< 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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá jí akọ màlúù tàbí àgùntàn, tí ó sì pa á tàbí tà á. Ó gbọdọ̀ san akọ màlúù márùn-ún padà fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí, àti àgùntàn mẹ́rin mìíràn fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí.
2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
“Bí a bá mú olè níbi ti ó ti ń fọ́lé, ti a sì lù ú pa, ẹni tí ó lù ú pa náà kò ní ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ojú ọ̀sán, a ó kà á si ìpànìyàn. Ọkùnrin ti ó lù ú pa náà yóò ni ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀. “Olè gbọdọ̀ san ohun tí ó jí padà. Ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá ni ohun ti ó lè fi san án padà, a ó tà á, a ó sì fi sanwó ohun tí ó jí gbé padà.
4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
Bí a bá rí ẹran tí ó jí gbé náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní ààyè: ìbá ṣe akọ màlúù, akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí àgùntàn, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ń bọ́ ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀ lórí pápá tàbí nínú ọgbà àjàrà, tí ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ jẹ nínú oko ẹlòmíràn, a ó mú kí ó san ohun ti ẹran rẹ̀ jẹ padà pẹ̀lú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú oko tàbí nínú ọgbà rẹ̀ (ẹlòmíràn padà fún un).
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.
“Bí iná bá ṣẹ́ tí ó kán lu igbó tí ó sì jó àká ọkà tàbí gbogbo oko náà, ẹni tí iná ṣẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ yóò san ohun tí iná ti ó ṣẹ́ jó padà.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní fàdákà tàbí ohun èlò fún ìtọ́jú, ti wọ́n sì jí gbé lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí a bá mú irú olè bẹ́ẹ̀, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti a kò bá rí olè náà mú, baálé ilé náà yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìdájọ́ láti jẹ́ kí a mọ̀ bí òun fúnra rẹ̀ ni ó gbé ohun ti ó sọnù náà.
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.
Bí ẹnìkan bá ni akọ màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn, aṣọ tàbí ohun ìní mìíràn tí ó sọnù ní ọ̀nà ti kò bá òfin mu, tí a sì rí ẹni ti ó sọ pé òun ni ó ní ín, àwọn méjèèjì yóò mú ẹjọ́ wọn wá sí iwájú adájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí adájọ́ bá dá lẹ́bi yóò san án ni ìlọ́po méjì padà fún ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
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,
“Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, akọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ẹranko mìíràn láti bá òun tọ́jú rẹ̀, tí ó sì kú, tàbí tí ó fi ara pa, tàbí tí a jí gbé, níbi tí kò ti sí ẹni tí o ṣe àkíyèsí.
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.
Wọn yóò búra sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà láàrín ara wọn ni iwájú Olúwa láti fihàn pé òun kò ní ọwọ́ nínú sísọnù ohun ọ̀sìn náà, olóhun gbọdọ̀ gba bẹ́ẹ̀, a kò sì ní san ohunkóhun fún un.
12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti wọ́n bá jí ẹranko náà gbé ni ọ̀dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, yóò san ẹ̀san padà fún olúwa rẹ̀.
13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.
Bí ẹranko búburú bá fà á ya, ó ní láti mú àyakù ẹran náà wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí, kò sì ní san ẹran náà padà.
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.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá sì yá ẹranko lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ẹranko náà sì fi ara pa, tàbí kí ó kú nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ni í kò sí nítòsí. O gbọdọ̀ san án padà.
15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá jẹ́ wí pé olóhun bá wà pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà, ẹni tí ó ya lò kò ní san ẹ̀san padà. Bí a bá yá ẹranko náà lò, owó tí ó fi yá a lò ni yóò fi tan àdánù ẹranko tí ó kú.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi àrékérekè mú wúńdíá kan, ẹni tí kò pinnu láti fẹ́, tí ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, yóò san owó orí rẹ̀, yóò sì fi ṣe aya rẹ̀.
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.
Bí baba ọmọbìnrin náà bá kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti fi fún un ní aya, ó ni láti san owó tó tó owó orí rẹ̀ fún fífẹ́ ẹ ní wúńdíá.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
“Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjẹ́ kí ó wà láààyè.
19 Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá bá ẹranko lòpọ̀ ní a ó pa.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú ẹbọ sí òrìṣà yàtọ̀ sí Olúwa nìkan, ni a ó yà sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
“Ẹ má ṣe fi ìyà jẹ àlejò tàbí ni wọ́n lára, nítorí ìwọ pẹ̀lú ti jẹ́ àjèjì ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti rí.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
“Má ṣe yan opó tàbí ọmọ òrukàn jẹ.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
Bí ìwọ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, bí wọn bá ké pè mi. Èmi yóò sì gbọ́ ohùn igbe wọn.
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.
Ìbínú mi yóò ru sókè. Èmi yóò sì fi idà pa ọ. Ìyàwó rẹ yóò di opó, àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò sì di aláìní baba.
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.
“Bí ìwọ bá yá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ìyà ń jẹ láàrín yín lówó, má ṣe dàbí ayánilówó, kí o má sì gba èlé.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Bí ìwọ bá gba aṣọ aládùúgbò rẹ ni ẹ̀jẹ́, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fún un padà kí oòrùn tó ó wọ̀,
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.
nítorí aṣọ yìí nìkan ní ó ní ti ó lè fi bo àṣírí ara. Kí ni ohun mìíràn ti yóò fi sùn? Nígbà ti ó bá gbé ohun rẹ̀ sókè sí mi, èmi yóò gbọ́ nítorí aláàánú ni èmi.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run tàbí gégùn lé orí ìjòyè àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ lọ́ra láti mú ọrẹ wá fún mi láti inú ìre oko rẹ àti láti inú wáìnì rẹ. “Àkọ́bí ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi.
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.
Ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ pẹ̀lú agbo màlúù rẹ àti agbo àgùntàn rẹ. Jẹ́ kí wọn wà lọ́dọ̀ ìyá wọn fún ọjọ́ méje, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fi wọ́n fún mi ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ.
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.
“Ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mímọ́ mi. Nítorí náà má ṣe jẹ ẹran ti ẹranko búburú fàya: ẹ fi fún ajá jẹ.
