< Exodus 22 >
1 When a man stealeth an ox or a sheep, and slayeth it, or selleth it, with five of the herd, shall he make good—for the ox, or with four of the flock, for the sheep.
'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
2 If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood:
'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
3 should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him, —he is surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.
if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
4 If the thing stolen is found in his hand—whether ox or ass or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
5 When a man causeth a field or a vineyard to be depastured, or hath sent in his own cattle and stripped the field of another, he shall, surely make restitution, out of his own field, according to the yield thereof; or if, all the field, he depasture, with the best of his own field, or with the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.
6 When a fire breaketh out and hath come upon thorns and so there is consumed a stack of sheaves, or the standing corn, or the field, he that kindled the fire, shall surely make restitution.
'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
7 When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
8 if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution double, if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God to swear that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour.
'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
9 For any affair of trespass—for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle for anything lost as to which one could say—This is it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both, —he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double to his neighbour.
for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
10 When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, —and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —
11 the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour, —then shall the owner thereof accept it and he shall not make restitution.
an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
12 But, if it be verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
13 If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness—for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.
if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
14 And when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.
'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;
15 If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, —if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
16 And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase-price, that she may be his wife.
'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;
17 If her father utterly refuse, to give her to him, silver, shall he weigh out, according to the purchase-price of virgins.
if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
18 A sorceress, shalt thou not suffer to live.
'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 He that sacrificeth to the gods shall be devoted to destruction, —except [he sacrificeth] to Yahweh alone.
'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
21 And, a sojourner, shalt thou not tread down neither shalt thou drive him away, —for sojourners, ye became in the land of Egypt.
'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
22 Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:
'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
23 if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:
if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
24 so shall kindle mine anger, and I will slay you with the sword, —and your wives, shall become widows, and your, sons fatherless.
and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 If, silver, thou wilt lend unto my people—unto the humbled one by thee, thou shalt not be to him like one that lendeth on interest, —thou shalt not lay upon him interest.
'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
26 If thou, do take in pledge, the mantle of thy neighbour, by the going in of the sun, shalt thou restore it to him;
if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
27 for that is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin, —wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear because, gracious, I am.
for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
28 God, shalt thou not revile, —and a prince among thy people, shalt thou not curse.
'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
29 Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay, —the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.
'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
30 Thus, shalt thou do with thine ox with thy sheep, —seven days, shall it be with its dam, on the eighth day, shalt thou give it to me.
so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
31 Holy men, therefore shall ye truly become to me, —and flesh in the field torn to pieces, shall ye not eat, to the dogs, shall ye cast it.
'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
