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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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;

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

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

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.

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.

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.
