Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the ordinances which you shall set before them.
“Seerawwan ati isaan dura keessu kanneenii dha:
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you, and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.
“Ati yoo Ibroota keessaa garbicha bitatte inni waggaa jaʼa siif haa hojjetu. Waggaa torbaffaatti garuu inni kaffaltii malee bilisa haa baʼu.
3 If he should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.
Inni yoo kophaa isaa dhufee jiraate kophaa isaa bilisoomee haa deemu; yeroo dhufutti inni yoo niitii qabaate isheenis isa wajjin haa deemtu.
4 Moreover, if his master give him a wife, and she have [born] him sons or daughters, the wife and the children shall be his master's; and he shall go forth alone.
Yoo gooftaan isaa niitii isa fuusisee isheenis ilmaan yookaan intallan deesseefii jiraatte, ishee fi ijoolleen ishee kan gooftaa ishee taʼu; namichi qofti bilisa taʼee haa deemu.
5 And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;
“Garuu garbichi sun, ‘Ani gooftaa koo fi niitii koo, ijoollee koos nan jaalladha; ani bilisa baʼee deemuu hin barbaadu’ yoo jedhe,
6 his master shall bring him to the judgment-seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door, —to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
gooftaan isaa fuula abbootii murtii duratti isa haa dhiʼeessu; gara balbalaatti yookaan gara michichila balbalaatti geessees mutaadhaan gurra isaa haa uru. Ergasii inni bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa tajaajila.
7 And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maidservants depart.
“Namni yoo intala isaa akka garbittiitti gurgurate, isheen akka garbichi tokko itti bilisa baʼutti bilisa hin baʼin.
8 If she be not pleasing to her master, after she has betrothed herself to him, he shall let her go free; but he is not at liberty to sell her to a foreign nation, because he has trifled with her.
Yoo isheen goofticha ofii isaatiif ishee filate sanatti toluu baatte inni akka isheen furamtuu haa godhu. Inni waan isheef amanamuu dhabeef dabarsee ormatti ishee gurguruuf mirga hin qabu.
9 And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.
Yoo ilma isaatiif ishee filate immoo mirga intala ofii isaatiif kennu isheefis haa kennu.
10 And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].
Yoo niitii biraa fuudhe immoo niitii isaa kan jalqabaa sana nyaata, uffataa fi mirga niitiif malu itti hin hirʼisin.
11 And if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free without money.
Yoo inni wantoota sadan kanneen isheef gochuu dide garuu isheen kaffaltii maallaqaa tokko malee bilisa baʼuu qabdi.
12 And if any man strike another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.
“Namni nama rukutee ajjeesu innis haa ajjeefamu.
13 But as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his hands, I will give you a place whither the slayer may flee.
Inni riphee utuu hin eeggatin Waaqatu harka isaa buuse yoo taʼe garuu iddoo ani ramadutti haa baqatu.
14 And if any one lie in wait for his neighbor to kill him by craft, and he go for refuge, you shall take him from my altar to put him to death.
Garuu yoo namni tokko ittuma yaadee dabaan nama ajjeese iddoo aarsaa koo biraa fuudhaatii ajjeesaa.
15 Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.
“Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa rukutu haa ajjeefamu.
16 He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.
“Namni nama hatee yoo gurgurate yookaan namichi hatame sun harka isaatti yoo argame hattichi haa ajjeefamu.
17 Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel, and prevail over him and sell him, and he be found with him, let him certainly die.
“Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu haa ajjeefamu.
18 And if two men revile each other and strike the one the other with a stone or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;
“Yoo namoonni wal lolanii inni tokko isa kaan dhagaadhaan yookaan abootteedhaan rukutee namichi rukutame sun duʼuu baatee garuu siree irratti hafe,
19 if the man arise and walk abroad on his staff, he that struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for his loss of time, and for his healing.
ergasii immoo yoo inni kaʼee ulee isaa dhadhaabachaa asii fi achi ala keessa deddeeme namichi isa dhaʼe sun itti hin gaafatamu; sababii yeroo namicha miidhame sanaa jalaa balleesseef garuu gatii haa baasu; hamma inni guutumaan guutuutti fayyuttis isa haa walʼaanu.
