Exodo 22

1 Kong ang usa ka tawo mangawat ug vaca kun carnero, ug pagaihawon niya kun igabaligya niya, magabayad siya ug lima ka vaca tungod niadtong usa ka vaca, ug upat ka carnero tungod niadtong usa ka carnero.

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 Kong ang kawatan hikaplagan nga nagaguba aron makasulod sa usa ka balay, ug masamaran sa pagkaagi nga mamatay siya, walay pagapakasad-on sa dugo tungod kaniya.

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.

3 Kong ang adlaw misubang na sa ibabaw niya, ang makapatay sad-an sa pagkamamumuno sa isigkatawo: ang kawatan magauli sa hingpit gayud; kong wala gayud siya, igabaligya siya tungod sa iyang gikawat.

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.

4 Kong hikaplagan nga buhi ang kinawat sa iyang kamot, bisan vaca, kun asno kun carnero, magabayad siya sa pilo.

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 Kong ang usa ka tawo magapasibsib sa uma kun parrasan, ug magabuhi sa iyang hayupan, ug kini makasibsib sa uma sa uban; nan magabayad siya gikan sa labing maayo sa iyang uma, ug sa labing maayo sa iyang parrasan.

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 Kong may sunog ug kini makadangat sa mga tonok, ang pinondok nga uhay kun ang uhay nga nagatindog, kun ang tibook nga uma masunog, ang nagduslit sa kalayo magabayad.

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 Kong ang usa ka tawo magatugyan sa iyang isigkatawo ug salapi kun kataigayonan nga patipigan, ug pagakawaton sa balay niadtong tawohana, kong ang kawatan hikaplagan, magabayad siya sa pilo.

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 Kong ang kawatan dili hikaplagan, unya ang tag-iya sa balay magaduol sa mga maghuhukom aron pagasusihon kong wala ba niya ibutang ang iyang kamot sa bahandi sa iyang isigkatawo.

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 Alang sa tanan nga hulosayon sa paglapas, mahatungod sa vaca, mahatungod sa asno, mahatungod sa carnero, mahatungod sa bisti, kun mahatungod sa bisan unsa nga butang nga nawala, nga ang usa magaingon: Mao kini, ang buruka sa duruha pagadad-on sa atubangan sa mga maghuhukom; ug siya nga pagahukman sa silot sa mga maghuhukom, magabayad sa pilo sa iyang isigkatawo.

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 Kong ang usa ka tawo makatugyan sa iyang isigkatawo ug asno, kun vaca, kun carnero, bisan unsa nga mananap nga pagabantayan, ug kini mamatay, kun madaut, kun pagaabugon sa halayo nga walay bisan kinsa nga nakakita niini,

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 Ang panumpa ni Jehova magapataliwala kanilang duruha nga wala niya ibutang ang iyang kamot sa bahandi sa iyang isigkatawo: ug ang tag-iya niadto magadawat niana, ug ang usa dili magabayad.

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 Apan kong kini gikawat gikan kaniya magabayad siya sa tag-iya niana.

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 Ug kong nakuniskunis kini siya magadala niini aron ikapamatuod, ug dili siya magabayad niadtong nakunis kunis.

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 Ug kong ang usa ka tawo makahulam ug hayup sa iyang isigkatawo, ug kini madaut kun mamatay, nga wala diha ang tag-iya niini kinahanglan nga siya magabayad gayud.

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 Kong ang tag-iya diha uban niini, kini dili niya pagabayran: kong kini inabangan, kini nagaadto tungod sa iyang abang.

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 Ug kong ang usa ka lalake maglimbong sa usa ka ulay nga dili pa kinasal ug motipon sa paghigda kaniya, kinahanglan nga magabayad siya ug bugay aron kini maasawa niya.

“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 Kong ang iyang amahan dili gayud mobuot nga ihatag siya sa lalake, siya magabayad ug salapi sumala sa bugay sa mga ulay.

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 Sa malamaton nga babaye dili ka magtugot nga mabuhi.

You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).

19 Bisan kinsa nga magpakighilawas sa mananap, pagapatyon gayud siya.

You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.

20 Kadtong magahalad sa bisan unsang dios gawas kang Jehova lamang pagalaglagon gayud siya.

You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.

21 Ug sa dumuloong dili ka magpanamastamas, dili mo usab paglupigan siya; kay kamo nanagdumuloong sa yuta sa Egipto.

You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.

22 Dili mo pagsakiton ang bisan kinsa nga balo nga babaye kun ang ilo nga bata.

You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.

23 Kong ikaw magasakit gayud kanila sa bisan unsang paagi, ug sila magatu-aw gayud kanako, sa pagkamatuod magapatalinghug ako sa ilang pagtu-aw;

If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.

24 Ug ang akong kaligutgut magadilaab, ug kamo pagapatyon ko sa espada, ug ang inyong mga asawa mangabalo, ug mangailo ang inyong mga anak.

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 Kong ikaw magapahulam ug salapi sa bisan kinsa sa akong katawohan nga kabus nga anaa uban kanimo, dili ka makigsama sa magpapautang kaniya, ni magapaulos ka kaniya tungod sa tubo.

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 Kong magadawat ka ug prenda nga bisti sa imong isigkatawo, igauli mo kini kaniya sa dili pa mosalop ang adlaw:

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 Kay kini mao lamang ang iyang igatabon, kini mao ang iyang bisti nga igatabon sa iyang panit: unsa man ang pagakatulgan niya? ug mahitabo nga kong siya magatu-aw kanako, unya ako magapatalinghug kaniya, kay ako maloloy-on man.

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 Dili mo pagdauton ang mga maghuhukom, dili ka usab magtunglo sa pangulo sa imong katawohan.

Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.

29 Dili mo paglanganon paghalad sa inunahan sa imong mga abut, ni ang inawas sa imong mga giukanan: igahatag mo kanako ang panganay sa imong mga anak.

(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 Mao usab kini ang pagabuhaton mo sa imong mga vaca, ug sa imong mga carnero; pito ka adlaw nga kini magauban sa iyang inahan, ug sa ikawalo ka adlaw, kini igahatag mo kanako.

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 Ug kamo mahimo nga mga tawo nga balaan alang kanako; busa dili kamo managpangaon ug unod nga kinuniskunis sa mga mananap nga ihalas sa kapatagan; igalabay ninyo kini ngadto sa mga iro.

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].”
