Exodus 21
1 'And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before them:
“Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn òfin tí ìwọ yóò gbé sí iwájú wọn.
2 'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;
“Bí ìwọ bá yá ọkùnrin Heberu ní ìwẹ̀fà, òun yóò sìn ọ́ fún ọdún mẹ́fà. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún keje, òun yóò lọ ni òmìnira láìsan ohunkóhun padà.
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;
Bí ó bá wá ní òun nìkan, òun nìkan náà ni yóò padà lọ ní òmìnira; ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá mú ìyàwó wá, ó ní láti mú ìyàwó rẹ̀ padà lọ.
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.
Bí olówó rẹ̀ bá fún un ní aya, tí aya náà sì bímọ ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, aya àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ti olówó rẹ̀, yóò sì lọ ní òmìnira ní òun nìkan.
5 'And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do not go out free;
“Bí ẹrú náà bá sì wí ní gbangba pé, mo fẹ́ràn olúwa mi, ìyàwó mi àti àwọn ọmọ, èmi kò sì fẹ́ ẹ́ gba òmìnira mọ́,
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.
nígbà náà ni olúwa rẹ̀ yóò mu wá sí iwájú ìdájọ́. Òun yóò sì mú un lọ sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà tàbí lọ sí ibi ọ̀wọ̀n, yóò sì fi ìlu lu etí rẹ̀, òun yóò sì máa sin olówó rẹ̀ títí ayé.
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;
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ta ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ bí ìwẹ̀fà, ọmọbìnrin yìí kò ní gba òmìnira bí i ti ọmọkùnrin.
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.
Bí òun kò bá sì tẹ́ olówó rẹ̀ lọ́rùn, ẹni tí ó fẹ́ ẹ fún ara rẹ̀, yóò jẹ́ kí wọn ó rà á padà, òun kò ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti tà á bí ẹrú fún àjèjì, nítorí pé òun ni kò ṣe ojúṣe rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìwẹ̀fà náà.
9 'And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.
Bí ó bá fẹ́ ẹ fún ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, kò ní máa lò ó bí ìwẹ̀fà mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n yóò máa ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin.
10 'If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;
Bí ó bá fẹ́ obìnrin mìíràn, kò gbọdọ̀ kùnà ojúṣe rẹ̀ nípa fífún un ní oúnjẹ àti aṣọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ kùnà ojúṣe rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkọ sí aya.
11 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
Bí ó bá kùnà láti ṣe àwọn nǹkan mẹ́ta wọ̀nyí fún un, òun yóò lọ ní òmìnira láìsan owó kankan padà.
12 'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;
“Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá lu arákùnrin rẹ̀ pa, pípa ni a ó pa á.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí kò bá mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ pa á, tí ó bá jẹ́ àmúwá Ọlọ́run ni, òun yóò lọ sí ibi tí èmi yóò yàn fún un.
14 'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá mú arákùnrin rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi ẹ̀tàn pa á. Ẹ mú un kúrò ní iwájú pẹpẹ mi kí ẹ sì pa á.
15 'And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pa baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, pípa ni a ó pa á.
16 'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá jí ènìyàn gbé, tí ó sì tà á tàbí tí ó fi pamọ́, pípa ni a ó pa á.
17 'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣépè fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, pípa ni a ó pa á.
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;
“Bí àwọn ọkùnrin méjì bá ń jà, ti ọ̀kan sọ òkúta tàbí fi ìkùùkuu lu ẹnìkejì rẹ̀, tí ó sì pa á lára, ti irú ìpalára bẹ́ẹ̀ mu kí ó wà lórí ìdùbúlẹ̀ àìsàn.
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.
Ẹni tó lu ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ kò ní ní ẹ̀bi, níwọ̀n ìgbà ti ẹni tí a lù bá ti lè dìde, tí ó sì lé è fi ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ rìn káàkiri. Ẹni náà ni láti san owó ti ó fi tọ́jú ara rẹ̀ padà fún un, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ara rẹ̀ bá ti yá tan pátápátá.
