Exodo 21
1 “Karon mao kini ang mga balaod nga ipatuman mo kanila:
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 'Kung mopalit kamo ug ulipon nga Hebreohanon, paalagara siya sulod sa unom ka tuig, ug sa ikapito nga tuig palakwa siya nga dili pabayron.
When/If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for [only] six years. In the seventh year you must free him [from being your slave], and he is not required to pay you anything [for setting him free].
3 Kung ulitawo siya nga miabot, palakwa siyang mag-inusara; kung minyo siya, nan palakwa uban kaniya ang iyang asawa.
If he was not married before he became your slave, and if he marries [someone while he is your slave], his wife is not to be set free [with him]. But if he was married before he became your slave, you must free both him and his wife.
4 Kung ang iyang agalon mihatag kaniya ug asawa unya nanganak alang kaniya ang iyang asawa sa mga anak nga lalaki o mga babaye, ang asawa ug ang iyang mga anak mapanag-iya sa iyang agalon, ug molakaw siya nga mag-inusara.
If a slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters [while her husband is a slave], only the man is to be freed. His wife and children will continue to be slaves of their master.
5 Apan kung mosulti gayod ang ulipon, “Gihigugma ko ang akong agalon, ang akong asawa, ug ang akong mga anak; dili ako mopahawa,”
But when it is time for the slave to be set free, if the slave says, ‘I love my master and my wife and my children, and I do not want to be set free,’
6 nan pagadad-on siya sa iyang agalon ngadto sa Dios. Kinahanglan dad-on siya sa iyang agalon ngadto sa pultahan o sa haligi sa pultahan ug kinahanglan bangagan sa iyang agalon ang dalunggan sa ulipon gamit ang galamiton sa pagbangag. Unya maulipon siya sa tibuok niyang kinabuhi.
then his master must take him to [the place where they worship] God (OR, to [the owner’s] house). There he must make the slave stand against the door or the doorpost. Then the master will use an (awl/pointed metal rod) to make a hole in the slave’s ear. Then [he will fasten a tag to the slave’s ear to indicate that] (he will own that slave for the rest of his life/he will own the slave as long as the slave lives).
7 Kung ibaligya sa usa ka tawo ang iyang anak nga babaye ingon nga ulipon, dili siya buhian sama sa ginabuhat sa mga ulipong lalaki.
If a man sells his daughter to become a slave, she should not be set free [after six years], as the male slaves are.
8 Kung dili siya makapahimuot sa iyang agalon, nga nagpili kaniya aron maiya, nan ang agalon makabaligya kaniya pagbalik. Walay katungod ang agalon sa pagbaligya kaniya ngadto sa mga langyaw. Wala gayod siyay katungod niana, sanglit gitamod man niya siya nga malinglahon.
If the man who bought her wanted her to be his wife, but if [later] he is not pleased with her, he must sell her back to her father. He must not sell her to a foreigner, because that would be breaking the contract/agreement [he made with the girl’s father].
9 Kung ang iyang agalon magpili kaniya aron maasawa sa iyang anak nga lalaki, kinahanglan nga tagdon niya siya sama sa iyang anak nga babaye.
If the man who buys her wants her to be a wife for his son, he must then treat her as though she were his own daughter.
10 Kung maminyo siya ug laing babaye, kinahanglan nga dili niya kuhaan ang pagkaon sa unang asawa, mga bisti, o ang iyang katungod sa pagkaasawa.
If the master takes another slave girl to be another wife for himself, he must continue to give the first slave wife the same amount of food and clothing that he gave to her before, and he must continue to have sex [EUP] with her as before.
11 Apan kung dili niya mahatag kining tulo ka butang ngadto kaniya, nan gawasnon siyang makapahawa nga walay ibayad nga salapi.
If he does not do all these three things for her, he must free her [from being a slave], and she is not required to pay anything [for being set free].
12 Si bisan kinsa kadtong modagmal sa usa ka tawo aron siya mamatay, kanang tawhana kinahanglan patyon.
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 Kung ang tawo wala magplano niining daan, kondili wala kini tuyoa, nan mopili ako ug usa ka dapit nga iyang kadangpan.
But if the one who struck the other did not intend to kill that person, the one who struck him can escape to a place that I will choose for you, [and he will be safe there].
14 Kung tinuyoan sa tawo ang pagdagmal sa iyang isigkatawo ug mopatay kaniya sumala sa malimbungon nga plano, nan kuhaa ninyo siya, bisan pa kung anaa siya sa halaran sa Dios, aron patyon siya.
But if someone gets angry with another person and kills him, even if the murderer runs to the altar, [a place that God designated as a place to be safe], you must execute him.
15 Si bisan kinsa kadtong magpasakit sa iyang amahan o inahan kinahanglan gayod patyon.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 Si bisan kinsa ang modagit sa usa ka tawo ug mobaligya kaniya, o ang tao makaplagan nga iyang gitagoan, kanang tawo nga nagdagit kinahanglan gayod patyon.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 Si bisan kinsa ang motunglo sa iyang amahan o sa iyang inahan kinahanglan gayod patyon.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 Kung mag-away ang mga tawo ug dagmalan sa usa ang laing tawo gamit ang bato o sa iyang kinumo, ug wala mamatay kanang tawhana, apan naglubog siya sa iyang higdaanan;
Suppose two people fight, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist. And suppose the person he strikes does not die but is injured and has to stay in bed [for a while],
19 unya kung mamaayo na siya ug makalakaw na gamit ang iyang sungkod, ang tawo nga nagdagmal kaniya kinahanglan mobayad sa iyang oras nga nausik; kinahanglan mobayad usab siya hangtod mamaayo na gayod siya. Apan kanang tawhana dili sad-an sa pagpatay.
and later he is able to walk outside using a cane. Then the person who struck him does not have to be punished. However, he must pay the injured person the money he could not earn [while he was recovering], and he must also pay the injured person’s medical expenses until that person is well.
