¹`And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before them:

¹Huchiin hiaite vaihawmna a ma ua na ngak dingte ahi uh.

²`When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;

²Hebru sikha na lei leh, kum guk na a sep ding: a kum sagihnaah bangmah louin nuamlenin a pawt khe ding.

³if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone out with him;

³Amah tuma honglut leh, amahtumin a pawt khe ding: ji a nei a hihleh, huchiin a jiin amah a jui khe ding.

⁴if his lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters — the wife and her children are her lord`s, and he goeth out by himself.

⁴A puin ji apiaka, tapate hiam tanute hiam a neihsak leh, ji leh a tate a pua ahi ding ua, amah tumin a pawt khe ding.

⁵`And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do not go out free;

⁵Sikhain teltaka, Ka pu ka it, ka ji, leh ka tate ka it; nuamlenin ka pawt khe kei ding, a chileh:

⁶then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him — to the age.

⁶Huchiin a puin vaihawmte kiangah amah a pi dia; kongkhak chiangah hiam kongkhak khuam chiangah hiam a pi ding; huan a puin vuhnain a bil a vut pailet ding; huchiin aman a pu na a sem tawntung ding.

⁷`And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants;

⁷Huan pasalin a tanu sikhanu dingin juak leh, sikhapate bangin a pai khe keiding.

⁸if evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously with her.

⁸Amah khampa a pu a lungkimsak keileh, a tansak ding hi: a lakah kheltat takin a hihta chih theiin, melmak nam kianga juak dingin thuneihna a neikei.

⁹`And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.

⁹Huan a tapa dinga a kham leh, tanute bawl dandanin amah a bawl ding hi.

¹⁰`If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;

¹⁰Zi dang a neihsak leh; a annek, a puansilh, leh a kitenna man a sukniam louh ding.

¹¹and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.

¹¹Huan a tunga hiai thumte a hih keileh, sum leh pai louin amah nuamlenin, a pawt khe ding hi.

¹²`He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;

¹²A sihna dinga, mi vua peuhmah, sih sak ngeingei ding ahi.

¹³as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee.

¹³Huchiin min buk kei henla, Pathianin amah a khut ah tankhe zota leh, huchi a hihin a taina ding mun ka honseh sak ding hi.

¹⁴`And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.

¹⁴Ahihhangin zekhema amah hihlum dingin, mi a insakinkhang tungah maingal takin honggamta leh; a sihna dingin, amah ka maitam akipanin na la ding hi.

¹⁵`And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.

¹⁵Huan kuapeuhmahin a pa hiam, a nu hiam vua leh, sihsak ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁶`And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.

¹⁶Huan kuapeuhin mi guin, juak leh, a hihkeileh a khuta muh khiakin om leh, amah sihsak ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁷`And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.

¹⁷Huan kuapeuhin a pa hiam, a nu hiam hamsiatlohta leh sihsak ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁸`And when men contend, and a man hath smitten his neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but hath fallen on the bed;

¹⁸Huan mite kisual uhenla, khatin khat suangin deng hiam, a khuttum hiamin tum henla, si louin, lupna ngak ta leh;

¹⁹if he rise, and hath gone up and down without on his staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation he giveth, and he is thoroughly healed.

¹⁹Thou nawnin, chiangkhun khunin kholak vak leh, a vawpa a hul dia; a hun sukbei man a pe dinga, amah a dam siang sak sipsip ding hi.

²⁰`And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand — he is certainly avenged;

²⁰Min a sikhapa hiam, a sikhanu hiam chiangin vua henla, a khut lumin sileh: amah gawt ngeingei ding ahi.

²¹only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.

²¹Ahihhang in nikhat hiam ni nih hiam apaisuak leh, gawt louh ding ahi: amah sum leh pai ahih jiakin

²²`And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him, and he hath given through the judges;

²²Mite kisualin, numei naunei hihnain, amaha kipanin a gah paihkhiain, a hihhangin siatnain jui kei leh: numeinu pasalin a tunga a chihbangbanga amah gawt ngeingei ding; vaihawmten a lep bang ua a liau ding ahi.

²³and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for life,

²³Huan siatna mawngmawngin juita leh, huchiin hin tanga hin a piak ding ahi.

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

²⁴Mit tanga mit, ha tanga ha, khut tanga khut, khe tanga khe,

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

²⁵Hal tanga, hal, liam tanga liam, pawn tanga pawn.

²⁶`And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye;

²⁶Min a sikha mit hiam, a sikha nu mit hiam suk sakin, seta leh: a mit jiakin nuamlenin a khah ding ahi.

²⁷and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for his tooth.

²⁷Huan a sikhapa ha hiam, a sikhanu ha hiam sukhe taleh; a ha jiakin nuamlenin amah a khah ding ahi.

²⁸`And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;

²⁸Bawngtalin pasal hiam numei hiam siin, si leh uh: huchiin bawngtal denlup ngeingei ding ahi, huan a sa nek louh hial ding: ahihhangin a bawngtal neipen a hul ding.

²⁹and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it, and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner also is put to death.

²⁹Ahihhangin huai bawngtal a malamin a kia phut hat na hitaleh, a neipen kianga hilhsa hiin, amah khumta keileh, himahleh pasal hiam numei hiam na thatta leh; bawngtal den lup ding ahia, a neipen leng sihsak ding ahi.

³⁰`If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;

³⁰A tungah dangka sum kikoih leh, huan a tunga kikoih peuhpeuh a hinna tatna man din a pe ding.

³¹whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.

³¹Tapa hiam, tanu hiam na nasita leh, hiai vaihawmna bangin a tunga hih ding ahi.

³²`If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned.

³²Bawngtalin sikhapa hiam sikhanu hiam phu leh; a pu uh kiangah dangka sekel sawmthum a piak dinga, bawngtal a denlup ding uh ahi.

³³`And when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen thither, —

³³Pasalin kokhuk bawl henla, a hih keileh pasalin kokhuk tou henla, sin kei henla, huaiah bawngtal hiam sabengtung hiam ke leh,

³⁴the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his.

³⁴Kokhuk neipenin a bawl hoiha, amau neipa kianga dangka sum a piak ding; huchiin a gan si amaha ahi ding.

³⁵`And when a man`s ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour, and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and also the dead one they do halve;

³⁵Mi khat bawngtalin midanga hihna henla, si leh; a bawngtal hinglai pen a juak ding ua, a sum a kihawm ding uh; huan a bawngtal sipen leng a kihawm ding uhi.Ahihkeileh a malamin huai bawngtal phut hat ahi chih a kitheiha a neiin a khum kei chih a kitheih leh; bawngtal tanga bawngtal a piak ngeingei ding; huchiin a gan si amah tuam a hih ding ahi.

³⁶or, it hath been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his.

³⁶Ahihkeileh a malamin huai bawngtal phut hat ahi chih a kitheiha a neiin a khum kei chih a kitheih leh; bawngtal tanga bawngtal a piak ngeingei ding; huchiin a gan si amah tuam a hih ding ahi.
