Exodus 21
1 Now these are the ordinances which thou shall set before them.
Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Si ou achte yon esklav Ebre, li va sèvi pou sizane, men nan setyèm ane a li va sòti tankou yon moun lib san peye frè.
3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Si li antre li sèl li, li va sòti sèl. Si se mari a yon madanm, alò, madanm nan va sòti avè l.
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her sons shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
Si mèt li bay li yon madanm, e li fè fis oswa fi pou li, madanm nan avèk pitit li yo va rete pou mèt li, e li va sòti sèl.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons, I will not go out free,
Men si esklav la di byen klè: “Mwen renmen mèt mwen, madanm mwen, ak pitit mwen yo; mwen p ap sòti tankou moun lib,”
6 then his master shall bring him to God, 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 serve him forever.
alò, mèt li va mennen li devan Bondye, e apre li va mennen li vè pòt la, oswa chanbrann pòt la. Epi konsa, mèt li va pèse zòrèy li avèk yon pwenson, e li va sèvi li nèt jis pou tout tan.
7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
8 If she does not please her master, who has espoused her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no power to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Si li vin degoutan nan zye mèt li ki te anvizaje li pou li menm, alò, li va kite li ransone. Li pa gen otorite pou vann li a yon pèp etranje, akoz sa li fè pa jis.
9 And if he espouses her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.
Si li ta dezinye l pou marye ak fis li, li va trete li selon koutim pwòp fi li yo.
10 If he takes him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.
Si li ta vin pran pou li menm yon lòt fanm, li pa ka redwi manje li, vètman li, ni dwa konjigal li.
11 And if he does not do these three things to her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.
Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
12 He who smites a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
Sila ki frape yon mesye pou li mouri va vrèman mete a lanmò.
13 And if a man does not lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand, then I will appoint for thee a place where he shall flee.
Men si sa pa t rive pa eksprè nan anbiskad, men Bondye kite sa rive, alò, Mwen va chwazi yon kote pou li kapab sove ale.
14 And if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to kill him with guile, thou shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
Si, alò, yon mesye aji avèk mechanste kont vwazen li, pou l kab touye li nan koken, ou va pran li menm si se sou lotèl la, pou li kapab mouri.
15 And he who smites his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Sila ki frape papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
16 And he who steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Sila ki kidnape yon nonm, oswa ke li vann li, oswa yo twouve li nan posesyon li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
17 And he who curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Sila ki modi papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
18 And if men contend, and one smites the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he does not die, but keeps his bed,
Si de mesye gen yon kont e youn frape lòt la avèk yon wòch, oswa avèk pwen li, e li pa mouri, men l pa ka leve sou kabann li,
19 if he rises again, and walks abroad upon his staff, then he who smote him shall be acquitted. Only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
si li ta leve mache deyò, malgre asistans baton li, alò, sila ki te frape li a va rete san pinisyon. Li va peye sèlman pou tan ke li pèdi a, e li va kontinye okipe li jis lè li fin geri nèt.
20 And if a man smites his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
Si yon mesye frape esklav li, kit mal kit femèl, avèk yon baton, epi li vin mouri nan men l, li va pini.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.
Malgre sa, si li leve apre youn oswa de jou, li p ap pini, pwiske sèvitè a se pwòp byen li ke li ye.
22 And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him, and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Si de mesye vin lite youn avèk lòt, yo frape yon fanm ansent e li vin akouche avan lè, men pa gen lòt pwoblèm, li va peye yon amann jan mari a fanm nan kapab mande li, e li va peye li selon desizyon jij yo.
23 But if any harm follows, then thou shall give life for life,
Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
zye pou zye, dan pou dan, men pou men, pye pou pye,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
brile pou brile, blese pou blese, brize pou brize.
26 And if a man smites the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
Si yon mesye frape zye esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, e li pèdi zye a, li va bay li libète akoz pèt zye a.
27 And if he knocks out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
Si li kraze fè pèt a yon dan esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, li va ba li libète akoz dan an.
28 And if an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted.
Si yon bèf frennen yon mesye oswa yon fanm avèk kòn li, pou l mouri, bèf la va vrèman lapide jiskaske li mouri, e chè li p ap manje; men mèt bèf la p ap pini.
29 But if the ox was accustomed to gore in time past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
Men si yon bèf te deja gen abitid frennen moun e mèt li te avèti deja, men li pa t okipe sa, e li vin touye yon mesye oswa yon fanm, bèf la va lapide, e mèt li anplis va mete a lanmò.
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Si yon aman ranson vin enpoze pou konsève lavi l, nenpòt sa yo mande, li va peye l,
31 Whether it has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Si se yon fis oswa si se yon fi ke li frennen, l ap fèt menm jan selon menm règ la.
32 If the ox gores a man-servant or a maid-servant, there shall be given to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Si bèf la frennen yon mal oswa yon femèl esklav, mèt la va bay mèt li trant sik lajan, e bèf la va lapide.
33 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 falls in it,
Si yon mesye ouvri yon fòs, oswa fouye yon fòs e li pa kouvri li, yon bèf, oswa yon bourik tonbe ladann,
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to the owner of it, and the dead beast shall be his.
mèt fòs la va bay rekonpans. Li va bay lajan a mèt li, e bèt mouri a va vin pou li.
35 And if one man's ox hurts another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it, and the dead they shall also divide.
Si bèf a yon mesye vin donmaje bèf a yon lòt, e li mouri, alò yo va vann bèf vivan an e divize pri li mwatye pou yo chak; epi osi yo va divize bèt mouri an.
36 Or if it be known that the ox was accustomed to gore in time past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own.
Men, si li te deja rekonèt ke bèf la te gen abitid frennen, men mèt li pa t okipe sa, li va vrèman peye bèt pou bèt, e bèt mouri an va vin pou li.
