< Exodus 21 >

1 'And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before them:
“Pea ko e ngaahi fono ʻeni, ʻaia ke ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao.
2 'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;
Kapau te ke fakatau ha tamaioʻeiki ko e Hepelū, ko e taʻu ʻe ono te ne tauhi koe: pea ʻi hono fitu ʻe ʻalu atu tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
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;
Kapau naʻe haʻu tokotaha pe, ʻe ʻalu kituaʻā tokotaha pe: kapau naʻe mali, pea ʻe ʻalu hono mali mo ia.
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.
Kapau naʻe foaki ha mali kiate ia ʻe hono ʻeiki, pea kuo ne fānau kiate ia ʻae fānau tangata pe ʻe fānau fefine: ko e mali mo e fānau ʻe ʻa hono ʻeiki, pea te ne ʻalu tokotaha pe ia.
5 'And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do not go out free;
Pea kapau ʻe lea totonu ʻae tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki hoku ʻeiki, mo hoku mali, mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ke tauʻatāina au,
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.
Pea ʻe toki ʻomi ia ʻe hono ʻeiki ki he kau fakamaau; pea ʻe ʻomi ia foki ki he matapā, pe ki he pou ʻoe matapā; pea ʻe tui hono telinga ʻe hono ʻeiki ke ʻasi ʻaki ʻae hui; pea te ne tauhi ia ʻo fai maʻuaipē.
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;
“Pea kapau ʻe fakatau ʻe ha tangata hono ʻofefine ke hoko ko e kaunanga, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu kituaʻā ia ʻo hangē ko e kau tamaioʻeiki.
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.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakanofo ia kiate ia, te ne toki tukuange ia ke huhuʻi ia: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ʻene fakatau ia ki ha kakai kehe, koeʻuhi kuo fai taʻetotonu ia kiate ia.
9 'And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.
Pea kapau kuo ne fakanofo ia ki hono foha, pea te ne fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻae ʻofefine.
10 'If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;
Kapau ʻoku ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae uaifi ʻe taha: ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne fakasiʻisiʻi ʻene meʻakai, pe ko e kofu, mo e ngāue totonu ʻae uaifi.
11 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe tolu kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻiate ia, ʻe tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
12 'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;
“Ko ia ʻoku ne tali ha tangata, pea mate ai ia, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
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.
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai lamasi ia ʻe ha tangata, ka naʻe tukuange ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono nima; pea te u fakahā kiate koe ha potu ke hola ia ki ai.
14 'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe haʻu loto lahi ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he angakovi; te ke ʻave ia mei hoku feilaulauʻanga koeʻuhi ke mate ia.
15 'And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
16 'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha tangata, ʻo fakatau ia, pea kapau ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi hono nima, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
17 'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
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;
“Pea kapau ʻe fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea taaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻae tokotaha ʻaki ʻae maka, pe tuki ʻaki hono nima, pea ʻikai mate kae toka ai:
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.
Kapau ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻituʻa mo hono tokotoko, pea ʻe toki hao ai ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ia: ka ʻe totongi ia ki hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo liaki, pea te ne totongi hono fakamoʻui ke haohaoa.
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;
“Kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ko ʻene kaunanga ʻaki ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea mate ai ia ʻi hono nima; ko e moʻoni ʻe tautea ia.
21 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe moʻui ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, pe ua, ʻe ʻikai tautea ia, he ko ʻene koloa ia.
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;
“Kapau ʻoku fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea lavea ai ha fefine feitama, pea tō ai ʻene tama, pea ngata ai hono kovi: ʻe tautea moʻoni ai ʻae tangata, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻe lea ki ai ʻae mali ʻoe fefine: pea ʻe totongi ia ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae kau fakamaau.
23 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for life,
Pea kapau ʻe tupu ai ʻae kovi, ke ke ʻatu ʻae moʻui ke totongi ʻae moʻui.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Ko e mata ki he mata, ko e nifo ki he nifo, ko e nima ki he nima, ko e vaʻe ki he vaʻe,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Ko e tutu ki he tutu, ko e lavea ki he lavea, mo e tā ki he tā.
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;
“Pea kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻae mata ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki pe ko e mata ʻo ʻene kaunanga, pea kui ai; pea ʻe tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻataʻatā, koeʻuhi ko hono mata.
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.
Pea kapau te ne taaʻi ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea mokulu ai ʻae nifo, pe ko e nifo ʻo ʻene kaunanga; te ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu tauʻatāina koeʻuhi ko e nifo.
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;
“Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ha tangata pe ha fefine, pea mate ai ia: ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate, pea ʻe ʻikai kai hono sino: pea ʻe ʻataʻatā ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae pulu.
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.
Pea kapau naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻaki hono meʻatui, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe hili, pea naʻe tala ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne noʻotaki ia, ka kuo ne tāmateʻi ha tangata, pe ha fefine; ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate ia, pea ʻe tāmateʻi mo ia ʻoku ʻaʻana.
30 'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;
Pea kapau ʻe lau paʻanga kiate ia mo hono huhuʻi, pea te ne ʻatu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku tala kiate ia.
31 whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Kapau kuo ne tuiʻi ha foha pe ha ʻofefine, ʻe fai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki ha fakamaau ni.
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.
Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe he pulu ha tamaioʻeiki pe ha kaunanga; ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ki heʻena ʻeiki ʻae sikeli siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate.
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, —
“Pea kapau ʻe tangaki ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pe kapau ʻe keli ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pea ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ia, pea tō ki ai ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi;
34 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae luo te ne totongi ia, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae manu; ka e ʻaʻana ʻae manu mate.
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;
Pea kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae pulu ʻae tangata kehe, pea mate ai ia; te na toki fakatau ʻae pulu moʻui, ʻo vaeua ʻae totongi; pea te na vaeua mo e pulu mate.
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.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo, naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻi muʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai noʻotaki ia ʻe heʻene ʻeiki; ko e moʻoni te ne totongi ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae pulu; pea ʻe ʻaʻana ʻae pulu mate.
