出埃及 21
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
如何对待奴仆
21 “你要向百姓颁布下列法令。 2 你若买一个希伯来人当奴仆,他必须服侍你六年,到第七年便可以获得自由,不用支付任何赎金。 3 倘若买他的时候,他是单身,那么期满的时候,他可以单身离开。如果他跟妻子一同被买,就可以带妻子一起离开。 4 倘若主人给他娶了妻,妻子生了儿女,那么期满的时候,他只能单独离开,他的妻儿要归主人。 5 倘若奴仆说,‘我爱我的主人和我的妻子儿女,我不愿意离开他们做自由人。’ 6 主人就要带他到审判官面前,让他靠着门或门框,用锥子为他穿耳洞。这样,他就要永远服侍主人。 7 倘若有人把女儿卖为奴婢,她不可像男仆那样离开。 8 倘若买她的主人本想把她留在身边,后来却不喜欢她,就应当让她赎身。主人无权把她转卖给外族人,因为是主人对她不守信用。 9 倘若是买来给自己的儿子,就要把她当作自己的女儿一般看待。 10 倘若有人娶了奴婢为妻,后来又另娶,他还是要照常供给她饭食和衣服,并履行同房的义务。 11 倘若主人不履行以上的三个条件,奴婢就可以随时离开,不用缴付任何赎金。
如何处理人身伤害
12 “打人致死的,必须被处死。 13 倘若不是故意杀人,而是上帝许可那人死在他手里,他就可以逃往我指定的地方。 14 倘若是蓄意杀人,就算他逃到我的祭坛那里,也要把他拉出来处死。 15 殴打父母的,必须被处死。 16 绑架他人贩卖或自用的,必须被处死。 17 咒骂父母的,必须被处死。 18 倘若斗殴时一方用拳头或石块致另一方受伤、躺卧在床,但不至于死, 19 日后能起床扶着拐杖走路,伤人者便不算有罪,但要赔偿受伤者停工期间的损失,并要负责医好他。
20 “倘若有人用棍子打他的仆婢,导致他们当场死亡,他必须受惩罚。 21 倘若伤者过了一两天才死去,主人就可免刑,因为死者是他的财产。 22 倘若有人彼此斗殴,伤了孕妇,导致早产,但未造成其他伤害,伤人者要按她丈夫所要求的金额,经审判官判定以后,如数赔偿。 23 倘若孕妇身体其他部位也受了伤,伤人者就要以命偿命, 24 以眼还眼,以牙还牙,以手还手,以脚还脚, 25 以烧伤还烧伤,以创伤还创伤,以殴打还殴打。
26 “主人若打坏仆婢的一只眼睛,就要因仆婢眼睛受伤而使仆婢得自由。 27 同样,倘若他打掉了仆婢的一颗牙齿,也要因此而释放他。
28 “倘若有牛抵死了人,要用石头打死那头牛,并且不可吃它的肉,牛的主人可算无罪。 29 但倘若牛常常用角伤人,并且已经有人向牛的主人投诉,他却不拴好牛,以致牛抵死了人,就要用石块打死牛,并处死主人。 30 若判他以罚款抵命,不论金额多少,他都得照付。 31 牛若抵死了别人的儿女,也要照以上的条例办理。 32 牛若抵死了别人的仆婢,牛的主人要赔三百三十克银子[a]给那仆婢的主人,并要用石头打死牛。 33 倘若有人打开井盖或挖了井后不把井口盖好,以致有牛或驴掉进井里, 34 井的主人就要赔偿牲畜的主人,死牲畜则归井的主人。 35 倘若某人的牛抵死了别人的牛,两家的主人就要卖掉活牛,平分所得,同时也要平分那头死掉的牛。 36 倘若素知牛好抵,主人却没有拴好它,他就要以牛还牛,死牛则归他。

Leyes acerca de los esclavos(A)
21 »Éstas son las leyes que les darás:
2 »Si compras un esclavo hebreo, trabajará durante seis años, pero al séptimo año quedará libre, sin que tenga que pagar nada por su libertad. 3 Si llegó solo, se irá solo; si tenía mujer, su mujer se irá con él; 4 si su amo le da una mujer, y ella le da hijos o hijas, la mujer y los hijos serán de su amo y el esclavo se irá solo. 5 Pero si el esclavo no acepta su libertad porque ama a su mujer, a sus hijos y a su amo, 6 entonces el amo lo llevará ante Dios, lo arrimará a la puerta o al marco de la puerta, y con un punzón le atravesará la oreja. Así será esclavo suyo para siempre.
