1 “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.
If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
2 “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.
If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.
3 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.
If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.
4 “Ne wolée wòle nyi, tedzi, alẽ alo nu bubu aɖe fim la, ele be wòaxe nu si fim wòle la ƒe home teƒe eve.
If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
5 “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.
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make [it] good.
6 “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.
— If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good.
7 “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.
— If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;
8 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.
if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
9 “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.
As to all manner of fraud, — as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this — the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.
10 “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,
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],
11 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.
an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.
12 Ke nenye ɖe wofi lã la alo nua la, ekema ele be dzikpɔla la naɖo eteƒe na nutɔ.
But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make [it] good unto its owner.
13 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.
If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it [as] witness: he shall not make good what was torn.
14 “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.
— And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;
15 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.
if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make [it] good; if it be a hired [thing], it came for its hire.
16 “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.
And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.
17 Ke ne nyɔnuvi la fofo gbe gbidigbidi be ye vi maɖe ŋutsu la o hã la, ele be ŋutsu la nana tabianuawo kokoko.
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 “Ele be woawu nyɔnu si nye nukala la.
— Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 “Ele be woawu ŋutsu si dɔ lã aɖe gbɔ la kokoko.
— Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.
20 “Ele be woawu ame sia ame si sa vɔ na mawu, si menye Yehowa o la godoo.
— He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.
21 “Mele be miate amedzro aɖeke ɖe to le go aɖeke me o; miɖo ŋku edzi be miawo hã mienye amedzrowo kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi.
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 “Mele be miaba ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo o.
Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
23 Ne mieba wo le mɔ aɖe nu, eye wodo ɣli bia nye kpekpeɖeŋu la, makpe ɖe wo ŋu godoo.
If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;
24 Ekema mado dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu, eye mana futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo nawu mi ale be mia srɔ̃wo nazu ahosiwo, eye mia viwo nazu tsyɔ̃eviwo.
and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 “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.
— If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.
26 Ne èxɔ eƒe avɔ abe awɔbanu ene la, ele be nàgbugbɔe nɛ le fiẽ me,
— If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;
27 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.
for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 “Mègado vlo wò Mawu o eye mègaƒo fi de wò dukɔ ƒe kplɔlawo o.
Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.
29 “Ele be nàtsɔ wò agblemenukuwo kple wò wain ƒe ewolia nam. “Nàƒle wò viŋutsuvi ŋgɔgbetɔ ta. Mègahe nu siawo wɔwɔ ɖe megbe o.
— Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy [threshing-floor] and the outflow of thy [winepress]. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 “Na wò nyiwo kple alẽwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nanɔ wo dadawo gbɔ ŋkeke adre, eye nàtsɔ wo nam le ŋkeke enyilia gbe.
Likewise shalt thou do with thy calf, with thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31 “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.”
— And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.
