בְּמוֹתַב תְּלָתָא בֵּי דִּינָא כַּחֲדָא הָוֵֽינָא, וּבָא לְפָנֵֽינוּ (פלוני בֶּן פלוני) וְאָמַר לָֽנוּ:
We three were sitting as a Beit Din, and (name) son of (father’s name) came before us and said:
הֵן שָׁנָה זוֹ הִיא שְׁנַת הַשְּׁבִיעִית, וְיֵשׁ לִי חוֹבוֹת בִּשְׁטָר וּבְעַל פֶּה עַל אֵיזֶה אֲנָשִׁים וְ/אוֹ חֲבָרוֹת, וַהֲרֵֽינִי מוֹסֵר בִּפְנֵיכֶם פְּרוֹזְבּוּל זֶה וְכָל חוֹב שֶׁיֵּשׁ לִי לָכֶם, הַדַּיָּנִים שֶׁבִּפְנֵיהֶם אֲנִי מַצְהִיר, וַהֲרֵינִי מַרְשֶׁה אֶתְכֶם לִגְבּוֹת כָּל חוֹב שֶׁיֵּשׁ לִי, וּמֵעַתָּה הֱיוּ אַתֶּם דַּיָּנִים וּגְבוּ אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁבִילִי; וְאִם לֹא תִּגְבּֽוּהוּ אַתֶּם, מֵעַתָּה כֵּיוָן שֶׁמָּסַרְתִּי פְּרוֹזְבּוּל זֶה, אֶגְבֶּה אֲנִי כָּל חוֹב שֶׁיֵּשׁ לִי עַד הַיּוֹם אֵֽצֶל כָּל אָדָם כָּל זְמַן שֶׁאֶרְצֶה.
“As this year is the seventh year, and I am owed money, in debts that are documented or orally agreed upon, by individuals and/or by companies, I hereby present this Prozbul and transfer every debt owed me to you, the judges before whom I make my declaration, and thus authorize you to exact payment of every debt I am owed. Henceforth you will be my executors and may exact repayment in my name. If you do not exact repayment, then I myself, having presented this Prozbul, may henceforth exact repayment of every debt that is owed me at this time, from any debtor, at any time that I choose.”
וְאָֽנוּ, בֵּית הַדִּין הַחֲתוּמִים מַֽטָּה, כֵּיוָן שֶׁרָאִֽינוּ דְּבָרָיו נְכוֹנִים, וְהוֹאִיל וּמָסַר לְפָנֵֽינוּ דִּבְרֵי פְּרוֹזְבּוּל כְּתַקָּנַת הִלֵּל וַחֲזָ״ל, קָבַֽעְנוּ שֶׁלֹּא תְּשַׁמֵּט שְׁבִיעִית חוֹבוֹתָיו וְיוּכַל לִגְבּוֹתָם כָּל עֵת שֶׁיִּרְצֶה. וּבָֽאנוּ עַל הֶחָתוּם, יוֹם (insert day of month) לְחֹֽדֶשׁ אֱלוּל שְׁנַת (insert year), פֹּה ב(insert location).
This being in order we, the Beit Din undersigned – having seen that this person has presented this Prozbul in accordance with the procedure laid out by Hillel and the sages – decree that the seventh year will not cancel the debts owed him, and that he will thus be entitled to exact their repayment at any time he chooses. We undersign this on the (insert date) day of the month of Elul in the year (insert Hebrew year), here in (insert location).
