Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the ordinances which you shall set before them.
Hae daan hae nihcae hmaa ah suem paeh;
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you, and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.
Hebru kami to tamna ah na qan nahaeloe, anih mah saning tarukto thung na tok to sah tih; toe saning sarihto naah loe, atho tidoeh hni ai ah loihsak han oh.
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.
Angmah bueng tamna ah om nahaeloe, angmah bueng loih han oh; to kami loe zu tawn nahaeloe, a zu hoi nawnto loih tih.
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.
Angmah ih angraeng mah anih han zu to lak pae moe, caa nongpa maw, to tih ai boeh loe canu maw sah nahaeloe, anih ih caanawk loe angmah angraeng ih hmuen ah om tih; a tamna loe angmah bueng ah loih tih.
5 And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;
Toe a tamna mah, Ka Angraeng, ka zu hoi ka caanawk to palung pongah, tacawt han koeh ai, tiah thui nahaeloe,
6 his master shall bring him to the judgement-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.
angmah ih angraeng mah anih to lokcaekkungnawk hmaa ah caeh haih tih; anih mah khongkha, to tih ai boeh loe khongkha tung ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih ueloe, angmah ih angraeng mah a tamna ih naa to moihin aqawthaih phungvang hoiah aqawt pae tih, to tiah anih loe a hing thung angraeng ih tamna ah om tih.
7 And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maidservants depart.
Kami maeto mah a canu to tamna ah zaw nahaeloe, to nongpata to nongpa baktiah prawt sut han om ai.
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.
Anih qankung angraeng mah to nongpata to zu ah lak han koeh ai nahaeloe, angmah hoi angmah to angkrangsak ah; angraeng mah to nongpata to aling pongah, kalah prae kami khaeah zaw thai mak ai.
9 And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.
To nongpata to a capa han paek nahaeloe, anih to a canu baktiah khet han oh.
10 And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].
Anih mah kalah nongpata to zu ah la let nahaeloe, hmaloe ih a zu nongpata ih caaknaek maw, to tih ai boeh loe sava sak nathuem ih khukbuen maw, khring pae han om ai.
11 And if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free without money.
Hae hmuen thumto sah ai nahaeloe, tangka paek angaih ai ah, nongpata to loih han oh.
12 And if any man strike another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.
Minawk hum kami loe, paduek han oh.
13 But as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his hands, I will give you a place whither the slayer may flee.
Pacaenghaih om ai ah, anih ban ah Sithaw mah to kami to paek nahaeloe, anih cawnhaih ahmuen ka suek pae han.
14 And if any one lie in wait for his neighbour to kill him by craft, and he go for refuge, you shall take him from my altar to put him to death.
Toe pacaenghaih hoiah a imtaeng kami to hum nahaeloe, ka hmaicam ah abuep cadoeh anih loe duek han oh.
15 Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.
Amno hoi ampa hum kami loe, paduek han oh.
16 He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.
Kami paqu kami loe, kami to zawh maw, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ban ah maw suem cadoeh, paduek han oh.
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.
Amno hoi ampa tangoeng kami loe paduek han oh.
18 And if two men revile each other and strike the one the other with a stone or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;
Kami hnik loe angpan hoi moe, maeto mah kalah maeto thlung hoiah vah maw, to tih ai boeh loe ban pathluem moe a thong, toe to kami loe dueh ai, iihkhun nuiah angsong sut,
19 if the man arise and walk abroad on his staff, he that struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for his loss of time, and for his healing.
toe to kami loe angthawk moe, cunghet hoiah lam caeh thaih nahaeloe, anih bop kami to loihsak han oh; toe to kami loe ahmaa ca nahaeloe, ngantui ai ah a oh nathung, patoh ih kaboeng hmuennawk boih to laem tih.
20 And if a man strike his man-servant or his maidservant, with a rod, and [the party] die under his hands, he shall be surely punished.
Kami maeto mah a tamna nongpa maw, nongpata maw boh pongah dueh nahaeloe, anih to danpaek han oh.
