Exodus 21
1 Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Amateeka gano gabategeeze nti:
2 If thou shalt buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
“Bw’ogulanga omuddu Omwebbulaniya, akuweererezanga emyaka mukaaga. Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu omuddizanga eddembe lye n’agenda, era talisasuliranga.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
Bw’aba nga yajja yekka, era agendanga yekka; naye bw’aba nga yajja ne mukazi we, era agendanga naye.
4 If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart by himself.
Mukama we bw’abanga amuwadde omukazi, n’amuzaalira abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala; omukazi n’abaana babanga ba mukama wa muddu oyo; omusajja yekka ye yaddizibwanga eddembe lye.
5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free:
Naye omuddu bw’agambanga nti, ‘Nze mukama wange mmwagala, ne mukazi wange n’abaana bange bonna mbagala, era seetaaga ddembe,’
6 Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door-post: and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
mukama we amutwalanga eri abalamuzi, amuleetanga ku luggi oba ku mwango gw’oluggi, n’amuwummula okutu n’olukato. Olwo anaamuweerezanga okutuusa okufa.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
“Omusajja bw’anaatundanga omwana we owoobuwala ng’omuddu, omuwala oyo taddizibwenga ddembe ng’omuddu omusajja.
8 If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
Bw’ataasanyusenga mukama we eyamugula, anaayinzanga okununulibwa. Kyokka mukama we taabenga na buyinza kumutunda mu bannamawanga, kubanga mukama we yanaabanga amukuusizakuusiza okumala okumuwasa ate n’amwegobako.
9 And if he hath betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Singa amugabira mutabani we, olwo anaabanga ng’omu ku bawala be.
10 If he shall take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.
Singa amuwasizaako omukazi omulala, mukama we taamuggyengako mmere ye oba engoye ze, wadde ebimukwatako byonna eby’obufumbo.
11 And if he shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart free without money.
Ebintu ebyo ebisatu singa abimumma, omuwala omuddu anaayinzanga okuleka mukama we n’amuvaako awatali kusasulirwa.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall be surely put to death.
“Anaakubanga omuntu n’amutta, naye ateekwa buteekwa okuttibwa.
13 And if a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
Kyokka singa akikola nga tagenderedde, naye Katonda n’akikkiriza okubaawo, anaddukanga ne yeekweka mu kifo kye ndibateekerateekera.
14 But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar, that he may die.
Naye singa omuntu anaasalanga olukwe n’alumba munne n’amutta mu bugenderevu, bw’anaabanga ku kyoto kyange, mumusikangako ne mumutwala ne mumutta.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
“Akubanga kitaawe oba nnyina, ateekwa buteekwa okuttibwa.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
“Oyo awambanga omuntu n’amutunda oba n’akwatibwa naye nga tannamutunda attibwanga buttibwa.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
“Anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina ateekwa kuttibwa.
18 And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he shall not die, but keep [his] bed:
“Abantu singa bayomba ne balwana, omu n’akuba munne ejjinja oba ekikonde, n’atafa wabula n’abeera ku kitanda;
19 If he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
singa ava ku kitanda, n’atandika n’okutambulako ebweru n’omuggo gwe, oli eyamukuba taavunaanibwenga; wabula anaasasuliranga ebiseera by’oyo gwe yakuba, era n’amujjanjaba okutuusa ng’awonedde ddala.
20 And if a man shall smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
“Omuntu bw’anaakubanga omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi n’omuggo, omuddu oyo emiggo ne gimutta, omusajja oyo anaabonerezebwanga;
21 Notwithstanding, if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he [is] his money.
naye omuddu oyo bw’anaalamanga okumala olunaku oba ennaku ebbiri, mukama we taabonerezebwenga, kubanga ye nannyini ye.
22 If men shall contend, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit shall depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
“Singa abantu babadde balwana, ne bakubiramu omukazi ali olubuto, olubuto ne luvaamu, kyokka n’atabaako mutawaana mulala gwonna, oyo amukubye anaatanzibwanga omutango bba w’omukazi gw’anaasalanga, era nga n’abalamuzi bagukkirizza.
23 And if [any] mischief shall follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Naye singa omukazi oyo abaako omutawaana ogw’amaanyi, ekibonerezo kineenkanaakananga n’ekyo ky’amukoze. Bw’anattanga anattibwanga,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
bw’anaaggyangamu eriiso lya munne, n’erirye banaaligyangamu, oba omuntu bw’anaaggyangamu erinnyo lya munne, n’erirye banaalikuulangamu, bw’anaamutemangako omukono, n’ogugwe banaagutemangako, bw’anaamutemangako ekigere, n’ekikye banaakitemangako,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
bw’anaamwokyanga, naye anaayokebwanga, bw’anaamussangako ekiwundu, naye anaassibwangako ekiwundu, bw’anaamunuubulanga, naye anaanuubulwanga.
26 And if a man shall smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it shall perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
“Omuntu bw’akubanga omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi, n’amuggyamu eriiso, anaamuddizanga eddembe lye n’amuleka n’agenda, nga kwe kumuliyira olw’eriiso eryo.
27 And if he shall smite out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
Singa akuba omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi, n’amukuulamu erinnyo, anaamuddizanga eddembe lye, nga kwe kumuliyira olw’erinnyo eryo.
28 If an ox shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] quit.
“Singa ente ya seddume etomera omusajja oba omukazi n’emutta, seddume eyo eteekwa okukubwanga amayinja n’efa, n’ennyama yaayo teriibwanga. Kyokka nannyini yo taabengako musango.
29 But if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not restrained him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
Naye seddume eyo singa emanyiddwa nga bulijjo ntomezi, era nga ne nannyini yo yalabulwako dda, kyokka n’atagisibira mu lugo lwayo, n’etta omusajja oba omukazi, eneekubwanga amayinja n’efa, ne nannyini yo anattibwanga.
30 If there shall be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Naye singa asalirwa engassi, aneenunulanga n’awona okufa ng’asasuddeyo kyonna ekinaabanga kimusaliddwa.
31 Whether he hath gored a son, or hath gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Seddume bw’eneetomeranga mutabani w’omuntu oba muwala we, etteeka lye limu eryo lye linaakozesebwanga.
32 If the ox shall push a man-servant, or maid-servant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Seddume bw’etomeranga omuddu omusajja oba omuddu omukazi, nannyini yo ateekwa okusasula mukama w’omuddu oyo, ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu, ne seddume ekubwenga amayinja efe.
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass shall fall into it;
“Omuntu bw’anaabikkulanga ekinnya n’akireka nga kyasamye, oba bw’anaasimanga ekinnya n’atakisaanikirako, seddume n’ekigwamu oba endogoyi,
34 The owner of the pit shall make compensation, [and] give money to the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.
nannyini kinnya anaasasuliranga okufiirwa okwo; anaasasulanga nannyini nsolo efudde, era n’okugitwala anaagitwalanga.
35 And if one man's ox shall hurt another's that he shall die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, and the dead [ox] also they shall divide.
“Seddume y’omuntu bw’eneerumyanga seddume y’omulala, n’emala egitta; banaatundanga seddume ennamu, ensimbi ne bazigabana; ne seddume enfu nayo banaagigabananga.
36 Or if it shall be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.
Oba singa seddume eyo ng’emanyiddwa nga ntomezitomezi, naye nannyini yo nga tagiggalira mu lugo lwayo, ateekwa asasule seddume olwa seddume, yo enfu eneebanga yiye.
