Misir'Dan Çikiş 21
1 “İsrailliler'e şu ilkeleri bildir:
“Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
2 “İbrani bir köle satın alırsan, altı yıl kölelik edecek, ama yedinci yıl karşılık ödemeden özgür olacak.
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 Bekâr geldiyse, yalnız kendisi özgür olacak; evli geldiyse, karısı da özgür olacak.
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 Efendisi kendisine bir kadın verir ve o kadından çocukları olursa, kadın ve çocuklar efendisinde kalacak, yalnız kendisi gidecek.
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 “Ama köle açıkça, ‘Ben efendimi, karımla çocuklarımı seviyorum, özgür olmak istemiyorum’ derse,
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 efendisi onu yargıç huzuruna çıkaracak. Kapıya ya da kapı sövesine yaklaştırıp kulağını bizle delecek. Böylece köle yaşam boyu efendisine hizmet edecek.
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 “Eğer bir adam kızını cariye olarak satarsa, kız erkek köleler gibi özgür bırakılmayacak.
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 Efendisi kızla nişanlanır, sonra kızdan hoşlanmazsa, kızın geri alınmasına izin vermelidir. Kızı aldattığı için onu yabancılara satamaz.
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 Eğer cariyeyi oğluna nişanlarsa, ona kendi kızı gibi davranmalıdır.
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 Eğer ikinci bir kadınla evlenirse, ilk karısını nafakadan, giysiden, karılık haklarından yoksun bırakmamalıdır.
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 Eğer bu üç hakkı ona vermezse, kadın karşılıksız özgür olacaktır.”
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 “Kim birini vurup öldürürse, kendisi de kesinlikle öldürülecektir.
You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
13 Ama olayda kasıt yoksa, ona ben izin vermişsem, size adamın kaçacağı yeri bildireceğim.
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 Eğer bir adam komşusuna düzen kurar, kasıtlı olarak saldırıp onu öldürürse, sunağıma bile kaçmış olsa, onu çıkarıp öldüreceksiniz.
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 “Kim annesini ya da babasını döverse, kesinlikle öldürülecektir.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
16 “Kim adam kaçırırsa, onu ister satmış olsun, ister elinde tutsun, kesinlikle öldürülecektir.
Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
17 “Annesine ya da babasına lanet eden kesinlikle öldürülecektir.
Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
18 “Kavga çıkar, bir adam komşusuna taşla ya da yumrukla vurur, vurulan adam ölmeyip yatağa düşer,
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 sonra kalkıp değnekle dışarıda gezebilirse, vuran adam suçsuz sayılacaktır. Yalnız yaralının kaybettiği zamanın karşılığını ödeyecek ve tümüyle iyileşmesini sağlayacaktır.
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 “Bir adam erkek ya da kadın kölesini değnekle döverken öldürürse, kesinlikle cezalandırılacaktır.
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 Ama köle hemen ölmez, bir iki gün sonra ölürse, köle sahibi ceza görmeyecektir. Çünkü köle onun malı sayılır.
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 “İki kişi kavga ederken gebe bir kadına çarpar, kadın erken doğum yapar ama başka bir zarar görmezse, saldırgan, kadının kocasının istediği ve yargıçların onayladığı miktarda para cezasına çarptırılacaktır.
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 Ama başka bir zarar varsa, cana karşılık can, göze karşılık göz, dişe karşılık diş, ele karşılık el, ayağa karşılık ayak, yanığa karşılık yanık, yaraya karşılık yara, bereye karşılık bere ödenecektir.
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.
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.
26 “Bir adam erkek ya da kadın kölesini gözüne vurarak kör ederse, gözüne karşılık onu özgür bırakacaktır.
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 Eğer erkek ya da kadın kölesinin dişini kırarsa, dişine karşılık onu özgür bırakacaktır.”
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 “Eğer bir boğa bir erkeği ya da kadını boynuzuyla vurup öldürürse, kesinlikle taşlanacak ve eti yenmeyecektir. Boğanın sahibi ise suçsuz sayılacaktır.
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 Ama saldırganlığı bilinen bir boğanın sahibi uyarılmasına karşın boğasına sahip çıkmazsa ve boğası bir erkeği ya da kadını öldürürse, hem boğa taşlanacak, hem de sahibi öldürülecektir.
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 Ancak, boğanın sahibinden para cezası istenirse, istenen miktarı ödeyerek canını kurtarabilir.
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 Boğa ister erkek, ister kız çocuğunu öldürsün, aynı kural uygulanacaktır.
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 Eğer boğa bir erkek ya da kadın köleyi öldürürse, kölenin efendisine otuz şekel gümüş verilecek ve boğa taşlanacaktır.
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 “Bir adam bir çukur açar ya da kazdığı çukurun üzerini örtmezse ve çukura bir boğa ya da bir eşek düşerse,
Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
34 çukuru kazan hayvanın bedelini ödeyecektir. Parayı hayvanın sahibine verecek, ölü hayvan kendisinin olacaktır.
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 “Bir adamın boğası komşusunun boğasını yaralar, yaralı boğa ölürse, sağ boğayı satıp parasını paylaşacak, ölü hayvanı da bölüşeceklerdir.
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 Eğer boğanın saldırgan olduğu ve sahibinin ona sahip çıkmadığı biliniyorsa, boğaya karşılık boğa verecek ve ölü hayvan kendisine kalacaktır.”
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].”
