1“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
1「あなたが彼らの前に示す定めは、次の通りである。
2If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
2あなたがヘブル人の奴隷を買う場合、彼は六年間仕え、七年目には無償で自由の身となって出て行く。
3If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
3もし彼がひとりで来たなら、ひとりで出て行く。もし彼が妻帯者であれば、妻は彼と共に出て行く。
4If 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.
4もし主人が彼に妻を与え、彼女が彼に息子や娘を産んだ場合、その妻と子どもたちは主人のものとなり、彼はひとりで出て行く。
5But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
5しかし、もしその奴隷がはっきりと『私は主人と、妻と、子どもたちを愛している。自由の身となって出て行くことはしない』と言うなら、
6then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
6主人は彼を神のもとに連れて行き、戸口か門柱に連れて行く。そして主人はきりで彼の耳を突き通し、彼は永遠に主人に仕える。
7And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
7人が娘を女奴隷として売った場合、彼女は男奴隷のように出て行くことはない。
8If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
8自分の妻と定めた主人が彼女を気に入らないなら、彼女が贖い出されることを認めなさい。主人は彼女を裏切ったので、外国の民に売る権利はない。
9And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
9主人が彼女を自分の息子の妻とするなら、娘として扱う。
10If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
10主人が別の妻をめとっても、彼女の食物、衣服、夫婦としての権利を減らしてはならない。
11If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
11これら三つを与えないなら、彼女は金を払わず、自由の身となって出て行く。
12Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
12人を打って死なせた者は、必ず死刑に処せられる。
13If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
13しかし故意でなく、神がそのことの起こるのを許されたのであれば、わたしは彼が逃れる場所を定める。
14But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
14人が悪意をもって隣人を襲い、故意に殺したなら、わたしの祭壇からでも連れ出して死刑に処しなさい。
15Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
15自分の父や母を打つ者は、必ず死刑に処せられる。
16Whoever kidnaps another man must be put to death, whether he sells him or the man is found in his possession.
16人を誘拐し、彼を売る者、あるいは彼を自分の手元に置いているのが見つかった者は、必ず死刑に処せられる。
17Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
17自分の父や母をのろう者は、必ず死刑に処せられる。
18If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
18男たちが争い、一方が他方を石かこぶしで打ち、その人が死なずに床に伏せ、
19then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
19その人が起き上がり、杖をついて外を歩けるようになれば、打った者は罰を免れる。ただし、働けなかった期間の損失を償い、完全に治るまで治療の費用を負担する。
20If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
20人が自分の男奴隷や女奴隷を杖で打ち、その者が彼の手の下で死んだ場合、彼は必ず罰せられる。
21However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property.
21しかし、その奴隷が一日か二日後まで生きているなら、主人は罰せられない。その奴隷は主人の財産だからである。
22If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
22男たちが争って身重の女を傷つけ、子を早く産ませたが、ほかに害がなければ、加害者は女の夫が要求し、裁判官が認める罰金を払う。
23But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
23しかし、害が生じたなら、命には命、
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
24目には目、歯には歯、手には手、足には足、
25burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
25やけどにはやけど、傷には傷、打ち身には打ち身をもって償う。
26If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.
26人が男奴隷または女奴隷の目を打ってつぶしたなら、その目の償いとして奴隷を自由にしなさい。
27And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
27男奴隷または女奴隷の歯を打ち折ったなら、その歯の償いとして奴隷を自由にしなさい。
28If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.
28牛が男や女を角で突いて死なせた場合、その牛は必ず石で打ち殺され、その肉は食べてはならない。しかし牛の持ち主は責任を問われない。
29But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.
29しかし、もしその牛に以前から角で突く癖があり、その持ち主が警告されていたにもかかわらず、それをつないでおかず、それが男や女を殺したなら、その牛は石で打ち殺され、その持ち主も死刑に処せられる。
30If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.
30持ち主に身代金が課せられたなら、自分の命の贖いとして、課せられた額をすべて支払う。
31If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule.
31それが息子を突いた場合でも、娘を突いた場合でも、この定めに従って彼に行われる。
32If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
32牛が男奴隷または女奴隷を突いたなら、牛の持ち主は奴隷の主人に銀三十シェケルを払い、牛は石で打ち殺す。
33If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
33人が穴を開けるか、あるいは穴を掘ってそれに覆いをせず、そこに牛やろばが落ちた場合、
34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.
34穴の持ち主は損害を償い、動物の持ち主に代金を払う。死んだ動物は穴の持ち主のものとなる。
35If a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal.
35ある人の牛が他の人の牛を傷つけ、それが死んだ場合、彼らは生きている牛を売り、その代金を分け合う。また、死んだ動物も分け合う。
36But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
36その牛に以前から人を突く癖があり、持ち主がつないでおかなかったことが知られているなら、生きた牛をもって死んだ牛を償う。死んだ牛は彼のものとなる。
