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.
Cuando alguno hurtare buey, u oveja, y lo degollare, o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
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.
Si el ladrón fuere hallado en la mina, y fuere herido, y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, él será reo de muerte, pagando pagará: si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, buey, o asno, u oveja, vivos, pagará dos.
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.
Si alguno paciere tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, lo mejor de su tierra y lo mejor de su viña pagará.
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.
Cuando saliere el fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, o haza, o tierra, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
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.
Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata, o vasos a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble:
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.
Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será llegado a los jueces para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
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.
Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando alguno dijere: Que esto es; la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces, y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble a su prójimo.
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:
Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquiera otro animal a guardar, y se muriere, o se perniquebrare, o fuere cautivado sin verlo nadie:
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.
Juramento de Jehová será entre ambos, que no metió su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo. Y su dueño se contentará, y el otro no pagará.
12 But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, pagar lo ha a su dueño.
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.
Mas si le hubiere sido arrebatado, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
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.
Ítem, cuando alguno hubiere tomado emprestado de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrado o muerto, ausente su dueño, pagará.
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.
Si su dueño estaba presente, no pagará. Si era de alquiler, el vendrá por su alquile.
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.
Ítem, cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, dotarla ha por su mujer.
17 If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
A la hechicera no darás la vida.
19 Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.
20 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
El que sacrificare a dioses, sino a solo Jehová, morirá.
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.
Y al extranjero no engañaras, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto,
22 Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
Que si tú afligiendo los afligieres, y ellos clamando clamaren a mí, yo oyendo oiré su clamor;
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.
Y mi furor se encenderá, y mataros he a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.
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.
Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te habrás con él como usurero, no le impondréis usura.
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:
Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puesta del sol se lo volverás:
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.
Porque solo aquello es su cobertura, aquel es el vestido de sus carnes en que ha de dormir: y será, que cuando él clamare a mí, yo entonces lo oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
28 You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
A los dioses no injuriarás, ni maldecirás al príncipe en tu pueblo.
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.
Tu plenitud, ni tu lágrima, no dilatarás, el primogénito de tus hijos me darás.
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.
Así harás de tu buey, de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
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.
Y serme heis varones santos: y carne arrebatada en el campo no comeréis, echarla heis al perro.
