< Exodus 21 >

1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
“Magi e chike manyaka iketi e nyimgi.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
“Ka ingʼiewo ja-Hibrania ma misumba, to enotini kuom higni auchiel. To e higa mar abiriyo, enobed thuolo, ka ok ochulo gimoro.
3 If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
Kane obiro kapok okendo, to nodog kende; to kane obiro ka osekendo, to nodog gi chiegeno.
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.
Ka ruodhe omiye dhako kendo onywolone yawuowi gi nyiri, dhakono kaachiel gi nyithinde nobed mwandu ruodhe kendo mana misumbano kende ema nobed thuolo.
5 But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
“To ka misumba owacho ni, ‘Ahero ruodha kod chiega gi nyithinda kendo ok adwar bedo thuolo,’
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.
to ruodhe nyaka tere e nyim jongʼad bura. Notere e dhoot kata e siro mar dhoot kendo notuch ite gi riwi. Bangʼe obiro bedo misumbane nyaka chiengʼ.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
“Ka ngʼato ouso nyare kaka misumba, to ok noweye obed thuolo kaka iweyo misumba madichwo.
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.
To ka ruoth mongʼieweno chunye ok mor kode; to ruodheno noweye mondo oware. Oonge gi thuolo mar use ne jopinje mamoko, nikech oseketho singruokne kode.
9 And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
Ka oyiere ni wuode, to nyaka omiye duongʼ kaka nyare.
10 If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
Ka wuowino onywomo dhako machielo, to nyaka omi dhako mokwongo chiemo, lewni kendo nyaka obed kode e achiel.
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
To ka ok ochiwone gik moko adekgi, to dhakono, ni thuolo mar dhi, maonge chudo moro amora mar pesa.
12 He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata mogoyo ngʼato kendo onego to adier nyaka negi.
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.
To kata kamano, ka gima otimono obothne, ma en dwach Nyasaye mondo mi otimre; to Nyasaye nomiye kar tony moseikone.
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.
To ka ngʼato ochano kendo onego ngʼat machielo kuom wangʼ teko, to goleuru oko mabor gi kar kendona mar misango kendo negeuru.
15 And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata ma omonjo wuon kata min nyaka negi.
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.
“Ngʼato angʼata mokawo nyawadgi githuon mi omiye ngʼat machielo kuom chudo kata bed ni pod opande e kindeno moyude gi ngʼatno, to nyaka nege.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata ma okwongʼo wuon kata min nyaka negi.
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,
“Ka chwo gore kendo achiel kuomgi ogoyo nyawadgi gi kidi kata gi adhongʼ to ok otho, to obedo mana matuo kosiko e pien,
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.
to ngʼatno mane ogocho ok nomok e wachno ka machielono ochungo mi owuotho oko gi ludhe; to kata kamano, nyaka ochul ngʼat mohinyoreno kuom thuolone mokethore kendo one ni ochango chutho.
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.
“Ka ngʼato ogoyo dichwo kata dhako ma misumba gi luth kendo misumbano otho kaluwore gi gochono, nyaka kume.
21 Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
To ok enokume ka misumbano ochungo oa malo bangʼ ndalo achiel kata ariyo, nimar misumbano en mwandune.
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.
“Ka chwo magore ogoyo dhako man-gi ich kendo onywol ka kinde nywol pok ochopo to onge hinyruok moro malich, ngʼat motimo marachno nyaka gol chudo moro amora ma chwor dhakono okwayo kendo jangʼad bura oyiego.
23 But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,
To ka nitie hinyruok marach to nyaka ukaw ngima kar ngima kendo
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
wangʼ kar wangʼ, kendo lak kar lak, kendo lwedo kar lwedo kendo tielo kar tielo,
25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
del mowangʼ kar del mowangʼ kendo adhola kar adhola, kendo kama ogwar kar kama ogwar.
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.
“Ka ngʼato ogoyo wangʼ misumba madichwo kata madhako ma wangʼeno okethore, to nyaka owene misumbaneno thuolo kaka chudo mar wangʼeno.
27 And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
Kendo ka omuko lak misumba madichwo kata madhako, to nyaka owene misumbaneno thuolo kaka chudo mar lakeno.
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.
“Ka rwath ochwoyo dichwo kata dhako monego, rwadhno nyaka go gi kite ma tho, kendo ringe kik cham. To wuon rwadhno wachno ok nomake.
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.
To kata kamano, ka rwadhno osebedo gi kido mar chwopo kendo wuon-gi osesiem to ok osetweye e dipo mi onego dichwo kata dhako, rwadhno nyaka go gi kite kendo wuon-gi bende nyaka negi.
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.
Kata kamano, ka buch tho oloki, moketne chudo, to nyaka ochul nengo moro amora moketne mondo oresgo ngimane.
31 Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Chik achielno ema nyaka tigo ka rwadh ochwowo nyathi ma wuowi kata ma nyako
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.
Ka rwath ochwowo dichwo kata dhako ma misumba, to wuon rwadhno nyaka chul ruodh misumbano fedha ma pekne romo nus kilo, kendo rwadhno nyaka negi.
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,
“Ka ngʼato oelo dho bur kata okunyo moro kendo oweyo dhoge nono mi rwadh pur kata punda onyumoree,
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.
to wuon burno nyaka chul kuom lalno; kendo nyaka ochul wuon gigi kendo jamni mothogo nobed mage.
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.
“Ka rwadh ngʼato ohinyo rwadh ngʼat machielo mi otho, to ginius rwath mangimano kendo ginipog pesa kaachiel gi ring rwath mothono marom.
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.
To kata kamano, kane ongʼere ni rwadhno ne nigi kido mar chwopo, kendo wuon-gi ne osesiem to ne ok otweye, wuon-gi nyaka chul, chiayo kar chiayo kendo chiayo mothono nobed mare.
