1 “These are the regulations you are to present to them:
1 Y ESTOS son los derechos que les propondrás.
1 “Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to work for you for six years. But in the seventh year, he is to be freed without having to pay anything.
2 Si comprares siervo hebreo, seis años servirá; mas el séptimo saldrá horro de balde.
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 If he was single when he came, he is to leave single. If he had a wife when he came, she is to leave with him.
3 Si entró solo, solo saldrá: si tenía mujer, saldrá él y su mujer con él.
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 If his master provides him a wife and she has children with him, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall be freed.
4 Si 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.
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 However, if the slave formally states, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to be freed,’
5 Y si el siervo dijere: Yo amo á mi señor, á mi mujer y á mis hijos, no saldré libre:
5 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 is to take him before the judges. Then he shall have him stand against the door or doorpost and use a metal tool to make a hole in his ear. Then he shall work for his master for life.
6 Entonces 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.
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 If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be freed in the same way as male slaves.
7 Y cuando alguno vendiere su hija por sierva, no saldrá como suelen salir los siervos.
7 “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
8 If the man who chose her for himself is not pleased with her, he must let her be bought back. He is not permitted to sell her to foreigners, since he has been unfair to her.
8 Si 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.
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 If he chooses to give her to his son, he must treat her as a daughter.
9 Mas si la hubiere desposado con su hijo, hará con ella según la costumbre de las hijas.
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 If he takes another woman, he must not reduce the food and clothing allowances and marital rights of the first.
10 Si le tomare otra, no disminuirá su alimento, ni su vestido, ni el débito conyugal.
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 If he doesn't give her these three things, she is free to leave without paying anything.
11 Y si ninguna de estas tres cosas hiciere, ella saldrá de gracia sin dinero.
11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 Anyone who hits and kills someone else must be executed.
12 El que hiriere á alguno, haciéndole así morir, él morirá.
12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 However, if it wasn't intentional and God let it happen, then I will arrange a place for you where they can run to and be safe.
13 Mas el que no armó asechanzas, sino que Dios [lo] puso en sus manos, entonces yo te señalaré lugar al cual ha de huir.
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 But if someone deliberately plans and purposely kills another, you must take them away from my altar and execute them.
14 Además, si alguno se ensoberbeciere contra su prójimo, y lo matare con alevosía, de mi altar lo quitarás para que muera.
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 Anyone who hits their father or mother must be executed.
15 Y el que hiriere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 Anyone who kidnaps someone else must be executed, whether the victim is sold or is still in their possession.
16 Asimismo el que robare una persona, y la vendiere, ó se hallare en sus manos, morirá.
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 despises their father or mother must be executed.
17 Igualmente el que maldijere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
17 “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 If men are fighting and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist, and the injured man doesn't die but has to stay in bed,
18 Además, si algunos riñeren, y alguno hiriere á su prójimo con piedra ó con el puño, y no muriere, pero cayere en cama;
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 and then gets up and walks around outside with his walking stick, then the one who hit him won't be punished. Even so, he must still compensate the man for the time lost from his work and make sure that he's completely healed.
19 Si 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.
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 Anyone who hits their male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies as a result, must be punished.
20 Y si alguno hiriere á su siervo ó á su sierva con palo, y muriere bajo de su mano, será castigado:
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 However, if after a day or two the slave gets better, the owner won't be punished because the slave is their property.
21 Mas si durare por un día ó dos, no será castigado, porque su dinero es.
21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 If men who are fighting happen to hit a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely, but no serious injury occurs, he must be fined whatever amount the woman's husband demands and as permitted by the judges.
22 Si 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.
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 But if a serious injury does occur, then you must pay a life for a life,
23 Mas si hubiere muerte, entonces pagarás vida por vida,
23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24 an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,
24 Ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, and a bruise for a bruise.
25 Quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 Anyone who hits their male or female slave in the eye and blinds them must free the slave as compensation for the eye.
26 Y cuando alguno hiriere el ojo de su siervo, ó el ojo de su sierva, y lo entortare, darále libertad por razón de su ojo.
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 Anyone who knocks out the tooth of their male or female slave must free the slave as compensation for the tooth.
27 Y si sacare el diente de su siervo, ó el diente de su sierva, por su diente le dejará ir libre.
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 If an ox uses its horns to kill a man or woman, the ox must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox won't be punished.
28 Si 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.
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 But if the ox has repeatedly hurt people with its horns, and its owner has been warned but still doesn't keep it under control, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned to death and its owner must also be executed.
29 Pero 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.
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 But if instead the payment of compensation is required, the owner may buy back his or her life by paying the full amount of compensation demanded.
30 Si le fuere impuesto rescate, entonces dará por el rescate de su persona cuanto le fuere impuesto.
30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 If the ox uses its horns and kills a son or a daughter the same rule is applicable.
31 Haya acorneado hijo, ó haya acorneado hija, conforme á este juicio se hará con él.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 If the ox uses its horns and kills a male or female slave, the owner of the ox must pay thirty shekels of silver to the slave's master, and the ox must be stoned to death.
32 Si el buey acorneare siervo ó sierva, pagará treinta siclos de plata su señor, y el buey será apedreado.
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 If someone removes the cover of a cistern or digs one and doesn't cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
33 Y si alguno abriere hoyo, ó cavare cisterna, y no la cubriere, y cayere allí buey ó asno,
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 the owner of the pit must pay compensation to the animal's owner and keep the dead animal.
34 El dueño de la cisterna pagará el dinero, resarciendo á su dueño, y lo que fué muerto será suyo.
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 If someone's ox injures another's ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and share money received; they must also share the dead animal.
35 Y 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.
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 But if it was known that the ox had repeatedly hurt people with its horns, and its owner had been warned but still didn't keep it under control, full compensation must be paid, ox for ox, but the owner can keep the dead animal.”
36 Mas 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.
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.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.
