Exodus 21
1 Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:
-Men regleman w'a mete devan moun pèp Izrayèl yo:
2 If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.
Lè ou achte yon moun menm ras avè ou pou sèvi ou esklav, li gen pou l' sèvi ou sizan. Lè setyèm lanne a rive, l'a lib. L'a gen dwa al fè wout li san l' pa gen anyen pou l' peye ou.
3 If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Si li te pou kont li lè l' te vini an, li va ale pou kont li. Si li te gen madanm lè l' te vini an, madanm lan va ale avè l'.
4 If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.
Si se mèt li ki te ba li madanm, epi madanm lan te fè pitit pou li, ni pitit yo, ni manman lan va rete pou mèt la. Msye va al fè wout li pou kont li.
5 But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,
Men, si esklav la di: Mwen renmen mèt mwen, mwen renmen madanm mwen ak pitit mwen yo, mwen pa vle vin lib ankò,
6 Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.
enben, lè sa a, mèt la va mennen l' devan Bondye. L'a fè l' pwoche bò pòt la, osinon bò chanbrann pòt la, l'a pèse zòrèy li ak yon bagay pwenti. Konsa esklav la va rete ap sèvi li jouk li mouri.
7 Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
Lè yon nonm vann pitit fi li pou sèvi esklav, pitit fi sa a pa ka lib ankò, jan yo ka fè l' pou gason yo.
8 If shee please not her master, who hath betrothed her to him selfe, then shall hee cause to buy her: hee shall haue no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.
Si mèt la te fin dakò pou l' te pran fi a pou madanm, epi si apre sa fi a pa fè l' plezi ankò, msye va fè yon jan pou papa ak manman fi a achte l' nan men li ankò. Men, li pa gen dwa vann li bay yon moun lòt nasyon, paske se trayi l'a trayi fi a lè sa a.
9 But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.
Men, si li te fè lide bay pitit gason l' fi a, se pou l' aji avè l' tankou si se te pròp pitit fi li.
10 If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.
Si li pran yon lòt madanm sou li, li pa gen dwa wete anyen sou sa li dwe l': ni sou manje l', ni sou rad li, epi se pou l' toujou sevi ak li tankou madanm li.
11 And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.
Si li pa fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, madanm lan gen dwa ale fè wout li, san li pa gen anyen pou l' peye mèt la, san bay senk kòb.
12 He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall dye the death.
Si yon moun leve men l' sou yon lòt, epi li touye l', moun sa a, se pou yo touye l' tou.
13 And if a man hath not layed wayte, but God hath offered him into his hande, then I wil appoynt thee a place whither he shall flee.
Men, si se pa espre li fè, si se Bondye ki fè lòt moun lan tonbe anba men l', m'ap chwazi yon kote pou l' ale kache kò l'.
14 But if a man come presumptuously vpon his neighbour to slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
Men, si yon moun chache yon lòt kont, epi li fè plan pou li touye l', li te mèt al kache bò kote lòtèl mwen an, se pou n al pran l' pou nou touye l'.
15 Also hee that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Si yon moun leve men l' sou papa l' osinon sou manman l', se pou yo touye l'.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be founde with him, shall die the death.
Si yon moun pran yon lòt pa fòs pou l' al vann li osinon pou kenbe l' lakay li, se pou yo touye l'.
17 And hee that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Si yon moun bay papa l' osinon manman l' madichon, se pou yo touye l'.
18 When men also striue together, and one smite another with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but lieth in bed,
Lè de moun gen kont, si yonn bay lòt yon koutwòch osinon yon koutpwen, epi si sak resevwa kou a pa mouri, men li blije pran kabann, men jan pou sa regle:
19 If hee rise againe and walke without vpon his staffe, then shall he that smote him go quite, saue onely hee shall beare his charges for his resting, and shall pay for his healing.
Si li ka leve, si li ka mache pwonmennen ak baton, y'a fè pa moun ki te ba l' kou a. Tansèlman, l'a gen pou l' peye lòt la dedomajman pou tout jou li fè rete san travay, epi l'a reskonsab pran swen l' jouk li geri.
20 And if a man smite his seruant, or his maide with a rod, and he die vnder his hande, he shalbe surely punished.
Lè yon moun leve men l' sou yon esklav li, kit se gason, kit se fi, pou ba li koutbaton, si esklav la mouri frèt, se pou yo pini mèt la.
