Here is the same part of the verse in the KJV (King James Version) and what he is saying is that God's law is for the slave traders who are being included as those who are ungodly and sinful.
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
*Menstealers= slave dealers, slave traders
Oh pullease, it's well known that the Jews didn't have anything against enslaving foreigners. Apparently cherry picking your evidence is a skill you've mastered well.
Menstealers, definition, kidnapper. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/menstealers/
(And I'll note that because it can mean something other than slaver, it doesn't necessarily mean slaver in that passage. Got anything else, shit for brains?)
That is the way it's translated in every other version of the Bible and they are the ones who studied the original language, so you are wrong as usual.
