اَلْخُرُوجُ 21

١ 1 «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي تَضَعُ أَمَامَهُمْ:

And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

٢ 2 إِذَا ٱشْتَرَيْتَ عَبْدًا عِبْرَانِيًّا، فَسِتَّ سِنِينَ يَخْدِمُ، وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعَةِ يَخْرُجُ حُرًّا مَجَّانًا.

If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

٣ 3 إِنْ دَخَلَ وَحْدَهُ فَوَحْدَهُ يَخْرُجُ. إِنْ كَانَ بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، تَخْرُجُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ مَعَهُ.

If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.

٤ 4 إِنْ أَعْطَاهُ سَيِّدُهُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ بَنِينَ أَوْ بَنَاتٍ، فَٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَأَوْلَادُهَا يَكُونُونَ لِسَيِّدِهِ، وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ وَحْدَهُ.

If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ ٱلْعَبْدُ: أُحِبُّ سَيِّدِي وَٱمْرَأَتِي وَأَوْلَادِي، لَا أَخْرُجُ حُرًّا،

But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;

٦ 6 يُقَدِّمُهُ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَيُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ أَوْ إِلَى ٱلْقَائِمَةِ، وَيَثْقُبُ سَيِّدُهُ أُذْنَهُ بِٱلْمِثْقَبِ، فَيَخْدِمُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.

٧ 7 وَإِذَا بَاعَ رَجُلٌ ٱبْنَتَهُ أَمَةً، لَا تَخْرُجُ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْعَبِيدُ.

And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.

٨ 8 إِنْ قَبُحَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْ سَيِّدِهَا ٱلَّذِي خَطَبَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، يَدَعُهَا تُفَكُّ. وَلَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا لِقَوْمٍ أَجَانِبَ لِغَدْرِهِ بِهَا.

If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.

٩ 9 وَإِنْ خَطَبَهَا لِٱبْنِهِ فَبِحَسَبِ حَقِّ ٱلْبَنَاتِ يَفْعَلُ لَهَا.

And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.

١٠ 10 إِنِ ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ أُخْرَى، لَا يُنَقِّصُ طَعَامَهَا وَكِسْوَتَهَا وَمُعَاشَرَتَهَا.

If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.

١١ 11 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ لَهَا هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَ تَخْرُجُ مَجَّانًا بِلَا ثَمَنٍ.

And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

١٢ 12 «مَنْ ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانًا فَمَاتَ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَعَمَّدْ، بَلْ أَوْقَعَ ٱللهُ فِي يَدِهِ، فَأَنَا أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مَكَانًا يَهْرُبُ إِلَيْهِ.

But if he have not lain in wait, and God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.

١٤ 14 وَإِذَا بَغَى إِنْسَانٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِغَدْرٍ فَمِنْ عِنْدِ مَذْبَحِي تَأْخُذُهُ لِلْمَوْتِ.

But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

١٥ 15 وَمَنْ ضَرَبَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

١٦ 16 وَمَنْ سَرَقَ إِنْسَانًا وَبَاعَهُ، أَوْ وُجِدَ فِي يَدِهِ، يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.

١٧ 17 وَمَنْ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

١٨ 18 وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلَانِ فَضَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا ٱلْآخَرَ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ بِلَكْمَةٍ وَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ بَلْ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ،

And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

١٩ 19 فَإِنْ قَامَ وَتَمَشَّى خَارِجًا عَلَى عُكَّازِهِ يَكُونُ ٱلضَّارِبُ بَرِيئًا. إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُعَوِّضُ عُطْلَتَهُ، وَيُنْفِقُ عَلَى شِفَائِهِ.

— if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

٢٠ 20 وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ أَمَتَهُ بِٱلْعَصَا فَمَاتَ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ.

And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

٢١ 21 لَكِنْ إِنْ بَقِيَ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ لَا يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ لِأَنَّهُ مَالُهُ.

Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.

٢٢ 22 وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رِجَالٌ وَصَدَمُوا ٱمْرَأَةً حُبْلَى فَسَقَطَ وَلَدُهَا وَلَمْ تَحْصُلْ أَذِيَّةٌ، يُغَرَّمُ كَمَا يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَيَدْفَعُ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْقُضَاةِ.

And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.

٢٣ 23 وَإِنْ حَصَلَتْ أَذِيَّةٌ تُعْطِي نَفْسًا بِنَفْسٍ،

But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,

٢٤ 24 وَعَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ، وَسِنًّا بِسِنٍّ، وَيَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَرِجْلًا بِرِجْلٍ،

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

٢٥ 25 وَكَيًّا بِكَيٍّ، وَجُرْحًا بِجُرْحٍ، وَرَضًّا بِرَضٍّ.

branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

٢٦ 26 وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَيْنَ عَبْدِهِ، أَوْ عَيْنَ أَمَتِهِ فَأَتْلَفَهَا، يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ عَيْنِهِ.

And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.

٢٧ 27 وَإِنْ أَسْقَطَ سِنَّ عَبْدِهِ أَوْ سِنَّ أَمَتِهِ يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ سِنِّهِ.

And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.

٢٨ 28 «وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرٌ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ، يُرْجَمُ ٱلثَّوْرُ وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ. وَأَمَّا صَاحِبُ ٱلثَّوْرِ فَيَكُونُ بَرِيئًا.

And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless.

٢٩ 29 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ثَوْرًا نَطَّاحًا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَقَدْ أُشْهِدَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ، فَقَتَلَ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً، فَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ وَصَاحِبُهُ أَيْضًا يُقْتَلُ.

But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, — the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

٣٠ 30 إِنْ وُضِعَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِدْيَةٌ، يَدْفَعُ فِدَاءَ نَفْسِهِ كُلُّ مَا يُوضَعُ عَلَيْهِ.

If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.

٣١ 31 أَوْ إِذَا نَطَحَ ٱبْنًا أَوْ نَطَحَ ٱبْنَةً فَبِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْحُكْمِ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ.

Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.

٣٢ 32 إِنْ نَطَحَ ٱلثَّوْرُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً، يُعْطِي سَيِّدَهُ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ.

If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

٣٣ 33 وَإِذَا فَتَحَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا، أَوْحَفَرَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا وَلَمْ يُغَطِّهِ، فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ ثَوْرٌ أَوْ حِمَارٌ،

— And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall into it,

٣٤ 34 فَصَاحِبُ ٱلْبِئْرِ يُعَوِّضُ وَيَرُدُّ فِضَّةً لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ.

the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.

٣٥ 35 وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرُ إِنْسَانٍ ثَوْرَ صَاحِبِهِ فَمَاتَ، يَبِيعَانِ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْحَيَّ وَيَقْتَسِمَانِ ثَمَنَهُ. وَٱلْمَيْتُ أَيْضًا يَقْتَسِمَانِهِ.

— And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.

٣٦ 36 لَكِنْ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ ثَوْرٌ نَطَّاحٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ صَاحِبُهُ، يُعَوِّضُ عَنِ ٱلثَّوْرِ بِثَوْرٍ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ.

Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.
