Exodus 21
1 “Here are some [other] instructions to give to [the Israeli people]:
А оце зако́ни, що ти викладеш перед ними:
2 When/If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for [only] six years. In the seventh year you must free him [from being your slave], and he is not required to pay you anything [for setting him free].
Коли купиш єврейського раба, нехай він працює шість років, а сьомого нехай вийде да́рмо на волю.
3 If he was not married before he became your slave, and if he marries [someone while he is your slave], his wife is not to be set free [with him]. But if he was married before he became your slave, you must free both him and his wife.
Якщо при́йде він сам один, нехай сам один і вийде; коли він має жінку, то з ним вийде й жінка його.
4 If a slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters [while her husband is a slave], only the man is to be freed. His wife and children will continue to be slaves of their master.
Якщо пан його дасть йому жінку, і вона породить йому синів або дочо́к, — та жінка та діти її нехай будуть для пана її, а він нехай вийде сам один.
5 But when it is time for the slave to be set free, if the slave says, ‘I love my master and my wife and my children, and I do not want to be set free,’
А якщо раб той щиро скаже: „Полюбив я пана свого, жінку свою та дітей своїх, — не вийду на волю“,
6 then his master must take him to [the place where they worship] God (OR, to [the owner’s] house). There he must make the slave stand against the door or the doorpost. Then the master will use an (awl/pointed metal rod) to make a hole in the slave’s ear. Then [he will fasten a tag to the slave’s ear to indicate that] (he will own that slave for the rest of his life/he will own the slave as long as the slave lives).
то нехай його пан приведе́ його до суддів, і підведе його до дверей або до бічни́х одві́рків, та й проколе пан його вухо йому шилом, — і він буде робити йому повіки!
7 If a man sells his daughter to become a slave, she should not be set free [after six years], as the male slaves are.
А коли хто продасть дочку́ свою на неві́льницю, — не вийде вона, як виходять раби.
8 If the man who bought her wanted her to be his wife, but if [later] he is not pleased with her, he must sell her back to her father. He must not sell her to a foreigner, because that would be breaking the contract/agreement [he made with the girl’s father].
Якщо вона невгодна в оча́х свого пана, який призна́чив був її собі, то нехай позволить її викупити. Не вільно йому продати її до народу чужого, коли зрадить її.
9 If the man who buys her wants her to be a wife for his son, he must then treat her as though she were his own daughter.
А якщо призна́чить її для сина свого, то зробить їй за правом дочо́к.
10 If the master takes another slave girl to be another wife for himself, he must continue to give the first slave wife the same amount of food and clothing that he gave to her before, and he must continue to have sex [EUP] with her as before.
Якщо візьме собі іншу, то не зменшить поживи їй, одежі їй і подру́жнього пожиття́ їй.
11 If he does not do all these three things for her, he must free her [from being a slave], and she is not required to pay anything [for being set free].
А коли він цих трьох речей не робитиме їй, то вона вийде да́рмо, без о́купу.
12 You must execute anyone who strikes another person with the result that the person who is struck dies.
Хто вдарить люди́ну, і вона вмре, той конче буде забитий.
13 But if the one who struck the other did not intend to kill that person, the one who struck him can escape to a place that I will choose for you, [and he will be safe there].
А хто не чатува́в, а Бог підвів кого в його руку, то дам тобі місце, куди той утече.
14 But if someone gets angry with another person and kills him, even if the murderer runs to the altar, [a place that God designated as a place to be safe], you must execute him.
А коли хто буде замишляти на ближнього свого, щоб забити його з хитрістю, — ві́зьмеш його від же́ртівника Мого на смерть.
15 Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
А хто вдарить батька свого чи матір свою, той конче буде забитий.
16 Anyone who kidnaps another person, either in order to sell that person or to keep him as a slave, must be executed.
А хто вкраде люди́ну і продасть її, або буде вона зна́йдена в руках його, той конче буде забитий.
17 Anyone who reviles/curses his father or his mother must be executed.
І хто проклинає батька свого чи свою матір, той конче буде забитий.
18 Suppose two people fight, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist. And suppose the person he strikes does not die but is injured and has to stay in bed [for a while],
А коли будуть свари́тися люди, і вдарить один о́дного ка́менем або кулаком, і той не вмре, а зляже на посте́лю,
19 and later he is able to walk outside using a cane. Then the person who struck him does not have to be punished. However, he must pay the injured person the money he could not earn [while he was recovering], and he must also pay the injured person’s medical expenses until that person is well.
