Teutalonome 15

1“At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release.

1“ʻI HE ngataʻanga ʻo hono fitu ʻoe taʻu kotoa pē ke ke fai ʻae vete ange.

2And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the LORD’s release has been proclaimed.

2Pea ko hono anga ʻoe vete ange eni: Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe nō atu ha meʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi ke vete ʻe ia ia; ʻoua naʻa ʻeke ia ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pe ki hono tokoua; koeʻuhi ʻoku ui ia ko e vete ange kia Sihova.

3Of a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.

3‌ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo ʻeke ia ki he muli ka ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻau mo ho tokoua ʻe tukuange ia ʻe ho nima;

4But there will be no poor among you; for the LORD will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess—

4Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha kau masiva ʻiate kimoutolu; koeʻuhi ʻe tāpuaki lahi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu ko e tofiʻa:

5if only you will strictly obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today.

5‌ʻO kapau te ke fanongo lelei ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.

6For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

6He ʻoku tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate koe: pea te ke nō atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nō mai; pea te ke pule koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai tenau pule kiate koe.

7“If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother,

7“Kapau ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata masiva ʻi ho kāinga ʻi he ngaahi matanikolo ʻo ho fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakafefeka ho loto, pe tāpuni ho nima ki ho tokoua masiva:

8but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.

8Ka te ke mafola ke lahi ho nima kiate ia, pea ke nō atu moʻoni kiate ia ke tatau mo ʻene masiva, ʻaia ʻoku ne masiva ai.

9Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the LORD against you, and you be guilty of sin.

9Vakai telia naʻa ai ha mahalo ʻi ho loto kovi, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ofi ʻa hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ko e taʻu ʻoe vete ange: pea kovi ai ho mata ki ho tokoua masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tuku ha meʻa kiate ia; pea tangi lāunga ai ia kia Sihova ʻiate koe, pea hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.

10You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.

10Ko e moʻoni te ke foaki kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa mamahi ho loto ʻi hoʻo foaki kiate ia: he koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni ʻe tāpuaki ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mafao atu ho nima ki ai.

11For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

11Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ngata ʻae masiva mei ho fonua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke mafola ho nima ʻo lahi ki ho tokoua, ki he masiva, mo ia ʻoku tuʻutāmaki, ʻi ho fonua.

12“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

12“Pea kapau kuo fakatau kiate koe ho tokoua, ko e tangata Hepelū, pe ko e fefine Hepelū, ʻo ne tauhi koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono; ke ke toki tukuange ia ke ʻataʻatā meiate koe ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu.

13And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed.

13Pea ʻoka ke ka fekau ia ke ʻalu ʻo ʻataʻatā meiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ia ke ʻalu masiva;

14You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

14Ka te ke tuku ʻae meʻa lahi kiate ia mei hoʻo fanga manu, pea mei hoʻo hahaʻanga, pea mei hoʻo tataʻoʻanga uaine: ʻi he meʻa ʻaia kuo tāpuakiʻi ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua te ke ʻatu kiate ia.

15You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.

15Pea ke manatu ko e tangata pōpula koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻe huhuʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ai ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.

16But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you,

16Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻiate koe; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa kiate koe mo ho fale, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lelei ʻiate koe;

17then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave forever. And to your female slave you shall do the same.

17Te ke toki toʻo mai ha vili, pea tui ʻaki ia hono telinga ke maʻu ki he matapā, pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata. Pea ke fai pehē foki ki hoʻo kaunanga.

18It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for at half the cost of a hired servant he has served you six years. So the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.

18‌ʻOua naʻa matamata faingataʻa kiate koe, ʻoka ke ka tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻo ʻataʻatā meiate koe; he naʻe tatau ia kiate koe mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoku ngāue ki he totongi, ʻi heʻene tauhi koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono: pea ʻe tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai.

19“All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and flock you shall dedicate to the LORD your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

19“Ko e ʻuluaki fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi hoʻo fanga manu lalahi mo hoʻo fanga manu siʻi ke ke fakatapui kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki ʻo hoʻo fanga pulu, pea ʻoua naʻa kosi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻa hoʻo sipi.

20You shall eat it, you and your household, before the LORD your God year by year at the place that the LORD will choose.

20Ka ke kai ia, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe koe mo ho fale kotoa, ʻi he taʻu tukufakaholo kotoa pē, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova.

21But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.

21Pea kapau ʻoku ai hano mele, kapau ʻoku ketu, pe kui, pe ʻi ai ha lavea kovi, ʻoua naʻa ke feilaulau ʻaki ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

22You shall eat it within your towns. The unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as though it were a gazelle or a deer.

22Ke ke kai ia ʻi ho lotoʻā: ʻe fakatou kai ʻi ai ʻae taʻemaʻa mo e maʻa, ʻo hangē ko e ʻanitelope, mo e haʻate.

23Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.

23Kaeʻoua naʻa ke kai ʻa hono toto ka ke lilingi ia ki he kelekele ʻo hangē ko e vai.
