Potdohbu 21
1 “Hicheng se hi Israel mite chon'na ding dan ahiye.
And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them.
2 “Hebrew mi soh ding'a na choh teng le, amachun kumgup sungse'a sohna chu atoh jing ding, kumsagi ahung lhin teng vang le soh'a kivul michu chamlhat chang ding che ding ahitai,” ati.
If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 “Soh'a pangpa chu amachang seh seh bou ahileh, amabou kile ding Chule, jineisa ahi khah tah le, ajinu jaona anilhon'na kilhon doh lhon ding ahi.”
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was the husband of a woman, then shall his wife go out with him.
4 “Hiche sohpa chu apupan ji aholpeh'a ahile, achate sese leh sohpa jinu chu apupa chang ding, ajona teng le sohpa chu achang seh'a che ding ahi.”
If his master should give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters: the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.
5 Ahinlah sohpa chu hitia asei ding, ka pupa ahin ka jinu chule ka chate abonchauvin kalha ngaijin,’ chamlhat chang din che da jeng ing'e tia aseija,
And if the servant should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 Hichepa chu apupan Pathen heng'a ahin puiding, hiche asohpa chu kotphung gei hihen kotphung khom chang hijongh leh ahin puija, chuteng apupan thihtul khat'a asohpa bilkol a vuhom peh ding, hiche teng chule sohpa chun nilhum keija apupa kin'a kisa lal ding ahiye.
Then shall his master bring him unto the judges, and he shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him till the jubilee.
7 Pasal khat bang chun achanu soh ding'a akijoh doh ding'a ahile, amanu chu soh pasal ho bang'a kisol doh lou ding ahi.
And if a man sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants go out.
8 Hiche sohnu chun apupa lunglhaina mong mong aboldoh jou lou ding'a ahile, apupan jong mi dang akilhat doh sah thei jeng ding, apupan hiche sohnu chu kitahna nei louvin anabol tan ahile amanu chu apupan jong gamchom ma joh doh son nading ima agel lou ding ahi.
If she please not her master, to whom he hath assigned her, then shall he aid her to be redeemed: unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her, seeing he hath dealt faithlessly with her.
9 “Ahinlah hiche sohnu chu apupan achapa sohnu a pang ding a agella ahile amanu chu achanu ngai ngai banga bol ding ahiye.”
And if he should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters.
10 “Ibang khat a achapa chun amading'a ji achom akipui khah tah a ahile, sohnu chu aji hina'a an-neh ding, sil-le-chen ding leh athaneina ima asuhnem peh chom lou ding ahi.”
If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 “Asohnu dinga chu hicheng thum hochu abolpeh louva ahile, asohnu chun bat ima neilouva sum jong pelouva adalhah jeng thei ding ahi.”
And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
12 “Khat touvin midang chun'a akhut alha khah'a ahile, akhut lhapa chu tha teitei ding ahi.”
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
13 “Ahinlah kihetkhelna maimaija konna ahile, hichu Pathen in amosah lou ding, keiman nangma munding kasem pehsa nahiye atia ahile hiche laimuna chu mivolihpa jamlut'a kihuh hing thei ding ahi.”
And if he did not lie in wait, but God let it come into his hand, then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 “Amavang, khat touvin aloipa hamkhat chu atha jeng'a ahile, hiche mithat pachu keima maicham phung'a konna tha ding'a napuidoh ding ahi, ati.”
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile, from my altar shalt thou take him, that he may die.
15 “Koi hile, anuham apa ham vo'a achung'a khut lha aumma ahile ama chu tha jeng ding ahi.”
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
16 “Mihem gumang aum'a, amiguhpa bang chu ana johdoh tah'a chule akomma ana um nah laiya, akomma aum pet hichu amatoh kimudoh khom hijong leh, akimu doh pachu tha jeng ding ahiye.”
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, and he be found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17 “Koiman anu apa a engbol thei lou ding amavang anu engbol mihem chu tha jeng ding ahiye.”
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 “Tun, Pasal khat le pasal khat akinah a, khatpan jong khat pachu song tum'a asuh ham akhut tumma akhet hamma ahile hiche amisuh pachu thipei dehlouva ahile jalkhun anga ding ahi.”
And if men strive together, and one smite the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19 “Ahinlah alhupa chu ahung kitho doh'a tenggol mangcha a ava le theiya ahile, ama anasukhapa chu achungchang kisutheng thei ding, anat nasung'a aki jenna phat mansah chengse alepeh ding chule ajen dam sel ding ahiye.”
If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his crutch, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 “Mihem khat touvin asohpa ham asohnu ham chung'a khut alha'a athikhah a ahile, soh neipa chu thina chang ding ahiye.”
And if a man smite his servant or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand, it shall be surely avenged.
