Exodus 21
1 Now these are the laws which you are to put before them.
“अब तैँले तिनीहरूका सामु राख्ने आदेशहरू यी नै हुन्:
2 If you get a Hebrew servant for money, he is to be your servant for six years, and in the seventh year you are to let him go free without payment.
तिमीहरूले हिब्रू कमारा किन्यौ भने त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नुपर्छ, र सातौँ वर्षमा केही नतिरी त्यो मुक्त हुनेछ ।
3 If he comes to you by himself, let him go away by himself: if he is married, let his wife go away with him.
त्यो एक्लै आएको हो भने त्यो एक्लै जाओस् । त्यो विवाहित हो भने त्यो आफ्नी पत्नीसँगै जाओस् ।
4 If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master, and the servant is to go away by himself.
त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई पत्नी दिएका भए र त्यसले पतिको निम्ति छोराछोरीहरू जन्माएकी भए पत्नी र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू मालिकको हुनेछन्, तर पतिचाहिँ मुक्त हुनेछ ।
5 But if the servant says clearly, My master and my wife and children are dear to me; I have no desire to be free:
तर कमाराले सफासँग “म मेरा मालिक, मेरी पत्नी र मेरा छोराछोरीलाई प्रेम गर्छु; म मुक्त भएर जान्नँ”
6 Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever.
भन्यो भने त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई परमेश्वरको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ । मालिकले त्यसलाई ढोका वा ढोकाको सङ्घारमा ल्याई त्यसको कान सुतारोले छेडिदिनुपर्छ । तब त्यस कमाराले जीवनभर मालिकको सेवा गर्नेछ ।
7 And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नी छोरीलाई कमारीको रूपमा बेच्यो भने कमाराहरूजस्तै त्यो मुक्त भएर जानुहुँदैन ।
8 If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her.
त्यसले आफ्ना मालिकलाई खुसी पारिन भने त्यसलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाइयोस् । त्यसलाई परदेशीकहाँ बेच्ने अधिकार मालिकलाई हुँदैन । मालिकले त्यसलाई छलपूर्वक व्यवहार गरेकोले त्योसित त्यस्तो अधिकार हुँदैन ।
9 And if he gives her to his son, he is to do everything for her as if she was his daughter.
मालिकले त्यसलाई आफ्नो छोरोकी पत्नी हुन दियो भने त्यसलाई आफ्नी छोरीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गरोस् ।
10 And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less.
त्यसले आफ्नो लागि अर्की पत्नी ल्यायो भने त्यसले खानेकुरा, लुगाफाटा वा त्यसका वैवाहिक अधिकारहरू पुरा गर्नबाट नचुकोस् ।
11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment.
तर त्यसले पत्नीलाई यी तिनवटा कुरा उपलब्ध गराएन भने दाम नतिरीकनै त्यो मुक्त भएर जान सक्छे ।
12 He who gives a man a death-blow is himself to be put to death.
कसैले कुनै मानिसलाई मर्ने गरी हिर्कायो भने त्यसलाई निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
13 But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight.
त्यसले जानाजानी यसो नगरी भवितव्य पर्न गएको रहेछ भने म त्यो भागेर जान सक्ने ठाउँ तोकिदिनेछु ।
14 But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death.
कुनै मानिसले जानाजानी आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आक्रमण गरी धूर्त योजनामुताबिक मार्यो भने त्यो परमेश्वरको वेदीमा भए तापनि त्यसलाई मार्नलाई लगियोस् ।
15 Any man who gives a blow to his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई हिर्काउने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
16 Any man who gets another into his power in order to get a price for him is to be put to death, if you take him in the act.
जसले कुनै व्यक्तिलाई अपहरण गरी त्यसले उसलाई बेच्यो वा पक्रिँदा त्यसकै हातमा फेला पर्यो भने अपहरणकारीलाई मारिनैपर्छ ।
17 Any man cursing his father or his mother is to be put to death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई सराप्ने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
18 If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed;
मानिसहरू एक-अर्कासित झगडा गर्दा एउटाले अर्कोलाई ढुङ्गाले वा मुक्काले हिर्कायो र त्यो व्यक्ति नमरी ओछ्यान पर्यो
