1 “अब तैँले तिनीहरूका सामु राख्‍ने आदेशहरू यी नै हुन्:
And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them.
2 तिमीहरूले हिब्रू कमारा किन्यौ भने त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नुपर्छ, र सातौँ वर्षमा केही नतिरी त्यो मुक्त हुनेछ ।
If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 त्यो एक्लै आएको हो भने त्यो एक्लै जाओस् । त्यो विवाहित हो भने त्यो आफ्नी पत्‍नीसँगै जाओस् ।
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was the husband of a woman, then shall his wife go out with him.
4 त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई पत्‍नी दिएका भए र त्यसले पतिको निम्ति छोराछोरीहरू जन्माएकी भए पत्‍नी र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू मालिकको हुनेछन्, तर पतिचाहिँ मुक्त हुनेछ ।
If his master should give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters: the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.
5 तर कमाराले सफासँग “म मेरा मालिक, मेरी पत्‍नी र मेरा छोराछोरीलाई प्रेम गर्छु; म मुक्त भएर जान्‍नँ”
And if the servant should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out 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 ।
Then shall his master bring him unto the judges, and he 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 till the jubilee.
7 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नी छोरीलाई कमारीको रूपमा बेच्यो भने कमाराहरूजस्तै त्यो मुक्त भएर जानुहुँदैन ।
And if a man sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants go out.
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 please not her master, to whom he hath assigned her, then shall he aid her to be redeemed: unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her, seeing he hath dealt faithlessly with her.
9 मालिकले त्यसलाई आफ्नो छोरोकी पत्‍नी हुन दियो भने त्यसलाई आफ्नी छोरीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गरोस् ।
And if he should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters.
10 त्यसले आफ्नो लागि अर्की पत्‍नी ल्यायो भने त्यसले खानेकुरा, लुगाफाटा वा त्यसका वैवाहिक अधिकारहरू पुरा गर्नबाट नचुकोस् ।
If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 तर त्यसले पत्‍नीलाई यी तिनवटा कुरा उपलब्ध गराएन भने दाम नतिरीकनै त्यो मुक्त भएर जान सक्छे ।
And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
12 कसैले कुनै मानिसलाई मर्ने गरी हिर्कायो भने त्यसलाई निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
13 त्यसले जानाजानी यसो नगरी भवितव्य पर्न गएको रहेछ भने म त्यो भागेर जान सक्‍ने ठाउँ तोकिदिनेछु ।
And if he did not lie in wait, but God let it come into his hand, then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 कुनै मानिसले जानाजानी आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आक्रमण गरी धूर्त योजनामुताबिक मार्‍यो भने त्यो परमेश्‍वरको वेदीमा भए तापनि त्यसलाई मार्नलाई लगियोस् ।
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile, from my altar shalt thou take him, that he may die.
15 आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई हिर्काउने जोसुकै पनि निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
16 जसले कुनै व्यक्तिलाई अपहरण गरी त्यसले उसलाई बेच्यो वा पक्रिँदा त्यसकै हातमा फेला पर्‍यो भने अपहरणकारीलाई मारिनैपर्छ ।
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, and he be found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17 आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई सराप्‍ने जोसुकै पनि निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 मानिसहरू एक-अर्कासित झगडा गर्दा एउटाले अर्कोलाई ढुङ्गाले वा मुक्‍काले हिर्कायो र त्यो व्यक्ति नमरी ओछ्यान पर्‍यो
And if men strive together, and one smite the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but keepeth 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 he rise again, and walk abroad upon his crutch, 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 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीलाई लट्ठीले हिर्काउँदा मुक्‍का लागेर मर्‍यो भने त्यस मानिसलाई निश्‍चय नै दण्ड दिइनुपर्छ ।
And if a man smite his servant or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand, it shall be surely avenged.
21 तर त्यो एक-दुई दिनसम्म बाँच्यो भने मालिकलाई दण्ड दिइनुहुँदैन किनकि उसले नोकरको क्षति भोग्‍नेछ ।
Nevertheless, if he continue alive a day or two, it shall not be avenged; 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 ।
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her children depart from her, and yet no farther mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, [with a fine, ] according as the husband of the woman will lay upon him; and he shall pay this by the decision of the judges.
23 तर गम्भीर चोट लागेको रहेछ भने त्यस मानिसलाई प्राणको सट्टा प्राण
And if any mischief follow, then shalt thou 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, bruise for bruise.
26 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको आँखामा हिर्काएर त्यसलाई नष्‍ट गरिदियो भने उसले आँखाको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
27 उसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको दाँत निकालिदियो भने उसले दाँतको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
And if he strike out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
28 कुनै गोरुले पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीलाई सिङले हानेर मार्‍यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ, र त्यसको मासु खाइनुहुँदैन ।
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that he die: then shall the ox be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
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 ox were wont to gore in time past, and warning have been given to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, and he killeth a man or a woman: the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also should of right be put to death;
30 त्यसको जीवनको लागि कुनै मूल्य माग गरिएको छ भने मागेजति मालिकले दिनुपर्छ ।
But there shall be laid on him a sum of money in atonement, and he shall give the ransom of his life whatsoever may be laid upon him.
31 गोरुले कुनै मानिसको छोरो वा छोरीलाई हानेको छ भने त्यसको मालिकले नियमअनुसार तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
If he gore a son, or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall be done unto him.
32 गोरुले कमारा वा कमारीलाई हान्यो भने त्यसको मालिकले चाँदीको तिस सिक्‍का देओस् र गोरुलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारियोस् ।
If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, thirty shekels of silver shall he give to his master, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 कुनै मानिसले खाडललाई उदाङ्गै राख्यो वा त्यसले खाडल खनेर त्यसलाई ढाकेन र त्यसभित्र गोरु वा गधा खस्यो भने
And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein:
34 खाडल खन्‍नेले हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले मृत पशुको मालिकलाई रुपियाँ तिर्नपर्छ र त्यो मरेको पशु त्यसको हुनेछ ।
The owner of the pit shall make it good, he shall make restitution in money unto the owner thereof; and the dead beast shall be his.
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 one man's ox hurt the ox of another, that he die: then shall they sell the live ox, and divide his money; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
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 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 shall belong to him.
