Exodus 21
1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
BAWIPA nihai, nang ni Isarelnaw koe lawk na ceng hane teh,
2 If thou shalt buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart 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 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart 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 If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall depart by himself.
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 plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free:
Nahoeh pawiteh, san ni ka bawipa hoi ka yu ka canaw ka lungpataw, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh telah tet pawiteh,
6 Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him 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 And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not depart as the male slaves do.
A na pa ni a canu san lah yawt pawiteh, hote napui teh san tongpa patetlah hlout mahoeh.
8 If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with 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 And if he hath 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 If he shall take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
Alouke napui bout lat pawiteh, hmaloe a la e napui e khohna hoi a yu lah onae hah raphoe pouh mahoeh.
11 And if he shall not perform these three things for her, then shall she depart free without money.
Hete hno kathum touh sak pouh hoehpawiteh, aphu het laipalah a hlout sak han.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
Tami hem boi lah dout pawiteh ama hai a due roeroe han.
13 And if a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place where he shall 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 But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him 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 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa ka hem e tami a due roeroe han.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he shall surely 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 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
A manu hoi a na pa thoe ka bo e tami teh thei lah ao han.
18 And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he shall not die, but keepeth to 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 shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be clear: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
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 And if a man shall smite his male or female servant, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
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 However, if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he 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 shall contend, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit shall depart from her, and yet no harm follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
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 And if any harm shall follow, then thou shalt give 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 And if a man shall smite the eye of his male servant, or the eye of his female servant, that it shall perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
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 And if he shall smite out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
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 shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear.
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 accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not restrained him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and 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 If there shall be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Nahoeh pawiteh, tangka rawng naseh telah dei pawiteh, dei e patetlah amae hringnae kâratang nahanlah a rawng han.
31 Whether he hath gored a son, or hath gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
Ayânaw e canaw deng pawiteh, a dei e patetlah a khang han.
32 If the ox shall push a male or female servant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, 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 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or a donkey shall 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 make payment, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
Tangkom ka tai e ni marang hoi maito phu hah a rawng vaiteh a ro a la han.
35 And if one man’s ox shall hurt another’s, that he shall die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
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 Or if it shall be known that the ox was accustomed to push in time past, and his owner hath not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
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.
