1“Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.
1A toto sú súdy, ktoré im predložíš.
2“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
2Keď si kúpiš hebrejského sluhu, šesť rokov bude slúžiť a v siedmom roku vyjde slobodný darmo.
3If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
3Ak prijde sám, vyjde sám; ak bol ženatý, vyjde s ním i jeho žena.
4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
4Ak mu jeho pán dá ženu, a porodí mu synov alebo dcéry, žena i jej deti budú patriť jej pánovi, a on vyjde sám.
5But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
5Ale keby povedal sluha: Milujem svojho pána, svoju ženu a svojich synov, nevyjdem slobodný.
6then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
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.
7“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
7A keby niekto predal svoju dcéru za slúžku, nevyjde, jako vychádzajú sluhovia.
8If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
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.
9If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
9A keby ju bol zasnúbil svojmu synovi, učiní jej tak, ako je obyčaj činiť dcéram.
10If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
10Ak si vezme popri nej inú ženu, jej stravy, jej odevu a jej manželského súžitia neujme.
11If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
11Ak jej neučiní toho trojeho, vyjde darmo, bez peňazí.
12“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
12Ten, kto by ubil človeka tak, že by zomrel, istotne zomrie.
13but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
13Ale pre toho, kto nečihal na život, lež Bôh to tak spôsobil, aby nadišiel do jeho ruky, ustanovím ti miesto, kam sa utečie.
14If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
14Ale keby niekto prišiel spupne na svojho blížneho, aby ho ľstivo zavraždil, ešte len aj od môjho oltára ho vezmeš, aby zomrel.
15“Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
15Ten, kto by bil svojho otca, alebo svoju mať, istotne zomrie.
16“Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
16A ten, kto by ukradol človeka a predal by ho, alebo keby sa našiel v jeho ruke, istotne zomrie.
17“Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
17Aj ten, kto by zlorečil svojmu otcovi alebo svojej materi, istotne zomrie.
18“If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;
18A keby sa povadili mužovia, a niektorý by uderil svojho blížneho kameňom alebo päsťou, avšak by nezomrel, ale by sa složil do postele,
19if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
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.
20“If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
20Keby niekto zbil svojho sluhu alebo svoju slúžku palicou tak, že by zomrel pod jeho rukou, istotne bude pomstený.
21Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
21Ale keby postál deň alebo dva, nebude pomstený, pretože sú to jeho peniaze.
22“If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
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.
23But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
23Ale keby bolo ublížené na živote, tedy dáš život za život,
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
24oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,
25burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
25spáleninu za spáleninu, ranu za ranu, modrinu za modrinu.
26“If a man strikes his servant’s eye, or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
26A keby niekto uderil oko svojho sluhu alebo oko svojej slúžky tak, že by mu ho zahubil, prepustí ho slobodného za jeho oko.
27If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
27Alebo keby vyrazil zub svojho sluhu alebo zub svojej slúžky, prepustí ho slobodného za jeho zub.
28“If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
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.
29But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
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.
30If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.
30Ak bude uložené na neho smierne, vtedy dá výkupné za svoju dušu, a síce všetko tak, ako bude vzložené na neho.
31Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
31Alebo keby poklal syna alebo keby poklal dcéru, učiní sa mu podľa toho istého súdu.
32If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
32A keby vôl poklal sluhu, alebo slúžku, dá jeho pánovi tridsať šeklov striebra, a vôl bude ukameňovaný.
33“If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
33A keby niekto otvoril jamu, alebo keby niekto vykopal jamu a nepokryl jej, a keby ta padnul vôl alebo osol,
34the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
34pán tej jamy nahradí, peňazmi zaplatí jeho pánovi, a mŕtve bude jemu.
35“If one man’s bull injures another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
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.
36Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
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.
