Exodus 22
1 Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
"Jos joku varastaa härän tai lampaan ja teurastaa tahi myy sen, antakoon viisi raavasta yhdestä härästä ja neljä lammasta yhdestä lampaasta.
2 If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
Jos varas tavataan murtautumasta sisälle ja lyödään kuoliaaksi, ei tappaja ole vereen vikapää.
3 But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
Mutta jos aurinko jo oli noussut, niin tappaja on vereen vikapää. Varas maksakoon korvauksen; mutta jos hänellä ei ole mitään, niin myytäköön hänet varastamansa tavaran korvaukseksi.
4 If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
Jos varastettu eläin, olipa se härkä, aasi tai lammas, tavataan hänen hallustaan elävänä, niin korvatkoon sen kaksinkertaisesti.
5 If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
Jos joku turmelee toiselta pellon tai viinitarhan päästämällä siihen karjansa ja syöttämällä sitä toisen pellossa, antakoon korvaukseksi peltonsa tai viinitarhansa parhaimman kasvun.
6 Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
Jos tuli pääsee irti ja tarttuu orjantappuroihin ja jos kuhilaat tai vilja tai pelto palaa, niin korvatkoon vahingon se, joka on kulovalkean sytyttänyt.
7 Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
Jos joku antaa toiselle rahaa tai tavaraa säilytettäväksi ja se varastetaan tämän talosta, niin varas, jos hänet tavataan, korvatkoon sen kaksinkertaisesti.
8 But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
Mutta jos varasta ei tavata, astukoon talon omistaja Jumalan eteen ja vannokoon, ettei hän ole kädellänsä kajonnut toisen omaan.
9 If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
Jokaisessa anastusasiassa, koskipa se härkää tai aasia tai lammasta tai vaatetta tai mitä tahansa kadonnutta, josta joku sanoo: 'Tämä se on', tulkoon kummankin asia Jumalan eteen; ja se, jonka Jumala tuomitsee syylliseksi, korvatkoon toiselle kaksinkertaisesti.
10 Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
Jos joku antaa toiselle aasin tai härän tai lampaan tai minkä eläimen tahansa säilytettäväksi ja se kuolee tai vahingoittuu tai ryöstetään pois kenenkään näkemättä,
11 Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
niin vala Herran edessä ratkaiskoon heidän välillään, onko toinen kädellänsä kajonnut toisen omaan; omistaja hyväksyköön valan, ja toinen olkoon korvauksesta vapaa.
12 But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
Mutta jos se on häneltä varastettu, korvatkoon sen omistajalle.
13 If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
Jos se on raadeltu, tuokoon sen esiin todistukseksi, eikä hänen tarvitse raadeltua korvata.
14 If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
Jos joku lainaa toiselta elukan ja se vahingoittuu tai kuolee eikä sen omistaja ole saapuvilla, korvatkoon sen.
15 But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
Jos sen omistaja on saapuvilla, ei tarvitse korvausta maksaa; jos se oli vuokralla, olkoon vuokra korvauksena.
16 “If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
Jos joku viettelee neitsyen, joka ei ole kihlattu, ja makaa hänet, maksakoon hänestä morsiamenhinnan ja ottakoon hänet vaimokseen.
17 But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
Jos isä kieltäytyy antamasta häntä hänelle, maksakoon mies rahassa morsiamenhinnan niinkuin neitsyestä.
18 You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
Velhonaisen älä salli elää.
19 You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
Jokainen, joka sekaantuu eläimeen, rangaistakoon kuolemalla.
20 You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
Joka uhraa muille jumalille kuin Herralle, ainoalle, olkoon vihitty tuhon omaksi.
21 You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
Älä sorra äläkä ahdista muukalaista, sillä te olette itse olleet muukalaisina Egyptin maassa.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
Älkää sortako leskeä tai orpoa.
23 If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
Sillä jos sinä sorrat heitä ja he huutavat minua avuksensa, niin minä totisesti kuulen heidän huutonsa,
24 And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
ja minun vihani syttyy, ja minä surmaan teidät miekalla, niin että teidän vaimonne joutuvat leskiksi ja lapsenne orvoiksi.
25 If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and require him to pay interest on the money.
Jos lainaat rahaa jollekin minun kansastani, jollekin köyhälle, joka on sinun luonasi, niin älä menettele koronkiskurin tavoin häntä kohtaan. Älkää panko korkoa hänen maksettavakseen.
26 If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
Jos sinä olet lähimmäiseltäsi ottanut pantiksi vaipan, anna se hänelle takaisin, ennenkuin aurinko laskee;
27 because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
sillä se on hänen ainoa peitteensä, johon hän käärii ruumiinsa. Missä hän muutoin makaisi? Ja jos hän huutaa minua avukseen, kuulen minä häntä, sillä minä olen laupias.
28 Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
Jumalaa älä herjaa, ja kansasi ruhtinasta älä kiroa.
29 (Do not withhold from/Give) me the best parts of the grain that you harvest and of the olive oil and the wine that you produce.
Älä viivyttele antamasta antia vilja-ja mehusatosi runsaudesta. Esikoinen pojistasi anna minulle.
30 You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
Samoin tee raavaittesi ja lampaittesi ensiksisyntyneelle. Seitsemän päivää se olkoon emänsä kanssa; kahdeksantena päivänä anna se minulle.
31 You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
Ja te olkaa minulle pyhä kansa. Älkää syökö kedolla raadellun eläimen lihaa, vaan heittäkää se koirille."
