Исход 21
1 И сия оправдания, яже да положиши пред ними:
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 аще стяжеши раба Евреина, шесть лет да поработает тебе, в седмое же лето отпустиши его свободна туне:
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 аще сам един внидет, то един и изыдет: аще же жена внидет с ним, то и жена отидет с ним:
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 аще же господин даст ему жену, и родит ему сыны или дщери, жена и дети да будут господину его, сам же един да отидет.
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 Аще же отвещав раб речет: возлюбих господина моего и жену мою и дети моя, не отхожду свободен:
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 да приведет его господин его пред судище Божие, и тогда приведет его пред двери на праг, и да провертит ему ухо господин его шилом, и да поработает ему во веки.
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 Аще же кто продаст свою дщерь в рабыню, да не отидет, якоже отходят рабыни:
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 аще не угодит пред очима господина своего, юже он взяти в жену обеща, да отпустит ю: языку же чуждему господин да не продаст ея, понеже отверже ю:
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 аще же сыну своему обещал ю, по обыкновению дщерей да сотворит ей:
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 аще же другую поймет себе, потребных и одежд и союбщения ея да не лишит:
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 аще же сих трех не сотворит ей, да отидет без сребра туне.
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 И аще кого кто ударит, и умрет, смертию да умрет (и той):
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 аще же не хотя, но Бог предаде в руце его, дам тебе место, в неже убежит тамо убивый:
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 аще же кто приложит убити ближняго своего лестию и прибегнет ко олтарю, от олтаря Моего да возмеши того умертвити.
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 Иже биет отца своего или матерь свою, смертию да умрет.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 Иже злословит отца своего или матерь свою, смертию да умрет.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 Аще кто кого украдет от сынов Израилевых, и соодолев сему продаст его, и обрящется у него, смертию да скончается.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 Аще же сварятся два мужа, и ударит един другаго каменем или пястию, и не умрет, но сляжет на одре:
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 аще востав человек походит вне о жезле, неповинен будет ударивый его: точию за неделание его да даст цену и на цельбу.
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 Аще же кто ударит раба своего или рабу свою жезлом, и умрет от руки его, судом да отмстится:
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 аще же преживет день един или два, да не мстится: сребро бо его есть.
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 Аще же биются два мужа, и поразят жену непраздну, и изыдет младенец ея неизображен, тщетою да отщетится: якоже наложит муж жены тоя, подобающее да отдаст:
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 аще же изображен будет, да даст душу за душу,
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 жжение за жжение, язву за язву, вред за вред.
26 Аще же кто исткнет око рабу своему или око рабыни своей и ослепит, свободны да отпустит я за око их:
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 аще же зуб рабу своему или зуб рабе своей избиет, свободны да отпустит я за зуб их.
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 Аще же вол убодет мужа или жену, и умрет, камением да побиется вол той, и да не снедят мяса его, господин же вола неповинен будет:
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 аще же вол бодлив будет прежде вчерашняго и третияго дне, и возвестят господину его, и не заключит его, и убиет мужа или жену: вол камением да побиется, и господин его купно да умрет:
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 аще же окуп наложится ему, да даст окуп за душу свою, елико наложат ему:
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 аще же сына или дщерь убодет, по сему же суду да сотворят ему:
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 аще же раба или рабу убодет вол, сребра тридесять дидрахм да даст господину их, и вол камением да побиется.
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 Аще же кто отверзет яму или ископает яму и не покрыет ея, и впадется в ню телец или осля,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 господин ямы отдаст (цену), сребро даст господину их: умершее же ему да будет.
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 Аще же чий вол убодет вола ближняго, и умрет, да продадут вола живаго, и да разделят цену его, и вола умершаго да разделят:
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 аще же знаемь есть вол, яко бодлив есть прежде вчерашняго и третияго дне, и глаголаша господину его, и той не заключит его: да отдаст вола за вола, мертвый же ему да будет.
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].”
