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.
si quis furatus fuerit bovem aut ovem et occiderit vel vendiderit quinque boves pro uno bove restituet et quattuor oves pro una ove
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit percussor non erit reus sanguinis
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.
quod si orto sole hoc fecerit homicidium perpetravit et ipse morietur si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat venundabitur
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est vivens sive bos sive asinus sive ovis duplum restituet
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.
si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena quicquid optimum habuerit in agro suo vel in vinea pro damni aestimatione restituet
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.
si egressus ignis invenerit spinas et conprehenderit acervos frugum sive stantes segetes in agris reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit
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.
si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam aut vas in custodiam et ab eo qui susceperat furto ablata fuerint si invenitur fur duplum reddet
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.
si latet dominus domus adplicabitur ad deos et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui
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.
ad perpetrandam fraudem tam in bove quam in asino et ove ac vestimento et quicquid damnum inferre potest ad deos utriusque causa perveniet et si illi iudicaverint duplum restituet proximo suo
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;
si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum bovem ovem et omne iumentum ad custodiam et mortuum fuerit aut debilitatum vel captum ab hostibus nullusque hoc viderit
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.
iusiurandum erit in medio quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui suscipietque dominus iuramentum et ille reddere non cogetur
12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
quod si furto ablatum fuerit restituet damnum domino
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
si comestum a bestia deferet ad eum quod occisum est et non restituet
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.
qui a proximo suo quicquam horum mutuo postularit et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente reddere conpelletur
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
quod si inpraesentiarum fuit dominus non restituet maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui
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.
si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam et dormierit cum ea dotabit eam et habebit uxorem
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
si pater virginis dare noluerit reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis quam virgines accipere consuerunt
18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
maleficos non patieris vivere
19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
qui coierit cum iumento morte moriatur
20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
qui immolat diis occidetur praeter Domino soli
21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
advenam non contristabis neque adfliges eum advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in terra Aegypti
22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
viduae et pupillo non nocebitis
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
si laeseritis eos vociferabuntur ad me et ego audiam clamorem eorum
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.
et indignabitur furor meus percutiamque vos gladio et erunt uxores vestrae viduae et filii vestri pupilli
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.
si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum non urgues eum quasi exactor nec usuris opprimes
26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum ante solis occasum redde ei
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.
ipsum enim est solum quo operitur indumentum carnis eius nec habet aliud in quo dormiat si clamaverit ad me exaudiam eum quia misericors sum
28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
diis non detrahes et principi populi tui non maledices
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.
decimas tuas et primitias non tardabis offerre primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi
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.
de bubus quoque et ovibus similiter facies septem diebus sit cum matre sua die octavo reddes illum mihi
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.
viri sancti eritis mihi carnem quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata non comedetis sed proicietis canibus
