Kutoka 21
1 “Hizi ndizo sheria utakazoweka mbele ya Waisraeli:
These ben the domes, whiche thou schalt sette forth to hem.
2 “Kama ukimnunua mtumwa wa Kiebrania, atakutumikia kwa miaka sita. Lakini katika mwaka wa saba, atakuwa huru naye atakwenda zake pasipo kulipa chochote.
If thou biest an Ebrew seruaunt, he schal serue thee sixe yeer; in the seuenthe yeer he schal go out fre,
3 Kama akija peke yake, atakwenda huru peke yake, lakini kama akija na mke, ataondoka pamoja naye.
with out prijs; with what maner clooth he entride, with siche clooth go he out; if he entride hauynge a wijf, and the wijf schal go out to gidere.
4 Kama bwana wake alimpatia mke naye akamzalia wana au binti, mwanamke pamoja na watoto wake watakuwa mali ya bwana wake na huyo mwanaume ataondoka peke yake.
But if the lord of the servaunt yaf a wijf to hym, and sche childide sones and douytris, the womman and hir children schulen be hir lordis; sotheli the seruaunt schal go out with his owne clooth.
5 “Lakini kama mtumishi akisema, ‘Ninampenda bwana wangu, mke wangu pamoja na watoto na sitaki kuwa huru,’
That if the seruaunt seith, Y loue my lord, and wijf, and children, Y schal not go out fre;
6 ndipo bwana wake atakapolazimika kumpeleka mbele ya waamuzi. Kisha atampeleka kwenye mlango au kizingiti na kutoboa sikio lake kwa shazia. Naye atamtumikia bwana wake maisha yake yote.
the lord brynge hym to goddis, that is, iugis; and he schal be set to the dore, and postis; and the lord schal perse his eere with a nal, and he schal be seruaunt to hym til in to the world.
7 “Kama mtu akimuuza binti yake kuwa mtumwa, hataachwa huru kama watumwa wa kiume waachiwavyo.
If ony man sillith his douyter in to seruauntesse, sche schal not go out as handmaidis weren wont to go out;
8 Kama hakumpendeza bwana wake aliyemchagua, huyo bwana atamwacha akombolewe. Hatakuwa na haki ya kumuuza kwa wageni, kwa sababu huyo bwana atakuwa amekosa uaminifu.
if sche displesith in the iyen of hir lord, to whom sche was bitakun, he schal delyuere hir; sotheli he schal not haue power to sille hir to an alien puple, if he forsakith hir.
9 Kama akimchagua aolewe na mwanawe, ni lazima ampe haki za kuwa binti yake.
Forsothe if he weddith hir to his sonne, he schal do to hir `bi the custom of douytris;
10 Ikiwa huyo mwana aliyeozwa mtumwa mwanamke ataoa mwanamke mwingine, ni lazima aendelee kumtosheleza huyo mke wa kwanza kwa chakula, mavazi na haki zote za ndoa.
that if he takith another womman to hym, he schal puruey to the damysele weddingis, and clothis, and he schal not denye the prijs of chastite.
11 Iwapo hatamtosheleza kwa mambo hayo matatu, huyo mke wa kwanza ataondoka na kuwa huru bila malipo yoyote ya fedha.
If he doith not these thre, sche schal go out freli without money.
12 “Yeyote ampigaye mtu na kumuua ni lazima auawe hakika.
He that smytith a man, and wole sle, die bi deeth;
13 Hata hivyo, kama hakumuua kwa makusudi, lakini Mungu akaruhusu itendeke, basi atakimbilia mahali nitakapomchagulia.
forsothe if a man settide not aspies, but God `bitook hym in to hise hondis, Y schal ordeyne a place to thee, whidur he owith to fle.
14 Lakini kama mtu akipanga na kumuua mwingine kwa makusudi, mwondoe katika madhabahu yangu na kumuua.
If ony man sleeth his neiybore bi biforecastyng, and bi aspies, drawe thou hym awey fro myn auter, that he die.
15 “Yeyote amshambuliaye baba yake au mama yake ni lazima auawe.
He that smytith his fadir, ether modir, die by deeth.
16 “Yeyote amtekaye nyara mwingine akamuuza au akamweka kwake, akikamatwa ni lazima auawe.
He that cursith his fadir, ether modir, die bi deeth.
17 “Yeyote atakayemlaani baba yake au mama yake ni lazima auawe.
He that stelith a man, and sillith hym, if he is conuyt of the gilt, die bi deeth.
18 “Kama watu wakigombana na mmoja akimpiga mwingine kwa jiwe au kwa ngumi yake na hakufa bali akaugua na kulala kitandani,
If men chiden, and the tother smyte his neiybore with a stoon, ether with the fist, and he is not deed, but liggith in the bed,
19 yule aliyempiga ngumi hatahesabiwa kuwa na hatia kama mwenzake ataamka na kujikongoja kwa fimbo yake, lakini hata hivyo, ni lazima amlipe fidia ya muda wake aliopoteza na awajibike mpaka apone kabisa.
if he risith, and goith forth on his staf, he that smoot schal be innocent; so netheles that he restore hise trauelis, and costis in lechis.
20 “Kama mtu akimpiga mtumwa wake wa kiume au wa kike kwa fimbo na mtumwa huyo akafa papo hapo, ni lazima aadhibiwe
He that smytith his seruaunt, ether handmayde, with a yerde, and thei ben deed in hise hondis, schal be gilti of cryme.
