Otra Mozus 21
1 Šīs nu ir tās tiesas, ko tev viņiem būs likt priekšā.
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 Ja tu pirksi Ebreju kalpu, tad tam būs sešus gadus kalpot, bet septītā tam par velti būs iziet svabadam.
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 Ja tas viens pats ir nācis, tad tam būs vienam pašam iziet, ja viņš bijis laulāts vīrs, tad viņa sievai būs iziet līdz ar viņu.
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 Ja viņa kungs viņam sievu devis, un tā viņam dzemdējusi dēlus vai meitas, tad tai sievai un viņas bērniem būs palikt kungam, un viņam būs iziet vienam pašam.
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 Bet ja tas kalps pats sacīs: es mīlēju savu kungu, savu sievu un savus bērnus, es negribu svabads iziet,
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 Tad lai viņa kungs to ved Dieva priekšā, un tad lai to ved pie durvīm vai pie stenderes, un lai viņa kungs tam ausi izdur ar īlenu, un lai tas viņam kalpo mūžam.
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 Un kad kas savu meitu pārdevis par kalponi, tad tai nebūs iziet, kā tie kalpi iziet.
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 Ja viņa savam kungam nepatīk, ka viņš to neņem par sievu, tad viņam būs ļaut, lai to izpērk; viņš viltīgi ar to darīdams to nevar pārdot svešai tautai.
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 Bet ja viņš to savam dēlam dod par sievu, tad lai viņai ir meitas tiesa.
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 Ja viņš tam citu ved, tad lai viņai nekā neatrauj no viņas barības, no viņas apsega un piedzīvošanas.
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 Un ja viņš šās trīs lietas nedarīs, tad viņai būs velti(brīvai) iziet bez naudas.
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 Kas cilvēku sit, ka tas mirst, tam būs tapt nokautam.
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 Bet kad viņš ar viltu uz to nav glūnējis, bet Dievs ļāvis caur viņa roku tā notikt, tad es tev nosacīšu kādu vietu, kurp tam būs bēgt.
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 Bet ja kas blēdīgi darījis pret savu tuvāko, viņu viltīgi nokaudams, tad arī no mana altāra tev to būs ņemt, ka tas tiek nokauts.
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 Ja kas savu tēvu vai savu māti sit, tam būs tapt nokautam.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 Ja kas cilvēku zog un viņu pārdod, un tas pie viņa top atrasts, tam būs tapt nokautam.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 Arī kas savu tēvu vai savu māti lād, tam būs tapt nokautam.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 Un ja vīri baras, un viens otru sit ar akmeni vai ar dūri, ka tas nemirst, bet tam uz gultas jāguļ;
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 Ja tas atkal uzceļas un iet ārā ar savu spieķi, tad tam, kas viņu sita, būs būt nenoziedzīgam; viņam tikai būs maksāt, ko tas ir aizkavējis un būs to it labi likt dziedināt.
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 Un ja kas savu kalpu vai kalponi ar koku sit, ka tas apakš viņa rokas mirst, pie tā to it tiešām būs atriebt.
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 Bet ja viņš vienu vai divas dienas paliek pie dzīvības, tad to nebūs atriebt, jo tas ir ar viņa naudu pirkts.
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 Un kad vīri baras un sit grūtu sievu, ka viņas auglis noiet, bet tomēr viņai pašai nekāda vaina nenotiek, tad to ar naudu būs sodīt, cik tās sievas vīrs viņam noprasa un tam to būs dot pēc soģu sprieduma.
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 Bet ja tai kāda nelaime būs, tad tam būs dot dvēseli pret dvēseli,
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 Aci pret aci, zobu pret zobu, roku pret roku,
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 Kāju pret kāju, degunu pret degunu, vāti pret vāti, trumu(rētu) pret trumu.
26 Un ja kas savu kalpu vai savu kalponi acī sit un to samaitā, tam būs viņu svabadu atlaist tās acs labad.
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 Un ja viņš sava kalpa vai savas kalpones zobu izsit, tad tam viņu būs atlaist tā zoba labad.
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 Un ja kāds vērsis vai vīru vai sievu sabada, ka mirst, tad to vērsi akmeņiem būs nomētāt un viņa gaļu nebūs ēst, bet tā vērša kungam būs būt nenoziedzīgam.
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 Bet ja tas vērsis jau papriekš bijis badīgs, un tas viņa kungam ir teikts, un viņš to nav sargājis, un tas nobada vai vīru vai sievu, tad tam vērsim akmeņiem būs tapt nomētātam un viņa kungam arīdzan būs tapt nokautam.
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 Ja viņam top nospriesta izpirkšana, tad tam par savas dvēseles izglābšanu būs dot visu, kas viņam top nospriests.
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 Ja tas (vērsis) dēlu vai meitu ir badījis, tad tam būs darīt pēc šīs tiesas.
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 Ja tas vērsis kalpu vai kalponi bada, tad lai viņa kungs dod trīsdesmit sudraba sēķeļus, un to vērsi akmeņiem lai nomētā.
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 Un ja kas aku attaisa, vai ja kas aku rok un neapsedz, un tur kāds vērsis vai ēzelis krīt iekšā,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 Tad lai tās akas kungs to maksā, lai atdod (tā lopa) kungam to naudu, bet to maitu lai patur.
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 Un ja kaut kāda vērsis bada sava tuvākā vērsi, ka tas mirst, tad to dzīvo vērsi būs pārdot un to naudu dalīt, un to maitu būs arī dalīt.
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 Bet ja tas bijis zināms, ka tas vērsis papriekš bijis badīgs, un viņa kungs to nav sargājis, tad lai vērsi pret vērsi atdod, bet to maitu lai patur.
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].”
