Éxodo 21
Bible Darby
1*Ce sont ici les jugements que tu placeras devant eux :
2Si tu achètes un serviteur hébreu, il servira six années, et, la septième, il sortira libre, gratuitement.
3S’il est venu seul, il sortira seul ; s’il avait une femme, sa femme sortira avec lui.
4Si son maître lui a donné une femme, et qu’elle lui ait enfanté des fils ou des filles, la femme et ses enfants seront à son maître, et lui, il sortira seul.
5Mais si le serviteur dit positivement : J’aime mon maître, ma femme et mes enfants, je ne veux pas sortir libre ;
6alors son maître le fera venir devant les juges, et le fera approcher de la porte ou du poteau, et son maître lui percera l’oreille avec un poinçon ; et il le servira à toujours.
7Et si un homme vend sa fille pour être servante, elle ne sortira point comme sortent les serviteurs.
8Si elle déplaît aux yeux de son maître qui se l’était fiancée, il la fera racheter ; il n’aura pas le pouvoir de la vendre à un peuple étranger, après l’avoir trompée.
9Et s’il l’a fiancée à son fils, il agira envers elle selon le droit des filles.
10S’il en prend une autre, il ne retranchera rien pour elle à sa nourriture, à son vêtement, et à son droit conjugal.
11Et s’il ne fait pas pour elle ces trois choses-là, elle sortira gratuitement, sans [payer aucun] argent.
12Si quelqu’un frappe un homme, et qu’il en meure, il sera certainement mis à mort.
13Mais s’il ne lui a pas dressé d’embûche, et que Dieu l’ait fait tomber sous ses mains, je t’établirai un lieu où il s’enfuira.
14Et si un homme s’élève de propos délibéré contre son prochain, pour le tuer par ruse, tu l’arracheras de mon autel, pour qu’il meure.
15Et celui qui frappera son père ou sa mère sera certainement mis à mort.
16Et si quelqu’un vole un homme et qu’il le vende, ou qu’il soit trouvé en sa main, il sera certainement mis à mort.
17Et celui qui maudit son père ou sa mère sera certainement mis à mort.
18Et si des hommes contestent entre eux, et que l’un frappe l’autre avec une pierre ou avec le poing, et qu’il ne meure pas, mais tienne le lit :
19s’il se lève et marche dehors sur son bâton, celui qui l’a frappé sera tenu pour quitte ; seulement, il paiera son chômage, et le fera guérir complètement.
20Et si quelqu’un frappe du bâton son serviteur ou sa servante, et qu’il meure sous sa main, il sera certainement vengé ;
21seulement, s’il reste debout un jour ou deux jours, il ne sera pas vengé, car il est son argent.
22Et si des hommes se querellent, et que [l’un d’eux] heurte une femme enceinte et qu’elle accouche sans qu’il y ait de malheur, une amende sera payée selon ce que le mari de la femme lui imposera, et il la donnera suivant [la décision des] juges.
23Et s’il arrive malheur, tu donneras vie pour vie,
24œil pour œil, dent pour dent, main pour main, pied pour pied,
25brûlure pour brûlure, blessure pour blessure, meurtrissure pour meurtrissure.
26Et si un homme frappe l’œil de son serviteur, ou l’œil de sa servante, et le lui fasse perdre, il les laissera aller libres pour l’œil ;
27et s’il fait tomber la dent de son serviteur ou la dent de sa servante, il les laissera aller libres pour la dent.
28Et si un bœuf frappe de ses cornes un homme ou une femme, et qu’ils en meurent, le bœuf sera certainement lapidé, et sa chair ne sera pas mangée ; mais le maître du bœuf sera [tenu pour] non coupable.
29Et si le bœuf frappait de ses cornes auparavant, et que son maître en ait été averti et qu’il ne l’ait pas tenu sous garde, et qu’il tue un homme ou une femme, le bœuf sera lapidé, et son maître aussi sera mis à mort.
30Et si une indemnité lui est imposée, il donnera la rançon de sa vie selon tout ce qui lui sera imposé.
31Soit qu’il ait frappé un fils, ou qu’il ait frappé une fille, il lui sera fait selon ce jugement.
32Si le bœuf a frappé de ses cornes un serviteur ou une servante, le possesseur donnera à son maître 30 sicles d’argent, et le bœuf sera lapidé.
33Et si un homme ouvre une fosse, ou si un homme creuse une fosse, et ne la couvre pas, et qu’un bœuf ou un âne y tombe,
34le propriétaire de la fosse donnera une compensation, il remettra l’argent au maître de la [bête] ; et la bête morte lui appartiendra.
35Et si le bœuf d’un homme heurte le bœuf de son prochain, et qu’il en meure, ils vendront le bœuf vivant, et en partageront l’argent, et ils partageront aussi le mort.
