Exodus 21
1 “Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
Hina Gode da eno amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunuma amo hamoma: ne sia: i olelema;
2 When/If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for [only] six years. In the seventh year you must free him [from being your slave], and he is not required to pay you anything [for setting him free].
Di da Hibulu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu bidi lasea, e da ode gafeyale amoga dia hawa: hamomu. Ode fesu amoga, e da hahawane halegale ahoanoma: ne, ea logo doasima. E da dima dabe hame ima: mu.
3 If he was not married before he became your slave, and if he marries [someone while he is your slave], his wife is not to be set free [with him]. But if he was married before he became your slave, you must free both him and his wife.
E da dia hawa: hamosu lasea uda hamelai galea, e da ahoasea, uda mae lalewane masunu. Be e da dia hawa: hamosu lasea udalai galea, defea, e da ahoasea uda amola oule masunu.
4 If a slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters [while her husband is a slave], only the man is to be freed. His wife and children will continue to be slaves of their master.
Ea ouligisu dunu da ema uda ia galea, amo e da amo udama dunu mano o uda mano lalelegesea, amo uda amola ea mano da ea hina ea: Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hi fawane da fisili masunu.
5 But when it is time for the slave to be set free, if the slave says, ‘I love my master and my wife and my children, and I do not want to be set free,’
Be amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da ea ouligisu dunu, ea uda amola ea mano amoma e da asigi amola e da udigili halegale ahoanumu higa: i amo sia: sea,
6 then his master must take him to [the place where they worship] God (OR, to [the owner’s] house). There he must make the slave stand against the door or the doorpost. Then the master will use an (awl/pointed metal rod) to make a hole in the slave’s ear. Then [he will fasten a tag to the slave’s ear to indicate that] (he will own that slave for the rest of his life/he will own the slave as long as the slave lives).
amasea, ea ouligisu dunu da amo dunu sia: ne gadosu diasuga oule masunu. Amogai, ouligisu dunu da amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu logo holei mimogodi ifa dafulili leloma: ne sia: ma: mu. Amasea, ouligisu dunu da amo dunu ea ge gala: mu. Amo ilegei hamoi dagoiba: le, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da ea ouligisu dunu mae fisili, eso huluane amaiwane dialumu.
7 If a man sells his daughter to become a slave, she should not be set free [after six years], as the male slaves are.
Be dunu da idiwi udigili hawa: hamoma: ne bidi lasea, idiwi da ode fesu amoga dunu ilia hou defele, halegale hame masunu.
8 If the man who bought her wanted her to be his wife, but if [later] he is not pleased with her, he must sell her back to her father. He must not sell her to a foreigner, because that would be breaking the contract/agreement [he made with the girl’s father].
Dunu eno da amo a: fini uda la: musa: bidi lasea, be fa: no e da higasea, e da amo uda ga fi dunuma bu bidi lamu da sema bagade. E da amo uda ea adama fawane bu bidi lama: mu. Bai e da amo udama asigiwane hame hamoiba: le.
9 If the man who buys her wants her to be a wife for his son, he must then treat her as though she were his own daughter.
Dunu da egefe lama: ne, udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini amo bidi lasea, e da amo a: fini idiwi defele noga: le ouligima: mu.
10 If the master takes another slave girl to be another wife for himself, he must continue to give the first slave wife the same amount of food and clothing that he gave to her before, and he must continue to have sex [EUP] with her as before.
Dunu da uda aduna lasea, e da ea musa: lai udama ha: i manu amola abula ema asigi hou e da musa: ema i defele, bu ima: mu.
11 If he does not do all these three things for her, he must free her [from being a slave], and she is not required to pay anything [for being set free].
Be e da amo hou hame hamosea, e da ea musa: uda hahawane udigili masa: ne sia: ma: mu. E da bidi hamedafa lamu.
12 You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
Nowa dunu da dunu eno fanelegesea, amo dunu fanelegema.
13 But if the one who struck the other did not intend to kill that person, the one who struck him can escape to a place that I will choose for you, [and he will be safe there].
Be e da mae ougili giadofale eno dunu medosea, e da hobeale, Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade amoga masunu da defea. Na da amo Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade ilegemu. Amogai, e da se nabasu hame ba: mu.
14 But if someone gets angry with another person and kills him, even if the murderer runs to the altar, [a place that God designated as a place to be safe], you must execute him.
Be dunu da ougiliwane dunu eno fanelegesea, amo dunu medole legema. E da Na oloda hi gaga: ma: ne hobeasea, ema mae asigima. Amo fanelegesu dunu medole legema.
15 Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
Nowa da ea ada o ea ame amo fasea, amo medole legema.
16 Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
Nowa da dunu amo bidi lamusa: o udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hamoma: ne gasa fili gagulaligisia, amo dunu fanelegema.
17 Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
Nowa da ea ada o ame elama gagabusu aligima: ne sia: sea, amo fanelegema.
18 Suppose two people fight, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist. And suppose the person he strikes does not die but is injured and has to stay in bed [for a while],
“Dunu da gegesea, amola dunu afae da dunu eno ea lobo usunawane fasea o igiga fasea, be amo dunu da hame bogosea, ema se nabasu mae ima. Be dunu e da fai dagoi, amo da ea debea da: iya golasea, be fa: no e da dagulu gaguiwane gadili ahoanebe dawa: sea, dunu da ema fai amo e da ea hawa: hamosu bidi oloiba: le fisi, amo huluane ema imunu. Amola e da amo dunu noga: le ouligimu. E da uhinisi dagoiba: le fawane ouligisu yolesimu.
19 and later he is able to walk outside using a cane. Then the person who struck him does not have to be punished. However, he must pay the injured person the money he could not earn [while he was recovering], and he must also pay the injured person’s medical expenses until that person is well.
