2 Mojžišova 21
1 Tito jsou pak soudové, kteréž jim předložíš:
“Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 Jestliže koupíš k službě Žida, šest let sloužiti bude, a sedmého odejde svobodný darmo.
“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3 Přišel-li by sám toliko, sám také odejde; pakli měl ženu, vyjde s ním i žena jeho.
If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 Jestliže pán jeho dá mu ženu, a ona zrodí jemu syny neb dcery: žena ta i děti její budou pána jeho, on pak sám toliko odejde.
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.
5 Pakli by řekl služebník: Miluji pána svého, manželku svou a syny své, nevyjdu svobodný:
But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
6 Tedy postaví ho pán jeho před soudci, a přivede ho ke dveřím neb k veřeji, a probodne pán jeho ucho jemu špicí; i zůstaneť služebníkem jeho na věky.
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 forever.
7 Když by pak prodal někdo dceru svou, aby byla děvkou, nevyjdeť tak, jako vycházejí služebníci.
“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
8 Nelíbila-li by se pánu svému, kterýž jí sobě ještě nezasnoubil, dopustí ji vyplatiti. Lidu cizímu nebude míti práva prodati ji, poněvadž zhřešil proti ní.
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, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 Pakli by synu svému ji zasnoubil, učiníť jí tak, jakž obyčej jest činiti dcerám.
If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 A dal-li by mu jinou, z stravy její, oděvu jejího, a přívětivosti manželské nic této neujme.
If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 Neudělal-li by nic z toho trojího, vyjde darmo bez stříbra.
If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 Kdo by ubil člověka, až by od toho umřel, smrtí umře.
“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 Když by pak neukládal o bezživotí jeho, než Bůh dal by jej v ruce jeho: tedy uložím tobě místo, do něhož by takový mohl uteci.
but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 Pakli by kdo tak pyšně sobě počínal proti bližnímu svému, že by ho lstivě zabil, i od oltáře mého odtrhneš jej, aby umřel.
If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 Kdo by otce svého neb matku svou bil, smrtí ať umře.
“Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 Kdo by pak, ukradna někoho, prodal jej, a nalezen by byl v ruce jeho, smrtí ať umře.
“Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 I ten, kdož by zlořečil otci svému neb mateři své, smrtí ať umře.
“Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 Když by se svadili muži, a urazil by který bližního svého kamenem neb pěstí, a ten by neumřel, než složil se na lůži;
“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;
19 A potom by povstal a chodil vně o holi své: již nebude vinen ten, kdož urazil; toliko co zatím obmeškal, to jemu nahradí, a na vyhojení jeho naloží.
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.
20 Když by pak ubil kdo služebníka svého neb děvku svou kyjem, tak že by umřel mu v ruce jeho: pomstou pomštěno bude nad takovým.
“If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21 A však jestliže by den neb dva přečkal, neponese pomsty, nebo jej zaplatil.
Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 Když by se svadili muži, a urazili ženu těhotnou, tak že by vyšel z ní plod její, však by se zhouba nestala: pokutován bude, jakž by uložil naň muž té ženy, a dá vedlé uznání soudců.
“If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
23 Pakliť by smrt přišla, tedy dáš život za život,
But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24 Oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Spáleninu za spáleninu, ránu za ránu, modřinu za modřinu.
burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 Jestliže by kdo urazil služebníka svého v oko, aneb děvku svou v oko, tak že by jej o ně připravil: svobodného jej propustí za oko jeho.
“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.
27 Pakli by zub služebníku svému neb zub děvce své vyrazil, svobodného jej propustí za zub jeho.
If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 Jestliže by vůl utrkl muže neb ženu, tak že by umřel člověk: ukamenován bude ten vůl, aniž jedeno bude maso jeho, však pán vola toho bez viny bude.
“If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
29 Než byl-liť by vůl trkavý prvé, a bylo by to osvědčeno pánu jeho, on pak nezavřel by ho, a v tom zabil by muže neb ženu: vůl ten ukamenován bude, a pán jeho také umře.
But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this 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.
30 Pakliť mu bude uloženo, aby se vyplatil: tedy dá výplatu za život svůj, jakážkoli na něj uložena bude.
If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 Buď že by syna utrkl, buď dceru, podlé soudu toho stane se jemu.
Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 Jestliže by služebníka vůl ztrkal neb děvku, třidceti lotů stříbra dá pánu jeho, a vůl ten bude ukamenován.
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.
33 Kdyby kdo odhradil studnici, a neb vykopal někdo studnici, a zase jí nepřikryl, a vpadl by tam vůl neb osel:
“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,
34 Pán té studnice nahradí to, a peníze položí pánu jeho, a což se zabilo, to sobě míti bude.
the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
35 A ustrčil-li by vůl něčí vola sousedova, že byl umřel: tedy prodadí vola toho živého, a podělí se penězi jeho; i s zabitým volem také se rozdělí.
“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.
36 Pakli vědíno bylo, že vůl byl trkavý prvé, a nezavřel ho pán jeho: bez výmluvy ať dá vola za vola, a zabitý ať mu zůstane.
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.
