Gadili Asi 22
1 Dunu afae da sibi afae o bulamagau afae wamolale amo fanelegesea o bidi lasea, e da bulamagau ouligisu dunuma bulamagau biyale gala dabe bu imunu o sibi ouligisu dunuma sibi biyaduyale agoane dabe bu imunu.
Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
2 E da ea wamolai liligi dabe defele bu imunu. Be e da muni o liligi hame galea, dilia amo dunu udigili hawa: hamoma: ne bidi lama: ne iasima. Be sibi o bulamagau e da hame fanelegei o bidilai, ea ouligisu amoga bu samogesea, wamolasu dunu da dabe afae wamolasea, aduna eno dabe imunu. Wamolasu dunu da gasia diasu gadelale, liligi wamolamusa: ganodini ahoasea, nowa dunu da amo wamolasu fanelegesea e da fanelegesu dunu agoane hame ba: mu. Be amo hou esoga hamosea, e da fanelegesu dunu agoane ba: mu.
If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
5 Dunu afae ea ohe fi da ea ifabi o waini efe sagai amo ganodini gisi nanebe ba: sea, e da amo noga: le hame ouligisia amola ilia da asili eno dunu ea ha: i manu bugi amo wadela: sea, ohe fi eda da amo ha: i manu gugunufinisi defele hi ha: i manu amo dunuma ima: mu.
If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
6 Dunu afae da ea sogebi amoga lalu didisia amola amo lalu da asili eno dunu ea ifabi ganodini widi o gagoma sagai o widi faili lala: gili ligi amo nesea, dunu da lalu didi da amo liligi gugunufinisi defele dabe imunu.
Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
7 Dunu afae da eno dunu ea muni o noga: i liligi amo ea diasuga ouligimu sia: sea, amola wamolasu dunu da amo liligi ea diasuga wamolasea, dilia amo wamolasu dunu ba: sea, e da ea wamolai amo aduna defele dabe bu imunu.
Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
8 Be wamolasu dunu hame ba: sea, dunu da amo noga: i liligi ouligi amo dilia sia: ne gadosu diasuga oule masa. Amogai e da Gode Dioba: le amo liligi hi da hame wamolai dafawane ilegele sia: ma: mu.
But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
9 Sia: ga gegesu huluane amo bai da bulamagau o dougi, dunu aduna da amo sia: ga gegesu galea, ela da amo sia: ga gegesu sia: ne gadosu diasuga hahamomu. Gode da giadofai hamosu dunu olelemu. Amola giadofai hamosu dunu da eno dunuma dabe adunawane imunu.
If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
10 Dunu afae da eno dunu ea dougi o bulamagau o sibi o eno ohe amo ouligimusa: sia: sea amola e da amo ohe ouligisia, ohe da bogosea o se nabasea o eno fi da ea fi amoga doagala: sea, amo ohe da wamolai dagoi ba: sea amola ba: su dunu da amo hou hame ba: i galea,
Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
11 amo ohe ouligisu dunu da sia: ne gadosu diasuga asili, e da Gode ba: ma: ne dafawane amane sia: mu, ‘Na da amo ohe hame wamolai.’ Fofada: su dunu da ouligisu dunu ohe hame wamolai ba: sea, defea, e da ohe edama dabe hame imunu. Ohe eda hi da amo ohe fisi dagoi ba: mu.
Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
12 Be amo ohe da wamolai dagoi ba: sea, ouligisu dunu da ohe eda amoma dabe imunu.
But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
13 Amo ohe da soge ohe fi amoga fanelegei ba: sea, ouligisu da amo ohe ea da: i hodo dodosa: i amo ba: su dunu ba: ma: ne gaguli misunu. Amasea, e da ohe sigua fi amoga medoi liligi amo ohe edama dabe hame imunu.
If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
14 Dunu afadafa da eno dunu ea ohe amo hawa: hamomusa: amola fa: no ema bu imunusa: bidi lasea, (da: i sia: ‘hire’) amola ohe ea ouligisu dunu maeba: le lelea, amo ohe da se nabasea o bogosea, amo dunu da ohe edama dabe imunu.
If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
15 Be ohe eda da esalea amo ohe da se nabasea o bogosea amola ohe eda hi ba: sea, lai dunu da ohe ea dabe hame imunu. E da muni bidi ia dagoiba: le, amo hou da hahamoi dagoi ba: mu.
But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
16 Dunu afae da dunuga hamelai a: fini amo gilisili golale wadela: sea, e da amo a: fini ea lamu dabe imunu. Amola e da amo a: fini hedolo dafawane lama: mu.
“If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
17 Be amo a: fini ea ada da amo a: fini ema imunu higasea, e da ea ada amoma a: fini dunuga hamelai ea dabe defele ea adama imunu.
But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
18 Nowa uda da fefedoasu o bosa: ga: su hou hamosea, amo medole legema.
You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
19 Nowa dunu da ohe fi aseme amoma uda adole lasu hou agoane hamosea, amo medole legema.
You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
20 Nowa dunu da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ amoma gobele salasu hamosea, amo dunu fanelegema. Na, Hina Gode, Nama fawane gobele salasu hamoma.
You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
21 Dilia da Idibidi soge ganodini ga fi dunu esalu, amo mae gogolema. Amaiba: le, ga fi dunu ilima se nabasu mae ima.
You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
22 Dilia didalo amola guluba: mano ilima se nabasu mae ima.
You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
23 Dilia da amoma se nabasu iasea, ilia da Nama fidima: ne digini wesea, amasea ilia wesu Na da nabimu.
If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
24 Na da dilima ougimu amola dili gegesu amo ganodini dili fanelegemu. Dilia uda da didaloi ba: mu amola dilia mano da guluba: i dagoi ba: mu.
And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
25 Dilia da hame gagui dunuma muni amo e da dima fa: no dabema: ne iasea, e bu iasea su muni eno amola gilisili ima: ne mae sia: ma.
If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and require him to pay interest on the money.
26 Di da muni amo dunu e da dima fa: no dabema: ne ema iasea, amo e bu ima: ne ea anegagi abula amo ilegema: ne di lasea, hedolowane eso da mae sa: ili daeya amoga ea anegagi abula ema bu ima.
If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
27 Bai e da ea da: i dogoloma: ne anegagi abula eno hame. E da noga: le golama: ne adi eno salima: bela: ? E da Na fidima: ne Nama wesea, Na da ea sia: nabimu. Bai Na hou da asigi hou amola Na da gogolema: ne olofosu dawa:
because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
28 Dilia Gode Ea hou da noga: i hame amane mae sia: ma, amola dilia fi ouligisu dunu ilima gagabusu aligima: ne mae sia: ma.
Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
29 Dilia hahawane udigili iasu Na adoi defele Nama ima. Amo da widi, gagoma, waini hano amola olife susuligi. Amola dilia magobo mano Nama ima.
(Do not withhold from/Give) me the best parts of the grain that you harvest and of the olive oil and the wine that you produce.
30 Dilia bulamagau amola sibi amo ilia magobo mano Nama ima. Magobo mano gawali da ea ame amoga eso fesuale esalumu. Amasea, eso godo amoga amo gawali magobo mano Nama ima.
You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
31 Dilia da Na fi esala. Amaiba: le, ohe da ohe sigua amoga gasonabeba: le bogoi, amo ea hu dilia mae moma. Be amo fisili, wa: megili ima.
You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