21 But if he continue a day, or two dayes, hee shall not be punished: for he is his money.
Men, si esklav la fè yon jou osinon de jou anvan l' mouri, se pa nesesè pou yo pini mèt la, paske se lajan pa l' li te mete deyò pou l' achte l'.
22 Also if men striue and hurt a woman with childe, so that her childe depart from her, and death follow not, hee shall bee surely punished according as the womans husband shall appoynt him, or he shall pay as the Iudges determine.
Lè gason ap goumen, si nan voye kou yo frape yon fanm ansent, epi si fanm lan fè foskouch san anyen ankò pa rive l', moun ki ba l' kou a va peye dedomajman dapre sa mari a va mande. L'a peye sa jij yo va deside.
23 But if death follow, then thou shalt paye life for life,
Men, si malè rive fanm lan, y'a fè l' peye lavi pou lavi,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hande for hand, foote for foote,
yon je pou yon je, yon dan pou yon dan, yon men pou yon men, yon pye pou yon pye,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wounde, stripe for stripe.
boule pou boule, blese pou blese, foule pou foule.
26 And if a man smite his seruant in the eie, or his maide in the eye, and hath perished it, hee shall let him goe free for his eye.
Lè yon moun frape yon esklav li nan je, kit se yon gason, kit se yon fanm, si esklav la pèdi je a, mèt la va ba li libète l' pou dedomajman pou je a.
27 Also if he smite out his seruants tooth, or his maides tooth, he shall let him goe out free for his tooth.
Si se dan yon esklav li rache, l'a ba li libète li pou dedomajman pou dan an.
28 If an oxe gore a man or a woman, that he die, the oxe shalbe stoned to death, and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the oxe shall goe quite.
Lè yon bèf touye yon gason osinon yon fanm ak koutkòn, se pou yo touye l' ak koutwòch. Se pa pou yo manje vyann lan, ni yo pa bezwen fè mèt bèf la peye anyen.
29 If the oxe were wont to push in times past, and it hath bene tolde his master, and hee hath not kept him, and after he killeth a man or a woman, the oxe shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.
Men, si se pa premye fwa bèf la atake moun, si yo te pale mèt li men mèt li pa t' fè anyen pou sa, si bèf la touye yon gason osinon yon fanm, nan ka sa a y'ap toujou touye bèf la ak koutwòch, epi y'a touye mèt la tou pou pini l'.
30 If there be set to him a summe of mony, then he shall pay the raunsome of his life, whatsoeuer shalbe laied vpon him.
Men, si yo mande mèt bèf la pou l' peye pou l' ka sove lavi pa l', se pou l' peye tou sa y'a mande l' la.
31 Whether he hath gored a sonne or gored a daughter, he shalbe iudged after the same maner.
Si bèf la atake yon ti gason osinon yon ti fi, se menm règleman an ki pou fèt.
32 If the oxe gore a seruant or a mayde, hee shall giue vnto their master thirtie shekels of siluer, and the oxe shalbe stoned.
Si bèf la atake yon esklav, kit se gason, kit se fi, mèt bèf la va bay mèt esklav la trant pyès an ajan. Bèf la menm, y'a touye l' ak koutwòch.
33 And when a man shall open a well, or when he shall dig a pit and couer it not, and an oxe or an asse fall therein,
Si yon moun kite yon pi dekouvri, ou ankò si l'ap fouye yon pi epi li kite l' san kouvèti, si yon bèf osinon yon bourik vin tonbe ladan l',
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and giue money to the owners thereof, but the dead beast shalbe his.
se pou mèt pi a peye mèt bèt la sa bèt la vo. Bèt mouri a menm va rete pou mèt pi a.
35 And if a mans oxe hurt his neighbours oxe that he die, then they shall sel the liue oxe, and deuide the money thereof, and the dead oxe also they shall deuide.
Si yon moun gen yon bèf ki touye bèf yon lòt moun ak yon koutkòn, de mesye yo va vann bèf vivan an, y'a separe lajan an mwatye pou mwatye. y'a separe vyann bèf ki mouri a tou.
36 Or if it bee knowen that the oxe hath vsed to push in times past, and his master hath not kept him, he shall pay oxe for oxe, but the dead shall be his owne.
Men, si se pa premye fwa bèf la ap bay koutkòn, si yo te pale mèt li men mèt li pa t' fè anyen pou sa, nan ka sa a, mèt bèf la gen pou peye. L'a bay yon bèf vivan pou bèf ki mouri a. Bèf mouri a menm va rete pou li.
