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.
Cuando alguno hurtare buey u oveja, y lo degollare o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
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 fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que lo hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
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 hubiere salido sobre él, el matador será reo de homicidio; el ladrón habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
4 if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey o asno u oveja vivos, pagará 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 alguno hiciere pastar tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.
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.
Cuando se prendiere fuego, y al quemar espinas quemare mieses amontonadas o en pie, o campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
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.
Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata o alhajas a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará 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 el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado a los jueces, para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda 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.
Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, 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 alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquier otro animal a guardar, y se muriere o se perniquebrare, o fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;
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;
juramento del SEÑOR tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no metió su mano a la hacienda de su prójimo; y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, lo pagará a su dueño.
13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, le traerá testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
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;
Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada bestia de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrada o muerta, ausente su dueño, la pagará.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él 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;
Cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
17 if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 You do not keep a witch alive.
A la hechicera no darás la vida.
19 Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
Cualquiera que cohabitare con bestia, morirá.
20 He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
El que sacrificare a dioses, excepto sólo al SEÑOR, será muerto.
21 And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
Que si tú llegas a afligirle, y él a mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo 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 furor se encenderá, y os mataré a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
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 dieres a mi pueblo dinero prestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.
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 tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puestas del sol se lo volverás;
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 sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquel el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir; y será que cuando él a mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
28 You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
No maldecirás a los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
29 You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor, 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.
Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, 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.
Y habéis de serme varones santos; y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; a los perros la echaréis.
