Exodus 21
1 “Sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel:
And these [are] the judgments which you set before them:
2 Kom fin moli sie mukul Hebrew in sie mwet kohs lom, el ac orekma nu sum ke yac onkosr. Ke yac se akitkosr, kom fah aksukosokyalla ac el tia enenu in moli kutena ma nu sum.
When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman for nothing;
3 El fin tia mwet payuk se ke el mutawauk in kulansap nu sum, el fah tia eis mutan kial welul ke pacl se el ac som. Tusruktu el fin payuk tari ke pacl se el mutawauk in kulansupwekom, el ku in us mutan kial welul.
if he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone out with him;
4 Mwet kacto lal fin sang sie mutan kial ac mutan sac el oswela wen ku acn, na mutan sac ac tulik natul eltal ma na lun mwet kacto lal, na mukul sac fah mukena som.
if his lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes out by himself.
5 Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin akkalemye lah el lungse mwet kacto lal ac mutan kial ac tulik natul, ac el tia lungse in sukosokla
And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out free,
6 na mwet kacto lal uh fah usal som nu ke nien alu nu sin God. El ac fah oru tuh mwet kohs sac in tu ke srungul uh ku ke sukan srungul uh, ac putala sie pat ah ke insracl. Na mukul sac fah mwet kohs lal ke lusenna moul lal.
then his lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time.
7 Sie mukul fin kukakin acn natul tuh elan sie mutan kohs, mutan sac fah tia ku in aksukosokyeyuk oana mukul kohs uh.
And when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;
8 El fin kukakinyukla nu sin sie mukul su nunku mu el ac payuk sel, a tok el tia insewowo sel, na mukul sac el fah sifilpa kukakunulang nu sin papa tumal. El tia ku in kukakunulla nu sin mwetsac, mweyen mwet kacto sac el tuh tia akfalye wulela lal.
if [it is] evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he has not betrothed her, then he has let her be ransomed; he has no power to sell her to a strange people, in his dealing treacherously with her.
9 Sie mukul fin moli sie mutan kohs in sang nu sin wen natul, el enenu in oru nu sel oana sie acn natul.
And if he betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right of daughters.
10 Mukul se fin eis sie mutan tuh in mutan akluo kial, el tia enenu in aksrikyela ma el sang nu sin mutan se meet kial ke mwe mongo, nuknuk, ac suwohs lun payuk lal.
If he takes another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;
11 Mukul sac el fin tia akfalye ma tolu inge nu sin mutan se meet ah, el enenu in fuhlella elan sukosokla, ac tia eis kutena mwe moul.
and if he does not do these three for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.
12 “Kutena mwet su puokya sie mwet ac unilya, el ac fah anwuki.
He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly put to death;
13 Tusruktu fin ma ongla ouiya se, ac tia ma el oru in unilya se, el ku in kaingla nu yen se su nga fah fahkak nu sum, ac el fah ku in muta in misla we.
as for him who has not laid wait, but God has brought [him] to his hand, I have even set a place for you to where he flees.
14 Tusruktu mwet se fin foloyak ac uniya sie pac mwet ke el oru na in oaya, na in anwuki el, el finne kaing nwe ke loang luk in molella.
And when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.
15 “Kutena mwet su puokya papa tumal ku nina kial fah anwuki.
And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
16 “Kutena mwet su pisrala sie mwet, finne in kukakunulla ku in sruokilya tuh elan mwet kohs se lal, el ac fah anwuki.
And he who steals a man, and has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
17 “Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial, el ac fah anwuki.
And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
18 “Fin oasr sie alein ac sie mwet ah srukak eot se tukya mwet se ngia ku fiskilya, ac mwet sac tiana misa a el oanna maskin,
And when men contend, and a man has struck his neighbor with a stone, or with the fist, and he does not die, but has fallen on the bed;
19 na ac wangin mwatan mwet se ma oru ah. Tok ke mwet mas sac tukakek ac fahsr likinuma ke sikal lal, na mwet se ma puokilya ah enenu in moli ke pacl el sisla in mas lal, ac liyalang nwe ke el kwela.
if he rises, and has gone up and down outside on his staff, then the striker has been acquitted; he only gives [for] his cessation, and he is thoroughly healed.
