1 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.2 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 You may require payment from a foreigner, but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you.4 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,5 if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.6 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 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 Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need.9 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 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 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.12 If any of your people —Hebrew men or women —sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free.13 And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed.14 Supply them liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your winepress. Give to them as the LORD your God has blessed you.15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today.16 But if your servant says to you, "I do not want to leave you," because he loves you and your family and is well off with you,17 then take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your female servant.18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because their service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.19 Set apart for the LORD your God every firstborn male of your herds and flocks. Do not put the firstborn of your cows to work, and do not shear the firstborn of your sheep.20 Each year you and your family are to eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose.21 If an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.22 You are to eat it in your own towns. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it, as if it were gazelle or deer.23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.

1 في آخر سبع سنين تعمل ابراء.2 وهذا هو حكم الابراء. يبرئ كل صاحب دين يده مما اقرض صاحبه. لا يطالب صاحبه ولا اخاه لانه قد نودي بابراء للرب.3 الاجنبي تطالب واما ما كان لك عند اخيك فتبرئه يدك منه.4 الا ان لم يكن فيك فقير. لان الرب انما يباركك في الارض التي يعطيك الرب الهك نصيبا لتمتلكها.5 اذا سمعت صوت الرب الهك لتحفظ وتعمل كل هذه الوصايا التي انا اوصيك اليوم6 يباركك الرب الهك كما قال لك. فتقرض امما كثيرة وانت لا تقترض وتتسلط على امم كثيرة وهم عليك لا يتسلطون7 ان كان فيك فقير احد من اخوتك في احد ابوابك في ارضك التي يعطيك الرب الهك فلا تقسّ قلبك ولا تقبض يدك عن اخيك الفقير8 بل افتح يدك له واقرضه مقدار ما يحتاج اليه.9 احترز من ان يكون مع قلبك كلام لئيم قائلا قد قربت السنة السابعة سنة الابراء وتسوء عينك باخيك الفقير ولا تعطيه فيصرخ عليك الى الرب فتكون عليك خطية.10 اعطه ولا يسؤ قلبك عندما تعطيه لانه بسبب هذا الامر يباركك الرب الهك في كل اعمالك وجميع ما تمتد اليه يدك.11 لانه لا تفقد الفقراء من الارض. لذلك انا اوصيك قائلا افتح يدك لاخيك المسكين والفقير في ارضك12 اذا بيع لك اخوك العبراني او اختك العبرانية وخدمك ست سنين ففي السنة السابعة تطلقه حرا من عندك.13 وحين تطلقه حرا من عندك لا تطلقه فارغا.14 تزوده من غنمك ومن بيدرك ومن معصرتك. كما باركك الرب الهك تعطيه.15 واذكر انك كنت عبدا في ارض مصر ففداك الرب الهك. لذلك انا اوصيك بهذا الامر اليوم.16 ولكن اذا قال لك لا اخرج من عندك لانه قد احبك وبيتك اذ كان له خير عندك17 فخذ المخرز واجعله في اذنه وفي الباب فيكون لك عبدا مؤبدا. وهكذا تفعل لأمتك ايضا.18 لا يصعب عليك ان تطلقه حرا من عندك لانه ضعفي اجرة الاجير خدمك ست سنين. فيباركك الرب الهك في كل ما تعمل19 كل بكر ذكر يولد من بقرك ومن غنمك تقدسه للرب الهك. لا تشتغل على بكر بقرك ولا تجزّ بكر غنمك.20 امام الرب الهك تأكله سنة بسنة في المكان الذي يختاره الرب انت وبيتك.21 ولكن اذا كان فيه عيب عرج او عمى عيب ما رديء فلا تذبحه للرب الهك.22 في ابوابك تاكله. النجس والطاهر سواء كالضبي والايل.23 واما دمه فلا تأكله. على الارض تسفكه كالماء
