خرُوج 22

١ 1 وَإذَا سَرَقَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ خَرُوفاً وَذَبَحَهُ أَوْ بَاعَهُ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الثَّوْرِ بِخَمْسَةِ ثِيرَانٍ، وَصَاحِبَ الْخَرُوفِ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ.

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

٢ 2 إِذَا ضُبِطَ السَّارِقُ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ لَيْلاً وَضُرِبَ فَمَاتَ، يَذْهَبُ دَمُهُ هَدْراً.

If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.

٣ 3 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ ضُبِطَ بَعْدَ شُرُوقِ الشَّمْسِ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ وَضُرِبَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، يَكُونُ الضَّارِبُ مُطَالَباً بِدَمِهِ. عَلَى اللِّصِّ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ تَعْوِيضاً. إِنْ كَانَ مُعْدَماً، يُبَاعُ بِسَرِقَتِهِ.

If the sun be risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him; [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

٤ 4 وَإذَا وُجِدَ الْحَيَوَانُ الْمَسْرُوقُ حَيًّا فِي حَوْزَتِهِ، ثَوْراً كَانَ أَمْ حِمَاراً أَمْ خَرُوفاً، يُعَوِّضُ السَّارِقُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ.

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

٥ 5 إِذَا سَرَّحَ إِنْسَانٌ بَهَائِمَهُ لِتَرْعَى فِي حَقْلِ جَارِهِ أَوِ كَرْمِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الْحَقْلِ أَوِ الْكَرْمِ مِنْ أَجْوَدِ نِتَاجِ حَقْلِهِ أَوْ كَرْمِهِ.

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

٦ 6 إذَا انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ وَامْتَدَّتْ مِنَ الشَّوْكِ إِلَى أَكْدَاسِ الْقَمْحِ أَوِ السَّنَابِلِ النَّامِيَةِ أَوْ مَزْرُوعَاتِ الْحُقُولِ، فَعَلَى مَنْ أَوْقَدَ النَّارَ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ الْخَسَارَةَ.

If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith; ] he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

٧ 7 إذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ فِضَّةً أَوْ أَمْتِعَةً أَمَانَةً، ثُمَّ سُرِقَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَعَلَى السَّارِقِ إِذَا اكْتُشِفَ أَمْرُهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ ضِعْفَيْ قِيمَةِ الْمَسْرُوقِ كَتَعْوِيضٍ.

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا لَمْ يُقْبَضْ عَلَى اللِّصِّ، يَمْثُلُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ لِيُقَرِّرُوا إنْ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي امْتَدَّتْ يَدُهُ إِلَى أَمْتِعَةِ صَاحِبِهِ.

If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, [to see] whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.

٩ 9 فِي كُلِّ قَضِيَّةِ حِيَازَةٍ غَيْرِ شَرْعِيَّةٍ سَوَاءَ أَكَانَتْ مُتَعَلِّقَةً بِثَوْبٍ أَمْ حِمَارٍ أَمْ خَرُوفٍ أَمْ ثَوْرٍ أَمْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ مَفْقُودٍ، يَدَّعِي شَخْصٌ مَا أَنَّهُ يمْلِكُهُ، يَمْثُلُ الطَّرَفَانِ الْمُتَنَازِعَانِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ، وَمَنْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُضَاةُ بِالذَّنْبِ يُعَوِّضُ صَاحِبَهُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ.

For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, which [another] challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

١٠ 10 إِذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ حِمَاراً أَوْ بَهِيمَةً أَمَانَةً، فَمَاتَ أَوْ تَأَذَّى أَوْ سُرِقَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ.

If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing [it: ]

١١ 11 يَحْلِفُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ بِالرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى مِلْكِ جَارِهِ، فَيَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ الْيَمِينَ وَلا يَأْخُذُ تَعْوِيضاً.

[Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept [thereof], and he shall not make [it] good.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سُرِقَ مِنْهُ بِفِعْلِ الْإِهْمَالِ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَهُ.

And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا إِذَا افْتُرِسَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِأَشْلائِهِ شَهَادَةً عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلا يُطَالَبُ بِالتَّعْوِيضِ عَنِ الْحَيَوَانِ الْمُفْتَرَسِ.

If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.

١٤ 14 إِذَا اسْتَعَارَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ شَيْئاً فَانْكَسَرَ أَوْ مَاتَ فِي غِيَابِ صَاحِبِهِ، يَدْفَعُ المُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً.

And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.

١٥ 15 لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُ الْحَيَوَانِ حَاضِراً، فَلا يَدْفَعُ الْمُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً. أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ الْحَيَوَانُ أَوِ الشَّيْءُ مُسْتَأْجَراً، فَتُغَطِّي الأُجْرَةُ الْمَدْفُوعَةُ قِيمَةَ الْخَسَارَةِ.

[But] if the owner thereof [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] an hired [thing], it came for his hire.

١٦ 16 إِذَا رَاوَدَ رَجُلٌ عَذْرَاءَ غَيْرَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ، وَعَاشَرَهَا، يَدْفَعُ مَهْرَهَا وَيَتَزَوَّجُهَا،

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

١٧ 17 وَإِنْ أَبَى وَالِدُهَا قَطْعِيًّا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْهُ، يَتَحَتَّمْ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَدْفَعَ لَهُ مَهْرَ العَذَارَى.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

١٩ 19 كُلُّ مَنْ ضَاجَعَ بَهِيمَةً حَتْماً يُقْتَلُ.

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

٢٠ 20 مَنْ يُقَرِّبْ ذَبَائِحَ لِآلِهَةٍ غَيْرِ الرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، يُبَدْ.

He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

٢١ 21 لَا تَضْطَهِدْ غَرِيباً وَلا تُضَايِقْهُ، فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

٢٢ 22 لَا تُسِئْ إِلَى أَرْمَلَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ،

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

٢٣ 23 لأَنَّكَ إِنْ أَسَأْتَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَصَرَخَا إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعْ صُرَاخَهُمَا،

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

٢٤ 24 فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي وَأَقْتُلُكُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَتُصْبِحُ زَوْجَاتُكُمْ أَرَامِلَ وَأَوْلادُكُمْ يَتَامَى.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

٢٥ 25 إِنْ أَقْرَضْتَ فَقِيراً مِنْ شَعْبِيَ الْمُقِيمِ عِنْدَكَ فَلا تُعَامِلْهُ كَالْمُرَابيِ، وَلا تَتَقَاضَ مِنْهُ فَائِدَةً.

If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

٢٦ 26 إِذَا اسْتَرْهَنْتَ ثَوْبَ صَاحِبِكَ لِقَاءَ دَيْنٍ، فَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ،

If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

٢٧ 27 لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبَ هُوَ ثَوْبُهُ الَّذِي يَقِي بِهِ بَدَنَهُ، وَإلَّا فَبِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَنَامُ؟ إِذَا صَرَخَ إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعُهُ لأَنِّي رَحِيمٌ.

For that [is] his covering only, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.

Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

٢٩ 29 لَا تُؤَخِّرْ تَقْدِيمَ بَاكُورَةِ مَحْصُولِ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمَعْصَرَتِكَ، وَأَعْطِنِي أَبْكَارَ بَنِيكَ.

Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

٣٠ 30 وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِبَقَرِكَ وَغَنَمِكَ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُبْقِي الْبِكْرَ مَعَ أُمِّهِ، وَفِي يَوْمِهِ الثَّامِنِ تُقَدِّمُهُ لِي.

Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

٣١ 31 وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً. لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ فَرِيسَةٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، بَلِ اطْرَحُوهُ طَعَاماً لِلْكِلابِ.

And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
