TDX
Iretoañ’ o fètse ho taroñe’o am’ iereoo:
BSB
BSB:
“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
2
TDX
Ie mivily ondevo lahilahy nte-Evre le enen-taoñe ty hitoroña’e, f’ie hiavotse hidada ami’ty fahafito, afa-tsongo.
BSB
BSB:
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
3
TDX
Ie dogalahy te mizilik’ ao le i hadogà’ey ty hiakara’e; ie manam-baly te mizilike le amam-bali’e ka te hiavotse.
BSB
BSB:
If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
4
TDX
Ie tolora’ ty talè’e valy vaho mahatoly ana-dahy ndra anak’ ampela ama’e le ho a i talè’ey i vali’ey naho o ana’eo, le doga re te hiakatse ao.
BSB
BSB:
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5
TDX
Fe naho mitsey ty hoe i mpitoro’ey, Kokoako ty talèko naho ty valiko vaho o anakoo; tsy te hiakatse ampidadàn-draho,
BSB
BSB:
But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
6
TDX
le hasese’ i talè’ey añatrefan’ Añahare. Hendeseñe mb’an-tsarirañe mb’eo ndra am-pikalan-dalañe eo le ho trofahe’ ty talè’e fañity ty ravembia’e vaho ho toroñe’e kitro añ’afe’e.
BSB
BSB:
then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
7
TDX
Ie aleta’ t’indaty ho ondevo ty anak’ ampela’e, le tsy hanahake ondevo lahilahy ty hiakara’e.
BSB
BSB:
And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
8
TDX
Naho heje’ ty talè’e, ie jinobo’e ho am-bata’e, le azo jebañeñe; fe tsy hanan-jo handetak’ aze ami’ty ambahiny naho heje’e, ie nifañahia’e.
BSB
BSB:
If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
9
TDX
Aa naho fofoe’e ho a i ana-dahi’ey le hampanahafe’e amo anak’ ampelao.
BSB
BSB:
And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
10
TDX
Ie mañenga valy tovo’e le tsy aketrake ty mahakama’e ndra ty lamba’e ndra ty fialoza’e.
BSB
BSB:
If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
11
TDX
F’ie tsy hañeneke i telo rezay le hiakatse ampidadàñe re tsy an-tsongo, tsy mandoa vola-foty.
BSB
BSB:
If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
12
TDX
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ty namofoke ondaty nampikoromak’ aze.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
13
TDX
Aa naho tsy nikililieñe, fe nasesen’ Añahare am-pità’e, le ho toroako toetse hirombaha’e.
BSB
BSB:
If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14
TDX
Fe naho iambotraha’ t’indaty am-pamañahiañe t’indaty hamonoa’e am-pitak’ate, le hasita’ areo amy kitrelikoy re hivetrake.
BSB
BSB:
But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
15
TDX
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
16
TDX
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mampikametse ondaty, he t’ie naleta’e ke te zoeñe am-pità’eo.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever kidnaps another man must be put to death, whether he sells him or the man is found in his possession.
17
TDX
Tsi-mete tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene.
BSB
BSB:
Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
18
TDX
Naho mifañotake t’indaty vaho dasire’ ty raike am-bato ty raike ndra lihiñe’e an-toto-fetreke, f’ie tsy mivetrake, fa mikopake an-tihy,
BSB
BSB:
If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
19
TDX
aa naho mitroatse indatiy naho midraidraitse alafe’e ao am-pitoñoñe, le avotsotse i nandafay, fe havaha’e i fitoboha’ey vaho tsi-mete tsy hatrafe’e ampara’ t’ie jangañe.
BSB
BSB:
then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
20
TDX
Naho fofohe’ ondaty an-kobaiñe ty ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ie mikoromak’ am-pità’eo, le toe ho lilovañe.
BSB
BSB:
If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21
TDX
Fa naho mbe mitambeloñe andro roe ndra raike re le tsy ho liloveñe ka, kanao fanaña’e.
BSB
BSB:
However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property.
22
TDX
Naho mijoy ty ampela mivesatse t’indaty mifandrapake vaho mahaboloañe ty ana’e tsy añom-bolañe, fe tsy orihem-boy, le toe ho liloveñe re ami’ty hampanoa’ ty vali’ i rakembay vaho hampañondrohe’ o mpizakao.
BSB
BSB:
If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
23
TDX
F’ie orihem-boy le soloam-piay ty fiay,
BSB
BSB:
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
24
TDX
fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia,
BSB
BSB:
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25
TDX
soba ty soba, fere ty fere, fofoke ty fofoke.
BSB
BSB:
burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
26

Aa naho trofahe’ ty talè’e ty maso’ ondevo’e lahilahy ndra ampela vaho mijoy aze, le havotso’ i talè’ey hidada i ondevoy, ho solo’ i masoy.
BSB
BSB:
If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.

Naho mitomboke ondaty ty añombe naho mampihomak’ aze le tsi-mete tsy ho retsahem-bato i añombey vaho tsy ho kamaeñe ty nofo’e; fa votsotse ty tompo’ i añombey.
BSB
BSB:
If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.
29
TDX
Aa naho nilili’ i añombey omale ndra fak’omale ty mandronjeronje amo tsifa’eo ie nampandrendreheñe i tompo’ey, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse vaho mañe-doza amy t’indaty ndra rakemba i añombey, le ho fetsahem-bato i añombey vaho havetrake i tompo’ey.
BSB
BSB:
But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.
30

Fa naho ampañondroheñe drala ka i tompo’ey, le havaha’ i tompo’ey ho fijebañam-piai’e i ampañavahañ’azey iaby.

BSB
BSB:
If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule.
32
TDX
Naho mitomboke ondevo lahilahy ndra ampela ka i añombey le ampañavaheñe volafoty sekele 30 i tompo’ey vaho retsahem-bato i añombey.
BSB
BSB:
If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
33
TDX
Naho sokafe’ t’indaty ty koboñe, he mihaly kadaha fa tsy kapefa’e vaho mikorovok’ ao ty añombe ndra birìke,
BSB
BSB:
If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34
TDX
le ty tompo’ i haliy ro hañavake vaho hañondroke drala ami’ ty tompo’ i harey, fe aze i matey.
BSB
BSB:
the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.

Naho joie’ ty añombe’ ondaty ty aze, le haleta’ iareo i veloñey naho ho zarae’ iereo roe i vili’ey vaho ifanjarañe i matey.
BSB
BSB:
If a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal.
36
TDX
Fe naho nifohiñe te lili’ i añombey ty mandronje, fe tsy kinala’ i tompo’ey am-pahetse, le havaha’ i tompo’ey añombe i añombey vaho aze i matey.
BSB
BSB:
But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
