Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.
BAWIPA nihai, nang ni Isarelnaw koe lawk na ceng hane teh,
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee, and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.
Hebru tami san lah na ran pawiteh, kum taruk touh dueng san lah na ta han. Kum sari a pha toteh ratang laipalah na hlout sak han.
3 If he should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.
Santoung nah tami buet touh dueng santoung pawiteh, buet touh dueng a tâco han. A yuvâ kahni touh hoi santoung pawiteh, a yu hoi cungtalah na tâco sak han.
4 Moreover, if his master give him a wife, and she have [born] him sons or daughters, the wife and the children shall be his master's; and he shall go forth alone.
Nahoeh pawiteh, a bawipa ni a yu a la pouh e awm pawiteh, hote a yu hoi canaw khe pawiteh, a yu hoi a canaw teh a bawipa ni a coe han. San teh ama dueng a tâco han.
5 And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;
Nahoeh pawiteh, san ni ka bawipa hoi ka yu ka canaw ka lungpataw, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh telah tet pawiteh,
6 his master shall bring him to the judgment-seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door, —to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
A bawipa ni Cathut hmalah thoseh, im takhang koe thoseh, a hnâ caphuem hoi a kavi pouh hnukkhu, hote san teh a yungyoe san lah ao han.
7 And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maid-servants depart.
A na pa ni a canu san lah yawt pawiteh, hote napui teh san tongpa patetlah hlout mahoeh.
8 If she be not pleasing to her master, after she has betrothed herself to him, he shall let her go free; but he is not at liberty to sell her to a foreign nation, because he has trifled with her.
A bawipa ni hote napui a la teh ngai hoehpawiteh, bout a ratang sak han. Ahni hah a dum dawkvah alouke miphunnaw koe yawt thai hoeh.
9 And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.
A capa hanlah lat boipawiteh, a canu patetlah a khetyawt han.
10 And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].
Alouke napui bout lat pawiteh, hmaloe a la e napui e khohna hoi a yu lah onae hah raphoe pouh mahoeh.
11 And if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free without money.
Hete hno kathum touh sak pouh hoehpawiteh, aphu het laipalah a hlout sak han.
12 And if any man smite another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.
Tami hem boi lah dout pawiteh ama hai a due roeroe han.
13 But as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his hands, I will give thee a place whither the slayer may flee.
Thei hanlah noenae awm laipalah Cathut ni a kut dawk hringnae poe boipawiteh, a yawng nahane hmuen hah na pouk pouh awh han.
14 And if any one lie in wait for his neighbour to slay him by craft, and he go for refuge, thou shalt take him from my altar to put him to death.
A imri thei hanlah noenae a tawn teh, ka tuk e tami teh ka khoungroe kângue nakunghai, sawn vaiteh thei roeroe han.
15 Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa ka hem e tami a due roeroe han.
16 He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.
Ka parawt e tami ni a paru e hno a yo nakunghai thoseh, a kut dawk kaawm nakunghai thoseh, thei lah ao roeroe han.
17 Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel, and prevail over him and sell him, and he be found with him, let him certainly die.
A manu hoi a na pa thoe ka bo e tami teh thei lah ao han.
18 And if two men revile each other and smite the one the other with a stone or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;
Tami hoi tami kâyue teh buet touh ni talung hoi a dêi nakunghai thoseh, a kut hoi a thâw nakunghai thoseh, hemnae ka khang e tami kadout hoeh nakunghai, ikhun dawk sut ka yan nakunghai thoseh,
19 if the man arise and walk abroad on his staff, he that smote him shall be clear; only he shall pay for his loss of time, and for his healing.
bout a thaw teh sonron hoi ka cet nakunghai thoseh, ka hem e tami han a yonnae ngaithoum han. Hatei, ka pataw e tami thaw a kamkak dawkvah, a dam nahan kâsatnae aphu a poe han.
20 And if a man smite his man-servant or his maid-servant, with a rod, and [the party] die under his hands, he shall be surely punished.
