Exodus 22
1 And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep.
si quis furatus fuerit bovem aut ovem et occiderit vel vendiderit quinque boves pro uno bove restituet et quattuor oves pro una ove
2 And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be struck and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit percussor non erit reus sanguinis
3 But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.
quod si orto sole hoc fecerit homicidium perpetravit et ipse morietur si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat venundabitur
4 And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.
si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est vivens sive bos sive asinus sive ovis duplum restituet
5 And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.
si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena quicquid optimum habuerit in agro suo vel in vinea pro damni aestimatione restituet
6 And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.
si egressus ignis invenerit spinas et conprehenderit acervos frugum sive stantes segetes in agris reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit
7 And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.
si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam aut vas in custodiam et ab eo qui susceperat furto ablata fuerint si invenitur fur duplum reddet
8 But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,
si latet dominus domus adplicabitur ad deos et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui
9 according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatever in fact it may be, —the judgement of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.
ad perpetrandam fraudem tam in bove quam in asino et ove ac vestimento et quicquid damnum inferre potest ad deos utriusque causa perveniet et si illi iudicaverint duplum restituet proximo suo
10 And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum bovem ovem et omne iumentum ad custodiam et mortuum fuerit aut debilitatum vel captum ab hostibus nullusque hoc viderit
11 an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
iusiurandum erit in medio quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui suscipietque dominus iuramentum et ille reddere non cogetur
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
quod si furto ablatum fuerit restituet damnum domino
13 And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.
si comestum a bestia deferet ad eum quod occisum est et non restituet
14 And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.
qui a proximo suo quicquam horum mutuo postularit et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente reddere conpelletur
15 But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.
quod si inpraesentiarum fuit dominus non restituet maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui
16 And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam et dormierit cum ea dotabit eam et habebit uxorem
17 And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.
si pater virginis dare noluerit reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis quam virgines accipere consuerunt
18 You shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
maleficos non patieris vivere
19 Every one that lies with a beast you shall surely put to death.
qui coierit cum iumento morte moriatur
20 He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.
qui immolat diis occidetur praeter Domino soli
21 And you shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
advenam non contristabis neque adfliges eum advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in terra Aegypti
22 You shall hurt no widow or orphan.
viduae et pupillo non nocebitis
23 And if you should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.
si laeseritis eos vociferabuntur ad me et ego audiam clamorem eorum
24 And I will be very angry, and will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.
et indignabitur furor meus percutiamque vos gladio et erunt uxores vestrae viduae et filii vestri pupilli
25 And if you should lend money to your poor brother who is by you, you shall not be hard upon him you shall not exact usury of him.
si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum non urgues eum quasi exactor nec usuris opprimes
26 And if you take your neighbour's garment for a pledge, you shall restore it to him before sunset.
si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum ante solis occasum redde ei
27 For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will listen to him, for I am merciful.
ipsum enim est solum quo operitur indumentum carnis eius nec habet aliud in quo dormiat si clamaverit ad me exaudiam eum quia misericors sum
28 You shall not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of your people.
diis non detrahes et principi populi tui non maledices
29 You shall not keep back the first fruits of your threshing floor and press. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.
decimas tuas et primitias non tardabis offerre primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi
30 So shall you do with your calf and your sheep and your ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day you shall give it to me.
de bubus quoque et ovibus similiter facies septem diebus sit cum matre sua die octavo reddes illum mihi
31 And you shall be holy men to me; and you shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, you shall cast it to the dog.
viri sancti eritis mihi carnem quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata non comedetis sed proicietis canibus
