1 “Maya nĩmo mawatho marĩa ũkũhe andũ a Isiraeli:
And these [are] the judgments which you will set before them.
2 “Ũngĩgũra Mũhibirania arĩ ndungata, agaakũrutĩra wĩra mĩaka ĩtandatũ. No mwaka wa mũgwanja, nĩũkamũrekereria athiĩ, na ndagakũrĩha kĩndũ.
For you will buy a slave Hebrew six years he will serve and in the seventh [year] he will go out to free [person] without paying.
3 Angĩgooka arĩ wiki, akaarekererio athiĩ arĩ o wiki; no angĩgooka arĩ na mũtumia, makaarekererio mathiĩ marĩ hamwe.
If with body his he will come with body his he will go out if [is the] husband of a wife he and she will go out wife his with him.
4 Mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo angĩmĩhe mũtumia nake mũtumia ũcio amũciarĩre ciana cia aanake na airĩtu, mũtumia ũcio na ciana ciake magaatuĩka a mwathi ũcio wake, na no ndungata ĩyo ya mũndũ mũrũme ĩkaarekererio ĩthiĩ.
If master his he will give to him a wife and she will bear to him sons or daughters the woman and children her she will belong to master her and he he will go out with body his.
5 “No ndungata ĩyo ĩngĩkaaria, ĩmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnyendete mwathi wakwa, na mũtumia wakwa na ciana na ndikwenda kũrekererio thiĩ,’
And if carefully he will say the slave I love master my wife my and children my not I will go out a free [person].
6 hĩndĩ ĩyo mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo nĩakamĩtwara mbere ya atuithania ciira. Akaamĩtwara mũrango-inĩ, kana hingĩro-inĩ ya mũrango, na amĩtũre gũtũ na mũkuha. Nayo ndungata ĩyo ĩgaatuĩka ya mwathi ũcio matukũ ma muoyo wayo wothe.
And he will bring near him master his to God and he will bring near him to the door or to the doorpost and he will pierce master his ear his with the awl and he will serve him for ever.
7 “Mũndũ angĩendia mwarĩ agatuĩke ndungata, ndĩkarekererio ĩthiĩ ta ũrĩa ndungata cia arũme ciĩkagwo.
And if he will sell a man daughter his to a female slave not she will go out when go out the [male] slaves.
8 Ĩngĩaga gũkenia mwathi ũrĩa wamĩthuurĩte, no nginya etĩkĩre ndungata ĩyo ĩkũũrwo. Ndarĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kwendia ndungata ĩyo kũrĩ ageni, tondũ nĩagĩte kwĩhokeka harĩ yo.
If she is bad in [the] eyes of master her who (for himself *Q(K)*) he designated her and he will let be ransomed her to a people foreign not he will have dominion to sell her because has dealt treacherously he with her.
9 Angĩmĩũrĩria mũriũ, no nginya amĩtue ta ĩrĩ mwarĩ wake mwene.
And if for son his he will designate her according to [the] custom of daughters he will do to her.
10 Mũriũ angĩhikia mũtumia ũngĩ, ndakaime ũrĩa wa mbere irio na nguo, na ndakamũime kĩhooto gĩake ta mũtumia wake.
If another [woman] he will take for himself food her covering her and right to intercourse her not he will reduce.
11 Angĩaga kũmũhingĩria maũndũ maya matatũ-rĩ, akĩrekererio athiĩ, gũtarĩ na mbeeca ikũrĩhwo.
And if three [things] these not he will do for her and she will go out without paying not money.
12 “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgũtha mũndũ amũũrage, ti-itherũ o nake no akooragwo.
[one who] will strike anyone And he will die certainly he will be put to death.
13 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ekĩte ũguo atekwenda-rĩ, no gũtuĩke nĩ Ngai ũtũmĩte ũndũ ũcio wĩkĩke, nake mũndũ ũcio nĩakoorĩra kũndũ kũrĩa ngaathuura.
And that not he was lying in wait and God he allowed to happen to hand his and I will designate for you a place where he will flee there.
14 No mũndũ angĩtũmĩra mawara na oorage mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ akĩendaga-rĩ, mweheriei kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa, na mũmũũrage.

18 “Andũ mangĩũgitana na ũmwe aringe ũrĩa ũngĩ na ihiga kana na ngundi na aage gũkua, no akome ũrĩrĩ kwa ihinda-rĩ,
And if they will quarrel! men and he will strike anyone neighbor his with a stone or with a fist and not he will die and he will fall to a bed.
19 ũcio mũringani ndagacookererwo nĩ mahĩtia angĩkorwo ũrĩa waringĩtwo nĩakehota na etware nja na mũtirima wake. No rĩrĩ, no nginya arĩhe mahinda ma mũndũ ũcio mũtihie marĩa morĩte na one atĩ nĩahona biũ.
If he will arise and he will walk about on the outside on staff his and he will be free from guilt the [one who] struck only sitting still his he will pay for and certainly he will have [him] healed.
20 “Mũndũ angĩhũũra ngombo yake ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja na rũthanju, nayo ngombo ĩyo ĩkue nĩ ihũũra rĩu-rĩ, no nginya aherithio,
And if he will strike anyone [male] slave his or female slave his with the rod and he will die under hand his certainly he will be avenged.
21 no ndangĩherithio ngombo ĩyo ĩngĩarahũka thuutha wa mũthenya ũmwe kana ĩĩrĩ, tondũ ngombo ĩyo nĩ kĩndũ gĩake.
Nevertheless if a day or two days he will remain not he will be avenged for [is] money his he.
22 “Andũ mangĩkorwo makĩrũa, maringe mũtumia ũrĩ nda, ahune no ndagĩe na thĩĩna ũngĩ-rĩ, ũrĩa ũmũringĩte nĩakarĩha kĩrĩa gĩothe mũthuuri wa mũtumia ũcio ageetia, igooti rĩetĩkĩria.
And if they will struggle together men and they will strike a woman pregnant and they will come out children her and not it will be harm certainly he will be fined just as he will impose on him [the] husband of the woman and he will give for [the] estimate.
23 No mũtumia ũcio angĩtihio ũũru, muoyo nĩũrĩhagio na muoyo, na
And if harm it will be and you will give a life in place of a life.
24 riitho rĩrĩhagio na riitho, na igego rĩrĩhagio na igego, na guoko kũrĩhagio na guoko, na kũgũrũ kũrĩhagio na kũgũrũ, na

And if it will gore an ox a man or a woman and he will die certainly it will be stoned to death the ox and not it will be eaten meat its and [the] owner of the ox [will be] free from guilt.
29 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ndegwa ĩyo nĩĩmenyerete gũtheeca andũ na rũhĩa, na mwene nĩamenyithĩtio ũhoro ũcio nake akaaga kũmĩhingĩra, nayo ĩcooke yũrage mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, ndegwa ĩyo no nginya ĩhũũrwo na mahiga ĩkue, na mwene o nake no nginya ooragwo.

Or a son it will gore or a daughter it will gore according to the judgment this it will be done to him.
