Eksodosy 21

1 Ary izao no lalàna izay hataonao eo anatrehany:

Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:

2 Raha mividy andevo Hebreo ianao, dia enin-taona no hanompoany, ary amin’ ny taona fahafito dia hiala ho afaka fotsiny izy.

If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.

3 Raha izy irery ihany no miditra, dia izy irery hany no hiala; fa raha manam-bady izy, dia hiala hiaraka aminy koa ny vadiny.

If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 Raha manome vady azy ny tompony, ka miteraka zazalahy na zazavavy aminy izy, dia ho an’ ny tompony ihany ny vadiny sy ny zanany, fa izy irery ihany no hiala.

If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.

5 Fa raha milaza marimarina ilay andevo ka manao hoe: Tsy foiko ny tompoko sy ny vadiko ary ny zanako, ka tsy te-ho afaka aho,

But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,

6 dia ho entin’ ny tompony ho eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy, ary dia ho entiny ho eo amin’ ny varavarana, na ho eo amin’ ny tolam-baravarana, ka hotevehin’ ny tompony amin’ ny haolo ny sofiny; dia hanompo azy mandrakizay izy.

Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.

7 Ary raha misy mivaro-janakavavy ho vaditsindranon’ olona, dia tsy mba ho tahaka ny fialan’ ny andevolahy ho afaka no fialany.

Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.

8 Fa raha tsy ankasitrahan’ ny tompony, izay nikasa hanambady azy, ravehivavy, dia havelany havotana ihany izy; tsy hahazo mivarotra azy ho any amin’ ny firenena hafa izy, satria efa namitaka azy.

If shee please not her master, who hath betrothed her to him selfe, then shall hee cause to buy her: hee shall haue no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.

9 Ary raha mamofo azy ho vadin’ ny zananilahy izy, dia araka ny fitondra zanakavavy no hataony aminy.

But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.

10 Ary raha maka vehivavy hafa ho vadiny izy, dia tsy hahenany ny fihinany sy ny fitafiany ary ny fombam-panambadiany.

If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.

11 Ary raha tsy hataony aminy izany zavatra telo loha izany, dia hiala ho afaka fotsiny ravehivavy, fa tsy handoa vola.

And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.

12 Izay mamely olona ka mahafaty azy dia hatao maty tokoa;

He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall dye the death.

13 fa izay tsy manotrika, fa Andriamanitra no manolotra azy eo an-tànany, dia hanendry ho anareo fitoerana izay handosirany Aho.

And if a man hath not layed wayte, but God hath offered him into his hande, then I wil appoynt thee a place whither he shall flee.

14 Ary raha misy olona avy sahisahy amin’ ny namany hamono azy amin’ ny fahafetsena, dia halainao izy, na dia eo amin’ ny alitarako aza, mba hovonoina ho faty.

But if a man come presumptuously vpon his neighbour to slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15 Ary izay mamely ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa.

Also hee that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.

16 Ary izay mangalatra olona, na efa namidiny, na mbola hita eo an-tànany ihany ilay nangalariny, dia hatao maty tokoa.

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be founde with him, shall die the death.

17 Ary izay manozona ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa.

And hee that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.

18 Ary raha misy olona mifanditra, ka ny anankiray mamely ny namany amin’ ny vato, na amin’ ny totohondry, koa tsy maty izy, fa marary ambany tsihy,

When men also striue together, and one smite another with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but lieth in bed,

19 raha afa-mitsangana indray ka mandehandeha mitehina eny ala-trano izy, dia ho afa-tsiny ilay namely azy; kanefa handoa ny hevitr’ andro tsy nanaovany zavatra izy sady hitsabo azy mandra-pahasitrany.

If hee rise againe and walke without vpon his staffe, then shall he that smote him go quite, saue onely hee shall beare his charges for his resting, and shall pay for his healing.

20 Ary raha misy olona mikapoka ny andevolahiny na ny andevovaviny amin’ ny tsorakazo ka mahafaty azy eo am-pikapohana, dia hovaliana tokoa izy.

And if a man smite his seruant, or his maide with a rod, and he die vnder his hande, he shalbe surely punished.

21 Kanefa raha mbola velona maharitra indray andro na indroa andro izy, dia tsy hovaliana ilay tompony; fa hareny ihany izy.

But if he continue a day, or two dayes, hee shall not be punished: for he is his money.

