< Exodus 21 >

1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
“Hicheng se hi Israel mite chon'na ding dan ahiye.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
“Hebrew mi soh ding'a na choh teng le, amachun kumgup sungse'a sohna chu atoh jing ding, kumsagi ahung lhin teng vang le soh'a kivul michu chamlhat chang ding che ding ahitai,” ati.
3 If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
“Soh'a pangpa chu amachang seh seh bou ahileh, amabou kile ding Chule, jineisa ahi khah tah le, ajinu jaona anilhon'na kilhon doh lhon ding ahi.”
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.
“Hiche sohpa chu apupan ji aholpeh'a ahile, achate sese leh sohpa jinu chu apupa chang ding, ajona teng le sohpa chu achang seh'a che ding ahi.”
5 But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
Ahinlah sohpa chu hitia asei ding, ka pupa ahin ka jinu chule ka chate abonchauvin kalha ngaijin,’ chamlhat chang din che da jeng ing'e tia aseija,
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.
Hichepa chu apupan Pathen heng'a ahin puiding, hiche asohpa chu kotphung gei hihen kotphung khom chang hijongh leh ahin puija, chuteng apupan thihtul khat'a asohpa bilkol a vuhom peh ding, hiche teng chule sohpa chun nilhum keija apupa kin'a kisa lal ding ahiye.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
Pasal khat bang chun achanu soh ding'a akijoh doh ding'a ahile, amanu chu soh pasal ho bang'a kisol doh lou ding ahi.
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.
Hiche sohnu chun apupa lunglhaina mong mong aboldoh jou lou ding'a ahile, apupan jong mi dang akilhat doh sah thei jeng ding, apupan hiche sohnu chu kitahna nei louvin anabol tan ahile amanu chu apupan jong gamchom ma joh doh son nading ima agel lou ding ahi.
9 And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
“Ahinlah hiche sohnu chu apupan achapa sohnu a pang ding a agella ahile amanu chu achanu ngai ngai banga bol ding ahiye.”
10 If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
“Ibang khat a achapa chun amading'a ji achom akipui khah tah a ahile, sohnu chu aji hina'a an-neh ding, sil-le-chen ding leh athaneina ima asuhnem peh chom lou ding ahi.”
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
“Asohnu dinga chu hicheng thum hochu abolpeh louva ahile, asohnu chun bat ima neilouva sum jong pelouva adalhah jeng thei ding ahi.”
12 He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
“Khat touvin midang chun'a akhut alha khah'a ahile, akhut lhapa chu tha teitei ding ahi.”
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.
“Ahinlah kihetkhelna maimaija konna ahile, hichu Pathen in amosah lou ding, keiman nangma munding kasem pehsa nahiye atia ahile hiche laimuna chu mivolihpa jamlut'a kihuh hing thei ding ahi.”
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.
“Amavang, khat touvin aloipa hamkhat chu atha jeng'a ahile, hiche mithat pachu keima maicham phung'a konna tha ding'a napuidoh ding ahi, ati.”
15 And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
“Koi hile, anuham apa ham vo'a achung'a khut lha aumma ahile ama chu tha jeng ding ahi.”
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.
“Mihem gumang aum'a, amiguhpa bang chu ana johdoh tah'a chule akomma ana um nah laiya, akomma aum pet hichu amatoh kimudoh khom hijong leh, akimu doh pachu tha jeng ding ahiye.”
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
“Koiman anu apa a engbol thei lou ding amavang anu engbol mihem chu tha jeng ding ahiye.”
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,
“Tun, Pasal khat le pasal khat akinah a, khatpan jong khat pachu song tum'a asuh ham akhut tumma akhet hamma ahile hiche amisuh pachu thipei dehlouva ahile jalkhun anga ding ahi.”
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.
“Ahinlah alhupa chu ahung kitho doh'a tenggol mangcha a ava le theiya ahile, ama anasukhapa chu achungchang kisutheng thei ding, anat nasung'a aki jenna phat mansah chengse alepeh ding chule ajen dam sel ding ahiye.”
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.
“Mihem khat touvin asohpa ham asohnu ham chung'a khut alha'a athikhah a ahile, soh neipa chu thina chang ding ahiye.”
