2 Мојсијева 21
1 А ово су закони које ћеш им поставити:
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 Ако купиш роба Јеврејина, шест година нека ти служи, а седме нек отиде слободан без откупа.
When/If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for [only] six years. In the seventh year you must free him [from being your slave], and he is not required to pay you anything [for setting him free].
3 Ако буде дошао инокосан, нека и отиде инокосан; ако ли буде имао жену, нека иде и жена с њим.
If he was not married before he became your slave, and if he marries [someone while he is your slave], his wife is not to be set free [with him]. But if he was married before he became your slave, you must free both him and his wife.
4 Ако га господар његов ожени, и жена му роди синове или кћери, жена с децом својом нека буде господару његовом, а он нека отиде сам.
If a slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters [while her husband is a slave], only the man is to be freed. His wife and children will continue to be slaves of their master.
5 Ако ли роб рече тврдо: Љубим господара свог, жену своју и децу своју, нећу да идем да будем слободан,
But when it is time for the slave to be set free, if the slave says, ‘I love my master and my wife and my children, and I do not want to be set free,’
6 Онда нека га доведе господар његов пред судије и постави на вратима или код довратка, и онде нека му господар пробуши ухо шилом, па нека му робује довека.
then his master must take him to [the place where they worship] God (OR, to [the owner’s] house). There he must make the slave stand against the door or the doorpost. Then the master will use an (awl/pointed metal rod) to make a hole in the slave’s ear. Then [he will fasten a tag to the slave’s ear to indicate that] (he will own that slave for the rest of his life/he will own the slave as long as the slave lives).
7 Ако ко прода кћер своју да буде робиња, да не одлази као робови што одлазе.
If a man sells his daughter to become a slave, she should not be set free [after six years], as the male slaves are.
8 Ако не буде по вољи господару свом, и он је не узме за жену, нека је пусти на откупе; али да нема власти продати је у туђ народ учинивши јој неверу.
If the man who bought her wanted her to be his wife, but if [later] he is not pleased with her, he must sell her back to her father. He must not sell her to a foreigner, because that would be breaking the contract/agreement [he made with the girl’s father].
9 Ако ли је заручи сину свом, да јој учини по праву које имају кћери.
If the man who buys her wants her to be a wife for his son, he must then treat her as though she were his own daughter.
10 Ако ли узме другу, да јој не умали хране ни одела ни заједнице.
If the master takes another slave girl to be another wife for himself, he must continue to give the first slave wife the same amount of food and clothing that he gave to her before, and he must continue to have sex [EUP] with her as before.
11 Ако јој ово троје не учини, онда нек отиде без откупа.
If he does not do all these three things for her, he must free her [from being a slave], and she is not required to pay anything [for being set free].
12 Ко удари човека, те умре, да се погуби.
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 Ако ли не буде хтео, него му га Бог даде у руке, одредићу ти место куда може побећи.
But if the one who struck the other did not intend to kill that person, the one who struck him can escape to a place that I will choose for you, [and he will be safe there].
14 Ако би ко намерно устао на ближњег свог да га убије из преваре, одвуци га и од олтара мог да се погуби.
But if someone gets angry with another person and kills him, even if the murderer runs to the altar, [a place that God designated as a place to be safe], you must execute him.
15 Ко удари оца свог или матер своју, да се погуби.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 Ко украде човека и прода или се нађе у његовим рукама, да се погуби.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 Ко опсује оца свог или матер своју, да се погуби.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 Кад се сваде људи, па један удари другог каменом или песницом, али онај не умре него падне у постељу,
Suppose two people fight, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist. And suppose the person he strikes does not die but is injured and has to stay in bed [for a while],
19 Ако се придигне и изађе о штапу, да не буде крив онај који је ударио, само дангубу да му накнади и сву видарину да плати.
and later he is able to walk outside using a cane. Then the person who struck him does not have to be punished. However, he must pay the injured person the money he could not earn [while he was recovering], and he must also pay the injured person’s medical expenses until that person is well.
