Exodus 21
1 And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Si ou achte yon esklav Ebre, li va sèvi pou sizane, men nan setyèm ane a li va sòti tankou yon moun lib san peye frè.
3 If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
Si li antre li sèl li, li va sòti sèl. Si se mari a yon madanm, alò, madanm nan va sòti avè l.
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.
Si mèt li bay li yon madanm, e li fè fis oswa fi pou li, madanm nan avèk pitit li yo va rete pou mèt li, e li va sòti sèl.
5 But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
Men si esklav la di byen klè: “Mwen renmen mèt mwen, madanm mwen, ak pitit mwen yo; mwen p ap sòti tankou moun lib,”
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.
alò, mèt li va mennen li devan Bondye, e apre li va mennen li vè pòt la, oswa chanbrann pòt la. Epi konsa, mèt li va pèse zòrèy li avèk yon pwenson, e li va sèvi li nèt jis pou tout tan.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
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.
Si li vin degoutan nan zye mèt li ki te anvizaje li pou li menm, alò, li va kite li ransone. Li pa gen otorite pou vann li a yon pèp etranje, akoz sa li fè pa jis.
9 And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
Si li ta dezinye l pou marye ak fis li, li va trete li selon koutim pwòp fi li yo.
10 If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
Si li ta vin pran pou li menm yon lòt fanm, li pa ka redwi manje li, vètman li, ni dwa konjigal li.
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
12 He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.
Sila ki frape yon mesye pou li mouri va vrèman mete a lanmò.
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.
Men si sa pa t rive pa eksprè nan anbiskad, men Bondye kite sa rive, alò, Mwen va chwazi yon kote pou li kapab sove ale.
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.
Si, alò, yon mesye aji avèk mechanste kont vwazen li, pou l kab touye li nan koken, ou va pran li menm si se sou lotèl la, pou li kapab mouri.
15 And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
Sila ki frape papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
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.
Sila ki kidnape yon nonm, oswa ke li vann li, oswa yo twouve li nan posesyon li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.
Sila ki modi papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
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,
Si de mesye gen yon kont e youn frape lòt la avèk yon wòch, oswa avèk pwen li, e li pa mouri, men l pa ka leve sou kabann li,
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.
si li ta leve mache deyò, malgre asistans baton li, alò, sila ki te frape li a va rete san pinisyon. Li va peye sèlman pou tan ke li pèdi a, e li va kontinye okipe li jis lè li fin geri nèt.
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.
Si yon mesye frape esklav li, kit mal kit femèl, avèk yon baton, epi li vin mouri nan men l, li va pini.
21 Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
Malgre sa, si li leve apre youn oswa de jou, li p ap pini, pwiske sèvitè a se pwòp byen li ke li ye.
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.
Si de mesye vin lite youn avèk lòt, yo frape yon fanm ansent e li vin akouche avan lè, men pa gen lòt pwoblèm, li va peye yon amann jan mari a fanm nan kapab mande li, e li va peye li selon desizyon jij yo.
23 But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,
Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
zye pou zye, dan pou dan, men pou men, pye pou pye,
25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
brile pou brile, blese pou blese, brize pou brize.
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.
Si yon mesye frape zye esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, e li pèdi zye a, li va bay li libète akoz pèt zye a.
27 And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.
Si li kraze fè pèt a yon dan esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, li va ba li libète akoz dan an.
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.
Si yon bèf frennen yon mesye oswa yon fanm avèk kòn li, pou l mouri, bèf la va vrèman lapide jiskaske li mouri, e chè li p ap manje; men mèt bèf la p ap pini.
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.
Men si yon bèf te deja gen abitid frennen moun e mèt li te avèti deja, men li pa t okipe sa, e li vin touye yon mesye oswa yon fanm, bèf la va lapide, e mèt li anplis va mete a lanmò.
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.
Si yon aman ranson vin enpoze pou konsève lavi l, nenpòt sa yo mande, li va peye l,
31 Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Si se yon fis oswa si se yon fi ke li frennen, l ap fèt menm jan selon menm règ la.
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.
Si bèf la frennen yon mal oswa yon femèl esklav, mèt la va bay mèt li trant sik lajan, e bèf la va lapide.
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,
Si yon mesye ouvri yon fòs, oswa fouye yon fòs e li pa kouvri li, yon bèf, oswa yon bourik tonbe ladann,
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.
mèt fòs la va bay rekonpans. Li va bay lajan a mèt li, e bèt mouri a va vin pou li.
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.
Si bèf a yon mesye vin donmaje bèf a yon lòt, e li mouri, alò yo va vann bèf vivan an e divize pri li mwatye pou yo chak; epi osi yo va divize bèt mouri an.
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.
Men, si li te deja rekonèt ke bèf la te gen abitid frennen, men mèt li pa t okipe sa, li va vrèman peye bèt pou bèt, e bèt mouri an va vin pou li.
