Leviticus 24:17-20 CEV
(17) Death is also the penalty for murder,
(18) but the killing of an animal that belongs to someone else requires only that the animal be replaced.
(19) Personal injuries to others must be dealt with in keeping with the crime--
(20) a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth.
Leviticus 24:17-20 LITV
(17) And a man, when he strikes the soul from any man, dying he shall die.
(18) And he who smites an animal to death shall make it good, soul for soul.
(19) And when a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, as he has done, so it shall be done to him;
(20) break for break, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has given a blemish to be in a man, so it shall be done to him.
Leviticus 24:17-20 ESV
(17) "Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.
(18) Whoever takes an animal's life shall make it good, life for life.
(19) If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him,
(20) fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.
Leviticus 24:17-20 NWT
17 "'And in case a man strikes any soul of mankind fatally, he should be put to death without fail. 18 And the fatal striker of the soul of a domestic animal should make compensation for it, soul for soul. 19 And in case a man should cause a defect in his associate, then just as he has done, so it should be done to him. 20 Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the same sort of defect he may cause in the man, that is what should be caused in him.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