21 “Ahinlah hiche soh kijep penchu nikhat ahilou le nini sung'a adam theng tah'a ahile, sohchung'a khut lha mihem chu thina chang lou ding ahiye. Ajeh chu soh kivul michu ama nei gou khat ahi.”
Nevertheless, if he continue alive a day or two, it shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
22 “Tun tekah nan, Pasal khat le pasal khat akinah tan, numei naovop lai chu asuh khah tah lhonna anaovop chu kisuhmo'a aphat louva ahungpot doh khah tah le, numeinu suhkha penpen chu ajipan jong anop channa aman adel khum jeng thei ahi. Ahinlah apeh ding chengse chu thutan vaihom hon aphatsah peh'u angaiye.”
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her children depart from her, and yet no farther mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, [with a fine, ] according as the husband of the woman will lay upon him; and he shall pay this by the decision of the judges.
23 “Amavang numeinu kisuklhahna khonung'a ahung nat khat tah ahile: hiche hinkho khel ding'a chu hin kho khat ma lepeh ding ahi.”
And if any mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life.
24 Mitchang khella michang hiding, haa khella haa hiding, khut khel la khut hiding, keng khel la kengg na peh ding ahi,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Meiyin akah'a ahile meikah jeh'a meiya nale peh ding, kimavo jeh'a namavoa chule kijep jeh'a chu nale jep jeng ding ahi, ati.
Burning for burning, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
26 “Mihem koitobang khat chun asohpa ahilou leh asohnu ham mit asuh khah peh'a ahile, hiche soh chu amit adam loutah jeh'a chamlhat ding'a asol doh jeng ding ahiye.”
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
27 “Soh goiya pang pan jong asohnu ham, asohpa ham khat achu ahaa asuhlhoi peh a hile, ahaa asuh lhopipeh tah jeh'a hiche sohpa ham sohnu ham chu chmalhat chansah ding'a asol doh ding ahitai.”
And if he strike out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
28 “Bongchal khattou vin numei ham pasal ham khat chu aki'a ahin pihlih khah'a ahile, hiche bongchal chu song'a selih jeng ding ahiye. Amavang bongsa chu koiman aneh theilou ding chuteng bong neipa ding'a achungchang thu kisutheng ahitai,” ati.
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that he die: then shall the ox be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
29 “Ahinlah hiche bongchal chun masang kisanna mihem dang ana pihlih sa ahileh, aneipa jeng'in jong anahsah lou ahitah leh, hiche bongchal in jong numei ham pasal ham chu aki a apihlih khah'a ahileh, bongchal chu thadoh jeng ding chule aneipa jeng jong anigel la tha teitei lhon ding ahiye.”
But if the ox were wont to gore in time past, and warning have been given to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, and he killeth a man or a woman: the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also should of right be put to death;
30 Amavang athipa chu longlhat na ding'a aki peh doh'a ahile, aki pehdoh sah jatchu aman jong long lhatna ding'a apeh ding ahi.”
But there shall be laid on him a sum of money in atonement, and he shall give the ransom of his life whatsoever may be laid upon him.
31 “Hiche bongchal chun numei ham pasal ham khat ahin peh lih khah bang le, hiche gancha neipa chu dan kisem dungjuija kitham gah ding ahi.”
If he gore a son, or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall be done unto him.
32 “Bongchal chun soh numeija pang ham pasal ham khat chu ahin pihlih bang leh, bongchal neipan jong sohneipa chu dangka shekel somthum apeh teitei ding chule hiche bongchal chu song'a aselih pai jeng ding ahi.”
If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, thirty shekels of silver shall he give to his master, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 “Tekah nan mikhat chun kokhuh khah bit louva adalhah jeng'a chule hiche kokhuh sin kikhah bit louva adalhah'a sangan ham bongchal ham kokhuh'a alhah lut'a athi den tah'a ahileh,
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 therein:
34 “Kokhuh neipan jong aphat toh kitoh chatna asem phat ding, gancha neipa jong sum apeh ding, a gancha pohlih vang chu ama chang ding ahi.”
The owner of the pit shall make it good, he shall make restitution in money unto the owner thereof; and the dead beast shall be his.
35 “Mihem khat bongchal chun mi dang khat bongchal a suhkhah a asuh khah bongchal chu athi jeng'a ahile, bong nei ten jong hiche bong chal athinai louchu akijoh doh diu aki johdohna man vang chu kihom lhon ding, hiche bongchal thisa jeng jong chu aman kihom lhon ding ahi.”
And if one man's ox hurt the ox of another, that he die: then shall they sell the live ox, and divide his money; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 “Ahinlah hiche bongchal chun masang jeng'ajong gancha dang ana pihlih jeng'a ahile, aneipa jeng in jong ahilchahsa ahi a chule ngaisah'a akoi louva ahile, anei pan jong bongchal thi chu bongchal khat mama'a alesah ding, bongchal thisa vang chu ama chang teitei ding ahiye.”
But if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in: he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall belong to him.
