Exodus 21
1 These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
| «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي تَضَعُ أَمَامَهُمْ: | ١ |
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee: in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
| إِذَا ٱشْتَرَيْتَ عَبْدًا عِبْرَانِيًّا، فَسِتَّ سِنِينَ يَخْدِمُ، وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعَةِ يَخْرُجُ حُرًّا مَجَّانًا. | ٢ |
3 With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.
| إِنْ دَخَلَ وَحْدَهُ فَوَحْدَهُ يَخْرُجُ. إِنْ كَانَ بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، تَخْرُجُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ مَعَهُ. | ٣ |
4 But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters: the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.
| إِنْ أَعْطَاهُ سَيِّدُهُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ بَنِينَ أَوْ بَنَاتٍ، فَٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَأَوْلَادُهَا يَكُونُونَ لِسَيِّدِهِ، وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ وَحْدَهُ. | ٤ |
5 And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ ٱلْعَبْدُ: أُحِبُّ سَيِّدِي وَٱمْرَأَتِي وَأَوْلَادِي، لَا أَخْرُجُ حُرًّا، | ٥ |
6 His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.
| يُقَدِّمُهُ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَيُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ أَوْ إِلَى ٱلْقَائِمَةِ، وَيَثْقُبُ سَيِّدُهُ أُذْنَهُ بِٱلْمِثْقَبِ، فَيَخْدِمُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٦ |
7 If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.
| وَإِذَا بَاعَ رَجُلٌ ٱبْنَتَهُ أَمَةً، لَا تَخْرُجُ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْعَبِيدُ. | ٧ |
8 If she displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered, he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign nation, if he despise her.
| إِنْ قَبُحَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْ سَيِّدِهَا ٱلَّذِي خَطَبَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، يَدَعُهَا تُفَكُّ. وَلَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا لِقَوْمٍ أَجَانِبَ لِغَدْرِهِ بِهَا. | ٨ |
9 But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
| وَإِنْ خَطَبَهَا لِٱبْنِهِ فَبِحَسَبِ حَقِّ ٱلْبَنَاتِ يَفْعَلُ لَهَا. | ٩ |
10 And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her chastity.
| إِنِ ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ أُخْرَى، لَا يُنَقِّصُ طَعَامَهَا وَكِسْوَتَهَا وَمُعَاشَرَتَهَا. | ١٠ |
11 If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ لَهَا هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَ تَخْرُجُ مَجَّانًا بِلَا ثَمَنٍ. | ١١ |
12 He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.
| «مَنْ ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانًا فَمَاتَ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. | ١٢ |
13 But he that did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands: I will appoint thee a place to which he must flee.
| وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَعَمَّدْ، بَلْ أَوْقَعَ ٱللهُ فِي يَدِهِ، فَأَنَا أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مَكَانًا يَهْرُبُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ |
14 If a man kill his neighbour on set purpose and by lying in wait for him: thou shalt take him away from my altar, that he may die.
| وَإِذَا بَغَى إِنْسَانٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِغَدْرٍ فَمِنْ عِنْدِ مَذْبَحِي تَأْخُذُهُ لِلْمَوْتِ. | ١٤ |
15 He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
| وَمَنْ ضَرَبَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. | ١٥ |
16 He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.
| وَمَنْ سَرَقَ إِنْسَانًا وَبَاعَهُ، أَوْ وُجِدَ فِي يَدِهِ، يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. | ١٦ |
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
| وَمَنْ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. | ١٧ |
18 If men quarrel, and the one strike his neighbour with a stone or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
| وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلَانِ فَضَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا ٱلْآخَرَ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ بِلَكْمَةٍ وَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ بَلْ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ، | ١٨ |
19 If he rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, he that struck him shall be quit, yet so that he make restitution for his work, and for his expenses upon the physicians.
