Exodo 21

1 Ito nga ang mga hatol na igagawad mo sa harap nila.

“These are the regulations you are to present to them:

2 Kung ikaw ay bumili ng isang aliping Hebreo, ay anim na taong maglilingkod siya; at sa ikapito ay aalis siyang laya na walang sauling bayad.

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to work for you for six years. But in the seventh year, he is to be freed without having to pay anything.

3 Kung siya'y pumasok na magisa, ay aalis na mag-isa: kung may asawa ay aalis nga ang kaniyang asawa na kasama niya.

If he was single when he came, he is to leave single. If he had a wife when he came, she is to leave with him.

4 Kung siya'y bigyan ng kaniyang panginoon ng asawa, at magkaanak sa kaniya ng mga lalake, o mga babae; ang asawa at ang kaniyang mga anak ay magiging sa kaniyang panginoon, at siya'y aalis na magisa.

If his master provides him a wife and she has children with him, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall be freed.

5 Datapuwa't kung maliwanag na sabihin ng alipin, Aking iniibig ang aking panginoon, ang aking asawa, at ang aking mga anak; ako'y hindi aalis na laya:

However, if the slave formally states, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to be freed,’

6 Kung magkagayo'y dadalhin siya ng kaniyang panginoon sa Dios, at dadalhin siya sa pinto, o sa haligi ng pinto; at bubutasan ng kaniyang panginoon ang kaniyang tainga ng isang pangbutas; at paglilingkuran niya siya magpakailan man.

then his master is to take him before the judges. Then he shall have him stand against the door or doorpost and use a metal tool to make a hole in his ear. Then he shall work for his master for life.

7 At kung ipagbili ng isang lalake ang kaniyang anak na babae na maging alipin, ay hindi siya aalis na gaya ng pagalis ng mga aliping lalake.

If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be freed in the same way as male slaves.

8 Kung siya'y hindi makapagpalugod sa kaniyang panginoon, na umayaw magasawa sa kaniya, ay ipatutubos nga niya siya: walang kapangyarihang ipagbili siya sa isang taga ibang lupa, yamang siya'y nadaya.

If the man who chose her for himself is not pleased with her, he must let her be bought back. He is not permitted to sell her to foreigners, since he has been unfair to her.

9 At kung pinapag-asawa ng bumili sa kaniyang anak na lalake, ay kaniyang ipalalagay siya ng ayon sa kaugalian sa mga anak na babae.

If he chooses to give her to his son, he must treat her as a daughter.

10 Kung siya'y magasawa sa iba, ang kaniyang pagkain, ang kaniyang damit at ang kaniyang kapangyarihang pagkaasawa ay hindi niya babawasan.

If he takes another woman, he must not reduce the food and clothing allowances and marital rights of the first.

11 At kung hindi niya gawin ang tatlong bagay na ito sa kaniya ay aalis nga siya na walang bayad, na walang tubos na salapi.

If he doesn't give her these three things, she is free to leave without paying anything.

12 Ang sumakit sa isang tao, na ano pa't mamatay ay papataying walang pagsala.

Anyone who hits and kills someone else must be executed.

13 At kung hindi sinasadya ng isang tao, kundi Dios ang naghulog sa kaniyang kamay; ay lalaanan kita ng isang dako na kaniyang tatakasan.

However, if it wasn't intentional and God let it happen, then I will arrange a place for you where they can run to and be safe.

14 At kung magtangka ang sinoman sa kaniyang kapuwa, na pumatay na may daya, ay alisin mo siya sa aking dambana, upang patayin.

But if someone deliberately plans and purposely kills another, you must take them away from my altar and execute them.

15 At ang sumakit sa kaniyang ama o sa kaniyang ina, ay papataying walang pagsala.

Anyone who hits their father or mother must be executed.

16 At ang magnakaw ng isang tao, at ipagbili, o masumpungan sa kaniyang kamay, ay papataying walang pagsala.

Anyone who kidnaps someone else must be executed, whether the victim is sold or is still in their possessions.

17 At ang lumait sa kaniyang ama, o sa kaniyang ina, ay papataying walang pagsala.

Anyone who despises their father or mother must be executed.

18 At kung may magbabag, at saktan ng isa ang isa, ng bato, o ng kaniyang suntok, at hindi mamatay, kundi mahiga lamang sa banig:

If men are fighting and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist, and the injured man doesn't die but has to stay in bed,

19 Kung makabangon uli, at makalakad sa tulong ng kaniyang tungkod, ay ligtas nga yaong sumakit sa kaniya; pagbabayaran lamang niya ang panahong nasayang, at kaniyang pagagalinging maigi.

and then gets up and walks around outside with his walking stick, then the one who hit him won't be punished, Even so, he must still compensate the man for the time lost from his work and make sure that he's completely healed.

