Deuteronomy 15 Free Bible Version

1 You are to cancel debts at the end of every seven years.
1 AL cabo de siete años harás remisión.
2 This is the way it will work: If you provided a loan to someone you must cancel it. You are not allowed to collect anything from another Israelite, because the Lord's time of debt cancelation has been announced.
2 Y esta es la manera de la remisión: perdonará á su deudor todo aquél que hizo empréstito de su mano, con que obligó á su prójimo: no lo demandará más á su prójimo, ó á su hermano; porque la remisión de Jehová es pregonada.
3 You are allowed to collect payments from a foreigner, but you must cancel whatever your fellow Israelite owes you.
3 Del extranjero demandarás el [reintegro]: mas lo que tu hermano tuviere tuyo, lo perdonará tu mano;
4 However, you shouldn't have poor people among you, for the Lord will really bless you in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
4 Para que así no haya en ti mendigo; porque Jehová te bendecirá con abundancia en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad para que la poseas,
5 You just need to make sure you obey the Lord your God, and that you're careful to follow all these commandments I'm giving you today.
5 Si empero escuchares fielmente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar y cumplir todos estos mandamientos que yo te intimo hoy.
6 The Lord your God is going to bless you as he promised. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them; you will rule over many nations but you won't be ruled by them.
6 Ya que Jehová tu Dios te habrá bendecido, como te ha dicho, prestarás entonces á muchas gentes, mas tú no tomarás prestado; y enseñorearte has de muchas gentes, pero de ti no se enseñorearán.
7 If there are Israelites who are poor in any of your towns in the country the Lord your God is giving you, don't act in an unfeeling or miserly way towards them.
7 Cuando hubiere en ti menesteroso de alguno de tus hermanos en alguna de tus ciudades, en tu tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, no endurecerás tu corazón, ni cerrarás tu mano á tu hermano pobre:
8 On the contrary. You are to be generous to them, and lend them whatever they need.
8 Mas abrirás á él tu mano liberalmente, y en efecto le prestarás lo que basta, lo que hubiere menester.
9 Make sure you don't think evil thoughts like, “The seventh year is coming up when debts will be canceled,” so that you look down on the poor with a sneer and refuse to give them anything. They will complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
9 Guárdate que no haya en tu corazón perverso pensamiento, diciendo: Cerca está el año séptimo, el de la remisión; y tu ojo sea maligno sobre tu hermano menesteroso para no darle: que él podrá clamar contra ti á Jehová, y se te imputará á pecado.
10 Give and give again to them, and don't feel irritated when you give. When you give generously the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you decide to do.
10 Sin falta le darás, y no sea tu corazón maligno cuando le dieres: que por ello te bendecirá Jehová tu Dios en todos tus hechos, y en todo lo que pusieres mano.
11 You will always have those who are poor and in need among you, so that's why I'm telling you to give generously to them.
11 Porque no faltarán menesterosos de en medio de la tierra; por eso yo te mando, diciendo: Abrirás tu mano á tu hermano, á tu pobre, y á tu menesteroso en tu tierra.
12 If a Hebrew, one of your own people, whether man or woman, sells themselves to you as a slave and works for you for six years, you have to free them in the seventh year.
12 Cuando se vendiere á ti tu hermano Hebreo ó Hebrea, y te hubiere servido seis años, al séptimo año le despedirás libre de ti.
13 And when you free them, don't send them away with nothing.
13 Y cuando lo despidieres libre de ti, no lo enviarás vacío:
14 Give them plenty of gifts: animals from your flocks, grain from your threshing floor, and wine from your winepress. Give to them as generously as the Lord your God has blessed you.
14 Le abastecerás liberalmente de tus ovejas, de tu era, y de tu lagar; le darás [de] aquello en que Jehová te hubiere bendecido.
15 Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. That's why I'm giving you this command today.
15 Y te acordarás que fuiste siervo en la tierra de Egipto, y que Jehová tu Dios te rescató: por tanto yo te mando esto hoy.
16 However, if your male slave tells you, “I don't want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is better off staying with you,
16 Y será que, si él te dijere: No saldré de contigo; porque te ama á ti y á tu casa, que le va bien contigo;
17 then use a metal tool to pierce his ear against the door, and he will be your slave for life. Do the same for your female slave.
17 Entonces tomarás una lesna, y horadarás su oreja junto á la puerta, y será tu siervo para siempre: así también harás á tu criada.
18 Don't see it as a problem to free your slave, because your slave's six years of service to you was worth twice what you would have paid to hire someone. The Lord your God will bless you in everything you do for acting in this way.
18 No te parezca duro cuando le enviares libre de ti; que doblado del salario de mozo jornalero te sirvió seis años: y Jehová tu Dios te bendecirá en todo cuanto hicieres.
19 You are to separate out to give the Lord your God all the firstborn males of your herds and flocks. You must not have the firstborn of your cattle work, and don't shear the firstborn of your sheep.
19 Santificarás á Jehová tu Dios todo primerizo macho que nacerá de tus vacas y de tus ovejas: no te sirvas del primerizo de tus vacas, ni trasquiles el primerizo de tus ovejas.
20 Every year you and your family are to eat these animals that have been sacrificed in the presence of the Lord your God in the place that the Lord will choose.
20 Delante de Jehová tu Dios los comerás cada un año, tú y tu familia, en el lugar que Jehová escogiere.
21 However, if an animal has some defect or is lame or blind, in fact if it has any serious defect at all, you are not to sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
21 Y si hubiere en él tacha, ciego ó cojo, ó cualquiera mala falta, no lo sacrificarás á Jehová tu Dios.
22 Eat it at home. All of you, whether you're ceremonially clean or not, can eat it just like you would eat a gazelle or a deer,
22 En tus poblaciones lo comerás: el inmundo lo mismo que el limpio [comerán de él], como de un corzo ó de un ciervo.
23 but you are not to eat the blood—pour that out on the ground.
23 Solamente que no comas su sangre: sobre la tierra la derramarás como agua.
