1 “Now these are the decrees that you must set before them:
1 Y ESTOS son los derechos que les propondrás.
2 'If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve for six years, and in the seventh year he will go free without paying anything.
2 Si comprares siervo hebreo, seis años servirá; mas el séptimo saldrá horro de balde.
3 If he came by himself, he must go free by himself; if he is married, then his wife must go free with him.
3 Si entró solo, solo saldrá: si tenía mujer, saldrá él y su mujer con él.
4 If his master gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and he must go free by himself.
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.
5 But if the servant plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,”
5 Y si el siervo dijere: Yo amo á mi señor, á mi mujer y á mis hijos, no saldré libre:
6 then his master must bring him to God. The master must bring him to a door or doorpost, and his master must bore his ear through with an awl. Then the servant will serve him 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.
7 If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she must not go free as the male servants do.
7 Y cuando alguno vendiere su hija por sierva, no saldrá como suelen salir los siervos.
8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he must let her be bought back. He has no right to sell her to a foreign people. He has no such right, since he has treated her deceitfully.
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.
9 If her master designates her as a wife for his son, he must treat her the same as if she were his daughter.
9 Mas si la hubiere desposado con su hijo, hará con ella según la costumbre de las hijas.
10 If he takes another wife for himself, he must not diminish her food, clothing, or her marital rights.
10 Si le tomare otra, no disminuirá su alimento, ni su vestido, ni el débito conyugal.
11 But if he does not provide these three things for her, then she can go free without paying any money.
11 Y si ninguna de estas tres cosas hiciere, ella saldrá de gracia sin dinero.
12 Whoever strikes a man so that he dies, that person must surely be put to death.
12 El que hiriere á alguno, haciéndole así morir, él morirá.
13 If the man did not do it with premeditation, but instead by accident, then I will fix a place to where he can flee.
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.
14 If a man willfully attacks his neighbor and kills him according to a cunning plan, then you must take him, even if he is at God's altar, so that he may die.
14 Además, si alguno se ensoberbeciere contra su prójimo, y lo matare con alevosía, de mi altar lo quitarás para que muera.
15 Whoever hits his father or mother must surely be put to death.
15 Y el que hiriere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
16 Whoever kidnaps a person—whether the kidnapper sells him, or that person is found in his hand—that kidnapper must be put to death.
16 Asimismo el que robare una persona, y la vendiere, ó se hallare en sus manos, morirá.
17 Whoever curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death.
17 Igualmente el que maldijere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
18 If men fight and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist, and that person does not die, but is confined to his 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;
19 then if he recovers and is able to walk about using his staff, the man who struck him must pay for the loss of his time; he must also pay for his complete recovery. But that man is not guilty of murder.
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.
20 If a man hits his male servant or his female servant with a staff, and if the servant dies as a result of the blow, then that man must surely be punished.
20 Y si alguno hiriere á su siervo ó á su sierva con palo, y muriere bajo de su mano, será castigado:
21 However, if the servant lives for a day or two, the master must not be punished, for he will have suffered the loss of the servant.
21 Mas si durare por un día ó dos, no será castigado, porque su dinero es.
22 If men fight together and hurt a pregnant woman so that she miscarries, but there is no other injury to her, then the guilty man must surely be fined as the woman's husband demands it from him, and he must pay as the judges determine.
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.
23 But if there is serious injury, then you must give a life for a life,
23 Mas si hubiere muerte, entonces pagarás vida por vida,
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,
25 a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, or a bruise for a bruise.
25 Quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.
26 If a man hits the eye of his male servant or of his female servant and destroys it, then he must let the servant go free in compensation for his 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.
27 If he knocks out a tooth of his male servant or female servant, he must let the servant go free 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.
28 If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its flesh must not be eaten; but the ox's owner must be acquitted of guilt.
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.
29 But if the ox had a habit of goring in the past, and its owner was warned but did not keep it in, and the ox has killed a man or a woman, that ox must be stoned, and its owner also must be put to death.
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.
30 If a payment is required for his life, he must pay whatever he is required to pay.
30 Si le fuere impuesto rescate, entonces dará por el rescate de su persona cuanto le fuere impuesto.
31 If the ox has gored a man's son or daughter, the ox's owner must do what this decree requires him to do.
31 Haya acorneado hijo, ó haya acorneado hija, conforme á este juicio se hará con él.
32 If the ox gores a male servant or a female servant, the ox's owner must pay thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.
32 Si el buey acorneare siervo ó sierva, pagará treinta siclos de plata su señor, y el buey será apedreado.
33 If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not 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,
34 the owner of the pit must repay the loss. He must give money to the dead animal's owner, and the dead animal will become his.
34 El dueño de la cisterna pagará el dinero, resarciendo á su dueño, y lo que fué muerto será suyo.
35 If one man's ox hurts another man's ox so that it dies, then they must sell the live ox and divide its price, and they must also divide the dead ox.
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.
36 But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring in time past, and its owner has not kept it in, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will become his own.
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.

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.
