Ang Batas sa mga Alipin(A)
21 “Ito ang tuntuning ibibigay mo sa bayang Israel. 2 Kapag(B) ang isang tao'y bumili ng aliping Hebreo, maglilingkod ito sa kanya sa loob ng anim na taon. Sa ikapito, makakalaya na siya nang hindi kailangang tubusin. 3 Kung ang alipin ay walang asawa nang bilhin, aalis siyang walang asawa. Ngunit kung may asawa siya nang mabili, kasama niya sa pag-alis ang kanyang asawa. 4 Kung sa kanyang pagkaalipin ay binigyan siya ng magiging asawa at nagkaanak sila, ang babae at ang mga anak ay maiiwan sa amo; siya lamang ang lalaya. 5 Ngunit kung ayaw na niyang umalis sapagkat mahal niya ang kanyang asawa't mga anak, gayon din ang kanyang amo 6 patutunayan niya ito sa harapan ng Diyos: dadalhin siya sa pintuan, sa tabi ng poste ng pinto at bubutasan ang isa niyang tainga. Sa gayon, magiging alipin siya habang buhay.
7 “Kapag ipinagbili ng ama ang kanyang anak na babae upang maging alipin, hindi ito palalayain tulad ng aliping lalaki. 8 Ngunit kung ang babae'y ipinagbili bilang asawa ng kanyang amo, subalit siya'y hindi nito kinaluguran, siya ay maaaring ipatubos sa kanyang mga kamag-anak. Walang karapatan ang kanyang amo na siya'y ipagbili sa mga dayuhan sapagkat hindi ito naging makatarungan sa babae. 9 Kung ang babae nama'y binili para sa anak ng amo, ituturing siya nito na parang tunay na anak. 10 At kung mag-asawa ng iba ang lalaki, ang babae ay patuloy na bibigyan ng kanyang pagkain, damit at patuloy na sisipingan ng kanyang asawang lalaki. 11 Kapag hindi tinupad ng lalaki ang tatlong bagay na ito, dapat palayain ang babae nang hindi na kailangang tubusin.
Mga Batas tungkol sa mga Karahasan
12 “Sinumang(C) manakit at makapatay sa kanyang kapwa ay dapat ring patayin. 13 Ngunit(D) kung hindi sinadya o binalak ang pagpatay at ito'y hinayaang mangyari ng Diyos, ang nakamatay ay maaaring magtago sa lugar na itatakda ko sa ganitong pangyayari. 14 Ngunit kung ang pagpatay ay sinasadya, darakpin ang pumatay at papatayin kahit magtago pa siya sa aking altar.
15 “Sinumang magbuhat ng kamay sa kanyang ama o ina ay dapat patayin.
16 “Sinumang(E) dumukot ng kapwa upang ipagbili o alipinin ay dapat patayin.
17 “Sinumang(F) magmura sa kanyang ama o ina ay dapat patayin.
18-19 “Ang manuntok o mamukpok ng bato sa pag-aaway ay hindi paparusahan kung ang sinuntok o pinukpok ay hindi namatay at muling nakalakad kahit nakatungkod. Ngunit kung ang sinuntok o pinukpok ay maratay, siya ay aalagaan ng nanakit at babayaran pa ang panahong hindi niya naipagtrabaho.
20 “Kapag sinaktan ng isang tao ang kanyang alipin, maging babae o lalaki, at ito'y namatay noon din, paparusahan ang taong iyon. 21 Ngunit kung ang alipin ay mabuhay ng isa o dalawang araw, hindi paparusahan ang amo sapagkat kanyang ari-arian ang alipin.
22 “Kung ang nag-aaway ay makasakit ng nagdadalang-tao at dahil doo'y nakunan ito, ngunit walang ibang pinsala, ang nakasakit ay magbabayad ng halagang hihingin ng asawa ng babae ayon sa kapasyahan ng mga hukom. 23 Ngunit kung may iba pang pinsalang tinamo ang babae, paparusahan ang nakasakit: buhay din ang kabayaran sa buhay, 24 mata(G) sa mata, ngipin sa ngipin, kamay sa kamay, paa sa paa, 25 sunog sa sunog, sugat sa sugat, galos sa galos.
26 “Kapag pinalo ng amo ang kanyang alipin, lalaki o babae, at ito'y nabulag, palalayain niya ang aliping iyon bilang kabayaran sa mata nito. 27 Ganoon din ang gagawin kung mabungi ng amo ang ngipin ng kanyang alipin, bilang kabayaran naman sa ngipin nito.
Ang Pananagutan ng May-ari
28 “Kapag ang isang baka ay nanuwag at nakapatay ng tao, babatuhin ang baka hanggang sa mamatay, ngunit huwag kakanin ang karne nito; walang pananagutan ang may-ari ng baka. 29 Kung ito'y dati nang nanunuwag ngunit pinabayaan pa ng may-ari matapos tawagin ang kanyang pansin, papatayin ang baka gayundin ang may-ari kapag nakamatay ang baka. 30 Gayunman, kung lalagyan ng halaga ang buhay ng namatay, babayaran ito ng may-ari at hindi na siya papatayin. 31 Kahit bata ang mapatay ng baka, iyan din ang tuntunin. 32 Kung alipin ang napatay sa suwag, ang amo ng alipin ay babayaran ng may-ari ng baka; tatlumpung pirasong pilak ang ibabayad at babatuhin ang baka hanggang sa mamatay.
33 “Kapag naiwang bukás ang isang balon, o kaya'y may humukay ng balon ngunit hindi tinakpan, at may baka o asnong nahulog doon, 34 ang nahulog na hayop ay babayaran ng may-ari ng balon ngunit kanya na ang hayop. 35 Kapag ang napatay naman sa suwag ay baka ng iba, ipagbibili ang nanuwag at ang pinagbilhan ay paghahatian ng dalawang may-ari, pati ang karne ng bakang napatay. 36 Ngunit kung ito'y dating nanunuwag at hindi ikinulong ng may-ari, papalitan niya ang napatay na baka at ito nama'y kanya na.
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.