20 And if a man strike his man-servant or his maidservant, with a rod, and [the party] die under his hands, he shall be surely punished.
“Yoo namni tokko uleedhaan garbicha isaa yookaan garbittii isaa dhaʼee garbichi sunis harka isaatti duʼe namichi haa adabamu;
21 But if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be punished; for he is his money.
garuu sababii garbichi sun qabeenya isaa taʼeef yoo garbichi sun bultii tokko yookaan bultii lama booddee kaʼe, namichi hin adabamu.
22 And if two men strive and strike a woman with child, and her child be born imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman's husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation.
“Yoo namoonni wal lolaa jiran dubartii ulfoofte tokkotti buʼanii ulfii garaadhaa baʼee garuu miidhamni hamaan ishee hin qaqqabin, namichi ishee miidhe sun waan dhirsi dubartittii isa gaafatee fi waan abbootiin murtii murteessan baasuu qaba.
23 But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life,
Yoo miidhamni hamaan jiraate garuu, qooda lubbuu, lubbuu;
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii, ilkaan; qooda harkaa, harka; qooda miillaa, miilla;
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
qooda gubuu, gubuu; qooda madaa, madaa; qooda buruqsuu, buruqsuu baafta.
26 And if one strike the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his maidservant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye's sake.
“Namni tokko yoo ija garbicha isaa yookaan ija garbittii isaa rukutee jaamse, inni qooda ija sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
27 And if he should strike out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall send them away free for their tooth's sake.
Inni yoo ilkaan garbicha isaa yookaan ilkaan garbittii isaa rukutee cabse, qooda ilkaan sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
28 And if a bull gore a man or woman and they die, the bull shall be stoned with stones, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall be clear.
“Qotiyyoon tokko yoo dhiira yookaan dubartii waraanee ajjeese qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan tumamee haa ajjeefamu; foon isaas hin nyaatamin. Garuu abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa itti hin gaafatamu.
29 But if the bull should have been given to goring in former time, and men should have told his owner, and he have not removed him, but he should have slain a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala nama waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee abbaan isaas akka isa eeggatu gorfamee garuu waan inni isa eeggachuu dideef qotiyyoon sun dhiira yookaan dubartii ajjeese, qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu; abbaan qotiyyoo sanaas haa ajjeefamu.
30 And if a ransom should be imposed on him, he shall pay for the ransom of his soul as much as they shall lay upon him.
Taʼus inni yoo gumaa gaafatame waan gaafatame hunda kaffalee lubbuu isaa haa oolfatu.
31 And if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun ilma yookaan intala tokko waraane illee seeruma kanatu hojjeta.
32 And if the bull gore a man-servant or maidservant, he shall pay to their master thirty silver didrachmas, and the bull shall be stoned.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun garbicha yookaan garbittii waraane abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa gooftaa garba sanaatiif meetii saqilii soddoma haa kaffalu; qotiyyoon sunis dhagaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu.
33 And if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall in there,
“Namni tokko yoo boolla afaan banaa dhiise yookaan yoo boolla qotee utuu hin duuchin dhiisee sangaan yookaan harreen boolla sana keessa buʼe,
34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their owner, and the dead shall be his own.
abbaan boolla sanaa abbaa horii sanaatiif maallaqa haa baasu; horiin duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
35 And if any man's bull gore the bull of his neighbor, and it die, they shall sell the living bull and divide the money, and they shall divide the dead bull.
“Yoo qotiyyoon nama tokkoo qotiyyoo nama biraa miidhee duʼaan gaʼe jarri qotiyyoo fayyaa sana haa gurgurani; gatii qotiyyoo sanaatii fi qotiyyoo duʼe sana qixxeetti haa qooddatani.
36 But if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past, and they have testified to his owner, and he have not removed him, he shall repay bull for bull, but the dead shall be his own.
Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala horii waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee garuu waan abbaan isaa isa eeggachuu dideef abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa qooda qotiyyoo, qotiyyoo haa baasu; qotiyyoon duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