19 If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well.
र त्यो फेरि उठेर आफ्नो लट्ठीको सहायताले यताउता हिँड्न सक्यो भने हिर्काउनेले त्यसको समयको हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले ऊ पूर्ण निको नभएसम्म सबै खर्च पनि दिनुपर्छ । तर त्यो मानिस हत्याको दोषी भने हुँदैन ।
20 If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीलाई लट्ठीले हिर्काउँदा मुक्का लागेर मर्यो भने त्यस मानिसलाई निश्चय नै दण्ड दिइनुपर्छ ।
21 But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.
तर त्यो एक-दुई दिनसम्म बाँच्यो भने मालिकलाई दण्ड दिइनुहुँदैन किनकि उसले नोकरको क्षति भोग्नेछ ।
22 If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges.
मानिसहरू सँगसँगै झगडा गर्दा गर्भवती महिलालाई हानि पुगी त्यसको बच्चा तुहियो तर त्यो आफैलाई कुनै चोट लागेन भने त्यस स्त्रीको पतिले मागेबमोजिम दोषी मानिसलाई हर्जाना तिराइनुपर्छ, र न्यायकर्ताहरूले तोकेबमोजिम त्यसले तिर्नुपर्छ ।
23 But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,
तर गम्भीर चोट लागेको रहेछ भने त्यस मानिसलाई प्राणको सट्टा प्राण
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
आँखाको सट्टा आँखा, दाँतको सट्टा दाँत, हातको सट्टा हात, खुट्टाको सट्टा खुट्टा
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow.
डामको सट्टा डाम, चोटको सट्टा चोट र कुटाइको सट्टा कुटाइ मिलोस् ।
26 If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant a blow in the eye, causing its destruction, he is to let him go free on account of the damage to his eye.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको आँखामा हिर्काएर त्यसलाई नष्ट गरिदियो भने उसले आँखाको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
27 Or if the loss of a tooth is caused by his blow, he will let him go free on account of his tooth.
उसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको दाँत निकालिदियो भने उसले दाँतको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
28 If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible.
कुनै गोरुले पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई सिङले हानेर मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ, र त्यसको मासु खाइनुहुँदैन ।
29 But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death.
तर गोरुको मालिकचाहिँ निर्दोष होस् । तर गोरुको विगतमा हान्ने बानी थियो र त्यसको मालिकलाई यसबारे चेताउनी दिँदा पनि उसले बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ र गोरुले पुरुष वा महिलालाई मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनैपर्छ र त्यसको मालिकलाई पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।
30 If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed.
त्यसको जीवनको लागि कुनै मूल्य माग गरिएको छ भने मागेजति मालिकले दिनुपर्छ ।
31 If the death of a son or of a daughter has been caused, the punishment is to be in agreement with this rule.
गोरुले कुनै मानिसको छोरो वा छोरीलाई हानेको छ भने त्यसको मालिकले नियमअनुसार तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
32 If the death of a man-servant or of a woman-servant is caused by the ox, the owner is to give their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox is to be stoned.
गोरुले कमारा वा कमारीलाई हान्यो भने त्यसको मालिकले चाँदीको तिस सिक्का देओस् र गोरुलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारियोस् ।
33 If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death;
कुनै मानिसले खाडललाई उदाङ्गै राख्यो वा त्यसले खाडल खनेर त्यसलाई ढाकेन र त्यसभित्र गोरु वा गधा खस्यो भने
34 The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his.
खाडल खन्नेले हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले मृत पशुको मालिकलाई रुपियाँ तिर्नपर्छ र त्यो मरेको पशु त्यसको हुनेछ ।
35 And if one man's ox does damage to another man's ox, causing its death, then the living ox is to be exchanged for money, and division made of the price of it, and of the price of the dead one.
एउटा मान्छेको गोरुले अर्को मान्छेको गोरुलाई चोट पुर्याएर त्यो मर्यो भने त्यसले जिउँदो गोरुलाई बेची तिनीहरूले त्यसको मूल्य बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले मरेको गोरुलाई पनि बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 But if it is common knowledge that the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and its owner has not kept it under control, he will have to give ox for ox; and the dead beast will be his.
तर त्यस गोरुको विगतमा पनि हान्ने बानी रहेछ र त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ भनी थाहा हुन आयो उसले गोरुको सट्टा गोरु तिर्नुपर्छ अनि मरेको पशु त्यसको मालिकको हुनेछ ।
