Exodo 21
1 “Ita, dagitoy dagiti bilin a rumbeng nga ipaulogmo para kadakuada:
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 'No gumatangkayo iti adipen a Hebreo, agserbi isuna iti innem a tawen, ken iti maikapito a tawen ket mawayawayaanto isuna nga awan iti uray ania a bayadanna.
When/If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for [only] six years. In the seventh year you must free him [from being your slave], and he is not required to pay you anything [for setting him free].
3 No immay nga is-isuna, rumbeng isuna a mawaya-wayaan nga is-isuna; no naasawaan isuna, ket masapul a mawayawayaan isuna a kaduana ti asawana.
If he was not married before he became your slave, and if he marries [someone while he is your slave], his wife is not to be set free [with him]. But if he was married before he became your slave, you must free both him and his wife.
4 No inikkan isuna ti amongna iti asawa a babai ket naganak ti asawana iti annak a lallaki ken annak a babbai, kukuanto ti amongna ti asawa ken annakna, ket rumbeng isuna a mawaya-wayaan nga is-isuna.
If a slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters [while her husband is a slave], only the man is to be freed. His wife and children will continue to be slaves of their master.
5 Ngem no silalawag a kunaen ti adipen nga, “Ay-ayatek ti amongko, ti asawak ken dagiti annakko; saanak a pumanaw a siwaya-waya,”
But when it is time for the slave to be set free, if the slave says, ‘I love my master and my wife and my children, and I do not want to be set free,’
6 ket masapul nga ipan isuna ti amongna iti Dios. Masapul nga ipan isuna ti amongna iti ruangan wenno iti poste ti ridaw, ken masapul nga abutan ti amongna ti lapayagna babaen iti kulukul. Ket pagserbianto ti adipen isuna iti amin a panagbiagna.
then his master must take him to [the place where they worship] God (OR, to [the owner’s] house). There he must make the slave stand against the door or the doorpost. Then the master will use an (awl/pointed metal rod) to make a hole in the slave’s ear. Then [he will fasten a tag to the slave’s ear to indicate that] (he will own that slave for the rest of his life/he will own the slave as long as the slave lives).
7 No ilako ti maysa a tao ti anakna a babai a kas adipen, masapul a saan isuna a pumanaa a nawayawayaan a kas iti ar-aramiden dagiti adipen a lallaki.
If a man sells his daughter to become a slave, she should not be set free [after six years], as the male slaves are.
8 No saanna a maay-ayo ti amongna, a nangisaad kenkuana para iti bagina, rumbeng ngarud a palubosanna isuna a masaka. Awan karbenganna a mangilako kenkuana kadagiti gangganaet a tattao. Awan karbenganna, agsipud ta inallilawna ti babai.
If the man who bought her wanted her to be his wife, but if [later] he is not pleased with her, he must sell her back to her father. He must not sell her to a foreigner, because that would be breaking the contract/agreement [he made with the girl’s father].
9 No isaad isuna ti amongna a kas asawa ti anakna a lalaki, masapul a tratoenna isuna a kasla anakna isuna a babai.
If the man who buys her wants her to be a wife for his son, he must then treat her as though she were his own daughter.
10 No mangala isuna iti sabali nga asawaenna, masapul a saanna a kissayan ti taraonna, badbadu, wenno dagiti kalintegan ti babai a kas asawa.
If the master takes another slave girl to be another wife for himself, he must continue to give the first slave wife the same amount of food and clothing that he gave to her before, and he must continue to have sex [EUP] with her as before.
11 Ngem no saanna nga ipaay dagitoy a tallo a banbanag kenkuana, mabalinna ngarud a mawayawayaan nga awan ti bayadanna nga aniaman a kuarta.
If he does not do all these three things for her, he must free her [from being a slave], and she is not required to pay anything [for being set free].
12 Siasinoman a mangdangran iti maysa a tao nga isu ti pakatayanna, awan duadua a masapul a mapapatay dayta a tao.
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 No saan a pinanggep ti tao ti inaramidna, no di ket nairana laeng, ket mangitudingak iti lugar a mabalinna a papanan.
But if the one who struck the other did not intend to kill that person, the one who struck him can escape to a place that I will choose for you, [and he will be safe there].
14 No pagayatan ti maysa a tao ti mangraut iti kaarrubana tapno patayenna isuna a siaallilaw, ket masapul nga alaenyo isuna, uray no adda isuna iti altar ti Dios, tapno matay isuna.
But if someone gets angry with another person and kills him, even if the murderer runs to the altar, [a place that God designated as a place to be safe], you must execute him.
15 Siasinoman a mangdangran iti ama wenno inana ket awan dua-dua a masapul a mapapatay.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 Siasinoman a mangala iti maysa a tao sana ilako, wenno masarakan ti tao iti poderna, dayta a nangtakaw iti tao ket masapul a mapapatay.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 Siasinoman a mangilunod iti ama wenno inana ket awan duadua a masapul a mapapatay.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 No agapa dagiti lallaki ket dinangran ti maysa ti sabali babaen iti bato wenno gemgemna, ken saan a natay dayta a tao, ngem naidalit iti pagiddaanna;
Suppose two people fight, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist. And suppose the person he strikes does not die but is injured and has to stay in bed [for a while],
19 ket no umimbag isuna ken makapagnan babaen iti panagusarna ti sarukodna, masapul a bayadan ti tao a nangdangran kenkuana ti nasayang a panawenna; masapul pay nga agbayad isuna para iti naan-anay a pannakaimbagna. Ngem dayta a tao ket saan a nakabasol iti panangpapatay.
and later he is able to walk outside using a cane. Then the person who struck him does not have to be punished. However, he must pay the injured person the money he could not earn [while he was recovering], and he must also pay the injured person’s medical expenses until that person is well.
