Exodus 21
1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
BAWIPA nihai, nang ni Isarelnaw koe lawk na ceng hane teh,
2 If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out 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 came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
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 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.
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 But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
Nahoeh pawiteh, san ni ka bawipa hoi ka yu ka canaw ka lungpataw, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh telah tet pawiteh,
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.
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 a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
A na pa ni a canu san lah yawt pawiteh, hote napui teh san tongpa patetlah hlout mahoeh.
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 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 have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
A capa hanlah lat boipawiteh, a canu patetlah a khetyawt han.
10 If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
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 do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Hete hno kathum touh sak pouh hoehpawiteh, aphu het laipalah a hlout sak han.
12 He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
Tami hem boi lah dout pawiteh ama hai a due roeroe han.
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.
Thei hanlah noenae awm laipalah Cathut ni a kut dawk hringnae poe boipawiteh, a yawng nahane hmuen hah na pouk pouh awh han.
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.
A imri thei hanlah noenae a tawn teh, ka tuk e tami teh ka khoungroe kângue nakunghai, sawn vaiteh thei roeroe han.
15 And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa ka hem e tami a due roeroe han.
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.
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 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa thoe ka bo e tami teh thei lah ao han.
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,
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 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.
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 strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.
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 Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; 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 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.
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 mischief happen, then thou shalt 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 branding for branding, 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 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.
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 knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
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 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.
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 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.
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 If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.
Nahoeh pawiteh, tangka rawng naseh telah dei pawiteh, dei e patetlah amae hringnae kâratang nahanlah a rawng han.
31 Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Ayânaw e canaw deng pawiteh, a dei e patetlah a khang han.
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.
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 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,
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 it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.
Tangkom ka tai e ni marang hoi maito phu hah a rawng vaiteh a ro a la han.
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.
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 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.
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.
