Exodus 21
1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Te phoeiah laitloeknah he amih mikhmuh ah khueh pah.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Hebrew sal te na lai atah kum rhuk thotat saeh lamtah kum rhih hlang dongah tah sayalh la cet yungyi saeh.
3 If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
Amah bueng hoengpoek la ha pawk atah amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh. A yuu a va a om atah a yuu khaw amah neh cet saeh.
4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.
A boei loh anih te yuu a paek tih anih ham canu capa a sak atah a yuu neh a ca tah a boei kah ni. Tedae amah te amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh.
5 But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
Tedae sal loh, “Ka boei ka lungnah tih ka yuu neh ka ca he sayalh la ka coe tak mahpawh a ti khaw a ti khaming.
6 then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.
Te vaengah anih te a boei loh Pathen mikhmuh la khuen saeh lamtah thohkhaih taeng neh rhungsut taengla thoeih saeh. Te vaengah a boei loh a hna te ciphuem neh vueh pah saeh kumhal ham anih taengah thotat saeh.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
Te phoeiah hlang loh a canu te sal la a yoih atah, sal tongpa a caeh bangla cet mahpawh.
8 If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.
A boei mik ah a thae atah anih te amah ham tuentah saeh lamtah lat saeh. Salnu taengah a hnukpoh coeng dongah salnu te kholong pilnam taengla yoih ham taemrhai boel saeh.
9 And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
Salnu te a capa ham a tuentah coeng atah anih te amah canu kah hamsum bangla saii pah saeh.
10 If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
Amah ham te a tloe a loh atah, salnu kah a maeh, a himbai neh a hutakoe te hnop pah boel saeh.
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
He pathum he anih ham a saii pah pawt atah, tangka mueh la cet yungyi pawn saeh.
12 He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
Hlang a boh tih a duek atah amah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
13 But if he have not lain in wait, and God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.
Anih loh rhaem ngawn pawt dae Pathen loh anih kut ah a rhul sak oeh atah nang ham hmuen ka khueh vetih te lam te rhaelrham bitni.
14 But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
Tedae hlang loh a hui te ngawn ham taengnah neh a lokhak atah anih te ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh khuen lamtah duek saeh.
15 And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
A manu a napa aka taam khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.
Hlang aka huen neh te te a yoih vaengah a kut ah a hmuh pah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
A manu a napa aka tap khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
18 And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,
Hlang rhoi te oelh uh rhoi tih hlang pakhat loh a hui te lungto neh, kuthluem neh a thuk dae duek pawt tih thingkong dongah a yalh atah,
19 — if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
thoo tih poeng ah a conghol neh a pongpa atah anih aka ngawn te hmil mai saeh. A bipoei phu tah pae saeh lamtah hoeih rhoe hoeih sak saeh.
20 And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.
Hlang loh a salpa neh a salnu te conghol neh a taam tih a kut hmuiah a duek atah a phuloh ham te a phulo kuekluek saeh.
21 Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
Tedae hnin hnih hnin at neh a thoh atah anih te amah tangka coeng dongah phulo boel saeh.
22 And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.
Hlang a hnueih vaengah huta bungvawn te a si tih a ca te thoeng mai ni. Tedae yoethae puei pawt cakhaw huta kah a va amah lamloh a hoe te tah sah rhoe sah saeh. Tedae rhokhan tarhing la pae saeh.
23 But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,
Tedae yoethae a puei atah hinglu ham te hinglu na paek van ni.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mik yueng mik, no yueng no, kut yueng kut, kho yueng ah kho,
25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Hmai-ung yueng hmai-ung, tloh yueng tloh, boengha yueng boengha van saeh.
26 And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.
Hlang loh a salpa mik a salnu mik te a ngawn pah tih a rhawp sak atah a mik yueng te sayalh la hlah saeh.
27 And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
A salpa no neh a salnu no te a hom sak atah a no yueng anih te sayalh la hlah saeh.
28 And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless.
Vaito loh tongpa khaw, huta khaw a thoeh tih a duek atah vaito te dae rhoe dae saeh lamtah a saa te ca boel saeh. Tedae vaito kungmah tah ommongsitoe ngawn saeh.
29 But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, — the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
Tedae vaito te hlaem hlavai ah khaw a toh noek dongah a kungmah te a rhalrhing sak lalah ngaithuen pawt tih tongpa khaw huta khaw a duek sak atah vaito te dae saeh lamtah a kungmah khaw duek saeh.
30 If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.
Anih taengah tlansum a suk atah te lamloh a hoe boeih te a hinglu kah tlansum pae van saeh.
31 Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Capa a thoeh akhaw canu khaw a thoeh akhaw hekah laitloeknah bangla a taengah saii saeh.
32 If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Vaito loh salpa khaw, sal huta khaw a thoeh atah a boei te tangka shekel sawmthum pae saeh lamtah vaito te dae saeh.
33 — And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
Hlang loh tangrhom khaw a ong tih hlang loh rhom khaw a vueh vaengah te te muek pawt tih vaito khaw laak khaw a cungku atah,
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.
Tangrhom kungmah loh thuung saeh lamtah a boei te tangka la mael saeh. Tedae aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
35 — And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.
Hlang pakhat kah vaito loh a hui kah vaito te a si tih a duek atah vaito hing te yoi rhoi saeh lamtah a tangka te tael uh rhoi saeh. Te phoeiah aka duek te khaw tael uh rhoi saeh.
36 Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.
Tedae hlaem hlavai ah khaw vaito kah a toh noek te a ming lalah a kungmah loh te te a khoem pawt atah vaito yueng te vaito neh thuung rhoe thuung saeh lamtah aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
