2 And if a nyyt theef brekynge an hows, ether vndurmynynge, is foundun, and is deed bi a wounde takun, the smytere schal not be gilti of blood;
“Kama mwizi akishikwa anavunja nyumba akapigwa hata akafa, aliyemuua hana hatia ya kumwaga damu;
3 that if he dide this whanne the sunne was rysun, he dide man sleyng, and he schal die. If a theef hath not that, that he schal yelde for thefte, he schal be seeld;
lakini jambo hilo likitokea wakati jua limechomoza, huyo mtu atakuwa na hatia ya kumwaga damu. “Mwizi huyo sharti alipe, lakini kama hana kitu, lazima auzwe ili alipe kwa ajili ya wizi wake.
4 if that thing that he staal, is foundun quyk at hym, ether oxe, ether asse, ether scheep, he schal restore the double.

6 If fier goith out, and fyndith eeris of corn, and catchith heepis of corn, ethir cornes stondynge in feeldis, he that kyndlide the fier schal yeelde the harm.
“Kama moto ukiwaka na kuenea kwenye vichaka vya miiba na kuteketeza miganda ya nafaka au nafaka ambayo haijavunwa, au kuteketeza shamba lote, mtu yule aliyewasha moto lazima alipe.
7 If a man bitakith in to kepyng monei to a freend, ether a vessel `in to keping, and it is takun awey bi thefte fro hym that resseyuede, if the theef is foundun, he schal restore the double.
“Kama mtu akimpa jirani yake fedha au mali nyingine amtunzie, na kama vikiibwa kutoka nyumba ya huyo jirani, kama mwizi atashikwa, lazima alipe mara mbili.
8 If the theef is hid, the lord of the hows schal be brouyt to goddis, `that is, iugis, and he schal swere, that he helde not forth the hond in to `the thing of his neiybore,
Lakini mwizi asipopatikana, mwenye nyumba atafika mbele ya waamuzi ili kuthibitisha kuwa hakuchukua mali ya mwenzake.
9 to `do fraude; as wel in oxe, as in asse, and in scheep, and in clooth; and what euer thing may brynge in harm, the cause of euer eithir schal come to goddis, and if thei demen, he schal restore the double to his neiybore.
Pakiwepo jambo lolote la mali isiyo halali, ikiwa ni maksai, punda, kondoo, mavazi, ama mali yoyote iliyopotea ambayo fulani atasema, ‘Hii ni mali yangu,’ pande zote mbili wataleta mashauri yao mbele ya waamuzi. Yule ambaye waamuzi watamwona kuwa na hatia atamlipa jirani yake mara mbili.
10 If ony man bitakith to his neiybore oxe, asse, scheep, and al werk beeste to kepyng, and it is deed, ether is maad feble, ethir is takun of enemyes, and no man seeth this,
“Kama mtu akimpa jirani yake punda, ngʼombe, kondoo au mnyama mwingine yeyote amtunzie, akifa au akijeruhiwa au akichukuliwa wakati haonekani na mtu yeyote,
11 an ooth schal be in the myddis, that he helde not forth the hond to the `thing of his neiybore; and the lord schal resseyue the ooth, and he schal not be compellid to yelde.
jambo hili kati yao wawili litaamuliwa kwa kuapa kiapo mbele za Bwana, kwamba huyo jirani hakuhusika na wizi wa mali ya jirani yake. Mwenye mali itampasa akubali jambo hili, na hakuna malipo yatakayohitajika.
12 That if it is takun awei bi thefte, he schal restore the harm to the lord;
Lakini kama mnyama aliibwa kwa jirani, itampasa amlipe mwenye mnyama.
13 if it is etun of a beeste, he schal brynge to the lord that that is slayn, and he schal not restore.

“Kama mtu akimwazima mnyama kutoka kwa jirani yake, na kama akiumia au akafa na mwenye mnyama hayupo, lazima amlipe huyo mnyama.
15 he schal not restore, moost if it cam hirid, for the meede of his werk.
Lakini mwenye mnyama akiwa angalipo na mnyama wake, mwazimaji hatalazimika kumlipa. Kama mnyama alikuwa amekodishwa, fedha iliyolipwa kwa kukodisha inatosha kwa kufidia hasara.
16 If a man disseyueth a virgyn not yit weddid, and slepith with hir, he schal yyue dower to hir, and schal haue hir wijf.

24 and my greet veniaunce schal haue indignacioun, and Y schal smyte you with swerd, and youre wyues schulen be widewis, and youre sones schulen be fadirles.
Hasira yangu itawaka, nami nitawaua kwa upanga, wake zenu watakuwa wajane na watoto wenu watakuwa yatima.
25 If thou yyuest money to loone to my pore puple, that dwellith with thee, thou schalt not constreyne hym, as an extorsioner doith, nether thou schalt oppresse hym by vsuris.
“Kama ukimkopesha mmojawapo wa watu wangu fedha ambaye ni mhitaji, usiwe kama mtu mkopesha fedha; usimtoze riba.
26 If thou takist of thi neiybore `a wed a clooth, thou schalt yelde to hym bifore the goyng doun of the sunne;
Kama ukichukua vazi la jirani kama rehani, ulirudishe kwake kabla jua kuzama,
27 for that aloone is the cloothing of his fleisch, with which he is hilid, nether he hath another, in which he slepith; if he crieth to me, Y schal here hym; for Y am mercyful.
kwa kuwa vazi lake ndilo pekee alilo nalo la kumfunika mwili wake. Ni nini kingine atajifunika nacho? Atakaponililia, nitasikia, kwa kuwa nina huruma.
28 Thou schalt not bacbyte goddis, and thou schalt not curse the prince of thi puple.
“Usimkufuru Mungu au kumlaani mtawala wa watu wako.
29 Thou schalt not tarye to offre to the Lord thi tithis, and firste fruytis. Thou schalt yyue to me the firste gendrid of thi sones;
