申命記 15:7 - 10 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. Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need. 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. 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.
「在耶和華你神所賜你的地上,無論哪一座城裡,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。 總要向他鬆開手,照他所缺乏的借給他,補他的不足。 你要謹慎,不可心裡起惡念,說:『第七年的豁免年快到了』,你便惡眼看你窮乏的弟兄,什麼都不給他,以致他因你求告耶和華,罪便歸於你了。 你總要給他,給他的時候心裡不可愁煩;因耶和華你的神必在你這一切所行的,並你手裡所辦的事上,賜福與你。
申命記 15:1 - 2 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. 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.
「每逢七年末一年,你要施行豁免。 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。
出埃及記 22:25 - 27 "If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest. If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset, because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
「我民中有貧窮人與你同住,你若借錢給他,不可如放債的向他取利。 你即或拿鄰舍的衣服作當頭,必在日落以先歸還他; 因他只有這一件當蓋頭,是他蓋身的衣服,若是沒有,他拿什麼睡覺呢?他哀求我,我就應允,因為我是有恩惠的。
申命記 15:1 - 23 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. 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. You may require payment from a foreigner, but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you. 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. 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. 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. Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need. 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. 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. 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. 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. And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. Supply them liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your winepress. Give to them as the Lord your God has blessed you. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today. 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, 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. 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. 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. Each year you and your family are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose. 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. 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. But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
「每逢七年末一年,你要施行豁免。 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。 若借給外邦人,你可以向他追討;但借給你弟兄,無論是什麼,你要鬆手豁免了。 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。) 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,卻不至向他們借貸;你必管轄許多國民,他們卻不能管轄你。 「在耶和華你神所賜你的地上,無論哪一座城裡,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。 總要向他鬆開手,照他所缺乏的借給他,補他的不足。 你要謹慎,不可心裡起惡念,說:『第七年的豁免年快到了』,你便惡眼看你窮乏的弟兄,什麼都不給他,以致他因你求告耶和華,罪便歸於你了。 你總要給他,給他的時候心裡不可愁煩;因耶和華你的神必在你這一切所行的,並你手裡所辦的事上,賜福與你。 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。』」 「你弟兄中,若有一個希伯來男人或希伯來女人被賣給你,服事你六年,到第七年就要任他自由出去。 你任他自由的時候,不可使他空手而去, 要從你羊群、禾場、酒醡之中多多地給他;耶和華你的神怎樣賜福與你,你也要照樣給他。 要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕,耶和華你的神將你救贖;因此,我今日吩咐你這件事。 他若對你說:『我不願意離開你』,是因他愛你和你的家,且因在你那裡很好, 你就要拿錐子將他的耳朵在門上刺透,他便永為你的奴僕了。你待婢女也要這樣。 你任他自由的時候,不可以為難事,因他服事你六年,較比雇工的工價多加一倍了。耶和華你的神就必在你所做的一切事上賜福與你。」 「你牛群羊群中頭生的,凡是公的,都要分別為聖,歸耶和華你的神。牛群中頭生的,不可用他耕地;羊群中頭生的,不可剪毛。 這頭生的,你和你的家屬,每年要在耶和華所選擇的地方,在耶和華你神面前吃。 這頭生的若有什麼殘疾,就如瘸腿的、瞎眼的,無論有什麼惡殘疾,都不可獻給耶和華你的神; 可以在你城裡吃;潔淨人與不潔淨人都可以吃,就如吃羚羊與鹿一般。 只是不可吃他的血;要倒在地上,如同倒水一樣。」
出埃及記 22:25 "If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.
「我民中有貧窮人與你同住,你若借錢給他,不可如放債的向他取利。
利未記 25:35 " 'If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.
「你的弟兄在你那裡若漸漸貧窮,手中缺乏,你就要幫補他,使他與你同住,像外人和寄居的一樣。
利未記 25:35 - 37 " 'If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you. You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.
「你的弟兄在你那裡若漸漸貧窮,手中缺乏,你就要幫補他,使他與你同住,像外人和寄居的一樣。 不可向他取利,也不可向他多要;只要敬畏你的神,使你的弟兄與你同住。 你借錢給他,不可向他取利;借糧給他,也不可向他多要。
申命記 23:19 - 20 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
「你借給你弟兄的,或是錢財或是糧食,無論什麼可生利的物,都不可取利。 借給外邦人可以取利,只是借給你弟兄不可取利。這樣,耶和華你神必在你所去得為業的地上和你手裡所辦的一切事上賜福與你。
尼希米記 5:11 Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest you are charging them-one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil."
如今我勸你們將他們的田地、葡萄園、橄欖園、房屋,並向他們所取的銀錢、糧食、新酒,和油,百分之一的利息都歸還他們。」
詩篇 37:21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
惡人借貸而不償還;義人卻恩待人,並且施捨。
箴言 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
富戶管轄窮人;欠債的是債主的僕人。
傳道書 5:5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.
你許願不還,不如不許。
以西結書 18:13 He lends at interest and takes a profit. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.
向借錢的弟兄取利,向借糧的弟兄多要,這人豈能存活呢?他必不能存活。他行這一切可憎的事,必要死亡,他的罪(原文作血)必歸到他身上。
路加福音 6:34 - 35 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
你們若借給人,指望從他收回,有什麼可酬謝的呢?就是罪人也借給罪人,要如數收回。 你們倒要愛仇敵,也要善待他們,並要借給人不指望償還,你們的賞賜就必大了,你們也必作至高者的兒子;因為他恩待那忘恩的和作惡的。
