BSB
BSB:
“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
2
ZAJP
Kamba uhamgula nyakadala mbigalo wa Kieblania, yakusang'hanikile mkipigiti cha milao sita. Ila mmulao wa saba yalekesigwe yachole, bila kuliha kinhu chochose.
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

BSB
BSB:
If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
4
ZAJP
Na kamba mndewa wake yahamsolela mtwanzi, na ija imtwanzi yahamulelela wana wa kitwanzi na wa kimbigalo, avo ija imtwanzi na waja iwana wowa wa ija imndewa, na ija inyakadala yachole yeiyeka.
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
ZAJP
Ila kamba ija inyakadala yahalonga, ‘Nimnogela mndewa wangu, mtwanzi wangu, na wanangu, silonda kusegela na kuwa munhu yailegehe,’
BSB
BSB:
But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’
6
ZAJP
avo mndewa wake yamsole yamgale haulongozi wa Mulungu. Abaho yamgale hana ulwivi ama hana umuhimili wa ulwivi, na mndewa wake yamtoge gwiti jake na shindano. Abaho komsang'hanikila mndewa wake mkipigiti chose cha ugima wake.
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
ZAJP
“Munhu yahamguza mndele wake yawe nyakadala, heyo hasegela na kuwa munhu yailegehe kamba viili ha nyakadala wa kimbigalo.
BSB

And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.
8

Kamba mndele ija hamnogela mndewa wake, ayo iyamsagule yawe mtwanzi wake wa kunze, kolondigwa yaguzigwe ha tata wa ija imndele. Ila mndewa wake kabule udaho wa kumguza ha munhu muhenza, kwavija mndewa iyo yamtendele uzenzeleganye.
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
ZAJP
Ila kamba komsagula yawe mwehe wa mwanage, kolondigwa yamtende kamba mndele wake mwenyego.
BSB
BSB:
And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
10
ZAJP
Kamba munhu yamsolile nyakadala kuwa mtwanzi wake wa kunze, yahalonda kusola mtwanzi iyagwe, kolondigwa kugendelela kumgwelela ija imtwanzi wake wa kunze wa ichanduso ija inyakadala, kiasi kikija cha mandia, vivalo, na uwaso.
BSB
BSB:
If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
11
ZAJP
Na kamba hamtendela vinhu vino vidatu, ija imtwanzi kodaha kusegela bila maliho gogose.”
BSB
BSB:
If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
12
ZAJP
Mulungu kagendelela kulonga, “Munhu yoyose yondayamtoe na kumkoma miyage, na heyo yakomigwe.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
13
ZAJP
Ila kamba hatendile giladi, ila galawilila sama ya manogelwa ga Mulungu, kolondigwa yakimbilile hanhu hondanikulongele.
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
ZAJP
Ila kamba munhu yoyose yahamkoma miyage giladi, hata kamba yahakimbilila hana ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa, yakwekwesigwe yalavigwe hana ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa abaho yakomigwe.
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
ZAJP
“Munhu yoyose yondayamtoe tataake ama mamaake, yakomigwe.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.
16
ZAJP

Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.
18

“Wanhu wabili wahagomba na imwe yahamtoa miyage na dibwe ama ng'honde na hadanganhike, ila kamtenda ija yatoigwe yalumwe na kuwasa mulusazi,
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
ZAJP
na abaho kona vinogile na kulawa hanze kabili kuno yotembelela fimbo, ija yamtoile hatagusigwa ila kolondigwa yamulihe ija yalumile sama ya kipigiti kija kipotele kipigiti viyakalile mulusazi, na yamuguze mbaka vondayahone.
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
ZAJP
“Kamba munhu yahamtoa na lubiki nyakadala wake wakitwanzi ama wakimbigalo, na ija inyakadala bahaja kadanganhika, ija imunhu kolondigwa yatagusigwe.
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
ZAJP
Ila kamba ija inyakadala hadanganhike mdizua dimwe ama mabili, ija mwene inyakadala hatagusigwa, kwavija kamtoa nyakadala wake mwenyego.
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
ZAJP
“Kamba wambigalo wabili wogomba na kumkunhiza mtwanzi yali na inda na kutenda inda yake ilawe bila kumulumiza, ija yamkunhize kolondigwa yatozigwe kiasi chochose choyolonda mbigalo wa ija imtwanzi, sambiibanze vija mulamula vondayalonge.
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
ZAJP
Ila kamba ihalawilila ija imtwanzi kalumizwa na mkunhizo uja, avo ija yamulumize kolondigwa yamulihe ija imtwanzi ugima kwa ugima,
BSB
BSB:
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—
24
ZAJP
siso kwa siso, zino kwa zino, mgulu kwa mgulu, mkono kwa mkono,

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
ZAJP
Ila kamba ng'ombe ija kakala na nzoela ya kuwahoma wanhu na mhembe zake, na mwene ng'ombe kakala yalongeligwe ila hamfungile ng'ombe wake, abaho ija ing'ombe kamkoma munhu mtwanzi ama mbigalo, ija ing'ombe kolondigwa yatoigwe na mibwe mbaka yadanganhike. Na ija mwene ng'ombe vivija yakomigwe.

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.

“Kamba munhu yahaleka kudigubika kolongo, ama yahahimba kolongo na kuleka kudigubika, na ng'ombe ama mhunda yahalagalila mgati yake,
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
ZAJP
ija mwene idikolongo kolondigwa yamulihe mwene imhunda ama mwene ing'ombe, na ija imng'onyo yadanganhike kowa wa munhu ija mwene idikolongo.
BSB
BSB:
the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.
35
ZAJP
“Kamba ng'ombe wa munhu imwe yahamulumiza ng'ombe wa munhu iyagwe na kudanganhika, wanhu wano wabili wolondigwa kumguza ing'ombe yali mgima na kuigolela zihela, na vivija ija ing'ombe yadanganhike waigolele nyama yake.
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.

Ila kamba ija ing'ombe kakala na nzoela ya kuwahoma wayage na mhembe, ila ija mwene ng'ombe hamfungile, basi ija mwene ng'ombe yamkomile miyage kolondigwa yalihe ng'ombe mgima sama ya ng'ombe ija yadanganhike, na ija ing'ombe yadanganhike kowa wake heyo.”
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.
