Keluaran 21

1 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Berilah kepada orang Israel peraturan-peraturan ini:

“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:

2 Kalau kamu membeli seorang budak bangsamu sendiri, ia harus bekerja untukmu selama enam tahun. Dalam tahun yang ketujuh ia harus dibebaskan dan tidak perlu membayar apa-apa.

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 Andaikata ia masih bujangan pada waktu menjadi budakmu, maka istrinya tak boleh ikut waktu ia keluar. Tetapi andaikata ia sudah kawin pada waktu menjadi budakmu, istrinya boleh ikut bersama dia.

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 Kalau tuannya mengawinkan dia dengan seorang perempuan, lalu ia mendapat anak, maka istri dan anaknya itu adalah milik tuannya, dan tak boleh ikut dengan budak itu pada waktu ia dibebaskan.

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 Tetapi andaikata budak itu menyatakan bahwa ia mencintai istrinya, anak-anaknya, dan tuannya, serta tidak mau dibebaskan,

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 maka tuannya harus membawa dia ke tempat ibadat. Di sana budak itu disuruh berdiri bersandar pada pintu atau tiang pintu tempat ibadat, dan tuannya harus menindik telinga budak itu. Maka ia akan menjadi budaknya untuk seumur hidup.

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 Kalau seorang perempuan Ibrani dijual sebagai budak oleh ayahnya, perempuan itu tidak dibebaskan sesudah enam tahun, jadi berbeda dengan budak laki-laki.

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 Kalau ia tidak menyenangkan tuannya yang berniat mengawininya, maka ia harus dijual kembali kepada orang tuanya. Perempuan itu tidak boleh dijual kepada orang asing, sebab ia sudah diperlakukan dengan tidak adil oleh tuannya yang tidak menepati janjinya.

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 Apabila seseorang membeli budak perempuan untuk dijadikan istri anaknya, budak perempuan itu harus diperlakukannya seperti anaknya sendiri.

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 Kalau anak laki-laki itu kawin lagi, ia tetap berkewajiban untuk memberi makanan dan pakaian serta semua hak seperti biasa kepada istrinya yang pertama.

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 Kalau ia tidak memenuhi kewajiban itu, ia harus membebaskan istrinya itu tanpa menerima uang tebusan."

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 "Siapa yang memukul orang lain sampai mati, harus dihukum mati.

You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.

13 Tetapi kalau ia memukul dengan tidak sengaja dan tidak bermaksud membunuh, ia dapat melarikan diri ke suatu tempat yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu, dan di sana ia mendapat perlindungan.

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 Tetapi kalau seseorang naik darah dan dengan sengaja membunuh orang lain, kemudian lari ke mezbah-Ku untuk mendapat perlindungan, orang itu harus diambil dari mezbah dan dihukum mati.

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 Siapa yang memukul ayah atau ibunya harus dihukum mati.

Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.

16 Siapa yang menculik seseorang, harus dihukum mati, entah orang itu sudah dijualnya atau masih ada di rumahnya.

Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.

17 Siapa yang mengutuk ayah atau ibunya, harus dihukum mati.

Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.

18 Kalau dalam suatu perkelahian seseorang memukul orang lain dengan batu atau dengan tinjunya, tetapi tidak membunuhnya, ia tidak akan dihukum. Kalau orang yang dipukul itu sampai harus berbaring akibat pukulan itu,

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 tetapi kemudian bisa bangun dan berjalan kembali dengan tongkat, orang yang memukulnya harus merawatnya sampai sembuh dan memberi ganti rugi selama ia sakit.

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 Siapa yang memukul budaknya laki-laki atau perempuan sehingga budak itu langsung mati, harus dihukum.

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 Tetapi kalau budak itu tidak mati dalam satu atau dua hari, tuan itu tidak dihukum. Kerugian yang dialaminya karena kehilangan budaknya itu merupakan hukuman baginya.

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 Kalau beberapa orang lelaki sedang berkelahi dan salah seorang di antara mereka mendatangkan cedera pada seorang perempuan hamil sehingga ia keguguran, tetapi tidak menderita pada bagian lain, maka orang itu harus membayar denda sebesar yang dituntut suaminya dan disetujui oleh hakim-hakim.

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 Tetapi kalau perempuan itu kena cedera yang lebih berat, maka hukuman untuk kejahatan itu adalah nyawa ganti nyawa,

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 mata ganti mata, gigi ganti gigi, tangan ganti tangan, kaki ganti kaki,

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 luka ganti luka, luka bakar ganti luka bakar, bengkak ganti bengkak.

26 Siapa yang memukul mata budaknya sampai buta, harus membebaskan budak itu sebagai tebusan untuk matanya.

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 Kalau seseorang memukul budaknya sampai patah giginya, budak itu harus dibebaskannya sebagai tebusan untuk giginya itu."

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 "Kalau seekor sapi jantan menanduk seseorang sampai mati, sapi itu harus dibunuh dengan dilempari batu, dan dagingnya tak boleh dimakan, tetapi pemiliknya tidak akan dihukum.

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 Kalau sapi jantan itu mempunyai kebiasaan menanduk, dan pemiliknya sudah diberi peringatan, tetapi tidak menjaga binatang itu, lalu apabila sapi jantan itu menanduk seseorang sampai mati, maka binatang itu harus dibunuh dengan dilempari batu dan pemiliknya juga harus dihukum mati.

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 Tetapi kalau pemilik sapi itu diizinkan membayar tebusan, ia harus membayar seberapa banyak yang dituntut untuk menebus nyawanya.

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 Kalau yang dibunuh itu seorang anak laki-laki atau perempuan, berlaku peraturan itu juga.

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 Kalau yang terbunuh itu seorang budak laki-laki atau perempuan, pemilik sapi itu harus membayar tiga puluh uang perak kepada pemilik budak itu, dan sapi jantan itu harus dilempari batu sampai mati.

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 Siapa yang mengambil tutup dari sebuah sumur atau menggali sumur dan tidak menutupinya, lalu seekor sapi jantan atau keledai jatuh ke dalamnya,

Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].

34 pemilik sumur itu harus membayar ganti rugi kepada pemilik ternak itu, tetapi ia boleh mengambil ternak yang sudah mati itu untuk dirinya.

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 Kalau sapi jantan seseorang membunuh sapi jantan orang lain, kedua pemiliknya harus menjual ternak yang masih hidup itu dan membagi uangnya. Mereka juga harus membagi daging ternak yang mati itu.

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 Tetapi kalau sudah diketahui bahwa sapi jantan itu mempunyai kebiasaan menanduk, dan pemiliknya tidak menjaganya, ia harus menggantinya dengan sapi jantan yang masih hidup, dan boleh mengambil ternak yang sudah mati itu untuk dirinya."

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].”
