Exodus 22
1 “Anyone who steals an ox or a sheep and kills or sells it, he must pay back five oxen for one ox and four sheep for one sheep.
人もし牛あるひは羊を竊みてこれを殺し又は賣る時は五の牛をもて一の牛を賠ひ四の羊をもて一の羊を賠ふべし
2 If a thief is discovered breaking into someone's house and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of murder.
もし盗賊の壞り入るを見てこれを撃て死しむる時はこれがために血をながすに及ばず
3 But if it happens during daylight, then someone is guilty of murder. A thief must pay everything back that's stolen. If he doesn't have anything, then he must be sold to pay for what was stolen.
然ど若日いでてよりならば之がために血をながすべし盗賊は全く償をなすべし若物あらざる時は身をうりてその竊める物を償ふべし
4 If what was stolen is a live animal he still has, whether it's an ox, donkey, or sheep, he must pay back double.
若その竊める物眞に生てその手にあらばその牛驢馬羊たるにかかはらず倍してこれを償ふべし
5 If livestock are grazing in a field or vineyard and their owner lets them stray so that they graze in someone else's field, the owner must pay compensation from the best of their own fields or vineyards.
人もし田圃あるひは葡萄園の物を食はせその家畜をはなちて人の田圃の物を食ふにいたらしむる時は自己の田圃の嘉物と自己の葡萄園の嘉物をもてその償をなすべし
6 If a fire is started and it spreads to thorn bushes and then burns stacked or standing grain, or even the whole field, the person who started the fire must pay full compensation.
火もし逸て荊棘にうつりその積あげたる穀物あるひは未だ刈ざる穀物あるひは田野を燬ばその火を焚たる者かならずこれを償ふべし
7 If someone gives his neighbor money or possessions to be kept safe and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, if the thief is caught they must pay back double.
人もし金あるひは物を人に預るにその人の家より竊みとられたる時はその盗者あらはれなばこれを倍して償はしむべし
8 If the thief isn't caught the owner of the house must appear before the judges to find out whether he took his neighbor's property.
盗者もしあらはれずば家の主人を法官につれゆきて彼がその人の物に手をかけたるや否を見るべし
9 If there's an argument over the ownership of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything that was lost that someone says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their case before the judges. The one whom the judges find in the wrong must pay the other back double.
何の過愆を論ず牛にもあれ驢馬にもあれ羊にもあれ衣服にもあれ又は何の失物にもあれ凡て人の見て是其なりと言ふ者ある時は法官その兩造の言を聽べし而して法官の罪ありとする者これを倍してその對手に償ふべし
10 If someone asks a neighbor to look after a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal, but it dies or is injured or is stolen without anybody noticing,
人もし驢馬か牛か羊か又はその他の家畜をその隣人にあづけんに死か傷けらるるか又は搶ひさらるることありて誰もこれを見し者なき時は
11 then an oath must be taken before the Lord to decide if the neighbor has taken the owner's property. The owner must accept the oath and not demand compensation.
二人の間にその隣人の物に手をかけずとヱホバを指て誓ふことあるべし然る時はその持主これを承諾べし彼人は償をなすに及ばず
12 However, if the animal really was stolen from the neighbor, he must compensate the owner.
然ど若自己の許より竊まれたる時はその所有主にこれを償ふべし
13 If it was killed and torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall present the carcass as evidence and does not need to pay compensation.
若またその裂ころされし時は其を證據のために持きたるべしその裂ころされし者は償ふにおよばず
14 If someone borrows a neighbor's animal and it's injured or dies while its owner is not present, they must pay compensation in full.
人もしその隣人より借たる者あらんにその物傷けられ又は死ることありてその所有主それとともにをらざる時は必ずこれを償ふべし
15 If the owner was present, no compensation is to be paid. If the animal was hired, only the hire charge needs to be paid.
その所有主それと共にをらばこれを償ふにむよばず雇し者なる時もしかり其は雇れて來りしなればなり
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the full bride-price for her to become his wife.
人もし聘定あらざる處女を誘ひてこれと寝たらば必ずこれに聘禮して妻となすべし
17 If her father adamantly refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay the same amount as the bride-price for a virgin.
その父もしこれをその人に與ふることを固く拒まば處女にする聘禮にてらして金をはらふべし
18 You must not allow a woman who practices witchcraft to live.
魔術をつかふ女を生しおくべからず
19 Anyone who has sex with an animal must be executed.
凡て畜を犯す者をば必ず殺すべし
20 Anyone who sacrifices to any other god than the Lord must be set apart and executed.
ヱホバをおきて別の神に犠牲を献る者をば殺すべし
21 You must not exploit or mistreat a foreigner. Remember that you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.
汝他國の人を惱すべからず又これを虐ぐべからず汝らもエジプトの國にをる時は他國の人たりしなり
22 You must not take advantage of any widow or orphan.
汝凡て寡婦あるひは孤子を惱すべからず
23 If you mistreat them, and they call out to me for help, I will definitely respond to their cry.
汝もし彼等を惱まして彼等われに呼らば我かならずその號呼を聽べし
24 I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword. Your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
わが怒烈しくなり我劍をもて汝らを殺さん汝らの妻は寡婦となり汝らの子女は孤子とならん
25 If you lend money to any of my people because they're poor, you must not behave as a moneylender to them. You must not charge them any interest.
汝もし汝とともにあるわが民の貧き者に金を貸す時は金貸のごとくなすべからず又これより利足をとるべからず
26 If you require your neighbor's cloak as security for a loan, you must return it to him by sunset,
汝もし人の衣服を質にとらば日のいる時までにこれを歸すべし
27 because it's the only clothing he has for his body. What would he sleep in otherwise? If he calls out to me for help, I will listen, for I am considerate.
其はその身を蔽ふ者は是のみにして是はその膚の衣なればなり彼何の中に寝んや彼われに龥はらば我きかん我は慈悲ある者なればなり
28 You must not despise God or curse your people's leader.
汝神を罵るべからず民の主長を詛ふべからず
29 You must not hold onto the required offerings of your produce, olive oil, and wine. You must give me the firstborn of your sons.
汝の豊滿なる物と汝の搾りたる物とを献ぐることを怠るなかれ汝の長子を我に與ふべし
30 You must also give me the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats. They can stay with their mothers for their first seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day.
汝また汝の牛と羊をも斯なすべし即ち七日母とともにをらしめて八日にこれを我に與ふべし
31 You are to be holy people to me. You must not eat any animal carcass that you find in the countryside that has been killed by wild animals. Throw it to the dogs to eat.”
汝等は我の聖民となるべし汝らは野にて獣に裂れし者の肉を食ふべからず汝らこれを犬に投與ふべし
