Exodus 21
1 'And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before them:
Torej to so sodbe, ki jih boš postavil prednje.
2 'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;
Če kupiš hebrejskega služabnika, naj ti služi šest let. V sedmem letu pa naj odide prost, brez plačila.
3 if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone out with him;
Če je sam prišel, naj sam odide. Če je bil poročen, potem naj njegova žena odide z njim.
4 if his lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters — the wife and her children are her lord's, and he goeth out by himself.
Če mu je njegov gospodar dal ženo in mu je rodila sinove ali hčere, naj bodo žena in njeni otroci [od] njegovega gospodarja, on pa naj odide sam.
5 'And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do not go out free;
Če mu bo služabnik jasno rekel: ›Ljubim svojega gospodarja, svojo ženo in svoje otroke; ne bom odšel svoboden, ‹
6 then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him — to the age.
potem naj ga njegov gospodar privede k sodnikom. Prav tako naj ga privede k vratom ali k podboju in njegov gospodar naj njegovo uho prebode s šilom, on pa naj mu za vedno služi.
7 'And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants;
Če človek proda svojo hčer, da postane dekla, naj ona ne odide, kakor storijo služabniki.
8 if evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously with her.
Če ne ugaja svojemu gospodarju, ki si jo je zaročil, tedaj naj bo odkupljena. Ne bo imel oblasti, da jo proda v tuj narod, glede na to, da je z njo ravnal varljivo.
9 'And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.
Če jo je zaročil svojemu sinu, naj z njo postopa po načinu hčera.
10 'If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;
Če si vzame drugo ženo, naj njene hrane, njenega oblačila in njene zakonske dolžnosti ne zmanjša.
11 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
Če ji ne stori teh treh stvari, potem naj ta odide ven prosta, brez denarja.
12 'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;
Kdor udarja človeka, tako da umre, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
13 as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee.
Če človek ne preži nanj, temveč ga Bog izroči v njegovo roko, potem bom določil kraj, kamor naj zbeži.
14 'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.
Toda če pride človek prepotentno nad svojega bližnjega, da ga z zvijačo ubije, ga odvedi od mojega oltarja, da lahko umre.
15 'And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
Kdor udarja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
16 'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
Kdor ugrabi človeka in ga prodaja ali če je le-ta najden v njegovi roki, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
17 'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
Kdor preklinja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
18 'And when men contend, and a man hath smitten his neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but hath fallen on the bed;
Če se moža skupaj prepirata in je eden udaril drugega s kamnom ali s svojo pestjo, pa ta ne umre, temveč se drži svoje postelje;
19 if he rise, and hath gone up and down without on his staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation he giveth, and he is thoroughly healed.
če ta ponovno vstane in hodi okoli na svoji palici, potem naj bo tisti, ki ga je udaril, oproščen. Samo plačal mu bo za izgubo njegovega časa in poskrbel bo, da bo temeljito ozdravljen.
20 'And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand — he is certainly avenged;
Če človek udari svojega služabnika ali svojo služabnico s palico in le-ta pod njegovo roko umre, naj bo zagotovo kaznovan.
21 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
Vendar če preživi dan ali dva, naj ne bo kaznovan, kajti on je njegov denar.
22 'And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him, and he hath given through the judges;
Če se moža prepirata in poškodujeta nosečnico, tako da njen sad odide od nje in ne sledi nobena škoda, naj bo ta zagotovo kaznovan glede na to, kakor mu naloži ženin soprog. Plača naj, kakor mu bodo določili sodniki.
23 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for life,
Če sledi katerakoli nesreča, potem boš dal življenje za življenje,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
oko za oko, zob za zob, roko za roko, stopalo za stopalo,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
opeklino za opeklino, rano za rano, udarec z bičem za udarec z bičem.
26 'And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye;
Če človek udari oko svojega služabnika ali oko svoje služabnice, da le-ta propade, naj ga pusti oditi svobodnega zaradi njegovega očesa.
27 and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for his tooth.
Če svojemu slugi izbije zob ali zob svoji dekli, naj ga pusti oditi prostega zaradi njegovega zoba.
28 'And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
Če vol zabode moškega ali žensko, da umreta, potem naj bo vol zagotovo kamnan in njegovo meso naj se ne jé, toda lastnik vola naj bo oproščen.
29 and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it, and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner also is put to death.
Toda če je imel vol navado, da je s svojim rogom bodel v preteklem času in je bilo to pričevano njegovemu lastniku, pa ga ta ni držal zaprtega, temveč da je usmrtil moškega ali žensko, naj bo vol kamnan in tudi njegov lastnik naj bo usmrčen.
30 'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;
Če mu bo naložena vsota denarja, potem naj da za odkupnino svojega življenja, karkoli mu bo naloženo.
31 whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Če je nabodel sina ali nabodel hčer, naj mu bo storjeno glede na to sodbo.
32 'If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned.
Če bo vol pobodel sluga ali deklo, naj njihovemu gospodarju da trideset šeklov srebra, vol pa naj bo kamnan.
33 'And when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen thither, —
Če bo človek odprl jamo ali če bo človek izkopal jamo in je ne bo pokril in vanjo pade vol ali osel,
34 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his.
naj lastnik jame to dobro naredi in da denar lastniku le-teh; mrtva žival pa naj bo njegova.
35 'And when a man's ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour, and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and also the dead one they do halve;
Če pa vol nekega človeka poškoduje drugega, da ta umre, potem naj prodajo živega vola in razdelijo denar od njega; in prav tako naj razdelijo mrtvega vola.
36 or, it hath been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his.
Ali če je bilo znano, da je imel vol navado v preteklem času bosti, pa ga njegov lastnik ni imel zaprtega, naj zagotovo plača vola za vola, mrtvi pa naj bo njegov.
