Exodus 21
1 These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Te phoeiah laitloeknah he amih mikhmuh ah khueh pah.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee: in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Hebrew sal te na lai atah kum rhuk thotat saeh lamtah kum rhih hlang dongah tah sayalh la cet yungyi saeh.
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.
Amah bueng hoengpoek la ha pawk atah amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh. A yuu a va a om atah a yuu khaw amah neh cet saeh.
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.
A boei loh anih te yuu a paek tih anih ham canu capa a sak atah a yuu neh a ca tah a boei kah ni. Tedae amah te amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh.
5 And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
Tedae sal loh, “Ka boei ka lungnah tih ka yuu neh ka ca he sayalh la ka coe tak mahpawh a ti khaw a ti khaming.
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.
Te vaengah anih te a boei loh Pathen mikhmuh la khuen saeh lamtah thohkhaih taeng neh rhungsut taengla thoeih saeh. Te vaengah a boei loh a hna te ciphuem neh vueh pah saeh kumhal ham anih taengah thotat saeh.
7 If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.
Te phoeiah hlang loh a canu te sal la a yoih atah, sal tongpa a caeh bangla cet mahpawh.
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.
A boei mik ah a thae atah anih te amah ham tuentah saeh lamtah lat saeh. Salnu taengah a hnukpoh coeng dongah salnu te kholong pilnam taengla yoih ham taemrhai boel saeh.
9 But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Salnu te a capa ham a tuentah coeng atah anih te amah canu kah hamsum bangla saii pah saeh.
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.
Amah ham te a tloe a loh atah, salnu kah a maeh, a himbai neh a hutakoe te hnop pah boel saeh.
11 If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.
He pathum he anih ham a saii pah pawt atah, tangka mueh la cet yungyi pawn saeh.
12 He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.
Hlang a boh tih a duek atah amah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
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.
Anih loh rhaem ngawn pawt dae Pathen loh anih kut ah a rhul sak oeh atah nang ham hmuen ka khueh vetih te lam te rhaelrham bitni.
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.
Tedae hlang loh a hui te ngawn ham taengnah neh a lokhak atah anih te ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh khuen lamtah duek saeh.
15 He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
A manu a napa aka taam khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
16 He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.
Hlang aka huen neh te te a yoih vaengah a kut ah a hmuh pah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
A manu a napa aka tap khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
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:
Hlang rhoi te oelh uh rhoi tih hlang pakhat loh a hui te lungto neh, kuthluem neh a thuk dae duek pawt tih thingkong dongah a yalh atah,
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.
thoo tih poeng ah a conghol neh a pongpa atah anih aka ngawn te hmil mai saeh. A bipoei phu tah pae saeh lamtah hoeih rhoe hoeih sak saeh.
20 He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
Hlang loh a salpa neh a salnu te conghol neh a taam tih a kut hmuiah a duek atah a phuloh ham te a phulo kuekluek saeh.
21 But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
Tedae hnin hnih hnin at neh a thoh atah anih te amah tangka coeng dongah phulo boel saeh.
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.
Hlang a hnueih vaengah huta bungvawn te a si tih a ca te thoeng mai ni. Tedae yoethae puei pawt cakhaw huta kah a va amah lamloh a hoe te tah sah rhoe sah saeh. Tedae rhokhan tarhing la pae saeh.
23 But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
Tedae yoethae a puei atah hinglu ham te hinglu na paek van ni.
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mik yueng mik, no yueng no, kut yueng kut, kho yueng ah kho,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Hmai-ung yueng hmai-ung, tloh yueng tloh, boengha yueng boengha van saeh.
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.
Hlang loh a salpa mik a salnu mik te a ngawn pah tih a rhawp sak atah a mik yueng te sayalh la hlah saeh.
27 Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.
A salpa no neh a salnu no te a hom sak atah a no yueng anih te sayalh la hlah saeh.
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.
Vaito loh tongpa khaw, huta khaw a thoeh tih a duek atah vaito te dae rhoe dae saeh lamtah a saa te ca boel saeh. Tedae vaito kungmah tah ommongsitoe ngawn saeh.
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.
Tedae vaito te hlaem hlavai ah khaw a toh noek dongah a kungmah te a rhalrhing sak lalah ngaithuen pawt tih tongpa khaw huta khaw a duek sak atah vaito te dae saeh lamtah a kungmah khaw duek saeh.
30 And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
Anih taengah tlansum a suk atah te lamloh a hoe boeih te a hinglu kah tlansum pae van saeh.
31 If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.
Capa a thoeh akhaw canu khaw a thoeh akhaw hekah laitloeknah bangla a taengah saii saeh.
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.
Vaito loh salpa khaw, sal huta khaw a thoeh atah a boei te tangka shekel sawmthum pae saeh lamtah vaito te dae saeh.
33 If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
Hlang loh tangrhom khaw a ong tih hlang loh rhom khaw a vueh vaengah te te muek pawt tih vaito khaw laak khaw a cungku atah,
34 The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.
Tangrhom kungmah loh thuung saeh lamtah a boei te tangka la mael saeh. Tedae aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
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:
Hlang pakhat kah vaito loh a hui kah vaito te a si tih a duek atah vaito hing te yoi rhoi saeh lamtah a tangka te tael uh rhoi saeh. Te phoeiah aka duek te khaw tael uh rhoi saeh.
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.
Tedae hlaem hlavai ah khaw vaito kah a toh noek te a ming lalah a kungmah loh te te a khoem pawt atah vaito yueng te vaito neh thuung rhoe thuung saeh lamtah aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