21 Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
“Ahinlah hiche soh kijep penchu nikhat ahilou le nini sung'a adam theng tah'a ahile, sohchung'a khut lha mihem chu thina chang lou ding ahiye. Ajeh chu soh kivul michu ama nei gou khat ahi.”
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.
“Tun tekah nan, Pasal khat le pasal khat akinah tan, numei naovop lai chu asuh khah tah lhonna anaovop chu kisuhmo'a aphat louva ahungpot doh khah tah le, numeinu suhkha penpen chu ajipan jong anop channa aman adel khum jeng thei ahi. Ahinlah apeh ding chengse chu thutan vaihom hon aphatsah peh'u angaiye.”
23 But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,
“Amavang numeinu kisuklhahna khonung'a ahung nat khat tah ahile: hiche hinkho khel ding'a chu hin kho khat ma lepeh ding ahi.”
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mitchang khella michang hiding, haa khella haa hiding, khut khel la khut hiding, keng khel la kengg na peh ding ahi,
25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Meiyin akah'a ahile meikah jeh'a meiya nale peh ding, kimavo jeh'a namavoa chule kijep jeh'a chu nale jep jeng ding ahi, ati.
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.
“Mihem koitobang khat chun asohpa ahilou leh asohnu ham mit asuh khah peh'a ahile, hiche soh chu amit adam loutah jeh'a chamlhat ding'a asol doh jeng ding ahiye.”
27 And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
“Soh goiya pang pan jong asohnu ham, asohpa ham khat achu ahaa asuhlhoi peh a hile, ahaa asuh lhopipeh tah jeh'a hiche sohpa ham sohnu ham chu chmalhat chansah ding'a asol doh ding ahitai.”
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.
“Bongchal khattou vin numei ham pasal ham khat chu aki'a ahin pihlih khah'a ahile, hiche bongchal chu song'a selih jeng ding ahiye. Amavang bongsa chu koiman aneh theilou ding chuteng bong neipa ding'a achungchang thu kisutheng ahitai,” ati.
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.
“Ahinlah hiche bongchal chun masang kisanna mihem dang ana pihlih sa ahileh, aneipa jeng'in jong anahsah lou ahitah leh, hiche bongchal in jong numei ham pasal ham chu aki a apihlih khah'a ahileh, bongchal chu thadoh jeng ding chule aneipa jeng jong anigel la tha teitei lhon ding ahiye.”
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.
Amavang athipa chu longlhat na ding'a aki peh doh'a ahile, aki pehdoh sah jatchu aman jong long lhatna ding'a apeh ding ahi.”
31 Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
“Hiche bongchal chun numei ham pasal ham khat ahin peh lih khah bang le, hiche gancha neipa chu dan kisem dungjuija kitham gah ding ahi.”
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.
“Bongchal chun soh numeija pang ham pasal ham khat chu ahin pihlih bang leh, bongchal neipan jong sohneipa chu dangka shekel somthum apeh teitei ding chule hiche bongchal chu song'a aselih pai jeng ding ahi.”
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,
“Tekah nan mikhat chun kokhuh khah bit louva adalhah jeng'a chule hiche kokhuh sin kikhah bit louva adalhah'a sangan ham bongchal ham kokhuh'a alhah lut'a athi den tah'a ahileh,
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.
“Kokhuh neipan jong aphat toh kitoh chatna asem phat ding, gancha neipa jong sum apeh ding, a gancha pohlih vang chu ama chang ding ahi.”
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.
“Mihem khat bongchal chun mi dang khat bongchal a suhkhah a asuh khah bongchal chu athi jeng'a ahile, bong nei ten jong hiche bong chal athinai louchu akijoh doh diu aki johdohna man vang chu kihom lhon ding, hiche bongchal thisa jeng jong chu aman kihom lhon ding ahi.”
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.
“Ahinlah hiche bongchal chun masang jeng'ajong gancha dang ana pihlih jeng'a ahile, aneipa jeng in jong ahilchahsa ahi a chule ngaisah'a akoi louva ahile, anei pan jong bongchal thi chu bongchal khat mama'a alesah ding, bongchal thisa vang chu ama chang teitei ding ahiye.”
