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 un hombre roba un buey o una oveja, y lo mata o lo vende, deberá pagar cinco bueyes por un buey, y cuatro ovejas por una oveja.
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 el ladrón es encontrado entrando a la fuerza, y es golpeado de tal manera que muere, no habrá culpa de sangre para él.
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;
Si el sol ha salido sobre él, es culpable de derramamiento de sangre. Deberá restituirlo. Si no tiene nada, será vendido por su robo.
4 if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
Si la propiedad robada se encuentra en su mano con vida, ya sea buey, burro u oveja, deberá pagar el doble.
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 un hombre hace comer un campo o una viña dejando suelto a su animal, y éste pasta en el campo de otro, deberá restituirlo con lo mejor de su campo y con lo mejor de su viña.
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 se produce un incendio y se prende en las espinas, de modo que se consuman las mazorcas, el grano en pie o el campo, el que encendió el fuego deberá restituirlo.
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 un hombre entrega a su prójimo dinero o cosas para que las guarde, y se las roban en su casa, si el ladrón es encontrado, deberá pagar el doble.
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 no se encuentra al ladrón, el dueño de la casa se acercará a Dios para averiguar si ha metido la mano en los bienes de su prójimo.
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.
En todo asunto de transgresión, ya sea por buey, por asno, por oveja, por ropa o por cualquier cosa perdida, sobre la que uno diga: “Esto es mío”, la causa de ambas partes se presentará ante Dios. Aquel a quien Dios condene pagará el doble a su prójimo.
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 un hombre entrega a su prójimo un asno, un buey, una oveja o cualquier otro animal para que lo guarde, y éste muere o se daña, o se aleja, sin que nadie lo vea;
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;
el juramento de Yahvé será entre ambos, no ha puesto su mano en los bienes de su prójimo; y su dueño lo aceptará, y no hará restitución.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
Pero si se lo roban, el que lo robó deberá restituirlo a su dueño.
13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
Si se ha roto en pedazos, que lo traiga como prueba. No deberá restituir lo que fue roto.
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;
“Si un hombre toma prestado algo de su prójimo, y se daña o muere, sin que su dueño esté con él, deberá restituirlo.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
Si su dueño está con ella, no deberá restituirla. Si se trata de una cosa alquilada, vendrá por su alquiler.
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 un hombre seduce a una virgen que no está comprometida para casarse y se acuesta con ella, deberá pagar una dote para que sea su esposa.
17 if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
Si el padre de ella se niega rotundamente a dársela, deberá pagar el dinero correspondiente a la dote de las vírgenes.
18 You do not keep a witch alive.
“No permitirás que viva una hechicera.
19 Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
“El que tenga relaciones sexuales con un animal será condenado a muerte.
20 He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
“El que ofrezca sacrificios a cualquier dios, excepto a Yahvé solamente, será destruido por completo.
21 And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
“No agraviarás al extranjero ni lo oprimirás, pues fuisteis extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
“No te aprovecharás de ninguna viuda ni de ningún huérfano.
23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
Si os aprovecháis de ellos, y ellos claman a mí, ciertamente oiré su clamor;
24 and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
y mi ira se encenderá, y os mataré a espada; y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.
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 prestas dinero a alguno de mi pueblo que esté contigo y sea pobre, no serás para él como un acreedor. No le cobrarás intereses.
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 tomas el vestido de tu prójimo como garantía, se lo devolverás antes de que se ponga el sol,
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.
porque es su única cobertura, es su vestido para su piel. ¿Con qué va a dormir? Sucederá que cuando clame a mí, yo lo escucharé, porque soy clemente.
28 You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
“No blasfemarás a Dios, ni maldecirás a un gobernante de tu pueblo.
29 You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
“No te demorarás en ofrecer de tu cosecha y de la salida de tus lagares. “Me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
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.
Lo mismo harás con tu ganado y con tus ovejas. Estará con su madre siete días, y al octavo día me lo darás.
31 And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
“Seréis hombres santos para mí, por lo que no comeréis ninguna carne desgarrada por los animales en el campo. Se la echarán a los perros.
