Mose 2 22
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.
When a man steals an ox or sheep, and has slaughtered it or sold it, he repays [with] five of the herd for the ox, and four of the flock 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 in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood 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 has risen on him, blood [is] for him, he certainly repays; if he has nothing, then he has 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 theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays 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.
When a man depastures a field or vineyard, and has sent out his beast, and it has pastured in the field of another, he repays [with] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard.
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.
When fire goes forth and has found thorns, and a stack, or the standing grain, or the field has been consumed, he who causes the burning certainly repays.
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.
When a man gives silver or vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it has been stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, he repays 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 is not found, then the master of the house has been brought near to God [to see] whether he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor.
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 every matter of transgression, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his, the matter of them both comes to God; he whom God condemns repays double to 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,
When a man gives to his neighbor a donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it has died, or has been hurt, or taken captive, [with] none seeing—
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 YHWH is between them both, that he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor, and its owner has accepted, and he does not repay;
12 Ke nenye ɖe wofi lã la alo nua la, ekema ele be dzikpɔla la naɖo eteƒe na nutɔ.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to 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 is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
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 when a man asks for [anything] from his neighbor, and it has been hurt or has died—its owner not being with it—he certainly repays;
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 its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come 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 when a man entices a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and has lain with her, he certainly endows her to himself for a 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 refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 “Ele be woawu nyɔnu si nye nukala la.
You do not keep a witch alive.
19 “Ele be woawu ŋutsu si dɔ lã aɖe gbɔ la kokoko.
Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 “Ele be woawu ame sia ame si sa vɔ na mawu, si menye Yehowa o la godoo.
He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
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.
And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22 “Mele be miaba ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo o.
You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
23 Ne mieba wo le mɔ aɖe nu, eye wodo ɣli bia nye kpekpeɖeŋu la, makpe ɖe wo ŋu godoo.
if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I 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 has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
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 you lend money [to] My poor people [who are] with you, you are not as a usurer to him; you do not lay usury on him;
26 Ne èxɔ eƒe avɔ abe awɔbanu ene la, ele be nàgbugbɔe nɛ le fiẽ me,
if you take the garment of your neighbor in pledge at all, you return it to him during the going in of the sun:
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 garment for his skin; wherein does he lie down? And it has come to pass, when he cries to Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
28 “Mègado vlo wò Mawu o eye mègaƒo fi de wò dukɔ ƒe kplɔlawo o.
You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your 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.
You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
30 “Na wò nyiwo kple alẽwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nanɔ wo dadawo gbɔ ŋkeke adre, eye nàtsɔ wo nam le ŋkeke enyilia gbe.
so you do to your ox [and] to your sheep; it is with its mother [for] seven days, on the eighth day you give it to 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 you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