| فَإِنْ قَامَ وَتَمَشَّى خَارِجًا عَلَى عُكَّازِهِ يَكُونُ ٱلضَّارِبُ بَرِيئًا. إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُعَوِّضُ عُطْلَتَهُ، وَيُنْفِقُ عَلَى شِفَائِهِ. | ١٩ |
20 He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
| وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ أَمَتَهُ بِٱلْعَصَا فَمَاتَ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
| لَكِنْ إِنْ بَقِيَ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ لَا يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ لِأَنَّهُ مَالُهُ. | ٢١ |
22 If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award.
| وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رِجَالٌ وَصَدَمُوا ٱمْرَأَةً حُبْلَى فَسَقَطَ وَلَدُهَا وَلَمْ تَحْصُلْ أَذِيَّةٌ، يُغَرَّمُ كَمَا يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَيَدْفَعُ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْقُضَاةِ. | ٢٢ |
23 But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
| وَإِنْ حَصَلَتْ أَذِيَّةٌ تُعْطِي نَفْسًا بِنَفْسٍ، | ٢٣ |
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
| وَعَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ، وَسِنًّا بِسِنٍّ، وَيَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَرِجْلًا بِرِجْلٍ، | ٢٤ |
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
| وَكَيًّا بِكَيٍّ، وَجُرْحًا بِجُرْحٍ، وَرَضًّا بِرَضٍّ. | ٢٥ |
26 If any man strike the eye of his manservant or maidservant, and leave them but one eye, he shall let them go free for the eye which he put out.
| وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَيْنَ عَبْدِهِ، أَوْ عَيْنَ أَمَتِهِ فَأَتْلَفَهَا، يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ عَيْنِهِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.
| وَإِنْ أَسْقَطَ سِنَّ عَبْدِهِ أَوْ سِنَّ أَمَتِهِ يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ سِنِّهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, and they die, he shall be stoned: and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
| «وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرٌ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ، يُرْجَمُ ٱلثَّوْرُ وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ. وَأَمَّا صَاحِبُ ٱلثَّوْرِ فَيَكُونُ بَرِيئًا. | ٢٨ |
29 But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday and the day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, an his owner also shall be put to death.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ثَوْرًا نَطَّاحًا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَقَدْ أُشْهِدَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ، فَقَتَلَ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً، فَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ وَصَاحِبُهُ أَيْضًا يُقْتَلُ. | ٢٩ |
30 And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
| إِنْ وُضِعَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِدْيَةٌ، يَدْفَعُ فِدَاءَ نَفْسِهِ كُلُّ مَا يُوضَعُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.
| أَوْ إِذَا نَطَحَ ٱبْنًا أَوْ نَطَحَ ٱبْنَةً فَبِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْحُكْمِ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ. | ٣١ |
32 If he assault a bondman or a bond woman, he shall give thirty sicles of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
| إِنْ نَطَحَ ٱلثَّوْرُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً، يُعْطِي سَيِّدَهُ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ. | ٣٢ |
33 If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
| وَإِذَا فَتَحَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا، أَوْحَفَرَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا وَلَمْ يُغَطِّهِ، فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ ثَوْرٌ أَوْ حِمَارٌ، | ٣٣ |
34 The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.
| فَصَاحِبُ ٱلْبِئْرِ يُعَوِّضُ وَيَرُدُّ فِضَّةً لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ. | ٣٤ |
35 If one man’s ox gore another man’s ox, and he die: they shall sell the live ox, and shall divide the price, and the carcass of that which died they shall part between them:
| وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرُ إِنْسَانٍ ثَوْرَ صَاحِبِهِ فَمَاتَ، يَبِيعَانِ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْحَيَّ وَيَقْتَسِمَانِ ثَمَنَهُ. وَٱلْمَيْتُ أَيْضًا يَقْتَسِمَانِهِ. | ٣٥ |
36 But if he knew that his ox was wont to push yesterday and the day before, and his master did not keep him in: he shall pay ox for ox, and shall take the whole carcass.
| لَكِنْ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ ثَوْرٌ نَطَّاحٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ صَاحِبُهُ، يُعَوِّضُ عَنِ ٱلثَّوْرِ بِثَوْرٍ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ. | ٣٦ |
