Exodus 22

1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

١ وَإذَا سَرَقَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ خَرُوفاً وَذَبَحَهُ أَوْ بَاعَهُ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الثَّوْرِ بِخَمْسَةِ ثِيرَانٍ، وَصَاحِبَ الْخَرُوفِ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ.

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

٢ إِذَا ضُبِطَ السَّارِقُ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ لَيْلاً وَضُرِبَ فَمَاتَ، يَذْهَبُ دَمُهُ هَدْراً.

3 If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

٣ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ ضُبِطَ بَعْدَ شُرُوقِ الشَّمْسِ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ وَضُرِبَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، يَكُونُ الضَّارِبُ مُطَالَباً بِدَمِهِ. عَلَى اللِّصِّ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ تَعْوِيضاً. إِنْ كَانَ مُعْدَماً، يُبَاعُ بِسَرِقَتِهِ.

4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

٤ وَإذَا وُجِدَ الْحَيَوَانُ الْمَسْرُوقُ حَيًّا فِي حَوْزَتِهِ، ثَوْراً كَانَ أَمْ حِمَاراً أَمْ خَرُوفاً، يُعَوِّضُ السَّارِقُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ.

5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

٥ إِذَا سَرَّحَ إِنْسَانٌ بَهَائِمَهُ لِتَرْعَى فِي حَقْلِ جَارِهِ أَوِ كَرْمِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الْحَقْلِ أَوِ الْكَرْمِ مِنْ أَجْوَدِ نِتَاجِ حَقْلِهِ أَوْ كَرْمِهِ.

6 “If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

٦ إذَا انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ وَامْتَدَّتْ مِنَ الشَّوْكِ إِلَى أَكْدَاسِ الْقَمْحِ أَوِ السَّنَابِلِ النَّامِيَةِ أَوْ مَزْرُوعَاتِ الْحُقُولِ، فَعَلَى مَنْ أَوْقَدَ النَّارَ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ الْخَسَارَةَ.

7 “If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

٧ إذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ فِضَّةً أَوْ أَمْتِعَةً أَمَانَةً، ثُمَّ سُرِقَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَعَلَى السَّارِقِ إِذَا اكْتُشِفَ أَمْرُهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ ضِعْفَيْ قِيمَةِ الْمَسْرُوقِ كَتَعْوِيضٍ.

8 If the thief isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbor’s goods.

٨ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا لَمْ يُقْبَضْ عَلَى اللِّصِّ، يَمْثُلُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ لِيُقَرِّرُوا إنْ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي امْتَدَّتْ يَدُهُ إِلَى أَمْتِعَةِ صَاحِبِهِ.

9 For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

٩ فِي كُلِّ قَضِيَّةِ حِيَازَةٍ غَيْرِ شَرْعِيَّةٍ سَوَاءَ أَكَانَتْ مُتَعَلِّقَةً بِثَوْبٍ أَمْ حِمَارٍ أَمْ خَرُوفٍ أَمْ ثَوْرٍ أَمْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ مَفْقُودٍ، يَدَّعِي شَخْصٌ مَا أَنَّهُ يمْلِكُهُ، يَمْثُلُ الطَّرَفَانِ الْمُتَنَازِعَانِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ، وَمَنْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُضَاةُ بِالذَّنْبِ يُعَوِّضُ صَاحِبَهُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ.

10 “If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

١٠ إِذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ حِمَاراً أَوْ بَهِيمَةً أَمَانَةً، فَمَاتَ أَوْ تَأَذَّى أَوْ سُرِقَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ.

11 the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

١١ يَحْلِفُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ بِالرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى مِلْكِ جَارِهِ، فَيَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ الْيَمِينَ وَلا يَأْخُذُ تَعْوِيضاً.

12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.

١٢ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سُرِقَ مِنْهُ بِفِعْلِ الْإِهْمَالِ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَهُ.

13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

١٣ أَمَّا إِذَا افْتُرِسَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِأَشْلائِهِ شَهَادَةً عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلا يُطَالَبُ بِالتَّعْوِيضِ عَنِ الْحَيَوَانِ الْمُفْتَرَسِ.

14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

١٤ إِذَا اسْتَعَارَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ شَيْئاً فَانْكَسَرَ أَوْ مَاتَ فِي غِيَابِ صَاحِبِهِ، يَدْفَعُ المُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً.

15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

١٥ لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُ الْحَيَوَانِ حَاضِراً، فَلا يَدْفَعُ الْمُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً. أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ الْحَيَوَانُ أَوِ الشَّيْءُ مُسْتَأْجَراً، فَتُغَطِّي الأُجْرَةُ الْمَدْفُوعَةُ قِيمَةَ الْخَسَارَةِ.

16 “If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

١٦ إِذَا رَاوَدَ رَجُلٌ عَذْرَاءَ غَيْرَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ، وَعَاشَرَهَا، يَدْفَعُ مَهْرَهَا وَيَتَزَوَّجُهَا،

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

١٧ وَإِنْ أَبَى وَالِدُهَا قَطْعِيًّا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْهُ، يَتَحَتَّمْ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَدْفَعَ لَهُ مَهْرَ العَذَارَى.

18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

١٨ لَا تَدَعْ سَاحِرَةً تَعِيشُ.

19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

١٩ كُلُّ مَنْ ضَاجَعَ بَهِيمَةً حَتْماً يُقْتَلُ.

20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.

٢٠ مَنْ يُقَرِّبْ ذَبَائِحَ لِآلِهَةٍ غَيْرِ الرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، يُبَدْ.

21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

٢١ لَا تَضْطَهِدْ غَرِيباً وَلا تُضَايِقْهُ، فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

٢٢ لَا تُسِئْ إِلَى أَرْمَلَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ،

23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

٢٣ لأَنَّكَ إِنْ أَسَأْتَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَصَرَخَا إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعْ صُرَاخَهُمَا،

24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

٢٤ فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي وَأَقْتُلُكُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَتُصْبِحُ زَوْجَاتُكُمْ أَرَامِلَ وَأَوْلادُكُمْ يَتَامَى.

25 “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

٢٥ إِنْ أَقْرَضْتَ فَقِيراً مِنْ شَعْبِيَ الْمُقِيمِ عِنْدَكَ فَلا تُعَامِلْهُ كَالْمُرَابيِ، وَلا تَتَقَاضَ مِنْهُ فَائِدَةً.

26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

٢٦ إِذَا اسْتَرْهَنْتَ ثَوْبَ صَاحِبِكَ لِقَاءَ دَيْنٍ، فَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ،

27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

٢٧ لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبَ هُوَ ثَوْبُهُ الَّذِي يَقِي بِهِ بَدَنَهُ، وَإلَّا فَبِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَنَامُ؟ إِذَا صَرَخَ إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعُهُ لأَنِّي رَحِيمٌ.

28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

٢٨ لَا تَشْتِمِ الْقُضَاةَ وَلا تَلْعَنْ رُؤَسَاءَ شَعْبِكَ.

29 “You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

٢٩ لَا تُؤَخِّرْ تَقْدِيمَ بَاكُورَةِ مَحْصُولِ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمَعْصَرَتِكَ، وَأَعْطِنِي أَبْكَارَ بَنِيكَ.

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

٣٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِبَقَرِكَ وَغَنَمِكَ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُبْقِي الْبِكْرَ مَعَ أُمِّهِ، وَفِي يَوْمِهِ الثَّامِنِ تُقَدِّمُهُ لِي.

31 “You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.

٣١ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً. لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ فَرِيسَةٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، بَلِ اطْرَحُوهُ طَعَاماً لِلْكِلابِ.
