Egzòd 21
1 Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put 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.
When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve, —but in the seventh shall he go out freely—for nought.
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, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out, —if he was married, 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 lord gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, 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,”
But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, —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 lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door-post, —and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
7 Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
And when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
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 is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously 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, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
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 to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
11 Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
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.
But he who hath not lain in wait, but, God, hath occasioned him to come to his hand, then will I appoint for thee a place, whither he may 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, when a man shall act presumptuously against his neighbour to slay him with guile, from mine altar, shalt thou take him to 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 of the sons of Israel, and selleth him, or 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 who revileth 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 when men strive together, and one shall smite the other, with a stone or with his fist, —and he die not, but shall fall to 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 and shall walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be acquitted, —only, for his loss of time, he shall pay, and, shall surely heal, him.
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 when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall, surely be 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, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
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.
And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.
23 Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
But, if 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.
brand for brand, 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.
And, when a man smiteth the eye of his servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and destroyeth it, he shall send him forth, free, for 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.
or, if, the tooth of his servant or the tooth of his handmaid, he knock out, he shall send him forth, free, for 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.
And when an ox goreth a man or a woman, and death ensueth, the ox shall, surely be stoned and his flesh shall not be eaten, and 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 gore before that time and it hath been attested to his owner, and he hath not proceeded to put him under guard, and he causeth the death of man or woman, the ox, shall be stoned, and, 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,
If, a sin-covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be laid on him:
31 Si se yon fis oswa si se yon fi ke li frennen, l ap fèt menm jan selon menm règ la.
if, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to 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, a servant the ox gore, or a handmaid, thirty shekels of silver, shall he give to his lord, 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 when a man openeth a pit, or when a man diggeth a pit, and doth not cover it, —and there falleth thereinto an ox or an ass,
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, silver, shall he pay back to 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 when the ox of one man thrusteth the ox of his neighbour so that it dieth, then shall they sell the live ox and divide the silver thereof, and the dead ox also, shall they 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.
Or if it was known that, an ox, was, wont to gore, before that time, and his owner proceeded not to put him under guard, he shall surely make good, —an ox for the ox, and, the dead one, shall be his.
