Exodus 21
1 “Sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel:
Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 Kom fin moli sie mukul Hebrew in sie mwet kohs lom, el ac orekma nu sum ke yac onkosr. Ke yac se akitkosr, kom fah aksukosokyalla ac el tia enenu in moli kutena ma nu sum.
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 El fin tia mwet payuk se ke el mutawauk in kulansap nu sum, el fah tia eis mutan kial welul ke pacl se el ac som. Tusruktu el fin payuk tari ke pacl se el mutawauk in kulansupwekom, el ku in us mutan kial welul.
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 Mwet kacto lal fin sang sie mutan kial ac mutan sac el oswela wen ku acn, na mutan sac ac tulik natul eltal ma na lun mwet kacto lal, na mukul sac fah mukena som.
If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
5 Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin akkalemye lah el lungse mwet kacto lal ac mutan kial ac tulik natul, ac el tia lungse in sukosokla
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 na mwet kacto lal uh fah usal som nu ke nien alu nu sin God. El ac fah oru tuh mwet kohs sac in tu ke srungul uh ku ke sukan srungul uh, ac putala sie pat ah ke insracl. Na mukul sac fah mwet kohs lal ke lusenna moul lal.
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
7 Sie mukul fin kukakin acn natul tuh elan sie mutan kohs, mutan sac fah tia ku in aksukosokyeyuk oana mukul kohs uh.
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 El fin kukakinyukla nu sin sie mukul su nunku mu el ac payuk sel, a tok el tia insewowo sel, na mukul sac el fah sifilpa kukakunulang nu sin papa tumal. El tia ku in kukakunulla nu sin mwetsac, mweyen mwet kacto sac el tuh tia akfalye wulela lal.
If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Sie mukul fin moli sie mutan kohs in sang nu sin wen natul, el enenu in oru nu sel oana sie acn natul.
And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 Mukul se fin eis sie mutan tuh in mutan akluo kial, el tia enenu in aksrikyela ma el sang nu sin mutan se meet kial ke mwe mongo, nuknuk, ac suwohs lun payuk lal.
If he take him another [wife; ] her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 Mukul sac el fin tia akfalye ma tolu inge nu sin mutan se meet ah, el enenu in fuhlella elan sukosokla, ac tia eis kutena mwe moul.
And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12 “Kutena mwet su puokya sie mwet ac unilya, el ac fah anwuki.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13 Tusruktu fin ma ongla ouiya se, ac tia ma el oru in unilya se, el ku in kaingla nu yen se su nga fah fahkak nu sum, ac el fah ku in muta in misla we.
And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 Tusruktu mwet se fin foloyak ac uniya sie pac mwet ke el oru na in oaya, na in anwuki el, el finne kaing nwe ke loang luk in molella.
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15 “Kutena mwet su puokya papa tumal ku nina kial fah anwuki.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 “Kutena mwet su pisrala sie mwet, finne in kukakunulla ku in sruokilya tuh elan mwet kohs se lal, el ac fah anwuki.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 “Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial, el ac fah anwuki.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 “Fin oasr sie alein ac sie mwet ah srukak eot se tukya mwet se ngia ku fiskilya, ac mwet sac tiana misa a el oanna maskin,
And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth [his] bed:
19 na ac wangin mwatan mwet se ma oru ah. Tok ke mwet mas sac tukakek ac fahsr likinuma ke sikal lal, na mwet se ma puokilya ah enenu in moli ke pacl el sisla in mas lal, ac liyalang nwe ke el kwela.
If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
20 “Sie mwet kacto fin srukak sak soko ac uni mwet kohs lal, mukul ku mutan, ac mwet kohs sac misa na in sac, enenu na in oasr kai nu sin mwet kacto sac.
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 Tusruktu mwet kohs sac fin tia misa ke len se ku luo, mwet kacto sac tia enenu in kaiyuk, mweyen mwet kohs sac el oaoa in sie kufwen mwe orekma lun mwet kacto sac.
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he [is] his money.
22 “Fin oasr mwet anwuk twe sun sie mutan pitutu, oru tulik natul putatla tusruk wangin pac acn musalla ke mutan sac, mwet se ma pwanang ma sikyak nu sel fah moli lupa se na ma mukul tumal el pakiya, fin akkeyeyukla sin mwet nununku.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
23 Tuh mutan sac fin oasr pac acn musalla kacl, kaiyuk nu kac uh pa moul molin moul,
And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, po molin po, nia molin nia,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 folla molin folla, kinet molin kinet, futun molin futun.
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 “Sie mwet kacto fin fiskiya atronmutun mukul ku mutan kohs lal ac pusisla, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokyela mwet kohs sac in sang moli atronmutal.
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 Sie mwet kacto fin fuskela soko wihsen mwet kol lal, mwet kacto sac fah aksukosokye mwet kohs sac in sang moli wihs soko ah.
And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 “Soko cow mukul fin fakisya sie mwet in misa, cow soko enenu in tatngal nwe ke misa, ac ikwal ac tia mongo, ac mwet se natu ah fah tia kaiyuk.
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] quit.
29 Tusruk cow mukul soko ah fin pahlana in fakfuk mwet, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet se natu ah a el tiana kalilya in kalkal — na cow soko ah fin fakisya mwet se in misa, el ac fah tungalyuk nwe ke el misa, ac mwet se natu fah anwuki pac.
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 Tusruktu, fin wotyang nu sin mwet se natu ah sie lupan mani elan moli in molela moul lal, na el enenu in molela nufonna lupa sac.
If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Cow mukul soko uh fin uniya tulik mukul se ku tulik mutan se, ma sap sacna pa ac orekmakinyuk nu kac.
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
32 Cow mukul soko ah fin uniya sie mwet kohs, mukul ku mutan, mwet se natu cow soko ah fah moli nu sin mwet se la mwet kohs sac ke ipin silver tolngoul, ac cow soko ah fah tatngal nwe ke misa.
If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 “Mwet se fin eisla afyuf ke sie luf, ku el fin pikin sie luf ac tia afinya, ac soko cow mukul ku soko donkey putatyang nu loac,
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34 el enenu in moli kosro soko ah. El ac fah moli nu sin mwet se natu, ac kosro misa soko ah fah ma lal.
The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give money unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.
35 Fin cow mukul soko nutin mwet se uniya cow mukul soko nutin siena mwet, mukul luo ac fah kukakunla cow soko ma moul ah, ac kitalik mani sac. Eltal fah kitalik pac ikwen cow mukul misa soko ah.
And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead [ox] also they shall divide.
36 Tusruktu fin eteyuk lah cow mukul soko inge lungsena anwuk, ac mwet se natu ah tiana kalsalak, el enenu in sang soko cow mukul ma moul in akfalye nu sin mwet se natu cow soko ma misa ah.
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
