Exodus 22
1 If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ezuru ehi maọbụ atụrụ gbuo ya, maọbụ ree ya, ọ ga-akwụghachi ehi ise nʼọnọdụ ehi ahụ. Nʼọnọdụ otu atụrụ o zuuru, ọ ga-akwụghachi atụrụ anọ.
2 If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.
“Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi mgbe ọ na-egbuka ụlọ onye ọzọ, ọ bụrụkwa na e tigbuo ya, mee ka ọ nwụọ, iwu ejideghị onye ahụ gburu ya.
3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
Kama ọ bụrụ na e tigburu onye ahụ mgbe chi bọcharala, ọmụma ikpe ga-adịrị onye ahụ tigburu ya. “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi, a ga-eme ka ọ kwụghachi ihe o zuru nʼohi. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ike kwụghachi, a ga-ere ya dịka ohu, jiri ego e retara kwụọ ụgwọ o ji.
4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
Ọ bụrụ na a chọta ihe o zuru nʼaka ya, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, ọ ga-akwụghachi ọnụahịa ya okpukpu abụọ.
5 If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ akpachara anya hapụ anụ ụlọ ya ka ọ gaa taa nri nʼubi maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ nʼubi onye ọzọ, onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ihe niile anụ ụlọ ya mebiri, ma ihe ọ ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ahụ aghaghị ịbụ ihe ọrụ ubi dị mma nke o si nʼubi ya maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị ya wepụta.
6 If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.
“Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ na-agba banye nʼogwu, repịa ogbo ọka dị nʼubi mmadụ maọbụ ọka guzoro eguzo, ma ọ bụkwanụ ọhịa niile, onye ahụ tinyere ọkụ ahụ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe ahụ niile nke ọkụ repịara.
7 If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enye enyi ya maọbụ onye agbataobi ya ego, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ka o debere ya, ma onye ohi agaa zuru ya site nʼụlọ ya, a si na e jide onye ohi dị otu a, ọ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe o zuru okpukpu abụọ.
8 If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.
Ọ bụrụ na a chọpụtaghị onye ohi ahụ, onye nwe ụlọ ahụ aghaghị ịbịa nʼihu Chineke, ka a chọpụta maọbụ ya nʼonwe ya setịpụrụ aka were ihe ahụ, bụ akụ nke onye ọzọ kpatara.
9 In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ehi ya, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, maọbụ atụrụ ya, maọbụ uwe, maọbụ ihe ọbụla furu efu, nke mmadụ na-asị, ‘Nke a bụ ya.’ Mmadụ abụọ ndị a ga-aga nʼihu ndị ikpe. Onye ọbụla ndị ikpe a mara ikpe ga-akwụghachi ibe ya ụgwọ okpukpu abụọ.
10 If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
“Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ mmadụ nyere onye agbataobi ya nʼaka idebe anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ, maọbụ gbafuo, ma anụ ụlọ ahụ ọ bụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ anụ ụlọ ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị onye hụrụ mgbe ihe ndị a dakwasịrị anụ ụlọ ahụ,
11 If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
mgbe ahụ, onye agbataobi ahụ e nyere anụ ndị a nʼaka idebe ga-aṅụ iyi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Iyi ahụ ọ ṅụrụ ga-egosi onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ na o zughị ya nʼohi. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụghachi ụgwọ ọbụla.
12 But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
Ma ọ bụrụ na o zuru anụ ụlọ ahụ nʼohi site na nke agbataobi ya, ọ ghaghị ịkwụghachi ụgwọ niile nye onyenwe ya.
13 But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
Ọ bụrụ na anụ ọhịa gburu ya, ọ ga-eweta ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ a dọgburu adọgbu, iji gosi na anụ ọhịa dọgburu ya. Ọ ga-esikwa otu a gbanarị ikpe ọmụma. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụkwa ụgwọ ọbụla nʼihi anụ ụlọ ahụ.
14 If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaziri anụ ụlọ site nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ mgbe onyenwe ya na-anọghị nʼebe ahụ, onye ahụ a gbazinyere anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya.
15 If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ nọ na nke onyenwe ya, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụ ụgwọ ọbụla. Ọ bụrụ na a kwụrụ ego mgbazi ọbụla nʼisi anụmanụ a, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụghachi ego ọbụla, nʼihi na ego mgbazi ọ kwuru ka a ga-ewere dịka ụgwọ.
16 If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.
“Ọ bụrụ na nwoke arafuo nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, site nʼime ka ha abụọ dinaa, nwoke ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ ga-alụkwa ya dịka nwunye ya.
17 If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
Ọ bụrụ na nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ ekwenyeghị ka nwoke ahụ lụọ ya, nwoke ahụ aghaghị ịkwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ.
18 Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
“E kwesighị ịhapụ nwanyị mgbaasị ndụ.
19 Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
“Onye ọbụla ya na anụ ọbụla dinakọrọ, e kwesiri ime ka ọ nwụọ.
20 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
“Onye ọbụla chụrụ aja nye chi ọzọ ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị, a ga-eme ka ọ nwụọ.
21 Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.
“Ọ kwesighị ka mmadụ ọbụla mesie onye ọbịa ihe ike nʼụzọ ọbụla. Unu aghaghị icheta na unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼala Ijipt.
22 Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
“Unu emegbula nwanyị ọbụla di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ onye ọbụla na-enweghị nne na nna.
23 If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
Unu megbuo ha, mee ka ha tikuo m, aga m anụ mkpu akwa ha, nyere ha aka.
24 And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.
Mgbe ahụ, iwe m dị oke ọkụ ga-eripịa unu. Aga m ejikwa mma agha tigbuo unu. Ndị nwunye unu ga-aghọkwa ndị inyom na-enweghị di, ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị na-enweghị nna.
25 If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.
“Ọ bụrụ na ị gbazinyere onye Hibru ego, onye bụ nwa mgbei, ị gaghị anara ya ọmụrụnwa.
26 If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:
Ọ bụrụ na ị nara ya uwe ya nʼihi ego ahụ ị gbazinyere ya, ekwela ka uwe ahụ nọgide nʼaka gị ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
27 For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.
Nʼihi na uwe ahụ nwere ike bụrụ naanị ihe o nwere, maọbụ uwe ọ ga-eji rahụ ụra. Ọ bụrụ na i zighachighị ya, o tikuo m site nʼịkwa akwa, aga m anụrụ mkpu akwa ya, nʼihi na abụ m onye obi ebere.
28 You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
“Ekwulula aha Chineke, abụkwala onye na-achị ndị gị ọnụ.
29 Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.
“Atụfukwala oge ọbụla nʼịkwụghachi onyinye unu kwesiri inye. Maọbụ nke mkpụrụ ala ubi gị, na nke mmanya vaịnị gị, na ụgwọ i kwesiri ịkwụ. “Ị ghaghị inye m nwa gị nwoke e buru ụzọ mụọ.
30 In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.
Otu a ka ị ga-emekwa banyere mkpụrụ mbụ nke ehi gị na atụrụ gị. Ị ga-ewebata ya nye m nʼụbọchị nke asatọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ha, mgbe ị hapụsịrị ha nne ha ụbọchị asaa.
31 You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
“Unu ga na-abụrụ m ndị dị nsọ. Nʼihi nke a, wezuganụ onwe unu nʼebe anụ a dọgburu adọgbu dị. Unu erikwala anụ dị otu a, kama tụpụrụnụ ya nkịta.