A bawipa ni a sannu hoi a sanpa hah bongpai hoi a hem teh hote san dout pawiteh, a bawipa teh reknae ka patawpoung lah poe roeroe han.
21 But if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be punished; for he is his money.
Hatei, san teh hnin touh, hnin hni a pataw hoi dout hoehpawiteh, hote san teh a bawipa e lah ao dawkvah reknae dawk hoi a hlout han.
22 And if two men strive and smite a woman with child, and her child be born imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman's husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation.
Tami hoi tami kâyue teh camo ka vawn e napui a takit dawk camo a kamko teh alouke patawnae bang awm hoehpawiteh, a vâ ni a dei e patetlah rek lah ao han. Bawi ni a dei e patetlah a rawng han.
23 But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life,
Alouke patawnae awm pawiteh, hringnae hanlah hringnae thoseh,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mit hanlah mit thoseh, hâ hanlah hâ thoseh, kut hanlah kut thoseh, khok hanlah khok thoseh,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Hmai hanlah hmai thoseh, a hmâ hanlah a hmâ thoseh, hemnae hanlah hemnae thoseh a khang han.
26 And if one smite the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his maid-servant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye's sake.
A bawipa ni a sannu a sanpa e a mit a rawk totouh hem pawiteh, a mit a rawk dawkvah a hlout sak han.
27 And if he should smite out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of his maid-servant, he shall send them away free for their tooth's sake.
Hot patetvanlah, a sannu a sanpa e a hâ ka lawt lah hem pawiteh, a hâ a lawt dawkvah a hlout sak han.
28 And if a bull gore a man or woman and they die, the bull shall be stoned with stones, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall be clear.
Maito ni tami napui hoi tongpa a deng dawk dout pawiteh, hote maito hah atangcalah koung kadout lah dêi han. A moi hai cat mahoeh. Katawnkung teh ngaithoum lah ao han.
29 But if the bull should have been given to goring in former time, and men should have told his owner, and he have not removed him, but he should have slain a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.
Hot patetvanlah, tami ouk ka deng e maito, katawnkung ni tami ouk a deng e kong a thai nahlangva, pâkhit laipalah tat pawiteh, hote maito ni tami napui tongpa koung kadout lah deng pawiteh, hote maito teh talung hoi koung kadout lah dêi han. Katawnkung hai thei lah ao han.
30 And if a ransom should be imposed on him, he shall pay for the ransom of his soul as much as they shall lay upon him.
Nahoeh pawiteh, tangka rawng naseh telah dei pawiteh, dei e patetlah amae hringnae kâratang nahanlah a rawng han.
31 And if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.
Ayânaw e canaw deng pawiteh, a dei e patetlah a khang han.
32 And if the bull gore a man-servant or maid-servant, he shall pay to their master thirty silver didrachms, and the bull shall be stoned.
A sannu sanpa deng boipawiteh, maito katawnkung ni san katawnkung tangka 30 touh a rawng pouh han. Maito hai talung hoi koung kadout lah dêi han.
33 And if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall in there,
Tami ni tangkom khuem paawng teh a tanae dawk thoseh, tangkom a tai teh teng laipalah a ta e dawk thoseh, ayânaw e marang hoi maito bawt pawiteh,
34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their owner, and the dead shall be his own.
Tangkom ka tai e ni marang hoi maito phu hah a rawng vaiteh a ro a la han.
35 And if any man's bull gore the bull of his neighbour, and it die, they shall sell the living bull and divide the money, and they shall divide the dead bull.
Tami buet touh e maito ni ayâ louk e maito koung kadout lah deng pawiteh, maito ka tawn roi ni kahring e maito hah a yo roi vaiteh aphu a kârei roi han. Kadout e maito hai a kârei roi han.
36 But if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past, and they have testified to his owner, and he have not removed him, he shall repay bull for bull, but the dead shall be his own.
Hot patetvanlah, maito ni ouk a deng tie katawnkung ni a panue nahlangva, pâkhit laipalah paktha pawiteh, maito ro ama ni a la han. Hote maito buet touh e a yueng lah maito buet touh a rawng han.
