< 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].
Haddii nin dibi ama lax xado, oo uu qasho ama iibiyo, waa inuu shan dibi dibigii ku magdhabo, laxdiina afar laxaad.
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.
Haddii tuug la helo isagoo guri u dhacaya, oo inta wax lagu dhufto uu dhinto, markaas kii dilay dhiig eed kuma laha.
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.
Haddiise qorraxdu u soo baxdo, markaas dhiigga eed buu ku leeyahay. Waa inuu u soo celiyaa, hadduusanse waxba haysan, de markaas waa in isaga la iibiyaa tuugnimadiisii aawadeed.
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.
Haddiise wuxuu xaday iyagoo nool gacantiisa laga helo, ama dibi ha noqdo amase dameer, amase lax, waa inuu labanlaab u bixiyaa.
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.
Haddii nin beer canab ah ama beer kale xoolo daajiyo, oo uu neefkiisa ku sii daayo si uu nin kale beertiis u daaqo, de markaas waa inuu meesha beertiisa ugu wanaagsan iyo meesha beertiisa canabka ah ugu wanaagsan ugu magdhabaa.
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.
Haddii dab baxo, oo uu qodxanta qabsado, oo uu wada gubo xidhmooyinka sarreenka ah ama sarreenka weli baalka ku yaal, ama beerta oo dhan, markaas kii dabka shiday waa inuu magdhabaa.
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].
Haddii nin deriskiisa lacag ama alaab ammaano ugu dhiibto, oo ninka gurigiisii laga xado, oo markaas tuuggii la helo, waa inuu labanlaab u magdhabaa.
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].
Haddiise aan tuuggii la helin, markaas waa in ninkii guriga lahaa xaakinnada u soo dhowaadaa si loo caddeeyo inuu alaabtii deriskiisa fartiisa saaray iyo in kale.
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.
Waayo, wax kasta oo xadgudub ah ama ha noqdo dibi aawadiis, ama dameer aawadiis, ama lax aawadeed, ama dhar aawadiis, ama wax kasta oo baadi ah, haddii la leeyahay, Waa kan, waa in labada qolo arrintooda xaakinnada la hor keenaa. Oo midkii xaakinnadu ku xukumaan waa inuu deriskiisa labanlaab ugu magdhabaa.
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.
Haddii nin deriskiisa ammaano ugu dhiibto dameer ama dibi, ama lax amase neef uun, markaas hadduu dhinto, ama wax gaadhaan, ama la kaxaysto iyadoo aan la arkayn,
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.
markaas waa in dhaartii Rabbiga la dhex dhigaa labadooda, si loo caddeeyo inuu fartiisa saaray xoolihii deriskiisa iyo in kale, oo kii lahaana waa inuu aqbalaa, oo waxbana loo magdhabi maayo.
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.
Laakiinse haddii laga xado, waa inuu isagu qofkii lahaa u magdhabaa.
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.
Haddiise dugaag bakhtiisto, waa inuu marag ahaan u keenaa, oo wixii dugaaggu bakhtiistay waxba ka magdhabi maayo.
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.
Oo haddii nin deriskiisa neef ka ammaahdo, oo ay wax gaadhaan amaba uu dhinto, isagoo aan ninkii lahaa la joogin, kaasu hubaal waa inuu magdhabaa.
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].”
Haddiise kii lahaa la joogay, waa inuusan waxba ka magdhabin, oo hadduu kiro ahaa, kiradiisii waa laga xisaabay.
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.
Oo haddii nin sasabto gabadh bikrad ah oo aan doonanayn, oo uu iyada la seexdo, de markaas waa inuu yarad ka bixiyo oo uu guursadaa iyada.
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.
Haddiise aabbeheed innaba u diido inuu isaga siiyo, de markaas waa inuu bixiyaa intii gabadh bikrad ah yaradkeedu yahay.
18 You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
Saaxirad inay sii noolaato waa inaadan u fasaxin.
19 You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
Ku alla kii neef u galmooda, hubaal waa in la dilaa.
20 You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
Kii wax u bixiya ilaah kale oo aan Rabbiga keligiis ah ahayn, kaas waa in dhammaantiis la baabbi'iyaa.
21 You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
Oo qariib waa inaadan xumayn, ama waa inaadan dulmin, waayo, idinba qariib baad ku ahaydeen dalkii Masar.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
Waa inaydnaan dhibin carmal, ama ilmo agoon ah.
23 If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
Oo si kasta ha noqotee haddii aad iyaga dhibtid, oo ay ii qayshadaan hubaal qayladooda waan maqli doonaa,
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.
oo aad baan u cadhoon doonaa, oo markaasaan seef idinku dili doonaa, kolkaasaa naagihiinnu waxay noqon doonaan carmallo, carruurtiinnuna agoon.
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.
Oo haddaad lacag ammaahisid dadkayga masaakiinta ah oo kula jooga, waa inaadan ku noqon sidii mid dayn ku leh ama waa inaadan waxba kor saarin.
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,
Haddaad deriskaaga dharkiisa rahmad uga qaadatid waa inaad u celisaa intaan qorraxdu dhicin,
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.
waayo, kaasu waa kan qudh ah oo uu isa saari jiray, oo waa dharkii uu huwan jiray, oo muxuu ku seexan doonaa? Oo waxaa dhici doonta in markuu ii qayshado, aan maqli doono, waayo, anigu waan raxmad badnahay.
28 Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
Waa inaadan xaakinnada caayin, mid dadkaaga u taliyana ha habaarin.
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.
Waa inaadan ka raagin inaad wax ka bixiso midhahaaga badan iyo dheecaanka macsaraddaada. Oo curadyada dadkaagana waa inaad aniga i siisaa.
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].
Oo sidaas oo kalena waa inaad ka yeeshaa dibiyadaada iyo idahaaga; toddoba maalmood waa inuu hooyadiis la joogaa, maalinta siddeedaadna waa inaad ii bixisaa.
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].”
Oo waa inaad dad quduus ah ii ahaataan, oo sidaas daraaddeed waa inaydnaan cunin hilib neef oo dugaag berrinka ku bakhtiistay, laakiinse waa inaad eeyaha u tuurtaan.
