Exodus 21
1 Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:
Alò, sa yo se règleman ke ou va mete devan yo:
2 If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.
Si ou achte yon esklav Ebre, li va sèvi pou sizane, men nan setyèm ane a li va sòti tankou yon moun lib san peye frè.
3 If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Si li antre li sèl li, li va sòti sèl. Si se mari a yon madanm, alò, madanm nan va sòti avè l.
4 If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.
Si mèt li bay li yon madanm, e li fè fis oswa fi pou li, madanm nan avèk pitit li yo va rete pou mèt li, e li va sòti sèl.
5 But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,
Men si esklav la di byen klè: “Mwen renmen mèt mwen, madanm mwen, ak pitit mwen yo; mwen p ap sòti tankou moun lib,”
6 Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.
alò, mèt li va mennen li devan Bondye, e apre li va mennen li vè pòt la, oswa chanbrann pòt la. Epi konsa, mèt li va pèse zòrèy li avèk yon pwenson, e li va sèvi li nèt jis pou tout tan.
7 Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
Si yon mesye vann fi li kòm yon esklav femèl, li pa pou lage tankou yo kòn fè ak esklav mal yo.
8 If shee please not her master, who hath betrothed her to him selfe, then shall hee cause to buy her: hee shall haue no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.
Si li vin degoutan nan zye mèt li ki te anvizaje li pou li menm, alò, li va kite li ransone. Li pa gen otorite pou vann li a yon pèp etranje, akoz sa li fè pa jis.
9 But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.
Si li ta dezinye l pou marye ak fis li, li va trete li selon koutim pwòp fi li yo.
10 If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.
Si li ta vin pran pou li menm yon lòt fanm, li pa ka redwi manje li, vètman li, ni dwa konjigal li.
11 And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.
Si li p ap fè twa bagay sa yo pou li, alò li menm fi a va kite li gratis san peye lajan.
12 He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall dye the death.
Sila ki frape yon mesye pou li mouri va vrèman mete a lanmò.
13 And if a man hath not layed wayte, but God hath offered him into his hande, then I wil appoynt thee a place whither he shall flee.
Men si sa pa t rive pa eksprè nan anbiskad, men Bondye kite sa rive, alò, Mwen va chwazi yon kote pou li kapab sove ale.
14 But if a man come presumptuously vpon his neighbour to slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
Si, alò, yon mesye aji avèk mechanste kont vwazen li, pou l kab touye li nan koken, ou va pran li menm si se sou lotèl la, pou li kapab mouri.
15 Also hee that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Sila ki frape papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be founde with him, shall die the death.
Sila ki kidnape yon nonm, oswa ke li vann li, oswa yo twouve li nan posesyon li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
17 And hee that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
Sila ki modi papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman mete a lanmò.
18 When men also striue together, and one smite another with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but lieth in bed,
Si de mesye gen yon kont e youn frape lòt la avèk yon wòch, oswa avèk pwen li, e li pa mouri, men l pa ka leve sou kabann li,
19 If hee rise againe and walke without vpon his staffe, then shall he that smote him go quite, saue onely hee shall beare his charges for his resting, and shall pay for his healing.
si li ta leve mache deyò, malgre asistans baton li, alò, sila ki te frape li a va rete san pinisyon. Li va peye sèlman pou tan ke li pèdi a, e li va kontinye okipe li jis lè li fin geri nèt.
20 And if a man smite his seruant, or his maide with a rod, and he die vnder his hande, he shalbe surely punished.
Si yon mesye frape esklav li, kit mal kit femèl, avèk yon baton, epi li vin mouri nan men l, li va pini.
21 But if he continue a day, or two dayes, hee shall not be punished: for he is his money.
Malgre sa, si li leve apre youn oswa de jou, li p ap pini, pwiske sèvitè a se pwòp byen li ke li ye.
22 Also if men striue and hurt a woman with childe, so that her childe depart from her, and death follow not, hee shall bee surely punished according as the womans husband shall appoynt him, or he shall pay as the Iudges determine.
Si de mesye vin lite youn avèk lòt, yo frape yon fanm ansent e li vin akouche avan lè, men pa gen lòt pwoblèm, li va peye yon amann jan mari a fanm nan kapab mande li, e li va peye li selon desizyon jij yo.
23 But if death follow, then thou shalt paye life for life,
Men si gen plis mal ki fèt, alò, ou va òdone kòm yon penalite vi pou vi,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hande for hand, foote for foote,
zye pou zye, dan pou dan, men pou men, pye pou pye,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wounde, stripe for stripe.
brile pou brile, blese pou blese, brize pou brize.
26 And if a man smite his seruant in the eie, or his maide in the eye, and hath perished it, hee shall let him goe free for his eye.
Si yon mesye frape zye esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, e li pèdi zye a, li va bay li libète akoz pèt zye a.
27 Also if he smite out his seruants tooth, or his maides tooth, he shall let him goe out free for his tooth.
Si li kraze fè pèt a yon dan esklav li, kit mal, kit femèl, li va ba li libète akoz dan an.
28 If an oxe gore a man or a woman, that he die, the oxe shalbe stoned to death, and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the oxe shall goe quite.
Si yon bèf frennen yon mesye oswa yon fanm avèk kòn li, pou l mouri, bèf la va vrèman lapide jiskaske li mouri, e chè li p ap manje; men mèt bèf la p ap pini.
29 If the oxe were wont to push in times past, and it hath bene tolde his master, and hee hath not kept him, and after he killeth a man or a woman, the oxe shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.
Men si yon bèf te deja gen abitid frennen moun e mèt li te avèti deja, men li pa t okipe sa, e li vin touye yon mesye oswa yon fanm, bèf la va lapide, e mèt li anplis va mete a lanmò.
30 If there be set to him a summe of mony, then he shall pay the raunsome of his life, whatsoeuer shalbe laied vpon him.
Si yon aman ranson vin enpoze pou konsève lavi l, nenpòt sa yo mande, li va peye l,
31 Whether he hath gored a sonne or gored a daughter, he shalbe iudged after the same maner.
Si se yon fis oswa si se yon fi ke li frennen, l ap fèt menm jan selon menm règ la.
32 If the oxe gore a seruant or a mayde, hee shall giue vnto their master thirtie shekels of siluer, and the oxe shalbe stoned.
Si bèf la frennen yon mal oswa yon femèl esklav, mèt la va bay mèt li trant sik lajan, e bèf la va lapide.
33 And when a man shall open a well, or when he shall dig a pit and couer it not, and an oxe or an asse fall therein,
Si yon mesye ouvri yon fòs, oswa fouye yon fòs e li pa kouvri li, yon bèf, oswa yon bourik tonbe ladann,
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and giue money to the owners thereof, but the dead beast shalbe his.
mèt fòs la va bay rekonpans. Li va bay lajan a mèt li, e bèt mouri a va vin pou li.
35 And if a mans oxe hurt his neighbours oxe that he die, then they shall sel the liue oxe, and deuide the money thereof, and the dead oxe also they shall deuide.
Si bèf a yon mesye vin donmaje bèf a yon lòt, e li mouri, alò yo va vann bèf vivan an e divize pri li mwatye pou yo chak; epi osi yo va divize bèt mouri an.
36 Or if it bee knowen that the oxe hath vsed to push in times past, and his master hath not kept him, he shall pay oxe for oxe, but the dead shall be his owne.
Men, si li te deja rekonèt ke bèf la te gen abitid frennen, men mèt li pa t okipe sa, li va vrèman peye bèt pou bèt, e bèt mouri an va vin pou li.
