| 1 | Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. | Ce sont ici les lois que tu leur proposeras. | Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them. |
| 2 | If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. | Si tu achètes un esclave Hébreu, il te servira six ans, et au septième il sortira pour être libre, sans rien payer. | If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. |
| 3 | If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. | S'il est venu avec son corps seulement, il sortira avec son corps; s'il avait une femme, sa femme sortira aussi avec lui. | If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him. |
| 4 | If 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. | Si son maître lui a donné une femme qui lui ait enfanté des fils, ou des filles, sa femme et les enfants qu'il en aura, seront à son maître, mais il sortira avec son corps. | If his master give him a wife and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master`s, and he shall go out by himself. |
| 5 | And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: | Que si l'esclave dit positivement: j'aime mon maître, ma femme, et mes enfants, je ne sortirai point pour être libre. | But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: |
| 6 | Then 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. | Alors 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 une alêne; et il le servira à toujours. | then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. |
| 7 | And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. | Si quelqu'un vend sa fille pour être esclave, elle ne sortira point comme les esclaves sortent. | And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do. |
| 8 | If 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. | Si elle déplaît à son maître, qui ne l'aura point fiancée, il la fera acheter; mais il n'aura pas le pouvoir de la vendre à un peuple étranger, après qu'il lui aura été infidèle. | If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. |
| 9 | And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. | Mais s'il l'a fiancée à son fils, il fera pour elle selon le droit des filles. | And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. |
| 10 | If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. | Que s'il en prend une autre pour lui, il ne retranchera rien de sa nourriture, de ses habits, et de l'amitié qui lui est due. | If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. |
| 11 | And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money. | S'il ne fait pas pour elle ces trois choses-là, elle sortira sans payer aucun argent. | And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money. |
| 12 | He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. | Si quelqu'un frappe un homme, et qu'il en meure, on le fera mourir de mort. | He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall surely be put to death. |
| 13 | And 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. | Que s'il ne lui a point dressé d'embûche, mais que Dieu l'ait fait tomber entre ses mains, je t'établirai un lieu où il s'enfuira. | And 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. |
| 14 | But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. | Mais si quelqu'un s'est élevé de propos délibéré contre son prochain, pour le tuer par finesse, tu le tireras de mon autel, afin qu'il meure. | And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. |

| 18 | And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: | Si quelques-uns ont eu querelle, et que l'un ait frappé l'autre d'une pierre, ou du poing, dont il ne soit point mort, mais qu'il soit obligé de se mettre au lit; | And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed; |
| 19 | If 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. | S'il se lève, et mArche dehors s'appuyant sur son bâton, celui qui l'aura frappé, sera absous; toutefois il le dédommagera de ce qu'il a chômé, et le fera guérir entièrement. | if 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. |
| 20 | And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. | Si quelqu'un a frappé du bâton son serviteur ou sa servante, et qu'il soit mort sous sa main, on ne manquera point d'en faire punition. | And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall surely be punished. |

| 22 | If 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. | Si des hommes se querellent, et que l'un d'eux frappe une femme enceinte, et qu'elle en accouche, s'il n'y a pas cas de mort, il sera condamné à l'amende telle que le mari de la femme la lui imposera, et il la donnera selon que les Juges en ordonneront. | And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman`s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. |
| 23 | And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, | Mais s'il y a cas de mort, tu donneras vie pour vie, | But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life, |
| 24 | Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, | Oeil pour oeil, dent pour dent, main pour main, pied pour pied, | eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, |
