Eksodosy 21
1 Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 Ie dogalahy te mizilik’ ao le i hadogà’ey ty hiakara’e; ie manam-baly te mizilike le amam-bali’e ka te hiavotse.
If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 Ie tolora’ ty talè’e valy vaho mahatoly ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela ama’e le ho a i talè’ey i vali’ey naho o ana’eo, le doga re te hiakatse ao.
If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
5 Fe naho mitsey ty hoe i mpitoro’ey, Kokoako ty talèko naho ty valiko vaho o anakoo; tsy te hiakatse ampidadàn-draho,
But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 le hasese’ i talè’ey añatrefan’ Añahare. Hendeseñe mb’an-tsarirañe mb’eo ndra am-pikalan-dalañe eo le ho trofahe’ ty talè’e fañity ty ravembia’e vaho ho toroñe’e kitro añ’afe’e.
then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
7 Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 Naho heje’ ty talè’e, ie jinobo’e ho am-bata’e, le azo jebañeñe; fe tsy hanan-jo handetak’ aze ami’ty ambahiny naho heje’e, ie nifañahia’e.
If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.
12 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
13 Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 Naho mifañotake t’indaty vaho dasire’ ty raike am-bato ty raike ndra lihiñe’e an-toto-fetreke, f’ie tsy mivetrake, fa mikopake an-tihy,
And if men contend, and one smiteth the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed:
19 aa naho mitroatse indatiy naho midraidraitse alafe’e ao am-pitoñoñe, le avotsotse i nandafay, fe havaha’e i fitoboha’ey vaho tsi-mete tsy hatrafe’e ampara’ t’ie jangañe.
if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall surely be punished.
21 Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22 Naho mijoy ty ampela mivesatse t’indaty mifandrapake vaho mahaboloañe ty ana’e tsy añom-bolañe, fe tsy orihem-boy, le toe ho liloveñe re ami’ty hampanoa’ ty vali’ i rakembay vaho hampañondrohe’ o mpizakao.
And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,
But if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 Aa naho trofahe’ ty talè’e ty maso’ ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela vaho mijoy aze, le havotso’ i talè’ey hidada i ondevoy, ho solo’ i masoy.
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroy it; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 Naho apiro’ ty talè ty nife’ ondevo’e ke lahilahy he ampela, le havotsotse i ondevoy; hasolo i nifey ty fihahà’e.
And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 Naho mitomboke ondaty ty añombe naho mampihomak’ aze le tsi-mete tsy ho retsahem-bato i añombey vaho tsy ho kamaeñe ty nofo’e; fa votsotse ty tompo’ i añombey.
And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
29 Aa naho nilili’ i añombey omale ndra fak’omale ty mandronjeronje amo tsifa’eo ie nampandrendreheñe i tompo’ey, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse vaho mañe-doza amy t’indaty ndra rakemba i añombey, le ho fetsahem-bato i añombey vaho havetrake i tompo’ey.
But if the ox were wont to gore in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e i ampañavahañ’azey iaby.
If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
32 Naho mitomboke ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela ka i añombey le ampañavaheñe volafoty sekele 30 i tompo’ey vaho retsahem-bato i añombey.
If the ox gore a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 Naho sokafe’ t’indaty ty koboñe, he mihaly kadaha fa tsy kapefa’e vaho mikorovok’ ao ty añombe ndra birìke,
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein,
34 le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner of them, and the dead [beast] shall be his.
35 Naho joie’ ty añombe’ ondaty ty aze, le haleta’ iareo i veloñey naho ho zarae’ iereo roe i vili’ey vaho ifanjarañe i matey.
And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide.
36 Fe naho nifohiñe te lili’ i añombey ty mandronje, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse, le havaha’ i tompo’ey añombe i añombey vaho aze i matey.
Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead [beast] shall be his own.
