< Exodus 21 >

1 Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.
Amateeka gano gabategeeze nti:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
“Bw’ogulanga omuddu Omwebbulaniya, akuweererezanga emyaka mukaaga. Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu omuddizanga eddembe lye n’agenda, era talisasuliranga.
3 If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Bw’aba nga yajja yekka, era agendanga yekka; naye bw’aba nga yajja ne mukazi we, era agendanga naye.
4 If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
Mukama we bw’abanga amuwadde omukazi, n’amuzaalira abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala; omukazi n’abaana babanga ba mukama wa muddu oyo; omusajja yekka ye yaddizibwanga eddembe lye.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say: I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free;
Naye omuddu bw’agambanga nti, ‘Nze mukama wange mmwagala, ne mukazi wange n’abaana bange bonna mbagala, era seetaaga ddembe,’
6 then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
mukama we amutwalanga eri abalamuzi, amuleetanga ku luggi oba ku mwango gw’oluggi, n’amuwummula okutu n’olukato. Olwo anaamuweerezanga okutuusa okufa.
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
“Omusajja bw’anaatundanga omwana we owoobuwala ng’omuddu, omuwala oyo taddizibwenga ddembe ng’omuddu omusajja.
8 If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed; to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
Bw’ataasanyusenga mukama we eyamugula, anaayinzanga okununulibwa. Kyokka mukama we taabenga na buyinza kumutunda mu bannamawanga, kubanga mukama we yanaabanga amukuusizakuusiza okumala okumuwasa ate n’amwegobako.
9 And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Singa amugabira mutabani we, olwo anaabanga ng’omu ku bawala be.
10 If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her conjugal rights, shall he not diminish.
Singa amuwasizaako omukazi omulala, mukama we taamuggyengako mmere ye oba engoye ze, wadde ebimukwatako byonna eby’obufumbo.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.
Ebintu ebyo ebisatu singa abimumma, omuwala omuddu anaayinzanga okuleka mukama we n’amuvaako awatali kusasulirwa.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall surely be put to death.
“Anaakubanga omuntu n’amutta, naye ateekwa buteekwa okuttibwa.
13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee.
Kyokka singa akikola nga tagenderedde, naye Katonda n’akikkiriza okubaawo, anaddukanga ne yeekweka mu kifo kye ndibateekerateekera.
14 And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die.
Naye singa omuntu anaasalanga olukwe n’alumba munne n’amutta mu bugenderevu, bw’anaabanga ku kyoto kyange, mumusikangako ne mumutwala ne mumutta.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
“Akubanga kitaawe oba nnyina, ateekwa buteekwa okuttibwa.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
“Oyo awambanga omuntu n’amutunda oba n’akwatibwa naye nga tannamutunda attibwanga buttibwa.
17 And he that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
“Anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina ateekwa kuttibwa.
18 And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed;
“Abantu singa bayomba ne balwana, omu n’akuba munne ejjinja oba ekikonde, n’atafa wabula n’abeera ku kitanda;
19 if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
singa ava ku kitanda, n’atandika n’okutambulako ebweru n’omuggo gwe, oli eyamukuba taavunaanibwenga; wabula anaasasuliranga ebiseera by’oyo gwe yakuba, era n’amujjanjaba okutuusa ng’awonedde ddala.
20 And if a man smite his bondman, or his bondwoman, with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
“Omuntu bw’anaakubanga omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi n’omuggo, omuddu oyo emiggo ne gimutta, omusajja oyo anaabonerezebwanga;
21 Notwithstanding if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his money.
naye omuddu oyo bw’anaalamanga okumala olunaku oba ennaku ebbiri, mukama we taabonerezebwenga, kubanga ye nannyini ye.
22 And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
“Singa abantu babadde balwana, ne bakubiramu omukazi ali olubuto, olubuto ne luvaamu, kyokka n’atabaako mutawaana mulala gwonna, oyo amukubye anaatanzibwanga omutango bba w’omukazi gw’anaasalanga, era nga n’abalamuzi bagukkirizza.
23 But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Naye singa omukazi oyo abaako omutawaana ogw’amaanyi, ekibonerezo kineenkanaakananga n’ekyo ky’amukoze. Bw’anattanga anattibwanga,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
bw’anaaggyangamu eriiso lya munne, n’erirye banaaligyangamu, oba omuntu bw’anaaggyangamu erinnyo lya munne, n’erirye banaalikuulangamu, bw’anaamutemangako omukono, n’ogugwe banaagutemangako, bw’anaamutemangako ekigere, n’ekikye banaakitemangako,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
bw’anaamwokyanga, naye anaayokebwanga, bw’anaamussangako ekiwundu, naye anaassibwangako ekiwundu, bw’anaamunuubulanga, naye anaanuubulwanga.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his bondman, or the eye of his bondwoman, and destroy it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
“Omuntu bw’akubanga omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi, n’amuggyamu eriiso, anaamuddizanga eddembe lye n’amuleka n’agenda, nga kwe kumuliyira olw’eriiso eryo.
27 And if he smite out his bondman's tooth, or his bondwoman's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
Singa akuba omuddu we omusajja oba omuddu we omukazi, n’amukuulamu erinnyo, anaamuddizanga eddembe lye, nga kwe kumuliyira olw’erinnyo eryo.
28 And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
“Singa ente ya seddume etomera omusajja oba omukazi n’emutta, seddume eyo eteekwa okukubwanga amayinja n’efa, n’ennyama yaayo teriibwanga. Kyokka nannyini yo taabengako musango.
29 But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and warning hath been given to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
Naye seddume eyo singa emanyiddwa nga bulijjo ntomezi, era nga ne nannyini yo yalabulwako dda, kyokka n’atagisibira mu lugo lwayo, n’etta omusajja oba omukazi, eneekubwanga amayinja n’efa, ne nannyini yo anattibwanga.
30 If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
Naye singa asalirwa engassi, aneenunulanga n’awona okufa ng’asasuddeyo kyonna ekinaabanga kimusaliddwa.
31 Whether it have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
Seddume bw’eneetomeranga mutabani w’omuntu oba muwala we, etteeka lye limu eryo lye linaakozesebwanga.
32 If the ox gore a bondman or a bondwoman, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Seddume bw’etomeranga omuddu omusajja oba omuddu omukazi, nannyini yo ateekwa okusasula mukama w’omuddu oyo, ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu, ne seddume ekubwenga amayinja efe.
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein,
“Omuntu bw’anaabikkulanga ekinnya n’akireka nga kyasamye, oba bw’anaasimanga ekinnya n’atakisaanikirako, seddume n’ekigwamu oba endogoyi,
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner of them, and the dead beast shall be his.
nannyini kinnya anaasasuliranga okufiirwa okwo; anaasasulanga nannyini nsolo efudde, era n’okugitwala anaagitwalanga.
35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, so that it dieth; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide.
“Seddume y’omuntu bw’eneerumyanga seddume y’omulala, n’emala egitta; banaatundanga seddume ennamu, ensimbi ne bazigabana; ne seddume enfu nayo banaagigabananga.
36 Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and its owner hath not kept it in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own.
Oba singa seddume eyo ng’emanyiddwa nga ntomezitomezi, naye nannyini yo nga tagiggalira mu lugo lwayo, ateekwa asasule seddume olwa seddume, yo enfu eneebanga yiye.