21 lakini ikiwa mtumwa ataamka baada ya siku moja au mbili, hataadhibiwa, kwa sababu yule mtumwa ni mali yake.
Sotheli if the seruaunt ouerlyueth o dai, ether tweyne, he schal not be suget to peyne, `that is of deeth, for the seruaunt is his catel.
22 “Ikiwa watu wawili wanapigana na wakamuumiza mwanamke mjamzito, naye akazaa kabla ya wakati lakini hakuna majeraha makubwa, mhalifu atatozwa mali kiasi cha madai ya mume wa yule mwanamke, na jinsi mahakama itakavyoamua.
If men chiden, and a man smytith a womman with childe, and sotheli makith the child deed borun, but the womman ouerlyueth, he schal be suget to the harm, as myche as the `hosebonde of the womman axith, and the iugis demen.
23 Lakini kukiwa na jeraha kubwa, ni lazima ulipe uhai kwa uhai,
But if the deeth of hir sueth,
24 jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino, mkono kwa mkono, mguu kwa mguu,
he schal yelde lijf for lijf, iye for iye, tooth for tooth, hond for hond, foot for foot,
25 kuchomwa moto kwa kuchomwa moto, jeraha kwa jeraha, mchubuko kwa mchubuko.
brennyng for brennyng, wounde `with schedyng of blood for wounde `with schedyng of blood, `a wan wounde for a wan wounde.
26 “Ikiwa mtu atampiga mtumwa mwanaume au mwanamke kwenye jicho na kuliharibu, ni lazima amwache huru yule mtumwa kama fidia ya hilo jicho.
If a man smytith the iye of his seruaunt, ethir of handmaide, and makith hem oon iyed, he schal delyuere hem fre for `the iye which he puttide out.
27 Kama akimvunja jino mtumwa wa kiume au wa kike, ni lazima amwache huru huyo mtumwa kwa kufidia hilo jino.
Also if he smytith out a tooth fro his seruaunt, ethir handmaide, in lijk maner he schal delyuere hem fre.
28 “Kama fahali akimuua mwanaume au mwanamke kwa kumpiga kwa pembe, fahali huyo ni lazima auawe kwa kupigwa mawe, na nyama yake haitaliwa. Lakini mwenye fahali huyo hatawajibika.
If an oxe smytith with horn a man, ether a womman, and thei ben deed, the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus, and hise fleischis schulen not be etun, and the lord of the oxe schal be innocent.
29 Lakini hata hivyo, ikiwa huyo fahali amekuwa na tabia ya kupiga kwa pembe, na mwenyewe ameonywa na hakutaka kumfungia naye akamuua mwanaume au mwanamke, huyo fahali ni lazima auawe kwa mawe na mwenye fahali pia auawe.
That if the oxe was `a pultere with horn fro yisterdai and the thridde dai ago, and men warneden `the lord of hym, nether the lord closide hym, and he sleeth a man, ethir womman, bothe the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus, and thei schulen sle `the lord of hym;
30 Lakini ikiwa malipo yatatakiwa kwake, basi anaweza kulipa kinachodaiwa ili kuukomboa uhai wake.
that if prijs is put to the lord, he schal yyue for his lijf what euer he is axide.
31 Sheria hii pia itatumika ikiwa fahali atampiga kwa pembe mwana au binti.
And if he smytith with horn a son, and a douytir, he schal be suget to lijk sentence.
32 Ikiwa fahali atampiga mtumwa wa kike au wa kiume, mwenye fahali atalipa shekeli thelathini za fedha kwa bwana mwenye mtumwa, na fahali ni lazima auawe kwa mawe.
If the oxe asailith a seruaunt, and handmaide, the lord of the oxe schal yyue thretti siclis of siluer to `his lord; forsothe the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus.
33 “Kama mtu akiacha shimo wazi, ama akachimba shimo kisha asilifukie, na ngʼombe au punda akatumbukia ndani yake,
If ony man openeth a cisterne, and diggith, and hilith it not, and an oxe ether asse fallith in to it,
34 mwenye shimo ni lazima alipe hasara iliyotokea; ni lazima amlipe mwenye mnyama. Mnyama aliyekufa atakuwa wake.
the lord of the cisterne schal yelde the prijs of the werk beestis; forsothe that that is deed schal be his.
35 “Kama fahali wa mtu fulani atamuumiza fahali wa mtu mwingine na akafa, watamuuza yule aliye hai na wagawane sawa fedha pamoja na mnyama aliyekufa.
If another mannus oxe woundith the oxe of another man, and he is deed, thei schulen sille the quyke oxe, and thei schulen departe the prijs; forsothe thei schulen departe bitwixe hem the karkeis of the deed oxe.
36 Hata hivyo, kama ikifahamika kwamba fahali huyo alikuwa na tabia ya kupiga kwa pembe na mwenyewe hakumfunga, ni lazima mwenye fahali alipe mnyama kwa mnyama, na mnyama aliyekufa atakuwa wake.
Forsothe if his lord wiste, that the oxe was a puttere fro yistirdai and the thridde dai ago, and kepte not him, he schal yelde oxe for oxe, and he schal take the hool carkeys.