20 No dinangran ti maysa a tao ti adipenna a lalaki wenno adipenna a babai babaen iti sarukod, ket no matay ti adipen a kas ti banag ti pannakadangranna, dayta a tao ket awan duadua a masapul a madusa.
If someone strikes his male or female slave with a stick, if the slave dies (immediately/as a result) [IDM], the one who struck him must be punished.
21 Nu pay kasta, no agbiag ti adipen iti maysa wenno dua nga aldaw, saan a rumbeng a madusa ti amo, ta masagabana ti pannakapukaw ti adipen.
But if the slave lives for a day or two after he is struck [and then dies], you must not punish the one who struck him. Not having that slave to be able to work for him any longer is enough punishment.
22 No agaapa dagiti lalaki ket madangranda ti maysa a masikug a pakaigapuan a maalisan isuna, ngem awanen ti sabali a dunorna, ket awan duadua a rumbeng nga agmulta ti nakabasol a lalaki, no dawaten ti asawa ti babai dayta kenkuana, ken masapul nga agbayad isuna kas maiyannurot iti ikeddeng dagiti ukom.
Suppose two people are fighting and they hurt a pregnant woman with the result that (she has a miscarriage/her baby is born prematurely and dies). If the woman is not harmed in any other way, the one who injured her must pay a fine. He must pay whatever the woman’s husband demands, after a judge approves of the fine.
23 Ngem no adda ti nakaro a dunor, ket masapul nga itedmo ti biag para iti biag, mata para iti mata, ngipen para iti ngipen,
But if the woman is injured in some additional way, the one who injured her must be caused to suffer in exactly the same way [that he caused her to suffer]. If she dies, he must be executed.
24 ima para iti ima, saka para iti saka,
If her eye is injured or destroyed, or if he knocks out one of her teeth, or her hand or foot is injured, or if she is burned or bruised, the one who injured her must be injured in the same way.
25 puor para iti puor, sugat para iti sugat, wenno dunor para iti dunor.
26 No kabilen ti tao ti mata ti adipenna a lalaki wenno ti adipenna a babai ket nabulsek daytoy, ket rebbengna a waya-wayaan ti adipen kas bayad ti matana.
If the owner of a slave strikes the eye of his male or female slave and ruins it, he must free that slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s eye.
27 No natuppolanna ti ngipen ti adipenna a lalaki wenno adipenna a babai, ket rebbengna a waya-wayaan ti adipenna a kas bayad ti ngipenna.
If someone knocks out one of his slave’s teeth, he must free the slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s tooth.
28 No sangdoen ti maysa a baka ti maysa a lalaki wenno ti maysa a babai ket matay, awan duadua a rumbeng a maubor ti baka, ken saan a rumbeng a kanen ti lasagna; ngem saan a mapabasol ti akinbaka.
If a bull gores a man or woman with the result that the person dies, you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must not punish the owner of the bull.
29 Ngem no siguden nga adda aramid ti baka a panagdangran, ken naballaagan ti akinkukua ngem di na inaywanan daytoy, ket nangpatay ti baka iti lalaki wenno babai, masapul a maubor dayta a baka, ken rumbeng met a mapapatay ti akinkukua.
But suppose the bull had attacked people several times before, and its owner had been warned, but he did not keep the bull inside a fence. Then you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must also execute its owner.
30 No kasapulan ti bayad para iti biagna, rumbeng nga agbayad isuna ti aniaman a masapul a bayadanna.
However, if the owner of the bull is allowed to pay a fine (to save his own life/in order not to be executed), he must pay the full amount that the judges say that he must pay.
31 No sinangdo ti baka ti anak a lalaki wenno ti anak a babai ti maysa a tao, rumbeng nga aramiden ti akinbaka ti ibagbaga ti linteg nga aramidenna.
If someone’s bull attacks and gores another person’s son or daughter, you must treat the bull’s owner according to that same rule.
32 No sangdoen ti baka ti adipen a lalaki wenno adipen a babai, rumbeng nga agbayad ti akinbaka ti tallo pulo a siklo ti pirak, ken rumbeng a maubor ti baka.
If a bull attacks and gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay to the slave’s owner 30 pieces of silver. Then you must [kill the bull by] throwing stones at it.
33 No lukatan ti maysa a tao ti abot, wenno agkali ti maysa a tao iti abot ken saanna a kinaluban daytoy, ket adda natnag a baka wenno asno iti daytoy,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 rumbeng a bayadan ti akinkukua iti abot ti napukaw. Rumbeng a mangted isuna iti kuarta iti akinkukua iti natay nga ayup, ket baginanto ti natay nga ayup.
Then the owner of the pit/cistern must pay for the animal that died. He must give the money to the animal’s owner, but then he can take away the animal that died and [do whatever he wants to with it].
35 No madangran ti baka ti maysa a tao ti baka ti sabali a tao a pakaigapuan ti pannakatay ti baka, ket masapul nga ilakoda ti nabiag a baka ket paggudduaanda ti bayadna, ken masapul a paggudduaanda pay ti natay a baka.
If someone’s bull hurts another person’s bull with the result that it dies, the owners of both bulls must sell the bull that is living, and they must divide [between them] the money [that they receive] for it. They must also divide [between them the meat of] the animal that died.
36 Ngem no nalataken nga ugali ti baka ti mangsangdo iti napalabas a panawen, ken saan nga impupok ti akinkukua daytoy, rumbeng a bayadanna ti baka iti baka, ken kukuananto ti natay nga ayup.
However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died [and do with it whatever he wants to do].”
