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.
“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 up, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] 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] blood [shed] for him; [for] he should make full 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 certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore 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 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.
“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 stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith; ] 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 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.
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 be brought unto the judges, [to see] whether he have 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 all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, 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.
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 [Then] shall an oath of the LORD 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.
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 And 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, [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] 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 [ought] of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.
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 [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.
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 maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow 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 witch 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 [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Tko bi prinosio žrtve kojemu kumiru - osim Jahvi jedinom - neka bude izručen prokletstvu, potpuno uništen.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor 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, and 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 And 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 [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
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 raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver 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 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.
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 the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
Ne huli Boga i ne psuj glavara svoga naroda.
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.
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 his 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: neither shall ye 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!”
