Exodus 21
1 “These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
“Sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel:
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
Kom fin moli sie mukul Hebrew in sie mwet kohs lom, el ac orekma nu sum ke yac onkosr. Ke yac se akitkosr, kom fah aksukosokyalla ac el tia enenu in moli kutena ma nu sum.
3 If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
El fin tia mwet payuk se ke el mutawauk in kulansap nu sum, el fah tia eis mutan kial welul ke pacl se el ac som. Tusruktu el fin payuk tari ke pacl se el mutawauk in kulansupwekom, el ku in us mutan kial welul.
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
Mwet kacto lal fin sang sie mutan kial ac mutan sac el oswela wen ku acn, na mutan sac ac tulik natul eltal ma na lun mwet kacto lal, na mukul sac fah mukena som.
5 But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin akkalemye lah el lungse mwet kacto lal ac mutan kial ac tulik natul, ac el tia lungse in sukosokla
6 then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
na mwet kacto lal uh fah usal som nu ke nien alu nu sin God. El ac fah oru tuh mwet kohs sac in tu ke srungul uh ku ke sukan srungul uh, ac putala sie pat ah ke insracl. Na mukul sac fah mwet kohs lal ke lusenna moul lal.
7 And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
Sie mukul fin kukakin acn natul tuh elan sie mutan kohs, mutan sac fah tia ku in aksukosokyeyuk oana mukul kohs uh.
8 If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
El fin kukakinyukla nu sin sie mukul su nunku mu el ac payuk sel, a tok el tia insewowo sel, na mukul sac el fah sifilpa kukakunulang nu sin papa tumal. El tia ku in kukakunulla nu sin mwetsac, mweyen mwet kacto sac el tuh tia akfalye wulela lal.
9 And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
Sie mukul fin moli sie mutan kohs in sang nu sin wen natul, el enenu in oru nu sel oana sie acn natul.
10 If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
Mukul se fin eis sie mutan tuh in mutan akluo kial, el tia enenu in aksrikyela ma el sang nu sin mutan se meet kial ke mwe mongo, nuknuk, ac suwohs lun payuk lal.
11 If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
Mukul sac el fin tia akfalye ma tolu inge nu sin mutan se meet ah, el enenu in fuhlella elan sukosokla, ac tia eis kutena mwe moul.
12 Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
“Kutena mwet su puokya sie mwet ac unilya, el ac fah anwuki.
13 If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
Tusruktu fin ma ongla ouiya se, ac tia ma el oru in unilya se, el ku in kaingla nu yen se su nga fah fahkak nu sum, ac el fah ku in muta in misla we.
14 But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
Tusruktu mwet se fin foloyak ac uniya sie pac mwet ke el oru na in oaya, na in anwuki el, el finne kaing nwe ke loang luk in molella.
15 Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
“Kutena mwet su puokya papa tumal ku nina kial fah anwuki.
16 Whoever kidnaps another man must be put to death, whether he sells him or the man is found in his possession.
“Kutena mwet su pisrala sie mwet, finne in kukakunulla ku in sruokilya tuh elan mwet kohs se lal, el ac fah anwuki.
17 Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
“Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial, el ac fah anwuki.
18 If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
“Fin oasr sie alein ac sie mwet ah srukak eot se tukya mwet se ngia ku fiskilya, ac mwet sac tiana misa a el oanna maskin,
19 then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
na ac wangin mwatan mwet se ma oru ah. Tok ke mwet mas sac tukakek ac fahsr likinuma ke sikal lal, na mwet se ma puokilya ah enenu in moli ke pacl el sisla in mas lal, ac liyalang nwe ke el kwela.
20 If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
“Sie mwet kacto fin srukak sak soko ac uni mwet kohs lal, mukul ku mutan, ac mwet kohs sac misa na in sac, enenu na in oasr kai nu sin mwet kacto sac.
21 However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property.
Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin tia misa ke len se ku luo, mwet kacto sac tia enenu in kaiyuk, mweyen mwet kohs sac el oaoa in sie kufwen mwe orekma lun mwet kacto sac.
22 If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
“Fin oasr mwet anwuk twe sun sie mutan pitutu, oru tulik natul putatla tusruk wangin pac acn musalla ke mutan sac, mwet se ma pwanang ma sikyak nu sel fah moli lupa se na ma mukul tumal el pakiya, fin akkeyeyukla sin mwet nununku.
23 But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
Tuh mutan sac fin oasr pac acn musalla kacl, kaiyuk nu kac uh pa moul molin moul,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, po molin po, nia molin nia,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
folla molin folla, kinet molin kinet, futun molin futun.
26 If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.
“Sie mwet kacto fin fiskiya atronmutun mukul ku mutan kohs lal ac pusisla, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokyela mwet kohs sac in sang moli atronmutal.
27 And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
Sie mwet kacto fin fuskela soko wihsen mwet kol lal, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokye mwet kohs sac in sang moli wihs soko ah.
28 If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.
“Soko cow mukul fin fakisya sie mwet in misa, cow soko enenu in tatngal nwe ke misa, ac ikwal ac tia mongo, ac mwet se natu ah fah tia kaiyuk.
29 But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.
Tusruk cow mukul soko ah fin pahlana in fakfuk mwet, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet se natu ah a el tiana kalilya in kalkal — na cow soko ah fin fakisya mwet se in misa, el ac fah tungalyuk nwe ke el misa, ac mwet se natu fah anwuki pac.
30 If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.
Tusruktu, fin wotyang nu sin mwet se natu ah sie lupan mani elan moli in molela moul lal, na el enenu in molela nufonna lupa sac.
31 If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule.
Cow mukul soko uh fin uniya tulik mukul se ku tulik mutan se, ma sap sacna pa ac orekmakinyuk nu kac.
32 If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
Cow mukul soko ah fin uniya sie mwet kohs, mukul ku mutan, mwet se natu cow soko ah fah moli nu sin mwet se la mwet kohs sac ke ipin silver tolngoul, ac cow soko ah fah tatngal nwe ke misa.
33 If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
“Mwet se fin eisla afyuf ke sie luf, ku el fin pikin sie luf ac tia afinya, ac soko cow mukul ku soko donkey putatyang nu loac,
34 the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.
el enenu in moli kosro soko ah. El ac fah moli nu sin mwet se natu, ac kosro misa soko ah fah ma lal.
35 If a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal.
Fin cow mukul soko nutin mwet se uniya cow mukul soko nutin siena mwet, mukul luo ac fah kukakunla cow soko ma moul ah, ac kitalik mani sac. Eltal fah kitalik pac ikwen cow mukul misa soko ah.
36 But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
Tusruktu fin eteyuk lah cow mukul soko inge lungsena anwuk, ac mwet se natu ah tiana kalsalak, el enenu in sang soko cow mukul ma moul in akfalye nu sin mwet se natu cow soko ma misa ah.
