Ekisodho 21
1 “Iyi ndiyo mirayiro yaunofanira kumisa pamberi pavo:
“Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 “Kana ukatenga muranda wechiHebheru, anofanira kukushandira kwamakore matanhatu. Asi mugore rechinomwe, anofanira kusunungurwa aende, asina chinhu chaanoripa.
“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3 Kana akauya ari oga, anofanira kusunungurwa aende ari oga; asi kana ano mukadzi pakuuya kwake, anofanira kuenda nomukadzi wake.
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 Kana tenzi wake akamupa mukadzi uye akamuberekera vanakomana kana vanasikana, mukadzi navana vake vachava vatenzi wake, uye murume chete ndiye achasunungurwa kuti aende hake.
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 “Asi muranda akati, ‘Ndinoda tenzi wangu, mukadzi wangu navana vangu asi handisi kuda kusunungurwa,’
But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
6 ipapo tenzi wake anofanira kuenda naye pamberi pavatongi. Achaenda naye pamukova kana pagwatidziro romukova agomuboora nzeve yake norunji. Ipapo achava muranda wake kwoupenyu hwake hwose.
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 forever.
7 “Kana munhu akatengesa mwanasikana wake kuti ave murandakadzi, iyeye haafaniri kusunungurwa kuti aende sezvinoita varandarume.
“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
8 Kana asingafadzi tenzi akamusarudza kuti ave wake, anofanira kumurega kuti adzikinurwe. Haana mvumo yokumutengesa kuvatorwa, nokuti aputsa chitenderano naye.
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, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Kana akamusarudzira mwanakomana wake, anofanira kumupa kodzero dzomwanasikana.
If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 Kana akawana mumwe mukadzi, haafaniri kunyima mukadzi wokutanga zvokudya, nguo kana kodzero dzake dzokuwanikwa.
If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 Kana asingamupi zvinhu zvitatu izvi, anofanira kuenda akasununguka pasina kana mari yaanoripa.
If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 “Ani naani anorova munhu uye akamuuraya, zvirokwazvo naiye achaurayiwa.
“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana asingazviiti nobwoni, asi Mwari atendera kuti zviitike, iye anofanira kutizira kunzvimbo yandichatsaura.
but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 Asi kana munhu akaronga uye akauraya mumwe munhu nobwoni, mumubvise paaritari yangu uye mumuuraye.
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 “Ani naani anorova baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
“Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 “Ani naani anoba mumwe munhu uye akamutengesa kana kuti akawanikwa achinaye paanenge abatwa, anofanira kuurayiwa.
“Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 “Ani naani anotuka baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
“Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 “Kana vanhu vakakakavadzana uye mumwe akarova mumwe nebwe kana nechibhakera chake uye akasafa asi akavata panhoo,
“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 munhu arova haazobatwi nemhosva kana mumwe wacho akamuka akafamba-famba kunze nomudonzvo wake; kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, anofanira kuripa munhu akakuvara nokuda kwokurasikirwa kwake nenguva yake uye aone kuti apora zvachose.
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 “Kana munhu akarova murandarume wake kana murandakadzi netsvimbo uye muranda akafa nokuda kwokurohwa, anofanira kurangwa,
“If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21 asi haafaniri kurangwa kana muranda akamuka shure kwezuva rimwe chete kana maviri, sezvo muranda ari mudziyo wake.
Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 “Kana varume vachirwa vakarova mukadzi ane mimba uye akabereka gavamwedzi asi asina kukuvara zvakanyanya, nyakupara mhosva anofanira kuripiswa zvose zvazvo zvinodiwa nomurume wacho uye zvinobvumirwa nedare remhosva.
“If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
23 Asi kana pane kukuvara kwakaipisisa, unofanira kutora upenyu noupenyu,
But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24 ziso neziso, zino nezino, ruoko noruoko, tsoka netsoka,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 kutsva nokutsva, ronda neronda, vanga nevanga.
burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 “Kana munhu akarova murandarume kana murandakadzi paziso uye akariparadza, anofanira kurega muranda achienda akasununguka kuti atsive ziso rake.
“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 Uye kana akabvisa zino romurandarume kana romurandakadzi, anofanira kurega muranda aende akasununguka kuti atsive zino rake.
If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 “Kana hando ikatunga murume kana mukadzi akafa, hando iyoyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe kusvika yafa, uye nyama yayo haifaniri kudyiwa.
“If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
29 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana hando yanga ine tsika yokutunga uye muridzi wayo akamboyambirwa hake asi akasaipfigira mudanga uye ikauraya murume kana mukadzi, hando iyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe uyewo muridzi wayo anofanira kuurayiwa.
But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this 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 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana pachidikanwa muripo unobva kwaari angadzikinura hake upenyu hwake nokuripa zvose zvazvo zvinodikanwa.
If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 Murayiro uyu unobatawo kana hando iyi yatunga mwanakomana kana mwanasikana.
Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 Kana hando ikatunga murandarume kana murandakadzi, muridzi wayo anofanira kuripa mashekeri esirivha makumi matatu kuna tenzi womuranda, uye hando inofanira kutakwa namabwe.
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 “Kana munhu akafukunura gomba kana kuchera rimwe gomba uye akarega kurifushira uye nzombe kana mbongoro ikawira mariri,
“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 muridzi wegomba anofanira kuripa kurasikirwa uku; anofanira kuripira muridzi wayo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
35 “Kana hando yomumwe munhu ikakuvadza hando yomumwe uye ikafa, vanofanira kutengesa mhenyu yacho vagogovana zvakaenzana mari yacho vari vaviri, uye nemombe yakafawo.
“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 Kunyange zvakadaro, kana zvakanga zvichizivikanwa kuti hando iyi yagara ine tsika yokutunga, asi muridzi akasaipfigira mudanga, muridzi anofanira kuripa chipfuwo nechipfuwo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
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.
