اَلْخُرُوجُ 21

١ 1 «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي تَضَعُ أَمَامَهُمْ:

"Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.

٢ 2 إِذَا ٱشْتَرَيْتَ عَبْدًا عِبْرَانِيًّا، فَسِتَّ سِنِينَ يَخْدِمُ، وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعَةِ يَخْرُجُ حُرًّا مَجَّانًا.

"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

٣ 3 إِنْ دَخَلَ وَحْدَهُ فَوَحْدَهُ يَخْرُجُ. إِنْ كَانَ بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، تَخْرُجُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ مَعَهُ.

If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.

٤ 4 إِنْ أَعْطَاهُ سَيِّدُهُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ بَنِينَ أَوْ بَنَاتٍ، فَٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَأَوْلَادُهَا يَكُونُونَ لِسَيِّدِهِ، وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ وَحْدَهُ.

If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ ٱلْعَبْدُ: أُحِبُّ سَيِّدِي وَٱمْرَأَتِي وَأَوْلَادِي، لَا أَخْرُجُ حُرًّا،

But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'

٦ 6 يُقَدِّمُهُ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَيُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ أَوْ إِلَى ٱلْقَائِمَةِ، وَيَثْقُبُ سَيِّدُهُ أُذْنَهُ بِٱلْمِثْقَبِ، فَيَخْدِمُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

٧ 7 وَإِذَا بَاعَ رَجُلٌ ٱبْنَتَهُ أَمَةً، لَا تَخْرُجُ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْعَبِيدُ.

"If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

٨ 8 إِنْ قَبُحَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْ سَيِّدِهَا ٱلَّذِي خَطَبَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، يَدَعُهَا تُفَكُّ. وَلَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا لِقَوْمٍ أَجَانِبَ لِغَدْرِهِ بِهَا.

If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.

٩ 9 وَإِنْ خَطَبَهَا لِٱبْنِهِ فَبِحَسَبِ حَقِّ ٱلْبَنَاتِ يَفْعَلُ لَهَا.

If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

١٠ 10 إِنِ ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ أُخْرَى، لَا يُنَقِّصُ طَعَامَهَا وَكِسْوَتَهَا وَمُعَاشَرَتَهَا.

If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

١١ 11 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ لَهَا هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَ تَخْرُجُ مَجَّانًا بِلَا ثَمَنٍ.

If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.

١٢ 12 «مَنْ ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانًا فَمَاتَ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

"One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَعَمَّدْ، بَلْ أَوْقَعَ ٱللهُ فِي يَدِهِ، فَأَنَا أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مَكَانًا يَهْرُبُ إِلَيْهِ.

but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

١٤ 14 وَإِذَا بَغَى إِنْسَانٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِغَدْرٍ فَمِنْ عِنْدِ مَذْبَحِي تَأْخُذُهُ لِلْمَوْتِ.

If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

١٥ 15 وَمَنْ ضَرَبَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

١٦ 16 وَمَنْ سَرَقَ إِنْسَانًا وَبَاعَهُ، أَوْ وُجِدَ فِي يَدِهِ، يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

"Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, he shall surely be put to death.

١٧ 17 وَمَنْ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

"Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

١٨ 18 وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلَانِ فَضَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا ٱلْآخَرَ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ بِلَكْمَةٍ وَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ بَلْ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ،

"If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;

١٩ 19 فَإِنْ قَامَ وَتَمَشَّى خَارِجًا عَلَى عُكَّازِهِ يَكُونُ ٱلضَّارِبُ بَرِيئًا. إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُعَوِّضُ عُطْلَتَهُ، وَيُنْفِقُ عَلَى شِفَائِهِ.

if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

٢٠ 20 وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ أَمَتَهُ بِٱلْعَصَا فَمَاتَ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ.

"If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a staff, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

٢١ 21 لَكِنْ إِنْ بَقِيَ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ لَا يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ لِأَنَّهُ مَالُهُ.

Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.

٢٢ 22 وَإِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رِجَالٌ وَصَدَمُوا ٱمْرَأَةً حُبْلَى فَسَقَطَ وَلَدُهَا وَلَمْ تَحْصُلْ أَذِيَّةٌ، يُغَرَّمُ كَمَا يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَيَدْفَعُ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْقُضَاةِ.

"If men fight and strike a pregnant woman so that her child is born prematurely, but there is no injury, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

٢٣ 23 وَإِنْ حَصَلَتْ أَذِيَّةٌ تُعْطِي نَفْسًا بِنَفْسٍ،

But if there is injury, then you must take life for life,

٢٤ 24 وَعَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ، وَسِنًّا بِسِنٍّ، وَيَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَرِجْلًا بِرِجْلٍ،

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

٢٥ 25 وَكَيًّا بِكَيٍّ، وَجُرْحًا بِجُرْحٍ، وَرَضًّا بِرَضٍّ.

burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.

٢٦ 26 وَإِذَا ضَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ عَيْنَ عَبْدِهِ، أَوْ عَيْنَ أَمَتِهِ فَأَتْلَفَهَا، يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ عَيْنِهِ.

"If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

٢٧ 27 وَإِنْ أَسْقَطَ سِنَّ عَبْدِهِ أَوْ سِنَّ أَمَتِهِ يُطْلِقُهُ حُرًّا عِوَضًا عَنْ سِنِّهِ.

If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

٢٨ 28 «وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرٌ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ، يُرْجَمُ ٱلثَّوْرُ وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ. وَأَمَّا صَاحِبُ ٱلثَّوْرِ فَيَكُونُ بَرِيئًا.

"If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

٢٩ 29 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ثَوْرًا نَطَّاحًا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَقَدْ أُشْهِدَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ، فَقَتَلَ رَجُلًا أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً، فَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ وَصَاحِبُهُ أَيْضًا يُقْتَلُ.

But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

٣٠ 30 إِنْ وُضِعَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِدْيَةٌ، يَدْفَعُ فِدَاءَ نَفْسِهِ كُلُّ مَا يُوضَعُ عَلَيْهِ.

If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.

٣١ 31 أَوْ إِذَا نَطَحَ ٱبْنًا أَوْ نَطَحَ ٱبْنَةً فَبِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْحُكْمِ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ.

Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

٣٢ 32 إِنْ نَطَحَ ٱلثَّوْرُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً، يُعْطِي سَيِّدَهُ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلثَّوْرُ يُرْجَمُ.

If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

٣٣ 33 وَإِذَا فَتَحَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا، أَوْحَفَرَ إِنْسَانٌ بِئْرًا وَلَمْ يُغَطِّهِ، فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ ثَوْرٌ أَوْ حِمَارٌ،

"If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

٣٤ 34 فَصَاحِبُ ٱلْبِئْرِ يُعَوِّضُ وَيَرُدُّ فِضَّةً لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ.

the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

٣٥ 35 وَإِذَا نَطَحَ ثَوْرُ إِنْسَانٍ ثَوْرَ صَاحِبِهِ فَمَاتَ، يَبِيعَانِ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْحَيَّ وَيَقْتَسِمَانِ ثَمَنَهُ. وَٱلْمَيْتُ أَيْضًا يَقْتَسِمَانِهِ.

"If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.

٣٦ 36 لَكِنْ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ ثَوْرٌ نَطَّاحٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ صَاحِبُهُ، يُعَوِّضُ عَنِ ٱلثَّوْرِ بِثَوْرٍ، وَٱلْمَيْتُ يَكُونُ لَهُ.

Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
