Egzòd 21
1 Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 Si ou achte yon esklav Ebre, li va sèvi pou sizane, men nan setyèm ane a li va sòti tankou yon moun lib san peye frè.
If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee: in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 Si li antre li sèl li, li va sòti sèl. Si se mari a yon madanm, alò, madanm nan va sòti avè l.
With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.
4 Si mèt li bay li yon madanm, e li fè fis oswa fi pou li, madanm nan avèk pitit li yo va rete pou mèt li, e li va sòti sèl.
But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters: the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.
5 Men si esklav la di byen klè: “Mwen renmen mèt mwen, madanm mwen, ak pitit mwen yo; mwen p ap sòti tankou moun lib,”
And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
6 alò, mèt li va mennen li devan Bondye, e apre li va mennen li vè pòt la, oswa chanbrann pòt la. Epi konsa, mèt li va pèse zòrèy li avèk yon pwenson, e li va sèvi li nèt jis pou tout tan.
His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.
7 Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.
8 Si li vin degoutan nan zye mèt li ki te anvizaje li pou li menm, alò, li va kite li ransone. Li pa gen otorite pou vann li a yon pèp etranje, akoz sa li fè pa jis.
If she displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered, he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign nation, if he despise her.
9 Si li ta dezinye l pou marye ak fis li, li va trete li selon koutim pwòp fi li yo.
But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 Si li ta vin pran pou li menm yon lòt fanm, li pa ka redwi manje li, vètman li, ni dwa konjigal li.
And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her chastity.
11 Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.
12 Sila ki frape yon mesye pou li mouri va vrèman mete a lanmò.
He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.
13 Men si sa pa t rive pa eksprè nan anbiskad, men Bondye kite sa rive, alò, Mwen va chwazi yon kote pou li kapab sove ale.
But he that did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands: I will appoint thee a place to which he must flee.
14 Si, alò, yon mesye aji avèk mechanste kont vwazen li, pou l kab touye li nan koken, ou va pran li menm si se sou lotèl la, pou li kapab mouri.
If a man kill his neighbour on set purpose and by lying in wait for him: thou shalt take him away from my altar, that he may die.
15 Sila ki frape papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
16 Sila ki kidnape yon nonm, oswa ke li vann li, oswa yo twouve li nan posesyon li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.
17 Sila ki modi papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
18 Si de mesye gen yon kont e youn frape lòt la avèk yon wòch, oswa avèk pwen li, e li pa mouri, men l pa ka leve sou kabann li,
If men quarrel, and the one strike his neighbour with a stone or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19 si li ta leve mache deyò, malgre asistans baton li, alò, sila ki te frape li a va rete san pinisyon. Li va peye sèlman pou tan ke li pèdi a, e li va kontinye okipe li jis lè li fin geri nèt.
If he rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, he that struck him shall be quit, yet so that he make restitution for his work, and for his expenses upon the physicians.
20 Si yon mesye frape esklav li, kit mal kit femèl, avèk yon baton, epi li vin mouri nan men l, li va pini.
He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
21 Malgre sa, si li leve apre youn oswa de jou, li p ap pini, pwiske sèvitè a se pwòp byen li ke li ye.
But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
22 Si de mesye vin lite youn avèk lòt, yo frape yon fanm ansent e li vin akouche avan lè, men pa gen lòt pwoblèm, li va peye yon amann jan mari a fanm nan kapab mande li, e li va peye li selon desizyon jij yo.
If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award.
23 Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
24 zye pou zye, dan pou dan, men pou men, pye pou pye,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 brile pou brile, blese pou blese, brize pou brize.
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 Si yon mesye frape zye esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, e li pèdi zye a, li va bay li libète akoz pèt zye a.
If any man strike the eye of his manservant or maidservant, and leave them but one eye, he shall let them go free for the eye which he put out.
27 Si li kraze fè pèt a yon dan esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, li va ba li libète akoz dan an.
Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.
28 Si yon bèf frennen yon mesye oswa yon fanm avèk kòn li, pou l mouri, bèf la va vrèman lapide jiskaske li mouri, e chè li p ap manje; men mèt bèf la p ap pini.
If an ox gore a man or a woman, and they die, he shall be stoned: and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
29 Men si yon bèf te deja gen abitid frennen moun e mèt li te avèti deja, men li pa t okipe sa, e li vin touye yon mesye oswa yon fanm, bèf la va lapide, e mèt li anplis va mete a lanmò.
But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday and the day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, an his owner also shall be put to death.
30 Si yon aman ranson vin enpoze pou konsève lavi l, nenpòt sa yo mande, li va peye l,
And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Si se yon fis oswa si se yon fi ke li frennen, l ap fèt menm jan selon menm règ la.
If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.
32 Si bèf la frennen yon mal oswa yon femèl esklav, mèt la va bay mèt li trant sik lajan, e bèf la va lapide.
If he assault a bondman or a bond woman, he shall give thirty sicles of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 Si yon mesye ouvri yon fòs, oswa fouye yon fòs e li pa kouvri li, yon bèf, oswa yon bourik tonbe ladann,
If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
34 mèt fòs la va bay rekonpans. Li va bay lajan a mèt li, e bèt mouri a va vin pou li.
The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.
35 Si bèf a yon mesye vin donmaje bèf a yon lòt, e li mouri, alò yo va vann bèf vivan an e divize pri li mwatye pou yo chak; epi osi yo va divize bèt mouri an.
If one man’s ox gore another man’s ox, and he die: they shall sell the live ox, and shall divide the price, and the carcass of that which died they shall part between them:
36 Men, si li te deja rekonèt ke bèf la te gen abitid frennen, men mèt li pa t okipe sa, li va vrèman peye bèt pou bèt, e bèt mouri an va vin pou li.
But if he knew that his ox was wont to push yesterday and the day before, and his master did not keep him in: he shall pay ox for ox, and shall take the whole carcass.
