If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; he shall make full restitution; if he have nothing, then shall he 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 thing stolen be actually 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 cause a field or vineyard to be eaten off, and he let his beasts enter, and they feed in another man's field; with the best of his own field, and with best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

If a fire break out, and meet with thorns, so that stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed thereby, 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 do deliver unto his neighbor money or vessels to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house: if the thief be found, he shall 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 shall the master of the house be brought unto the judges, [to swear] that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor'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, for ox, for ass, for lamb, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, of which he can say, This is it, before the judges shall come the cause of both parties, and he, whom the judges may condemn, shall pay double unto his neighbor.
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 neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a lamb, 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 have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept this, 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 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 as evidence; that which was torn he shall not make good.
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 aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely 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.
But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, the loss is included in 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 surely endow her to be his wife.

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 wise; [for if he cry at all unto me, I will surely 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.
My wrath shall wax hot, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

If thou take at all thy neighbor's raiment in pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by the time the sun goeth 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 it is his only covering, it is his raiment for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? 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.
The judges thou shalt not revile; and a ruler among thy people thou shalt not curse.

The first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors, shalt thou not delay to offer; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
