Exodus 21
1 And these [are] the judgments which you set before them:
Te phoeiah laitloeknah he amih mikhmuh ah khueh pah.
2 When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman for nothing;
Hebrew sal te na lai atah kum rhuk thotat saeh lamtah kum rhih hlang dongah tah sayalh la cet yungyi saeh.
3 if he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone out with him;
Amah bueng hoengpoek la ha pawk atah amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh. A yuu a va a om atah a yuu khaw amah neh cet saeh.
4 if his lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes out by himself.
A boei loh anih te yuu a paek tih anih ham canu capa a sak atah a yuu neh a ca tah a boei kah ni. Tedae amah te amah bueng hoengpoek la cet saeh.
5 And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out free,
Tedae sal loh, “Ka boei ka lungnah tih ka yuu neh ka ca he sayalh la ka coe tak mahpawh a ti khaw a ti khaming.
6 then his lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time.
Te vaengah anih te a boei loh Pathen mikhmuh la khuen saeh lamtah thohkhaih taeng neh rhungsut taengla thoeih saeh. Te vaengah a boei loh a hna te ciphuem neh vueh pah saeh kumhal ham anih taengah thotat saeh.
7 And when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;
Te phoeiah hlang loh a canu te sal la a yoih atah, sal tongpa a caeh bangla cet mahpawh.
8 if [it is] evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he has not betrothed her, then he has let her be ransomed; he has no power to sell her to a strange people, in his dealing treacherously with her.
A boei mik ah a thae atah anih te amah ham tuentah saeh lamtah lat saeh. Salnu taengah a hnukpoh coeng dongah salnu te kholong pilnam taengla yoih ham taemrhai boel saeh.
9 And if he betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right of daughters.
Salnu te a capa ham a tuentah coeng atah anih te amah canu kah hamsum bangla saii pah saeh.
10 If he takes another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;
Amah ham te a tloe a loh atah, salnu kah a maeh, a himbai neh a hutakoe te hnop pah boel saeh.
11 and if he does not do these three for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.
He pathum he anih ham a saii pah pawt atah, tangka mueh la cet yungyi pawn saeh.
12 He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly put to death;
Hlang a boh tih a duek atah amah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
13 as for him who has not laid wait, but God has brought [him] to his hand, I have even set a place for you to where he flees.
Anih loh rhaem ngawn pawt dae Pathen loh anih kut ah a rhul sak oeh atah nang ham hmuen ka khueh vetih te lam te rhaelrham bitni.
14 And when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.
Tedae hlang loh a hui te ngawn ham taengnah neh a lokhak atah anih te ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh khuen lamtah duek saeh.
15 And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
A manu a napa aka taam khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
16 And he who steals a man, and has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
Hlang aka huen neh te te a yoih vaengah a kut ah a hmuh pah khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
A manu a napa aka tap khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
18 And when men contend, and a man has struck his neighbor with a stone, or with the fist, and he does not die, but has fallen on the bed;
Hlang rhoi te oelh uh rhoi tih hlang pakhat loh a hui te lungto neh, kuthluem neh a thuk dae duek pawt tih thingkong dongah a yalh atah,
19 if he rises, and has gone up and down outside on his staff, then the striker has been acquitted; he only gives [for] his cessation, and he is thoroughly healed.
thoo tih poeng ah a conghol neh a pongpa atah anih aka ngawn te hmil mai saeh. A bipoei phu tah pae saeh lamtah hoeih rhoe hoeih sak saeh.
20 And when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;
Hlang loh a salpa neh a salnu te conghol neh a taam tih a kut hmuiah a duek atah a phuloh ham te a phulo kuekluek saeh.
21 only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
Tedae hnin hnih hnin at neh a thoh atah anih te amah tangka coeng dongah phulo boel saeh.
22 And when men strive, and have struck a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no harm [to them], he is certainly fined as the husband of the woman lays on him, and he has given through the judges;
Hlang a hnueih vaengah huta bungvawn te a si tih a ca te thoeng mai ni. Tedae yoethae puei pawt cakhaw huta kah a va amah lamloh a hoe te tah sah rhoe sah saeh. Tedae rhokhan tarhing la pae saeh.
23 and if there is harm [to them], then you have given life for life,
Tedae yoethae a puei atah hinglu ham te hinglu na paek van ni.
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mik yueng mik, no yueng no, kut yueng kut, kho yueng ah kho,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Hmai-ung yueng hmai-ung, tloh yueng tloh, boengha yueng boengha van saeh.
26 And when a man strikes the eye of his manservant, or the eye of his handmaid, and has destroyed it, he sends him away as a freeman for his eye;
Hlang loh a salpa mik a salnu mik te a ngawn pah tih a rhawp sak atah a mik yueng te sayalh la hlah saeh.
27 and if he knocks out a tooth of his manservant or a tooth of his handmaid, he sends him away as a freeman for his tooth.
A salpa no neh a salnu no te a hom sak atah a no yueng anih te sayalh la hlah saeh.
28 And when an ox gores man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
Vaito loh tongpa khaw, huta khaw a thoeh tih a duek atah vaito te dae rhoe dae saeh lamtah a saa te ca boel saeh. Tedae vaito kungmah tah ommongsitoe ngawn saeh.
29 and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and it has been testified to its owner, and he does not watch it, and it has put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner is also put to death.
Tedae vaito te hlaem hlavai ah khaw a toh noek dongah a kungmah te a rhalrhing sak lalah ngaithuen pawt tih tongpa khaw huta khaw a duek sak atah vaito te dae saeh lamtah a kungmah khaw duek saeh.
30 If atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on him;
Anih taengah tlansum a suk atah te lamloh a hoe boeih te a hinglu kah tlansum pae van saeh.
31 whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
Capa a thoeh akhaw canu khaw a thoeh akhaw hekah laitloeknah bangla a taengah saii saeh.
32 If the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is stoned.
Vaito loh salpa khaw, sal huta khaw a thoeh atah a boei te tangka shekel sawmthum pae saeh lamtah vaito te dae saeh.
33 And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—
Hlang loh tangrhom khaw a ong tih hlang loh rhom khaw a vueh vaengah te te muek pawt tih vaito khaw laak khaw a cungku atah,
34 the owner of the pit repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.
Tangrhom kungmah loh thuung saeh lamtah a boei te tangka la mael saeh. Tedae aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
35 And when a man’s ox strikes the ox of his neighbor and it has died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and they also halve the dead one;
Hlang pakhat kah vaito loh a hui kah vaito te a si tih a duek atah vaito hing te yoi rhoi saeh lamtah a tangka te tael uh rhoi saeh. Te phoeiah aka duek te khaw tael uh rhoi saeh.
36 or, [if] it has been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and its owner does not watch it, he certainly repays ox for ox, and the dead is his.
Tedae hlaem hlavai ah khaw vaito kah a toh noek te a ming lalah a kungmah loh te te a khoem pawt atah vaito yueng te vaito neh thuung rhoe thuung saeh lamtah aka duek te anih hut la om saeh.
