Baʼuu 21
1 “Seerawwan ati isaan dura keessu kanneenii dha:
"Now these are the ordinances which you shall 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 you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
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 comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall 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 gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, 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,
But if the servant shall 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 his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
7 “Namni yoo intala isaa akka garbittiitti gurgurate, isheen akka garbichi tokko itti bilisa baʼutti bilisa hin baʼin.
"If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
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 doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Yoo ilma isaatiif ishee filate immoo mirga intala ofii isaatiif kennu isheefis haa kennu.
If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 Yoo niitii biraa fuudhe immoo niitii isaa kan jalqabaa sana nyaata, uffataa fi mirga niitiif malu itti hin hirʼisin.
If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 Yoo inni wantoota sadan kanneen isheef gochuu dide garuu isheen kaffaltii maallaqaa tokko malee bilisa baʼuu qabdi.
If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 “Namni nama rukutee ajjeesu innis haa ajjeefamu.
"One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 Inni riphee utuu hin eeggatin Waaqatu harka isaa buuse yoo taʼe garuu iddoo ani ramadutti haa baqatu.
but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 Garuu yoo namni tokko ittuma yaadee dabaan nama ajjeese iddoo aarsaa koo biraa fuudhaatii ajjeesaa.
If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa rukutu haa ajjeefamu.
"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 “Namni nama hatee yoo gurgurate yookaan namichi hatame sun harka isaatti yoo argame hattichi haa ajjeefamu.
"Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.
17 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu haa ajjeefamu.
"Anyone who curses 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,
"If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to 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 rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
20 “Yoo namni tokko uleedhaan garbicha isaa yookaan garbittii isaa dhaʼee garbichi sunis harka isaatti duʼe namichi haa adabamu;
"If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21 garuu sababii garbichi sun qabeenya isaa taʼeef yoo garbichi sun bultii tokko yookaan bultii lama booddee kaʼe, namichi hin adabamu.
Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
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 fight and strike a pregnant woman so that her child is born prematurely, but there is no injury, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.
23 Yoo miidhamni hamaan jiraate garuu, qooda lubbuu, lubbuu;
But if there is injury, then you must take 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, and 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.
"If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 Inni yoo ilkaan garbicha isaa yookaan ilkaan garbittii isaa rukutee cabse, qooda ilkaan sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
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 a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
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 bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
30 Taʼus inni yoo gumaa gaafatame waan gaafatame hunda kaffalee lubbuu isaa haa oolfatu.
If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.
31 Yoo qotiyyoon sun ilma yookaan intala tokko waraane illee seeruma kanatu hojjeta.
Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to 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 bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their 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,
"If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
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 give money to its owner, and the dead animal 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.
"If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
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.
Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
