Exodus 21
Maori Bible
21 A ko nga whakariteritenga enei e whakatakotoria e koe ki to ratou aroaro.
2 Ki te hoki koe i tetahi pononga Hiperu, e ono nga tau e mahi i a ia: a i te whitu ka haere noa atu, kaua he utu.
3 Ki te mea he takakau ia i tona haerenga mai, me haere atu ano he takakau: ki te mea he wahine tana, ko raua ko tana wahine e haere.
4 Ki te mea na tona ariki te wahine i hoatu ki a ia, a ka whanau a raua tama, tamahine ranei; ma tona ariki te wahine ratou ko ana tamariki, ko ia anake e haere.
5 A ki te mea matanui te pononga, E aroha ana ahau ki toku ariki, ki taku wahine, ki aku tamariki; e kore ahau e haere noa atu:
6 Na, me kawe ia e tona ariki ki te Atua; me kawe hoki ia e ia ki te tatau, ki te pou ranei o te tatau: a ka pokaia tona taringa e tona ariki ki te oka; a ka oti iho ia hei kaimahi mana.
7 Ki te hokona atu hoki e tetahi tangata tana tamahine hei pononga, e kore e rite tona haerenga ki waho ki te haerenga o nga pononga tane.
8 Ki te kino ia ki te titiro a tona ariki, i taumau nei i a ia mana, na, me whakahoki ia mo tetahi utu: e kore e ahei te hoko i a ia ki tetahi iwi ke; mona hoki i tinihanga ki a ia.
9 A ki te taumautia ia e ia ma tana tama, kia rite ki te tikanga ki nga tamahine tupu tana e mea ai ki a ia.
10 Ki te tango ia i tetahi atu wahine mana kaua e whakaititia e ia te kai ma tera, te kakahu mona, me ta raua moe tahi.
11 A ki te kahore enei mea e toru e meatia e ia ki a ia, na, me haere noa atu ia, kaua he moni.
12 Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata kia mate, me tino whakamate ano ia.
13 A ki te kahore tetahi e whanga atu, a ka mea te Atua kia tupono ki tona ringa; na, maku e whakarite ki a koe te wahi e rere ai ia.
14 Tena ko tenei i poka noa te tangata ki tona hoa, ki te kohuru tinihanga i a ia; me tango ia e koe i taku aata, kia mate ai ia.
15 Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e patu ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.
16 Ko te tangata hoki e tahae ana i tetahi tangata, a hokona ana e ia, e kitea ana ranei ki tona ringa, me tino whakamate ano ia.
17 Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e kanga ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.
18 Ki te whawhai hoki etahi tangata ki a raua a ka akina tona hoa e tetahi ki te kohatu, ka motokia ranei, a kahore ia e mate, engari ka takoto i runga i te moenga;
19 Ki te ara ake ia, a ka haereere ki waho me te toko i tana tokotoko, katahi ka kore te hara o te tangata i patua ai ia; otiia me utu e ia tona whakamangeretanga ki te mahi, me mea hoki kia ata rongoatia kia ora ai.
20 Ki te patu hoki te tangata i tana pononga tane, i tana pononga wahine ranei, ki te rakau, a ka mate i raro iho i tona ringa; me ata takitaki tona matenga.
21 Otiia ki te ora ia, kotahi, e rua ranei, nga ra, e kore e takitakina: no te mea ko tana moni ia.
22 Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a ratou, a ka whara tetahi wahine e hapu ana, a ka materoto tana tamaiti, otiia kahore atu he he, me tango he utu i a ia, ara ta te tahu o te wahine e whakarite ai ki a ia; hei ta nga kaiwhakawa e mea ai tana e hom ai ai.
23 Engari ki te mate, na, me homai e koe he mate hei utu mo te mate,
24 He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho, he ringa mo te ringa, he waewae mo te waewae,
25 He wera mo te wera, he motu mo te motu, he karawarawa mo te karawarawa.
26 Ki te patua e te tangata te kanohi o tana pononga tane, te kanohi ranei o tana pononga wahine, a ka matapotia; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona kanohi.
27 A ki te patua e ia kia marere te niho o tana pononga tane, te niho ranei o tana pononga wahine; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona niho.
28 Ki te werohia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, e te kau, a ka mate; me tino aki te kau ki te kohatu, kaua ano hoki ona kikokiko e kainga; a ka tukua noatia atu te rangatira o te kau.
29 Otiia ki te mea he kau wero ia no mua, a kua whakaaturia ki tona rangatira, a kahore ia e tiaki i a ia, a ka mate i a ia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei; me aki te kau ki te kohatu, me whakamate ano hoki tona rangatira.
30 Ki te whakaritea kia homai e ia he moni, me homai e ia hei utu mo tona ora te mea i whakaritea ki a ia.
31 Ki te mea he tama, he kotiro ranei i werohia e ia, kia rite ano ki tenei tikanga te meatanga ki a ia.
32 Ki te wero te kau i tetahi pononga tane, i tetahi pononga wahine ranei; kia toru tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki to raua ariki, me aki hoki te kau ki te kohatu.
33 Ki te whakatuwhera hoki te tangata i tetahi poka, ki te keria ranei e te tangata tetahi poka, a e kore e hipokina e ia, a ka taka he kau, he kaihe ranei ki roto;
34 Me utu e te tangata nana te poka, me homai he moni e ia ki to raua ariki; a mana te mea mate.
35 Ki te tukia te kau a tetahi tangata e te kau e tetahi, a ka mate; na, me hoko e raua te kau ora, ka wehe ai i ona tutu; me wehe ano hoki e raua te mea kua mate.
36 Otiia ki te mea i mohiotia he kau wero ia no mua, a kahore i tiakina e tona ariki, me utu e ia te kau ki te kau; a mana te mea mate.
Exodus 21
New International Version
Exodus 21
New International Version
21 “These are the laws(A) you are to set before them:
Hebrew Servants(B)(C)
2 “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. 3 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. 4 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.
5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’(F) 6 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)
7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 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. 9 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.
