Baʼuu 21
1 “Seerawwan ati isaan dura keessu kanneenii dha:
'And these [are] the judgments which thou dost 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.
'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;
3 Inni yoo kophaa isaa dhufee jiraate kophaa isaa bilisoomee haa deemu; yeroo dhufutti inni yoo niitii qabaate isheenis isa wajjin haa deemtu.
if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone 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 lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters — the wife and her children are her lord's, and he goeth 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 really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do 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 hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him — to the age.
7 “Namni yoo intala isaa akka garbittiitti gurgurate, isheen akka garbichi tokko itti bilisa baʼutti bilisa hin baʼin.
'And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants;
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 evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously with her.
9 Yoo ilma isaatiif ishee filate immoo mirga intala ofii isaatiif kennu isheefis haa kennu.
'And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.
10 Yoo niitii biraa fuudhe immoo niitii isaa kan jalqabaa sana nyaata, uffataa fi mirga niitiif malu itti hin hirʼisin.
'If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;
11 Yoo inni wantoota sadan kanneen isheef gochuu dide garuu isheen kaffaltii maallaqaa tokko malee bilisa baʼuu qabdi.
and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
12 “Namni nama rukutee ajjeesu innis haa ajjeefamu.
'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;
13 Inni riphee utuu hin eeggatin Waaqatu harka isaa buuse yoo taʼe garuu iddoo ani ramadutti haa baqatu.
as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee.
14 Garuu yoo namni tokko ittuma yaadee dabaan nama ajjeese iddoo aarsaa koo biraa fuudhaatii ajjeesaa.
'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.
15 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa rukutu haa ajjeefamu.
'And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
16 “Namni nama hatee yoo gurgurate yookaan namichi hatame sun harka isaatti yoo argame hattichi haa ajjeefamu.
'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
17 “Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu haa ajjeefamu.
'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly 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 when men contend, and a man hath smitten his neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but hath fallen on the 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, and hath gone up and down without on his staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation he giveth, and he is thoroughly healed.
20 “Yoo namni tokko uleedhaan garbicha isaa yookaan garbittii isaa dhaʼee garbichi sunis harka isaatti duʼe namichi haa adabamu;
'And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand — he is certainly avenged;
21 garuu sababii garbichi sun qabeenya isaa taʼeef yoo garbichi sun bultii tokko yookaan bultii lama booddee kaʼe, namichi hin adabamu.
only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not 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.
'And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him, and he hath given through the judges;
23 Yoo miidhamni hamaan jiraate garuu, qooda lubbuu, lubbuu;
and if there is mischief, then thou hast given 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, stripe for stripe.
26 “Namni tokko yoo ija garbicha isaa yookaan ija garbittii isaa rukutee jaamse, inni qooda ija sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
'And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye;
27 Inni yoo ilkaan garbicha isaa yookaan ilkaan garbittii isaa rukutee cabse, qooda ilkaan sanaa garba sana bilisa haa baasu.
and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for 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.
'And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
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.
and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it, and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner also is put to death.
30 Taʼus inni yoo gumaa gaafatame waan gaafatame hunda kaffalee lubbuu isaa haa oolfatu.
'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;
31 Yoo qotiyyoon sun ilma yookaan intala tokko waraane illee seeruma kanatu hojjeta.
whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is 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 ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is 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 when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen thither, —
34 abbaan boolla sanaa abbaa horii sanaatiif maallaqa haa baasu; horiin duʼe sun immoo kan isaa haa taʼu.
the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is 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 when a man's ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour, and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and also the dead one they do halve;
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, it hath been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his.
