Exodus 21
1 “Now these are the decrees that you must set before them:
Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
2 'If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve for six years, and in the seventh year he will go free without paying anything.
Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.
3 If he came by himself, he must go free by himself; if he is married, then his wife must go free 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 master gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and he must go free 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 plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children; 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 his master must bring him to God. The master must bring him to a door or doorpost, and his master must bore his ear through with an awl. Then the servant will serve him for 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 If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she must not go free as the male servants do.
Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he must let her be bought back. He has no right to sell her to a foreign people. He has no such right, since he has treated her deceitfully.
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 If her master designates her as a wife for his son, he must treat her the same as if she were his daughter.
Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
10 If he takes another wife for himself, he must not diminish her food, clothing, or her marital rights.
Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
11 But if he does not provide these three things for her, then she can go free without paying any money.
F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
12 Whoever strikes a man so that he dies, that person must surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
13 If the man did not do it with premeditation, but instead by accident, then I will fix a place to where he can flee.
Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
14 If a man willfully attacks his neighbor and kills him according to a cunning plan, then you must take him, even if he is at God's altar, so that he may die.
Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
15 Whoever hits his father or mother must surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
16 Whoever kidnaps a person—whether the kidnapper sells him, or that person is found in his hand—that kidnapper must be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
17 Whoever curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death.
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
18 If men fight and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist, and that person does not die, but is confined 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 then if he recovers and is able to walk about using his staff, the man who struck him must pay for the loss of his time; he must also pay for his complete recovery. But that man is not guilty of murder.
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 If a man hits his male servant or his female servant with a staff, and if the servant dies as a result of the blow, then that man must surely be punished.
Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
21 However, if the servant lives for a day or two, the master must not be punished, for he will have suffered the loss of the servant.
Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
22 If men fight together and hurt a pregnant woman so that she miscarries, but there is no other injury to her, then the guilty man must surely be fined as the woman's husband demands it from him, and he must pay as the judges determine.
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 there is serious injury, then you must give a life for a life,
F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,
24 an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,
fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,
25 a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, or a bruise for a bruise.
soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
26 If a man hits the eye of his male servant or of his female servant and destroys it, then he must let the servant go free in compensation 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 If he knocks out a tooth of his male servant or female servant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
Naho apiro’ ty talè ty nife’ ondevo’e ke lahilahy he ampela, le havotsotse i ondevoy; hasolo i nifey ty fihahà’e.
28 If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its flesh must not be eaten; but the ox's owner must be acquitted of guilt.
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 had a habit of goring in the past, and its owner was warned but did not keep it in, and the ox has killed a man or a woman, that ox must be stoned, and its owner also must 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 payment is required for his life, he must pay whatever he is required to pay.
Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e i ampañavahañ’azey iaby.
31 If the ox has gored a man's son or daughter, the ox's owner must do what this decree requires him to do.
Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.
32 If the ox gores a male servant or a female servant, the ox's owner must pay thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must 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 If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
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 must repay the loss. He must give money to the dead animal's owner, and the dead animal will become his.
le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
35 If one man's ox hurts another man's ox so that it dies, then they must sell the live ox and divide its price, and they must also divide the dead ox.
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 But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring in time past, and its owner has not kept it in, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will become his own.
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.
