< Exodus 21 >
1 "Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Tala mibeko oyo okoyebisa bana ya Isalaele:
2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
« Soki bosombi Mo-Ebre moko lokola mowumbu, akosalela bino mibu motoba; na mobu ya sambo, akozwa bonsomi mpe akofuta eloko moko te.
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.
Soki azalaki monzemba tango ayaki, asengeli kokende ye moko; kasi soki azalaki na mwasi tango ayaki, mwasi na ye asengeli kokende na ye elongo.
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.
Soki nkolo na ye apesaki ye mwasi mpe mwasi yango abotelaki ye bana mibali to bana basi, mwasi mpe bana bakozala ya nkolo na ye; mobali akokende ye moko.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'
Kasi soki mowumbu alobi: ‹ Nalingaka nkolo na ngai, mwasi na ngai mpe bana na ngai, nalingi te kozwa bonsomi, ›
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.
wana nkolo na ye asengeli komema ye liboso ya basambisi; akomema ye na ezipelo ya ekuke to na mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke mpe akotobola ye litoyi na motonga; mpe mowumbu akosalela nkolo yango mpo na libela.
7 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
Soki moto ateki mwana na ye ya mwasi lokola mwasi mowumbu, mwana yango akozwa bonsomi te ndenge bawumbu bazwaka yango.
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.
Soki mwana mwasi asepelisi te nkolo oyo aponaki ye mpo ete azala mowumbu na ye, nkolo yango akotika ete mwana mwasi asikolama; azali na ndingisa te ya koteka ye epai ya bapaya. Kasi soki ateki ye, wana asambwisi ye.
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Soki aponaki mwana mwasi yango mpo ete azala mwasi ya mwana na ye ya mobali, asengeli kokokisa makambo oyo mibeko esengaka mpo na kobala mwasi.
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
Soki abali mwasi mosusu, akolongola eloko te na oyo etali kolia, kolata mpe oyo basalelaka mwasi ya libala.
11 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
Soki apimeli ye ata eloko moko kati na biloko oyo misato, wana mwasi oyo akoki kokende na bonsomi mpe akofuta eloko moko te.
12 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
Moto oyo akobeta moninga na ye kino koboma ye, basengeli koboma ye.
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
Nzokande, soki azalaki na likanisi ya koboma te, kasi Nzambe atiki ete yango esalema na nzela ya maboko na ye, moto wana akokima na esika oyo Ngai Yawe nakopona.
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.
Kasi soki moto akaneli moninga na ye mpe aluki koboma ye na mayele mabe, okomema ye mosika ya etumbelo na Ngai mpo na koboma ye.
15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
Moto oyo akobeta tata to mama na ye, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
16 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.
Moto oyo akokanga moto mosusu na makasi mpo na kokima na ye, ezala soki ateki moto yango to bakangi ye na moto yango na maboko, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
17 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
Moto oyo akolakela tata to mama na ye mabe, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
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;
Soki bato baswani, bongo moko abeti moninga likofi to libanga; mpe moto oyo babeti likofi to libanga akufi te kasi abeli makasi;
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.
soki moto oyo babeti atelemi mpe atamboli na nzete kino na libanda, bakokatela moto oyo abetaki ye etumbu te, kasi akofuta kaka mikolo oyo moto yango azalaki kosala te mpe akosalisa ye kino akobika.
20 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
Soki moto abeti mowumbu na ye ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu na ye, bongo mowumbu yango akufi na mbala moko, moto wana asengeli kozwa etumbu.
21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
Kasi soki mowumbu yango awumeli lisusu na bomoi mokolo moko to mibale, wana nkolo na ye akozwa etumbu te, pamba te asombaki ye na mbongo.
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.
Soki mibali, wana bazali kobunda, batutani na mwasi ya zemi, bongo mwasi yango aboti mwana matsombe mpe likama mosusu emonani te, wana basengeli kofuta lomande ndenge mobali ya mwasi yango akokata kolanda mokano ya basambisi.
23 But if there is injury, then you must take life for life,
Kasi soki likama ezali, okofuta bomoi mpo na bomoi:
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu, loboko mpo na loboko, lokolo mpo na lokolo,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
kozika mpo na kozika, pota mpo na pota, litutu mpo na litutu.
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.
Soki moto abeti mowumbu na ye ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu na ye na liso, mpe liso yango ekufi, moto yango akopesa bonsomi na mowumbu mpo na liso na ye.
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.
Soki abuki linu ya mowumbu na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi mowumbu na ye, akopesa ye bonsomi mpo na linu na ye.
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.
Soki ngombe ebomi moto na maseke, basengeli koboma ngombe yango na mabanga, mpe bakolia mosuni na yango te; nzokande nkolo na yango akozwa etumbu te.
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.
Soki ngombe ezali na momesano ya kobeta bato maseke, bongo bakebisi makasi nkolo na yango, kasi ye abateli kaka ngombe na ye malamu te mpe yango ebomi moto; basengeli koboma ngombe yango na mabanga mpe nkolo na yango asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.
Kasi soki basengi ye lomande mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye, akofuta nyonso oyo bakosenga ye.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Bakosalela mpe mobeko oyo soki ngombe ebeti mwana mobali to mwana mwasi maseke.
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.
Soki ngombe ebeti mowumbu ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu maseke, nkolo na yango asengeli kofuta mbongo ya bibende, tuku misato, epai ya nkolo ya mowumbu, mpe bakobamba ngombe yango mabanga.
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,
Soki moto atiki libulu polele to atimoli libulu mpe azipi yango te, bongo ngombe to ane ezindi kuna;
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
nkolo libulu asengeli kofuta epai ya nkolo nyama mbongo oyo ekokani na motuya ya nyama oyo esili kokufa, mpe nyama yango ekokoma ya ye.
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.
Soki ngombe ya moto moko ebomi ngombe ya moto mosusu, esengeli koteka ngombe oyo ezali na bomoi mpe kokabola na kati-kati mbongo mpe ngombe oyo esili kokufa.
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.
Kasi soki eyebani ete ngombe yango emesana kobeta bato maseke, bongo nkolo na yango abateli yango malamu te; wana asengeli kofuta ngombe mpo na ngombe, mpe ngombe ya kokufa ekokoma ya ye.
