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.
Si yon moun vòlò yon bèf osinon yon mouton, si li touye l' epi li vann li, li gen pou l' bay senk bèf pou bèf li pran an osinon kat mouton pou mouton li pran an.
2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
Si yo bare yon vòlè ap kase yon kay epi yo touye l', moun ki touye l' la pa koupab.
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.
Men, si sa rive apre solèy fin leve, moun ki touye l' la koupab. Li gen pou l' peye pou li, wè pa wè. Si li pa gen anyen, y'a vann li pou yo ka peye pou sa l' te vòlò a.
4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
Men, si yo jwenn bèt li te vòlò a vivan nan men l' toujou, kit se bèf, kit se kabrit, kit se bourik, l'a renmèt de pou yonn.
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.
Si yon moun kite bèt li manje nan jaden yon lòt, osinon nan jaden rezen li, si yon moun kite bèt li lage pou yo fè kont dega nan jaden yon lòt moun, li gen pou l' dedonmaje lòt moun lan. L'a ba li pi bon bagay li gen nan jaden pa l' la osinon nan jaden rezen l' yo.
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.
Si yon dife pran yon kote, li tonbe nan zèb chèch epi li rive boule danre ki nan depo, osinon grenn ki fin keyi, ou ankò yon jaden tou plante, moun ki lakòz dife a va peye yon dedomajman.
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.
Si yon moun pran lajan l' osinon yon bagay ki gen anpil valè, li bay yon lòt moun sere l' pou li, si yo rive vòlò bagay sa yo nan kay moun ki te sere yo a, si yo jwenn vòlè a, vòlè a va gen pou renmèt de fwa lavalè.
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.
Men, si yo pa jwenn vòlè a, y'a mennen mèt kay kote bagay yo te sere a devan lòtèl Bondye a, pou yo wè si se pa li menm ki te pran bagay lòt moun lan.
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.
Si yon moun pèdi yon bagay, kit se yon bèf, osinon yon bourik, ou ankò yon mouton, kit se yon rad ou nenpòt lòt bagay, si lè yo jwenn sak te pèdi a yon lòt moun pretann di se pou li li ye, y'a mennen yo tou de devan lòtèl Bondye a pou regle sa. Moun Bondye va kondannen an va gen pou l' bay lòt la de fwa lavalè pou dedomajman.
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,
Si yon moun bay yon frè parèy li gade yon bourik, yon bèf, yon mouton, ou ankò nenpòt ki lòt bèt pou li, si bèt la mouri osinon si malè rive l' ou ankò si piyajè pran l' san pesonn pa wè sa,
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.
lè sa a, y'a mande ni mèt bèt la ni gadò a pou yo fè sèman devan lòtèl Bondye a. Moun ki t'ap gade bèt la va deklare se pa li menm ki te pran bèt lòt moun lan. Lè sa a, mèt bèt la va asepte pèt la. Gadò a p'ap gen ankenn dedomajman pou l' bay.
12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
Men si se vòlò yo te vòlò bèt la nan men l', l'a gen pou l' peye mèt la kichòy.
13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.
Si se bèt nan bwa ki devore bèt la, l'a pote rès la pou mèt bèt la ka wè ak de je l' se pa manti l'ap ba li. Li p'ap gen anyen pou l' peye pou sa.
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.
Si yon moun prete yon bèt nan men yon frè parèy li, epi malè rive bèt la, osinon li mouri an absans mèt li, se pou l' peye mèt bèt la kichòy.
15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
Men, si mèt la te la lè malè a rive, moun lan pa gen anyen pou l' peye. Si se yon bèt li te lwe, se pri li te lwe l' la ase pou li bay.
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.
Si yon nonm pran tèt yon jenn fi ki poko fiyanse, epi li kouche avè l', li gen pou l' peye lajan yo konn bay pou yon maryaj, epi se pou l' marye ak jenn fi a.
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.
Men, si papa jenn fi a refize kite l' marye avè l', tout jan se pou msye peye lajan yo bay lè yo pral marye ak yon fi ki tifi.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
Se pou nou touye tout fanm k'ap fè maji.
19 Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
Se pou yo touye tout moun ki kwaze ak zannimo.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
Si yon moun ofri bèt pou yo touye pou lòt bondye pase Seyè a, se pou yo disparèt li tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi nou. Piga nou peze yo non plis, paske nou menm, chonje nou te etranje tou nan peyi Lejip.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
Piga nou maltrete ni vèv yo, ni timoun san papa yo.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
Si nou malmennen yo, m'ap reponn yo lè y'a rele mande m' sekou.
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.
m'a fache, m'a fè nou mouri nan lagè. Konsa, madanm nou yo ap vin vèv tou, pitit nou yo ap rete san papa tou.
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.
Si nou prete yonn nan frè parèy nou yo lajan, yonn nan pòv ki nan mitan nou yo, piga nou fè tankou moun k'ap bay ponya pou nou egzije l' peye enterè.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Si yon nonm plane levit li lakay ou pou ou prete l' yon ti kòb, se pou ou renmèt li rad li anvan solèy kouche.
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.
Paske, se sèl rad li gen pou l' mete sou li pou fredi pa bat li. Kisa pou l' mete sou li pou l' kouvri aswè? Si li rele mande m' sekou, m'a reponn li paske mwen gen bon kè.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
Piga nou pale Bondye mal. Piga nou bay chèf pèp la madichon.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
Pa pran reta pou n' ofri m' sa pou n' ofri m' nan rekòt danre nou yo ak nan diven nou. n'a ban mwen premye pitit gason nou yo.
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.
N'a ban mwen tou premye pitit bèf nou yo ak premye pitit mouton nou yo. Ti bèt la va pase sèt jou avèk manman l'. Sou wityèm jou a n'a ofri l' ban mwen.
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.
Se pou nou mache tankou moun k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Pa manje vyann bèt nou jwenn lòt bèt nan bwa devore. Vyann konsa se chen pou nou jete l' bay.
