Exodus 22
1 'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
“Ne ame aɖe fi nyi alo alẽ, eye wòwui alo dzrae la, ele be fiafitɔ la natsɔ nyi atɔ̃ aɖo nyi ɖeka si wòfi la teƒe, eye wòatsɔ alẽ ene aɖo alẽ ɖeka teƒe.
2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
“Ne wolé fiafitɔ aɖe wònɔ gegem ɖe ame aɖe ƒe aƒe me be yeafi fi le zã me, eye wowui la, amewula la medze agɔ o.
3 if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
Ke ne nya sia dzɔ le ŋkeke me la, ekema woatsɔe abe amewuwu ene, eye ame si wui la dze agɔ. “Ne wolé fiafitɔ aɖe la, ele be wòaɖo nu si wòfi la teƒe pɛpɛpɛ. Ne mete ŋui o la, ekema ele be woadzrae wòazu kluvi ɖe fe la nu.
4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
“Ne wolée wòle nyi, tedzi, alẽ alo nu bubu aɖe fim la, ele be wòaxe nu si fim wòle la ƒe home teƒe eve.
5 'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.
“Ne ame aɖe nya hafi ɖe asi le eƒe lã aɖe ŋu wòge ɖe ame bubu ƒe waingble me alo wòna wòyi ame bubu ƒe lãwo ƒe gbeɖuƒe la, ele be wòatsɔ eƒe agblemenuku nyuitɔwo aɖo nu siwo eƒe lã la gblẽ la teƒe wòasɔ gbɔ ade nugbegblẽ la nu.
6 'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
“Ne ame aɖe tɔ dzo gbe le eƒe anyigba dzi, eye dzo la yi ɖabi agblemenuku siwo woxa da ɖi loo alo esiwo womexa haɖe o le ame bubu ƒe agble me la, ele be ame si tɔ dzo gbea la naxe fe ɖe nu siwo katã dzo la gblẽ la ta.
7 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
“Ne ame aɖe tsɔ ga alo adzɔnuwo na ame aɖe be wòadzra ɖo na ye eye wofi wo la, ne wolé fiafitɔ la la, ele be wòaxe nu si wòfi la ƒe home teƒe eve.
8 'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
Ke ne womenya fiafitɔ la o la, ekema woakplɔ ame si si wotsɔ ga la alo adzɔnuawo dee la ayi Mawu ŋkume be Mawu naɖee afia nenye eya ŋutɔe fi nɔvia ƒe nuawo loo alo menye eyae o.
9 for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
“Le go ɖe sia ɖe si me ne nyi, tedzi, alẽ, awu, avɔ alo nu bubu aɖe bu, eye nutɔ xɔe se be yekpɔe le ame bubu aɖe si eye amea sẽ nu la, ame eve siawo ado ɖe Mawu ŋkume be Mawu natso nya me. Ame si Mawu bu fɔe la axe nu bubu la ƒe fe teƒe eve na ame evelia.
10 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —
“Ne ame aɖe tsɔ tedzi, nyi, alẽ alo lã bubu aɖe na nɔvia be wòakpɔ edzi na ye, eye lã la ku, alo nuvevi wɔe alo wòsi, eye ame aɖeke menya nu si tututue wɔe, eye woate ŋu aɖi ɖase le eŋu o la,
11 an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
ekema lã la dzi kpɔla aka atam na Yehowa be menye yee fii o. Ele na nutɔ la be wòaxɔ atamkaka sia, eye teƒeɖoɖo aɖeke manɔ anyi o.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
Ke nenye ɖe wofi lã la alo nua la, ekema ele be dzikpɔla la naɖo eteƒe na nutɔ.
13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
Nenye lã wɔadã aɖee wui la, ekema ele be dzikpɔla la natsɔ lã la ƒe kukua vɛ abe ɖaseɖiɖi kple kpeɖodzi ene. Ekema teƒeɖoɖo aɖeke mahiã o.
14 'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;
“Ne ame aɖe ɣe nɔvia ƒe lã alo nu bubu aɖe, eye nuvevi wɔ lã la alo wòku la, ne nutɔ menɔ afi ma ɣe ma ɣi o la, ekema ele be ame si ɣee la naxe fe ɖe eta.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
Ke ne nutɔ le teƒea la, womaxe fe aɖeke nɛ o. Nenye be ɖe wòɣe lã la be yeanɔ fe xem ɖe eta la, ekema mele be wòaxe fe bubu aɖeke na nutɔ o, elabena wobu lã la ƒe ku kple nuvevi si ate ŋu awɔe la ŋu hafi ƒo asi la.
16 'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;
“Ne ŋutsu aɖe dɔ nyɔnuvi aɖe si ŋugbe womedo na ŋutsu aɖeke o gbɔ la, ele be ŋutsu la natsɔ tabianuwo na edzilawo, eye wòaɖe nyɔnuvi la.
17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
Ke ne nyɔnuvi la fofo gbe gbidigbidi be ye vi maɖe ŋutsu la o hã la, ele be ŋutsu la nana tabianuawo kokoko.
18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
“Ele be woawu nyɔnu si nye nukala la.
19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
“Ele be woawu ŋutsu si dɔ lã aɖe gbɔ la kokoko.
20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
“Ele be woawu ame sia ame si sa vɔ na mawu, si menye Yehowa o la godoo.
21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
“Mele be miate amedzro aɖeke ɖe to le go aɖeke me o; miɖo ŋku edzi be miawo hã mienye amedzrowo kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi.
22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
“Mele be miaba ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo o.
23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
Ne mieba wo le mɔ aɖe nu, eye wodo ɣli bia nye kpekpeɖeŋu la, makpe ɖe wo ŋu godoo.
24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
Ekema mado dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu, eye mana futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo nawu mi ale be mia srɔ̃wo nazu ahosiwo, eye mia viwo nazu tsyɔ̃eviwo.
25 'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
“Ne nɔviwò Hebritɔ aɖe le xaxa me, eye nèdo ga nɛ la, mele be nàxɔ deme le esi abe ale si nàxɔ le ame bubu si ene o.
26 if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
Ne èxɔ eƒe avɔ abe awɔbanu ene la, ele be nàgbugbɔe nɛ le fiẽ me,
27 for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
elabena ɖewohĩ avɔ ma koe nye vuvɔxenu le esi. Aleke wòate ŋu adɔ alɔ̃e ne avɔ la mele esi o? Ne mètrɔ avɔ la nɛ o, eye wòdo ɣli bia nye xɔname la, masee, eye mave enu, elabena amenuvelae menye.
28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
“Mègado vlo wò Mawu o eye mègaƒo fi de wò dukɔ ƒe kplɔlawo o.
29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
“Ele be nàtsɔ wò agblemenukuwo kple wò wain ƒe ewolia nam. “Nàƒle wò viŋutsuvi ŋgɔgbetɔ ta. Mègahe nu siawo wɔwɔ ɖe megbe o.
30 so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
“Na wò nyiwo kple alẽwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nanɔ wo dadawo gbɔ ŋkeke adre, eye nàtsɔ wo nam le ŋkeke enyilia gbe.
31 'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
“Esi miele kɔkɔe, eye mienye nye dukɔ tɔxɛ ta la, migaɖu lã aɖeke si lã wɔadã aɖe wu o. Migblẽ lã sia ƒe kukua ɖi na avuwo woaɖu.”
