καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ ὀπήτιον καὶ τρυπήσεις τὸ ὠτίον αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἔσται σοι οἰκέτης εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ τὴν παιδίσκην σου ποιήσεις ὡσαύτως.

Latin (Vulgate)
assumes subulam, et perforabis aurem ejus in janua domus tuæ, et serviet tibi usque in æternum. Ancillæ quoque similiter facies.
Entonces tomarás una lesna, y horadarás su oreja junto á la puerta, y será tu siervo para siempre: así también harás á tu criada.
then take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your servant for life. And treat your maidservant the same way.
