¹Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

¹وهذه هي الاحكام التي تضع امامهم.

²If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

²اذا اشتريت عبدا عبرانيا فست سنين يخدم وفي السابعة يخرج حرا مجانا.

³If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

³ان دخل وحده فوحده يخرج. ان كان بعل امرأة تخرج امرأته معه.

⁴If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

⁴ان اعطاه سيده امرأة وولدت له بنين او بنات فالمرأة واولادها يكونون لسيده وهو يخرج وحده.

⁵And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

⁵ولكن ان قال العبد احب سيدي وامرأتي واولادي لا اخرج حرا

⁶Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also 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.

⁶يقدمه سيده الى الله ويقربه الى الباب او الى القائمة ويثقب سيده اذنه بالمثقب. فيخدمه الى الابد.

⁷And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

⁷واذا باع رجل ابنته امة لا تخرج كما يخرج العبيد.

⁸If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

⁸ان قبحت في عيني سيدها الذي خطبها لنفسه يدعها تفك. وليس له سلطان ان يبيعها لقوم اجانب لغدره بها.

⁹And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

⁹وان خطبها لابنه فبحسب حق البنات يفعل لها.

¹⁰If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

¹⁰ان اتخذ لنفسه اخرى لا ينقّص طعامها وكسوتها ومعاشرتها.

¹¹And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

¹¹وان لم يفعل لها هذه الثلاث تخرج مجانا بلا ثمن

¹²He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

¹²من ضرب انسانا فمات يقتل قتلا.

¹³And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

¹³ولكن الذي لم يتعمّد بل اوقع الله في يده فانا اجعل لك مكانا يهرب اليه.

¹⁴But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

¹⁴واذا بغى انسان على صاحبه ليقتله بغدر فمن عند مذبحي تاخذه للموت.

¹⁵And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

¹⁵ومن ضرب اباه او امه يقتل قتلا.

¹⁶And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶ومن سرق انسانا وباعه او وجد في يده يقتل قتلا.

¹⁷And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

¹⁷ومن شتم اباه او امه يقتل قتلا.

¹⁸And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:

¹⁸واذا تخاصم رجلان فضرب احدهما الآخر بحجر او بلكمة ولم يقتل بل سقط في الفراش

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.

¹⁹فان قام وتمشى خارجا على عكّازه يكون الضارب بريئا. الا انه يعوض عطلته وينفق على شفائه.

²⁰And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

²⁰واذا ضرب انسان عبده او امته بالعصا فمات تحت يده ينتقم منه.

²¹Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

²¹ولكن ان بقي يوما او يومين لا ينتقم منه لانه ماله.

²²If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

²²واذا تخاصم رجال وصدموا امرأة حبلى فسقط ولدها ولم تحصل اذيّة يغرم كما يضع عليه زوج المرأة ويدفع عن يد القضاة.

²³And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

²³وان حصلت اذيّة تعطي نفسا بنفس

²⁴Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁴وعينا بعين وسنا بسن ويدا بيد ورجلا برجل

²⁵Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

²⁵وكيّا بكي وجرحا بجرح ورضّا برضّ.

²⁶And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

²⁶واذا ضرب انسان عين عبده او عين امته فاتلفها يطلقه حرا عوضا عن عينه.

²⁷And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

²⁷وان اسقط سن عبده او سنّ امته يطلقه حرا عوضا عن سنّه

²⁸If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

²⁸واذا نطح ثور رجلا او امرأة فمات يرجم الثور ولا يؤكل لحمه. واما صاحب الثور فيكون بريئا.

²⁹But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

²⁹ولكن ان كان ثورا نطّاحا من قبل وقد أشهد على صاحبه ولم يضبطه فقتل رجلا او امرأة فالثور يرجم وصاحبه ايضا يقتل.

³⁰If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

³⁰ان وضعت عليه فدية يدفع فداء نفسه كل ما يوضع عليه.

³¹Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

³¹او اذا نطح ابنا او نطح ابنة فبحسب هذا الحكم يفعل به.

³²If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³²ان نطح الثور عبدا او امة يعطي سيده ثلاثين شاقل فضة والثور يرجم.

³³And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

³³واذا فتح انسان بئرا او حفر انسان بئرا ولم يغطه فوقع فيها ثور او حمار

³⁴The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

³⁴فصاحب البئر يعوض ويرد فضة لصاحبه والميت يكون له

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

³⁵واذا نطح ثور انسان ثور صاحبه فمات يبيعان الثور الحي ويقتسمان ثمنه. والميت ايضا يقتسمانه.

³⁶Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.

³⁶لكن اذا علم انه ثور نطّاح من قبل ولم يضبطه صاحبه يعوّض عن الثور بثور والميت يكون له
