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.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ezuru ehi maọbụ atụrụ gbuo ya, maọbụ ree ya, ọ ga-akwụghachi ehi ise nʼọnọdụ ehi ahụ. Nʼọnọdụ otu atụrụ o zuuru, ọ ga-akwụghachi atụrụ anọ.
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:
“Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi mgbe ọ na-egbuka ụlọ onye ọzọ, ọ bụrụkwa na e tigbuo ya, mee ka ọ nwụọ, iwu ejideghị onye ahụ gburu ya.
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.
Kama ọ bụrụ na e tigburu onye ahụ mgbe chi bọcharala, ọmụma ikpe ga-adịrị onye ahụ tigburu ya. “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi, a ga-eme ka ọ kwụghachi ihe o zuru nʼohi. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ike kwụghachi, a ga-ere ya dịka ohu, jiri ego e retara kwụọ ụgwọ o ji.
4 If the thing stolen is found in his hand—whether ox or ass or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
Ọ bụrụ na a chọta ihe o zuru nʼaka ya, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, ọ ga-akwụghachi ọnụahịa ya okpukpu abụọ.
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.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ akpachara anya hapụ anụ ụlọ ya ka ọ gaa taa nri nʼubi maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ nʼubi onye ọzọ, onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ihe niile anụ ụlọ ya mebiri, ma ihe ọ ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ahụ aghaghị ịbụ ihe ọrụ ubi dị mma nke o si nʼubi ya maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị ya wepụta.
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.
“Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ na-agba banye nʼogwu, repịa ogbo ọka dị nʼubi mmadụ maọbụ ọka guzoro eguzo, ma ọ bụkwanụ ọhịa niile, onye ahụ tinyere ọkụ ahụ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe ahụ niile nke ọkụ repịara.
7 When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enye enyi ya maọbụ onye agbataobi ya ego, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ka o debere ya, ma onye ohi agaa zuru ya site nʼụlọ ya, a si na e jide onye ohi dị otu a, ọ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe o zuru okpukpu abụọ.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na a chọpụtaghị onye ohi ahụ, onye nwe ụlọ ahụ aghaghị ịbịa nʼihu Chineke, ka a chọpụta maọbụ ya nʼonwe ya setịpụrụ aka were ihe ahụ, bụ akụ nke onye ọzọ kpatara.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ehi ya, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, maọbụ atụrụ ya, maọbụ uwe, maọbụ ihe ọbụla furu efu, nke mmadụ na-asị, ‘Nke a bụ ya.’ Mmadụ abụọ ndị a ga-aga nʼihu ndị ikpe. Onye ọbụla ndị ikpe a mara ikpe ga-akwụghachi ibe ya ụgwọ okpukpu abụọ.
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,
“Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ mmadụ nyere onye agbataobi ya nʼaka idebe anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ, maọbụ gbafuo, ma anụ ụlọ ahụ ọ bụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ anụ ụlọ ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị onye hụrụ mgbe ihe ndị a dakwasịrị anụ ụlọ ahụ,
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.
mgbe ahụ, onye agbataobi ahụ e nyere anụ ndị a nʼaka idebe ga-aṅụ iyi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Iyi ahụ ọ ṅụrụ ga-egosi onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ na o zughị ya nʼohi. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụghachi ụgwọ ọbụla.
12 But, if it be verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
Ma ọ bụrụ na o zuru anụ ụlọ ahụ nʼohi site na nke agbataobi ya, ọ ghaghị ịkwụghachi ụgwọ niile nye onyenwe ya.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na anụ ọhịa gburu ya, ọ ga-eweta ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ a dọgburu adọgbu, iji gosi na anụ ọhịa dọgburu ya. Ọ ga-esikwa otu a gbanarị ikpe ọmụma. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụkwa ụgwọ ọbụla nʼihi anụ ụlọ ahụ.
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.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaziri anụ ụlọ site nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ mgbe onyenwe ya na-anọghị nʼebe ahụ, onye ahụ a gbazinyere anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya.
15 If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, —if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ nọ na nke onyenwe ya, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụ ụgwọ ọbụla. Ọ bụrụ na a kwụrụ ego mgbazi ọbụla nʼisi anụmanụ a, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụghachi ego ọbụla, nʼihi na ego mgbazi ọ kwuru ka a ga-ewere dịka ụgwọ.
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.
“Ọ bụrụ na nwoke arafuo nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, site nʼime ka ha abụọ dinaa, nwoke ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ ga-alụkwa ya dịka nwunye ya.
17 If her father utterly refuse, to give her to him, silver, shall he weigh out, according to the purchase-price of virgins.
Ọ bụrụ na nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ ekwenyeghị ka nwoke ahụ lụọ ya, nwoke ahụ aghaghị ịkwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ.
18 A sorceress, shalt thou not suffer to live.
“E kwesighị ịhapụ nwanyị mgbaasị ndụ.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
“Onye ọbụla ya na anụ ọbụla dinakọrọ, e kwesiri ime ka ọ nwụọ.
20 He that sacrificeth to the gods shall be devoted to destruction, —except [he sacrificeth] to Yahweh alone.
“Onye ọbụla chụrụ aja nye chi ọzọ ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị, a ga-eme ka ọ nwụọ.
21 And, a sojourner, shalt thou not tread down neither shalt thou drive him away, —for sojourners, ye became in the land of Egypt.
“Ọ kwesighị ka mmadụ ọbụla mesie onye ọbịa ihe ike nʼụzọ ọbụla. Unu aghaghị icheta na unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼala Ijipt.
22 Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:
“Unu emegbula nwanyị ọbụla di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ onye ọbụla na-enweghị nne na nna.
23 if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:
Unu megbuo ha, mee ka ha tikuo m, aga m anụ mkpu akwa ha, nyere ha aka.
24 so shall kindle mine anger, and I will slay you with the sword, —and your wives, shall become widows, and your, sons fatherless.
Mgbe ahụ, iwe m dị oke ọkụ ga-eripịa unu. Aga m ejikwa mma agha tigbuo unu. Ndị nwunye unu ga-aghọkwa ndị inyom na-enweghị di, ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị na-enweghị nna.
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.
“Ọ bụrụ na ị gbazinyere onye Hibru ego, onye bụ nwa mgbei, ị gaghị anara ya ọmụrụnwa.
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;
Ọ bụrụ na ị nara ya uwe ya nʼihi ego ahụ ị gbazinyere ya, ekwela ka uwe ahụ nọgide nʼaka gị ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
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.
Nʼihi na uwe ahụ nwere ike bụrụ naanị ihe o nwere, maọbụ uwe ọ ga-eji rahụ ụra. Ọ bụrụ na i zighachighị ya, o tikuo m site nʼịkwa akwa, aga m anụrụ mkpu akwa ya, nʼihi na abụ m onye obi ebere.
28 God, shalt thou not revile, —and a prince among thy people, shalt thou not curse.
“Ekwulula aha Chineke, abụkwala onye na-achị ndị gị ọnụ.
29 Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay, —the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.
“Atụfukwala oge ọbụla nʼịkwụghachi onyinye unu kwesiri inye. Maọbụ nke mkpụrụ ala ubi gị, na nke mmanya vaịnị gị, na ụgwọ i kwesiri ịkwụ. “Ị ghaghị inye m nwa gị nwoke e buru ụzọ mụọ.
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.

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.
“Unu ga na-abụrụ m ndị dị nsọ. Nʼihi nke a, wezuganụ onwe unu nʼebe anụ a dọgburu adọgbu dị. Unu erikwala anụ dị otu a, kama tụpụrụnụ ya nkịta.
