1Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
1 Woone yaŋ mo ga ti asariyey* kaŋ ni ga daŋ borey jine.
2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
2 Da ni na Ibraniyance bannya day, jiiri iddu no a ga may ni se. Iyyanta ra a ga fatta burcini, gomni boŋ.
3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
3 Da nga hinne no ka furo, nga hinne no ga fatta. Da wandekoy mo no, a wando ga fatta a banda.
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.
4 Da koyo no k'a no wande, a na izeyaŋ hay a se mo, alboro wala wayboro, wando da nga izey ga goro koyo wane-taray ra, bora hinne no ga fatta.
5And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
5 Amma da bannya na sanni kaa taray ka ne: «Ay ga ba ay koyo d'ay wando d'ay izey, ay si fatta,»
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.
6 saaya din a koyo ga kond'a Irikoy jine, a ma kond'a fu meyo gaa, wala fu meyo bundo gaa. A koyo g'a hanga fun da taaji, a ga may koyo se mo hal abada.
7And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
7 Da boro fo na nga ize way neera a ma ciya koŋŋo, a si fatta danga mate kaŋ bannya ga fatta bo.
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.
8 D'a mana kaan koyo kaŋ ho nga m'a hiiji se mo, kal a ma naŋ i ma koŋŋa fansa. Koyo sinda fondo k'a neera yaw fo se, za kaŋ a n'a fafagu.
9And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
9 D'a n'a day nga ize aru se mo, kal a ma te a se mate kaŋ i ga te ize way se.
10If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
10 Da koyo na wande fo sambu, koŋŋa ŋwaari nd'a bankaaray da hiijay wazibi si zabu.
11And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
11 D'a mana ihinza din te a se mo, kal a ma fatta yaadin gomni, manti nda nooru.
12He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
12 Boro kaŋ na boro fo kar kal a bu, haciika i g'a wi no.
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.
13 Amma bora, da manti a lamba no bo, kala Irikoy n'a te yaadin a kambe ra, ay ga daŋ ni se nangu kaŋ a ga zuru ka koy.
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.
14 Da boro fo na nga gorokasin toonye zama nga m'a zamba ka wi, ni g'a koy kaa, baa ay sargay feema do, zama a ma bu se.
15And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
15 Boro kaŋ na nga baaba wala nga nya kar, haciika i g'a wi no.
16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Boro kaŋ na boro zay ka neera, wala mo i n'a gar a kambe ra, haciika i g'a wi no.
17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
17 Boro kaŋ na nga baaba wala nga nya wow, haciika i g'a wi.
18And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
18 Da alboroyaŋ goono ga yanje, afa na afa kar da tondi wala nda kambe kunkuni, amma a mana bu, kala day a soobay ka kani nga daaro boŋ --
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.
19 d'a ye ka tun ka goobu naan, bora kaŋ n'a kar din, ciiti s'a di, amma kal a ma muraado mursa bana. A ma naŋ mo i m'a saajaw hal a ma te baani.
20And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
20 Da boro fo na nga bannya wala nga koŋŋa kar da goobu, d'a ciya a bu mo a kamba ra, haciika i g'a ciiti.
21Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
21 Amma d'a te jirbi fo wala ihinka, i s'a ciiti koyne, zama a arzaka no.
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.
22 Da alboroyaŋ goono ga gurjay, hal i na wayboro gundekoy maray, kal a te gunde hasaraw, amma hasarawo me nooya, haciika i g'i ciiti da jukkeyaŋ kaŋ waybora kurnyo ga dake i boŋ. I ga bana mo danga mate kaŋ alkaaley ga ciiti i se.
23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
23 Amma da hasaraw waani fo te, saaya din ni ma fundi bana nda fundi;
24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
24 ma mo bana nda mo; ma hinje bana nda hinje; ma kambe bana nda kambe; ma ce bana nda ce;
25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
25 ma tonyaŋ bana nda tonyaŋ; ma marayyaŋ bana nda marayyaŋ; ma karyaŋ bana nda karyaŋ.
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.
26 Da boro fo na nga bannya wala nga koŋŋa mo kar hal a na mwa kaa, kal a m'a taŋ burcini a mwa banando se.
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.
27 Da mo a na nga bannya wala nga koŋŋa hinje bagu no, a m'a taŋ burcini a hinja banando se.
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.
28 Da yeeji fo na alboro wala wayboro fo nukum hal a bu, haciika i ga yeejo catu nda tondiyaŋ k'a wi. I s'a hamo ŋwa mo, amma yeejo koyo sinda taali.
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.
29 Amma da za doŋ yeejo doona ka nukum, i ci koyo se mo, a man'a haw mo, hala yeejo na alboro wala wayboro fo wi, i ga yeejo catu ka wi. A ga koyo mo wi.
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.
30 D'i na fansa dake a boŋ mo, kal a ma bana haŋ kaŋ me i dake a boŋ, zama a fundo fansayaŋ no.
31Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
31 Da ize alboro no a nukum, wala ize way, asariya din boŋ no i ga te a se.
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.
32 Da yeejo na bannya wala koŋŋo nukum, kal a ma bana koyo se nzarfu sekel* waranza, i ma yeejo catu ka wi mo.
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;
33 Da boro fo na guusu fiti, wala da boro fo na guusu fansi no, a man'a daabu, yeeji wala farka fo mo kaŋ a ra,
34The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
34 guusukoyo ga bana. A ga nooru no i koyey se, buukwa ga ciya a wane.
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.
35 Da mo boro fo yeeji na boro fo wane maray hal a bu, kal i ma yeeji fundikoono neera ka nooro fay, buukwa mo, i m'a fay ngey game ra.
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.
36 Amma d'i bay za doŋ yeeji kaŋ ga nukum no, a koyo man'a haw mo, haciika kal a ma yeeji fo bana, buukwa mo ga ciya a wane.