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;
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi ọ̀pá lu ẹrúkùnrin tàbí ẹrúbìnrin rẹ̀, ti ẹrú náà sì kú lójú ẹsẹ̀, a ó fi ìyà jẹ ẹ́.
21 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
Ṣùgbọ́n a kò ní fi ìyà jẹ ẹ́, ti ẹrú náà bá yè, tí ó dìde lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kan tàbí méjì, nítorí ẹrú náà jẹ́ dúkìá rẹ̀.
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;
“Bí àwọn ènìyàn ti ń jà bá pa aboyún lára, tí aboyún náà bá bímọ láìpé ọjọ́, ṣùgbọ́n tí kò sí aburú mìíràn mọ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó fa ìpalára yìí yóò san iyekíye tí ọkọ aboyún náà bá béèrè fún, bí ilé ẹjọ́ bá ṣe gbà láààyè gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó ìtánràn.
23 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for life,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìpalára náà bá yọrí sí ikú aboyún náà, pípa ni a ó pa ẹni ti ó fa ikú aboyún náà.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Ojú fún ojú, eyín fún eyín, ọwọ́ fún ọwọ́, ẹsẹ̀ fún ẹsẹ̀,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
ìjóná fún ìjóná, ọgbẹ́ fún ọgbẹ́, ìnà fún ìnà.
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;
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá lu ẹrúkùnrin tàbí ẹrúbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ojú, ti ojú náà sì fọ́, ó ni láti jẹ́ kí ẹrú náà lọ ní òmìnira fún ìtánràn ojú rẹ̀ ti ó fọ́.
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.
Bí ó bá sì lu ẹrúkùnrin tàbí ẹrúbìnrin rẹ̀ ti eyín rẹ̀ fi ká, ó ni láti jẹ́ kí ó lọ ní òmìnira ni ìtánràn fún eyín rẹ̀ tí ó ká.
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;
“Bí akọ màlúù bá kan ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin kan pa, a ó sọ akọ màlúù náà ní òkúta pa, a kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n a kò ní dá ẹni tí ó ni akọ màlúù náà lẹ́bi, ọrùn oní akọ màlúù náà yóò sì mọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá ti di ìgbà gbogbo ti akọ màlúù náà ti máa ń kan ènìyàn, tí a sì ti ń kìlọ̀ fún olówó rẹ̀, ti olówó rẹ̀ kò sì mú un so, tí ó bá kan ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin pa, a ó sọ akọ màlúù náà ní òkúta pa, a ó sì pa olówó rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
30 'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;
Bí àwọn ará ilé ẹni tí ó kú bá béèrè fún owó ìtánràn, yóò san iye owó tí wọ́n bá ní kí ó san fún owó ìtánràn láti fi ra ẹ̀mí ara rẹ̀ padà.
31 whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Bí akọ màlúù bá kan ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin pa, a ó ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin yìí ti là á kalẹ̀.
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.
Bí akọ màlúù bá kan ẹrúkùnrin tàbí ẹrúbìnrin pa, olówó rẹ̀ yóò san ọgbọ̀n ṣékélì fàdákà fún ẹni tó ni ẹrú, a ó sì sọ akọ màlúù náà ni òkúta pa.
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, —
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ṣí kòtò sílẹ̀ láìbò tàbí kí ó gbẹ́ kòtò sílẹ̀ láìbò, tí màlúù tàbí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ bọ́ sínú kòtò náà.
34 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his.
Ẹni tí ó ni kòtò yóò san owó àdánù yìí fún ẹni tí ó ni ẹran. Òkú ẹran náà yóò sì di tirẹ̀.
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;
“Bí akọ màlúù ọkùnrin kan bá pa akọ màlúù ẹlòmíràn lára tí ó sì kú, wọn yóò ta akọ màlúù tó wà láààyè, wọn yóò sì pín owó èyí tiwọn tà àti ẹran èyí tí ó kú dọ́gbadọ́gba.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá ti di ìgbà gbogbo tí akọ màlúù náà máa ń kan òmíràn, tí olówó rẹ̀ kò sì mú un so, olówó rẹ̀ yóò san ẹran dípò ẹran. Ẹran tí ó kú yóò sì jẹ́ tirẹ̀.
