Exodus 21
1 These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
BAWIPA nihai, nang ni Isarelnaw koe lawk na ceng hane teh,
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee: in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Hebru tami san lah na ran pawiteh, kum taruk touh dueng san lah na ta han. Kum sari a pha toteh ratang laipalah na hlout sak han.
3 With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.
Santoung nah tami buet touh dueng santoung pawiteh, buet touh dueng a tâco han. A yuvâ kahni touh hoi santoung pawiteh, a yu hoi cungtalah na tâco sak han.
4 But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters: the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.
Nahoeh pawiteh, a bawipa ni a yu a la pouh e awm pawiteh, hote a yu hoi canaw khe pawiteh, a yu hoi a canaw teh a bawipa ni a coe han. San teh ama dueng a tâco han.
5 And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
Nahoeh pawiteh, san ni ka bawipa hoi ka yu ka canaw ka lungpataw, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh telah tet pawiteh,
6 His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.
A bawipa ni Cathut hmalah thoseh, im takhang koe thoseh, a hnâ caphuem hoi a kavi pouh hnukkhu, hote san teh a yungyoe san lah ao han.
7 If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.
A na pa ni a canu san lah yawt pawiteh, hote napui teh san tongpa patetlah hlout mahoeh.
8 If she displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered, he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign nation, if he despise her.
A bawipa ni hote napui a la teh ngai hoehpawiteh, bout a ratang sak han. Ahni hah a dum dawkvah alouke miphunnaw koe yawt thai hoeh.
9 But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
A capa hanlah lat boipawiteh, a canu patetlah a khetyawt han.
10 And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her chastity.
Alouke napui bout lat pawiteh, hmaloe a la e napui e khohna hoi a yu lah onae hah raphoe pouh mahoeh.
11 If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.
Hete hno kathum touh sak pouh hoehpawiteh, aphu het laipalah a hlout sak han.
12 He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.
Tami hem boi lah dout pawiteh ama hai a due roeroe han.
13 But he that did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands: I will appoint thee a place to which he must flee.
Thei hanlah noenae awm laipalah Cathut ni a kut dawk hringnae poe boipawiteh, a yawng nahane hmuen hah na pouk pouh awh han.
14 If a man kill his neighbour on set purpose and by lying in wait for him: thou shalt take him away from my altar, that he may die.
A imri thei hanlah noenae a tawn teh, ka tuk e tami teh ka khoungroe kângue nakunghai, sawn vaiteh thei roeroe han.
15 He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa ka hem e tami a due roeroe han.
16 He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.
Ka parawt e tami ni a paru e hno a yo nakunghai thoseh, a kut dawk kaawm nakunghai thoseh, thei lah ao roeroe han.
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
A manu hoi a na pa thoe ka bo e tami teh thei lah ao han.
18 If men quarrel, and the one strike his neighbour with a stone or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
Tami hoi tami kâyue teh buet touh ni talung hoi a dêi nakunghai thoseh, a kut hoi a thâw nakunghai thoseh, hemnae ka khang e tami kadout hoeh nakunghai, ikhun dawk sut ka yan nakunghai thoseh,
19 If he rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, he that struck him shall be quit, yet so that he make restitution for his work, and for his expenses upon the physicians.
bout a thaw teh sonron hoi ka cet nakunghai thoseh, ka hem e tami han a yonnae ngaithoum han. Hatei, ka pataw e tami thaw a kamkak dawkvah, a dam nahan kâsatnae aphu a poe han.
20 He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
A bawipa ni a sannu hoi a sanpa hah bongpai hoi a hem teh hote san dout pawiteh, a bawipa teh reknae ka patawpoung lah poe roeroe han.
21 But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
Hatei, san teh hnin touh, hnin hni a pataw hoi dout hoehpawiteh, hote san teh a bawipa e lah ao dawkvah reknae dawk hoi a hlout han.
22 If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award.
Tami hoi tami kâyue teh camo ka vawn e napui a takit dawk camo a kamko teh alouke patawnae bang awm hoehpawiteh, a vâ ni a dei e patetlah rek lah ao han. Bawi ni a dei e patetlah a rawng han.
23 But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
Alouke patawnae awm pawiteh, hringnae hanlah hringnae thoseh,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Mit hanlah mit thoseh, hâ hanlah hâ thoseh, kut hanlah kut thoseh, khok hanlah khok thoseh,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Hmai hanlah hmai thoseh, a hmâ hanlah a hmâ thoseh, hemnae hanlah hemnae thoseh a khang han.
26 If any man strike the eye of his manservant or maidservant, and leave them but one eye, he shall let them go free for the eye which he put out.
A bawipa ni a sannu a sanpa e a mit a rawk totouh hem pawiteh, a mit a rawk dawkvah a hlout sak han.
27 Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.
Hot patetvanlah, a sannu a sanpa e a hâ ka lawt lah hem pawiteh, a hâ a lawt dawkvah a hlout sak han.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, and they die, he shall be stoned: and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
Maito ni tami napui hoi tongpa a deng dawk dout pawiteh, hote maito hah atangcalah koung kadout lah dêi han. A moi hai cat mahoeh. Katawnkung teh ngaithoum lah ao han.
29 But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday and the day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, an his owner also shall be put to death.
Hot patetvanlah, tami ouk ka deng e maito, katawnkung ni tami ouk a deng e kong a thai nahlangva, pâkhit laipalah tat pawiteh, hote maito ni tami napui tongpa koung kadout lah deng pawiteh, hote maito teh talung hoi koung kadout lah dêi han. Katawnkung hai thei lah ao han.
30 And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
Nahoeh pawiteh, tangka rawng naseh telah dei pawiteh, dei e patetlah amae hringnae kâratang nahanlah a rawng han.
31 If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.
Ayânaw e canaw deng pawiteh, a dei e patetlah a khang han.
32 If he assault a bondman or a bond woman, he shall give thirty sicles of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
A sannu sanpa deng boipawiteh, maito katawnkung ni san katawnkung tangka 30 touh a rawng pouh han. Maito hai talung hoi koung kadout lah dêi han.
33 If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
Tami ni tangkom khuem paawng teh a tanae dawk thoseh, tangkom a tai teh teng laipalah a ta e dawk thoseh, ayânaw e marang hoi maito bawt pawiteh,
34 The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.
Tangkom ka tai e ni marang hoi maito phu hah a rawng vaiteh a ro a la han.
35 If one man’s ox gore another man’s ox, and he die: they shall sell the live ox, and shall divide the price, and the carcass of that which died they shall part between them:
Tami buet touh e maito ni ayâ louk e maito koung kadout lah deng pawiteh, maito ka tawn roi ni kahring e maito hah a yo roi vaiteh aphu a kârei roi han. Kadout e maito hai a kârei roi han.
36 But if he knew that his ox was wont to push yesterday and the day before, and his master did not keep him in: he shall pay ox for ox, and shall take the whole carcass.
Hot patetvanlah, maito ni ouk a deng tie katawnkung ni a panue nahlangva, pâkhit laipalah paktha pawiteh, maito ro ama ni a la han. Hote maito buet touh e a yueng lah maito buet touh a rawng han.