7 »Si alguien vende a su hija como esclava, ella no saldrá libre como los esclavos varones. 8 Si el amo decide no tomarla por esposa, porque la muchacha no le gusta, deberá permitir que paguen su rescate; pero aunque la rechace, no podrá venderla a ningún extranjero. 9 Si la da por esposa a su hijo, deberá tratarla como a una hija. 10 Si toma otra esposa, no deberá reducirle a la primera ni la comida, ni la ropa, ni sus derechos de esposa. 11 Pero si no le da ninguna de estas tres cosas, ella quedará libre, sin tener que pagar nada por su libertad.
Leyes contra acciones violentas
12 »El que hiera a alguien, y lo mate, será condenado a muerte. 13 Pero si no lo hizo a propósito, sino que de Dios estaba que muriera, yo te diré después a qué lugar podrá ir a refugiarse. 14 Pero al que se enoje con su prójimo y lo mate a sangre fría, lo buscarás aunque se refugie en mi altar, y lo condenarás a muerte.
15 »El que hiera a su padre o a su madre, será condenado a muerte.
16 »El que secuestre a una persona, ya sea que la haya vendido o que aún la tenga en su poder, será condenado a muerte.
17 »El que insulte a su padre o a su madre, será condenado a muerte.
18 »En casos de peleas, si un hombre hiere a otro de una pedrada o de un puñetazo, y lo hace caer en cama, pero no lo mata, 19 el que hirió será declarado inocente sólo si el herido se levanta y puede salir a la calle con ayuda de un bastón, pero tendrá que pagarle las curaciones y el tiempo perdido.
20 »Si alguien golpea con un palo a su esclavo o esclava, y lo mata, deberá hacérsele pagar su crimen. 21 Pero si vive un día o más, ya no se le castigará, pues el esclavo es de su propiedad.
22 »Si dos hombres se pelean y llegan a lastimar a una mujer embarazada, haciéndola abortar, pero sin poner en peligro su vida, el culpable deberá pagar de multa lo que el marido de la mujer exija, según la decisión de los jueces. 23 Pero si la vida de la mujer es puesta en peligro, se exigirá vida por vida, 24 ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie, 25 quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.
26 »Si alguien golpea en el ojo a su esclavo o esclava, y lo deja tuerto, tendrá que darle la libertad a cambio de su ojo. 27 Si le tumba un diente, también tendrá que darle la libertad a cambio de su diente.
Leyes en caso de accidentes
28 »Si un buey embiste a un hombre o a una mujer, y lo mata, se matará al buey a pedradas y no se comerá su carne, pero no se castigará al dueño del buey. 29 Pero si el buey tenía ya la costumbre de embestir, y llega a matar a alguien, se le matará a pedradas, lo mismo que al dueño, si es que el dueño lo sabía pero no hacía caso. 30 Si en vez de la pena de muerte le imponen una multa, tendrá que pagar la multa que le impongan a cambio de su vida. 31 Esta misma ley vale en caso de que el embestido sea un muchacho o una muchacha. 32 Y si el buey embiste a un esclavo o a una esclava, se matará al buey a pedradas, y al amo del esclavo o de la esclava se le darán como pago treinta monedas de plata.
33 »Si alguien deja abierto un pozo, o hace un pozo y no lo tapa, y en él se cae un buey o un asno, 34 el dueño del pozo tendrá que compensar al dueño del animal por esa pérdida, pero podrá quedarse con el animal muerto.
