Exodus 21
1 “These are the judgments which you shall place before them:
“Pea ko e ngaahi fono ʻeni, ʻaia ke ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao.
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve you; in the seventh, he shall depart freely, without charge.
Kapau te ke fakatau ha tamaioʻeiki ko e Hepelū, ko e taʻu ʻe ono te ne tauhi koe: pea ʻi hono fitu ʻe ʻalu atu tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
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.
Kapau naʻe haʻu tokotaha pe, ʻe ʻalu kituaʻā tokotaha pe: kapau naʻe mali, pea ʻe ʻalu hono mali mo ia.
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.
Kapau naʻe foaki ha mali kiate ia ʻe hono ʻeiki, pea kuo ne fānau kiate ia ʻae fānau tangata pe ʻe fānau fefine: ko e mali mo e fānau ʻe ʻa hono ʻeiki, pea te ne ʻalu tokotaha pe ia.
5 And if the servant will say, ‘I love my lord, and my wife and children, I will not depart freely,’
Pea kapau ʻe lea totonu ʻae tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki hoku ʻeiki, mo hoku mali, mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ke tauʻatāina au,
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.
Pea ʻe toki ʻomi ia ʻe hono ʻeiki ki he kau fakamaau; pea ʻe ʻomi ia foki ki he matapā, pe ki he pou ʻoe matapā; pea ʻe tui hono telinga ʻe hono ʻeiki ke ʻasi ʻaki ʻae hui; pea te ne tauhi ia ʻo fai maʻuaipē.
7 If anyone sells his daughter to be a servant, she shall not depart as a female servant is accustomed to go out.
“Pea kapau ʻe fakatau ʻe ha tangata hono ʻofefine ke hoko ko e kaunanga, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu kituaʻā ia ʻo hangē ko e kau tamaioʻeiki.
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.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakanofo ia kiate ia, te ne toki tukuange ia ke huhuʻi ia: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ʻene fakatau ia ki ha kakai kehe, koeʻuhi kuo fai taʻetotonu ia kiate ia.
9 But if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall treat her according to the custom with daughters.
Pea kapau kuo ne fakanofo ia ki hono foha, pea te ne fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻae ʻofefine.
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.
Kapau ʻoku ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae uaifi ʻe taha: ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne fakasiʻisiʻi ʻene meʻakai, pe ko e kofu, mo e ngāue totonu ʻae uaifi.
11 If he does not do these three things, she shall depart freely, without money.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe tolu kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻiate ia, ʻe tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
12 Whoever strikes a man, intending to murder, shall be put to death.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne tali ha tangata, pea mate ai ia, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
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.
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai lamasi ia ʻe ha tangata, ka naʻe tukuange ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono nima; pea te u fakahā kiate koe ha potu ke hola ia ki ai.
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.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe haʻu loto lahi ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he angakovi; te ke ʻave ia mei hoku feilaulauʻanga koeʻuhi ke mate ia.
15 Whoever strikes his father or mother shall die a death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
16 Whoever will have stolen a man and sold him, having been convicted of the crime, shall be put to death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha tangata, ʻo fakatau ia, pea kapau ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi hono nima, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
17 Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother shall die a death.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
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,
“Pea kapau ʻe fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea taaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻae tokotaha ʻaki ʻae maka, pe tuki ʻaki hono nima, pea ʻikai mate kae toka ai:
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.
Kapau ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻituʻa mo hono tokotoko, pea ʻe toki hao ai ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ia: ka ʻe totongi ia ki hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo liaki, pea te ne totongi hono fakamoʻui ke haohaoa.
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.
“Kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ko ʻene kaunanga ʻaki ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea mate ai ia ʻi hono nima; ko e moʻoni ʻe tautea ia.
21 But if he survives for one day or two, he shall not be subject to punishment, because it is his money.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe moʻui ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, pe ua, ʻe ʻikai tautea ia, he ko ʻene koloa ia.
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.
“Kapau ʻoku fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea lavea ai ha fefine feitama, pea tō ai ʻene tama, pea ngata ai hono kovi: ʻe tautea moʻoni ai ʻae tangata, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻe lea ki ai ʻae mali ʻoe fefine: pea ʻe totongi ia ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae kau fakamaau.
23 But if her death will have followed, he will repay a life for a life,
Pea kapau ʻe tupu ai ʻae kovi, ke ke ʻatu ʻae moʻui ke totongi ʻae moʻui.
24 an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,
Ko e mata ki he mata, ko e nifo ki he nifo, ko e nima ki he nima, ko e vaʻe ki he vaʻe,
25 a scrape for a scrape, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.
Ko e tutu ki he tutu, ko e lavea ki he lavea, mo e tā ki he tā.
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.
“Pea kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻae mata ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki pe ko e mata ʻo ʻene kaunanga, pea kui ai; pea ʻe tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻataʻatā, koeʻuhi ko hono mata.
27 Likewise, if he knocks out a tooth of his male or female servant, he shall similarly release them freely.
Pea kapau te ne taaʻi ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea mokulu ai ʻae nifo, pe ko e nifo ʻo ʻene kaunanga; te ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu tauʻatāina koeʻuhi ko e nifo.
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.
“Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ha tangata pe ha fefine, pea mate ai ia: ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate, pea ʻe ʻikai kai hono sino: pea ʻe ʻataʻatā ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae pulu.
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.
Pea kapau naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻaki hono meʻatui, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe hili, pea naʻe tala ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne noʻotaki ia, ka kuo ne tāmateʻi ha tangata, pe ha fefine; ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate ia, pea ʻe tāmateʻi mo ia ʻoku ʻaʻana.
30 But if they have imposed a price on him, he shall give, in exchange for his life, whatever is asked.
Pea kapau ʻe lau paʻanga kiate ia mo hono huhuʻi, pea te ne ʻatu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku tala kiate ia.
31 Likewise, if it has struck a son or a daughter with its horns, it shall be subject to a similar verdict.
Kapau kuo ne tuiʻi ha foha pe ha ʻofefine, ʻe fai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki ha fakamaau ni.
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.
Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe he pulu ha tamaioʻeiki pe ha kaunanga; ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ki heʻena ʻeiki ʻae sikeli siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate.
33 If a man digs or opens a cistern, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
“Pea kapau ʻe tangaki ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pe kapau ʻe keli ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pea ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ia, pea tō ki ai ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi;
34 then the owner of the cistern shall repay the price of the beasts, and what is dead will belong to him.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae luo te ne totongi ia, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae manu; ka e ʻaʻana ʻae manu mate.
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.
Pea kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae pulu ʻae tangata kehe, pea mate ai ia; te na toki fakatau ʻae pulu moʻui, ʻo vaeua ʻae totongi; pea te na vaeua mo e pulu mate.
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.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo, naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻi muʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai noʻotaki ia ʻe heʻene ʻeiki; ko e moʻoni te ne totongi ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae pulu; pea ʻe ʻaʻana ʻae pulu mate.
