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

¹[Lalàna nasain'Andriamanitra hotandreman'ny Zanak'Isiraely] Ary izao no lalàna izay hataonao eo anatrehany:

²If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

²Raha mividy andevo Hebreo ianao, dia enin-taona no hanompoany, ary amin'ny taona fahafito dia hiala ho afaka fotsiny izy.

³If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.

³Raha izy irery ihany no miditra, dia izy irery hany no hiala; fa raha manam-bady izy, dia hiala hiaraka aminy koa ny vadiny.

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

⁴Raha manome vady azy ny tompony, ka miteraka zazalahy na zazavavy aminy izy, dia ho an'ny tompony ihany ny vadiny sy ny zanany, fa izy irery ihany no hiala.

⁵But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;

⁵Fa raha milaza marimarina ilay andevo ka manao hoe: Tsy foiko ny tompoko sy ny vadiko ary ny zanako, ka tsy te-ho afaka aho,

⁶then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.

⁶dia ho entin'ny tompony ho eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra izy, ary dia ho entiny ho eo amin'ny varavarana, na ho eo amin'ny tolam-baravarana, ka hotevehin'ny tompony amin'ny haolo ny sofiny; dia hanompo azy mandrakizay izy.

⁷And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.

⁷Ary raha misy mivaro-janakavavy ho vaditsindranon'olona, dia tsy mba ho tahaka ny fialan'ny andevolahy ho afaka no fialany.

⁸If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.

⁸Fa raha tsy ankasitrahan'ny tompony, izay nikasa hanambady azy, ravehivavy, dia havelany havotana ihany izy; tsy hahazo mivarotra azy ho any amin'ny firenena hafa izy, satria efa namitaka azy.

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

⁹Ary raha mamofo azy ho vadin'ny zananilahy izy, dia araka ny fitondra zanakavavy no hataony aminy.

¹⁰If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.

¹⁰Ary raha maka vehivavy hafa ho vadiny izy, dia tsy hahenany ny fihinany sy ny fitafiany ary ny fombam-panambadiany.

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

¹¹Ary raha tsy hataony aminy izany zavatra telo loha izany, dia hiala ho afaka fotsiny ravehivavy, fa tsy handoa vola.

¹²He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.

¹²Izay mamely olona ka mahafaty azy dia hatao maty tokoa;

¹³But if he have not lain in wait, and God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.

¹³fa izay tsy manotrika, fa Andriamanitra no manolotra azy eo an-tànany, dia hanendry ho anareo fitoerana izay handosirany Aho.

¹⁴But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

¹⁴Ary raha misy olona avy sahisahy amin'ny namany hamono azy amin'ny fahafetsena, dia halainao izy, na dia eo amin'ny alitarako aza, mba hovonoina ho faty.

¹⁵And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁵Ary izay mamely ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa.

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

¹⁶Ary izay mangalatra olona, na efa namidiny, na mbola hita eo an-tànany ihany ilay nangalariny, dia hatao maty tokoa.

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

¹⁷Ary izay manozona ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa.

¹⁸And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

¹⁸Ary raha misy olona mifanditra, ka ny anankiray mamely ny namany amin'ny vato, na amin'ny totohondry, koa tsy maty izy, fa marary ambany tsihy,

¹⁹-- if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

¹⁹raha afa-mitsangana indray ka mandehandeha mitehina eny ala-trano izy, dia ho afa-tsiny ilay namely azy; kanefa handoa ny hevitr'andro tsy nanaovany zavatra izy sady hitsabo azy mandra-pahasitrany.

²⁰And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

²⁰Ary raha misy olona mikapoka ny andevolahiny na ny andevovaviny amin'ny tsorakazo ka mahafaty azy eo am-pikapohana, dia hovaliana tokoa izy.

²¹Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.

²¹Kanefa raha mbola velona maharitra indray andro na indroa andro izy, dia tsy hovaliana ilay tompony; fa hareny ihany izy.

²²And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.

²²Ary raha misy olona mifanditra ka mandratra vehivavy manan'anaka, ka teraka tsy tonga volana ny zanany, kanefa tsy misy maninona, dia hosazina tokoa ilay olona araka izay hanaovan'ny vadin-dravehivavy azy; ary handoa araka izay handidian'ny mpitsara izy.

²³But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,

²³Fa raha misy maninona kosa, dia hanome aina solon'ny aina ianao,

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

²⁴maso solon'ny maso, nify solon'ny nify, tanana solon'ny tanana, tongotra solon'ny tongotra,

²⁵branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

²⁵may solon'ny may, ratra solon'ny ratra, mivatra solon'ny mivatra.

²⁶And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.

²⁶Ary raha misy olona mamely ny mason'ny andevolahiny na ny mason'ny andevova­viny ka mahasimba azy, dia halefany ho afaka izy noho ny masony.

²⁷And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.

²⁷Ary raha ny nifin'ny andevolahy na ny andevovavy no afany, dia halefany ho afaka koa izy noho ny nifiny.

²⁸And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless.

²⁸Ary raha misy omby manoto lehilahy na vehivavy ka mahafaty azy, dia hotoraham-bato tokoa ny omby, ary tsy hohanina ny henany; ary ny tompon'ilay omby dia ho afa-tsiny.

²⁹But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, -- the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

²⁹Fa raha omby efa zatra nanoto hatramin'ny teo aloha iny, sady efa nambara tamin'ny tompony izany, nefa izy no tsy niaro azy, koa nahafaty lehilahy na vehivavy ny omby, dia hotoraham-bato ny omby, ary ny tompony koa hovonoina.

³⁰If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.

³⁰Raha sazina izy, dia handoa vidin'aina araka izay sazy atao aminy.

³¹Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.

³¹Raha manoto zazalahy na zazavavy ny omby, dia araka izany lalàna izany koa no hanaovana azy.

³²If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³²Raha manoto andevolahy na andevovavy izy, dia homena sekely volafotsy telo-polo ny tompon'andevo, ary ny omby hotoraham-bato.

³³-- And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall into it,

³³Ary raha misy olona manokatra lavaka, na raha misy olona mihady lavaka, ka tsy rakofany, ary misy omby na boriky latsaka ao,

³⁴the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.

³⁴dia hanonitra azy ny tompon-davaka, ka vola no haloany ho an'ny tompony; ary ny maty dia ho azy.

³⁵-- And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.

³⁵Ary raha misy ombin'olona mandratra ny ombin'ny namany ka mahafaty azy, dia hamidiny ny omby velona, ka hozarainy ny vola vidiny; ary ny maty koa hozarainy.

³⁶Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.

³⁶Kanefa raha fantatra fa omby zatra nanoto hatramin'ny teo aloha iny, koa tsy niaro azy ny tompony, dia hanonitra omby ho solon'ny omby tokoa izy; ary ny maty dia ho azy.Raha misy olona mangalatra omby, na ondry, na osy, ka mamono azy, na mivarotra azy, dia hanonitra omby dimy ho solon'ny omby iray izy ary ondry na osy efatra ho solon'ny ondry na osy iray.

³⁷Raha misy olona mangalatra omby, na ondry, na osy, ka mamono azy, na mivarotra azy, dia hanonitra omby dimy ho solon'ny omby iray izy ary ondry na osy efatra ho solon'ny ondry na osy iray.
