Exodus 21
1 Now these are the ordinances which thou shall set before them.
“Seerawwan ati isaan dura keessu kanneenii dha:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
“Ati yoo Ibroota keessaa garbicha bitatte inni waggaa jaʼa siif haa hojjetu. Waggaa torbaffaatti garuu inni kaffaltii malee bilisa haa baʼu.
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.
Inni yoo kophaa isaa dhufee jiraate kophaa isaa bilisoomee haa deemu; yeroo dhufutti inni yoo niitii qabaate isheenis isa wajjin haa deemtu.
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.
Yoo gooftaan isaa niitii isa fuusisee isheenis ilmaan yookaan intallan deesseefii jiraatte, ishee fi ijoolleen ishee kan gooftaa ishee taʼu; namichi qofti bilisa taʼee haa deemu.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons, I will not go out free,
“Garuu garbichi sun, ‘Ani gooftaa koo fi niitii koo, ijoollee koos nan jaalladha; ani bilisa baʼee deemuu hin barbaadu’ yoo jedhe,
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.
gooftaan isaa fuula abbootii murtii duratti isa haa dhiʼeessu; gara balbalaatti yookaan gara michichila balbalaatti geessees mutaadhaan gurra isaa haa uru. Ergasii inni bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa tajaajila.
7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
“Namni yoo intala isaa akka garbittiitti gurgurate, isheen akka garbichi tokko itti bilisa baʼutti bilisa hin baʼin.
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.
Yoo isheen goofticha ofii isaatiif ishee filate sanatti toluu baatte inni akka isheen furamtuu haa godhu. Inni waan isheef amanamuu dhabeef dabarsee ormatti ishee gurguruuf mirga hin qabu.
9 And if he espouses her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.
Yoo ilma isaatiif ishee filate immoo mirga intala ofii isaatiif kennu isheefis haa kennu.
10 If he takes him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.
Yoo niitii biraa fuudhe immoo niitii isaa kan jalqabaa sana nyaata, uffataa fi mirga niitiif malu itti hin hirʼisin.
11 And if he does not do these three things to her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.
Yoo inni wantoota sadan kanneen isheef gochuu dide garuu isheen kaffaltii maallaqaa tokko malee bilisa baʼuu qabdi.
12 He who smites a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
“Namni nama rukutee ajjeesu innis haa ajjeefamu.
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.
Inni riphee utuu hin eeggatin Waaqatu harka isaa buuse yoo taʼe garuu iddoo ani ramadutti haa baqatu.
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.
Garuu yoo namni tokko ittuma yaadee dabaan nama ajjeese iddoo aarsaa koo biraa fuudhaatii ajjeesaa.
15 And he who smites his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
“Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa rukutu haa ajjeefamu.
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.
“Namni nama hatee yoo gurgurate yookaan namichi hatame sun harka isaatti yoo argame hattichi haa ajjeefamu.
17 And he who curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
“Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu haa ajjeefamu.
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,
“Yoo namoonni wal lolanii inni tokko isa kaan dhagaadhaan yookaan abootteedhaan rukutee namichi rukutame sun duʼuu baatee garuu siree irratti hafe,
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.
ergasii immoo yoo inni kaʼee ulee isaa dhadhaabachaa asii fi achi ala keessa deddeeme namichi isa dhaʼe sun itti hin gaafatamu; sababii yeroo namicha miidhame sanaa jalaa balleesseef garuu gatii haa baasu; hamma inni guutumaan guutuutti fayyuttis isa haa walʼaanu.
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.
“Yoo namni tokko uleedhaan garbicha isaa yookaan garbittii isaa dhaʼee garbichi sunis harka isaatti duʼe namichi haa adabamu;
21 Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.
garuu sababii garbichi sun qabeenya isaa taʼeef yoo garbichi sun bultii tokko yookaan bultii lama booddee kaʼe, namichi hin adabamu.
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.
“Yoo namoonni wal lolaa jiran dubartii ulfoofte tokkotti buʼanii ulfii garaadhaa baʼee garuu miidhamni hamaan ishee hin qaqqabin, namichi ishee miidhe sun waan dhirsi dubartittii isa gaafatee fi waan abbootiin murtii murteessan baasuu qaba.
23 But if any harm follows, then thou shall give life for life,
Yoo miidhamni hamaan jiraate garuu, qooda lubbuu, lubbuu;
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii, ilkaan; qooda harkaa, harka; qooda miillaa, miilla;
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
qooda gubuu, gubuu; qooda madaa, madaa; qooda buruqsuu, buruqsuu baafta.
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.
“Namni tokko yoo ija garbicha isaa yookaan ija garbittii isaa rukutee jaamse, inni qooda ija sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
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.
Inni yoo ilkaan garbicha isaa yookaan ilkaan garbittii isaa rukutee cabse, qooda ilkaan sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
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.
“Qotiyyoon tokko yoo dhiira yookaan dubartii waraanee ajjeese qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan tumamee haa ajjeefamu; foon isaas hin nyaatamin. Garuu abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa itti hin gaafatamu.
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.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala nama waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee abbaan isaas akka isa eeggatu gorfamee garuu waan inni isa eeggachuu dideef qotiyyoon sun dhiira yookaan dubartii ajjeese, qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu; abbaan qotiyyoo sanaas haa ajjeefamu.
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Taʼus inni yoo gumaa gaafatame waan gaafatame hunda kaffalee lubbuu isaa haa oolfatu.
31 Whether it has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun ilma yookaan intala tokko waraane illee seeruma kanatu hojjeta.
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.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun garbicha yookaan garbittii waraane abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa gooftaa garba sanaatiif meetii saqilii soddoma haa kaffalu; qotiyyoon sunis dhagaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu.
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,
“Namni tokko yoo boolla afaan banaa dhiise yookaan yoo boolla qotee utuu hin duuchin dhiisee sangaan yookaan harreen boolla sana keessa buʼe,
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.
abbaan boolla sanaa abbaa horii sanaatiif maallaqa haa baasu; horiin duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
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.
“Yoo qotiyyoon nama tokkoo qotiyyoo nama biraa miidhee duʼaan gaʼe jarri qotiyyoo fayyaa sana haa gurgurani; gatii qotiyyoo sanaatii fi qotiyyoo duʼe sana qixxeetti haa qooddatani.
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.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala horii waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee garuu waan abbaan isaa isa eeggachuu dideef abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa qooda qotiyyoo, qotiyyoo haa baasu; qotiyyoon duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
