Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the judgments which you set before them:
“Magi e chike manyaka iketi e nyimgi.
2 When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman for nothing;
“Ka ingʼiewo ja-Hibrania ma misumba, to enotini kuom higni auchiel. To e higa mar abiriyo, enobed thuolo, ka ok ochulo gimoro.
3 if he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone out with him;
Kane obiro kapok okendo, to nodog kende; to kane obiro ka osekendo, to nodog gi chiegeno.
4 if his lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes out by himself.
Ka ruodhe omiye dhako kendo onywolone yawuowi gi nyiri, dhakono kaachiel gi nyithinde nobed mwandu ruodhe kendo mana misumbano kende ema nobed thuolo.
5 And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out free,
“To ka misumba owacho ni, ‘Ahero ruodha kod chiega gi nyithinda kendo ok adwar bedo thuolo,’
6 then his lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time.
to ruodhe nyaka tere e nyim jongʼad bura. Notere e dhoot kata e siro mar dhoot kendo notuch ite gi riwi. Bangʼe obiro bedo misumbane nyaka chiengʼ.
7 And when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;
“Ka ngʼato ouso nyare kaka misumba, to ok noweye obed thuolo kaka iweyo misumba madichwo.
8 if [it is] evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he has not betrothed her, then he has let her be ransomed; he has no power to sell her to a strange people, in his dealing treacherously with her.
To ka ruoth mongʼieweno chunye ok mor kode; to ruodheno noweye mondo oware. Oonge gi thuolo mar use ne jopinje mamoko, nikech oseketho singruokne kode.
9 And if he betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right of daughters.
Ka oyiere ni wuode, to nyaka omiye duongʼ kaka nyare.
10 If he takes another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;
Ka wuowino onywomo dhako machielo, to nyaka omi dhako mokwongo chiemo, lewni kendo nyaka obed kode e achiel.
11 and if he does not do these three for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.
To ka ok ochiwone gik moko adekgi, to dhakono, ni thuolo mar dhi, maonge chudo moro amora mar pesa.
12 He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly put to death;
“Ngʼato angʼata mogoyo ngʼato kendo onego to adier nyaka negi.
13 as for him who has not laid wait, but God has brought [him] to his hand, I have even set a place for you to where he flees.
To kata kamano, ka gima otimono obothne, ma en dwach Nyasaye mondo mi otimre; to Nyasaye nomiye kar tony moseikone.
14 And when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.
To ka ngʼato ochano kendo onego ngʼat machielo kuom wangʼ teko, to goleuru oko mabor gi kar kendona mar misango kendo negeuru.
15 And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata ma omonjo wuon kata min nyaka negi.
16 And he who steals a man, and has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata mokawo nyawadgi githuon mi omiye ngʼat machielo kuom chudo kata bed ni pod opande e kindeno moyude gi ngʼatno, to nyaka nege.
17 And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Ngʼato angʼata ma okwongʼo wuon kata min nyaka negi.
18 And when men contend, and a man has struck his neighbor with a stone, or with the fist, and he does not die, but has fallen on the bed;
“Ka chwo gore kendo achiel kuomgi ogoyo nyawadgi gi kidi kata gi adhongʼ to ok otho, to obedo mana matuo kosiko e pien,
19 if he rises, and has gone up and down outside on his staff, then the striker has been acquitted; he only gives [for] his cessation, and he is thoroughly healed.
to ngʼatno mane ogocho ok nomok e wachno ka machielono ochungo mi owuotho oko gi ludhe; to kata kamano, nyaka ochul ngʼat mohinyoreno kuom thuolone mokethore kendo one ni ochango chutho.
20 And when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;
“Ka ngʼato ogoyo dichwo kata dhako ma misumba gi luth kendo misumbano otho kaluwore gi gochono, nyaka kume.
21 only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
To ok enokume ka misumbano ochungo oa malo bangʼ ndalo achiel kata ariyo, nimar misumbano en mwandune.
22 And when men strive, and have struck a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no harm [to them], he is certainly fined as the husband of the woman lays on him, and he has given through the judges;
“Ka chwo magore ogoyo dhako man-gi ich kendo onywol ka kinde nywol pok ochopo to onge hinyruok moro malich, ngʼat motimo marachno nyaka gol chudo moro amora ma chwor dhakono okwayo kendo jangʼad bura oyiego.
23 and if there is harm [to them], then you have given life for life,
To ka nitie hinyruok marach to nyaka ukaw ngima kar ngima kendo
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
wangʼ kar wangʼ, kendo lak kar lak, kendo lwedo kar lwedo kendo tielo kar tielo,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
del mowangʼ kar del mowangʼ kendo adhola kar adhola, kendo kama ogwar kar kama ogwar.
26 And when a man strikes the eye of his manservant, or the eye of his handmaid, and has destroyed it, he sends him away as a freeman for his eye;
“Ka ngʼato ogoyo wangʼ misumba madichwo kata madhako ma wangʼeno okethore, to nyaka owene misumbaneno thuolo kaka chudo mar wangʼeno.
27 and if he knocks out a tooth of his manservant or a tooth of his handmaid, he sends him away as a freeman for his tooth.
Kendo ka omuko lak misumba madichwo kata madhako, to nyaka owene misumbaneno thuolo kaka chudo mar lakeno.
28 And when an ox gores man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
“Ka rwath ochwoyo dichwo kata dhako monego, rwadhno nyaka go gi kite ma tho, kendo ringe kik cham. To wuon rwadhno wachno ok nomake.
29 and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and it has been testified to its owner, and he does not watch it, and it has put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner is also put to death.
To kata kamano, ka rwadhno osebedo gi kido mar chwopo kendo wuon-gi osesiem to ok osetweye e dipo mi onego dichwo kata dhako, rwadhno nyaka go gi kite kendo wuon-gi bende nyaka negi.
30 If atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on him;
Kata kamano, ka buch tho oloki, moketne chudo, to nyaka ochul nengo moro amora moketne mondo oresgo ngimane.
31 whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Chik achielno ema nyaka tigo ka rwadh ochwowo nyathi ma wuowi kata ma nyako
32 If the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is stoned.
Ka rwath ochwowo dichwo kata dhako ma misumba, to wuon rwadhno nyaka chul ruodh misumbano fedha ma pekne romo nus kilo, kendo rwadhno nyaka negi.
33 And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—
“Ka ngʼato oelo dho bur kata okunyo moro kendo oweyo dhoge nono mi rwadh pur kata punda onyumoree,
34 the owner of the pit repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.
to wuon burno nyaka chul kuom lalno; kendo nyaka ochul wuon gigi kendo jamni mothogo nobed mage.
35 And when a man’s ox strikes the ox of his neighbor and it has died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and they also halve the dead one;
“Ka rwadh ngʼato ohinyo rwadh ngʼat machielo mi otho, to ginius rwath mangimano kendo ginipog pesa kaachiel gi ring rwath mothono marom.
36 or, [if] it has been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and its owner does not watch it, he certainly repays ox for ox, and the dead is his.
To kata kamano, kane ongʼere ni rwadhno ne nigi kido mar chwopo, kendo wuon-gi ne osesiem to ne ok otweye, wuon-gi nyaka chul, chiayo kar chiayo kendo chiayo mothono nobed mare.