20 Ко удари роба свог или робињу штапом тако да му умре под руком, да је крив;
If someone strikes his male or female slave with a stick, if the slave dies (immediately/as a result) [IDM], the one who struck him must be punished.
21 Али ако преживи дан или два, да није крив, јер је његов новац.
But if the slave lives for a day or two after he is struck [and then dies], you must not punish the one who struck him. Not having that slave to be able to work for him any longer is enough punishment.
22 Кад се сваде људи, па који од њих удари трудну жену тако да изађе из ње дете, али се не догоди смрт, да плати глобу колико муж женин рече, а да плати преко судија;
Suppose two people are fighting and they hurt a pregnant woman with the result that (she has a miscarriage/her baby is born prematurely and dies). If the woman is not harmed in any other way, the one who injured her must pay a fine. He must pay whatever the woman’s husband demands, after a judge approves of the fine.
23 Ако ли се догоди смрт, тада ћеш узети живот за живот,
But if the woman is injured in some additional way, the one who injured her must be caused to suffer in exactly the same way [that he caused her to suffer]. If she dies, he must be executed.
24 Око за око, зуб за зуб, руку за руку, ногу за ногу,
If her eye is injured or destroyed, or if he knocks out one of her teeth, or her hand or foot is injured, or if she is burned or bruised, the one who injured her must be injured in the same way.
25 Ужег за ужег, рану за рану, модрицу за модрицу.
26 Ако ко удари по оку роба свог или робињу своју, те му поквари око, да га отпусти слободног за око његово.
If the owner of a slave strikes the eye of his male or female slave and ruins it, he must free that slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s eye.
27 И ако избије зуб робу свом или робињи својој, да га пусти слободног за зуб његов.
If someone knocks out one of his slave’s teeth, he must free the slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s tooth.
28 Ако во убоде човека или жену, те умре, да се во заспе камењем и да се не једе месо од њега, а господар од вола да није крив.
If a bull gores a man or woman with the result that the person dies, you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must not punish the owner of the bull.
29 Али ако је во пре био бодач и господар његов знао за то па га није чувао, те убије човека или жену, во да се заспе камењем, и господар његов да се погуби.
But suppose the bull had attacked people several times before, and its owner had been warned, but he did not keep the bull inside a fence. Then you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must also execute its owner.
30 Ако му се одреди да се откупи, нека да откуп за живот свој, колико му се одреди.
However, if the owner of the bull is allowed to pay a fine (to save his own life/in order not to be executed), he must pay the full amount that the judges say that he must pay.
31 Ако убоде сина или кћер, да му буде по истом закону.
If someone’s bull attacks and gores another person’s son or daughter, you must treat the bull’s owner according to that same rule.
32 Ако ли роба убоде во или робињу, да да господару њиховом тридесет сикала сребра и во да се заспе камењем.
If a bull attacks and gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay to the slave’s owner 30 pieces of silver. Then you must [kill the bull by] throwing stones at it.
33 Ако ко открије јаму или ископа јаму а не покрије, па упадне во или магарац,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 Да накнади господар од јаме и плати новцем господару њиховом, а што је угинуло да је његово.
Then the owner of the pit/cistern must pay for the animal that died. He must give the money to the animal’s owner, but then he can take away the animal that died and [do whatever he wants to with it].
35 Ако во једног убоде вола другом, те погине, онда да продаду вола живог и новце да поделе, тако и убијеног вола да поделе.
If someone’s bull hurts another person’s bull with the result that it dies, the owners of both bulls must sell the bull that is living, and they must divide [between them] the money [that they receive] for it. They must also divide [between them the meat of] the animal that died.
36 Ако ли се знало да је во пре био бодач па га није чувао господар његов, да да вола за вола, а убијени нека буде њему.
However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died [and do with it whatever he wants to do].”
