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.
Če bo človek ukradel vola ali ovco in to zakolje ali proda, naj povrne pet volov za vola in štiri ovce za ovco.
2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
Če je najden tat, da vlamlja in je udarjen, da umre, potem naj zanj ne bo prelite nobene krvi.
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.
Če je nad njim vstalo sonce, naj bo zanj prelita kri, kajti moral bi narediti popolno povračilo. Če nima ničesar, potem naj bo prodan za svojo tatvino.
4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
Če je tatvina v njegovi roki zagotovo najdena živa, bodisi je to vol ali osel ali ovca, naj povrne dvojno.
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.
Če bo človek polju ali vinogradu povzročil, da bo požrto in bo vanj postavil svojo žival, pa se bo pasla na polju drugega človeka, naj povrne od najboljšega svojega lastnega polja in od najboljšega svojega lastnega vinograda.
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.
Če izbruhne ogenj in zajame trnje, tako da so s tem použite kopice žita ali stoječe žito ali polje, naj tisti, ki je zanetil ogenj, zagotovo naredi povračilo.
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.
Če bo človek izročil svojemu bližnjemu v hrambo denar ali stvari, pa bo to ukradeno iz človekove hiše; če bo tat najden, naj plača dvojno.
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.
Če tat ne bo najden, potem naj bo gospodar hiše priveden k sodnikom, da vidijo, ali je svojo roko položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega.
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.
Kajti vse vrste prekrški, bodisi je to za vola, za osla, za ovco, za oblačilo ali za katerokoli vrsto izgubljene stvari, za katero drug zatrjuje, da je njegova, naj zadeva obeh strani pride pred sodnike. In kogar bodo sodniki obsodili, naj svojemu bližnjemu plača dvojno.
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,
Če človek svojemu bližnjemu izroči osla ali vola ali ovco ali katerokoli žival v varstvo, pa ta pogine ali je ranjena ali odpeljana proč [in] noben človek tega ne vidi,
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.
potem naj bo Gospodova prisega med njima obema, da svoje roke ni položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega. Njegov lastnik bo od tega sprejel, oni pa tega ne bo povrnil.
12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
Če je to od njega ukradeno, naj od tega lastniku naredi povračilo.
13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.
Če bo to raztrgano na koščke, potem naj to prinese kot pričevanje, on pa ne bo povrnil tega, kar je bilo raztrgano.
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.
Če si človek karkoli izposodi od svojega bližnjega in je to poškodovano ali pogine, pa njegov lastnik ni bil s tem, naj on to zagotovo povrne.
15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
Vendar, če je bil lastnik od tega z njim, naj on tega ne povrne. Če je bila najeta stvar, je ta prišla za njegovo najemnino.
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.
Če mož privabi devico, ki ni zaročena in leži z njo, naj jo zagotovo oskrbi z doto, da postane njegova žena
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.
Če njen oče popolnoma odklanja, da mu jo da, naj plača denar glede na doto devic.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
Ne boš trpel, da bi čarovnica živela.
19 Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
Kdorkoli leži z živaljo, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
Kdor žrtvuje kateremukoli bogu, razen samo Gospodu, naj bo popolnoma uničen.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Tujca ne boš niti dražil niti zatiral, kajti tujci ste bili v egiptovski deželi.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
Ne boste stiskali katerekoli vdove ali osirotelega otroka.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
Če jih boste na kakršen koli način stiskali in oni kakorkoli kličejo k meni, bom zagotovo slišal njihov klic
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.
in moj bes se bo razvnel in ubil vas bom z mečem; in vaše žene bodo vdove in vaši otroci sirote.
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.
Če komurkoli izmed mojega ljudstva, ki je poleg tebe ubog, posodiš denar, do njega ne bodi kakor oderuh niti nanj ne nalagaj obresti.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Če sploh vzameš za jamstvo oblačilo svojega bližnjega, mu ga boš izročil do takrat, ko zahaja sonce.
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.
Kajti to je njegovo edino pokrivalo, to je njegovo oblačilo za njegovo kožo. V čem bo spal? In zgodilo se bo, ko kliče k meni, da bom slišal, kajti jaz sem milostljiv.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
Ne boš zasramoval bogov niti preklinjal vladarja svojega ljudstva.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
Ne boš odlašal darovati prvin od svojih zrelih sadov in od svojih žganih pijač. Prvorojenega izmed svojih sinov boš dal meni.
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.
Podobno boš storil s svojimi voli in s svojimi ovcami. Sedem dni naj bo ta s svojo materjo, na osmi dan pa ga boš dal meni.
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.
Vi mi boste sveti ljudje niti ne boste jedli kakršnega koli mesa, ki je raztrgano od živali na polju; vrgli ga boste psom.
