Exodus 21
1 Now these are the ordinances which thou shall set before them.
Torej to so sodbe, ki jih boš postavil prednje.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Če kupiš hebrejskega služabnika, naj ti služi šest let. V sedmem letu pa naj odide prost, brez plačila.
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.
Če je sam prišel, naj sam odide. Če je bil poročen, potem naj njegova žena odide z njim.
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.
Če mu je njegov gospodar dal ženo in mu je rodila sinove ali hčere, naj bodo žena in njeni otroci [od] njegovega gospodarja, on pa naj odide sam.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons, I will not go out free,
Če mu bo služabnik jasno rekel: ›Ljubim svojega gospodarja, svojo ženo in svoje otroke; ne bom odšel svoboden, ‹
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.
potem naj ga njegov gospodar privede k sodnikom. Prav tako naj ga privede k vratom ali k podboju in njegov gospodar naj njegovo uho prebode s šilom, on pa naj mu za vedno služi.
7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
Če človek proda svojo hčer, da postane dekla, naj ona ne odide, kakor storijo služabniki.
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.
Če ne ugaja svojemu gospodarju, ki si jo je zaročil, tedaj naj bo odkupljena. Ne bo imel oblasti, da jo proda v tuj narod, glede na to, da je z njo ravnal varljivo.
9 And if he espouses her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.
Če jo je zaročil svojemu sinu, naj z njo postopa po načinu hčera.
10 If he takes him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.
Če si vzame drugo ženo, naj njene hrane, njenega oblačila in njene zakonske dolžnosti ne zmanjša.
11 And if he does not do these three things to her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.
Če ji ne stori teh treh stvari, potem naj ta odide ven prosta, brez denarja.
12 He who smites a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
Kdor udarja človeka, tako da umre, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
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.
Če človek ne preži nanj, temveč ga Bog izroči v njegovo roko, potem bom določil kraj, kamor naj zbeži.
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.
Toda če pride človek prepotentno nad svojega bližnjega, da ga z zvijačo ubije, ga odvedi od mojega oltarja, da lahko umre.
15 And he who smites his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Kdor udarja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
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.
Kdor ugrabi človeka in ga prodaja ali če je le-ta najden v njegovi roki, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
17 And he who curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Kdor preklinja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
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,
Če se moža skupaj prepirata in je eden udaril drugega s kamnom ali s svojo pestjo, pa ta ne umre, temveč se drži svoje postelje;
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.
če ta ponovno vstane in hodi okoli na svoji palici, potem naj bo tisti, ki ga je udaril, oproščen. Samo plačal mu bo za izgubo njegovega časa in poskrbel bo, da bo temeljito ozdravljen.
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.
Če človek udari svojega služabnika ali svojo služabnico s palico in le-ta pod njegovo roko umre, naj bo zagotovo kaznovan.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.
Vendar če preživi dan ali dva, naj ne bo kaznovan, kajti on je njegov denar.
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.
Če se moža prepirata in poškodujeta nosečnico, tako da njen sad odide od nje in ne sledi nobena škoda, naj bo ta zagotovo kaznovan glede na to, kakor mu naloži ženin soprog. Plača naj, kakor mu bodo določili sodniki.
23 But if any harm follows, then thou shall give life for life,
Če sledi katerakoli nesreča, potem boš dal življenje za življenje,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
oko za oko, zob za zob, roko za roko, stopalo za stopalo,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
opeklino za opeklino, rano za rano, udarec z bičem za udarec z bičem.
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.
Če človek udari oko svojega služabnika ali oko svoje služabnice, da le-ta propade, naj ga pusti oditi svobodnega zaradi njegovega očesa.
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.
Če svojemu slugi izbije zob ali zob svoji dekli, naj ga pusti oditi prostega zaradi njegovega zoba.
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.
Če vol zabode moškega ali žensko, da umreta, potem naj bo vol zagotovo kamnan in njegovo meso naj se ne jé, toda lastnik vola naj bo oproščen.
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.
Toda če je imel vol navado, da je s svojim rogom bodel v preteklem času in je bilo to pričevano njegovemu lastniku, pa ga ta ni držal zaprtega, temveč da je usmrtil moškega ali žensko, naj bo vol kamnan in tudi njegov lastnik naj bo usmrčen.
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Če mu bo naložena vsota denarja, potem naj da za odkupnino svojega življenja, karkoli mu bo naloženo.
31 Whether it has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Če je nabodel sina ali nabodel hčer, naj mu bo storjeno glede na to sodbo.
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.
Če bo vol pobodel sluga ali deklo, naj njihovemu gospodarju da trideset šeklov srebra, vol pa naj bo kamnan.
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,
Če bo človek odprl jamo ali če bo človek izkopal jamo in je ne bo pokril in vanjo pade vol ali osel,
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.
naj lastnik jame to dobro naredi in da denar lastniku le-teh; mrtva žival pa naj bo njegova.
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.
Če pa vol nekega človeka poškoduje drugega, da ta umre, potem naj prodajo živega vola in razdelijo denar od njega; in prav tako naj razdelijo mrtvega vola.
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.
Ali če je bilo znano, da je imel vol navado v preteklem času bosti, pa ga njegov lastnik ni imel zaprtega, naj zagotovo plača vola za vola, mrtvi pa naj bo njegov.
