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.
Če bo človek ukradel vola ali ovco in to zakolje ali proda, naj povrne pet volov za vola in štiri ovce za ovco.
2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
Če je najden tat, da vlamlja in je udarjen, da umre, potem naj zanj ne bo prelite nobene krvi.
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;
Če je nad njim vstalo sonce, naj bo zanj prelita kri, kajti moral bi narediti popolno povračilo. Če nima ničesar, potem naj bo prodan za svojo tatvino.
4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
Če je tatvina v njegovi roki zagotovo najdena živa, bodisi je to vol ali osel ali ovca, naj povrne dvojno.
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.
Če bo človek polju ali vinogradu povzročil, da bo požrto in bo vanj postavil svojo žival, pa se bo pasla na polju drugega človeka, naj povrne od najboljšega svojega lastnega polja in od najboljšega svojega lastnega vinograda.
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.
Če izbruhne ogenj in zajame trnje, tako da so s tem použite kopice žita ali stoječe žito ali polje, naj tisti, ki je zanetil ogenj, zagotovo naredi povračilo.
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.
Če bo človek izročil svojemu bližnjemu v hrambo denar ali stvari, pa bo to ukradeno iz človekove hiše; če bo tat najden, naj plača dvojno.
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;
Če tat ne bo najden, potem naj bo gospodar hiše priveden k sodnikom, da vidijo, ali je svojo roko položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega.
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.
Kajti vse vrste prekrški, bodisi je to za vola, za osla, za ovco, za oblačilo ali za katerokoli vrsto izgubljene stvari, za katero drug zatrjuje, da je njegova, naj zadeva obeh strani pride pred sodnike. In kogar bodo sodniki obsodili, naj svojemu bližnjemu plača dvojno.
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 —
Če človek svojemu bližnjemu izroči osla ali vola ali ovco ali katerokoli žival v varstvo, pa ta pogine ali je ranjena ali odpeljana proč [in] noben človek tega ne vidi,
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;
potem naj bo Gospodova prisega med njima obema, da svoje roke ni položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega. Njegov lastnik bo od tega sprejel, oni pa tega ne bo povrnil.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
Če je to od njega ukradeno, naj od tega lastniku naredi povračilo.
13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
Če bo to raztrgano na koščke, potem naj to prinese kot pričevanje, on pa ne bo povrnil tega, kar je bilo raztrgano.
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;
Če si človek karkoli izposodi od svojega bližnjega in je to poškodovano ali pogine, pa njegov lastnik ni bil s tem, naj on to zagotovo povrne.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
Vendar, če je bil lastnik od tega z njim, naj on tega ne povrne. Če je bila najeta stvar, je ta prišla za njegovo najemnino.
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;
Če mož privabi devico, ki ni zaročena in leži z njo, naj jo zagotovo oskrbi z doto, da postane njegova žena
17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
Če njen oče popolnoma odklanja, da mu jo da, naj plača denar glede na doto devic.
18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
Ne boš trpel, da bi čarovnica živela.
19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
Kdorkoli leži z živaljo, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
Kdor žrtvuje kateremukoli bogu, razen samo Gospodu, naj bo popolnoma uničen.
21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
Tujca ne boš niti dražil niti zatiral, kajti tujci ste bili v egiptovski deželi.
22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
Ne boste stiskali katerekoli vdove ali osirotelega otroka.
23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
Če jih boste na kakršen koli način stiskali in oni kakorkoli kličejo k meni, bom zagotovo slišal njihov klic
24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
in moj bes se bo razvnel in ubil vas bom z mečem; in vaše žene bodo vdove in vaši otroci sirote.
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;
Če komurkoli izmed mojega ljudstva, ki je poleg tebe ubog, posodiš denar, do njega ne bodi kakor oderuh niti nanj ne nalagaj obresti.
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:
Če sploh vzameš za jamstvo oblačilo svojega bližnjega, mu ga boš izročil do takrat, ko zahaja sonce.
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.
Kajti to je njegovo edino pokrivalo, to je njegovo oblačilo za njegovo kožo. V čem bo spal? In zgodilo se bo, ko kliče k meni, da bom slišal, kajti jaz sem milostljiv.
28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
Ne boš zasramoval bogov niti preklinjal vladarja svojega ljudstva.
29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
Ne boš odlašal darovati prvin od svojih zrelih sadov in od svojih žganih pijač. Prvorojenega izmed svojih sinov boš dal meni.
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.
Podobno boš storil s svojimi voli in s svojimi ovcami. Sedem dni naj bo ta s svojo materjo, na osmi dan pa ga boš dal meni.
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.
Vi mi boste sveti ljudje niti ne boste jedli kakršnega koli mesa, ki je raztrgano od živali na polju; vrgli ga boste psom.
