Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the judgments which you set before them:
Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
2 When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman 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 comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone 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 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.
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 And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go 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 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.
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 And when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;
Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
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.
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 And if he betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right of daughters.
Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
10 If he takes another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;
Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
11 and if he does not do these three for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.
F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
12 He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly put to death;
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
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.
Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
14 And when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.
Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
15 And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
16 And he who steals a man, and has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
17 And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
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;
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 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.
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 when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;
Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
21 only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
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;
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 and if there is harm [to them], then you have given life for life,
F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
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;
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 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.
Naho apiro’ ty talè ty nife’ ondevo’e ke lahilahy he ampela, le havotsotse i ondevoy; hasolo i nifey ty fihahà’e.
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;
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 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.
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 atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on him;
Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e i ampañavahañ’azey iaby.
31 whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.
32 If the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is 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 opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—
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 repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.
le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
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;
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 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.
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.