21 But if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be punished; for he is his money.
Toe tamna to dueh ai moe, ni hnetto maw, ni thumto maw oh pacoengah angthawk let nahaeloe, a tamna loe anih ih phoisa ah oh pongah, bop kami to danpaek han om ai.
22 And if two men strive and strike 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.
Nongpa hnik loe angpan hoi naah, zokpomh nongpata to nganbawh kana paek hoi moeng pongah, nawkta to khrah akoep ai ah zun moeng nahaeloe, nongpata ih sava mah thuih ih baktih toengah, danpaek han oh; lokcaekkung mah thuih ih baktih toengah paek tih.
23 But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life,
Toe kalah ahmaa casak nahaeloe, hinghaih to hinghaih hoiah pathok han oh.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mik pongah mik, haa pongah haa, ban pongah ban, khok pongah khok,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
hmai hoi thlaek pongah hmai hoi thlaek, ahmaa caksak pongah ahmaa caksak, nganbawh kana paek pongah nganbawh kana paek han oh.
26 And if one strike the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his maidservant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye's sake.
Kami maeto mah a tamna nongpa maw, nongpata maw mik ah boh pongah, mik amro nahaeloe, mik amrosak kami to danpaekhaih thung hoi loihsak han oh.
27 And if he should strike out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall send them away free for their tooth's sake.
Kami maeto mah a tamna nongpata maw, to tih ai boeh loe nongpa ih haa maw, angkhaeksak nahaeloe, haa angkhaehsak pongah tamna to loihsak han oh.
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.
Maitaw tae mah nongpa maw, nongpata maw takhueng moe, dueh nahaeloe, maitaw tae to thlung hoi vah maat han oh; to maitaw moi to caak han om ai; toe maitaw tawnkung loe loihsak han oh.
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.
Toe to maitaw tae loe canghnii ah kami daeng vai boeh, tito maitaw tawnkung khaeah thuih pae boeh, toe tawnkung mah kahoih ah khenzawn ai pongah, nongpa maw, nongpata maw takhueng maat bae nahaeloe, maitaw tae to thlung hoi vah maat pacoengah, tawnkung doeh paduek han oh.
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.
Toe phoisa rong nasoe, tiah thui o nahaeloe, thuih ih lok baktih toengah, a hinghaih to pahlong moe, atho rongsak han oh.
31 And if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.
Maitaw tae mah capa maw, canu maw daeng nahaeloe, lokcaekhaih baktih toengah sak han oh.
32 And if the bull gore a man-servant or maidservant, he shall pay to their master thirty silver didrachmas, and the bull shall be stoned.
Maitaw tae mah tamna nongpa maw, nongpata maw daeng nahaeloe, maitaw tae tawnkung mah maitaw tawnkung hanah phoisa shekel qui thumto paek pacoengah, maitaw tae to thlung hoi vah maat han oh.
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,
Kami maeto mah tangqom to aphroe moe, suek sut maw, to tih ai boeh loe tangqom to takaeh moe, kraeng ai ah suek sut pongah, maitaw tae maw, laa hrang maw krah moeng nahaeloe,
34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their owner, and the dead shall be his own.
tangqom toepkung mah maitaw hoi laa hrang ih atho to rong ueloe, kadueh maitaw to la tih.
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.
Kami maeto ih maitaw tae mah minawk kalah ih maitaw tae to daeng moe, dueh nahaeloe, kahing maitaw tae to zaw hoi ueloe, atho amzet hoi pacoengah, kadueh maitaw tae ih atho doeh kangvan ah amzet hoi tih.
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.
Toe to ih maitaw tae loe hmawhsaeng parai moe, canghnii ah doeh maitawnawk daeng tuektuek boeh, tiah panoek boeh, toe tawnkung mah pathlet ai ah suem sut nahaeloe, kadueh maitaw to angmah la ueloe, maitaw tae hoiah rong pae let tih.
