Exodus 21
1 And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them.
“Ovo su propisi koje treba da im izložiš:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Kad za roba kupiš jednoga Hebreja, neka služi šest godina. Sedme godine neka ode, bez otkupnine, slobodan.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was the husband of a woman, then shall his wife go out with him.
Ako dođe sam, neka sam i ode; ako li je oženjen, neka s njim ide i njegova žena.
4 If his master should give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters: the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.
Ako mu gospodar nabavi ženu, pa mu ona rodi bilo sinova bilo kćeri, i žena i njezina djeca neka pripadnu njezinu gospodaru, a on neka ide sam.
5 And if the servant should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
Ali ako rob otvoreno izjavi: 'Volim svoga gospodara, svoju ženu i svoju djecu, neću da budem slobodan',
6 Then shall his master bring him unto the judges, and he shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him till the jubilee.
neka ga onda njegov gospodar dovede k Bogu. Kad ga dovede k vratima ili dovratku, neka mu gospodar šilom probuši uho i neka mu trajno ostane u službi.
7 And if a man sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants go out.
Kad čovjek proda svoju kćer za ropkinju, neka se ona ne oslobađa kao i muški robovi.
8 If she please not her master, to whom he hath assigned her, then shall he aid her to be redeemed: unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her, seeing he hath dealt faithlessly with her.
Ako se ne svidi svome gospodaru, koji ju je sebi bio odredio, neka joj dopusti da se otkupi. Nema prava prodati je strancima kad joj nije bio vjeran.
9 And if he should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters.
A ako je odredi svome sinu, neka s njome postupa kao i sa kćeri.
10 If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
Ako se oženi drugom, ne smije prvoj uskraćivati hrane, odjeće ili njezinih bračnih prava.
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
Ne bude li joj činio ovo troje, neka je slobodna da ode bez otkupnine.”
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
“Tko god udari čovjeka pa ga usmrti, neka se smrću kazni.
13 And if he did not lie in wait, but God let it come into his hand, then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
Ali ako to ne učini hotimično, nego Bog pripusti da padne u njegovu šaku, odredit ću ti mjesto kamo može pobjeći.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile, from my altar shalt thou take him, that he may die.
Tko hotimično navali na svoga bližnjega te ga podmuklo ubije, odvuci ga i s moga žrtvenika da se pogubi.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Tko udari svoga oca ili svoju majku, neka se kazni smrću.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, and he be found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
Tko otme čovjeka - bilo da ga proda, bilo da ga u svojoj vlasti zadrži - neka se kazni smrću.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Tko prokune svoga oca ili svoju majku, neka se kazni smrću.”
18 And if men strive together, and one smite the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
“Ako se ljudi posvade, pa jedan od njih udari drugoga kamenom ili šakom, ali ovaj ne pogine nego padne u postelju,
19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his crutch, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
ali poslije ustane i mogne izlaziti, makar i sa štapom, onda onome koji ga je udario neka je oprošteno, samo neka mu plati njegov gubitak vremena i pribavi mu posvemašnje izlječenje.
20 And if a man smite his servant or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand, it shall be surely avenged.
Ako tko udari batinom svoga roba ili svoju ropkinju te umru pod njegovom šakom, mora snositi osvetu.
21 Nevertheless, if he continue alive a day or two, it shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
Ali ako rob preživi dan-dva, neka se osveta ne provodi, jer je rob njegovo vlasništvo.
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her children depart from her, and yet no farther mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, [with a fine, ] according as the husband of the woman will lay upon him; and he shall pay this by the decision of the judges.
Ako se ljudi pobiju i udare trudnu ženu te ona pobaci, ali druge štete ne bude, onda onaj koji ju je udario neka plati odštetu koju zatraži njezin muž. On neka plati kako suci odrede.
23 And if any mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life.
Bude li drugog zla, neka je kazna: život za život,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
oko za oko, zub za zub, ruka za ruku, noga za nogu,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
opeklina za opeklinu, rana za ranu, modrica za modricu.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
Udari li tko svoga roba ili svoju ropkinju u oko i upropasti ga, neka ga oslobodi zbog oka.
27 And if he strike out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
Ako izbije zub svome robu - ili svojoj ropkinji - neka ga oslobodi zbog zuba.”
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that he die: then shall the ox be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
“Kad goveče ubode čovjeka ili ženu pa ih usmrti, neka se kamenjem kamenuje. Njegovo se meso tada ne smije pojesti, a vlasniku njegovu neka je oprošteno.
29 But if the ox were wont to gore in time past, and warning have been given to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, and he killeth a man or a woman: the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also should of right be put to death;
Ali ako je to goveče i prije bolo, a njegov vlasnik, iako opominjan, nije ga čuvao, pa ono usmrti čovjeka ili ženu, neka se to goveče kamenuje; a i njegov se vlasnik ima pogubiti.
30 But there shall be laid on him a sum of money in atonement, and he shall give the ransom of his life whatsoever may be laid upon him.
Ako se vlasniku označi otkupna cijena da svoj život iskupi, neka plati koliko mu se odredi.
31 If he gore a son, or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall be done unto him.
Ubode li goveče dječaka ili djevojčicu, neka se prema njemu postupi isto prema ovome pravilu.
32 If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, thirty shekels of silver shall he give to his master, and the ox shall be stoned.
Ako ubode roba ili ropkinju, neka vlasnik isplati njihovu gospodaru trideset srebrnih šekela, a goveče neka se kamenuje.
33 And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein:
Kad tko ostavi bunar otvoren, ili tko iskopa bunar a ne pokrije ga, pa u nj upadne goveče ili magare, vlasnik bunara ima dati naknadu:
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, he shall make restitution in money unto the owner thereof; and the dead beast shall be his.
neka isplati vlasniku u novcu, a uginula životinja neka njemu pripadne.
35 And if one man's ox hurt the ox of another, that he die: then shall they sell the live ox, and divide his money; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
Kad nečije goveče ubode goveče drugome te ono ugine, onda neka prodaju živo goveče, a dobiveni novac neka podijele; i uginulo goveče neka među sebe podijele.
36 But if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in: he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall belong to him.
Ali ako se zna da je to goveče i prije bolo, a njegov ga gospodar nije čuvao, onda mora nadoknaditi goveče za goveče, dok će uginulo živinče biti njegovo.”
