For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

每年的十分之一

²²“你要把你撒种所产的，就是你田地每年所出的，十分取一分；You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.

²³又要把你的五谷、新酒、和油的十分之一，并牛群羊群中头生的，吃在耶和华—你　神面前，就是他所选择要立为他名的居所。这样，你可以学习时常敬畏耶和华—你的　神。And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

²⁴当耶和华—你　神赐福与你的时候，耶和华—你　神所选择要立为他名的地方若离你太远，那路也太长，使你不能把这物带到那里去，But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,

²⁵你就可以换成银子，将银子包起来，拿在手中，往耶和华—你　神所要选择的地方去。then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.

²⁶你用这银子，随心所欲，或买牛羊，或买清酒浓酒，凡你心所想的都可以买；你和你的家属在耶和华—你　神的面前吃喝快乐。Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.

²⁷“住在你城里的利未人，你不可丢弃他，因为他在你们中间无分无业。And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.

每三年的十分之一

²⁸每逢三年的末一年，你要将本年的土产十分之一都取出来，积存在你的城中。At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.

²⁹在你城里无分无业的利未人，和你城里寄居的，并孤儿寡妇，都可以来，吃得饱足。这样，耶和华—你的　神必在你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。”Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.

第七年的豁免

¹“每逢七年末一年，你要施行豁免。At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.

²豁免的定例乃是这样：凡债主要把所借给邻舍的豁免了；不可向邻舍和弟兄追讨，因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了。This is the manner of remission: Every creditor shall cancel what he has loaned to his neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.

³若借给外邦人，你可以向他追讨；但借给你弟兄，无论是什么，你要松手豁免了。You may collect something from a foreigner, but you must forgive whatever your brother owes you.

^4–5你若留意听从耶和华—你　神的话，谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你这一切的命令，就必在你们中间没有穷人了（在耶和华—你　神所赐你为业的地上，耶和华必大大赐福与你。）There will be no poor among you, however, because the LORD will surely bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.

⁶因为耶和华—你的　神必照他所应许你的赐福与你。你必借给许多国民，却不致向他们借贷；你必管辖许多国民，他们却不能管辖你。When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will lend to many nations but borrow from none; you will rule over many nations but be ruled by none.

要向穷乏的弟兄松开手

⁷“在耶和华—你　神所赐你的地上，无论哪一座城里，你弟兄中若有一个穷人，你不可忍着心、揝着手不帮补你穷乏的弟兄。If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.

⁸总要向他松开手，照他所缺乏的借给他，补他的不足。Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.

⁹你要谨慎，不可心里起恶念，说：‘第七年的豁免年快到了’，你便恶眼看你穷乏的弟兄，什么都不给他，以致他因你求告耶和华，罪便归于你了。Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

¹⁰你总要给他，给他的时候心里不可愁烦；因耶和华—你的　神必在你这一切所行的，并你手里所办的事上，赐福与你。Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.

¹¹原来那地上的穷人永不断绝；所以我吩咐你说：‘总要向你地上困苦穷乏的弟兄松开手。’”For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land.

释放希伯来奴仆

¹²“你弟兄中，若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人被卖给你，服事你六年，到第七年就要任他自由出去。If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.

¹³你任他自由的时候，不可使他空手而去，And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.

¹⁴要从你羊群、禾场、酒榨之中多多地给他；耶和华—你的　神怎样赐福与你，你也要照样给他。You are to furnish him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress. You shall give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.

¹⁵要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆，耶和华—你的　神将你救赎；因此，我今日吩咐你这件事。Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving you this command today.

¹⁶他若对你说：‘我不愿意离开你’，是因他爱你和你的家，且因在你那里很好，But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,

¹⁷你就要拿锥子将他的耳朵在门上刺透，他便永为你的奴仆了。你待婢女也要这样。then take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your servant for life. And treat your maidservant the same way.

¹⁸你任他自由的时候，不可以为难事，因他服事你六年，较比雇工的工价多加一倍了。耶和华—你的　神就必在你所做的一切事上赐福与你。”Do not regard it as a hardship to set your servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in all you do.

头生的牲畜

¹⁹“你牛群羊群中头生的，凡是公的，都要分别为圣，归耶和华—你的　神。牛群中头生的，不可用它耕地；羊群中头生的，不可剪毛。You must set apart to the LORD your God every firstborn male produced by your herds and flocks. You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work, nor are you to shear the firstborn of your flock.

²⁰这头生的，你和你的家属，每年要在耶和华所选择的地方，在耶和华—你　神面前吃。Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.

²¹这头生的若有什么残疾，就如瘸腿的、瞎眼的，无论有什么恶残疾，都不可献给耶和华—你的　神；But 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可以在你城里吃；洁净人与不洁净人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.

²³只是不可吃它的血；要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。”But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.

²你当在耶和华所选择要立为他名的居所，从牛群羊群中，将逾越节的祭牲献给耶和华—你的　神。You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.

³你吃这祭牲，不可吃有酵的饼；七日之内要吃无酵饼，就是困苦饼—你本是急忙出了埃及地—要叫你一生一世记念你从埃及地出来的日子。You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

⁷当在耶和华—你　神所选择的地方把肉烤了吃（烤：或译煮），次日早晨就回到你的帐棚去。And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.

⁸你要吃无酵饼六日，第七日要向耶和华—你的　神守严肃会，不可做工。”For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

¹¹你和你儿女、仆婢，并住在你城里的利未人，以及在你们中间寄居的与孤儿寡妇，都要在耶和华—你　神所选择立为他名的居所，在耶和华—你的　神面前欢乐。and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
