Exodus 21
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.
1Hae daan hae nihcae hmaa ah suem paeh;
2If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
2Hebru kami to tamna ah na qan nahaeloe, anih mah saning tarukto thung na tok to sah tih; toe saning sarihto naah loe, atho tidoeh hni ai ah loihsak han oh.
3If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.
3Angmah bueng tamna ah om nahaeloe, angmah bueng loih han oh; to kami loe zu tawn nahaeloe, a zu hoi nawnto loih tih.
4If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
4Angmah ih angraeng mah anih han zu to lak pae moe, caa nongpa maw, to tih ai boeh loe canu maw sah nahaeloe, anih ih caanawk loe angmah angraeng ih hmuen ah om tih; a tamna loe angmah bueng ah loih tih.
5But if the servant shall plainly say: I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free;
5Toe a tamna mah, Ka Angraeng, ka zu hoi ka caanawk to palung pongah, tacawt han koeh ai, tiah thui nahaeloe,
6then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
6angmah ih angraeng mah anih to lokcaekkungnawk hmaa ah caeh haih tih; anih mah khongkha, to tih ai boeh loe khongkha tung ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih ueloe, angmah ih angraeng mah a tamna ih naa to moihin aqawthaih phungvang hoiah aqawt pae tih, to tiah anih loe a hing thung angraeng ih tamna ah om tih.
7And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
7Kami maeto mah a canu to tamna ah zaw nahaeloe, to nongpata to nongpa baktiah prawt sut han om ai.
8If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed; to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
8Anih qankung angraeng mah to nongpata to zu ah lak han koeh ai nahaeloe, angmah hoi angmah to angkrangsak ah; angraeng mah to nongpata to aling pongah, kalah prae kami khaeah zaw thai mak ai.
9And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
9To nongpata to a capa han paek nahaeloe, anih to a canu baktiah khet han oh.
10If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her conjugal rights, shall he not diminish.
10Anih mah kalah nongpata to zu ah la let nahaeloe, hmaloe ih a zu nongpata ih caaknaek maw, to tih ai boeh loe sava sak nathuem ih khukbuen maw, khring pae han om ai.
11And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.
11Hae hmuen thumto sah ai nahaeloe, tangka paek angaih ai ah, nongpata to loih han oh.
12He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall surely be put to death.
12Minawk hum kami loe, paduek han oh.
13And if a man lie not in wait, but God cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee.
13Pacaenghaih om ai ah, anih ban ah Sithaw mah to kami to paek nahaeloe, anih cawnhaih ahmuen ka suek pae han.
14And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die.
14Toe pacaenghaih hoiah a imtaeng kami to hum nahaeloe, ka hmaicam ah abuep cadoeh anih loe duek han oh.
15And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
15Amno hoi ampa hum kami loe, paduek han oh.
16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
16Kami paqu kami loe, kami to zawh maw, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ban ah maw suem cadoeh, paduek han oh.
17And he that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
17Amno hoi ampa tangoeng kami loe paduek han oh.
18And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed;
18Kami hnik loe angpan hoi moe, maeto mah kalah maeto thlung hoiah vah maw, to tih ai boeh loe ban pathluem moe a thong, toe to kami loe dueh ai, iihkhun nuiah angsong sut,
19if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
19toe to kami loe angthawk moe, cunghet hoiah lam caeh thaih nahaeloe, anih bop kami to loihsak han oh; toe to kami loe ahmaa ca nahaeloe, ngantui ai ah a oh nathung, patoh ih kaboeng hmuennawk boih to laem tih.
20And if a man smite his bondman, or his bondwoman, with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
20Kami maeto mah a tamna nongpa maw, nongpata maw boh pongah dueh nahaeloe, anih to danpaek han oh.
21Notwithstanding if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his money.
21Toe tamna to dueh ai moe, ni hnetto maw, ni thumto maw oh pacoengah angthawk let nahaeloe, a tamna loe anih ih phoisa ah oh pongah, bop kami to danpaek han om ai.
22And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
22Nongpa hnik loe angpan hoi naah, zokpomh nongpata to nganbawh kana paek hoi moeng pongah, nawkta to khrah akoep ai ah zun moeng nahaeloe, nongpata ih sava mah thuih ih baktih toengah, danpaek han oh; lokcaekkung mah thuih ih baktih toengah paek tih.
23But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
23Toe kalah ahmaa casak nahaeloe, hinghaih to hinghaih hoiah pathok han oh.
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
24Mik pongah mik, haa pongah haa, ban pongah ban, khok pongah khok,

25hmai hoi thlaek pongah hmai hoi thlaek, ahmaa caksak pongah ahmaa caksak, nganbawh kana paek pongah nganbawh kana paek han oh.
26And if a man smite the eye of his bondman, or the eye of his bondwoman, and destroy it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
26Kami maeto mah a tamna nongpa maw, nongpata maw mik ah boh pongah, mik amro nahaeloe, mik amrosak kami to danpaekhaih thung hoi loihsak han oh.
27And if he smite out his bondman's tooth, or his bondwoman's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

28And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
28Maitaw tae mah nongpa maw, nongpata maw takhueng moe, dueh nahaeloe, maitaw tae to thlung hoi vah maat han oh; to maitaw moi to caak han om ai; toe maitaw tawnkung loe loihsak han oh.
29But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and warning hath been given to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
29Toe to maitaw tae loe canghnii ah kami daeng vai boeh, tito maitaw tawnkung khaeah thuih pae boeh, toe tawnkung mah kahoih ah khenzawn ai pongah, nongpa maw, nongpata maw takhueng maat bae nahaeloe, maitaw tae to thlung hoi vah maat pacoengah, tawnkung doeh paduek han oh.
30If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

32If the ox gore a bondman or a bondwoman, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

35And if one man's ox hurt another's, so that it dieth; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide.

36Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and its owner hath not kept it in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own.
