Exodus 21
1 "Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.
“अब तैँले तिनीहरूका सामु राख्ने आदेशहरू यी नै हुन्:
2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
तिमीहरूले हिब्रू कमारा किन्यौ भने त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नुपर्छ, र सातौँ वर्षमा केही नतिरी त्यो मुक्त हुनेछ ।
3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
त्यो एक्लै आएको हो भने त्यो एक्लै जाओस् । त्यो विवाहित हो भने त्यो आफ्नी पत्नीसँगै जाओस् ।
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई पत्नी दिएका भए र त्यसले पतिको निम्ति छोराछोरीहरू जन्माएकी भए पत्नी र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू मालिकको हुनेछन्, तर पतिचाहिँ मुक्त हुनेछ ।
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'
तर कमाराले सफासँग “म मेरा मालिक, मेरी पत्नी र मेरा छोराछोरीलाई प्रेम गर्छु; म मुक्त भएर जान्नँ”
6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
भन्यो भने त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई परमेश्वरको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ । मालिकले त्यसलाई ढोका वा ढोकाको सङ्घारमा ल्याई त्यसको कान सुतारोले छेडिदिनुपर्छ । तब त्यस कमाराले जीवनभर मालिकको सेवा गर्नेछ ।
7 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नी छोरीलाई कमारीको रूपमा बेच्यो भने कमाराहरूजस्तै त्यो मुक्त भएर जानुहुँदैन ।
8 If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
त्यसले आफ्ना मालिकलाई खुसी पारिन भने त्यसलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाइयोस् । त्यसलाई परदेशीकहाँ बेच्ने अधिकार मालिकलाई हुँदैन । मालिकले त्यसलाई छलपूर्वक व्यवहार गरेकोले त्योसित त्यस्तो अधिकार हुँदैन ।
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
मालिकले त्यसलाई आफ्नो छोरोकी पत्नी हुन दियो भने त्यसलाई आफ्नी छोरीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गरोस् ।
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
त्यसले आफ्नो लागि अर्की पत्नी ल्यायो भने त्यसले खानेकुरा, लुगाफाटा वा त्यसका वैवाहिक अधिकारहरू पुरा गर्नबाट नचुकोस् ।
11 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
तर त्यसले पत्नीलाई यी तिनवटा कुरा उपलब्ध गराएन भने दाम नतिरीकनै त्यो मुक्त भएर जान सक्छे ।
12 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
कसैले कुनै मानिसलाई मर्ने गरी हिर्कायो भने त्यसलाई निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
त्यसले जानाजानी यसो नगरी भवितव्य पर्न गएको रहेछ भने म त्यो भागेर जान सक्ने ठाउँ तोकिदिनेछु ।
14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
कुनै मानिसले जानाजानी आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आक्रमण गरी धूर्त योजनामुताबिक मार्यो भने त्यो परमेश्वरको वेदीमा भए तापनि त्यसलाई मार्नलाई लगियोस् ।
15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई हिर्काउने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
16 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.
जसले कुनै व्यक्तिलाई अपहरण गरी त्यसले उसलाई बेच्यो वा पक्रिँदा त्यसकै हातमा फेला पर्यो भने अपहरणकारीलाई मारिनैपर्छ ।
17 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई सराप्ने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
18 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;
मानिसहरू एक-अर्कासित झगडा गर्दा एउटाले अर्कोलाई ढुङ्गाले वा मुक्काले हिर्कायो र त्यो व्यक्ति नमरी ओछ्यान पर्यो
19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
र त्यो फेरि उठेर आफ्नो लट्ठीको सहायताले यताउता हिँड्न सक्यो भने हिर्काउनेले त्यसको समयको हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले ऊ पूर्ण निको नभएसम्म सबै खर्च पनि दिनुपर्छ । तर त्यो मानिस हत्याको दोषी भने हुँदैन ।
20 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीलाई लट्ठीले हिर्काउँदा मुक्का लागेर मर्यो भने त्यस मानिसलाई निश्चय नै दण्ड दिइनुपर्छ ।
21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
तर त्यो एक-दुई दिनसम्म बाँच्यो भने मालिकलाई दण्ड दिइनुहुँदैन किनकि उसले नोकरको क्षति भोग्नेछ ।
22 "If men fight and strike a pregnant woman so that her child is born prematurely, but there is no injury, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.
मानिसहरू सँगसँगै झगडा गर्दा गर्भवती महिलालाई हानि पुगी त्यसको बच्चा तुहियो तर त्यो आफैलाई कुनै चोट लागेन भने त्यस स्त्रीको पतिले मागेबमोजिम दोषी मानिसलाई हर्जाना तिराइनुपर्छ, र न्यायकर्ताहरूले तोकेबमोजिम त्यसले तिर्नुपर्छ ।
23 But if there is injury, then you must take life for life,
तर गम्भीर चोट लागेको रहेछ भने त्यस मानिसलाई प्राणको सट्टा प्राण
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
आँखाको सट्टा आँखा, दाँतको सट्टा दाँत, हातको सट्टा हात, खुट्टाको सट्टा खुट्टा
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
डामको सट्टा डाम, चोटको सट्टा चोट र कुटाइको सट्टा कुटाइ मिलोस् ।
26 "If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको आँखामा हिर्काएर त्यसलाई नष्ट गरिदियो भने उसले आँखाको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
27 If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
उसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको दाँत निकालिदियो भने उसले दाँतको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
28 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
कुनै गोरुले पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई सिङले हानेर मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ, र त्यसको मासु खाइनुहुँदैन ।
29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
तर गोरुको मालिकचाहिँ निर्दोष होस् । तर गोरुको विगतमा हान्ने बानी थियो र त्यसको मालिकलाई यसबारे चेताउनी दिँदा पनि उसले बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ र गोरुले पुरुष वा महिलालाई मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनैपर्छ र त्यसको मालिकलाई पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.
त्यसको जीवनको लागि कुनै मूल्य माग गरिएको छ भने मागेजति मालिकले दिनुपर्छ ।
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
गोरुले कुनै मानिसको छोरो वा छोरीलाई हानेको छ भने त्यसको मालिकले नियमअनुसार तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
गोरुले कमारा वा कमारीलाई हान्यो भने त्यसको मालिकले चाँदीको तिस सिक्का देओस् र गोरुलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारियोस् ।
33 "If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
कुनै मानिसले खाडललाई उदाङ्गै राख्यो वा त्यसले खाडल खनेर त्यसलाई ढाकेन र त्यसभित्र गोरु वा गधा खस्यो भने
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
खाडल खन्नेले हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले मृत पशुको मालिकलाई रुपियाँ तिर्नपर्छ र त्यो मरेको पशु त्यसको हुनेछ ।
35 "If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
एउटा मान्छेको गोरुले अर्को मान्छेको गोरुलाई चोट पुर्याएर त्यो मर्यो भने त्यसले जिउँदो गोरुलाई बेची तिनीहरूले त्यसको मूल्य बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले मरेको गोरुलाई पनि बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
तर त्यस गोरुको विगतमा पनि हान्ने बानी रहेछ र त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ भनी थाहा हुन आयो उसले गोरुको सट्टा गोरु तिर्नुपर्छ अनि मरेको पशु त्यसको मालिकको हुनेछ ।