20 “Sie mwet kacto fin srukak sak soko ac uni mwet kohs lal, mukul ku mutan, ac mwet kohs sac misa na in sac, enenu na in oasr kai nu sin mwet kacto sac.
And when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;
21 Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin tia misa ke len se ku luo, mwet kacto sac tia enenu in kaiyuk, mweyen mwet kohs sac el oaoa in sie kufwen mwe orekma lun mwet kacto sac.
only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
22 “Fin oasr mwet anwuk twe sun sie mutan pitutu, oru tulik natul putatla tusruk wangin pac acn musalla ke mutan sac, mwet se ma pwanang ma sikyak nu sel fah moli lupa se na ma mukul tumal el pakiya, fin akkeyeyukla sin mwet nununku.
And when men strive, and have struck a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no harm [to them], he is certainly fined as the husband of the woman lays on him, and he has given through the judges;
23 Tuh mutan sac fin oasr pac acn musalla kacl, kaiyuk nu kac uh pa moul molin moul,
and if there is harm [to them], then you have given life for life,
24 atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, po molin po, nia molin nia,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 folla molin folla, kinet molin kinet, futun molin futun.
burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 “Sie mwet kacto fin fiskiya atronmutun mukul ku mutan kohs lal ac pusisla, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokyela mwet kohs sac in sang moli atronmutal.
And when a man strikes the eye of his manservant, or the eye of his handmaid, and has destroyed it, he sends him away as a freeman for his eye;
27 Sie mwet kacto fin fuskela soko wihsen mwet kol lal, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokye mwet kohs sac in sang moli wihs soko ah.
and if he knocks out a tooth of his manservant or a tooth of his handmaid, he sends him away as a freeman for his tooth.
28 “Soko cow mukul fin fakisya sie mwet in misa, cow soko enenu in tatngal nwe ke misa, ac ikwal ac tia mongo, ac mwet se natu ah fah tia kaiyuk.
And when an ox gores man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
29 Tusruk cow mukul soko ah fin pahlana in fakfuk mwet, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet se natu ah a el tiana kalilya in kalkal — na cow soko ah fin fakisya mwet se in misa, el ac fah tungalyuk nwe ke el misa, ac mwet se natu fah anwuki pac.
and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and it has been testified to its owner, and he does not watch it, and it has put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner is also put to death.
30 Tusruktu, fin wotyang nu sin mwet se natu ah sie lupan mani elan moli in molela moul lal, na el enenu in molela nufonna lupa sac.
If atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on him;
31 Cow mukul soko uh fin uniya tulik mukul se ku tulik mutan se, ma sap sacna pa ac orekmakinyuk nu kac.
whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
32 Cow mukul soko ah fin uniya sie mwet kohs, mukul ku mutan, mwet se natu cow soko ah fah moli nu sin mwet se la mwet kohs sac ke ipin silver tolngoul, ac cow soko ah fah tatngal nwe ke misa.
If the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is stoned.
33 “Mwet se fin eisla afyuf ke sie luf, ku el fin pikin sie luf ac tia afinya, ac soko cow mukul ku soko donkey putatyang nu loac,
And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—
34 el enenu in moli kosro soko ah. El ac fah moli nu sin mwet se natu, ac kosro misa soko ah fah ma lal.
the owner of the pit repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.
35 Fin cow mukul soko nutin mwet se uniya cow mukul soko nutin siena mwet, mukul luo ac fah kukakunla cow soko ma moul ah, ac kitalik mani sac. Eltal fah kitalik pac ikwen cow mukul misa soko ah.
And when a man’s ox strikes the ox of his neighbor and it has died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and they also halve the dead one;
36 Tusruktu fin eteyuk lah cow mukul soko inge lungsena anwuk, ac mwet se natu ah tiana kalsalak, el enenu in sang soko cow mukul ma moul in akfalye nu sin mwet se natu cow soko ma misa ah.
or, [if] it has been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and its owner does not watch it, he certainly repays ox for ox, and the dead is his.
