2 Mojzes 21
1 Torej to so sodbe, ki jih boš postavil prednje.
“Now these are the ordinances which you shall 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 shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out 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 comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out 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 wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
5 Če mu bo služabnik jasno rekel: ›Ljubim svojega gospodarja, svojo ženo in svoje otroke; ne bom odšel svoboden, ‹
But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out 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 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 Če človek proda svojo hčer, da postane dekla, naj ona ne odide, kakor storijo služabniki.
“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants 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 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 Če jo je zaročil svojemu sinu, naj z njo postopa po načinu hčera.
If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 Če si vzame drugo ženo, naj njene hrane, njenega oblačila in njene zakonske dolžnosti ne zmanjša.
If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 Če ji ne stori teh treh stvari, potem naj ta odide ven prosta, brez denarja.
If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 Kdor udarja človeka, tako da umre, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall 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.
but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 Toda če pride človek prepotentno nad svojega bližnjega, da ga z zvijačo ubije, ga odvedi od mojega oltarja, da lahko umre.
If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbour to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 Kdor udarja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
“Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 Kdor ugrabi človeka in ga prodaja ali če je le-ta najden v njegovi roki, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
“Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 Kdor preklinja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
“Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall 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 quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t 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.
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 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 servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21 Vendar če preživi dan ali dva, naj ne bo kaznovan, kajti on je njegov denar.
Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for 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 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 Če sledi katerakoli nesreča, potem boš dal življenje za življenje,
But if any harm follows, then you must take life for 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.
burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
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 his servant’s eye, or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 Če svojemu slugi izbije zob ali zob svoji dekli, naj ga pusti oditi prostega zaradi njegovega zoba.
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 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 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 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 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 Če mu bo naložena vsota denarja, potem naj da za odkupnino svojega življenja, karkoli mu bo naloženo.
If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 Če je nabodel sina ali nabodel hčer, naj mu bo storjeno glede na to sodbo.
Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgement it shall be done to him.
32 Če bo vol pobodel sluga ali deklo, naj njihovemu gospodarju da trideset šeklov srebra, vol pa naj bo kamnan.
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 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 a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull 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 it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall 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 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 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.
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.
