< Exodus 22 >

1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
“Omuntu bw’anabbanga ente ya munne, oba endiga, n’agitta oba n’agitunda; anazzangawo ente ttaano olw’emu gy’abbye, n’endiga nnya olw’endiga emu.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
“Omubbi bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’amenya ennyumba, n’akubibwa emiggo n’afa; amukubye taabengako musango olw’okuyiwa omusaayi gw’omubbi oyo;
3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
naye singa ebyo bigwawo ng’enjuba emaze okuvaayo, anaabangako omusango olw’okuyiwa omusaayi ogwo. Omubbi anaateekwanga okuliwa; naye bw’abanga talina kantu, anaatundibwanga alyoke asasulire bye yabba.
4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or donkey, or sheep; he shall restore double.
“Omubbi singa akwatibwa lubona nga n’ensolo gy’abbye agirina nnamu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi oba ndiga, anazzangawo bbiri bbiri.
5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall 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.
“Omuntu bw’anaabanga alunda ebisolo bye mu ddundiro lye oba mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu, ensolo ze n’azireka ne zigenda ziriira mu nnimiro y’omuntu omulala; anaasasulanga ku bibala ebisinga obulungi n’ezabbibu ebiva omumwe.
6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of sheaves, or the standing grain, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
“Omuliro bwe gunaalandanga ne guyita mu bisaka ne gukwata ennimiro y’omuntu, ne gwokya ebinywa by’eŋŋaano, oba eŋŋaano ekyakula, oba ne guzikiriza ennimiro ye yonna; eyakumye omuliro ogwo anaasasuliranga byonna ebyonoonese.
7 If a man shall 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 pay double.
“Omuntu bw’anaateresanga munne ensimbi oba ebintu bye ebirala, ne bamala babibbira mu nnyumba ye; omubbi bw’anaakwatibwanga anaaliwanga emirundi ebiri.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.
Naye omubbi bw’ataakwatibwenga, nannyini nnyumba ateekwa agende eri abalamuzi, basalewo obanga ebintu bya munne ye yabitutte.
9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
Mu buli misango gyonna egy’okubeera n’ebintu mu ngeri emenya amateeka, ng’okubeera n’ente, oba endogoyi, oba endiga, oba ekyambalo, oba ekintu ekirala kyonna ekinaabanga kibuze, omuntu n’amala akyogerako nti, ‘Kino kyange,’ omuntu akirina n’oyo akiyita ekikye banaatwalanga ensonga zaabwe eri abalamuzi. Oyo abalamuzi gwe banaasaliranga nti gumusinze, anaddizangawo munne emirundi ebiri.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
“Omuntu bw’anaateresanga munne endogoyi, oba ente, oba endiga, oba ensolo endala yonna; n’emala efa, oba n’erumizibwa, oba n’etwalibwa nga tekitegeerekese agitutte,
11 Then shall an oath of Yhwh be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
ensonga zaabwe zinaagonjoolwanga nga eyatereka alayidde mu maaso ga Mukama nti ensolo eyo si ye yagibba. Nannyini nsolo ateekwanga okukkiriza ekirayiro ekyo, era taasasulwenga kintu kyonna.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
Naye bw’eneemubbibwangako, anaagiriwanga.
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Bw’eneebanga erumbiddwa ensolo enkambwe n’etaagulwataagulwa, anaaleetanga ebitundutundu byayo ebisigaddewo ng’obujulizi; taaliwenga nsolo etaaguddwataaguddwa.
14 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
“Omuntu bw’aneeyazikanga ensolo ku muliraanwa we, n’erumizibwa, oba n’emufaako nga nnyini yo taliiwo, anaateekwanga okugisasulira.
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
Naye nannyini yo bw’anaabangawo, taaliyirwenga. Ensolo ng’ebadde epangisibbwa bupangisibwa, omuwendo ogugipangisizza gunaamalanga mu kugisasulira.
16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
“Omusajja bw’anaasendasendanga omuwala omuto akyali embeerera, ne yeebaka naye, atwalengayo ebintu ebyobuko, amuwase.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Naye singa kitaawe w’omuwala agaanira ddala okumumuwa, era asasulangayo omuwendo gw’ensimbi ogwenkanankana n’eby’obuko ebiweebwayo ku mbeerera.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
“Omukazi omulogo omuttanga bussi.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
“Omuntu akola eby’ensonyi n’ensolo ateekwanga kuttibwa.
20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto Yhwh only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
“Omuntu atwalanga ssaddaaka eri katonda omulala, atali nze Mukama, azikirizibwenga.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
“Bannamawanga temubayisanga bubi, so temubanyigirizanga, kubanga nammwe mwali bannaggwanga mu nsi y’e Misiri.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
“Nnamwandu ne mulekwa temubajooganga.
23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
Bwe munaabajooganga ne bankaabira, nnaabawulirizanga.
24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Obusungu bwange ne bubuubuuka, mmwe ne mbatta n’ekitala. Bakyala bammwe ne bafuuka bannamwandu n’abaana bammwe bamulekwa.
25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
“Bw’owolanga ensimbi omu ku bantu bange abali mu mmwe, ng’ali mu kwetaaga, teweeyisanga ng’abawozi b’ensimbi abalala; tomusasuzanga magoba.
26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
Bw’otwalanga ekyambalo ky’omuntu ng’akakalu, kimuddize ng’enjuba egenda okugwa;
27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment 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.
kubanga ekyambalo kye ekyo kye ky’okwebikka kye kyokka ky’alina. Kale bw’otokimuddiza olwo asule mu ki? Bw’anankaabiriranga nzijanga kumuwuliriza, kubanga ndi wa kisa.
28 Thou shalt not blaspheme God, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
“Tovumanga Katonda, wadde okwogera obubi ku bafuzi bammwe.
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
“Tolwangawo kuwaayo ku bibala ebibereberye nga byengedde. “Mutabani wo omubereberye onoomumpanga.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Ente zo n’endiga zo nazo onookolanga bw’otyo. Onoozirekeranga bannyina baazo okumala ennaku musanvu; onoozimpanga ku lunaku olw’omunaana.
31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
“Mujjanga kuba bantu bange batukuvu. Noolwekyo temuulyenga nnyama ya nsolo etaaguddwataaguddwa ebisolo eby’omu nsiko. Munaagirekeranga mbwa.
