Fitowa 21
1 “Waɗannan su ne dokokin da za ka sa a gabansu.
“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
2 “In ka sayi mutumin Ibraniyawa a matsayin bawa, zai bauta maka shekara shida. Amma a shekara ta bakwai, za ka’yantar da shi, yă tafi’yantacce, ba tare da ya biya kome ba.
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
3 In ya zo shi kaɗai, zai tafi’yantacce shi kaɗai; amma in yana da mata a lokacin da ya zo, za tă tafi tare da shi.
If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
4 In maigidansa ya yi masa aure, ta kuwa haifa masa’ya’ya maza ko mata, matan da’ya’yan, za su zama na maigidan, sai mutumin kaɗai zai tafi’yantacce.
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 “Amma in bawan ya furta ya ce, ‘Ina ƙaunar maigidana, da matata, da’ya’yana, ba na so kuma in’yantu,’
But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
6 dole maigidansa yă kai shi gaban alƙalai. Zai kai shi ƙofa ko madogarar ƙofa, yă huda kunnensa da basilla, sa’an nan zai zama bawansa duk tsawon kwanakinsa a duniya.
then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
7 “In mutum ya sayar da’yarsa a matsayin baiwa, ba za a’yantar da ita kamar bawa ba.
And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
8 In ba tă gamshi maigida wanda ya zaɓe ta domin kansa ba, dole yă bari a fanshe ta. Ba shi da dama yă sayar da ita ga baƙi, tun da yake bai kyauta mata ba.
If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
9 In ya zaɓe ta domin ɗansa, dole yă ba ta duk damar da’ya ta mace take da shi.
And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
10 In ya auri wata mace, ba zai hana wa baiwar abinci da sutura ba, ba kuma zai ƙi kwana da ita ba.
If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
11 In bai tanada mata waɗannan abubuwa uku ba, sai tă tafi’yantacciya, babu biyan kome.
If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
12 “Duk wanda ya bugi mutum har ya kashe shi, lalle a kashe shi.
Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
13 Amma in ba da nufin yă kashe shi ba, sai dai in Allah ne ya nufa haka, to, sai mutumin yă tsere zuwa inda zan nuna muku.
If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14 Amma in mutumin ya yi dabara har ya kashe wani mutum da gangan, sai a ɗauke shi daga bagadena a kashe shi.
But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
15 “Duk wanda ya bugi mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, dole a kashe shi.
Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
16 “Duk wanda ya saci mutum ya sayar da shi, ko kuwa aka iske shi a hannunsa, lalle kashe shi za a yi.
Whoever kidnaps another man must be put to death, whether he sells him or the man is found in his possession.
17 “Duk wanda ya la’anta mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, dole a kashe shi.
Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
18 “Idan mutane suka yi faɗa, ɗayan ya jefa ɗayan da dutse, ko ya naushe shi amma bai mutu ba, sai dai ya yi ta jiyya,
If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
19 idan mutumin ya sāke tashi ya yi tafiya ko da yana dogarawa da sanda ne, wanda ya buge shi zai kuɓuta, sai dai zai biya diyyar lokacin da ya ɓata masa, yă kuma lura da shi, har yă warke sarai.
then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
20 “In mutum ya dūke bawansa ko baiwarsa da sanda, sai bawan ko baiwar ta mutu saboda dūkan, dole a hukunta shi,
If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21 amma ba za a hukunta shi ba, in bawan ko baiwar ta tashi, bayan kwana ɗaya ko biyu, tun da bawan ko baiwar mallakarsa ne.
However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property.
22 “Idan mutum biyu suna faɗa, har suka yi wa mace mai ciki rauni, har ya sa ta yi ɓari, amma wani lahani bai same ta ba, za a ci wa wanda ya yi mata raunin tara bisa ga yadda mijinta ya yanka za a biya, in dai abin da ya yanka ya yi daidai da abin da alƙalai suka tsara.
If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
23 Amma in akwai rauni mai tsanani, sai a ɗauki rai a maimakon rai,
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
24 ido don ido, haƙori don haƙori, hannu don hannu, ƙafa don ƙafa,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 ƙuna don ƙuna, rauni don rauni, ƙujewa don ƙujewa.
burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
26 “In mutum ya bugi bawa ko baiwa a ido, har idon ya lalace, dole yă’yantar da shi ko ita, maimakon ido.
If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.
27 In kuma ya fangare haƙorin bawa ko baiwa, dole yă’yantar da bawan ko baiwar, a maimakon haƙorin.
And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
28 “In bijimi ya kashe namiji ko ta mace, dole a jajjefe bijimin har yă mutu, ba za a kuma ci namansa ba. Amma mai bijimin ba shi da laifi.
If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.
29 In, har an san bijimin da wannan hali, an kuma yi wa mai shi gargaɗi, amma bai ɗaura shi ba, har ya kashe namiji ko ta mace, za a jajjefe bijimin tare da mai shi, har su mutu.
But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.
30 Amma fa, in an bukace shi yă biya, zai biya don yă fanshi ransa ta wurin biyan abin da aka aza masa.
If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.
31 Wannan doka ta shafi batun bijimin da ya kashe ɗa ko’ya.
If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule.
32 In bijimin ya kashe bawa ko baiwa, mai shi zai biya shekel talatin na azurfa wa maigidan bawan, a kuma a jajjefe bijimin.
If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
33 “In mutum ya bar rami a buɗe, ko ya haƙa rami bai kuma rufe ba, sai saniya ko jaki ya fāɗi a ciki,
If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34 Mai ramin zai biya rashin da aka yi wa mai shi, matacciyar saniyan ko jakin, zai zama na mai ramin.
the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.
35 “In bijimin mutum ya raunana bijimin wani, har ya mutu, sai mutanen biyu su sayar da mai ran, su raba kuɗin daidai, haka ma su yi da mai ran.
If a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal.
36 Amma fa, in tun can, an san bijimin yana da wannan halin faɗa, duk da haka mai shi bai ɗaura shi ba, dole mai shi yă biya, dabba domin dabba, matacciyar dabbar kuwa tă zama nasa.
But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
