Exodus 21

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 "These are the rules you shall lay before them.	1 Αυται δε ειναι αι κρισεις, τας οποιας θελεις εκθεσει εμπροσθεν αυτων.
2 When you purchase a Hebrew slave, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he shall be given his freedom without cost.	2 Εαν αγορασης δουλον Εβραιον, εξ ετη θελει δουλευσει? εν δε τω εβδομω θελει εξελθει ελευθερος, δωρεαν.
3 If he comes into service alone, he shall leave alone; if he comes with a wife, his wife shall leave with him.	3 Εαν εισηλθε μονος, μονος θελει εξελθει? εαν ειχε γυναικα, τοτε η γυνη αυτου θελει εξελθει μετ' αυτου.
4 But if his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall remain the master's property and the man shall leave alone.	4 Εαν ο κυριος αυτου εδωκεν εις αυτον γυναικα, και εγεννησεν εις αυτον υιους η θυγατερας, η γυνη και τα τεκνα αυτης θελουσιν εισθαι του κυριου αυτης, αυτος δε θελει εξελθει μονος.
5 If, however, the slave declares, 'I am devoted to my master and my wife and children; I will not go free,'	5 Αλλ' εαν ο δουλος ειπη φανερα, Αγαπω τον κυριον μου, την γυναικα μου και τα τεκνα μου, δεν θελω εξελθει ελευθερος?
6 his master shall bring him to God and there, at the door or doorpost, he shall pierce his ear with an awl, thus keeping him as his slave forever.	6 τοτε ο κυριος αυτου θελει φερει αυτον προς τους κριτας? και θελει φερει αυτον εις την θυραν η εις τον παραστατην της θυρας, και ο κυριος αυτου θελει τρυπησει το ωτιον αυτου με τρυπητηριον? και θελει δουλευει αυτον διαπαντος.
7 "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do.	7 Και εαν τις πωληση την θυγατερα αυτου δια δουλην, δεν θελει εξελθει καθως εξερχονται οι δουλοι.
8 But if her master, who had destined her for himself, dislikes her, he shall let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to a foreigner, since he has broken faith with her.	8 Εαν δεν αρεση εις τον κυριον αυτης, οστις ηρραβωνισθη αυτην εις εαυτον, τοτε θελει απολυτρωσει αυτην? εις ξενον εθνος δεν θελει εχει εξουσιαν να πωληση αυτην, επειδη εφερθη προς αυτην απιστως.
9 If he destines her for his son, he shall treat her like a daughter.	9 Αν ομως ηρραβωνισεν αυτην με τον υιον αυτου, θελει καμει προς αυτην κατα το δικαιωμα των θυγατερων.
10 If he takes another wife, he shall not withhold her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights.	10 Εαν λαβη εις εαυτον αλλην, δεν θελει στερησει την τροφην αυτης, τα ενδυματα αυτης, και το προς αυτην χρεος του γαμου.
11 If he does not grant her these three things, she shall be given her freedom absolutely, without cost to her.	11 Εαν ομως δεν καμνη εις αυτην τα τρια ταυτα, τοτε θελει εξελθει δωρεαν ανευ αργυριου.
12 "Whoever strikes a man a mortal blow must be put to death.	12 Οστις παταξη ανθρωπον, και αποθανη, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη?
13 He, however, who did not hunt a man down, but caused his death by an act of God, may flee to a place which I will set apart for this purpose.	13 εαν ομως δεν παρεμονευσεν, αλλ' ο Θεος παρεδωκεν αυτον εις την χειρα αυτου, τοτε εγω θελω σοι διορισει τοπον, οπου θελει καταφυγει?
14 But when a man kills another after maliciously scheming to do so, you must take him even from my altar and put him to death.	14 εαν δε τις εγερθη κατα του πλησιον αυτου δια να δολοφονηση αυτον, απο του θυσιαστηριου μου θελεις αποσπασει αυτον δια να θανατωθη.
15 Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death.	15 Και οστις παταξη τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.
16 "A kidnaper, whether he sells his victim or still has him when caught, shall be put to death.	16 Και οστις κλεψη ανθρωπον και πωληση αυτον, η εαν ευρεθη εις τας χειρας αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.
17 "Whoever curses his father or mother shall be put to death.	17 Και οστις κακολογη τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.
18 "When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, not mortally, but enough to put him in bed,	18 Και εαν ανθρωποι λογομαχωσι μετ' αλληλων και ο εις παταξη τον αλλον με λιθον η με γρονθον, και δεν αποθανη αλλα γεινη κλινηρης,
19 the one who struck the blow shall be acquitted, provided the other can get up and walk around with the help of his staff. Still, he must compensate him for his enforced idleness and provide for his complete cure.	19 εαν σηκωθη και περιπατηση εξω με την βακτηριαν αυτου, τοτε θελει εισθαι ελευθερος ο παταξας? μονον θελει αποζημιωσει αυτον δια την αργιαν αυτου και θελει επιμεληθη την τελειαν θεραπειαν αυτου.
