Potdohbu 21
1 “Hicheng se hi Israel mite chon'na ding dan ahiye.
Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put 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.
When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve, —but in the seventh shall he go out freely—for nought.
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, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out, —if he was married, 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 lord gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, 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,
But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, —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 lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door-post, —and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
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 when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
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 is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously 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, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
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 to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
11 “Asohnu dinga chu hicheng thum hochu abolpeh louva ahile, asohnu chun bat ima neilouva sum jong pelouva adalhah jeng thei ding ahi.”
But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
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.”
But he who hath not lain in wait, but, God, hath occasioned him to come to his hand, then will I appoint for thee a place, whither he may 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, when a man shall act presumptuously against his neighbour to slay him with guile, from mine altar, shalt thou take him to 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 of the sons of Israel, and selleth him, or 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 who revileth 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 when men strive together, and one shall smite the other, with a stone or with his fist, —and he die not, but shall fall to 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 and shall walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be acquitted, —only, for his loss of time, he shall pay, and, shall surely heal, him.
20 “Mihem khat touvin asohpa ham asohnu ham chung'a khut alha'a athikhah a ahile, soh neipa chu thina chang ding ahiye.”
And when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall, surely be 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, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
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.”
And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through 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.”
But, if 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.
brand for brand, wound for wound, —stripe for stripe.
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, when a man smiteth the eye of his servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and destroyeth it, he shall send him forth, free, for 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.”
or, if, the tooth of his servant or the tooth of his handmaid, he knock out, he shall send him forth, free, for 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.
And when an ox goreth a man or a woman, and death ensueth, the ox shall, surely be stoned and his flesh shall not be eaten, and 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, was wont to gore before that time and it hath been attested to his owner, and he hath not proceeded to put him under guard, and he causeth the death of man or woman, the ox, shall be stoned, and, his owner also, shall 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.”
If, a sin-covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be laid on 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, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to 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, a servant the ox gore, or a handmaid, thirty shekels of silver, shall he give to his lord, 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 when a man openeth a pit, or when a man diggeth a pit, and doth not cover it, —and there falleth thereinto an ox or an ass,
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, silver, shall he pay back to 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 when the ox of one man thrusteth the ox of his neighbour so that it dieth, then shall they sell the live ox and divide the silver thereof, and the dead ox also, shall they 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.”
Or if it was known that, an ox, was, wont to gore, before that time, and his owner proceeded not to put him under guard, he shall surely make good, —an ox for the ox, and, the dead one, shall be his.
