Exodus 22
1 If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
“Tko ukrade goveče ili marvinče od sitne stoke, pa bilo da ga zakolje, bilo da ga proda, onda za jedno goveče neka se vrati petero goveda, a za malo marvinče četvero marvinčadi.
2 If a thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.
Ako se lopov zateče gdje probija zid, pa mu se zada smrtan udarac, njegovu krv ne treba osvećivati.
3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him — he shall make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
No ako je već izišlo sunce, njegovu krv treba osvetiti. Lopov mora štetu nadoknaditi. Ako nema ništa, njega za njegovu krađu treba prodati.
4 If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Nađe li se ukradeno živinče živo u njegovu vlasništvu - goveče, magare ili koja glava sitne stoke - treba da ga plati dvostruko.”
5 If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
“Tko opustoši njivu ili vinograd pustivši svoju stoku da obrsti tuđe, neka nadoknadi onim što najbolje nađe na svojoj njivi i u svome vinogradu.
6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Tko zapali vatru pa ona zahvati drač te izgori žito u snopu, u klasu ili na njivi, onaj tko je vatru zapalio mora štetu nadoknaditi.
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, he shall pay double.
Kad tko položi kod znanca novac ili stvari na čuvanje, pa budu pokradene iz njegove kuće, ako se lopov pronađe, mora dvostruko platiti.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
Ako se lopov ne pronađe, vlasnik kuće neka se primakne k Bogu, da se dokaže kako on nije spustio svoje ruke na dobra svoga bližnjega.
9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith: 'This is it,' the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour.
Za svaki prekršaj pronevjere - radilo se o govečetu, magaretu, sitnoj stoci, odjeći ili bilo kojoj izgubljenoj stvari za koju se ustvrdi: to je ono! - treba spor iznijeti pred Boga. Onaj koga Bog proglasi krivim neka plati dvostruko drugome.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it;
Kad tko povjeri svome susjedu magare, goveče, glavu sitne stoke ili bilo kakvo živinče, pa ono ugine, osakati se ili ga tko odvede a da ne bude svjedoka,
11 the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
zakletva pred Jahvom neka odluči među obojicom je li čuvar posegao za dobrom svoga bližnjega ili nije. Neka je vlasniku to dovoljno, a čuvar nije dužan da nadoknađuje.
12 But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
Nađe li se da je on ukrao, mora štetu nadoknaditi.
13 If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.
Ako ga zvijer razdere, neka ga donese za dokaz, tako da za razderano ne daje odštete.
14 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
Kad tko posudi živinu na izor od svoga susjeda, pa se ona osakati ili ugine dok joj vlasnik nije bio s njom, neka plati odštetu.
15 If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hireling, he loseth his hire.
Je li vlasnik bio s njom, odštete mu ne daje; ali ako je bila unajmljena na izor, neka dođe po svoju nadnicu.”
16 And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
“Ako tko zavede djevojku koja nije zaručena i s njom legne, neka za nju dadne ženidbenu procjenu i uzme je za ženu.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Ako njezin otac odbije da mu je dadne, zavodnik mora odmjeriti srebra u vrijednosti ženidbene procjene za djevojku.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.
Ne dopuštaj da vračarica živi!
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Tko bi god sa živinom legao, treba ga kazniti smrću.
20 He that sacrificeth unto the gods, save unto the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
Tko bi prinosio žrtve kojemu kumiru - osim Jahvi jedinom - neka bude izručen prokletstvu, potpuno uništen.
21 And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ne tlači pridošlicu niti mu nanosi nepravde, jer ste i sami bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Ne cvilite udovice i siročeta!
23 If thou afflict them in any wise — for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry —
Ako ih ucviliš i oni zavape k meni, sigurno ću njihove vapaje uslišati.
24 My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Moj će se gnjev raspaliti i mačem ću vas pogubiti. Tako će vam žene ostati udovice a djeca siročad.
25 If thou lend money to any of My people, even to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.
Ako uzajmiš novca kome od moga naroda, siromahu koji je kod tebe, ne postupaj prema njemu kao lihvar! Ne nameći mu kamata!
26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down;
Uzmeš li svome susjedu ogrtač u zalog, moraš mu ga vratiti prije zalaza sunca.
27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto Me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
TÓa to mu je jedini pokrivač kojim omata svoje tijelo i u kojem može leći. Ako k meni zavapi, uslišat ću ga jer sam ja milostiv!
28 Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.
Ne huli Boga i ne psuj glavara svoga naroda.
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer of the fulness of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto Me.
Ne oklijevaj s prinosima od svoga obilja s gumna i od svoga mladog vina! Meni daj prvorođenca od svojih sinova.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it Me.
Isto učini sa svojim govedima i sitnom stokom: sedam dana neka ostane sa svojom majkom, a osmoga dana da si ga meni dao!
31 And ye shall be holy men unto Me; therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Budite narod meni posvećen! Zato nemojte jesti mesa od životinje koju je rastrgala zvjerad nego je bacite paščadi!”