20 Kung bunalan sa usa ka tawo ang iyang ulipong lalaki o babaye gamit ang sungkod, ug kung mao kana ang hinungdan nga mamatay ang ulipon, nan angay gayong silotan kanang tawhana.
If someone strikes his male or female slave with a stick, if the slave dies (immediately/as a result) [IDM], the one who struck him must be punished.
21 Apan, kung buhi pa ang ulipon sulod sa usa o duha ka adlaw, dili angay silotan ang agalon, tungod kay nag-antos man siya sa pagkawala sa iyang ulipon.
But if the slave lives for a day or two after he is struck [and then dies], you must not punish the one who struck him. Not having that slave to be able to work for him any longer is enough punishment.
22 Kung adunay mag-away nga mga tawo ug makaangin nga makuhaan ang usa ka babayeng mabdos, apan wala nay laing kadaot nga nahitabo kaniya, nan ang tawong sad-an kinahanglan magmulta sumala sa gipangayo kaniya sa bana sa babaye, ug magabayad siya sumala sa hukom sa maghuhukom.
Suppose two people are fighting and they hurt a pregnant woman with the result that (she has a miscarriage/her baby is born prematurely and dies). If the woman is not harmed in any other way, the one who injured her must pay a fine. He must pay whatever the woman’s husband demands, after a judge approves of the fine.
23 Apan kung adunay kadaot nga mahitabo, nan kinahanglan ang kinabuhi bayrag kinabuhi,
But if the woman is injured in some additional way, the one who injured her must be caused to suffer in exactly the same way [that he caused her to suffer]. If she dies, he must be executed.
24 ang usa ka mata bayrag mata, ang ngipon bayrag ngipon, ang kamot bayrag kamot, ang tiil bayrag tiil,
If her eye is injured or destroyed, or if he knocks out one of her teeth, or her hand or foot is injured, or if she is burned or bruised, the one who injured her must be injured in the same way.
25 ang paso bayrag paso, ang samad bayrag samad, o ang labod bayrag labod.
26 Kung maigo sa usa ka tawo ang mata sa iyang ulipong lalaki o sa iyang ulipong babaye ug mabuta kini, nan palakwon niya ang ulipon ingon nga bayad alang sa iyang mata.
If the owner of a slave strikes the eye of his male or female slave and ruins it, he must free that slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s eye.
27 Kung mapangag niya ang ngipon sa iyang ulipong lalaki o babaye, angay niyang palakwon ang ulipon ingon nga bayad alang sa ngipon.
If someone knocks out one of his slave’s teeth, he must free the slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s tooth.
28 Kung ang torong baka makasungag sa usa ka lalaki o babaye hangtod mamatay, kinahanglan gayod batohon ang baka, ug dili kan-on ang unod niini; apan ang tag-iya sa maong baka dili silotan.
If a bull gores a man or woman with the result that the person dies, you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must not punish the owner of the bull.
29 Apan kung nabatasan na sa baka ang pagpanungag kaniadto, ug gipasidan-an na ang tag-iya apan wala niya kini bantayi, unya makapatay ang torong baka ug lalaki o babaye, batohon gayod kanang torong baka, ug patyon usab ang tag-iya niini.
But suppose the bull had attacked people several times before, and its owner had been warned, but he did not keep the bull inside a fence. Then you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must also execute its owner.
30 Kung gikinahanglan ang bayad alang sa paglukat sa iyang kinabuhi, pagabayran niya ang tibuok kantidad.
However, if the owner of the bull is allowed to pay a fine (to save his own life/in order not to be executed), he must pay the full amount that the judges say that he must pay.
31 Kung ang torong baka makapanungag sa anak nga lalaki o anak nga babaye sa usa ka tawo, kinahanglan nga buhaton sa tag-iya ang gisugo sa balaod nga angay niyang buhaton.
If someone’s bull attacks and gores another person’s son or daughter, you must treat the bull’s owner according to that same rule.
32 Kung makapanungag ang torong baka sa usa ka ulipong lalaki o ulipong babaye, ang tag-iya sa maong torong baka kinahanglan magbayad ug 30 ka shekels nga plata, ug batohon ang maong baka.
If a bull attacks and gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay to the slave’s owner 30 pieces of silver. Then you must [kill the bull by] throwing stones at it.
33 Kung ang usa ka tawo magkuha sa tabon sa usa ka lungag, o magbangag ug dili niya kini tabonan, ug mahulog niini ang usa ka torong baka o asno,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 kinahanglan bayran sa tag-iya ang nawala. Bayaran niyag salapi ang tag-iya sa namatay nga mananap, ug maiya na ang patay nga mananap.
Then the owner of the pit/cistern must pay for the animal that died. He must give the money to the animal’s owner, but then he can take away the animal that died and [do whatever he wants to with it].
35 Kung ang baka sa usa ka tawo makapatay sa torong baka sa laing tawo, nan kinahanglan ibaligya nila ang buhi nga torong baka ug bahinon nila ang halin niini, ug bahinon usab nila ang namatay nga torong baka.
If someone’s bull hurts another person’s bull with the result that it dies, the owners of both bulls must sell the bull that is living, and they must divide [between them] the money [that they receive] for it. They must also divide [between them the meat of] the animal that died.
36 Apan kung ilado na nga gapanungag ang maong torong baka kaniadto, ug wala kini bantayi sa tag-iya, bayran gayod niya ang torong baka alang sa torong baka, ug maiya ang patay nga mananap.
However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died [and do with it whatever he wants to do].”
