Exodus 22
1 If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, then he must pay five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
Cuando alguno hurtare buey u oveja, y lo degollare o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
2 If a thief is found breaking in, and if he is struck so that he dies, in that case no guilt for murder will attach to anyone on his account.
Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que lo hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
3 But if the sun has risen before he breaks in, guilt for murder will attach to the person who kills him. A thief must make restitution. If he has nothing, then he must be sold for his theft.
Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, el matador será reo de homicidio; el ladrón habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
4 If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, a donkey, or a sheep, he must pay back double.
Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey o asno u oveja vivos, pagará el doble.
5 If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard.
Si alguno hiciere pastar tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.
6 If a fire breaks out and spreads in thorns so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or a field is consumed, the one who started the fire must surely make restitution.
Cuando se prendiere fuego, y al quemar espinas quemare mieses amontonadas o en pie, o campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
7 If a man gives money or goods to his neighbor for safe keeping, and if it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, that thief must pay double.
Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata o alhajas a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.
8 But if the thief is not found, then the owner of the house must come before the judges to see whether he has put his own hand on his neighbor's property.
Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado a los jueces, para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
9 For every dispute about something, whether it is an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or any other missing thing about which one says, “This belongs to me,” the claim of both parties must come before the judges. The man whom the judges find guilty must pay double to his neighbor.
Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble a su prójimo.
10 If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and if it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone seeing it,
Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquier otro animal a guardar, y se muriere o se perniquebrare, o fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;
11 an oath to Yahweh must be taken by them both, as to whether or not one person has put his hand on his neighbor's property. The owner must accept this, and the other will make no restitution.
juramento del SEÑOR tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no metió su mano a la hacienda de su prójimo; y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.
12 But if it was stolen from him, the other must make restitution to the owner for it.
Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, lo pagará a su dueño.
13 If an animal was torn in pieces, let the other man bring the animal as evidence. He will not have to pay for what was torn.
Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, le traerá testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
14 If a man borrows any animal from his neighbor and the animal is injured or dies without the owner being with it, the other man must surely make restitution.
Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada bestia de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrada o muerta, ausente su dueño, la pagará.
15 But if the owner was with it, the other man will not have to pay; if the animal was hired, it will be paid for by its hiring fee.
Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and if he sleeps with her, he must surely make her his wife by paying the bride wealth required for this.
Cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
17 If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money equal to the bride wealth of virgins.
Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
A la hechicera no darás la vida.
19 Whoever sleeps with a beast must surely be put to death.
Cualquiera que cohabitare con bestia, morirá.
20 Whoever sacrifices to any god except to Yahweh must be completely destroyed.
El que sacrificare a dioses, excepto sólo al SEÑOR, será muerto.
21 You must not wrong a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 If you afflict them at all, and if they call out to me, I will surely hear their call.
Que si tú llegas a afligirle, y él a mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;
24 My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows, and your children will become fatherless.
y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
25 If you lend money to any of my people among you who are poor, you must not be like a moneylender to him or charge him interest.
Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero prestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.
26 If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him before the sun goes down,
Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puestas del sol se lo volverás;
27 for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? When he calls out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate.
porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquel el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir; y será que cuando él a mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
28 You must not blaspheme me, God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
No maldecirás a los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your winepresses. You must give to me the firstborn of your sons.
No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor, me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
30 You must also do the same with your oxen and your sheep. For seven days they may remain with their mothers, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.
Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
31 You will be people that are set apart for me. So you must not eat any meat that was torn by animals in the field. Instead, you must throw it to the dogs.
Y habéis de serme varones santos; y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; a los perros la echaréis.
