¹A toto sú súdy, ktoré im predložíš.

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

²Keď si kúpiš hebrejského sluhu, šesť rokov bude slúžiť a v siedmom roku vyjde slobodný darmo.

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

³Ak prijde sám, vyjde sám; ak bol ženatý, vyjde s ním i jeho žena.

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

⁴Ak mu jeho pán dá ženu, a porodí mu synov alebo dcéry, žena i jej deti budú patriť jej pánovi, a on vyjde sám.

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

⁵Ale keby povedal sluha: Milujem svojho pána, svoju ženu a svojich synov, nevyjdem slobodný.

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

⁶Vtedy ho dovedie jeho pán pred Boha, k sudcom, a dovedie ho ku dveriam alebo k podvojam a jeho pán prebodne jeho ucho šidlom, a bude mu slúžiť navždy.

⁶then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall 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.

⁷A keby niekto predal svoju dcéru za slúžku, nevyjde, jako vychádzajú sluhovia.

⁷And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.

⁸Ak by sa neľúbila svojmu pánovi, ktorý si jej nezasnúbil, dopustí, aby mohla byť vykúpená; ale cudziemu národu nebude mať práva ju predať, keď by sa dopustil nevernosti voči nej.

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

⁹A keby ju bol zasnúbil svojmu synovi, učiní jej tak, ako je obyčaj činiť dcéram.

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

¹⁰Ak si vezme popri nej inú ženu, jej stravy, jej odevu a jej manželského súžitia neujme.

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

¹¹Ak jej neučiní toho trojeho, vyjde darmo, bez peňazí.

¹¹And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.

¹²Ten, kto by ubil človeka tak, že by zomrel, istotne zomrie.

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

¹³Ale pre toho, kto nečihal na život, lež Bôh to tak spôsobil, aby nadišiel do jeho ruky, ustanovím ti miesto, kam sa utečie.

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.

¹⁴Ale keby niekto prišiel spupne na svojho blížneho, aby ho ľstivo zavraždil, ešte len aj od môjho oltára ho vezmeš, aby zomrel.

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

¹⁵Ten, kto by bil svojho otca, alebo svoju mať, istotne zomrie.

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

¹⁶A ten, kto by ukradol človeka a predal by ho, alebo keby sa našiel v jeho ruke, istotne zomrie.

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

¹⁷Aj ten, kto by zlorečil svojmu otcovi alebo svojej materi, istotne zomrie.

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

¹⁸A keby sa povadili mužovia, a niektorý by uderil svojho blížneho kameňom alebo päsťou, avšak by nezomrel, ale by sa složil do postele,

¹⁸And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed;

¹⁹ak potom vstane a bude chodiť vonku o svojej palici, bude bez viny ten, kto uderil, len že dá to, čo stálo jeho ležanie, a postará sa o to, aby bol celkom vyhojený.

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.

²⁰Keby niekto zbil svojho sluhu alebo svoju slúžku palicou tak, že by zomrel pod jeho rukou, istotne bude pomstený.

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

²¹Ale keby postál deň alebo dva, nebude pomstený, pretože sú to jeho peniaze.

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

²²Keby sa posvárili mužovia a uderili by tehotnú ženu, tak že by vyšiel jej plod, avšak by nebolo ublíženia na živote, istotne bude pokutovaný tak, ako naloží na neho muž tej ženy, a dá podľa usúdenia sudcov.

²²And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

²³Ale keby bolo ublížené na živote, tedy dáš život za život,

²³But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

²⁴oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,

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

²⁵spáleninu za spáleninu, ranu za ranu, modrinu za modrinu.

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

²⁶A keby niekto uderil oko svojho sluhu alebo oko svojej slúžky tak, že by mu ho zahubil, prepustí ho slobodného za jeho oko.

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

²⁷Alebo keby vyrazil zub svojho sluhu alebo zub svojej slúžky, prepustí ho slobodného za jeho zub.

²⁷And if he smite out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

²⁸A keby vôl poklal muža alebo ženu tak, že by zomrel, alebo zomrela, istotne bude ukameňovaný vôl, a jeho mäso sa nebude jesť, a jeho pán bude bez viny.

²⁸And if an ox gore a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

²⁹Ale ak vôl i pred tým bol klavý, a bolo to oznámené jeho pánovi, a nepozoroval na neho, a usmrtil by muža alebo ženu, vola ukameňujú a jeho pán tiež zomrie.

²⁹But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

³⁰Ak bude uložené na neho smierne, vtedy dá výkupné za svoju dušu, a síce všetko tak, ako bude vzložené na neho.

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

³¹Alebo keby poklal syna alebo keby poklal dcéru, učiní sa mu podľa toho istého súdu.

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

³²A keby vôl poklal sluhu, alebo slúžku, dá jeho pánovi tridsať šeklov striebra, a vôl bude ukameňovaný.

³²If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, there shall be given unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³³A keby niekto otvoril jamu, alebo keby niekto vykopal jamu a nepokryl jej, a keby ta padnul vôl alebo osol,

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,

³⁴pán tej jamy nahradí, peňazmi zaplatí jeho pánovi, a mŕtve bude jemu.

³⁴the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner thereof, and the dead [beast] shall be his.

³⁵A keby strčil niečí vôl vola jeho blížneho tak, že by zomrel, vtedy predajú toho živého vola a rozdelia si peniaze za neho, a toho mŕtveho si tiež rozdelia.

³⁵And if one man's ox hurt another's, so that it dieth, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it: and the dead also they shall divide.

³⁶Alebo keby sa vedelo, že vôl už pred tým bol klavý, ale jeho pán by ho nestrážil, istotne nahradí vola za vola, mŕtvy bude jemu.

³⁶Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and its owner hath not kept it in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead [beast] shall be his own.
