< 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.
“Omuntu bw’anabbanga ente ya munne, oba endiga, n’agitta oba n’agitunda; anazzangawo ente ttaano olw’emu gy’abbye, n’endiga nnya olw’endiga emu.
2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
“Omubbi bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’amenya ennyumba, n’akubibwa emiggo n’afa; amukubye taabengako musango olw’okuyiwa omusaayi gw’omubbi oyo;
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;
naye singa ebyo bigwawo ng’enjuba emaze okuvaayo, anaabangako omusango olw’okuyiwa omusaayi ogwo. Omubbi anaateekwanga okuliwa; naye bw’abanga talina kantu, anaatundibwanga alyoke asasulire bye yabba.
4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
“Omubbi singa akwatibwa lubona nga n’ensolo gy’abbye agirina nnamu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi oba ndiga, anazzangawo bbiri bbiri.
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.
“Omuntu bw’anaabanga alunda ebisolo bye mu ddundiro lye oba mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu, ensolo ze n’azireka ne zigenda ziriira mu nnimiro y’omuntu omulala; anaasasulanga ku bibala ebisinga obulungi n’ezabbibu ebiva omumwe.
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.
“Omuliro bwe gunaalandanga ne guyita mu bisaka ne gukwata ennimiro y’omuntu, ne gwokya ebinywa by’eŋŋaano, oba eŋŋaano ekyakula, oba ne guzikiriza ennimiro ye yonna; eyakumye omuliro ogwo anaasasuliranga byonna ebyonoonese.
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.
“Omuntu bw’anaateresanga munne ensimbi oba ebintu bye ebirala, ne bamala babibbira mu nnyumba ye; omubbi bw’anaakwatibwanga anaaliwanga emirundi ebiri.
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;
Naye omubbi bw’ataakwatibwenga, nannyini nnyumba ateekwa agende eri abalamuzi, basalewo obanga ebintu bya munne ye yabitutte.
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.
Mu buli misango gyonna egy’okubeera n’ebintu mu ngeri emenya amateeka, ng’okubeera n’ente, oba endogoyi, oba endiga, oba ekyambalo, oba ekintu ekirala kyonna ekinaabanga kibuze, omuntu n’amala akyogerako nti, ‘Kino kyange,’ omuntu akirina n’oyo akiyita ekikye banaatwalanga ensonga zaabwe eri abalamuzi. Oyo abalamuzi gwe banaasaliranga nti gumusinze, anaddizangawo munne emirundi ebiri.
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 —
“Omuntu bw’anaateresanga munne endogoyi, oba ente, oba endiga, oba ensolo endala yonna; n’emala efa, oba n’erumizibwa, oba n’etwalibwa nga tekitegeerekese agitutte,
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;
ensonga zaabwe zinaagonjoolwanga nga eyatereka alayidde mu maaso ga Mukama nti ensolo eyo si ye yagibba. Nannyini nsolo ateekwanga okukkiriza ekirayiro ekyo, era taasasulwenga kintu kyonna.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
Naye bw’eneemubbibwangako, anaagiriwanga.
13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
Bw’eneebanga erumbiddwa ensolo enkambwe n’etaagulwataagulwa, anaaleetanga ebitundutundu byayo ebisigaddewo ng’obujulizi; taaliwenga nsolo etaaguddwataaguddwa.
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;
“Omuntu bw’aneeyazikanga ensolo ku muliraanwa we, n’erumizibwa, oba n’emufaako nga nnyini yo taliiwo, anaateekwanga okugisasulira.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
Naye nannyini yo bw’anaabangawo, taaliyirwenga. Ensolo ng’ebadde epangisibbwa bupangisibwa, omuwendo ogugipangisizza gunaamalanga mu kugisasulira.
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;
“Omusajja bw’anaasendasendanga omuwala omuto akyali embeerera, ne yeebaka naye, atwalengayo ebintu ebyobuko, amuwase.
17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
Naye singa kitaawe w’omuwala agaanira ddala okumumuwa, era asasulangayo omuwendo gw’ensimbi ogwenkanankana n’eby’obuko ebiweebwayo ku mbeerera.
18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
“Omukazi omulogo omuttanga bussi.
19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
“Omuntu akola eby’ensonyi n’ensolo ateekwanga kuttibwa.
20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
“Omuntu atwalanga ssaddaaka eri katonda omulala, atali nze Mukama, azikirizibwenga.
21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
“Bannamawanga temubayisanga bubi, so temubanyigirizanga, kubanga nammwe mwali bannaggwanga mu nsi y’e Misiri.
22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
“Nnamwandu ne mulekwa temubajooganga.
23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
Bwe munaabajooganga ne bankaabira, nnaabawulirizanga.
24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
Obusungu bwange ne bubuubuuka, mmwe ne mbatta n’ekitala. Bakyala bammwe ne bafuuka bannamwandu n’abaana bammwe bamulekwa.
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;
“Bw’owolanga ensimbi omu ku bantu bange abali mu mmwe, ng’ali mu kwetaaga, teweeyisanga ng’abawozi b’ensimbi abalala; tomusasuzanga magoba.
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:
Bw’otwalanga ekyambalo ky’omuntu ng’akakalu, kimuddize ng’enjuba egenda okugwa;
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.
kubanga ekyambalo kye ekyo kye ky’okwebikka kye kyokka ky’alina. Kale bw’otokimuddiza olwo asule mu ki? Bw’anankaabiriranga nzijanga kumuwuliriza, kubanga ndi wa kisa.
28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
“Tovumanga Katonda, wadde okwogera obubi ku bafuzi bammwe.
29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
“Tolwangawo kuwaayo ku bibala ebibereberye nga byengedde. “Mutabani wo omubereberye onoomumpanga.
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.
Ente zo n’endiga zo nazo onookolanga bw’otyo. Onoozirekeranga bannyina baazo okumala ennaku musanvu; onoozimpanga ku lunaku olw’omunaana.
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.
“Mujjanga kuba bantu bange batukuvu. Noolwekyo temuulyenga nnyama ya nsolo etaaguddwataaguddwa ebisolo eby’omu nsiko. Munaagirekeranga mbwa.
