Deuteronomy 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 “In the seventh year, you shall perform a remission,	1 Εν τω τελει του εβδομου ετους θελεις καμνει αφεσιν.
2 which shall be celebrated according to this order. Anyone to whom anything is owed, by his friend or neighbor or brother, will not be able to request its return, because it is the year of remission of the Lord.	2 Και ουτος ειναι ο νομος της αφεσεως? πας δανειστης, οστις εδανεισε τι εις τον πλησιον αυτου, θελει αφησει αυτο? δεν θελει απαιτει αυτο απο τον πλησιον αυτου η απο τον αδελφον αυτου? διοτι τουτο ονομαζεται αφεσις του Κυριου.
3 From the sojourner and the new arrival, you may require its return. From your fellow countryman and neighbor, you will not have the power to request its return.	3 Απο του ξενου δυνασαι να απαιτησης αυτο? ο, τι ομως ο αδελφος σου εχει εκ των ιδικων σου, η χειρ σου θελει αφινει αυτο?
4 And there shall not be anyone indigent or begging among you, so that the Lord your God may bless you in the land which he will deliver to you as a possession.	4 δια να μη υπαρχη πτωχος μεταξυ σας? διοτι ο Κυριος θελει σε ευλογησει μεγαλως εν τη γη, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν, δια να εξουσιασης αυτην?
5 But only if you heed the voice of the Lord your God, and keep to all that he has ordered, that which I am entrusting to you this day, will he bless you, just as he has promised.	5 αν μονον επιμελως ακουης την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου σου, δια να προσεχης να καμνης πασας τας εντολας ταυτας, τας οποιας εγω σε προσταζω σημερον.
6 You shall lend money to many nations, and you yourselves shall borrow in return from no one. You shall rule over very many nations, and no one shall rule over you.	6 διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει σε ευλογησει, καθως υπεσχεθη εις σε? και θελεις δανειζει εις πολλα εθνη, συ ομως δεν θελεις δανειζεσθαι και θελεις βασιλευει επι πολλα εθνη, επι σε ομως δεν θελουσι βασιλευσει.
7 If one of your brothers, who dwells within the gates of your city, in the land which the Lord your God will give to you, falls into poverty, you shall not harden your heart, nor tighten your hand.	7 Εαν ηναι εν μεσω σου πτωχος εκ των αδελφων σου εντος τινος των πυλων σου, εν τη γη σου την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε, δεν θελεις σκληρυνει την καρδιαν σου ουδε θελεις κλεισει την χειρα σου απο του πτωχου αδελφου σου?
8 Instead, you shall open your hand to the poor, and you shall lend to him whatever you perceive him to need.	8 αλλ' εξαπαντος θελεις ανοιξει την χειρα σου προς αυτον, και εξαπαντος θελεις δανεισει εις αυτον ικανα δια την χρειαν αυτου, εις ο, τι χρειαζεται.
9 Take care, lest perhaps an impious thought might creep within you, and you might say in your heart: ‘The seventh year of remission approaches.’ And so you might turn your eyes away from your poor brother, unwilling to lend to him what he has asked. If so, then he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it will be a sin for you.	9 προσεχε εις σεαυτον, μηποτε επελθη κακος στοχασμος επι την καρδιαν σου και ειπης, Πλησιαζει το εβδομον ετος, το ετος της αφεσεως? και πονηρευθη ο οφθαλμος σου κατα του πτωχου αδελφου σου και δεν δωσης εις αυτον, και βοηση προς τον Κυριον κατα σου, και γεινη εις σε αμαρτια.
10 Instead, you shall give to him. Neither shall you do anything craftily while assisting him in his needs, so that the Lord your God may bless you, at all times and in all things to which you will put your hand.	10 Θελεις δωσει εξαπαντος εις αυτον, και η καρδια σου δεν θελει πονηρευθη οταν διδης εις αυτον? επειδη δια τουτο θελει σε ευλογει Κυριος ο Θεος σου εις παντα τα εργα σου και εις πασας τας επιχειρησεις σου.
