Sunglatnah 21
1 Te phoeiah laitloeknah he amih mikhmuh ah khueh pah.
And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 Hebrew sal te na lai atah kum rhuk thotat saeh lamtah kum rhih hlang dongah tah sayalh la cet yungyi saeh.
If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 Amah bueng hoengpoek la ha pawk atah amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh. A yuua vaaom atah a yuu khaw amah neh cet saeh.
If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 A boei loh anih te yuua paek tih anih ham canu capaa sak ataha yuu neh a ca tah a boei kah ni. Tedae amahte amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh.
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.
5 Tedae sal loh, “Ka boei ka lungnahtih ka yuu neh ka ca he sayalh la ka coe tak mahpawha ti khaw a ti khaming.
But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
6 Te vaengah anihte a boei loh Pathen mikhmuh la khuen saeh lamtah thohkhaih taeng neh rhungsut taengla thoeih saeh. Te vaengah a boei loh a hna te ciphuem neh vueh pah saeh kumhal ham anih taengah thotat saeh.
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.
7 Te phoeiah hlang loh a canu te sal laa yoih atah, sal tongpa a caeh bangla cet mahpawh.
And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
8 A boei mik aha thae atah anihte amah ham tuentah saeh lamtah lat saeh. Salnu taengah a hnukpoh coeng dongah salnute kholong pilnam taengla yoih ham taemrhai boel saeh.
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.
9 Salnute a capa hama tuentah coeng atah anih te amah canu kah hamsum bangla saii pah saeh.
And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
10 Amah ham te a tloea loh atah, salnu kah a maeh, a himbai neh a hutakoete hnop pah boel saeh.
If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
11 He pathum he anih hama saii pah pawt atah, tangka mueh la cet yungyi pawn saeh.
And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12 Hlanga boh tiha duek atah amah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
13 Anih loh rhaem ngawn pawt dae Pathen loh anih kut aha rhul sak oeh atah nang ham hmuen ka khueh vetih te lam te rhaelrham bitni.
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.
14 Tedae hlang loh a hui te ngawn ham taengnah neha lokhak atah anihte ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh khuen lamtah duek saeh.
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.
15 A manu a napa aka taam khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
16 Hlang aka huen neh te te a yoih vaengah a kut aha hmuh pah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.
17 A manu a napa aka tap khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
18 Hlang rhoi te oelh uh rhoi tih hlang pakhat loh a hui te lungto neh, kuthluem neh a thuk dae duek pawt tih thingkong dongaha yalh atah,
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,
19 thoo tih poeng ah a conghol neh a pongpa atah anih aka ngawn te hmil mai saeh. A bipoei phu tah pae saeh lamtah hoeih rhoe hoeih sak saeh.
— 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.
20 Hlang loh a salpa neh a salnu te conghol neha taam tih a kut hmuiaha duek ataha phuloh ham te a phulo kuekluek saeh.
And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.
21 Tedae hnin hnih hnin at neh a thoh atah anih te amah tangka coeng dongah phulo boel saeh.
Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
22 Hlanga hnueih vaengah huta bungvawn te a si tih a cate thoeng mai ni. Tedae yoethae puei pawt cakhaw huta kah a va amah lamloha hoe te tah sah rhoe sah saeh. Tedae rhokhan tarhing la pae saeh.
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.
23 Tedae yoethaea puei atah hinglu hamte hingluna paek van ni.
But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Mik yueng mik, no yueng no, kut yueng kut, kho yuengah kho,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Hmai-ung yueng hmai-ung, tloh yueng tloh, boengha yueng boengha van saeh.
branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 Hlang loh a salpa mik a salnu mik tea ngawn pah tiha rhawp sak atah a mik yuengte sayalh la hlah saeh.
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.
27 A salpa no neh a salnu no te a hom sak atah a no yueng anihte sayalh la hlah saeh.
And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
28 Vaito loh tongpa khaw, huta khaw a thoeh tiha duek atah vaitote dae rhoe dae saeh lamtah a saa te ca boel saeh. Tedae vaito kungmah tah ommongsitoe ngawn saeh.
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.
29 Tedae vaito te hlaem hlavai ah khaw a toh noek dongah a kungmah te a rhalrhing sak lalah ngaithuen pawt tih tongpa khaw huta khaw a duek sak atah vaito te dae saeh lamtah a kungmah khaw duek saeh.
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.
30 Anih taengah tlansuma suk atah te lamloha hoe boeih te a hinglu kah tlansum pae van saeh.
If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.
31 Capa a thoeh akhaw canu khaw a thoeh akhaw hekah laitloeknah bangla a taengah saii saeh.
Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
32 Vaito loh salpa khaw, sal huta khaw a thoeh atah a boei te tangka shekel sawmthum pae saeh lamtah vaito te dae saeh.
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.
33 Hlang loh tangrhom khaw a ong tih hlang loh rhom khaw a vueh vaengah te te muek pawt tih vaito khaw laak khaw a cungku atah,
— 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,
34 Tangrhom kungmah loh thuung saeh lamtah a boei te tangka la mael saeh. Tedae aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.
35 Hlang pakhat kah vaito loh a hui kah vaito te a si tih a duek atah vaito hing te yoi rhoi saeh lamtah a tangka te tael uh rhoi saeh. Te phoeiah aka duek te khaw tael uh rhoi saeh.
— 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.
36 Tedae hlaem hlavai ah khaw vaito kah a toh noek te a ming lalah a kungmah loh te te a khoem pawt atah vaito yueng te vaito neh thuung rhoe thuung saeh lamtah aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
