Exodus 21
1 Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
A ko nga whakariteritenga enei e whakatakotoria e koe ki to ratou aroaro.
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.
Ki te hoki koe i tetahi pononga Hiperu, e ono nga tau e mahi i a ia: a i te whitu ka haere noa atu, kaua he utu.
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.
Ki te mea he takakau ia i tona haerenga mai, me haere atu ano he takakau: ki te mea he wahine tana, ko raua ko tana wahine e haere.
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.
Ki te mea na tona ariki te wahine i hoatu ki a ia, a ka whanau a raua tama, tamahine ranei; ma tona ariki te wahine ratou ko ana tamariki, ko ia anake e haere.
5 But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, —I will not go out free,
A ki te mea matanui te pononga, E aroha ana ahau ki toku ariki, ki taku wahine, ki aku tamariki; e kore ahau e haere noa atu:
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.
Na, me kawe ia e tona ariki ki te Atua; me kawe hoki ia e ia ki te tatau, ki te pou ranei o te tatau: a ka pokaia tona taringa e tona ariki ki te oka; a ka oti iho ia hei kaimahi mana.
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,
Ki te hokona atu hoki e tetahi tangata tana tamahine hei pononga, e kore e rite tona haerenga ki waho ki te haerenga o nga pononga tane.
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.
Ki te kino ia ki te titiro a tona ariki, i taumau nei i a ia mana, na, me whakahoki ia mo tetahi utu: e kore e ahei te hoko i a ia ki tetahi iwi ke; mona hoki i tinihanga ki a ia.
9 And if, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
A ki te taumautia ia e ia ma tana tama, kia rite ki te tikanga ki nga tamahine tupu tana e mea ai ki a ia.
10 If he take to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
Ki te tango ia i tetahi atu wahine mana kaua e whakaititia e ia te kai ma tera, te kakahu mona, me ta raua moe tahi.
11 But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
A ki te kahore enei mea e toru e meatia e ia ki a ia, na, me haere noa atu ia, kaua he moni.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata kia mate, me tino whakamate ano ia.
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.
A ki te kahore tetahi e whanga atu, a ka mea te Atua kia tupono ki tona ringa; na, maku e whakarite ki a koe te wahi e rere ai ia.
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.
Tena ko tenei i poka noa te tangata ki tona hoa, ki te kohuru tinihanga i a ia; me tango ia e koe i taku aata, kia mate ai ia.
15 And, he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e patu ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.
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.
Ko te tangata hoki e tahae ana i tetahi tangata, a hokona ana e ia, e kitea ana ranei ki tona ringa, me tino whakamate ano ia.
17 And he who revileth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e kanga ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.
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; —
Ki te whawhai hoki etahi tangata ki a raua a ka akina tona hoa e tetahi ki te kohatu, ka motokia ranei, a kahore ia e mate, engari ka takoto i runga i te moenga;
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.
Ki te ara ake ia, a ka haereere ki waho me te toko i tana tokotoko, katahi ka kore te hara o te tangata i patua ai ia; otiia me utu e ia tona whakamangeretanga ki te mahi, me mea hoki kia ata rongoatia kia ora ai.
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;
Ki te patu hoki te tangata i tana pononga tane, i tana pononga wahine ranei, ki te rakau, a ka mate i raro iho i tona ringa; me ata takitaki tona matenga.
21 nevertheless if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
Otiia ki te ora ia, kotahi, e rua ranei, nga ra, e kore e takitakina: no te mea ko tana moni ia.
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.
Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a ratou, a ka whara tetahi wahine e hapu ana, a ka materoto tana tamaiti, otiia kahore atu he he, me tango he utu i a ia, ara ta te tahu o te wahine e whakarite ai ki a ia; hei ta nga kaiwhakawa e mea ai tana e hom ai ai.
23 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life;
Engari ki te mate, na, me homai e koe he mate hei utu mo te mate,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, —hand for hand, foot for foot,
He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho, he ringa mo te ringa, he waewae mo te waewae,
25 brand for brand, wound for wound, —stripe for stripe.
He wera mo te wera, he motu mo te motu, he karawarawa mo te karawarawa.
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;
Ki te patua e te tangata te kanohi o tana pononga tane, te kanohi ranei o tana pononga wahine, a ka matapotia; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona kanohi.
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 ki te patua e ia kia marere te niho o tana pononga tane, te niho ranei o tana pononga wahine; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona niho.
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.
Ki te werohia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, e te kau, a ka mate; me tino aki te kau ki te kohatu, kaua ano hoki ona kikokiko e kainga; a ka tukua noatia atu te rangatira o te kau.
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.
Otiia ki te mea he kau wero ia no mua, a kua whakaaturia ki tona rangatira, a kahore ia e tiaki i a ia, a ka mate i a ia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei; me aki te kau ki te kohatu, me whakamate ano hoki tona rangatira.
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:
Ki te whakaritea kia homai e ia he moni, me homai e ia hei utu mo tona ora te mea i whakaritea ki a ia.
31 if, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to him;
Ki te mea he tama, he kotiro ranei i werohia e ia, kia rite ano ki tenei tikanga te meatanga ki a ia.
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.
Ki te wero te kau i tetahi pononga tane, i tetahi pononga wahine ranei; kia toru tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki to raua ariki, me aki hoki te kau ki te kohatu.
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,
Ki te whakatuwhera hoki te tangata i tetahi poka, ki te keria ranei e te tangata tetahi poka, a e kore e hipokina e ia, a ka taka he kau, he kaihe ranei ki roto;
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.
Me utu e te tangata nana te poka, me homai he moni e ia ki to raua ariki; a mana te mea mate.
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,
Ki te tukia te kau a tetahi tangata e te kau e tetahi, a ka mate; na, me hoko e raua te kau ora, ka wehe ai i ona tutu; me wehe ano hoki e raua te mea kua mate.
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.
Otiia ki te mea i mohiotia he kau wero ia no mua, a kahore i tiakina e tona ariki, me utu e ia te kau ki te kau; a mana te mea mate.
