Ang Pagtrato sa mga Alipin(A)

21 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Ito ang mga tuntuning ipapatupad mo sa mga Israelita:

“Kung bibili kayo ng mga aliping Hebreo, maglilingkod siya sa inyo sa loob ng anim na taon. Pero sa ikapitong taon, lalaya siya sa pagkaalipin niya na walang babayaran. Kung binili nʼyo siya na wala pang asawa at sa katagalan ay nakapag-asawa, siya lang ang lalaya sa ikapitong taon. Pero kung may asawa siya nang bilhin ninyo, lalaya rin ang kanyang asawa kasama niya. Kung binigyan siya ng amo niya ng mapapangasawa at nagkaanak sila, lalaya siya sa ikapitong taon, pero ang asawa at ang mga anak niya ay maiiwan sa kanyang amo.

“Pero kung sasabihin ng alipin na minamahal niya ang kanyang amo, ang asawaʼt mga anak niya, at hindi niya gustong lumaya, dadalhin siya ng amo niya sa presensya ng Dios[a] doon sa may pintuan o hamba ng lugar na pinagsasambahan. Bubutasan ng amo niya ang isa sa tainga niya at magiging alipin siya ng amo niya magpakailanman.

“Kung ipagbibili ng isang tao ang anak niyang babae para gawing alipin, hindi siya lalaya sa ikapitong taon kagaya ng lalaking alipin. Kung hindi masisiyahan ang amo niyang bumili sa kanya, pwede siyang tubusin ng pamilya niya dahil hindi pananagutan ng amo niya ang responsibilidad sa kanya. Pero hindi siya pwedeng ipagbili ng amo niya sa mga dayuhan. Kung ibibigay ng amo niya ang aliping ito sa kanyang anak bilang asawa, kailangan niyang ituring siya na anak niyang babae. 10 Kung gagawin niyang asawa ang alipin, at mag-aasawa pa siya ng iba pang babae, kailangang ipagpatuloy niya ang pagbibigay sa kanya ng mga pagkain at damit, at ang pagsiping sa kanya. 11 Kung hindi niya masusunod ang tatlong bagay na ito, papayagan niyang lumaya ang babae nang walang bayad.

Mga Kautusan Tungkol sa mga Krimen

12 “Ang sinumang makakasakit ng tao at mapatay ito, papatayin din siya. 13 Pero kung hindi niya ito sinadya at pinayagan ko itong mangyari, makakatakas siya sa lugar na ituturo ko sa kanya. 14 Pero kung sinadya niya at plinano ang pagpatay, patayin nʼyo siya kahit na lumapit pa siya sa altar ko.

15 “Ang sinumang mananakit[b] sa kanyang ama o ina ay papatayin.

16 “Ang sinumang dudukot sa isang tao ay papatayin kahit na ipinagbili na niya o hindi ang kanyang dinukot.

17 “Ang sinumang lumapastangan sa kanyang ama at ina ay papatayin.

18 “Halimbawang nag-away ang dalawang tao, sinuntok o binato ang kanyang kaaway at siyaʼy nabalda at hindi na makabangon pero hindi namatay, 19 ngunit kung sa bandang huliʼy makabangon at makalakad ang napilay, kahit na nakabaston pa siya, ang taong nanakit sa kanyaʼy hindi dapat parusahan. Pero kailangang magbayad ang tao sa kanya sa nasayang na panahon, at kailangan siyang alagaan ng taong nanakit hanggang sa gumaling siya.

20 “Kapag hinagupit ng tungkod ng sinuman ang kanyang alipin, lalaki man o babae, at agad itong namatay, parurusahan siya. 21 Pero kung makakabangon ang alipin pagkalipas ng isa o dalawang araw, hindi siya parurusahan dahil pagmamay-ari niya ang alipin.

22 “Kung may nag-aaway at nasaktan ang isang buntis, at napaanak ito nang wala pa sa oras,[c] pero walang masamang nangyari sa kanya, pagbabayarin ang nakasakit ayon sa halagang hinihingi ng asawa at pinayagan ng hukom. 23 Pero kung malubha ang nangyari sa babae, parurusahan ang responsable katulad ng nangyari sa babae. Kung namatay ang babae, papatayin din siya. 24 Kung mabulag ang babae, bubulagin din siya. Kung mabungi ang ngipin nito, bubungiin din siya. Kung nabali ang kamay o paa, babaliin din ang kanyang kamay o paa. 25 Kung napaso, papasuin din siya. Kung nasugatan, susugatan din siya. Kung nagalusan, gagalusan din siya.

26 “Kung sinuntok ng amo ang kanyang aliping lalaki o babae sa mata at nabulag ito, palalayain niya ito sa pagkaalipin bilang bayad sa mata na binulag niya. 27 Kung nabungi niya ang ngipin ng kanyang aliping lalaki o babae, palalayain din niya ito sa pagkaalipin bilang bayad sa ngiping nabungi.

28 “Kung ang toro ay nakasuwag ng lalaki o babae at namatay siya, kailangang batuhin ang toro hanggang sa mamatay, at huwag kakainin ang karne nito, pero walang pananagutan dito ang may-ari ng toro. 29 Pero kung nasanay nang manuwag ng tao ang toro at binigyan na ng babala ang may-ari tungkol dito, pero hindi niya ito ikinulong at nakapatay ito ng tao, kailangang batuhin ito hanggang sa mamatay at papatayin din ang may-ari. 30 Pero kung pagbabayarin ang may-ari para mabuhay siya, kailangang bayaran niya nang buo ang halagang hinihingi sa kanya. 31 Ganito rin ang tuntunin kung nakasuwag ang toro ng bata, lalaki man o babae. 32 Kung nakasuwag ang toro ng alipin, lalaki man o babae, kailangang magbayad ang may-ari nito ng 30 pirasong pilak sa amo ng alipin, at kailangang batuhin ang toro.

33 “Kung may taong nagtanggal ng takip ng balon o taong naghukay ng balon at hindi niya ito tinakpan, at may nahulog na baka o asno sa balong iyon, 34 dapat magbayad ang may-ari ng balon sa may-ari ng hayop, at magiging kanya na ang hayop.

35 “Kung makapatay ang toro ng kapwa toro, ipagbibili ng parehong may-ari ang buhay na toro at hahatiin ang pinagbilhan nito. Hahatiin din nila ang karne ng namatay na toro. 36 Pero kung nasanay nang manuwag ang torong nakapatay at hindi ito ikinulong ng may-ari, magbabayad ang may-ari ng isang toro kapalit ng namatay, at magiging kanya na ang namatay na toro.

21 ‘These are the laws you are to set before them:

Hebrew servants

‘If 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. 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. 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.

‘But if the servant declares, “I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,” then his master must take him before the judges.[a] He shall take him to the door or the door-post and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

‘If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 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. 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. 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. 13 However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate. 14 But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death.

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, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession.

17 ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.

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.

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 and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, 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, 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 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. 31 This law also applies if the bull gores a son or a daughter. 32 If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels[f] of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull is to be stoned to death.

33 ‘If anyone uncovers a pit 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, the owner must pay, animal for animal, and take the dead animal in exchange.
