21 Haddaba kuwanu waa amarradii aad hortooda dhigi lahayd.

Addoommadii Cibraaniyada Ahaa

Haddaad addoon Cibraani ah iibsatid, ha kuu adeego lix sannadood, oo tan toddobaadna ha iska tago isagoo xor ah oo aan waxba bixin. Oo hadduu keli ahaantiis ku soo galo, haddana keli ahaantiis ha ku baxo, hadduuse naag qabo, de markaas waa inay naagtiisu isaga la baxdaa. Haddii sayidkiisu naag siiyona, oo ay wiilal iyo gabdho u dhasho, de markaas naagta iyo carruurteedaba waxaa iska lahaanaya sayidkeedii, oo waa inuu isagu keligiis iska baxaa. Laakiinse haddii addoonku bayaan u yidhaahdo, Anigu waan jeclahay sayidkayga, iyo naagtayda, iyo carruurtayda, oo anigoo xor ah bixi maayo, de markaas waa in sayidkiisu xaakinnada u keenaa, oo waa inuu albaabka ag keenaa, ama tiirka albaabka; markaas sayidkiisu dhegta mudac ha kaga dalooliyo; oo weligiis ha u adeego.

Oo haddii nin gabadhiisa u iibiyo inay addoon noqoto, waa inaanay dibadda u bixin sida addoommada nimanka ahu ay u baxaan. Oo haddaanay raalli gelin sayidkeedii doonay iyada, de markaas waa inuu sii daayo iyada, ha la madax furto, laakiinse amar uma lahaan doono inuu iyada dad qalaad ka iibiyo, waayo, khiyaano ayuu kula macaamilooday iyada. Oo hadduu iyada wiilkiisa u guursho, de waa inuu iyada ula macaamiloodaa sida gabdhaha loola macaamiloodo. 10 Oo hadduu naag kale la guursado, waa inuusan inna ka dhimin masruufkeeda, iyo dharkeeda, iyo xaqa naagnimadeeda. 11 Oo hadduusan saddexdaas iyada u samayn, markaas lacagla'aan ha ku baxdo.

Dhaawicidda Shakhsiyeed

12 Kii nin wax ku dhufta si uu ninku u dhinto, isagana hubaal waa in la dilaa. 13 Oo haddii aanu gaadin, laakiinse Ilaah u dhiibo gacantiisa, de markaas anaa kuu samayn doona meel uu ku cararo. 14 Oo haddii nin kibir ula badheedho inuu deriskiisa khiyaano ku dilo, waa inaad isaga ka waddaa meeshayda allabariga, ha dhintee.

15 Oo kii aabbihiis ama hooyadiis wax ku dhufta, hubaal kaas waa in la dilaa.

16 Oo kii intuu nin xada iibiya ama gacantiisaba laga helo, hubaal kaas waa in la dilaa.

17 Oo kii aabbihiis ama hooyadiis caaya, hubaal kaas waa in la dilaa.

18 Oo haddii niman diriraan, oo midkood kan kale dhagax ama feedh ku dhufto, oo uusan dhiman, laakiinse uu sariir ku jiif noqdo; 19 kaasu hadduu mar kale sara kaco oo uu dibadda u baxo isagoo ushiisa ku tukubaya, markaas kii wax ku dhuftay eed ma leh, laakiinse waa inuu siiyaa wixii ka khasaaroobay intuu jiifay, waana inuu dhaqaaleeyo ilaa uu ka bogsado.

20 Haddii nin addoonkiisa ama addoontiisa uu ul ku dhufto, oo uu gacantiisa ku dhinto, kaas hubaal waa in la ciqaabaa. 21 Kan la dilayse hadduu maalin ama laba sii joogo, de markaas waa inaan la ciqaabin, waayo, isagu waa lacagtiisii.

22 Oo haddii niman diriraan oo ay wax yeelaan naag uur leh, oo uu ilmaheedu ka soo dhaco, laakiinse dhib kale aanu dhicin, kaas waa in lagu ganaaxaa intii ninkii naagta qabay uu kor saaro, oo waa inuu bixiyaa intii xaakinnadu ku xukumaan. 23 Laakiinse haddii dhib kale dhacdo, waa inaad naf naf u dishaa, 24 oo waa inaad il il u riddaa, iligna ilig u riddaa, gacanna gacan u gooysaa, cagna cag u gooysaa, 25 oo kii wax guba, gub, kii wax dhaawacana, dhaawac, kii wax karbaashana, karbaash.

