Exodus 21
1 “These are the judgments which you shall place before them:
“अब तैँले तिनीहरूका सामु राख्ने आदेशहरू यी नै हुन्:
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you; in the seventh, he shall depart freely, without charge.
तिमीहरूले हिब्रू कमारा किन्यौ भने त्यसले छ वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नुपर्छ, र सातौँ वर्षमा केही नतिरी त्यो मुक्त हुनेछ ।
3 With whatever clothing he arrived, with the like let him depart. If he has a wife, his wife also shall depart, at the same time.
त्यो एक्लै आएको हो भने त्यो एक्लै जाओस् । त्यो विवाहित हो भने त्यो आफ्नी पत्नीसँगै जाओस् ।
4 But if his lord gave him a wife, and she has borne sons and daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her lord. Yet still, he himself will go out with his clothing.
त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई पत्नी दिएका भए र त्यसले पतिको निम्ति छोराछोरीहरू जन्माएकी भए पत्नी र त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू मालिकको हुनेछन्, तर पतिचाहिँ मुक्त हुनेछ ।
5 And if the servant will say, ‘I love my lord, and my wife and children, I will not depart freely,’
तर कमाराले सफासँग “म मेरा मालिक, मेरी पत्नी र मेरा छोराछोरीलाई प्रेम गर्छु; म मुक्त भएर जान्नँ”
6 then his lord shall make an offering for him to the heavens, and it shall be applied to the door and the posts, and he will pierce his ear with an awl. And he shall be his servant in perpetuity.
भन्यो भने त्यसका मालिकले त्यसलाई परमेश्वरको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ । मालिकले त्यसलाई ढोका वा ढोकाको सङ्घारमा ल्याई त्यसको कान सुतारोले छेडिदिनुपर्छ । तब त्यस कमाराले जीवनभर मालिकको सेवा गर्नेछ ।
7 If anyone sells his daughter to be a servant, she shall not depart as a female servant is accustomed to go out.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नी छोरीलाई कमारीको रूपमा बेच्यो भने कमाराहरूजस्तै त्यो मुक्त भएर जानुहुँदैन ।
8 If she displeases the eyes of her lord, to whom she had been delivered, he shall dismiss her. But he shall have no authority to sell her to a foreign people, even if he despises her.
त्यसले आफ्ना मालिकलाई खुसी पारिन भने त्यसलाई मोल तिरेर छुटाइयोस् । त्यसलाई परदेशीकहाँ बेच्ने अधिकार मालिकलाई हुँदैन । मालिकले त्यसलाई छलपूर्वक व्यवहार गरेकोले त्योसित त्यस्तो अधिकार हुँदैन ।
9 But if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall treat her according to the custom with daughters.
मालिकले त्यसलाई आफ्नो छोरोकी पत्नी हुन दियो भने त्यसलाई आफ्नी छोरीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गरोस् ।
10 And if he takes another for him, he shall provide to the maiden a marriage, and clothing, and he shall not refuse the price of her chastity.
त्यसले आफ्नो लागि अर्की पत्नी ल्यायो भने त्यसले खानेकुरा, लुगाफाटा वा त्यसका वैवाहिक अधिकारहरू पुरा गर्नबाट नचुकोस् ।
11 If he does not do these three things, she shall depart freely, without money.
तर त्यसले पत्नीलाई यी तिनवटा कुरा उपलब्ध गराएन भने दाम नतिरीकनै त्यो मुक्त भएर जान सक्छे ।
12 Whoever strikes a man, intending to murder, shall be put to death.
कसैले कुनै मानिसलाई मर्ने गरी हिर्कायो भने त्यसलाई निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
13 But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands, then I will appoint for you a place to which he must flee.
त्यसले जानाजानी यसो नगरी भवितव्य पर्न गएको रहेछ भने म त्यो भागेर जान सक्ने ठाउँ तोकिदिनेछु ।
14 If someone murders his neighbor with deliberation, by lying in wait, you shall tear him away from my altar, so that he may die.
कुनै मानिसले जानाजानी आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आक्रमण गरी धूर्त योजनामुताबिक मार्यो भने त्यो परमेश्वरको वेदीमा भए तापनि त्यसलाई मार्नलाई लगियोस् ।
15 Whoever strikes his father or mother shall die a death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई हिर्काउने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
16 Whoever will have stolen a man and sold him, having been convicted of the crime, shall be put to death.
जसले कुनै व्यक्तिलाई अपहरण गरी त्यसले उसलाई बेच्यो वा पक्रिँदा त्यसकै हातमा फेला पर्यो भने अपहरणकारीलाई मारिनैपर्छ ।
17 Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother shall die a death.
आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई सराप्ने जोसुकै पनि निश्चय नै मारिनैपर्छ ।
18 If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck his neighbor with a stone or a fist, and he does not die, but lies in bed,
मानिसहरू एक-अर्कासित झगडा गर्दा एउटाले अर्कोलाई ढुङ्गाले वा मुक्काले हिर्कायो र त्यो व्यक्ति नमरी ओछ्यान पर्यो
19 if he gets up again and can walk outside on his staff, he who struck him will be innocent, but only if he makes sufficient restitution for his deeds and for the cost of the physicians.
