Baʼuu 21
1 “Seerawwan ati isaan dura keessu kanneenii dha:
And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them.
2 “Ati yoo Ibroota keessaa garbicha bitatte inni waggaa jaʼa siif haa hojjetu. Waggaa torbaffaatti garuu inni kaffaltii malee bilisa haa baʼu.
If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 Inni yoo kophaa isaa dhufee jiraate kophaa isaa bilisoomee haa deemu; yeroo dhufutti inni yoo niitii qabaate isheenis isa wajjin haa deemtu.
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 Yoo gooftaan isaa niitii isa fuusisee isheenis ilmaan yookaan intallan deesseefii jiraatte, ishee fi ijoolleen ishee kan gooftaa ishee taʼu; namichi qofti bilisa taʼee haa deemu.
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 “Garuu garbichi sun, ‘Ani gooftaa koo fi niitii koo, ijoollee koos nan jaalladha; ani bilisa baʼee deemuu hin barbaadu’ yoo jedhe,
And if the servant should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 gooftaan isaa fuula abbootii murtii duratti isa haa dhiʼeessu; gara balbalaatti yookaan gara michichila balbalaatti geessees mutaadhaan gurra isaa haa uru. Ergasii inni bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa tajaajila.
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 “Namni yoo intala isaa akka garbittiitti gurgurate, isheen akka garbichi tokko itti bilisa baʼutti bilisa hin baʼin.
And if a man sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants go out.
8 Yoo isheen goofticha ofii isaatiif ishee filate sanatti toluu baatte inni akka isheen furamtuu haa godhu. Inni waan isheef amanamuu dhabeef dabarsee ormatti ishee gurguruuf mirga hin qabu.
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 Yoo ilma isaatiif ishee filate immoo mirga intala ofii isaatiif kennu isheefis haa kennu.
And if he should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters.
10 Yoo niitii biraa fuudhe immoo niitii isaa kan jalqabaa sana nyaata, uffataa fi mirga niitiif malu itti hin hirʼisin.
If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 Yoo inni wantoota sadan kanneen isheef gochuu dide garuu isheen kaffaltii maallaqaa tokko malee bilisa baʼuu qabdi.
And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
12 “Namni nama rukutee ajjeesu innis haa ajjeefamu.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
13 Inni riphee utuu hin eeggatin Waaqatu harka isaa buuse yoo taʼe garuu iddoo ani ramadutti haa baqatu.
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 Garuu yoo namni tokko ittuma yaadee dabaan nama ajjeese iddoo aarsaa koo biraa fuudhaatii ajjeesaa.
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 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa rukutu haa ajjeefamu.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
16 “Namni nama hatee yoo gurgurate yookaan namichi hatame sun harka isaatti yoo argame hattichi haa ajjeefamu.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, and he be found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu haa ajjeefamu.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 “Yoo namoonni wal lolanii inni tokko isa kaan dhagaadhaan yookaan abootteedhaan rukutee namichi rukutame sun duʼuu baatee garuu siree irratti hafe,
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 ergasii immoo yoo inni kaʼee ulee isaa dhadhaabachaa asii fi achi ala keessa deddeeme namichi isa dhaʼe sun itti hin gaafatamu; sababii yeroo namicha miidhame sanaa jalaa balleesseef garuu gatii haa baasu; hamma inni guutumaan guutuutti fayyuttis isa haa walʼaanu.
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 “Yoo namni tokko uleedhaan garbicha isaa yookaan garbittii isaa dhaʼee garbichi sunis harka isaatti duʼe namichi haa adabamu;
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 garuu sababii garbichi sun qabeenya isaa taʼeef yoo garbichi sun bultii tokko yookaan bultii lama booddee kaʼe, namichi hin adabamu.
Nevertheless, if he continue alive a day or two, it shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
22 “Yoo namoonni wal lolaa jiran dubartii ulfoofte tokkotti buʼanii ulfii garaadhaa baʼee garuu miidhamni hamaan ishee hin qaqqabin, namichi ishee miidhe sun waan dhirsi dubartittii isa gaafatee fi waan abbootiin murtii murteessan baasuu qaba.
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 Yoo miidhamni hamaan jiraate garuu, qooda lubbuu, lubbuu;
And if any mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life.
24 qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii, ilkaan; qooda harkaa, harka; qooda miillaa, miilla;
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 qooda gubuu, gubuu; qooda madaa, madaa; qooda buruqsuu, buruqsuu baafta.
Burning for burning, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
26 “Namni tokko yoo ija garbicha isaa yookaan ija garbittii isaa rukutee jaamse, inni qooda ija sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
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 Inni yoo ilkaan garbicha isaa yookaan ilkaan garbittii isaa rukutee cabse, qooda ilkaan sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
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 “Qotiyyoon tokko yoo dhiira yookaan dubartii waraanee ajjeese qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan tumamee haa ajjeefamu; foon isaas hin nyaatamin. Garuu abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa itti hin gaafatamu.
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 Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala nama waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee abbaan isaas akka isa eeggatu gorfamee garuu waan inni isa eeggachuu dideef qotiyyoon sun dhiira yookaan dubartii ajjeese, qotiyyoon sun dhagaadhaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu; abbaan qotiyyoo sanaas haa ajjeefamu.
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 Taʼus inni yoo gumaa gaafatame waan gaafatame hunda kaffalee lubbuu isaa haa oolfatu.
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 Yoo qotiyyoon sun ilma yookaan intala tokko waraane illee seeruma kanatu hojjeta.
If he gore a son, or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall be done unto him.
32 Yoo qotiyyoon sun garbicha yookaan garbittii waraane abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa gooftaa garba sanaatiif meetii saqilii soddoma haa kaffalu; qotiyyoon sunis dhagaan rukutamee haa ajjeefamu.
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 “Namni tokko yoo boolla afaan banaa dhiise yookaan yoo boolla qotee utuu hin duuchin dhiisee sangaan yookaan harreen boolla sana keessa buʼe,
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 abbaan boolla sanaa abbaa horii sanaatiif maallaqa haa baasu; horiin duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
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 “Yoo qotiyyoon nama tokkoo qotiyyoo nama biraa miidhee duʼaan gaʼe jarri qotiyyoo fayyaa sana haa gurgurani; gatii qotiyyoo sanaatii fi qotiyyoo duʼe sana qixxeetti haa qooddatani.
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 Yoo qotiyyoon sun durumaanuu amala horii waraanuu qabaachuun isaa beekamee garuu waan abbaan isaa isa eeggachuu dideef abbaan qotiyyoo sanaa qooda qotiyyoo, qotiyyoo haa baasu; qotiyyoon duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
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.
