2 Mojžišova 21
1 Tito jsou pak soudové, kteréž jim předložíš:
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 Jestliže koupíš k službě Žida, šest let sloužiti bude, a sedmého odejde svobodný darmo.
If thou shalt buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
3 Přišel-li by sám toliko, sám také odejde; pakli měl ženu, vyjde s ním i žena jeho.
If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
4 Jestliže pán jeho dá mu ženu, a ona zrodí jemu syny neb dcery: žena ta i děti její budou pána jeho, on pak sám toliko odejde.
If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall depart by himself.
5 Pakli by řekl služebník: Miluji pána svého, manželku svou a syny své, nevyjdu svobodný:
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free:
6 Tedy postaví ho pán jeho před soudci, a přivede ho ke dveřím neb k veřeji, a probodne pán jeho ucho jemu špicí; i zůstaneť služebníkem jeho na věky.
Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
7 Když by pak prodal někdo dceru svou, aby byla děvkou, nevyjdeť tak, jako vycházejí služebníci.
And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not depart as the male slaves do.
8 Nelíbila-li by se pánu svému, kterýž jí sobě ještě nezasnoubil, dopustí ji vyplatiti. Lidu cizímu nebude míti práva prodati ji, poněvadž zhřešil proti ní.
If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Pakli by synu svému ji zasnoubil, učiníť jí tak, jakž obyčej jest činiti dcerám.
And if he hath betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 A dal-li by mu jinou, z stravy její, oděvu jejího, a přívětivosti manželské nic této neujme.
If he shall take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 Neudělal-li by nic z toho trojího, vyjde darmo bez stříbra.
And if he shall not perform these three things for her, then shall she depart free without money.
12 Kdo by ubil člověka, až by od toho umřel, smrtí umře.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13 Když by pak neukládal o bezživotí jeho, než Bůh dal by jej v ruce jeho: tedy uložím tobě místo, do něhož by takový mohl uteci.
And if a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee.
14 Pakli by kdo tak pyšně sobě počínal proti bližnímu svému, že by ho lstivě zabil, i od oltáře mého odtrhneš jej, aby umřel.
But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 Kdo by otce svého neb matku svou bil, smrtí ať umře.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 Kdo by pak, ukradna někoho, prodal jej, a nalezen by byl v ruce jeho, smrtí ať umře.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 I ten, kdož by zlořečil otci svému neb mateři své, smrtí ať umře.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 Když by se svadili muži, a urazil by který bližního svého kamenem neb pěstí, a ten by neumřel, než složil se na lůži;
And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he shall not die, but keepeth to his bed:
19 A potom by povstal a chodil vně o holi své: již nebude vinen ten, kdož urazil; toliko co zatím obmeškal, to jemu nahradí, a na vyhojení jeho naloží.
If he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be clear: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 Když by pak ubil kdo služebníka svého neb děvku svou kyjem, tak že by umřel mu v ruce jeho: pomstou pomštěno bude nad takovým.
And if a man shall smite his male or female servant, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 A však jestliže by den neb dva přečkal, neponese pomsty, nebo jej zaplatil.
However, if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22 Když by se svadili muži, a urazili ženu těhotnou, tak že by vyšel z ní plod její, však by se zhouba nestala: pokutován bude, jakž by uložil naň muž té ženy, a dá vedlé uznání soudců.
If men shall contend, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit shall depart from her, and yet no harm follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 Pakliť by smrt přišla, tedy dáš život za život,
And if any harm shall follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Spáleninu za spáleninu, ránu za ránu, modřinu za modřinu.
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 Jestliže by kdo urazil služebníka svého v oko, aneb děvku svou v oko, tak že by jej o ně připravil: svobodného jej propustí za oko jeho.
And if a man shall smite the eye of his male servant, or the eye of his female servant, that it shall perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 Pakli by zub služebníku svému neb zub děvce své vyrazil, svobodného jej propustí za zub jeho.
And if he shall smite out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 Jestliže by vůl utrkl muže neb ženu, tak že by umřel člověk: ukamenován bude ten vůl, aniž jedeno bude maso jeho, však pán vola toho bez viny bude.
If an ox shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear.
29 Než byl-liť by vůl trkavý prvé, a bylo by to osvědčeno pánu jeho, on pak nezavřel by ho, a v tom zabil by muže neb ženu: vůl ten ukamenován bude, a pán jeho také umře.
But if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not restrained him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 Pakliť mu bude uloženo, aby se vyplatil: tedy dá výplatu za život svůj, jakážkoli na něj uložena bude.
If there shall be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
31 Buď že by syna utrkl, buď dceru, podlé soudu toho stane se jemu.
Whether he hath gored a son, or hath gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
32 Jestliže by služebníka vůl ztrkal neb děvku, třidceti lotů stříbra dá pánu jeho, a vůl ten bude ukamenován.
If the ox shall push a male or female servant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 Kdyby kdo odhradil studnici, a neb vykopal někdo studnici, a zase jí nepřikryl, a vpadl by tam vůl neb osel:
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or a donkey shall fall into it;
34 Pán té studnice nahradí to, a peníze položí pánu jeho, a což se zabilo, to sobě míti bude.
The owner of the pit shall make payment, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35 A ustrčil-li by vůl něčí vola sousedova, že byl umřel: tedy prodadí vola toho živého, a podělí se penězi jeho; i s zabitým volem také se rozdělí.
And if one man’s ox shall hurt another’s, that he shall die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 Pakli vědíno bylo, že vůl byl trkavý prvé, a nezavřel ho pán jeho: bez výmluvy ať dá vola za vola, a zabitý ať mu zůstane.
Or if it shall be known that the ox was accustomed to push in time past, and his owner hath not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
