan laat, zo zult gij hem niet ledig laten gaan: 14Gij zult hem rijkelijk opleggen van uw kudde, en van uw dorsvloer, en van uw wijnpers; waarin u de HEERE, uw God, gezegend heeft, daarvan zult gij hem geven. 15En gij zult gedenken, dat gij een dienstknecht in Egypteland geweest zijt, en dat u de HEERE, uw God, verlost heeft; daarom gebiede ik u heden deze zake. 16Maar het zal geschieden, als hij tot u zeggen zal: Ik zal niet van u uitgaan, omdat hij u en uw huis liefheeft, dewijl het hem wel bij u is; 17Zo zult gij een priem nemen, en steken in zijn oor en in de deur, en hij zal eeuwiglijk uw dienstknecht zijn; en aan uw dienstmaagd zult gij ook alzo doen. 18Het zal niet hard zijn in uw ogen, als gij hem vrij van u gaan laat; want als een dubbel-loons-dagloner heeft hij u zes jaren gediend; zo zal u de HEERE, uw God, zegenen in alles, wat gij doen zult. 19Al het eerstgeborene, dat onder uw runderen en onder uw schapen zal geboren worden, zijnde mannelijk, zult gij den HEERE, uw God, heiligen; gij zult niet arbeiden met den eerstgeborene van uw os, noch de eerstgeborene uwer schapen scheren. 20Voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, uws Gods, zult gij ze jaar op jaar eten in de plaats, die de HEERE zal verkiezen, gij en uw huis. 21Doch als enig gebrek daaraan zal zijn, hetzij mank of blind, of enig kwaad gebrek, zo zult gij het den HEERE, uw God, niet offeren; 22In uw poorten zult gij het eten; de onreine en de reine te zamen, als een ree, en als een hert, 23Zijn bloed alleen zult gij niet eten; gij zult het op de aarde uitgieten als water.
