¹At the end of seven years thou shalt make a release,

¹[Ny amin'ny taom-panafahana] Ary isam-pito taona dia manaova fanafahana ianao.

²and this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall relax his hand from the loan which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not demand it of his neighbour, or of his brother; for a release to Jehovah hath been proclaimed.

²Ary izao no ho fomban'ny fanafahana: Ny tompon-trosa rehetra izay nampanàna vola tamin'ny namany dia hamoy izany; tsy hanery ny namany izay rahalahiny handoa izy, satria efa voantso ny fanafahan'i Jehovah.

³Of the foreigner thou mayest demand it; but what is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release;

³Ny olona hafa firenena ihany no azonao terena handoa; fa izay anao amin'ny rahalahinao kosa dia hafoinao;

⁴save when there shall be no one in need among you; for Jehovah will greatly bless thee in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,

⁴kanefa tsy dia hisy olo-malahelo eo aminao, fa hitahy anao tokoa Jehovah eo amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao,

⁵if thou only diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.

⁵raha mihaino tsara ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka mitandrina hanaraka izao lalàna rehetra izao, izay andidiako anao anio.

⁶For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee; and thou shalt lend on pledge to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.

⁶Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao hitahy anao araka izay nolazainy taminao; ary hampisambotra ny firenena maro ianao, fa ianao kosa tsy hisambotra; ary hanapaka firenena maro ianao, fa izy kosa tsy mba hanapaka anao.

⁷If there be amongst you a poor man, any one of thy brethren in one of thy gates, in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy brother in need;

⁷Raha misy malahelo ny rahalahinao ao an-tanànanao anankiray amin'ny taninao izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, dia aza manamafy ny fonao, na manakombona ny tananao, amin'ny rahalahinao malahelo;

⁸but thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto him, and shalt certainly lend him on pledge what is sufficient for his need, [in that] which he lacketh.

⁸fa sokafy tsara aminy ny tananao, ka ampisambory izay ilainy, araka izay mahory azy.

⁹Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin in thee.

⁹Mitandrema fandrao hisy hevi-dratsy ao am-ponao manao hoe: Antomotra ny taona fahafito, dia ny taom-panafahana; ary ho ratsy fijery ny rahalahinao malahelo ianao, ka tsy hanome azy akory ianao; ary hitaraina amin'i Jehovah hiampanga anao Izy, ka dia ho fahotanao izany.

¹⁰Thou shalt bountifully give unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil-disposed when thou givest unto him; because for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the business of thy hand.

¹⁰Omeo tokoa izy, ary aoka tsy halahelo ny fonao raha manome azy, satria izany zavatra izany no hitahian'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao amin'ny asanao rehetra sy amin'izay rehetra ataon'ny tananao.

¹¹For the needy shall never cease from within the land; therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto thy brother, to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land.

¹¹Fa ny tany tsy ilaozan'olo-malahelo, koa izany no andidiako anao hoe: Sokafy tsara amin'ny rahalahinao ny tananao, dia amin'ny malahelo sy ny mahantra eo amin'ny taninao.

¹²If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, have been sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years, and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.

¹²Raha hamidy aminao ny namanao, na lehilahy Hebreo, na vehivavy Hebreo, ka efa nanompo anao enin-taona, dia hovotsoranao ho afaka izy amin'ny taona fahafito.

¹³And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty;

¹³Ary raha hovotsoranao ho afaka izy, dia tsy havelanao handeha fotsiny;

¹⁴thou shalt certainly furnish him from thy sheep, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of what Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee with shalt thou give unto him.

¹⁴fa hisy hampitondrainao azy avy amin'ny ondry aman'osinao ary avy amin'ny famoloanao sy ny famiazanao: araka izay efa nitahian'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao no hanomezanao azy.

¹⁵And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee; therefore I command thee this thing to-day.

¹⁵Ary tsarovy fa andevo tany amin'ny tany Egypta ianao, nefa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa nanavotra anao, koa izany no andidiako anao izao zavatra izao anio.

¹⁶And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, -- because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee, --

¹⁶Kanefa raha hoy izy aminao: Tsy hiala aminao aho, satria tsy foiny ianao sy ny ankohonanao, ka finaritra aminao izy,

¹⁷then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door; and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy handmaid thou shalt do likewise.

¹⁷dia halainao ny haolo ka hotevehinao amin'ny varavarana ny sofiny, dia ho mpanomponao mandrakizay izy. Ary toy izany koa no hataonao amin'ny ankizivavinao.

¹⁸Let it not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for double the worth of a hired servant hath he been to thee, [in] serving thee six years; and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.

¹⁸Aza ataonao ho sarotra ny hamotsotra azy ho afaka, fa indroa toraka ny karaman'ny mpikarama no azonao tamin'ny nanompoany anao enin-taona; dia hitahy anao Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin'izay rehetra ataonao.

¹⁹Every firstling that is born among thy kine and among thy sheep that is a male, thou shalt hallow to Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy kine, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

¹⁹[Ny ho fanao amin'ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy] Ny lahy rehetra amin'ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman'osinao dia hohamasininao ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; aza mampiasa ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinao, na manety ny voalohan-teraky ny ondry aman'osinao.

²⁰Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God, year by year, in the place which Jehovah will choose, thou and thy household.

²⁰Eo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hihinananao sy ny ankohonanao azy isan-taona isan-taona eo amin'ny fitoerana izay hofidin'i Jehovah.

²¹But if there be a defect therein, [if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any evil defect, thou shalt not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God.

²¹Fa raha misy kilemany izy: na mandringa, na jamba, na izay kilema ratsy hafa akory, dia aza vonoinao hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ireny.

²²In thy gates shalt thou eat it; the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle and as the hart.

²²Ao an-tanànanao ihany no hihinananao ireny; na ny olona maloto na ny madio dia samy mahazo mihinana azy, tahaka ny ahazoany mihinana ny gazela sy ny diera.Kanefa ny ràny no aza hanina, fa aidino amin'ny tany toy ny rano.

²³Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof: thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

²³Kanefa ny ràny no aza hanina, fa aidino amin'ny tany toy ny rano.