26 Oo haddii nin isha addoonkiisa ama isha addoontiisa wax ku dhufto, oo ka rido, de markaas waa inuu iska sii daayaa isagoo xor ah, ishiisa aawadeed. 27 Oo hadduu iligga addoonkiisa ama iligga addoontiisa wax ku dhufto oo ka rido, de markaas waa inuu iska sii daayaa isagoo xor ah iliggiisa aawadiis.

28 Oo haddii dibi nin ama naag geeso ku mudo, oo ay dhintaan, markaas hubaal waa in dibiga la dhagxiyaa, oo hilibkiisana waa inaan la cunin; laakiinse qofkii dibiga lahaa waxba eed ma leh. 29 Laakiinse haddii markii hore dibigu dad geesaha ku mudi jiray, oo loo sheegay qofkii lahaa, isaguse aanu xidhin, laakiinse uu dibigu nin ama naag dilay, dibiga waa in la dhagxiyaa, oo weliba qofkii lahaana waa in isna la dilaa. 30 Haddiise mag la saaro isaga, de markaas waa inuu bixiyaa wax alla wixii la kor saaray madaxfurashadiisa aawadeed. 31 Hadduu wiil geeso ku muday iyo hadduu gabadh geeso ku mudayba waa in xukunkan lagu qaadaa. 32 Oo haddii dibigii geeso ku mudo nin addoon ah ama naag addoon ah, waa inuu ninkii dibiga lahaa sayidkoodii soddon sheqel oo lacag ah siiyaa, oo dibigana waa in la dhagxiyaa.

33 Oo haddii nin god daboolka ka qaado, ama haddii nin god qodo oo uu dabooli waayo, oo uu ama dibi ama dameer ku dhaco, 34 de markaas waa in ninkii godka lahaa xaq mariyaa. Waa inuu lacag siiyaa ninkii neefka lahaa, oo neefka dhintayna waa inuu isagu lahaado.

35 Oo haddii nin dibigiis nin kale dibigiis wax yeelo oo uu dhinto, de markaas waa inay dibiga nool iibiyaan, oo qiimihiisa waa inay qaybsadaan; oo weliba kan dhintayna waa inay qaybsadaan. 36 Ama haddii dibiga lagu yiqiin inuu markii hore wax geeso ku mudi jiray, oo uusan qofkii lahaa xidhin, markaas hubaal waa inuu dibi dibi ku bixiyaa, oo neefka dhintayna waa inuu isagu lahaado.

21 “These are the laws(A) you are to set before them:

Hebrew Servants(B)(C)

“If you buy a Hebrew servant,(D) he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free,(E) without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

“But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’(F) then his master must take him before the judges.[a](G) He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce(H) his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.(I)

“If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself,[b] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.(J) 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.

Personal Injuries

12 “Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death.(K) 13 However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place(L) I will designate. 14 But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately,(M) that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death.(N)

15 “Anyone who attacks[c] their father or mother is to be put to death.

16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death,(O) whether the victim has been sold(P) or is still in the kidnapper’s possession.

17 “Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.(Q)

18 “If people quarrel and one person hits another with a stone or with their fist[d] and the victim does not die but is confined to bed, 19 the one who struck the blow will not be held liable if the other can get up and walk around outside with a staff; however, the guilty party must pay the injured person for any loss of time and see that the victim is completely healed.

20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.(R)

22 “If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely[e] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands(S) and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life,(T) 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth,(U) hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

26 “An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. 27 And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.

28 “If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to death,(V) and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible. 29 If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up(W) and it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death. 30 However, if payment is demanded, the owner may redeem his life by the payment of whatever is demanded.(X) 31 This law also applies if the bull gores a son or daughter. 32 If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels[f](Y) of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull is to be stoned to death.

33 “If anyone uncovers a pit(Z) or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34 the one who opened the pit must pay the owner for the loss and take the dead animal in exchange.

35 “If anyone’s bull injures someone else’s bull and it dies, the two parties are to sell the live one and divide both the money and the dead animal equally. 36 However, if it was known that the bull had the habit of goring, yet the owner did not keep it penned up,(AA) the owner must pay, animal for animal, and take the dead animal in exchange.
