Eksodosy 21

1 Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:

Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them.

2 Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.

If you buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

3 Ie dogalahy te mizilik’ ao le i hadogà’ey ty hiakara’e; ie manam-baly te mizilike le amam-bali’e ka te hiavotse.

If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 Ie tolora’ ty talè’e valy vaho mahatoly ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela ama’e le ho a i talè’ey i vali’ey naho o ana’eo, le doga re te hiakatse ao.

If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5 Fe naho mitsey ty hoe i mpitoro’ey, Koko­ako ty talèko naho ty valiko vaho o anakoo; tsy te hiakatse ampidadàn-draho,

And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

6 le hasese’ i talè’ey añatrefan’ Añahare. Hendeseñe mb’an-tsarirañe mb’eo ndra am-pikalan-dalañe eo le ho trofahe’ ty talè’e fañity ty ravembia’e vaho ho toroñe’e kitro añ’afe’e.

Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

7 Ie aleta’ t’in­daty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahi­lahy ty hiakara’e.

And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8 Naho heje’ ty talè’e, ie jinobo’e ho am-bata’e, le azo jebañeñe; fe tsy hanan-jo handetak’ aze ami’ty ambahiny naho heje’e, ie nifañahia’e.

If she please not her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9 Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.

And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

10 Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.

If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

11 F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.

And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

12 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.

He that strikes a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

13 Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.

And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14 Fe naho iambotraha’ t’in­daty am-pamañahiañe t’in­daty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.

But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; you shall take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.

And he that strikes his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

16 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.

And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17 Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.

And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

18 Naho mifañotake t’in­daty vaho dasire’ ty raike am-bato ty raike ndra lihiñe’e an-toto-fetreke, f’ie tsy mivetrake, fa mikopake an-tihy,

And if men strive together, and one strike another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keeps his bed:

19 aa naho mitroatse indatiy naho midraidraitse alafe’e ao am-pitoñoñe, le avotsotse i nandafay, fe havaha’e i fitoboha’ey vaho tsi-mete tsy hatrafe’e ampara’ t’ie jangañe.

If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that stroke him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

20 Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.

And if a man strike his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

21 Fa naho mbe mitam­beloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.

Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

22 Naho mijoy ty ampela mivesatse t’in­daty mifandrapake vaho mahaboloañe ty ana’e tsy añom-bolañe, fe tsy orihem-boy, le toe ho liloveñe re ami’ty hampanoa’ ty vali’ i rakembay vaho hampañondrohe’ o mpizakao.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,

And if any mischief follow, then you shall give life for life,

24 fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.

Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

26 Aa naho trofahe’ ty talè’e ty maso’ ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela vaho mijoy aze, le havotso’ i talè’ey hidada i ondevoy, ho solo’ i masoy.

And if a man strike the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

27 Naho apiro’ ty talè ty nife’ ondevo’e ke lahi­lahy he ampela, le havotsotse i ondevoy; hasolo i nifey ty fihahà’e.

And if he strike out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

28 Naho mitomboke ondaty ty añombe naho mampihomak’ aze le tsi-mete tsy ho retsahem-bato i añombey vaho tsy ho kamaeñe ty nofo’e; fa votsotse ty tompo’ i añom­bey.

If an ox 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 quit.

29 Aa naho nilili’ i añombey omale ndra fak’omale ty mandronjeronje amo tsifa’eo ie nampandrendreheñe i tompo’ey, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse vaho mañe-doza amy t’in­daty ndra rakemba i añombey, le ho fetsahem-bato i añombey vaho havetrake i tom­po’ey.

But if the ox were known to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

30 Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e ty amy ze ampañavahañ’aze iaby.

If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

31 Ie mitombok’ ajalahy ndra ampela, le hampañavaheñe an-jaka.

Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

32 Naho mitomboke ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela ka i añombey le ampañavaheñe volafoty sekele 30 i tompo’ey vaho retsahem-bato i añombey.

If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 Naho sokafe’ t’in­daty ty koboñe, he mihaly kadaha fa tsy kapefa’e vaho mikorovok’ ao ty añombe ndra birìke,

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;

34 le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.

The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

35 Naho joie’ ty añombe’ ondaty ty aze, le haleta’ iareo i veloñey naho ho zarae’ iereo roe i vili’ey vaho ifanjarañe i matey.

And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.

36 Fe naho nifohiñe te lili’ i añombey ty mandronje, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse, le havaha’ i tompo’ey añombe i añombey vaho aze i matey.

Or if it be known that the ox has used to push in time past, and his owner has not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