20 "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.	20 Και εαν τις παταξη τον δουλον αυτου η την δουλην αυτου με ραβδον, και αποθανη υπο τας χειρας αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος τιμωρηθη.
21 If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.	21 Αν ομως ζηση μιαν ημεραν η δυο, δεν θελει τιμωρηθη? διοτι ειναι αργυριον αυτου.
22 "When men have a fight and hurt a pregnant woman, so that she suffers a miscarriage, but no further injury, the guilty one shall be fined as much as the woman's husband demands of him, and he shall pay in the presence of the judges.	22 Εαν μαχωνται ανδρες και παταξωσι γυναικα εγκυον και εξελθη το παιδιον αυτης, δεν συμβη ομως συμφορα? θελει εξαπαντος καμει αποζημιωσιν ο παταξας, οποιαν ο ανηρ της γυναικος επιβαλη εις αυτον? και θελει πληρωσει κατα την αποφασιν των κριτων.
23 But if injury ensues, you shall give life for life,	23 Αν ομως συμβη συμφορα, τοτε θελεις δωσει ζωην αντι ζωης,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,	24 οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου, οδοντα αντι οδοντος, χειρα αντι χειρος, ποδα αντι ποδος,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.	25 καυσιμον αντι καυσιματος, πληγην αντι πληγης, κτυπημα αντι κτυπηματος.
26 "When a man strikes his male or female slave in the eye and destroys the use of the eye, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the eye.	26 Εαν τις παταξη τον οφθαλμον του δουλου αυτου η τον οφθαλμον της δουλης αυτου και τυφλωση αυτον, θελει αφησει αυτον ελευθερον εξ αιτιας του οφθαλμου αυτου.
27 If he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the tooth.	27 Και εαν εκβαλη τον οδοντα του δουλον αυτου η τον οδοντα της δουλης αυτου, θελει αφησει αυτον ελευθερον εξ αιτιας του οδοντος αυτου.
28 "When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned; its flesh may not be eaten. The owner of the ox, however, shall go unpunished.	28 Εαν βους κερατιση ανδρα η γυναικα, και αποθανη, τοτε ο βους θελει λιθοβοληθη με λιθους και δεν θελει τρωγεσθαι το κρεας αυτου? ο κυριος δε του βοος θελει εισθαι αθωος.
29 But if an ox was previously in the habit of goring people and its owner, though warned, would not keep it in; should it then kill a man or a woman, not only must the ox be stoned, but its owner also must be put to death.	29 Εαν ομως ο βους ητο κερατιστης απο προτερον, και εγεινε διαμαρτυρια εις τον κυριον αυτου και δεν εφυλαξεν αυτον, εαν θανατωση ανδρα η γυναικα, ο βους θελει λιθοβοληθη και ακομη ο κυριος αυτου θελει θανατωθη.
30 If, however, a fine is imposed on him, he must pay in ransom for his life whatever amount is imposed on him.	30 Εαν επιβληθη εις αυτον τιμη εξαγορασεως, θελει δωσει δια την εξαγορασιν της ζωης αυτου οσα ηθελον επιβληθη εις αυτον.
31 This law applies if it is a boy or a girl that the ox gores.	31 Ειτε υιον κερατιση, ειτε θυγατερα κερατιση, κατα την κρισιν ταυτην θελει γεινει εις αυτον.
32 But if it is a male or a female slave that it gores, he must pay the owner of the slave thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.	32 Εαν ο βους κερατιση δουλον η δουλην, θελει δωσει εις τον κυριον αυτων τριακοντα σικλους αργυριου? ο δε βους θελει λιθοβοληθη.
33 "When a man uncovers or digs a cistern and does not cover it over again, should an ox or an ass fall into it,	33 Και εαν τις ανοιξη λακκον η εαν τις σκαψη λακκον και δεν σκεπαση αυτον, και πεση εις αυτον βους η ονος,
34 the owner of the cistern must make good by restoring the value of the animal to its owner; the dead animal, however, he may keep.	34 ο κυριος του λακκου θελει καμει αποζημιωσιν, αργυριον θελει αποδωσει εις τον κυριον αυτων? το δε θανατωθεν θελει εισθαι αυτου.
35 "When one man's ox hurts another's ox so badly that it dies, they shall sell the live ox and divide this money as well as the dead animal equally between them.	35 Και εαν ο βους τινος κερατιση τον βουν του πλησιον αυτου και θανατωθη, τοτε θελουσι πωλησει τον ζωντα βουν, και θελουσι μοιρασθη το αργυριον αυτου και τον θανατωθεντα ομοιως θελουσι μοιρασθη.
36 But if it was known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner would not keep it in, he must make full restitution, an ox for an ox; but the dead animal he may keep. (v 37) "When a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for the one ox, and four sheep for the one sheep.	36 Εαν ομως ηναι γνωστον οτι ο βους ητο κερατιστης απο προτερον, και ο κυριος αυτου δεν εφυλαξεν αυτον, θελει εξαπαντος πληρωσει βουν αντι βοος? ο δε θανατωθεις θελει εισθαι αυτου.
