Exodus 21
1 Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
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.
Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.
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.
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 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.
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 But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, —I will 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 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.
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 shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
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.
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, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
10 If he take to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
11 But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
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.
Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
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.
Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
15 And, he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
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.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
17 And he who revileth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
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; —
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 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.
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 shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall, surely be avenged;
Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
21 nevertheless if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
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.
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 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give 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 brand for brand, wound for wound, —stripe for stripe.
soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, a sin-covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be 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 if, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to him;
Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.
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.
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 openeth a pit, or when a man diggeth a pit, and doth not cover it, —and there falleth thereinto an ox or an ass,
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, shall make it good, silver, shall he pay back to the owner thereof, —and the dead beast, shall be his.
le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
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,
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 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.
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.
