Exodus 21
1 Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:
Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
2 If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.
Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.
3 If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Ie dogalahy te mizilik’ ao le i hadogà’ey ty hiakara’e; ie manam-baly te mizilike le amam-bali’e ka te hiavotse.
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.
Ie tolora’ ty talè’e valy vaho mahatoly ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela ama’e le ho a i talè’ey i vali’ey naho o ana’eo, le doga re te hiakatse ao.
5 But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,
Fe naho mitsey ty hoe i mpitoro’ey, Kokoako ty talèko naho ty valiko vaho o anakoo; tsy te hiakatse ampidadàn-draho,
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.
le hasese’ i talè’ey añatrefan’ Añahare. Hendeseñe mb’an-tsarirañe mb’eo ndra am-pikalan-dalañe eo le ho trofahe’ ty talè’e fañity ty ravembia’e vaho ho toroñe’e kitro añ’afe’e.
7 Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
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.
Naho heje’ ty talè’e, ie jinobo’e ho am-bata’e, le azo jebañeñe; fe tsy hanan-jo handetak’ aze ami’ty ambahiny naho heje’e, ie nifañahia’e.
9 But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.
Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
10 If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.
Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
11 And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.
F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
12 He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall dye the death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
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.
Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
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.
Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
15 Also hee that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be founde with him, shall die the death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
17 And hee that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
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,
Naho mifañotake t’indaty vaho dasire’ ty raike am-bato ty raike ndra lihiñe’e an-toto-fetreke, f’ie tsy mivetrake, fa mikopake an-tihy,
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.
aa naho mitroatse indatiy naho midraidraitse alafe’e ao am-pitoñoñe, le avotsotse i nandafay, fe havaha’e i fitoboha’ey vaho tsi-mete tsy hatrafe’e ampara’ t’ie jangañe.
20 And if a man smite his seruant, or his maide with a rod, and he die vnder his hande, he shalbe surely punished.
Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
21 But if he continue a day, or two dayes, hee shall not be punished: for he is his money.
Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
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.
Naho mijoy ty ampela mivesatse t’indaty mifandrapake vaho mahaboloañe ty ana’e tsy añom-bolañe, fe tsy orihem-boy, le toe ho liloveñe re ami’ty hampanoa’ ty vali’ i rakembay vaho hampañondrohe’ o mpizakao.
23 But if death follow, then thou shalt paye life for life,
F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hande for hand, foote for foote,
fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wounde, stripe for stripe.
soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
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.
Aa naho trofahe’ ty talè’e ty maso’ ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela vaho mijoy aze, le havotso’ i talè’ey hidada i ondevoy, ho solo’ i masoy.
27 Also if he smite out his seruants tooth, or his maides tooth, he shall let him goe out free for his tooth.
Naho apiro’ ty talè ty nife’ ondevo’e ke lahilahy he ampela, le havotsotse i ondevoy; hasolo i nifey ty fihahà’e.
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.
Naho mitomboke ondaty ty añombe naho mampihomak’ aze le tsi-mete tsy ho retsahem-bato i añombey vaho tsy ho kamaeñe ty nofo’e; fa votsotse ty tompo’ i añombey.
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.
Aa naho nilili’ i añombey omale ndra fak’omale ty mandronjeronje amo tsifa’eo ie nampandrendreheñe i tompo’ey, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse vaho mañe-doza amy t’indaty ndra rakemba i añombey, le ho fetsahem-bato i añombey vaho havetrake i tompo’ey.
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.
Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e i ampañavahañ’azey iaby.
31 Whether he hath gored a sonne or gored a daughter, he shalbe iudged after the same maner.
Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.
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.
Naho mitomboke ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela ka i añombey le ampañavaheñe volafoty sekele 30 i tompo’ey vaho retsahem-bato i añombey.
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,
Naho sokafe’ t’indaty ty koboñe, he mihaly kadaha fa tsy kapefa’e vaho mikorovok’ ao ty añombe ndra birìke,
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and giue money to the owners thereof, but the dead beast shalbe his.
le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
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.
Naho joie’ ty añombe’ ondaty ty aze, le haleta’ iareo i veloñey naho ho zarae’ iereo roe i vili’ey vaho ifanjarañe i matey.
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.
Fe naho nifohiñe te lili’ i añombey ty mandronje, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse, le havaha’ i tompo’ey añombe i añombey vaho aze i matey.
