प्रस्थान 21

1 “अब तैँले तिनीहरूका सामु राख्‍ने आदेशहरू यी नै हुन्:

And these [are] the ordinances which you shall set before them.

2 तिमीहरूले हिब्रू कमारा किन्यौ भने त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नुपर्छ, र सातौँ वर्षमा केही नतिरी त्यो मुक्त हुनेछ ।

If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you, and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.

3 त्यो एक्लै आएको हो भने त्यो एक्लै जाओस् । त्यो विवाहित हो भने त्यो आफ्नी पत्‍नीसँगै जाओस् ।

If he should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.

4 त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई पत्‍नी दिएका भए र त्यसले पतिको निम्ति छोराछोरीहरू जन्माएकी भए पत्‍नी र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू मालिकको हुनेछन्, तर पतिचाहिँ मुक्त हुनेछ ।

Moreover, if his master give him a wife, and she have [born] him sons or daughters, the wife and the children shall be his master's; and he shall go forth alone.

5 तर कमाराले सफासँग “म मेरा मालिक, मेरी पत्‍नी र मेरा छोराछोरीलाई प्रेम गर्छु; म मुक्त भएर जान्‍नँ”

And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;

6 भन्यो भने त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई परमेश्‍वरको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ । मालिकले त्यसलाई ढोका वा ढोकाको सङ्घारमा ल्याई त्यसको कान सुतारोले छेडिदिनुपर्छ । तब त्यस कमाराले जीवनभर मालिकको सेवा गर्नेछ ।

his master shall bring him to the judgment-seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door, —to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

7 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नी छोरीलाई कमारीको रूपमा बेच्यो भने कमाराहरूजस्तै त्यो मुक्त भएर जानुहुँदैन ।

And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the maidservants depart.

8 त्यसले आफ्ना मालिकलाई खुसी पारिन भने त्यसलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाइयोस् । त्यसलाई परदेशीकहाँ बेच्ने अधिकार मालिकलाई हुँदैन । मालिकले त्यसलाई छलपूर्वक व्यवहार गरेकोले त्योसित त्यस्तो अधिकार हुँदैन ।

If she be not pleasing to her master, after she has betrothed herself to him, he shall let her go free; but he is not at liberty to sell her to a foreign nation, because he has trifled with her.

9 मालिकले त्यसलाई आफ्नो छोरोकी पत्‍नी हुन दियो भने त्यसलाई आफ्नी छोरीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गरोस् ।

And if he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according to the right of daughters.

10 त्यसले आफ्नो लागि अर्की पत्‍नी ल्यायो भने त्यसले खानेकुरा, लुगाफाटा वा त्यसका वैवाहिक अधिकारहरू पुरा गर्नबाट नचुकोस् ।

And if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].

11 तर त्यसले पत्‍नीलाई यी तिनवटा कुरा उपलब्ध गराएन भने दाम नतिरीकनै त्यो मुक्त भएर जान सक्छे ।

And if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free without money.

12 कसैले कुनै मानिसलाई मर्ने गरी हिर्कायो भने त्यसलाई निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।

And if any man strike another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.

13 त्यसले जानाजानी यसो नगरी भवितव्य पर्न गएको रहेछ भने म त्यो भागेर जान सक्‍ने ठाउँ तोकिदिनेछु ।

But as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his hands, I will give you a place whither the slayer may flee.

14 कुनै मानिसले जानाजानी आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आक्रमण गरी धूर्त योजनामुताबिक मार्‍यो भने त्यो परमेश्‍वरको वेदीमा भए तापनि त्यसलाई मार्नलाई लगियोस् ।

And if any one lie in wait for his neighbor to kill him by craft, and he go for refuge, you shall take him from my altar to put him to death.

15 आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई हिर्काउने जोसुकै पनि निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।

Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to death.

16 जसले कुनै व्यक्तिलाई अपहरण गरी त्यसले उसलाई बेच्यो वा पक्रिँदा त्यसकै हातमा फेला पर्‍यो भने अपहरणकारीलाई मारिनैपर्छ ।

He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.

17 आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई सराप्‍ने जोसुकै पनि निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।

Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel, and prevail over him and sell him, and he be found with him, let him certainly die.

18 मानिसहरू एक-अर्कासित झगडा गर्दा एउटाले अर्कोलाई ढुङ्गाले वा मुक्‍काले हिर्कायो र त्यो व्यक्ति नमरी ओछ्यान पर्‍यो

And if two men revile each other and strike the one the other with a stone or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;

19 र त्यो फेरि उठेर आफ्नो लट्ठीको सहायताले यताउता हिँड्न सक्यो भने हिर्काउनेले त्यसको समयको हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले ऊ पूर्ण निको नभएसम्म सबै खर्च पनि दिनुपर्छ । तर त्यो मानिस हत्याको दोषी भने हुँदैन ।

if the man arise and walk abroad on his staff, he that struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for his loss of time, and for his healing.