35 »Si el buey de alguien embiste y mata al buey de otro hombre, venderán el buey vivo y se repartirán por mitad el dinero y la carne del buey muerto. 36 Pero si se sabe que el buey ha tenido la costumbre de embestir y su dueño no hacía caso, tendrá que compensar al otro dueño con un buey vivo a cambio del muerto, y el buey muerto será para él.
Exodus 21
New Century Version
Laws for Living
21 Then God said to Moses, “These are the laws for living that you will give to the Israelites:
2 “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve you for six years. In the seventh year you are to set him free, and he will have to pay nothing. 3 If he is not married when he becomes your slave, he must leave without a wife. But if he is married when he becomes your slave, he may take his wife with him. 4 If the slave’s master gives him a wife, and she gives birth to sons or daughters, the woman and her children will belong to the master. When the slave is set free, only he may leave.
5 “But if the slave says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children, and I don’t want to go free,’ 6 then the slave’s master must take him to God. The master is to take him to a door or doorframe and punch a hole through the slave’s ear using a sharp tool. Then the slave will serve that master all his life.
7 “If a man sells his daughter as a slave, the rules for setting her free are different from the rules for setting the male slaves free. 8 If the master wanted to marry her but then decided he was not pleased with her, he must let one of her close relatives buy her back. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has treated her unfairly. 9 If the man who bought her promises to let the woman marry his son, he must treat her as a daughter. 10 If the man who bought her marries another woman, he must not keep his first wife from having food or clothing or sexual relations. 11 If he does not give her these three things, she may go free, and she owes him no money.
Laws About Injuries
12 “Anyone who hits a person and kills him must be put to death. 13 But if a person kills someone accidentally, God allowed that to happen, so the person must go to a place I will choose. 14 But if someone plans and murders another person on purpose, put him to death, even if he has run to my altar for safety.
15 “Anyone who hits his father or his mother must be put to death.
16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and either sells him as a slave or still has him when he is caught must be put to death.
17 “Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.
18 “If two men argue, and one hits the other with a rock or with his fist, the one who is hurt but not killed might have to stay in bed. 19 Later if he is able to get up and walk around outside with his walking stick, the one who hit him is not to be punished. But he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time, and he must support the injured man until he is completely healed.
20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a stick, and the slave dies on the spot, the owner must be punished. 21 But if the slave gets well after a day or two, the owner will not be punished since the slave belongs to him.
22 “Suppose two men are fighting and hit a pregnant woman, causing the baby to come out. If there is no further injury, the man who caused the accident must pay money—whatever amount the woman’s husband says and the court allows. 23 But if there is further injury, then the punishment that must be paid is life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 “If a man hits his male or female slave in the eye, and the eye is blinded, the man is to free the slave to pay for the eye. 27 If a master knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, the man is to free the slave to pay for the tooth.
28 “If a man’s bull kills a man or woman, you must kill that bull by throwing stones at it, and you should not eat the bull. But the owner of the bull is not guilty. 29 However, suppose the bull has hurt people in the past and the owner, though warned, did not keep it in a pen. Then if it kills a man or woman, the bull must be stoned to death, and the owner must also be put to death. 30 But if the family of the dead person accepts money, the one who owned the bull may buy back his life, but he must pay whatever is demanded. 31 Use this same law if the bull kills a person’s son or daughter. 32 If the bull kills a male or female slave, the owner must pay the master the price for a new slave, or twelve ounces of silver, and the bull must also be stoned to death.
33 “If a man takes the cover off a pit, or digs a pit and does not cover it, and another man’s ox or donkey comes and falls into it, 34 the owner of the pit must pay the owner of the animal for the loss. The dead animal will belong to the one who pays.
35 “If a man’s bull kills another man’s bull, they must sell the bull that is alive. Both men will get half of the money and half of the bull that was killed. 36 But if a person’s bull has hurt other animals in the past and the owner did not keep it in a pen, that owner must pay bull for bull, and the dead animal is his.
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.
