1These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.Queste sono le leggi giudiciali, che tu ad essi proporrai.THESE are the iudgements which thou shalt propose to them.Hæc sunt judicia quæ propones eis. 2If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee; in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.Se comprerai uno schiavo ebreo, egli servirà a te per sei anni: il settimo se n'andrà libero gratuitamente.If thou bye an Hebrew seruant, six yeares shal be serue thee: in the seuenth he shal goe out free gratis.Si emeris servum hebræum, sex annis serviet tibi: in septimo egredietur liber gratis. 3With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.Quale era la veste, con cui è venuto, con tal veste se n'andrà: se avea moglie, la moglie ancora se n'andrà insieme.With what rayment he entred in, with the like let him go out: if hauing a wise, his wife also shal goe out with him.Cum quali veste intraverit, cum tali exeat: si habens uxorem, et uxor egredietur simul. 4But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters; the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.Che se il padrone gli avrà dato moglie, e questa avrà partorito figliuoli, e figliuole, la donna, e i figliuoli di lei saranno del padrone; ma quegli se n'andrà colla sua veste.But if his lord geue him a wife, and she beare sonnes & daughters: the woman and her children shal be her lordes: but himselfe shal goe out with his rayment.Sin autem dominus dederit illi uxorem, et pepererit filios et filias: mulier et liberi ejus erunt domini sui, ipse vero exibit cum vestitu suo. 5And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:Che se lo schiavo dirà: Io voglio bene al mio padrone, e alla moglie, e a' figliuoli, io non voglio partire colla libertà;And if the seruant say: I loue my lord and wife & children, I wil not goe out free:Quod si dixerit servus: Diligo dominum meum et uxorem ac liberos; non egrediar liber: 6His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.Il padrone lo presenterà agli dii, e accostatolo alla porta, forerà a lui l'orecchio con una lesina: e questi rimarrà suo schiavo per sempre.his lord shal present him to the goddes, and he shal be sette to the dore and the postes, and he shal bore his eare through with an awle: and he shal be his bondman for euer.offeret eum dominus diis, et applicabitur ad ostium et postes, perforabitque aurem ejus subula: et erit ei servus in sæculum.
