Egzòd 21
1 Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
Now 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 shalt buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart 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 depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart 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 hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart 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 shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart 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 his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door-post: and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him 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.
And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
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 shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully 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 hath 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.
If he shall take him 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 shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart 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 dieth, shall be surely 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 a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver [him] into his hand; then I will 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 shall come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar, 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 be surely 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, or if he shall be found in his hand, he 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 contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he shall not die, but keep [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 shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, 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 shall smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
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.
Notwithstanding, if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; 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 shall contend, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit shall depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
23 Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
And if [any] mischief shall follow, then thou shalt 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, 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 if a man shall smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it shall perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
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 shall smite out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
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 shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall 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 was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not restrained him, but that he hath killed a man or a 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 there shall be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever 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.
Whether he hath gored a son, or hath gored a daughter, according to this judgment 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 the ox shall push a man-servant, or maid-servant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, 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 shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass shall 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 make compensation, [and] give money to the owner of them; 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 shall hurt another's that he shall die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, 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.
Or if it shall be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.
