Exodus 21
1 Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
Te phoeiah laitloeknah he amih mikhmuh ah khueh pah.
2 When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve, —but in the seventh shall he go out freely—for nought.
Hebrew sal te na lai atah kum rhuk thotat saeh lamtah kum rhih hlang dongah tah sayalh la cet yungyi saeh.
3 If, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out, —if he was married, then shall his wife go out with him.
Amah bueng hoengpoek la ha pawk atah amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh. A yuu a va a om atah a yuu khaw amah neh cet saeh.
4 If his lord gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, and, he shall go out by himself.
A boei loh anih te yuu a paek tih anih ham canu capa a sak atah a yuu neh a ca tah a boei kah ni. Tedae amah te amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh.
5 But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, —I will not go out free,
Tedae sal loh, “Ka boei ka lungnah tih ka yuu neh ka ca he sayalh la ka coe tak mahpawh a ti khaw a ti khaming.
6 then shall his lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door-post, —and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
Te vaengah anih te a boei loh Pathen mikhmuh la khuen saeh lamtah thohkhaih taeng neh rhungsut taengla thoeih saeh. Te vaengah a boei loh a hna te ciphuem neh vueh pah saeh kumhal ham anih taengah thotat saeh.
7 And when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
Te phoeiah hlang loh a canu te sal la a yoih atah, sal tongpa a caeh bangla cet mahpawh.
8 If she is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously with her.
A boei mik ah a thae atah anih te amah ham tuentah saeh lamtah lat saeh. Salnu taengah a hnukpoh coeng dongah salnu te kholong pilnam taengla yoih ham taemrhai boel saeh.
9 And if, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
Salnu te a capa ham a tuentah coeng atah anih te amah canu kah hamsum bangla saii pah saeh.
10 If he take to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
Amah ham te a tloe a loh atah, salnu kah a maeh, a himbai neh a hutakoe te hnop pah boel saeh.
11 But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
He pathum he anih ham a saii pah pawt atah, tangka mueh la cet yungyi pawn saeh.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
Hlang a boh tih a duek atah amah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
13 But he who hath not lain in wait, but, God, hath occasioned him to come to his hand, then will I appoint for thee a place, whither he may flee.
Anih loh rhaem ngawn pawt dae Pathen loh anih kut ah a rhul sak oeh atah nang ham hmuen ka khueh vetih te lam te rhaelrham bitni.
14 But, when a man shall act presumptuously against his neighbour to slay him with guile, from mine altar, shalt thou take him to die.
Tedae hlang loh a hui te ngawn ham taengnah neh a lokhak atah anih te ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh khuen lamtah duek saeh.
15 And, he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
A manu a napa aka taam khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
16 And, he that stealeth a man of the sons of Israel, and selleth him, or he be found in his hand, shall, surely be put to death.
Hlang aka huen neh te te a yoih vaengah a kut ah a hmuh pah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 And he who revileth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
A manu a napa aka tap khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
18 And when men strive together, and one shall smite the other, with a stone or with his fist, —and he die not, but shall fall to his bed; —
Hlang rhoi te oelh uh rhoi tih hlang pakhat loh a hui te lungto neh, kuthluem neh a thuk dae duek pawt tih thingkong dongah a yalh atah,
19 if he rise and shall walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be acquitted, —only, for his loss of time, he shall pay, and, shall surely heal, him.
thoo tih poeng ah a conghol neh a pongpa atah anih aka ngawn te hmil mai saeh. A bipoei phu tah pae saeh lamtah hoeih rhoe hoeih sak saeh.
20 And when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall, surely be avenged;
Hlang loh a salpa neh a salnu te conghol neh a taam tih a kut hmuiah a duek atah a phuloh ham te a phulo kuekluek saeh.
21 nevertheless if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
Tedae hnin hnih hnin at neh a thoh atah anih te amah tangka coeng dongah phulo boel saeh.
