Eksodo 21
1 “Uwawuze Aisraeli malamulo awa:
These ben the domes, whiche thou schalt sette forth to hem.
2 “Mukagula kapolo wa Chihebri, azikugwirirani ntchito zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi. Koma mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chiwiri muzimumasula, ndipo asalipire kanthu.
If thou biest an Ebrew seruaunt, he schal serue thee sixe yeer; in the seuenthe yeer he schal go out fre,
3 Ngati anabwera yekha, amasulidwenso yekha. Koma ngati anali ndi mkazi pamene ankabwera, mkaziyo apite nayenso.
with out prijs; with what maner clooth he entride, with siche clooth go he out; if he entride hauynge a wijf, and the wijf schal go out to gidere.
4 Ngati bwana wake amupatsa mkazi ndipo mkaziyo anabereka ana aamuna kapena aakazi, mkazi ndi anawo adzakhala a bwanayo ndipo mwamuna yekhayo ndiye adzamasulidwe.
But if the lord of the servaunt yaf a wijf to hym, and sche childide sones and douytris, the womman and hir children schulen be hir lordis; sotheli the seruaunt schal go out with his owne clooth.
5 “Koma ngati kapoloyo alengeza kuti, ‘Ine sindikufuna kumasulidwa chifukwa ndimakonda mbuye wanga, mkazi wanga ndi ana,’
That if the seruaunt seith, Y loue my lord, and wijf, and children, Y schal not go out fre;
6 mbuye wakeyo abwere naye kwa Yehova. Abwere naye pa chitseko kapena pa mphuthu zachitseko ndipo abowole khutu lake ndi chitsulo. Ndipo iye adzakhala kapolo wake moyo wake wonse.
the lord brynge hym to goddis, that is, iugis; and he schal be set to the dore, and postis; and the lord schal perse his eere with a nal, and he schal be seruaunt to hym til in to the world.
7 “Ngati munthu agulitsa mwana wake wamkazi kukhala mdzakazi, mwanayo asamasulidwe monga achitira ndi akapolo aamuna.
If ony man sillith his douyter in to seruauntesse, sche schal not go out as handmaidis weren wont to go out;
8 Koma ngati mkaziyo sakukondweretsa bwana wake amene wamusankha kuti amukwatire, amulole kuti awomboledwe. Bwanayo alibe mphamvu zomugulitsa kwa anthu achilendo, chifukwa iyeyo waphwanya pangano lake lomukwatira iye.
if sche displesith in the iyen of hir lord, to whom sche was bitakun, he schal delyuere hir; sotheli he schal not haue power to sille hir to an alien puple, if he forsakith hir.
9 Ngati anamusankha kuti akhale mkazi wa mwana wake, ayenera kumusunga ngati mwana wake wamkazi.
Forsothe if he weddith hir to his sonne, he schal do to hir `bi the custom of douytris;
10 Ngati akwatira mkazi wina, asamumane woyambayo chakudya ngakhale chovala ndipo apiritirize kugona naye ngati mkazi wake.
that if he takith another womman to hym, he schal puruey to the damysele weddingis, and clothis, and he schal not denye the prijs of chastite.
11 Koma ngati sangathe kumuchitira zonsezi, ndiye amuleke apite popanda kulipira kanthu.
If he doith not these thre, sche schal go out freli without money.
12 “Munthu aliyense amene amenya mnzake namupha, iyenso ayenera kuphedwa.
He that smytith a man, and wole sle, die bi deeth;
13 Koma ngati sanachite dala, ndipo Mulungu analola kuti zichitike, iyeyo athawire ku malo kumene ndidzakupatsani.
forsothe if a man settide not aspies, but God `bitook hym in to hise hondis, Y schal ordeyne a place to thee, whidur he owith to fle.
14 Koma ngati munthu akonza chiwembu ndi kupha mnzake mwadala, ameneyo muchotseni ngakhale ku guwa langa lansembe ndipo aphedwe.
If ony man sleeth his neiybore bi biforecastyng, and bi aspies, drawe thou hym awey fro myn auter, that he die.
15 “Munthu aliyense amene amenya abambo ake kapena mayi ake ayenera kuphedwa.
He that smytith his fadir, ether modir, die by deeth.
16 “Munthu aliyense amene aba munthu mnzake, ndi kukamugulitsa, kapena kumangomusunga, ayenera kuphedwa.
He that cursith his fadir, ether modir, die bi deeth.
17 “Aliyense amene atemberera abambo ake kapena amayi ake ayenera kuphedwa.
He that stelith a man, and sillith hym, if he is conuyt of the gilt, die bi deeth.
18 “Ngati anthu awiri akangana ndipo wina amenya mnzake ndi mwala kapena nkhonya koma wosamupha, womenyedwayo akadwala nagona pa bedi,
If men chiden, and the tother smyte his neiybore with a stoon, ether with the fist, and he is not deed, but liggith in the bed,
19 kenaka nachira ndi kuyamba kuyenda ndi ndodo kutuluka kunja kwa nyumba yake, ndiye kuti womenya mnzakeyo sadzayimbidwa mlandu. Komabe adzayenera kulipira womenyedwayo chifukwa cha nthawi imene anagona pa bedi ija, ndiponso ayenera kumusala mpaka atachiritsitsa.
if he risith, and goith forth on his staf, he that smoot schal be innocent; so netheles that he restore hise trauelis, and costis in lechis.
