निर्गम 21
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 २ तुम्ही जर एखादा इब्री गुलाम विकत घेतला तर त्याने फक्त सहा वर्षे काम करावे; सातव्या वर्षी त्याच्याकडून काही भरपाई न घेता त्यास मुक्त होऊन जाऊ द्यावे.
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 ३ जर तो एकटाच आला असेल तर त्याने मुक्त होताना एकटेच निघून जावे; परंतु जर तो त्याची पत्नी घेऊन आला असेल तर त्याने त्याच्या पत्नीला घेऊन जावे.
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 ४ जर तो एकटा आला असेल तर त्याच्या मालकाने त्यास पत्नी करून द्यावी; तिला पुत्र किंवा कन्या झाल्या असतील तर ती व तिची मुले मालकाची राहतील; त्याने एकट्यानेच जावे.
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 ५ मी माझ्या मालकावर व माझ्या पत्नीमुलांवर प्रेम करतो, मी मुक्त होऊ इच्छित नाही, असे जर तो स्पष्टपणे सांगतो,
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 ६ तर त्याच्या मालकाने त्यास देवासमोर अथवा त्यास दाराच्या चौकटीजवळ उभे करावे व अरीने त्याचा कान टोचावा. मग तो त्याची आयुष्यभर चाकरी करील.
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).
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 ८ तिच्या मालकाने तिला आपली पत्नी करून घेण्याचे ठरवले असेल, पण पुढे तिच्यावरून त्याची मर्जी उडाली तर त्याने खंडणी घेऊन तिची मुक्तता करावी. तिला परक्या लोकांस विकण्याचा त्यास अधिकार नाही. तिच्याशी कपटाने वागल्यामुळे तिला विकण्याचा त्यास अधिकार नाही.
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 ९ आपल्या मुलासाठी पत्नी म्हणून तिला ठेवून घ्यायची तिच्या मालकाची इच्छा असेल, तर त्याने तिला आपल्या स्वतःच्या मुलीप्रमाणे वागवावे.
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 १० त्याने दुसऱ्या स्त्रीशी लग्न केले तरी त्याने पहिल्या पत्नीस अन्न वस्त्र कमी पडू देऊ नये, किंवा तिच्या वैवाहिक अधिकारांना बाधा येऊ देऊ नये.
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.
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].
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 १३ पूर्वसंकल्प न करता, पण आपघाताने जर एखाद्याच्या हातून कोणाचा मृत्यू झाला. तर त्यास पळून जात येईल असे ठिकाण मी नेमून देईल.
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 १४ परंतु जर कोणी एकाने जाणूनबुजून व ठरवून रागाने किंवा द्वेषाने दुसऱ्या मनुष्यास ठार मारले तर मात्र त्यास शिक्षा करावी; त्यास वेदीपासून खेचून आणून ठार मारावे.
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.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 १८ दोघेजण भांडत असताना एकाने दुसऱ्याला दगड किंवा ठोसा मारला आणि त्यामुळे तो मेला नाही, पण त्यास अंथरूणात पडून रहावे लागले,
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 १९ तर मारणाऱ्याने त्यास त्याच्या वाया गेलेल्या वेळेबद्दल नुकसान भरपाई द्यावी व तो मनुष्य बरा होईपर्यंत त्याच्यासाठी लागणारा खर्च द्यावा.
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 २० काही वेळा लोक आपल्या गुलामाला किंवा गुलाम स्त्रीला छडीने मारहाण करतात, त्यामुळे जर तो गुलाम किंवा ती गुलाम स्त्री मरण पावली तर त्यांना मारणाऱ्याला अवश्य शिक्षा करावी;
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.
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 २२ दोघे जर मारामारी करीत असतील व त्यांचा धक्का एखाद्या गरोदर स्त्रीला लागला आणि त्या स्त्रीचा गर्भपात झाला पण तिला इतर कोणतीही इजा झाली नाही, तर ज्याचा धक्का तिला लागला तिचा पती न्यायाधीशांच्या सल्ल्याने जो दंड ठरवील तो दंड त्याने द्यावा.
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.
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.
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.
26 २६ जर एखाद्याने आपल्या गुलामाच्या किंवा गुलाम स्त्रीच्या डोळ्यावर मारल्यामुळे त्याचा किंवा तिचा डोळा गेला तर त्याने त्यास मुक्त करावे.
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 २७ एखाद्या मालकाने आपल्या पुरुष दासाच्या किंवा स्त्री दासीच्या तोंडावर मारल्यामुळे त्याचा किंवा तिचा दात पडला तर त्याने त्यास दास्यमुक्त करून जाऊ द्यावे.
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 २८ एखाद्याच्या बैलाने एखाद्या पुरुषाला किंवा स्त्रीला हुंदडून जिवे मारले तर त्या बैलाला दगडमार करून जिवे मारावे, त्या बैलाचे मांस कोणी खाऊ नये, परंतु त्या बैलाच्या मालकाला सोडून द्यावे.
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 २९ परंतु त्या बैलाला हुंदडण्याची सवयच असली आणि त्याविषयी त्याच्या मालकाला सूचना केली असूनही त्याने त्या बैलाला बांधून ठेवले नाही आणि त्यानंतर कोणा पुरुषाला किंवा स्त्रीला त्याने जिवे मारले तर त्याबद्दल त्याचा मालक दोषी आहे, त्या बैलाला धोंडमार करून जिवे मारावे व त्याच्या मालकालाही जिवे मारावे.
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 ३० त्याच्याकडून खंडणी मागितल्यास त्याने आपला प्राण वाचविण्यासाठी आपल्यावर लादलेली खंडणी देऊन टाकावी.
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 ३१ बैलाने एखाद्याच्या पुत्राला किंवा कन्येला हुंदडून जिवे मारले तर त्याबाबतीत हाच नियम लागू करावा.
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 ३२ एखाद्या बैलाने जर कोणाच्या पुरुष दासास किंवा स्त्री दासीला हुंदडून ठार मारले तर त्या बैलाच्या मालकाने त्याच्या मालकाला चांदीची तीस शेकेल नाणी द्यावी आणि त्या बैलालाही दगडमार करावी;
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 ३३ एखाद्या मनुष्याने बुजलेला खड्डा उकरला किंवा त्याने खड्डा खणून त्यावर झाकण ठेवले नसेल आणि जर कोणाचा बैल, गाढव वगैरे त्या खड्डयात पडून मरण पावले तर खड्ड्याचा मालक दोषी आहे;
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 ३४ त्याने त्या जनावराच्या मालकाला भरपाई म्हणून त्याची किंमत द्यावी आणि ते मरण पावलेले जनावर खड्ड्याच्या मालकाचे होईल.
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 ३५ जर एखाद्याच्या बैलाने दुसऱ्याच्या बैलाला हुंदडून मारून टाकले तर जिवंत राहिलेला बैल विकून आलेले पैसे दोघा मालकांनी विभागून घ्यावेत आणि मरण पावलेला बैलही विभागून घ्यावा.
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 ३६ परंतु तो बैल पूर्वीपासून मारका आहे हे ठाऊक असून मालकाने त्यास बांधून ठेवले नाही, तर त्याने बैलाबद्दल बैल द्यावा व मरण पावलेला बैल त्याचा व्हावा.
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].”
