Exodus 22
1 If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
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 the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.
Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que lo hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
3 If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.
Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, el matador será reo de homicidio; el ladrón habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
4 If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey o asno u oveja vivos, pagará el doble.
5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make [it] good.
Si alguno hiciere pastar tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.
6 — If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good.
Cuando se prendiere fuego, y al quemar espinas quemare mieses amontonadas o en pie, o campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
7 — If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;
Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata o alhajas a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.
8 if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado a los jueces, para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
9 As to all manner of fraud, — as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this — the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.
Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, 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 deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],
Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquier otro animal a guardar, y se muriere o se perniquebrare, o fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;
11 an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.
juramento del SEÑOR tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no metió su mano a la hacienda de su prójimo; y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.
12 But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make [it] good unto its owner.
Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, lo pagará a su dueño.
13 If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it [as] witness: he shall not make good what was torn.
Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, le traerá testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
14 — And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;
Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada bestia de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrada o muerta, ausente su dueño, la pagará.
15 if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make [it] good; if it be a hired [thing], it came for its hire.
Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.
16 And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.
Cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.
Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 — Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
A la hechicera no darás la vida.
19 — Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.
Cualquiera que cohabitare con bestia, morirá.
20 — He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.
El que sacrificare a dioses, excepto sólo al SEÑOR, será muerto.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;
Que si tú llegas a afligirle, y él a mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;
24 and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
25 — If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.
Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero prestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.
26 — If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;
Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puestas del sol se lo volverás;
27 for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquel el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir; y será que cuando él a mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
28 Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.
No maldecirás a los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
29 — Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy [threshing-floor] and the outflow of thy [winepress]. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor, me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thy calf, with thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
31 — And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.
Y habéis de serme varones santos; y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; a los perros la echaréis.