20 If someone strikes his male or female slave with a stick, if the slave dies (immediately/as a result) [IDM], the one who struck him must be punished.
Dunu da ifa lale, ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu o uda amo fabeba: le, udigili hawa: hamosu da hedolowane bogosea, amo dunuma se nabasu ima.
21 But if the slave lives for a day or two after he is struck [and then dies], you must not punish the one who struck him. Not having that slave to be able to work for him any longer is enough punishment.
Be amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu o uda da eso afae o aduna esalu bogosea, ouligisu dunuma se nabasu mae ima. E da ea bidi lai amo fisi dagoiba: le, amo da ema se nabasu defele lai gala.
22 Suppose two people are fighting and they hurt a pregnant woman with the result that (she has a miscarriage/her baby is born prematurely and dies). If the woman is not harmed in any other way, the one who injured her must pay a fine. He must pay whatever the woman’s husband demands, after a judge approves of the fine.
Dunu da gilisili gegesea, amola uda abula agui da se nababeba: le, mano ea hagomo ganodini gala amo fisisia, be eno se hame nabasea, dunu da se nabasu i amo da amo uda egoa ea sia: defele dabe imunu. Be fofada: su dunuma fofada: nanu, dabe imunu.
23 But if the woman is injured in some additional way, the one who injured her must be caused to suffer in exactly the same way [that he caused her to suffer]. If she dies, he must be executed.
Be amo uda hi da se bagade nabasea, dabe da esalusu fisi amo defele esalusu dabe imunu.
24 If her eye is injured or destroyed, or if he knocks out one of her teeth, or her hand or foot is injured, or if she is burned or bruised, the one who injured her must be injured in the same way.
Si wadela: sea, wadela: su dunu ea si dabe duga: ma. Bese gusia, dabe ea bese guma. Lobo o emo wadela: sea, amo dunu defele dabema.
Laluga gia: sia, dabe gia: sima. Fa: gi o fofonomasu hamosea, dabe defele ima.
26 If the owner of a slave strikes the eye of his male or female slave and ruins it, he must free that slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s eye.
Dunu da ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu o uda amo ea si fabeba: le si wadela: sea, e da dabe ima: ne amo udigili hawa: hamosu uda o dunu amo hahawane halegale masa: ne logo doasima: mu.
27 If someone knocks out one of his slave’s teeth, he must free the slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s tooth.
E da fabeba: le bese wadela: sea, e da amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu o uda amoma dabe ima: ne ea logo doasima: mu.
28 If a bull gores a man or woman with the result that the person dies, you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must not punish the owner of the bull.
“Bulamagau gawali da ea bese amoga dunu fabeba: le dunu da bogosea, amo bulamagau gawali igiga fanelegema. Ea hu amo mae moma. Be ea ouligisu dunu ema se nabasu mae ima.
29 But suppose the bull had attacked people several times before, and its owner had been warned, but he did not keep the bull inside a fence. Then you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must also execute its owner.
Be amo bulamagau gawali da musa: mae fisili dunuma doagala: musa: dawa: lalu ganiaba amola ea ouligisu dunu da sisasu nabalu, amo bulamagau gagoi ganodini hame ouligisu, amo bulamagau da ea besega dunu fanelegesea, bulamagau igiga medole legema amola ea ouligisu dunu fanelegema.
30 However, if the owner of the bull is allowed to pay a fine (to save his own life/in order not to be executed), he must pay the full amount that the judges say that he must pay.
Be eno dunu da bulamagau ouligisu amo ea esalusu gaga: musa: muni dabe imunu da defea sia: sea, defea, e da muni bagade huluane ima: ne sia: ma.
31 If someone’s bull attacks and gores another person’s son or daughter, you must treat the bull’s owner according to that same rule.
Bulamagau gawali da dunu mano o uda mano fanelegesea, amo sema da defele diala.
32 If a bull attacks and gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay to the slave’s owner 30 pieces of silver. Then you must [kill the bull by] throwing stones at it.
Bulamagau gawali da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu o uda fanelegesea, bulamagau ea ouligisu dunu da hawa: hamosu dunu o uda ea ouligisu amoma silifa fage muni 30 agoane imunu. Be bulamagau gawali amo igiga gala: le, medole legema.
33 Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
Dunu afae da uli dogoi amo ea ga: lu fadegasea, o e da uli dogone ga: lu hame figisia amola bulamagau gawali o dougi da amo ganodini bosona dasea,
34 Then the owner of the pit/cistern must pay for the animal that died. He must give the money to the animal’s owner, but then he can take away the animal that died and [do whatever he wants to with it].
e da ohe ea ouligisu amoma muni dabe defele imunu. Be e da ohe medoi, amo gagumu.
35 If someone’s bull hurts another person’s bull with the result that it dies, the owners of both bulls must sell the bull that is living, and they must divide [between them] the money [that they receive] for it. They must also divide [between them the meat of] the animal that died.
Dunu afae ea bulamagau gawali da dunu eno ea bulamagau gawali fanelegesea, amo dunu aduna da bulamagau gawali hame bogoi amo bidi lale, muni amo afafane, afae da la: di lamu eno da eno la: di lamu. Ela da bulamagau bogoi amo ea hu dadega: le, la: di la: di lamu.
36 However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died [and do with it whatever he wants to do].”
Be amo bulamagau gawali da musa: mae fisili, eno bulamagau doagala: musa: dawa: lala ganiaba amola ea ouligisu dunu da gagoi ganodini hame ouligisu, amo dunu da bogoi bulamagau ouligisu dunuma bulamagau gawali esala imunu. Be e da bulamagau bogoi amo manusa: lamu.
