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.
“Kana munhu akaba nzombe kana gwai uye akauraya kana kutengesa anofanira kuripa mombe shanu nokuda kwenzombe uye makwai mana pagwai rimwe chete.
2 If a thief is discovered breaking into someone's house and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of murder.
“Kana mbavha ikabatwa ichipaza uye ikarohwa ikafa, nyakudzivirira haana mhosva yokuteura ropa;
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.
asi kana zvikaitika shure kwokubuda kwezuva, anenge ane mhosva yokuteura ropa. “Mbavha inofanira kudzora zvayaba, asi kana isina chinhu, inofanira kutongeswa kuti iripe umbavha hwayo.
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.
“Kana chipfuwo chakabiwa chikawanikwa chichiri chipenyu muruoko rwake, ingava nzombe kana mbongoro kana gwai, iye anofanira kuripa zvava zviviri.
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.
“Kana munhu akafudza zvipfuwo zvake mumunda kana mumunda womuzambiringa uye akarega zvipfuwo zvake zvichidya mumunda womunhu, anofanira kudzorera zvakaisvonaka zvinobva mumunda wake kana mumunda wake womuzambiringa.
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.
“Kana moto ukapfuta uye ukapararira muzvikwenzi zveminzwa zvokuti unopisa mirwi yezviyo kana zviyo zvimire, kana munda wose, munhu abatidza moto anofanira kudzorera nomuripo.
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.
“Kana munhu akapa muvakidzani wake sirivha kana zvinhu kuti achengete zvichibva zvabiwa kubva mumba momuvakidzani, mbavha yacho, kana ikabatwa, inofanira kuripa zvakapetwa kaviri.
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.
Asi kana mbavha isina kuwanikwa, muridzi wemba anofanira kumira pamberi pavatongi kuti zvionekwe kana akaisa ruoko rwake pazvinhu zvomumwe munhu.
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.
Panyaya dzose dzokuchengeta zvisiri pamutemo, nzombe, mbongoro, gwai, nguo kana chimwewo zvacho chakarasika chinonzi nomumwe munhu, ‘Ndechangu ichi’, vaviri ava vanofanira kuuya nenyaya dzavo pamberi pavatongi. Munhu uyo achanzi ane mhosva navatongi anofanira kuripira muvakidzani wake zvakapetwa kaviri.
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,
“Kana munhu akapa mbongoro, nzombe, gwai kana chipfuwo chipi zvacho kumuvakidzani wake kuti achengete chichibva chafa kana kukuvara kana kutorwa pasina anozviona,
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.
nyaya iri pakati pavo inofanira kugadziriswa nokuita mhiko pamberi paJehovha yokuti muvakidzani haana kuisa maoko ake pazvinhu zvomumwe munhu. Muridzi anofanira kugamuchira izvi, uye hapana muripo unodikanwa apa.
12 However, if the animal really was stolen from the neighbor, he must compensate the owner.
Asi kana chipfuwo chakabiwa kubva kumuvakidzani, iye anofanira kudzorera kumuridzi nomuripo.
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.
Kana chakabvarurwa-bvarurwa nechikara chesango, iye achauyisa zvakasara zvacho zvive umboo uye haazosungirwi kuripa chipfuwo chakabvamburwa.
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.
“Kana munhu akakwereta chipfuwo kubva kumuvakidzani wake uye chikakuvara kana kufa, muridzi wacho asipo, anofanira kuripa.
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.
Asi kana muridzi ane chipfuwo chacho, akwereta haafaniri kuzoripa. Kana chipfuwo ichi changa chichiripirwa mari yokuchishandisa, mari yakaripwa yacho ndiyo inozozadzisa kurasikirwa kwake.
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.
“Kana murume akanyengera musikana anenge ari mhandara asina kutsidzira kuti awanikwe uye akavata naye, iye anofanira kubvisa roora, uye achava mukadzi wake.
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.
Kana baba vake vasingadi zvachose kuti vamupe kwaari, anofanira bedzi kubvisa roora rinobvisirwa mhandara.
18 You must not allow a woman who practices witchcraft to live.
“Usatendera muroyikadzi kuti ararame.
19 Anyone who has sex with an animal must be executed.
“Ani naani anoita chipfuwo mukadzi anofanira kuurayiwa.
20 Anyone who sacrifices to any other god than the Lord must be set apart and executed.
“Ani naani anobayira kuna mwari upi zvake kunze kwangu anofanira kuparadzwa.
21 You must not exploit or mistreat a foreigner. Remember that you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.
“Usabata mutorwa zvakaipa kana kumudzvinyirira, nokuti imi makanga muri vatorwa muIjipiti.
22 You must not take advantage of any widow or orphan.
“Musaitira zvakaipa chirikadzi nenherera.
23 If you mistreat them, and they call out to me for help, I will definitely respond to their cry.
Kana mukaita izvozvo uye ivo vakachema kwandiri, zvirokwazvo ndichanzwa kuchema kwavo.
24 I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword. Your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
Kutsamwa kwangu kuchamuka, uye ndichakuurayai nomunondo; vakadzi venyu vachava chirikadzi uye vana venyu vachava nherera.
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.
“Kana mukakweretesa mari kuno mumwe wavanhu vangu vari pakati penyu vanoshaya, musaita somunhu webasa rokukweretesa; musamuripisa yava nemhindu.
26 If you require your neighbor's cloak as security for a loan, you must return it to him by sunset,
Kana ukatora jasi romuvakidzani wako sechitsidzo, uridzorere kwaari zuva rodoka,
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.
nokuti jasi rake ndicho chifukidzo bedzi chaanacho chomuviri wake. Achavata akafukeiko? Paanochema kwandiri, ini ndichanzwa, nokuti ndine tsitsi.
28 You must not despise God or curse your people's leader.
“Usamhura Mwari kana kutuka mutongi wavanhu vako.
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.
“Usarega kupa zvipiriso zvinobva mumatura ako kana muzvisviniro zvako. “Unofanira kundipa dangwe ravanakomana vako.
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.
Muite zvimwe chetezvo kumombe dzenyu nokumakwai enyu. Murege zvigare mazuva manomwe navanamai vazvo, asi muzvipe kwandiri pazuva rorusere.
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.”
“Munofanira kuva vanhu vangu vatsvene. Saka musadya nyama yechipfuwo chakabvamburwa nezvikara zvesango, muikandire kumbwa.