22 Ary raha misy olona mifanditra ka mandratra vehivavy manan’ anaka, ka teraka tsy tonga volana ny zanany, kanefa tsy misy maninona, dia hosazina tokoa ilay olona araka izay hanaovan’ ny vadin-dravehivavy azy; ary handoa araka izay handidian’ ny mpitsara izy.

Also if men striue and hurt a woman with childe, so that her childe depart from her, and death follow not, hee shall bee surely punished according as the womans husband shall appoynt him, or he shall pay as the Iudges determine.

23 Fa raha misy maninona kosa, dia hanome aina solon’ ny aina ianao,

But if death follow, then thou shalt paye life for life,

24 maso solon’ ny maso, nify solon’ ny nify, tanana solon’ ny tanana, tongotra solon’ ny tongotra,

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hande for hand, foote for foote,

25 may solon’ ny may, ratra solon’ ny ratra, mivatra solon’ ny mivatra.

Burning for burning, wound for wounde, stripe for stripe.

26 Ary raha misy olona mamely ny mason’ ny andevolahiny na ny mason’ ny andevovaviny ka mahasimba azy, dia halefany ho afaka izy noho ny masony.

And if a man smite his seruant in the eie, or his maide in the eye, and hath perished it, hee shall let him goe free for his eye.

27 Ary raha ny nifin’ ny andevolahy na ny andevovavy no afany, dia halefany ho afaka koa izy noho ny nifiny.

Also if he smite out his seruants tooth, or his maides tooth, he shall let him goe out free for his tooth.

28 Ary raha misy omby manoto lehilahy na vehivavy ka mahafaty azy, dia hotoraham-bato tokoa ny omby, ary tsy hohanina ny henany; ary ny tompon’ ilay omby dia ho afa-tsiny.

If an oxe gore a man or a woman, that he die, the oxe shalbe stoned to death, and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the oxe shall goe quite.

29 Fa raha omby efa zatra nanoto hatramin’ ny teo aloha iny, sady efa nambara tamin’ ny tompony izany, nefa izy no tsy niaro azy, koa nahafaty lehilahy na vehivavy ny omby, dia hotoraham-bato ny omby, ary ny tompony koa hovonoina.

If the oxe were wont to push in times past, and it hath bene tolde his master, and hee hath not kept him, and after he killeth a man or a woman, the oxe shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.

30 Raha sazina izy, dia handoa vidin’ aina araka izay sazy atao aminy.

If there be set to him a summe of mony, then he shall pay the raunsome of his life, whatsoeuer shalbe laied vpon him.

31 Raha manoto zazalahy na zazavavy ny omby, dia araka izany lalàna izany koa no hanaovana azy.

Whether he hath gored a sonne or gored a daughter, he shalbe iudged after the same maner.

32 Raha manoto andevolahy na andevovavy izy, dia homena sekely volafotsy telo-polo ny tompon’ andevo, ary ny omby hotoraham-bato.

If the oxe gore a seruant or a mayde, hee shall giue vnto their master thirtie shekels of siluer, and the oxe shalbe stoned.

33 Ary raha misy olona manokatra lavaka, na raha misy olona mihady lavaka, ka tsy rakofany, ary misy omby na boriky latsaka ao,

And when a man shall open a well, or when he shall dig a pit and couer it not, and an oxe or an asse fall therein,

34 dia hanonitra azy ny tompon-davaka, ka vola no haloany ho an’ ny tompony; ary ny maty dia ho azy.

The owner of the pit shall make it good, and giue money to the owners thereof, but the dead beast shalbe his.

35 Ary raha misy ombin’ olona mandratra ny ombin’ ny namany ka mahafaty azy, dia hamidiny ny omby velona, ka hozarainy ny vola vidiny; ary ny maty koa hozarainy.

And if a mans oxe hurt his neighbours oxe that he die, then they shall sel the liue oxe, and deuide the money thereof, and the dead oxe also they shall deuide.

36 Kanefa raha fantatra fa omby zatra nanoto hatramin’ ny teo aloha iny, koa tsy niaro azy ny tompony, dia hanonitra omby ho solon’ ny omby tokoa izy; ary ny maty dia ho azy.

Or if it bee knowen that the oxe hath vsed to push in times past, and his master hath not kept him, he shall pay oxe for oxe, but the dead shall be his owne.