20 “Ngati munthu amenya kapolo wake wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi ndi ndodo, kapolo uja ndikufa chifukwa cha kumenyedwako, munthuyo ayenera kulangidwa.
He that smytith his seruaunt, ether handmayde, with a yerde, and thei ben deed in hise hondis, schal be gilti of cryme.
21 Koma ngati kapolo uja akhala ndi moyo tsiku lonse kapena masiku awiri, ndiye kuti mbuye uja asalangidwe chifukwa kapolo ndi chuma chake.
Sotheli if the seruaunt ouerlyueth o dai, ether tweyne, he schal not be suget to peyne, `that is of deeth, for the seruaunt is his catel.
22 “Ngati anthu akumenyana ndi kupweteka mayi woyembekezera, mayiyo napita padera, koma osavulala, wolakwayo ayenera kulipira chilichonse chimene mwamuna wake wa mkaziyo adzalamula ndipo bwalo lamilandu lavomereza.
If men chiden, and a man smytith a womman with childe, and sotheli makith the child deed borun, but the womman ouerlyueth, he schal be suget to the harm, as myche as the `hosebonde of the womman axith, and the iugis demen.
23 Koma ngati wavulazidwa kwambiri, ndiye malipiro ake adzakhala motere: moyo kulipa moyo,
But if the deeth of hir sueth,
24 diso kulipira diso, dzino kulipira dzino, mkono kulipa mkono, phazi kulipa phazi.
he schal yelde lijf for lijf, iye for iye, tooth for tooth, hond for hond, foot for foot,
25 Kutentha ndi moto kulipa kutentha ndi moto, bala kulipa bala, mkwingwirima kulipa mkwingwirima.
brennyng for brennyng, wounde `with schedyng of blood for wounde `with schedyng of blood, `a wan wounde for a wan wounde.
26 “Ngati munthu amenya wantchito wake wa mwamuna kapena mdzakazi wake pa diso ndi kuliwononga, wantchitoyo amasulidwe ngati malipiro a diso lake.
If a man smytith the iye of his seruaunt, ethir of handmaide, and makith hem oon iyed, he schal delyuere hem fre for `the iye which he puttide out.
27 Ndipo ngati agulula dzino la wantchito wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi, wantchitoyo amasulidwe ngati malipiro a dzino lake.
Also if he smytith out a tooth fro his seruaunt, ethir handmaide, in lijk maner he schal delyuere hem fre.
28 “Ngati ngʼombe ipha munthu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi ndi nyanga yake, iponyedwe miyala ndipo nyama yake isadyedwe. Ndipo mwini ngʼombeyo asayimbidwe mlandu.
If an oxe smytith with horn a man, ether a womman, and thei ben deed, the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus, and hise fleischis schulen not be etun, and the lord of the oxe schal be innocent.
29 Koma ngati ngʼombeyo inali ndi chizolowezi chogunda anthu ndipo mwini wakeyo anachenjezedwa koma iye sanayimange ndipo yapha mwamuna kapena mkazi, ngʼombeyo iponyedwe miyala ndipo mwini wakeyo aphedwenso.
That if the oxe was `a pultere with horn fro yisterdai and the thridde dai ago, and men warneden `the lord of hym, nether the lord closide hym, and he sleeth a man, ethir womman, bothe the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus, and thei schulen sle `the lord of hym;
30 Koma ngati wauzidwa kuti alipire, iye apereke zimene wauzidwazo kuti awombole moyo wake.
that if prijs is put to the lord, he schal yyue for his lijf what euer he is axide.
31 Lamulo ili ligwirenso ntchito ngati ngʼombeyo yagunda mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi.
And if he smytith with horn a son, and a douytir, he schal be suget to lijk sentence.
32 Ngati ngʼombeyo yagunda kapolo wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi, mwini ngʼombeyo apereke masekeli makumi atatu a siliva kwa mwini kapoloyo, ndipo ngʼombeyo iponyedwe miyala.
If the oxe asailith a seruaunt, and handmaide, the lord of the oxe schal yyue thretti siclis of siluer to `his lord; forsothe the oxe schal be oppressid with stoonus.
33 “Munthu akasiya dzenje lapululu kapena akakumba dzenje koma wosaphimbapo, ndipo ngʼombe kapena bulu nʼkugweramo,
If ony man openeth a cisterne, and diggith, and hilith it not, and an oxe ether asse fallith in to it,
34 mwini dzenjelo amulipire mwini chiweto chakufacho koma iye atenge chiwetocho.
the lord of the cisterne schal yelde the prijs of the werk beestis; forsothe that that is deed schal be his.
35 “Ngati ngʼombe ya munthu wina ipha ngʼombe ya mnzake, ngʼombe yamoyo ija igulitsidwe ndipo anthu awiriwo agawane pakati ndalama yake. Achite chimodzimodzi ndi ngʼombe yakufa ija.
If another mannus oxe woundith the oxe of another man, and he is deed, thei schulen sille the quyke oxe, and thei schulen departe the prijs; forsothe thei schulen departe bitwixe hem the karkeis of the deed oxe.
36 Koma zikadziwika kuti ngʼombeyo inali ndi khalidwe logunda, ndipo mwini wake samayitsekera mʼkhola, mwini ngʼombeyo alipire ngʼombe ina yamoyo koma atenge yakufayo.”
Forsothe if his lord wiste, that the oxe was a puttere fro yistirdai and the thridde dai ago, and kepte not him, he schal yelde oxe for oxe, and he schal take the hool carkeys.
