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].
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá jí akọ màlúù tàbí àgùntàn, tí ó sì pa á tàbí tà á. Ó gbọdọ̀ san akọ màlúù márùn-ún padà fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí, àti àgùntàn mẹ́rin mìíràn fún ọ̀kan tí ó jí.
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.
“Bí a bá mú olè níbi ti ó ti ń fọ́lé, ti a sì lù ú pa, ẹni tí ó lù ú pa náà kò ní ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ojú ọ̀sán, a ó kà á si ìpànìyàn. Ọkùnrin ti ó lù ú pa náà yóò ni ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀. “Olè gbọdọ̀ san ohun tí ó jí padà. Ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá ni ohun ti ó lè fi san án padà, a ó tà á, a ó sì fi sanwó ohun tí ó jí gbé padà.
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.
Bí a bá rí ẹran tí ó jí gbé náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní ààyè: ìbá ṣe akọ màlúù, akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí àgùntàn, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ń bọ́ ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀ lórí pápá tàbí nínú ọgbà àjàrà, tí ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ jẹ nínú oko ẹlòmíràn, a ó mú kí ó san ohun ti ẹran rẹ̀ jẹ padà pẹ̀lú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú oko tàbí nínú ọgbà rẹ̀ (ẹlòmíràn padà fún un).
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.
“Bí iná bá ṣẹ́ tí ó kán lu igbó tí ó sì jó àká ọkà tàbí gbogbo oko náà, ẹni tí iná ṣẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ yóò san ohun tí iná ti ó ṣẹ́ jó padà.
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].
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní fàdákà tàbí ohun èlò fún ìtọ́jú, ti wọ́n sì jí gbé lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí a bá mú irú olè bẹ́ẹ̀, yóò san án padà ní ìlọ́po méjì.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n ti a kò bá rí olè náà mú, baálé ilé náà yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìdájọ́ láti jẹ́ kí a mọ̀ bí òun fúnra rẹ̀ ni ó gbé ohun ti ó sọnù náà.
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.
Bí ẹnìkan bá ni akọ màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn, aṣọ tàbí ohun ìní mìíràn tí ó sọnù ní ọ̀nà ti kò bá òfin mu, tí a sì rí ẹni ti ó sọ pé òun ni ó ní ín, àwọn méjèèjì yóò mú ẹjọ́ wọn wá sí iwájú adájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí adájọ́ bá dá lẹ́bi yóò san án ni ìlọ́po méjì padà fún ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
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.
“Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ní kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, akọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ẹranko mìíràn láti bá òun tọ́jú rẹ̀, tí ó sì kú, tàbí tí ó fi ara pa, tàbí tí a jí gbé, níbi tí kò ti sí ẹni tí o ṣe àkíyèsí.
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.
Wọn yóò búra sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà láàrín ara wọn ni iwájú Olúwa láti fihàn pé òun kò ní ọwọ́ nínú sísọnù ohun ọ̀sìn náà, olóhun gbọdọ̀ gba bẹ́ẹ̀, a kò sì ní san ohunkóhun fún un.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ti wọ́n bá jí ẹranko náà gbé ni ọ̀dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, yóò san ẹ̀san padà fún olúwa rẹ̀.
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.
Bí ẹranko búburú bá fà á ya, ó ní láti mú àyakù ẹran náà wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí, kò sì ní san ẹran náà padà.
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.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá sì yá ẹranko lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ẹranko náà sì fi ara pa, tàbí kí ó kú nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ni í kò sí nítòsí. O gbọdọ̀ san án padà.
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].”
Ṣùgbọ́n ti ó bá jẹ́ wí pé olóhun bá wà pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà, ẹni tí ó ya lò kò ní san ẹ̀san padà. Bí a bá yá ẹranko náà lò, owó tí ó fi yá a lò ni yóò fi tan àdánù ẹranko tí ó kú.
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.
“Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi àrékérekè mú wúńdíá kan, ẹni tí kò pinnu láti fẹ́, tí ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, yóò san owó orí rẹ̀, yóò sì fi ṣe aya rẹ̀.
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.
Bí baba ọmọbìnrin náà bá kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti fi fún un ní aya, ó ni láti san owó tó tó owó orí rẹ̀ fún fífẹ́ ẹ ní wúńdíá.
18 You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
“Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjẹ́ kí ó wà láààyè.
19 You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá bá ẹranko lòpọ̀ ní a ó pa.
20 You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú ẹbọ sí òrìṣà yàtọ̀ sí Olúwa nìkan, ni a ó yà sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun.
21 You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
“Ẹ má ṣe fi ìyà jẹ àlejò tàbí ni wọ́n lára, nítorí ìwọ pẹ̀lú ti jẹ́ àjèjì ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti rí.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
“Má ṣe yan opó tàbí ọmọ òrukàn jẹ.
23 If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
Bí ìwọ bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, bí wọn bá ké pè mi. Èmi yóò sì gbọ́ ohùn igbe wọn.
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.
Ìbínú mi yóò ru sókè. Èmi yóò sì fi idà pa ọ. Ìyàwó rẹ yóò di opó, àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò sì di aláìní baba.
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.
“Bí ìwọ bá yá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ìyà ń jẹ láàrín yín lówó, má ṣe dàbí ayánilówó, kí o má sì gba èlé.
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,
Bí ìwọ bá gba aṣọ aládùúgbò rẹ ni ẹ̀jẹ́, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fún un padà kí oòrùn tó ó wọ̀,
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.
nítorí aṣọ yìí nìkan ní ó ní ti ó lè fi bo àṣírí ara. Kí ni ohun mìíràn ti yóò fi sùn? Nígbà ti ó bá gbé ohun rẹ̀ sókè sí mi, èmi yóò gbọ́ nítorí aláàánú ni èmi.
28 Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run tàbí gégùn lé orí ìjòyè àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.
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.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ lọ́ra láti mú ọrẹ wá fún mi láti inú ìre oko rẹ àti láti inú wáìnì rẹ. “Àkọ́bí ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi.
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].
Ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ pẹ̀lú agbo màlúù rẹ àti agbo àgùntàn rẹ. Jẹ́ kí wọn wà lọ́dọ̀ ìyá wọn fún ọjọ́ méje, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fi wọ́n fún mi ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ.
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].”
“Ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mímọ́ mi. Nítorí náà má ṣe jẹ ẹran ti ẹranko búburú fàya: ẹ fi fún ajá jẹ.
