Exodus 21
1 These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
-Men regleman w'a mete devan moun pèp Izrayèl yo:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee: in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Lè ou achte yon moun menm ras avè ou pou sèvi ou esklav, li gen pou l' sèvi ou sizan. Lè setyèm lanne a rive, l'a lib. L'a gen dwa al fè wout li san l' pa gen anyen pou l' peye ou.
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.
Si li te pou kont li lè l' te vini an, li va ale pou kont li. Si li te gen madanm lè l' te vini an, madanm lan va ale avè l'.
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.
Si se mèt li ki te ba li madanm, epi madanm lan te fè pitit pou li, ni pitit yo, ni manman lan va rete pou mèt la. Msye va al fè wout li pou kont li.
5 And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
Men, si esklav la di: Mwen renmen mèt mwen, mwen renmen madanm mwen ak pitit mwen yo, mwen pa vle vin lib ankò,
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.
enben, lè sa a, mèt la va mennen l' devan Bondye. L'a fè l' pwoche bò pòt la, osinon bò chanbrann pòt la, l'a pèse zòrèy li ak yon bagay pwenti. Konsa esklav la va rete ap sèvi li jouk li mouri.
7 If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.
Lè yon nonm vann pitit fi li pou sèvi esklav, pitit fi sa a pa ka lib ankò, jan yo ka fè l' pou gason yo.
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.
Si mèt la te fin dakò pou l' te pran fi a pou madanm, epi si apre sa fi a pa fè l' plezi ankò, msye va fè yon jan pou papa ak manman fi a achte l' nan men li ankò. Men, li pa gen dwa vann li bay yon moun lòt nasyon, paske se trayi l'a trayi fi a lè sa a.
9 But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Men, si li te fè lide bay pitit gason l' fi a, se pou l' aji avè l' tankou si se te pròp pitit fi li.
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.
Si li pran yon lòt madanm sou li, li pa gen dwa wete anyen sou sa li dwe l': ni sou manje l', ni sou rad li, epi se pou l' toujou sevi ak li tankou madanm li.
11 If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.
Si li pa fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, madanm lan gen dwa ale fè wout li, san li pa gen anyen pou l' peye mèt la, san bay senk kòb.
12 He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.
Si yon moun leve men l' sou yon lòt, epi li touye l', moun sa a, se pou yo touye l' tou.
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.
Men, si se pa espre li fè, si se Bondye ki fè lòt moun lan tonbe anba men l', m'ap chwazi yon kote pou l' ale kache kò l'.
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.
Men, si yon moun chache yon lòt kont, epi li fè plan pou li touye l', li te mèt al kache bò kote lòtèl mwen an, se pou n al pran l' pou nou touye l'.
15 He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
Si yon moun leve men l' sou papa l' osinon sou manman l', se pou yo touye l'.
16 He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.
Si yon moun pran yon lòt pa fòs pou l' al vann li osinon pou kenbe l' lakay li, se pou yo touye l'.
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
Si yon moun bay papa l' osinon manman l' madichon, se pou yo touye l'.
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:
Lè de moun gen kont, si yonn bay lòt yon koutwòch osinon yon koutpwen, epi si sak resevwa kou a pa mouri, men li blije pran kabann, men jan pou sa regle:
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.
Si li ka leve, si li ka mache pwonmennen ak baton, y'a fè pa moun ki te ba l' kou a. Tansèlman, l'a gen pou l' peye lòt la dedomajman pou tout jou li fè rete san travay, epi l'a reskonsab pran swen l' jouk li geri.
20 He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
Lè yon moun leve men l' sou yon esklav li, kit se gason, kit se fi, pou ba li koutbaton, si esklav la mouri frèt, se pou yo pini mèt la.
21 But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
Men, si esklav la fè yon jou osinon de jou anvan l' mouri, se pa nesesè pou yo pini mèt la, paske se lajan pa l' li te mete deyò pou l' achte l'.
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.
Lè gason ap goumen, si nan voye kou yo frape yon fanm ansent, epi si fanm lan fè foskouch san anyen ankò pa rive l', moun ki ba l' kou a va peye dedomajman dapre sa mari a va mande. L'a peye sa jij yo va deside.
23 But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
Men, si malè rive fanm lan, y'a fè l' peye lavi pou lavi,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
yon je pou yon je, yon dan pou yon dan, yon men pou yon men, yon pye pou yon pye,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
boule pou boule, blese pou blese, foule pou foule.
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.
Lè yon moun frape yon esklav li nan je, kit se yon gason, kit se yon fanm, si esklav la pèdi je a, mèt la va ba li libète l' pou dedomajman pou je a.
27 Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.
Si se dan yon esklav li rache, l'a ba li libète li pou dedomajman pou dan an.
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.
Lè yon bèf touye yon gason osinon yon fanm ak koutkòn, se pou yo touye l' ak koutwòch. Se pa pou yo manje vyann lan, ni yo pa bezwen fè mèt bèf la peye anyen.
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.
Men, si se pa premye fwa bèf la atake moun, si yo te pale mèt li men mèt li pa t' fè anyen pou sa, si bèf la touye yon gason osinon yon fanm, nan ka sa a y'ap toujou touye bèf la ak koutwòch, epi y'a touye mèt la tou pou pini l'.
30 And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
Men, si yo mande mèt bèf la pou l' peye pou l' ka sove lavi pa l', se pou l' peye tou sa y'a mande l' la.
31 If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.
Si bèf la atake yon ti gason osinon yon ti fi, se menm règleman an ki pou fèt.
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.
Si bèf la atake yon esklav, kit se gason, kit se fi, mèt bèf la va bay mèt esklav la trant pyès an ajan. Bèf la menm, y'a touye l' ak koutwòch.
33 If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,
Si yon moun kite yon pi dekouvri, ou ankò si l'ap fouye yon pi epi li kite l' san kouvèti, si yon bèf osinon yon bourik vin tonbe ladan l',
34 The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.
se pou mèt pi a peye mèt bèt la sa bèt la vo. Bèt mouri a menm va rete pou mèt pi a.
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:
Si yon moun gen yon bèf ki touye bèf yon lòt moun ak yon koutkòn, de mesye yo va vann bèf vivan an, y'a separe lajan an mwatye pou mwatye. y'a separe vyann bèf ki mouri a tou.
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.
Men, si se pa premye fwa bèf la ap bay koutkòn, si yo te pale mèt li men mèt li pa t' fè anyen pou sa, nan ka sa a, mèt bèf la gen pou peye. L'a bay yon bèf vivan pou bèf ki mouri a. Bèf mouri a menm va rete pou li.