20 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीलाई लट्ठीले हिर्काउँदा मुक्‍का लागेर मर्‍यो भने त्यस मानिसलाई निश्‍चय नै दण्ड दिइनुपर्छ ।

And if a man strike his man-servant or his maidservant, with a rod, and [the party] die under his hands, he shall be surely punished.

21 तर त्यो एक-दुई दिनसम्म बाँच्यो भने मालिकलाई दण्ड दिइनुहुँदैन किनकि उसले नोकरको क्षति भोग्‍नेछ ।

But if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be punished; for he is his money.

22 मानिसहरू सँगसँगै झगडा गर्दा गर्भवती महिलालाई हानि पुगी त्यसको बच्‍चा तुहियो तर त्यो आफैलाई कुनै चोट लागेन भने त्यस स्‍त्रीको पतिले मागेबमोजिम दोषी मानिसलाई हर्जाना तिराइनुपर्छ, र न्यायकर्ताहरूले तोकेबमोजिम त्यसले तिर्नुपर्छ ।

And if two men strive and strike a woman with child, and her child be born imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman's husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation.

23 तर गम्भीर चोट लागेको रहेछ भने त्यस मानिसलाई प्राणको सट्टा प्राण

But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life,

24 आँखाको सट्टा आँखा, दाँतको सट्टा दाँत, हातको सट्टा हात, खुट्टाको सट्टा खुट्टा

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 डामको सट्टा डाम, चोटको सट्टा चोट र कुटाइको सट्टा कुटाइ मिलोस् ।

burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

26 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको आँखामा हिर्काएर त्यसलाई नष्‍ट गरिदियो भने उसले आँखाको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।

And if one strike the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his maidservant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye's sake.

27 उसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको दाँत निकालिदियो भने उसले दाँतको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।

And if he should strike out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall send them away free for their tooth's sake.

28 कुनै गोरुले पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीलाई सिङले हानेर मार्‍यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ, र त्यसको मासु खाइनुहुँदैन ।

And if a bull gore a man or woman and they die, the bull shall be stoned with stones, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall be clear.

29 तर गोरुको मालिकचाहिँ निर्दोष होस् । तर गोरुको विगतमा हान्‍ने बानी थियो र त्यसको मालिकलाई यसबारे चेताउनी दिँदा पनि उसले बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ र गोरुले पुरुष वा महिलालाई मार्‍यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनैपर्छ र त्यसको मालिकलाई पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।

But if the bull should have been given to goring in former time, and men should have told his owner, and he have not removed him, but he should have slain a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.

30 त्यसको जीवनको लागि कुनै मूल्य माग गरिएको छ भने मागेजति मालिकले दिनुपर्छ ।

And if a ransom should be imposed on him, he shall pay for the ransom of his soul as much as they shall lay upon him.

31 गोरुले कुनै मानिसको छोरो वा छोरीलाई हानेको छ भने त्यसको मालिकले नियमअनुसार तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।

And if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to this ordinance.

32 गोरुले कमारा वा कमारीलाई हान्यो भने त्यसको मालिकले चाँदीको तिस सिक्‍का देओस् र गोरुलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारियोस् ।

And if the bull gore a man-servant or maidservant, he shall pay to their master thirty silver didrachmas, and the bull shall be stoned.

33 कुनै मानिसले खाडललाई उदाङ्गै राख्यो वा त्यसले खाडल खनेर त्यसलाई ढाकेन र त्यसभित्र गोरु वा गधा खस्यो भने

And if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall in there,

34 खाडल खन्‍नेले हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले मृत पशुको मालिकलाई रुपियाँ तिर्नपर्छ र त्यो मरेको पशु त्यसको हुनेछ ।

the owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their owner, and the dead shall be his own.

35 एउटा मान्छेको गोरुले अर्को मान्छेको गोरुलाई चोट पुर्‍याएर त्यो मर्‍यो भने त्यसले जिउँदो गोरुलाई बेची तिनीहरूले त्यसको मूल्य बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले मरेको गोरुलाई पनि बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ ।

And if any man's bull gore the bull of his neighbor, and it die, they shall sell the living bull and divide the money, and they shall divide the dead bull.

36 तर त्यस गोरुको विगतमा पनि हान्‍ने बानी रहेछ र त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ भनी थाहा हुन आयो उसले गोरुको सट्टा गोरु तिर्नुपर्छ अनि मरेको पशु त्यसको मालिकको हुनेछ ।

But if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past, and they have testified to his owner, and he have not removed him, he shall repay bull for bull, but the dead shall be his own.
