< Exodus 21 >

1 And these [are] the ordinances which you shall set before them.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Tala mibeko oyo okoyebisa bana ya Isalaele:
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.
« Soki bosombi Mo-Ebre moko lokola mowumbu, akosalela bino mibu motoba; na mobu ya sambo, akozwa bonsomi mpe akofuta eloko moko te.
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.
Soki azalaki monzemba tango ayaki, asengeli kokende ye moko; kasi soki azalaki na mwasi tango ayaki, mwasi na ye asengeli kokende na ye elongo.
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.
Soki nkolo na ye apesaki ye mwasi mpe mwasi yango abotelaki ye bana mibali to bana basi, mwasi mpe bana bakozala ya nkolo na ye; mobali akokende ye moko.
5 And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;
Kasi soki mowumbu alobi: ‹ Nalingaka nkolo na ngai, mwasi na ngai mpe bana na ngai, nalingi te kozwa bonsomi, ›
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.
wana nkolo na ye asengeli komema ye liboso ya basambisi; akomema ye na ezipelo ya ekuke to na mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke mpe akotobola ye litoyi na motonga; mpe mowumbu akosalela nkolo yango mpo na libela.
7 And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maidservants depart.
Soki moto ateki mwana na ye ya mwasi lokola mwasi mowumbu, mwana yango akozwa bonsomi te ndenge bawumbu bazwaka yango.
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.
Soki mwana mwasi asepelisi te nkolo oyo aponaki ye mpo ete azala mowumbu na ye, nkolo yango akotika ete mwana mwasi asikolama; azali na ndingisa te ya koteka ye epai ya bapaya. Kasi soki ateki ye, wana asambwisi ye.
9 And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.
Soki aponaki mwana mwasi yango mpo ete azala mwasi ya mwana na ye ya mobali, asengeli kokokisa makambo oyo mibeko esengaka mpo na kobala mwasi.
10 And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].
Soki abali mwasi mosusu, akolongola eloko te na oyo etali kolia, kolata mpe oyo basalelaka mwasi ya libala.
11 And if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free without money.
Soki apimeli ye ata eloko moko kati na biloko oyo misato, wana mwasi oyo akoki kokende na bonsomi mpe akofuta eloko moko te.
12 And if any man strike another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.
Moto oyo akobeta moninga na ye kino koboma ye, basengeli koboma ye.
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.
Nzokande, soki azalaki na likanisi ya koboma te, kasi Nzambe atiki ete yango esalema na nzela ya maboko na ye, moto wana akokima na esika oyo Ngai Yawe nakopona.
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.
Kasi soki moto akaneli moninga na ye mpe aluki koboma ye na mayele mabe, okomema ye mosika ya etumbelo na Ngai mpo na koboma ye.
15 Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.
Moto oyo akobeta tata to mama na ye, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
16 He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.
Moto oyo akokanga moto mosusu na makasi mpo na kokima na ye, ezala soki ateki moto yango to bakangi ye na moto yango na maboko, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
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.
Moto oyo akolakela tata to mama na ye mabe, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
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;
Soki bato baswani, bongo moko abeti moninga likofi to libanga; mpe moto oyo babeti likofi to libanga akufi te kasi abeli makasi;
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.
soki moto oyo babeti atelemi mpe atamboli na nzete kino na libanda, bakokatela moto oyo abetaki ye etumbu te, kasi akofuta kaka mikolo oyo moto yango azalaki kosala te mpe akosalisa ye kino akobika.
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.
Soki moto abeti mowumbu na ye ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu na ye, bongo mowumbu yango akufi na mbala moko, moto wana asengeli kozwa etumbu.
21 But if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be punished; for he is his money.
Kasi soki mowumbu yango awumeli lisusu na bomoi mokolo moko to mibale, wana nkolo na ye akozwa etumbu te, pamba te asombaki ye na mbongo.
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.
Soki mibali, wana bazali kobunda, batutani na mwasi ya zemi, bongo mwasi yango aboti mwana matsombe mpe likama mosusu emonani te, wana basengeli kofuta lomande ndenge mobali ya mwasi yango akokata kolanda mokano ya basambisi.
23 But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life,
Kasi soki likama ezali, okofuta bomoi mpo na bomoi:
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu, loboko mpo na loboko, lokolo mpo na lokolo,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
kozika mpo na kozika, pota mpo na pota, litutu mpo na litutu.
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.
Soki moto abeti mowumbu na ye ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu na ye na liso, mpe liso yango ekufi, moto yango akopesa bonsomi na mowumbu mpo na liso na ye.
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.
Soki abuki linu ya mowumbu na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi mowumbu na ye, akopesa ye bonsomi mpo na linu na ye.
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.
Soki ngombe ebomi moto na maseke, basengeli koboma ngombe yango na mabanga, mpe bakolia mosuni na yango te; nzokande nkolo na yango akozwa etumbu te.
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.
Soki ngombe ezali na momesano ya kobeta bato maseke, bongo bakebisi makasi nkolo na yango, kasi ye abateli kaka ngombe na ye malamu te mpe yango ebomi moto; basengeli koboma ngombe yango na mabanga mpe nkolo na yango asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
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.
Kasi soki basengi ye lomande mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye, akofuta nyonso oyo bakosenga ye.
31 And if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.
Bakosalela mpe mobeko oyo soki ngombe ebeti mwana mobali to mwana mwasi maseke.
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.
Soki ngombe ebeti mowumbu ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu maseke, nkolo na yango asengeli kofuta mbongo ya bibende, tuku misato, epai ya nkolo ya mowumbu, mpe bakobamba ngombe yango mabanga.
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,
Soki moto atiki libulu polele to atimoli libulu mpe azipi yango te, bongo ngombe to ane ezindi kuna;
34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their owner, and the dead shall be his own.
nkolo libulu asengeli kofuta epai ya nkolo nyama mbongo oyo ekokani na motuya ya nyama oyo esili kokufa, mpe nyama yango ekokoma ya ye.
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.
Soki ngombe ya moto moko ebomi ngombe ya moto mosusu, esengeli koteka ngombe oyo ezali na bomoi mpe kokabola na kati-kati mbongo mpe ngombe oyo esili kokufa.
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.
Kasi soki eyebani ete ngombe yango emesana kobeta bato maseke, bongo nkolo na yango abateli yango malamu te; wana asengeli kofuta ngombe mpo na ngombe, mpe ngombe ya kokufa ekokoma ya ye.
