Exodus 21
1 “Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
你要在眾人前立定這些法度：
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].
假使你買了一個希伯來人作奴隸，他只勞作六年，第七年應自由離去，無須贖金。
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.
他若單身而來，也應單身而去；他若娶了妻子而來的，也應讓他的妻子與他同去。
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.
若主人給他娶了妻子，妻子也生了子女，妻子和子女都應歸於主人，他仍要單身離去。
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,’
若是那奴隸聲明說：我愛我的主人和妻子子女，我不願離去作自由人。
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).
他的主人應領他到天主前，然後領他到門口或門框前，用錐子穿透他的耳朵，如此他可常久服侍主人。
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.
假使有人將女兒賣作婢女，她不可像男僕那樣離去。
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].
若主人已定她為自己的妻子，以後又厭惡了她，應許她贖身，但因主人對她失了信，不能把她賣給外方人民。
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.
若主人定了她作自己兒子的妻子，就應以待女兒的法律待她。
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.
若主人為自己另娶了一個，對前妻的飲食、衣服與合歡之誼，不可減少。
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].
若對她不實行這三條，她可以離去，無贖金或代價。殺人或傷人的賠償法
12 You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
凡打人至死的，應受死刑。
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].
但若不是有意殺人，而是天主許他的手行的，我給你指定一個他可以逃避的地方。
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.
假使有人向人行兇，蓄意謀殺，應將他由我的祭壇前抓來處死。
15 Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
凡打父親或母親的，應受死刑。
16 Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
凡拐帶人口的，無論已將人賣了，或者還在他手中，都應受死刑。
17 Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
凡咒罵父親或母親的，應受死刑。
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],
假使兩人吵架，一人用石頭或鋤頭打了另一人，被打的人未死，卻應臥床休養，
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.
他以後若能起床，能扶杖出外，打他的人，可免處分，但應賠償他失業的損失，把他完成醫好。
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.
假使有人用棍杖打奴僕或婢女被打死在他手中，必受嚴罰。
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.
但若奴婢還活了一兩天，便不受處分，因為他是用銀錢買來的。
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.
假使人們打假，撞傷了孕婦，以致流產，但沒有別的損害，傷人者為這罪應按女人的丈夫所提出的，判官所斷定的，繳納罰款。
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.
若有損害，就應以命償命，
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.
以眼還眼，以牙還牙，以手還手，以腳還腳，
以烙還烙，以傷還傷，以疤還疤。
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.
假使有人打壞奴僕或婢女的一隻眼睛，為了他的眼睛應讓他自由離去。
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.
若有人打掉奴隸或婢女的一隻牙，為了他的牙應讓他自由離去。牲畜傷人賠償法
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.
牛無論牴死男或女，應用石頭砸死這牛，並且不許吃牠的肉，牛主不受懲罰。
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.
但若這隻牛以前牴過人，牛主也受過警告，而仍不加防範，這牛無論牴死男女，牛應砸死，牛主也應受死刑。
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.
若是給他提出了贖價，他應照所提出的一切數目繳納贖命罰金。
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.
牛若牴死了男女兒童，也應照這法律處理。
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.
牛若牴死了一個奴僕或婢女，應給僕婢的主人三十銀「協刻耳，」牛應砸死。傷害牲畜賠償法
33 Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
假使有人敞著旱井，或挖掘旱井時，不加掩蓋，無論牛或驢陷在裏面，
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].
井主應賠償，應給牛主銀錢，死的牲畜歸自己。
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.
假使一人的牛牴死別人的牛，應把活牛賣了，銀錢平分，死牛也平分。
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].”
但若查明這隻牛從前牴死過牛，牛主又不加以防範，牛主應該賠償，以牛還牛，死牛歸自己。偷竊賠償法