20 At kung saktan ng sinoman ang kaniyang aliping lalake o babae, ng tungkod at mamatay sa kaniyang kamay; ay parurusahan siyang walang pagsala.

Anyone who hits their male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies as a result, must be punished.

21 Gayon ma'y kung tumagal ng isang araw o dalawa, ay hindi siya parurusahan: sapagka't siya'y kaniyang salapi.

However, if after a day or two the slave gets better, the owner won't be punished because the slave is their property.

22 At kung may magbabag, at makasakit ng isang babaing buntis, na ano pa't makunan, at gayon ma'y walang karamdamang sumunod: ay tunay na papagbabayarin siya, ayon sa iatang sa kaniya ng asawa ng babae; at siya'y magbabayad ng ayon sa ipasiya ng mga hukom.

If men who are fighting happen to hit a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely, but no serious injury occurs, he must be fined whatever amount the woman's husband demands and as permitted by the judges.

23 Datapuwa't kung may anomang karamdamang sumunod, magbabayad ka nga ng buhay kung buhay,

But if a serious injury does occur, then you must pay a life for a life,

24 Mata kung mata, ngipin kung ngipin, kamay kung kamay, paa kung paa,

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,

25 Paso kung paso, sugat kung sugat, bugbog kung bugbog.

a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, and a bruise for a bruise.

26 At kung saktan ng sinoman ang mata ng kaniyang aliping lalake, o ang mata ng kaniyang aliping babae at mabulag, ay kaniyang palalayain dahil sa kaniyang mata.

Anyone who hits their male or female slave in the eye and blinds them must free the slave as compensation for the eye.

27 At kung kaniyang bungalan ang kaniyang aliping lalake, o babae, ay kaniyang palalayain dahil sa kaniyang ngipin.

Anyone who knocks out the tooth of their male or female slave must free the slave as compensation for the tooth.

28 At kung ang isang baka ay manuwag ng isang lalake o ng isang babae, na ano pa't mamatay, ay babatuhing walang pagsala ang baka at ang kaniyang lama'y hindi kakanin; datapuwa't ang may-ari ng baka ay maliligtas.

If an ox uses its horns to kill a man or woman, the ox must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox won't be punished.

29 Datapuwa't kung ang baka ay dating manunuwag sa panahong nakaraan, at naisumbong na sa may-ari at hindi niya kinulong, na ano pa't makamatay ng isang lalake, o isang babae: ay babatuhin ang baka at ang may-ari naman ay papatayin.

But if the ox has repeatedly hurt people with its horns, and its owner has been warned but still doesn't keep it under control, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned to death and its owner must also be executed.

30 Kung siya'y atangan ng katubusan ay magbibigay nga siya ng katubusan sa kaniyang buhay anomang iatang sa kaniya.

But if instead the payment of compensation is required, the owner may buy back his or her life by paying the full amount of compensation demanded.

31 Maging manuwag sa isang anak na lalake o babae man, ay gagawin sa kaniya ayon sa kahatulang ito.

If the ox uses its horns and kills a son or a daughter the same rule is applicable.

32 Kung ang baka ay manuwag sa isang aliping lalake o babae, ay magbabayad ang may-ari ng tatlong pung siklong pilak sa kanilang panginoon, at ang baka ay babatuhin.

If the ox uses its horns and kills a male or female slave, the owner of the ox must pay thirty shekels of silver to the slave's master, and the ox must be stoned to death.

33 At kung ang sinoman ay magbubukas ng isang balon, o huhukay ng isang balon at hindi tatakpan, at ang isang baka, o ang isang asno ay mahulog sa loob,

If someone removes the cover of a cistern or digs one and doesn't cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

34 Ay sasaulian ng may-ari ng balon; magbabayad siya ng salapi sa may-ari ng mga yaon, at ang patay na hayop ay magiging kaniya.

the owner of the pit must pay compensation to the animal's owner and keep the dead animal.

35 At kung ang baka ng sinoman ay sumakit sa baka ng iba, na ano pa't mamatay; ay kanila ngang ipagbibili ang bakang buhay, at kanilang paghahatiin ang halaga niyaon; at ang patay ay paghahatiin din nila.

If someone's ox injures another's ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and share money received; they must also share the dead animal.

36 O kung kilala, na ang baka ay dating manunuwag sa panahong nakaraan, at hindi kinulong ng may-ari; ay tunay ngang magbabayad siya, ng baka kung baka, at ang patay na hayop ay magiging kaniyang sarili.

But if it was known that the ox had repeatedly hurt people with its horns, and its owner had been warned but still didn't keep it under control, full compensation must be paid, ox for ox, but the owner can keep the dead animal.”