11 The poor will not be absent from the land of your habitation. For this reason, I instruct you to open your hand to your indigent and poor brother, who lives among you in the land.	11 Διοτι δεν θελει λειψει πτωχος εκ μεσου της γης σου? δια τουτο εγω προσταζω εις σε, λεγων, Θελεις εξαπαντος ανοιγει την χειρα σου προς τον αδελφον σου, προς τον πτωχον σου και προς τον ενδεη σου επι της γης σου.
12 When your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, has been sold to you, and has served you for six years, in the seventh year you shall set him free.	12 Εαν ο αδελφος σου, Εβραιος η Εβραια, πωληθη εις σε, θελει σε δουλευσει εξ ετη, και εις το εβδομον ετος θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτον ελευθερον απο σου.
13 And when you grant his freedom, you shall by no means permit him to go away empty.	13 Και οταν εξαποστειλης αυτον ελευθερον απο σου, δεν θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτον κενον?
14 Instead, you shall give to him, for his journey, from your flocks and threshing floor and winepress, with which the Lord your God has blessed you.	14 θελεις εξαπαντος εφοδιασει αυτον απο των προβατων σου και απο του αλωνιου σου και απο του ληνου σου? απο ο, τι Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε ηυλογησε, θελεις δωσει εις αυτον.
15 Remember that you yourself also served in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. And therefore, I now command this of you.	15 Και θελεις ενθυμηθη οτι δουλος εσταθης εν γη Αιγυπτου, και Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε ελυτρωσεν? οθεν εγω προσταζω εις σε το πραγμα τουτο σημερον.
16 But if he will say, ‘I am not willing to depart,’ because he loves you and your household, and because he feels that it would be good for him to stay with you,	16 Αλλ' εαν σοι ειπη, Δεν εξερχομαι απο σου? επειδη ηγαπησε σε και τον οικον σου, διοτι ευτυχει μετα σου?
17 then you shall take an awl and pierce his ear, at the door of your house. And he shall serve you even forever. You shall also act similarly toward your woman servant.	17 τοτε θελεις λαβει τρυπητηριον και θελεις τρυπησει το ωτιον αυτου προς την θυραν, και θελει εισθαι δουλος σου παντοτεινος? και εις την δουλην σου θελεις καμει ομοιως.
18 You should not avert your eyes from them when you set them free, because he has served you for six years, in a manner deserving of the pay of a hired hand. So may the Lord your God bless you in all the works that you do.	18 Δεν θελει φανη εις σε σκληρον οταν εξαποστειλης αυτον ελευθερον απο σου? διοτι σε εδουλευσε το διπλουν μισθωτου δουλου, εξ ετη? και Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει σε ευλογει εις παν ο, τι καμνεις.
19 Of the firstborn, those born from your herds and sheep, you shall sanctify to the Lord your God whatever is of the male sex. You shall not put the firstborn of the oxen to work, nor shall you shear the firstborn of the sheep.	19 Παντα τα πρωτοτοκα, οσα γεννωνται μεταξυ των βοων σου και των προβατων σου τα αρσενικα, θελεις αφιερονει εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου? δεν θελεις μεταχειρισθη εις εργασιαν τον πρωτοτοκον μοσχον σου, ουδε κουρευσει το πρωτοτοκον των προβατων σου.
20 In the sight of the Lord your God, you shall eat these, each year, in the place which the Lord will choose, you and your household.	20 Ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου σου θελεις τρωγει αυτο κατ' ετος, εν τω τοπω οντινα εκλεξη ο Κυριος, συ και ο οικος σου.
21 But if it has a blemish, or is lame, or is blind, or if it is in any part deformed or debilitated, it shall not be immolated to the Lord your God.	21 Και εαν εχη τινα μωμον, εαν ηναι χωλον η τυφλον η εχη τινα μωμον κακον, δεν θελεις θυσιασει αυτο εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου.
22 Instead, you shall eat it within the gates of your city. The clean as well as the unclean alike shall feed on these, such as the roe deer and the stag.	22 Εντος των πυλων σου θελεις τρωγει αυτο? ο ακαθαρτος και ο καθαρος εξισου, ως την δορκαδα και ως την ελαφον.
23 This alone shall you observe: that you do not eat their blood, but pour it upon the ground like water.”	23 Πλην το αιμα αυτου δεν θελεις φαγει επι την γην θελεις χυσει αυτο ως υδωρ.
