Egzòd 21
1 Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
And these are the laws of justice 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; and 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.
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was the husband of a woman, then shall his wife 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.
If his master should give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters: the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.
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 should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my 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.
Then shall his master bring him unto the judges, and he shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him till the jubilee.
7 Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
And if a man sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants 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 please not her master, to whom he hath assigned her, then shall he aid her to be redeemed: unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her, seeing he hath dealt faithlessly with her.
9 Si li ta dezinye l pou marye ak fis li, li va trete li selon koutim pwòp fi li yo.
And if he should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the 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.
If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
12 Sila ki frape yon mesye pou li mouri va vrèman mete a lanmò.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely 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.
And if he did not lie in wait, but God let it come into his hand, then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall 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.
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile, from my altar shalt thou take him, that he may die.
15 Sila ki frape papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely 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.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, and he be found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17 Sila ki modi papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to 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,
And if men strive together, and one smite the other with a stone, or with the 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 crutch, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 Si yon mesye frape esklav li, kit mal kit femèl, avèk yon baton, epi li vin mouri nan men l, li va pini.
And if a man smite his servant or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand, it shall be surely avenged.
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.
Nevertheless, if he continue alive a day or two, it shall not be avenged; for he 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 strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her children depart from her, and yet no farther mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, [with a fine, ] according as the husband of the woman will lay upon him; and he shall pay this by the decision of the judges.
23 Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
And if any mischief follow, then shalt thou give 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, bruise for bruise.
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.
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
27 Si li kraze fè pèt a yon dan esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, li va ba li libète akoz dan an.
And if he strike out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
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, that he die: then shall the ox be surely 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 were wont to gore in time past, and warning have been given to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, and he killeth a man or a woman: the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also should of right be put to death;
30 Si yon aman ranson vin enpoze pou konsève lavi l, nenpòt sa yo mande, li va peye l,
But there shall be laid on him a sum of money in atonement, and he shall give the ransom of his life whatsoever may be 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 gore a son, or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall be done unto him.
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 the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, thirty shekels of silver shall he give to his 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,
And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein:
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 make it good, he shall make restitution in money unto the owner thereof; and the dead beast shall be his.
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.
And if one man's ox hurt the ox of another, that he die: then shall they sell the live ox, and divide his money; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
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 it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in: he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall belong to him.