22 And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.
Hlang a hnueih vaengah huta bungvawn te a si tih a ca te thoeng mai ni. Tedae yoethae puei pawt cakhaw huta kah a va amah lamloh a hoe te tah sah rhoe sah saeh. Tedae rhokhan tarhing la pae saeh.
23 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life;
Tedae yoethae a puei atah hinglu ham te hinglu na paek van ni.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, —hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mik yueng mik, no yueng no, kut yueng kut, kho yueng ah kho,
25 brand for brand, wound for wound, —stripe for stripe.
Hmai-ung yueng hmai-ung, tloh yueng tloh, boengha yueng boengha van saeh.
26 And, when a man smiteth the eye of his servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and destroyeth it, he shall send him forth, free, for his eye;
Hlang loh a salpa mik a salnu mik te a ngawn pah tih a rhawp sak atah a mik yueng te sayalh la hlah saeh.
27 or, if, the tooth of his servant or the tooth of his handmaid, he knock out, he shall send him forth, free, for his tooth.
A salpa no neh a salnu no te a hom sak atah a no yueng anih te sayalh la hlah saeh.
28 And when an ox goreth a man or a woman, and death ensueth, the ox shall, surely be stoned and his flesh shall not be eaten, and the owner of the ox, shall be quit.
Vaito loh tongpa khaw, huta khaw a thoeh tih a duek atah vaito te dae rhoe dae saeh lamtah a saa te ca boel saeh. Tedae vaito kungmah tah ommongsitoe ngawn saeh.
29 But, if, the ox, was wont to gore before that time and it hath been attested to his owner, and he hath not proceeded to put him under guard, and he causeth the death of man or woman, the ox, shall be stoned, and, his owner also, shall be put to death.
Tedae vaito te hlaem hlavai ah khaw a toh noek dongah a kungmah te a rhalrhing sak lalah ngaithuen pawt tih tongpa khaw huta khaw a duek sak atah vaito te dae saeh lamtah a kungmah khaw duek saeh.
30 If, a sin-covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be laid on him:
Anih taengah tlansum a suk atah te lamloh a hoe boeih te a hinglu kah tlansum pae van saeh.
31 if, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to him;
Capa a thoeh akhaw canu khaw a thoeh akhaw hekah laitloeknah bangla a taengah saii saeh.
32 if, a servant the ox gore, or a handmaid, thirty shekels of silver, shall he give to his lord, and, the ox, shall be stoned.
Vaito loh salpa khaw, sal huta khaw a thoeh atah a boei te tangka shekel sawmthum pae saeh lamtah vaito te dae saeh.
33 And when a man openeth a pit, or when a man diggeth a pit, and doth not cover it, —and there falleth thereinto an ox or an ass,
Hlang loh tangrhom khaw a ong tih hlang loh rhom khaw a vueh vaengah te te muek pawt tih vaito khaw laak khaw a cungku atah,
34 the owner of the pit, shall make it good, silver, shall he pay back to the owner thereof, —and the dead beast, shall be his.
Tangrhom kungmah loh thuung saeh lamtah a boei te tangka la mael saeh. Tedae aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
35 And when the ox of one man thrusteth the ox of his neighbour so that it dieth, then shall they sell the live ox and divide the silver thereof, and the dead ox also, shall they divide,
Hlang pakhat kah vaito loh a hui kah vaito te a si tih a duek atah vaito hing te yoi rhoi saeh lamtah a tangka te tael uh rhoi saeh. Te phoeiah aka duek te khaw tael uh rhoi saeh.
36 Or if it was known that, an ox, was, wont to gore, before that time, and his owner proceeded not to put him under guard, he shall surely make good, —an ox for the ox, and, the dead one, shall be his.
Tedae hlaem hlavai ah khaw vaito kah a toh noek te a ming lalah a kungmah loh te te a khoem pawt atah vaito yueng te vaito neh thuung rhoe thuung saeh lamtah aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
