1 И вот законы, которые ты объявишь им:
1 “Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 если купишь раба Еврея, пусть он работает [тебе] шесть лет, а в седьмой [год] пусть выйдет на волю даром;
2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3 если он пришел один, пусть один и выйдет; а если он женатый, пусть выйдет с ним и жена его;
3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 если же господин его дал ему жену и она родила ему сынов, или дочерей, то жена и дети ее пусть останутся у господина ее, а он выйдет один;
4 If 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.
5 но если раб скажет: люблю господина моего, жену мою и детей моих, не пойду на волю, —
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
6 то пусть господин его приведет его пред богов и поставит его к двери, или к косяку, и проколет ему господин его ухо шилом, и он останется рабом его вечно.
6 then 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 Если кто продаст дочь свою в рабыни, то она не может выйти, как выходят рабы;
7 “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
8 если она не угодна господину своему и он не обручит ее, пусть позволит выкупить ее; а чужому народу продать ее [господин] не властен, когда сам пренебрег ее;
8 If 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.
9 если он обручит ее сыну своему, пусть поступит с нею по праву дочерей;
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 если же другую возьмет за него, то она не должна лишаться пищи, одежды и супружеского сожития;
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 а если он сих трех вещей не сделает для нее, пусть она отойдет даром, без выкупа.
11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 Кто ударит человека так, что он умрет, да будет предан смерти;
12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 но если кто не злоумышлял, а Бог попустил ему попасть под руки его, то Я назначу у тебя место, куда убежать [убийце];
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 а если кто с намерением умертвит ближнего коварно [и прибежит к жертвеннику], то и от жертвенника Моего бери его на смерть.
14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 Кто ударит отца своего, или свою мать, того должно предать смерти.
15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 Кто украдет человека [из сынов Израилевых] и [поработив его] продаст его, или найдется он в руках у него, то должно предать его смерти.
16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 Кто злословит отца своего, или свою мать, того должно предать смерти.
17 “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 Когда ссорятся [двое], и один человек ударит другого камнем, или кулаком, и тот не умрет, но сляжет в постель,
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;
19 то, если он встанет и будет выходить из дома с помощью палки, ударивший [его] не будет повинен смерти; только пусть заплатит за остановку в его работе и даст на лечение его.
19 if 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 А если кто ударит раба своего, или служанку свою палкою, и они умрут под рукою его, то он должен быть наказан;
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.
21 но если они день или два дня переживут, то не должно наказывать его, ибо это его серебро.
21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 Когда дерутся люди, и ударят беременную женщину, и она выкинет, но не будет другого вреда, то взять с виновного пеню, какую наложит на него муж той женщины, и он должен заплатить оную при посредниках;
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.
23 а если будет вред, то отдай душу за душу,
23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24 глаз за глаз, зуб за зуб, руку за руку, ногу за ногу,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 обожжение за обожжение, рану за рану, ушиб за ушиб.
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 Если кто раба своего ударит в глаз, или служанку свою в глаз, и повредит его, пусть отпустит их на волю за глаз;
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.
27 и если выбьет зуб рабу своему, или рабе своей, пусть отпустит их на волю за зуб.
27 If 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 Если вол забодает мужчину или женщину до смерти, то вола побить камнями и мяса его не есть; а хозяин вола не виноват;
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.
29 но если вол бодлив был и вчера и третьего дня, и хозяин его, быв извещен о сем, не стерег его, а он убил мужчину или женщину, то вола побить камнями, и хозяина его предать смерти;
29 But 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.
30 если на него наложен будет выкуп, пусть даст выкуп за душу свою, какой наложен будет на него.
30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 Сына ли забодает, дочь ли забодает, — по сему же закону поступать с ним.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 Если вол забодает раба или рабу, то господину их заплатить тридцать сиклей серебра, а вола побить камнями.
32 If 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 Если кто раскроет яму, или если выкопает яму и не покроет ее, и упадет в нее вол или осел,
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,
34 то хозяин ямы должен заплатить, отдать серебро хозяину их, а труп будет его.
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
35 Если чей-нибудь вол забодает до смерти вола у соседа его, пусть продадут живого вола и разделят пополам цену его; также и убитого пусть разделят пополам;
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.
36 а если известно было, что вол бодлив был и вчера и третьего дня, но хозяин его [быв извещен о сем] не стерег его, то должен он заплатить вола за вола, а убитый будет его.
36 Or 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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For, "honor," saith He, "thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest live long upon the earth." And again, "He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death." But He, omitting the first, the reward appointed for them that honor their parents, states that which is more awful, the punishment, I mean, threatened to such as dishonor them; …

… put no obstacle to godliness in our way, if we are ever carried away by ingratitude, and, forgetting their benefits to us, hold them in contempt, then the oracle will have place which says, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