якщо встане й буде проходжуватися надворі з опертям своїм, то буде оправданий той, хто вдарив, тільки нехай дасть за прогаяння ча́су його та справді вилікує.
20 If someone strikes his male or female slave with a stick, if the slave dies (immediately/as a result) [IDM], the one who struck him must be punished.
А коли хто вдарить раба свого або невільницю свою києм, а той помре під рукою його, то конче буде покараний той.
21 But if the slave lives for a day or two after he is struck [and then dies], you must not punish the one who struck him. Not having that slave to be able to work for him any longer is enough punishment.
Тільки якщо той переживе день або два дні, то не буде покараний, бо він — його гроші.
22 Suppose two people are fighting and they hurt a pregnant woman with the result that (she has a miscarriage/her baby is born prematurely and dies). If the woman is not harmed in any other way, the one who injured her must pay a fine. He must pay whatever the woman’s husband demands, after a judge approves of the fine.
А коли будуть битися люди, і вдарять вагі́тну жінку, і скине вона дитину, а іншого нещастя не станеться, то конче буде покараний, я́к покладе на нього чоловік тієї жінки, і він дасть за присудом суддів.
23 But if the woman is injured in some additional way, the one who injured her must be caused to suffer in exactly the same way [that he caused her to suffer]. If she dies, he must be executed.
А якщо станеться нещастя, то даси ду́шу за ду́шу,
24 If her eye is injured or destroyed, or if he knocks out one of her teeth, or her hand or foot is injured, or if she is burned or bruised, the one who injured her must be injured in the same way.
око за око, зуба за зуба, руку за руку, ногу за ногу,
опа́рення за опарення, рану за рану, синяка за синяка.
26 If the owner of a slave strikes the eye of his male or female slave and ruins it, he must free that slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s eye.
А коли хто вдарить в око раба свого, або в око невільниці своєї, і знищить його, той на волю відпустить його за око його.
27 If someone knocks out one of his slave’s teeth, he must free the slave because of [what he did to] the slave’s tooth.
А якщо виб'є зуба раба свого, або зуба невільниці своєї, той на волю відпустить того за зуба його.
28 If a bull gores a man or woman with the result that the person dies, you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must not punish the owner of the bull.
А коли віл ударить чоловіка або жінку, а той умре, конче буде вкамено́ваний той віл, і м'ясо його не буде їджене, а власник того вола невинний.
29 But suppose the bull had attacked people several times before, and its owner had been warned, but he did not keep the bull inside a fence. Then you [must kill the bull by] throwing stones at it, but you must also execute its owner.
А якщо віл був битли́вим і вчора, і третього дня, і було те засвідчене у власника його, а той його не пильнував, і заб'є той віл чоловіка або жінку, — буде він укамено́ваний, а також власник буде забитий.
30 However, if the owner of the bull is allowed to pay a fine (to save his own life/in order not to be executed), he must pay the full amount that the judges say that he must pay.
Якщо на нього буде накладений ви́куп, то дасть викупа за душу свою, скільки буде на нього накла́дене.
31 If someone’s bull attacks and gores another person’s son or daughter, you must treat the bull’s owner according to that same rule.
Або вдарить віл сина, або вдарить дочку́, — буде зро́блено йому за цим законом.
32 If a bull attacks and gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay to the slave’s owner 30 pieces of silver. Then you must [kill the bull by] throwing stones at it.
33 Suppose someone has a pit/cistern and does not keep it covered, and someone’s bull or donkey falls into it [and dies].
А коли хто розкриє яму, або викопає яму й не закриє її, і впаде́ туди віл або осел,
34 Then the owner of the pit/cistern must pay for the animal that died. He must give the money to the animal’s owner, but then he can take away the animal that died and [do whatever he wants to with it].
власник ями відшкодує, — верне гроші власникові його, а загинуле буде йому.
35 If someone’s bull hurts another person’s bull with the result that it dies, the owners of both bulls must sell the bull that is living, and they must divide [between them] the money [that they receive] for it. They must also divide [between them the meat of] the animal that died.
А коли чийсь віл ударить вола його ближнього, і згине той, то продадуть вола живого, а гроші за нього поділять пополови́ні, і також загинулого поділять пополови́ні.
36 However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died [and do with it whatever he wants to do].”
А коли буде відо́ме, що віл був битли́вим і вчо́ра й третього дня, а власник його не пильнував його, то конче нехай відшкоду́є вола за того вола, а забитий буде йому.
