< 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.
“Mwet se fin pisrala soko cow ku soko sheep, ac uniya ku kukakunla, el enenu elan moli cow soko ah ke cow limekosr, ku sheep soko ke sheep akosr.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
Mwet pisrapasr sac el enenu na in akfalye ma el pisrala. Fin wangin yorol, na enenu in kukakinyukla el oana sie mwet kohs, in molela ma el pisrala ah.
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.
Fin cow soko ku donkey soko ku sheep soko koneyukyak srakna oan yorol tia misa, na el enenu elan moli ma soko ah ke ma lukwa.
4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Sie mwet pisrapasr fin sruhu ac anwuki ke el kunauselik sie acn in utyak nu in lohm ke fong, na wangin mwatan mwet se ma unilya ah. El fin anwuki ke len, na ac fah oasr mwatan mwet se ma unilya uh ke akmas.
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.
“Sie mwet fin fuhlela kosro natul in mongo mah ke ima in wheat ku ima in grape lal, ac elos alukela som kangla fokin ima lun sie pacna mwet, mwet se natu kosro ah el enenu in akfalye ma musalla ke fokin ima lal sifacna.
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.
“Sie mwet fin akosak sie e in ima lal, ac e sac sun mah ngeng kulakelik nu in ima lun siena mwet, ac esukak wheat ma kapak ku ma pakpukla ac ilusyukyak, mwet se ma akosak e sac ac fah moli ma nukewa ma musalla.
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.
“Sie mwet fin liyaung mani ku kutu ma saok pac lun siena mwet, ac ma inge pisrapasrla liki lohm sel, mwet se ma pisrala ah fin koneyukyak, el enenu in akfalye ma el pisrala pacl luo.
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.
Tusruktu mwet se ma pisrala ah fin tiana koneyukyak, mwet se ma liyaung ma saok uh in utuku nu ke nien alu, ac el enenu in fahkak ye mutun God lah tia el pa pisrala ma lun mwet se ngia.
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.
“Fin oasr sie ma tuhlac, ac mwet luo ameila kac fahk mu ma lal pa ma sac, finne ke cow soko, donkey soko, sheep soko, nuknuk, ku kutepacna ma, mwet luo ingan ac tufah utukla nu ke nien alu. Mwet se ma God El akkalemye lah el pa kikiap uh, fah moli pacl luo nu sin mwet se ngia.
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: ]
“Mwet se fin liyaung donkey nutin siena mwet, ku cow, ku sheep, ku kutepacna kosro, ac kosro soko ah misa ku kineta ku pisrapasrla a wanginna mwet liye,
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.
mwet se ma liyaung ac fah som nu ke nien alu, ac fahkak ye mutun God lah el tia pisrala kosro nutin mwet sac. Fin pwaye kosro soko ah tiana pisrapasrla, mwet se natu ac fah falkin kas lun mwet se ngia, na mwet se ngia tia enenu in moli nu sel.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
Tusruktu kosro soko ah fin pisrapasrla, mwet se liyaung ah enenu in moli nu sin mwet se natu ah.
13 If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
Kosro soko ah fin anwuki sin kosro lemnak, mwet se ma liyaung ah in use monin kosro soko ma anwuki ah in mwe akpwaye. El tia enenu in moli ma kosro lemnak uh uniya uh.
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.
“Mwet se fin ngisrala kosro soko nutin siena mwet, ac kosro soko ah kineta ku misa ke mwet se natu ah el wangin, mwet se ma ngisrala ah enenu in moli.
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.
Tusruktu ma ingan fin sikyak ke mwet se natu ah oasr uh, na mwet se ma ngisrala ah tia enenu in moli. Fin oasr molin orekmakinyen kosro soko ah, molo se ingan pa ac akfalye uh.
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.
“Sie mukul fin furokla nunak lun sie mutan fusr su soenna etu mwet ac soenna siyukyukla, ac el oan yorol, na mukul sac el enenu in moli nu sin sou lun mutan sac, na payukyak sel.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Tusruktu papa tumun mutan fusr sac fin tiana insese elan payukyak sel, na mukul sac enenu na in moli nu sin papa sac lupa ma fal ke payukyak nu sin sie mutan su soenna etu mwet.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
“Uniya kutena mutan su orek inutnut.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
“Uniya kutena mukul su oan yurin soko kosro.
20 He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
“In anwuki kutena mwet su orek kisa nu sin kutena god sayuk, LEUM GOD.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
“Nimet oru koluk ku akkeokye sie mwetsac. Esam lah kowos tuh mwetsac in facl Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Nimet oru koluk nu sin kutena katinmas ku tulik mukaimtal.
23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
Kowos fin oru, nga LEUM GOD fah porongalos ke elos pang nu sik nga in kasrelos,
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.
ac nga ac kasrkusrak ac unikowosi ke mweun. Mutan kiowos fah katinmasla, ac tulik nutuwos ac fah wanginla papa tuma.
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.
“Fin oasr mwet luk su sukasrup ngisre kom mani, nimet oru oana mwet ngia oru ac sap elan folokin mani lom wi kap kac.
26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
Kom fin eisla nuknuk lik lun mwet se ma ngusr mani sum in mwe akpwaye lah el ac folokin mani lom an, kom enenu in folokunang nu sel meet liki faht uh tili,
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.
mweyen pwayena ma ac sang akfusrfusryal ke fong uh. Mea, oasr pac ma el ac afinilya kac? Ke pacl el ac pang nu sik in kasrel, nga ac porognal mweyen nga pakoten.
28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
“Nik kom kaskas koluk lain God, ac nik kom selngawi sie mwet kol lun mwet lom.
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.
“Ase nu sik mwe sang lowos ke wheat, wain, ac oil in olive ke pacl fal. “Ase nu sik wounse mukul nutuwos.
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.
Ase nu sik wounse ke cow ac sheep nutuwos. Fuhlela tuh wounse mukul ke kosro uh in mutana yurin nina kia ke len itkosr, ac ke len se akoalkosr kisakunma nu sik.
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.
“Kowos mwet luk, ouinge kowos fah tia kang ikwa ke kutena kosro ma kosro lemnak uh uniya, a kowos in sang nun kosro ngalngul.
