< 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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá jí akọ màlúù tàbí àgùntàn, tí ó sì pa á tàbí tà á. Ó gbọdọ̀ san akọ màlúù márùn-ún padà fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí, àti àgùntàn mẹ́rin mìíràn fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí.
2 If a thief is discovered breaking into someone's house and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of murder.
“Bí a bá mú olè níbi ti ó ti ń fọ́lé, ti a sì lù ú pa, ẹni tí ó lù ú pa náà kò ní ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ojú ọ̀sán, a ó kà á si ìpànìyàn. Ọkùnrin ti ó lù ú pa náà yóò ni ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀. “Olè gbọdọ̀ san ohun tí ó jí padà. Ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá ni ohun ti ó lè fi san án padà, a ó tà á, a ó sì fi sanwó ohun tí ó jí gbé padà.
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.
Bí a bá rí ẹran tí ó jí gbé náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní ààyè: ìbá ṣe akọ màlúù, akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí àgùntàn, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ń bọ́ ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀ lórí pápá tàbí nínú ọgbà àjàrà, tí ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ jẹ nínú oko ẹlòmíràn, a ó mú kí ó san ohun ti ẹran rẹ̀ jẹ padà pẹ̀lú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú oko tàbí nínú ọgbà rẹ̀ (ẹlòmíràn padà fún un).
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.
“Bí iná bá ṣẹ́ tí ó kán lu igbó tí ó sì jó àká ọkà tàbí gbogbo oko náà, ẹni tí iná ṣẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ yóò san ohun tí iná ti ó ṣẹ́ jó padà.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní fàdákà tàbí ohun èlò fún ìtọ́jú, ti wọ́n sì jí gbé lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí a bá mú irú olè bẹ́ẹ̀, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti a kò bá rí olè náà mú, baálé ilé náà yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìdájọ́ láti jẹ́ kí a mọ̀ bí òun fúnra rẹ̀ ni ó gbé ohun ti ó sọnù náà.
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.
Bí ẹnìkan bá ni akọ màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn, aṣọ tàbí ohun ìní mìíràn tí ó sọnù ní ọ̀nà ti kò bá òfin mu, tí a sì rí ẹni ti ó sọ pé òun ni ó ní ín, àwọn méjèèjì yóò mú ẹjọ́ wọn wá sí iwájú adájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí adájọ́ bá dá lẹ́bi yóò san án ni ìlọ́po méjì padà fún ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
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,
“Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, akọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ẹranko mìíràn láti bá òun tọ́jú rẹ̀, tí ó sì kú, tàbí tí ó fi ara pa, tàbí tí a jí gbé, níbi tí kò ti sí ẹni tí o ṣe àkíyèsí.
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.
Wọn yóò búra sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà láàrín ara wọn ni iwájú Olúwa láti fihàn pé òun kò ní ọwọ́ nínú sísọnù ohun ọ̀sìn náà, olóhun gbọdọ̀ gba bẹ́ẹ̀, a kò sì ní san ohunkóhun fún un.
12 However, if the animal really was stolen from the neighbor, he must compensate the owner.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti wọ́n bá jí ẹranko náà gbé ni ọ̀dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, yóò san ẹ̀san padà fún olúwa rẹ̀.
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.
Bí ẹranko búburú bá fà á ya, ó ní láti mú àyakù ẹran náà wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí, kò sì ní san ẹran náà padà.
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.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá sì yá ẹranko lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ẹranko náà sì fi ara pa, tàbí kí ó kú nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ni í kò sí nítòsí. O gbọdọ̀ san án padà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá jẹ́ wí pé olóhun bá wà pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà, ẹni tí ó ya lò kò ní san ẹ̀san padà. Bí a bá yá ẹranko náà lò, owó tí ó fi yá a lò ni yóò fi tan àdánù ẹranko tí ó kú.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi àrékérekè mú wúńdíá kan, ẹni tí kò pinnu láti fẹ́, tí ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, yóò san owó orí rẹ̀, yóò sì fi ṣe aya rẹ̀.
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.
Bí baba ọmọbìnrin náà bá kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti fi fún un ní aya, ó ni láti san owó tó tó owó orí rẹ̀ fún fífẹ́ ẹ ní wúńdíá.
18 You must not allow a woman who practices witchcraft to live.
“Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjẹ́ kí ó wà láààyè.
19 Anyone who has sex with an animal must be executed.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá bá ẹranko lòpọ̀ ní a ó pa.
20 Anyone who sacrifices to any other god than the Lord must be set apart and executed.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú ẹbọ sí òrìṣà yàtọ̀ sí Olúwa nìkan, ni a ó yà sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun.
21 You must not exploit or mistreat a foreigner. Remember that you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.
“Ẹ má ṣe fi ìyà jẹ àlejò tàbí ni wọ́n lára, nítorí ìwọ pẹ̀lú ti jẹ́ àjèjì ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti rí.
22 You must not take advantage of any widow or orphan.
“Má ṣe yan opó tàbí ọmọ òrukàn jẹ.
23 If you mistreat them, and they call out to me for help, I will definitely respond to their cry.
Bí ìwọ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, bí wọn bá ké pè mi. Èmi yóò sì gbọ́ ohùn igbe wọn.
24 I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword. Your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
Ìbínú mi yóò ru sókè. Èmi yóò sì fi idà pa ọ. Ìyàwó rẹ yóò di opó, àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò sì di aláìní baba.
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.
“Bí ìwọ bá yá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ìyà ń jẹ láàrín yín lówó, má ṣe dàbí ayánilówó, kí o má sì gba èlé.
26 If you require your neighbor's cloak as security for a loan, you must return it to him by sunset,
Bí ìwọ bá gba aṣọ aládùúgbò rẹ ni ẹ̀jẹ́, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fún un padà kí oòrùn tó ó wọ̀,
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.
nítorí aṣọ yìí nìkan ní ó ní ti ó lè fi bo àṣírí ara. Kí ni ohun mìíràn ti yóò fi sùn? Nígbà ti ó bá gbé ohun rẹ̀ sókè sí mi, èmi yóò gbọ́ nítorí aláàánú ni èmi.
28 You must not despise God or curse your people's leader.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run tàbí gégùn lé orí ìjòyè àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.
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.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ lọ́ra láti mú ọrẹ wá fún mi láti inú ìre oko rẹ àti láti inú wáìnì rẹ. “Àkọ́bí ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi.
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.
Ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ pẹ̀lú agbo màlúù rẹ àti agbo àgùntàn rẹ. Jẹ́ kí wọn wà lọ́dọ̀ ìyá wọn fún ọjọ́ méje, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fi wọ́n fún mi ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ.
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.”
“Ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mímọ́ mi. Nítorí náà má ṣe jẹ ẹran ti ẹranko búburú fàya: ẹ fi fún ajá jẹ.