36Ou s’il était connu que le bœuf frappait de ses cornes auparavant, et que son maître ne l’ait pas tenu sous garde, il fera certainement compensation, bœuf pour bœuf ; et le [bœuf] mort lui appartiendra.
37Si un homme vole un bœuf, ou un mouton, et qu’il le tue ou le vende, il restituera cinq bœufs pour le bœuf, et quatre moutons pour le mouton.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ESTOS son los derechos que les propondrás.
2Si comprares siervo hebreo, seis años servirá; mas el séptimo saldrá horro de balde.
3Si entró solo, solo saldrá: si tenía mujer, saldrá él y su mujer con él.
4Si su amo le hubiere dado mujer, y ella le hubiere parido hijos ó hijas, la mujer y sus hijos serán de su amo, y él saldrá solo.
5Y si el siervo dijere: Yo amo á mi señor, á mi mujer y á mis hijos, no saldré libre:
6Entonces su amo lo hará llegar á los jueces, y harále llegar á la puerta ó al poste; y su amo le horadará la oreja con lesna, y será su siervo para siempre.
7Y cuando alguno vendiere su hija por sierva, no saldrá como suelen salir los siervos.
8Si no agradare á su señor, por lo cual no la tomó por esposa, permitirle ha que se rescate, y no la podrá vender á pueblo extraño cuando la desechare.
9Mas si la hubiere desposado con su hijo, hará con ella según la costumbre de las hijas.
10Si le tomare otra, no disminuirá su alimento, ni su vestido, ni el débito conyugal.
11Y si ninguna de estas tres cosas hiciere, ella saldrá de gracia sin dinero.
12El que hiriere á alguno, haciéndole así morir, él morirá.
13Mas el que no armó asechanzas, sino que Dios lo puso en sus manos, entonces yo te señalaré lugar al cual ha de huir.
14Además, si alguno se ensoberbeciere contra su prójimo, y lo matare con alevosía, de mi altar lo quitarás para que muera.
15Y el que hiriere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
16Asimismo el que robare una persona, y la vendiere, ó se hallare en sus manos, morirá.
17Igualmente el que maldijere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
18Además, si algunos riñeren, y alguno hiriere á su prójimo con piedra ó con el puño, y no muriere, pero cayere en cama;
19Si se levantare y anduviere fuera sobre su báculo, entonces será el que le hirió absuelto: solamente le satisfará lo que estuvo parado, y hará que le curen.
20Y si alguno hiriere á su siervo ó á su sierva con palo, y muriere bajo de su mano, será castigado:
21Mas si durare por un día ó dos, no será castigado, porque su dinero es.
22Si algunos riñeren, é hiriesen á mujer preñada, y ésta abortare, pero sin haber muerte, será penado conforme á lo que le impusiere el marido de la mujer y juzgaren los árbitros.
23Mas si hubiere muerte, entonces pagarás vida por vida,
24Ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie,
25Quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.
26Y cuando alguno hiriere el ojo de su siervo, ó el ojo de su sierva, y lo entortare, darále libertad por razón de su ojo.
27Y si sacare el diente de su siervo, ó el diente de su sierva, por su diente le dejará ir libre.
28Si un buey acorneare hombre ó mujer, y de resultas muriere, el buey será apedreado, y no se comerá su carne; mas el dueño del buey será absuelto.
29Pero si el buey era acorneador desde ayer y antes de ayer, y á su dueño le fué hecho requerimiento, y no lo hubiere guardado, y matare hombre ó mujer, el buey será apedreado, y también morirá su dueño.
30Si le fuere impuesto rescate, entonces dará por el rescate de su persona cuanto le fuere impuesto.
31Haya acorneado hijo, ó haya acorneado hija, conforme á este juicio se hará con él.
32Si el buey acorneare siervo ó sierva, pagará treinta siclos de plata su señor, y el buey será apedreado.
33Y si alguno abriere hoyo, ó cavare cisterna, y no la cubriere, y cayere allí buey ó asno,
34El dueño de la cisterna pagará el dinero, resarciendo á su dueño, y lo que fué muerto será suyo.
35Y si el buey de alguno hiriere al buey de su prójimo, y éste muriere, entonces venderán el buey vivo, y partirán el dinero de él, y también partirán el muerto.
36Mas si era notorio que el buey era acorneador de ayer y antes de ayer, y su dueño no lo hubiere guardado, pagará buey por buey, y el muerto será suyo.

King James Version
1Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
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.
5And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
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 aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
7And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
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.
9And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
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.
14But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
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.
20And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
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.
23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
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.
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.
28If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
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.
30If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
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.
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;
34The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
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.

1“Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
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.
5But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
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 forever.
7“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
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.
9If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15“Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16“Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17“Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
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;
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.
20“If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
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.
23But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
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.
27If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.
28“If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
29But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this 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.
30If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
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.
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,
34the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
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.
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.
