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 steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay 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 the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed 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 has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has 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 stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay 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 causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

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 breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who 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 delivers to his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall 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 isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on 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 every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbour.

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

“If a man delivers to his neighbour a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, 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.

the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbour’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

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

But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.

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

If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. 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.

“If a man borrows anything of his neighbour’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

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

If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

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

“If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for 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 refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

١٨ 18 لَا تَدَعْ سَاحِرَةً تَعِيشُ.

“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

١٩ 19 كُلُّ مَنْ ضَاجَعَ بَهِيمَةً حَتْماً يُقْتَلُ.

“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

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

“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.

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

“You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

٢٢ 22 لَا تُسِئْ إِلَى أَرْمَلَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ،

“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

٢٣ 23 لأَنَّكَ إِنْ أَسَأْتَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَصَرَخَا إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعْ صُرَاخَهُمَا،

If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

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

and my wrath will grow 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 you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

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

If you take your neighbour’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes 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 only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

٢٨ 28 لَا تَشْتِمِ الْقُضَاةَ وَلا تَلْعَنْ رُؤَسَاءَ شَعْبِكَ.

“You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

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

“You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

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

You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

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

“You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
