2 Mojzes 21
1 Torej to so sodbe, ki jih boš postavil prednje.
“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
2 Če kupiš hebrejskega služabnika, naj ti služi šest let. V sedmem letu pa naj odide prost, brez plačila.
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
3 Če je sam prišel, naj sam odide. Če je bil poročen, potem naj njegova žena odide z njim.
If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
4 Če mu je njegov gospodar dal ženo in mu je rodila sinove ali hčere, naj bodo žena in njeni otroci [od] njegovega gospodarja, on pa naj odide sam.
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 Če mu bo služabnik jasno rekel: ›Ljubim svojega gospodarja, svojo ženo in svoje otroke; ne bom odšel svoboden, ‹
But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
6 potem naj ga njegov gospodar privede k sodnikom. Prav tako naj ga privede k vratom ali k podboju in njegov gospodar naj njegovo uho prebode s šilom, on pa naj mu za vedno služi.
then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
7 Če človek proda svojo hčer, da postane dekla, naj ona ne odide, kakor storijo služabniki.
And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
8 Če ne ugaja svojemu gospodarju, ki si jo je zaročil, tedaj naj bo odkupljena. Ne bo imel oblasti, da jo proda v tuj narod, glede na to, da je z njo ravnal varljivo.
If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
9 Če jo je zaročil svojemu sinu, naj z njo postopa po načinu hčera.
And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
10 Če si vzame drugo ženo, naj njene hrane, njenega oblačila in njene zakonske dolžnosti ne zmanjša.
If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
11 Če ji ne stori teh treh stvari, potem naj ta odide ven prosta, brez denarja.
If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
12 Kdor udarja človeka, tako da umre, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
13 Če človek ne preži nanj, temveč ga Bog izroči v njegovo roko, potem bom določil kraj, kamor naj zbeži.
If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14 Toda če pride človek prepotentno nad svojega bližnjega, da ga z zvijačo ubije, ga odvedi od mojega oltarja, da lahko umre.
But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
15 Kdor udarja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
16 Kdor ugrabi človeka in ga prodaja ali če je le-ta najden v njegovi roki, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
Whoever kidnaps another man must be put to death, whether he sells him or the man is found in his possession.
17 Kdor preklinja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
18 Če se moža skupaj prepirata in je eden udaril drugega s kamnom ali s svojo pestjo, pa ta ne umre, temveč se drži svoje postelje;
If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
19 če ta ponovno vstane in hodi okoli na svoji palici, potem naj bo tisti, ki ga je udaril, oproščen. Samo plačal mu bo za izgubo njegovega časa in poskrbel bo, da bo temeljito ozdravljen.
then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
20 Če človek udari svojega služabnika ali svojo služabnico s palico in le-ta pod njegovo roko umre, naj bo zagotovo kaznovan.
If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21 Vendar če preživi dan ali dva, naj ne bo kaznovan, kajti on je njegov denar.
However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property.
22 Če se moža prepirata in poškodujeta nosečnico, tako da njen sad odide od nje in ne sledi nobena škoda, naj bo ta zagotovo kaznovan glede na to, kakor mu naloži ženin soprog. Plača naj, kakor mu bodo določili sodniki.
If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
23 Če sledi katerakoli nesreča, potem boš dal življenje za življenje,
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
24 oko za oko, zob za zob, roko za roko, stopalo za stopalo,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 opeklino za opeklino, rano za rano, udarec z bičem za udarec z bičem.
burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
26 Če človek udari oko svojega služabnika ali oko svoje služabnice, da le-ta propade, naj ga pusti oditi svobodnega zaradi njegovega očesa.
If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.
27 Če svojemu slugi izbije zob ali zob svoji dekli, naj ga pusti oditi prostega zaradi njegovega zoba.
And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
28 Če vol zabode moškega ali žensko, da umreta, potem naj bo vol zagotovo kamnan in njegovo meso naj se ne jé, toda lastnik vola naj bo oproščen.
If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.
29 Toda če je imel vol navado, da je s svojim rogom bodel v preteklem času in je bilo to pričevano njegovemu lastniku, pa ga ta ni držal zaprtega, temveč da je usmrtil moškega ali žensko, naj bo vol kamnan in tudi njegov lastnik naj bo usmrčen.
But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.
30 Če mu bo naložena vsota denarja, potem naj da za odkupnino svojega življenja, karkoli mu bo naloženo.
If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.
31 Če je nabodel sina ali nabodel hčer, naj mu bo storjeno glede na to sodbo.
If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule.
32 Če bo vol pobodel sluga ali deklo, naj njihovemu gospodarju da trideset šeklov srebra, vol pa naj bo kamnan.
If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
33 Če bo človek odprl jamo ali če bo človek izkopal jamo in je ne bo pokril in vanjo pade vol ali osel,
If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34 naj lastnik jame to dobro naredi in da denar lastniku le-teh; mrtva žival pa naj bo njegova.
the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.
35 Če pa vol nekega človeka poškoduje drugega, da ta umre, potem naj prodajo živega vola in razdelijo denar od njega; in prav tako naj razdelijo mrtvega vola.
If a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal.
36 Ali če je bilo znano, da je imel vol navado v preteklem času bosti, pa ga njegov lastnik ni imel zaprtega, naj zagotovo plača vola za vola, mrtvi pa naj bo njegov.
But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
