Exodus 21
1 “Sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel:
"Now these are the ordinances which you shall 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.
"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
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 shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go 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 master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go 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
But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will 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 master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
7 Sie mukul fin kukakin acn natul tuh elan sie mutan kohs, mutan sac fah tia ku in aksukosokyeyuk oana mukul kohs uh.
"If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
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 she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, seeing he has dealt deceitfully 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.
If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner 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 wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
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.
If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 “Kutena mwet su puokya sie mwet ac unilya, el ac fah anwuki.
"One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be 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.
but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
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.
If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 “Kutena mwet su puokya papa tumal ku nina kial fah anwuki.
"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely 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.
"Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.
17 “Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial, el ac fah anwuki.
"Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be 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,
"If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to 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 again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until 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.
"If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
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.
Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
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.
"If men fight and strike a pregnant woman so that her child is born prematurely, but there is no injury, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.
23 Tuh mutan sac fin oasr pac acn musalla kacl, kaiyuk nu kac uh pa moul molin moul,
But if there is injury, then you must take 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, and bruise for bruise.
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.
"If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
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.
If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
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.
"If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
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.
But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be 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 a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever 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 has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be 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 bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be 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,
"If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
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 shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be 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.
"If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
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 is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