र त्यो फेरि उठेर आफ्नो लट्ठीको सहायताले यताउता हिँड्न सक्यो भने हिर्काउनेले त्यसको समयको हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले ऊ पूर्ण निको नभएसम्म सबै खर्च पनि दिनुपर्छ । तर त्यो मानिस हत्याको दोषी भने हुँदैन ।
20 Whoever strikes his male or female servant with a staff, and if they have died by his hands, he shall be guilty of a crime.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीलाई लट्ठीले हिर्काउँदा मुक्का लागेर मर्यो भने त्यस मानिसलाई निश्चय नै दण्ड दिइनुपर्छ ।
21 But if he survives for one day or two, he shall not be subject to punishment, because it is his money.
तर त्यो एक-दुई दिनसम्म बाँच्यो भने मालिकलाई दण्ड दिइनुहुँदैन किनकि उसले नोकरको क्षति भोग्नेछ ।
22 If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck a pregnant woman, and as a result she miscarries, but she herself survives, he shall be subject to as much damage as the husband of the woman shall petition from him, or as arbitrators shall judge.
मानिसहरू सँगसँगै झगडा गर्दा गर्भवती महिलालाई हानि पुगी त्यसको बच्चा तुहियो तर त्यो आफैलाई कुनै चोट लागेन भने त्यस स्त्रीको पतिले मागेबमोजिम दोषी मानिसलाई हर्जाना तिराइनुपर्छ, र न्यायकर्ताहरूले तोकेबमोजिम त्यसले तिर्नुपर्छ ।
23 But if her death will have followed, he will repay a life for a life,
तर गम्भीर चोट लागेको रहेछ भने त्यस मानिसलाई प्राणको सट्टा प्राण
24 an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,
आँखाको सट्टा आँखा, दाँतको सट्टा दाँत, हातको सट्टा हात, खुट्टाको सट्टा खुट्टा
25 a scrape for a scrape, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.
डामको सट्टा डाम, चोटको सट्टा चोट र कुटाइको सट्टा कुटाइ मिलोस् ।
26 If anyone will have struck the eye of his male or female servant, having left them with one eye, he shall release them freely, because of the eye that he has put out.
कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको आँखामा हिर्काएर त्यसलाई नष्ट गरिदियो भने उसले आँखाको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
27 Likewise, if he knocks out a tooth of his male or female servant, he shall similarly release them freely.
उसले आफ्नो कमारा वा कमारीको दाँत निकालिदियो भने उसले दाँतको साटो त्यसलाई स्वतन्त्र भएर जान दिओस् ।
28 If an ox has struck a man or a woman with his horn, and if they die, it shall be stoned. And its flesh shall not be eaten; also, the owner of the ox will be innocent.
कुनै गोरुले पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई सिङले हानेर मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ, र त्यसको मासु खाइनुहुँदैन ।
29 But if the ox had been pushing with his horn, from yesterday and the day before, and they warned his owner, but he did not confine it, and it will have killed a man or a woman, then the ox shall be stoned, and his owner shall be killed.
तर गोरुको मालिकचाहिँ निर्दोष होस् । तर गोरुको विगतमा हान्ने बानी थियो र त्यसको मालिकलाई यसबारे चेताउनी दिँदा पनि उसले बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ र गोरुले पुरुष वा महिलालाई मार्यो भने त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारिनैपर्छ र त्यसको मालिकलाई पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।
30 But if they have imposed a price on him, he shall give, in exchange for his life, whatever is asked.
त्यसको जीवनको लागि कुनै मूल्य माग गरिएको छ भने मागेजति मालिकले दिनुपर्छ ।
31 Likewise, if it has struck a son or a daughter with its horns, it shall be subject to a similar verdict.
गोरुले कुनै मानिसको छोरो वा छोरीलाई हानेको छ भने त्यसको मालिकले नियमअनुसार तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
32 If it attacks a male or female servant, he shall give thirty shekels of silver to their lord, yet truly the ox shall be stoned.
गोरुले कमारा वा कमारीलाई हान्यो भने त्यसको मालिकले चाँदीको तिस सिक्का देओस् र गोरुलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारियोस् ।
33 If a man digs or opens a cistern, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
कुनै मानिसले खाडललाई उदाङ्गै राख्यो वा त्यसले खाडल खनेर त्यसलाई ढाकेन र त्यसभित्र गोरु वा गधा खस्यो भने
34 then the owner of the cistern shall repay the price of the beasts, and what is dead will belong to him.
खाडल खन्नेले हर्जाना तिर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले मृत पशुको मालिकलाई रुपियाँ तिर्नपर्छ र त्यो मरेको पशु त्यसको हुनेछ ।
35 If the ox of a stranger wounds the ox of another, and it has died, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the price, but the carcass of the dead one they shall distribute between them.
एउटा मान्छेको गोरुले अर्को मान्छेको गोरुलाई चोट पुर्याएर त्यो मर्यो भने त्यसले जिउँदो गोरुलाई बेची तिनीहरूले त्यसको मूल्य बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले मरेको गोरुलाई पनि बाँडफाँड गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 But if he knew that his ox had pushed with its horns, yesterday and the day before, and its owner did not confine it, then he shall repay an ox for an ox, and he will receive the whole carcass.”
तर त्यस गोरुको विगतमा पनि हान्ने बानी रहेछ र त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई बाँधेर राखेको रहेनछ भनी थाहा हुन आयो उसले गोरुको सट्टा गोरु तिर्नुपर्छ अनि मरेको पशु त्यसको मालिकको हुनेछ ।
