< Exodus 22 >

1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
Hlang loh vaito khaw, tu khaw a huen tih a ngawn akhaw, a yoih akhaw vaito ham te saelhung panga neh tu ham boiva pumli neh thuung saeh.
2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
Umlawt ah hlanghuen a hmuh tih a boh vaengah a duek atah a taengah thii kap boel saeh.
3 But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.
Khomik a thoeng atah a soah thii kap saeh lamtah aka huen loh sah rhoe sah saeh. A khueh pawt atah a huen dongah amah khaw yoi uh saeh.
4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
A huen te a kut dongah a hmuh la a hmuh atah vaito khaw, laak khaw, tu khaw a hing neh rhaepnit la sah saeh.
5 If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and allows them to stray so that they graze in someone else’s field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field or vineyard.
Hlang loh lohma neh misurdum a laem sak vaengah a rhamsa te a hlah tih a rhamsa loh a tloe lohma li te a laem pa atah a khohmuen lamkah a then, a misurdum kah aka then neh thuung saeh.
6 If a fire breaks out and spreads to thornbushes so that it consumes stacked or standing grain, or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution.
Hmai puek tih hling a dom vaengah canghlom neh canghli khaw, lohma khaw, a hlawp atah hmai aka hlong loh sah rhoe sah saeh.
7 If a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.
Hlang loh a hui te tangka khaw hnopai khaw khoembael sak ham a paek. Tedae im lamkah te hlang loh a huen tih hlanghuen te a hmuh atah a rhaep la thuung saeh.
8 If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has taken his neighbor’s property.
Hlanghuen te a hmuh pawt atah a hui kah hno dongah a kut hlah pawt cakhaw im kung te Pathen taengla kun saeh.
9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost item that someone claims, ‘This is mine,’ both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.
Boekoeknah olka cungkuem dongah vaito khaw, laak khaw, tu khaw, himbai khaw, he hnohma ni a ti boeih tah a panit la Pathen mikhmuh ah ol hang khuen saeh. Pathen kah a boe sak long te tah a hui te a rhaep la sah saeh.
10 If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,
Hlang loh a hui taengah laak neh vaito, tu neh rhamsa cungkuem khaw dawn ham a paek dae, duek mai tih tlawt mai ni, a hmuh pawt vaengah khaw a mawt pah khaming.
11 an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.
Te vaengah a hui kah hnopai soah a kut hlah pawt ham amih rhoi laklo ah BOEIPA kah olhlo om saeh. A kungmah long khaw doe saeh lamtah sah boel saeh.
12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
Tedae anih taeng lamloh a huen la a huen atah a kungmah te sah saeh.
13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.
Te te a ngaeh rhoe a ngaeh tila laipai hang khuen atah saha te sah boel saeh.
14 If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.
Hlang loh a hui taeng lamkah a vat dae a taengah a kungmah a om pawt vaengah a khaem sak tih a duek atah sah rhoe sah saeh.
15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
A kungmah te a taengah a om atah sah boel saeh. Te te a kutloh coeng atah a thapang neh mael saeh.
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.
Tongpa loh oila a bae mueh te a yoek tih a taengah a yalh atah a yuu la oei rhoe oei saeh.
17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.
A napa loh hula te anih taengah paek ham a aal la a aal atah oila kah maan bangla tangka thuek pah saeh.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
Hlangbi khaw hing sak boeh.
19 Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
Rhamsa taengkah aka yalh boeih tah duek rhoe duek saeh.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
YAHWEH amah bueng taeng pawt ah pathen tloe rhoek taengah aka nawn tah thup saeh.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Yinlai khaw vuelvaek boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om uh coeng dongah nen boeh.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
Nuhmai neh cadah boeih tah phaep boeh.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
Na phaep la na phaep tih kai taengah a pang la a pang atah a pangngawlnah te ka hnatun rhoe ka hnatun pah ni.
24 My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
Te vaengah ka thintoek sai vetih nangmih te cunghang neh kang ngawn ni. Na yuu rhoek te nuhmai la, na ca rhoek khaw cadah la om uh ni.
25 If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.
Nangmih taengkah ka pilnam mangdaeng te tangka na hlah pah atah a taengah puhlah bangla om boeh. Anih te a casai khueh pah boeh.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Na hui kah himbai te na laikoi la na laikoi atah khomik a khum hlan ah amah taengla mael laeh.
27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
A himbai khaw te kah himbai bueng ni a vin sokah a himbai nah dongah metlam a yalh eh? Ka lungvatnah oeh dongah ka taengla a pang vaengah ka hnatun pah ni ta.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
Pathen te thaephoei thil boeh, na pilnam sokah khoboei khaw thaephoei thil boeh.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
Na thaihhmin neh na tuihuem khaw hloh thil boeh, na ca caming khaw kamah taengla m'pae.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to Me.
Na vaito taeng neh na boiva taengah khaw saii tangloeng. Hnin rhih khuiah a manu neh om saeh lamtah hnin rhet dongah tah kamah taengla m'pae.
31 You are to be My holy people. You must not eat the meat of a mauled animal found in the field; you are to throw it to the dogs.
Kamah taengah hlang cim la om uh laeh. Khohmuen kah saha saa khaw ca uh boeh. Te te ui ham voeih pah.
