Exodus 22
1 When a man steals an ox or sheep, and has slaughtered it or sold it, he repays [with] five of the herd for the ox, and four of the flock for the 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 in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
Si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus, et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit: percussor non erit reus sanguinis.
3 if the sun has risen on him, blood [is] for him, he certainly repays; if he has nothing, then he has been 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 theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est, vivens, sive bos, sive asinus, sive ovis: duplum restituet.
5 When a man depastures a field or vineyard, and has sent out his beast, and it has pastured in the field of another, he repays [with] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard.
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 When fire goes forth and has found thorns, and a stack, or the standing grain, or the field has been consumed, he who causes the burning certainly repays.
Si egressus ignis invenerit spicas, et comprehenderit acervos frugum, sive stantes segetes in agris, reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit.
7 When a man gives silver or vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it has been stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, he repays 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 is not found, then the master of the house has been brought near to God [to see] whether he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor.
si latet fur, dominus domus applicabitur ad deos, et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui,
9 For every matter of transgression, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his, the matter of them both comes to God; he whom God condemns repays double to 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 When a man gives to his neighbor a donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it has died, or has been hurt, or taken captive, [with] none seeing—
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 an oath of YHWH is between them both, that he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor, and its owner has accepted, and he does not repay;
iusiurandum erit in medio, quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui: suscipietque dominus iuramentum, et ille reddere non cogetur.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
Quod si furto ablatum fuerit, restituet damnum domino.
13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
Si comestum a bestia, deferat ad eum quod occisum est, et non restituet.
14 And when a man asks for [anything] from his neighbor, and it has been hurt or has died—its owner not being with it—he certainly repays;
Qui a proximo suo quidquam horum mutuo postulaverit, et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente, reddere compelletur.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
Quod si impraesentiarum dominus fuerit, non restituet, maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui.
16 And when a man entices a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and has lain with her, he certainly endows her to himself for a wife;
Si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam, dormieritque cum ea: dotabit eam, et habebit eam uxorem.
17 if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
Si pater virginis dare noluerit, reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis, quam virgines accipere consueverunt.
18 You do not keep a witch alive.
Maleficos non patieris vivere.
19 Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
Qui coierit cum iumento, morte moriatur.
20 He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
Qui immolat diis, occidetur, praeterquam Domino soli.
21 And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Advenam non contristabis, neque affliges eum: advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in Terra Aegypti.
22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
Viduae et pupillo non nocebitis.
23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
Si laeseritis eos, vociferabuntur ad me, et ego audiam clamorem eorum:
24 and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
et indignabitur furor meus, percutiamque vos gladio, et erunt uxores vestrae viduae, et filii vestri pupilli.
25 If you lend money [to] My poor people [who are] with you, you are not as a usurer to him; you do not lay usury on him;
Si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum, non urgebis eum quasi exactor, nec usuris opprimes.
26 if you take the garment of your neighbor in pledge at all, you return it to him during the going in of the sun:
Si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum, ante solis occasum reddes ei.
27 for it is his only covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein does he lie down? And it has come to pass, when he cries to Me, that I have heard, 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 You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
Diis non detrahes, et principi populi tui non maledices.
29 You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
Decimas tuas et primitias tuas non tardabis reddere, primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi.
30 so you do to your ox [and] to your sheep; it is with its mother [for] seven days, on the eighth day you give it to Me.
De bobus quoque, et ovibus similiter facies: septem diebus sit cum matre sua, die octava reddes illum mihi.
31 And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
Viri sancti eritis mihi: carnem, quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata, non comedetis, sed proiicietis canibus.
