Exodus 22
1 If a man steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it: five oxen shall he restore for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
Si quis furatus fuerit bovem, aut ovem, et occiderit vel vendiderit: quinque boves pro uno bove restituet, et quattuor oves pro una ove.
2 If a thief be found while breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus, et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit: percussor non erit reus sanguinis.
3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; he shall make full restitution; if he have nothing, then shall he be sold for his theft.
Quod si orto sole hoc fecerit, homicidium perpetravit, et ipse morietur. Si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat, ipse venundabitur.
4 If the thing stolen be actually found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est, vivens, sive bos, sive asinus, sive ovis: duplum restituet.
5 If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten off, and he let his beasts enter, and they feed in another man's field; with the best of his own field, and with best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
Si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam, et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena: quidquid optimum habuerit in agro suo, vel in vinea, pro damni aestimatione restituet.
6 If a fire break out, and meet with thorns, so that stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed thereby, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Si egressus ignis invenerit spicas, et comprehenderit acervos frugum, sive stantes segetes in agris, reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit.
7 If a man do deliver unto his neighbor money or vessels to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house: if the thief be found, he shall pay double.
Si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam, aut vas in custodiam, et ab eo, qui susceperat, furto ablata fuerint: si invenitur fur, duplum reddet:
8 If the thief be not found, then shall the master of the house be brought unto the judges, [to swear] that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods.
si latet fur, dominus domus applicabitur ad deos, et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui,
9 For all manner of trespass, for ox, for ass, for lamb, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, of which he can say, This is it, before the judges shall come the cause of both parties, and he, whom the judges may condemn, shall pay double unto his neighbor.
ad perpetrandam fraudem, tam in bove, quam in asino, et ove ac vestimento, et quidquid damnum inferre potest: ad deos utriusque causa perveniet: et si illi iudicaverit, duplum restituet proximo suo.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a lamb, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum, bovem, ovem, et omne iumentum ad custodiam, et mortuum fuerit, aut debilitatum, vel captum ab hostibus, nullusque hoc viderit:
11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept this, and he shall not make it good.
iusiurandum erit in medio, quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui: suscipietque dominus iuramentum, et ille reddere non cogetur.
12 But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
Quod si furto ablatum fuerit, restituet damnum domino.
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence; that which was torn he shall not make good.
Si comestum a bestia, deferat ad eum quod occisum est, et non restituet.
14 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make it good.
Qui a proximo suo quidquam horum mutuo postulaverit, et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente, reddere compelletur.
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, the loss is included in its hire.
Quod si impraesentiarum dominus fuerit, non restituet, maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui.
16 And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
Si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam, dormieritque cum ea: dotabit eam, et habebit eam uxorem.
17 If her father refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Si pater virginis dare noluerit, reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis, quam virgines accipere consueverunt.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Maleficos non patieris vivere.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Qui coierit cum iumento, morte moriatur.
20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, shall be utterly destroyed.
Qui immolat diis, occidetur, praeterquam Domino soli.
21 And a stranger thou shalt not vex, and shalt not oppress him; for strangers ye were in the land of Egypt.
Advenam non contristabis, neque affliges eum: advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in Terra Aegypti.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Viduae et pupillo non nocebitis.
23 If thou afflict him in any wise; [for if he cry at all unto me, I will surely hear his cry: ]
Si laeseritis eos, vociferabuntur ad me, et ego audiam clamorem eorum:
24 My wrath shall wax hot, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
et indignabitur furor meus, percutiamque vos gladio, et erunt uxores vestrae viduae, et filii vestri pupilli.
25 If thou lend money to my people, to the poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a lender of money; thou shalt not lay upon him usury.
Si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum, non urgebis eum quasi exactor, nec usuris opprimes.
26 If thou take at all thy neighbor's raiment in pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by the time the sun goeth down;
Si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum, ante solis occasum reddes ei.
27 For it is his only covering, 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.
Ipsum enim est solum, quo operitur, indumentum carnis eius, nec habet aliud in quo dormiat: si clamaverit ad me, exaudiam eum, quia misericors sum.
28 The judges thou shalt not revile; and a ruler among thy people thou shalt not curse.
Diis non detrahes, et principi populi tui non maledices.
29 The first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors, shalt thou not delay to offer; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
Decimas tuas et primitias tuas non tardabis reddere, primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi.
30 In like manner shalt thou do with thy ox, with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
De bobus quoque, et ovibus similiter facies: septem diebus sit cum matre sua, die octava reddes illum mihi.
31 And holy men shall ye be unto me: and flesh that is torn of beasts in the field, shall ye not eat; to the dogs shall ye cast it.
Viri sancti eritis mihi: carnem, quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata, non comedetis, sed proiicietis canibus.
