"These are the laws you are to set before them:
"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything.
If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him.
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
"But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,'
then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.
「你在百姓面前所要立的典章是這樣:
你若買希伯來人作奴僕,他必服事你六年;第七年他可以自由,白白地出去。
他若孤身來就可以孤身去;他若有妻,他的妻就可以同他出去。
他主人若給他妻子,妻子給他生了兒子或女兒,妻子和兒女要歸主人,他要獨自出去。
倘或奴僕明說:『我愛我的主人和我的妻子兒女,不願意自由出去。』
他的主人就要帶他到審判官(或作:神;下同)那裡,又要帶他到門前,靠近門框,用錐子穿他的耳朵,他就永遠服事主人。

- 2
All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered.
Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves. These are the things you are to teach and insist on.
凡在軛下作僕人的,當以自己主人配受十分的恭敬,免得神的名和道理被人褻瀆。
僕人有信道的主人,不可因為與他是弟兄就輕看他;更要加意服事他;因為得服事之益處的,是信道蒙愛的。你要以此教訓人,勸勉人。
