Put him to work, for that is his purpose in life; and if he does not obey, burden him with fetters. However, do not be overbearing toward anyone, and do nothing contrary to justice.
Set him to work, as is fitting for him, and if he does not obey, make his fetters heavy. Do not be overbearing toward anyone, and do nothing unjust.
If you have a slave, treat him as you would want to be treated; you bought him with your hard-earned money.
If a faithful servant is to thee, be he as thy soul to thee; treat thou him so as a brother, for thou hast bought him in (or with) the blood of life. [If there is to thee a faithful servant, be he to thee as thy life; as a brother so treat him, for in blood of life thou boughtest him.]
If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, because you have bought him with blood.
Set them to work as is fitting for them, and if they do not obey make their fetters heavy. Do not be overbearing toward anyone, and do nothing without deliberation.
Set him to work, as is fitting for him, and if he does not obey, make his fetters heavy. Do not be overbearing towards anyone, and do nothing unjust.
Set them to work, as is proper for them, and if they don’t obey, make their shackles heavy. Don’t overburden a person made of flesh, and don’t do anything without exercising good judgment.
Put him to work, as is fitting for him; and if he does not obey, load him with chains. But never lord it over any human being, and do nothing unjust.
If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, because you have bought him with blood.
