If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be 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 theft be certainly found in his hand alive, 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 shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
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 catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
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 shall 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 pay 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, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have 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.
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto 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 beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing 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.
Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, 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.
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
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 be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his 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 entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely secure her to be his wife.

All of you 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 you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their 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 wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he cries 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.
You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.

You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits, and of your liquors: the firstborn of your sons shall you give unto me.

Likewise shall you do with your oxen, and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day you shall give it me.

And all of you shall be holy men unto me: neither shall all of you eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; all of you shall cast it to the dogs.
