Egzòd 22
1 Si yon nonm ta vòlè yon bèf oswa yon mouton epi kòche li oswa vann li, li va peye senk bèf pou bèf la, e kat mouton pou mouton an.
If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, then he must pay five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
2 Si vòlè a vin kenbe pandan l ap fonse antre, e bat jis li vin mouri, p ap gen koupabilite pou san li sou kont mèt kay la.
If a thief is found breaking in, and if he is struck so that he dies, in that case no guilt for murder will attach to anyone on his account.
3 Men si solèy la gen tan leve sou li, va genyen koupabilite san sou li. Li va anverite peye dedonmajman an. Si li pa posede anyen, alò, y ap vann li pou vòl sa a.
But if the sun has risen before he breaks in, guilt for murder will attach to the person who kills him. A thief must make restitution. If he has nothing, then he must be sold for his theft.
4 Si sa li te vòlè a twouve nan posesyon li, menm si se yon bourik, oswa yon mouton, li va peye li doub.
If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, a donkey, or a sheep, he must pay back double.
5 Si yon mesye kite bèt li yo manje nan yon chan, oswa yon jaden jiskaske jaden an fini nèt, e kite bèt li lage pou li manje nan chan a yon lòt moun, li va peye dedonmajman an soti nan pi bon pati tè li, ak meyè pati chan rezen li lan.
If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard.
6 Si yon dife vin parèt, e kouri jwenn bwa pikan yo, jis rive sereyal k ap rasanble nan chan an, oswa sereyal chan an li menm pran dife, sila ki te limen dife a va anverite peye.
If a fire breaks out and spreads in thorns so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or a field is consumed, the one who started the fire must surely make restitution.
7 Si yon mesye bay vwazen li lajan oswa byen li pou kenbe pou li, e li vòlè soti lakay mesye a, depi vòlè a kenbe, li va peye doub.
If a man gives money or goods to his neighbor for safe keeping, and if it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, that thief must pay double.
8 Si yo pa jwenn vòlè a, alò, mèt kay la va parèt devan jij yo pou konstate si li te mete men li sou byen vwazen li an.
But if the thief is not found, then the owner of the house must come before the judges to see whether he has put his own hand on his neighbor's property.
9 Pou chak vyòl konfyans, kèlkeswa ke se pou bèf, pou bourik, pou mouton, pou rad, oswa pou nenpòt bagay ki pèdi, si yon moun kapab di: “Sila se pa m nan!”, yo toude va vini devan jij yo. Konsa, sila ke jij yo kondane a va peye doub a vwazen li an.
For every dispute about something, whether it is an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or any other missing thing about which one says, “This belongs to me,” the claim of both parties must come before the judges. The man whom the judges find guilty must pay double to his neighbor.
10 Si yon mesye bay vwazen li yon bourik, yon bèf, yon mouton, oswa nenpòt bèt pou kenbe pou li, epi li vin mouri, oswa blese, oswa pouse ale lè moun pa wè,
If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and if it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone seeing it,
11 yon sèman devan SENYÈ a va fèt pa yo dèske li pa t mete men l sou byen a vwazen li. Konsa, mèt li va aksepte li, e li p ap oblije fè peye dedonmajman.
an oath to Yahweh must be taken by them both, as to whether or not one person has put his hand on his neighbor's property. The owner must accept this, and the other will make no restitution.
12 Men si li te vrèman vòlè li, li va peye dedonmajman a mèt li.
But if it was stolen from him, the other must make restitution to the owner for it.
13 Si li chire an mòso, kite sa mennen kòm evidans. Li p ap peye dedonmajman pou sa ki chire an moso a.
If an animal was torn in pieces, let the other man bring the animal as evidence. He will not have to pay for what was torn.
14 Si yon mesye prete yon bagay nan men vwazen li, e sa vin donmaje oswa mouri pandan mèt li pa la, li va peye tout rekonpans.
If a man borrows any animal from his neighbor and the animal is injured or dies without the owner being with it, the other man must surely make restitution.
15 Si mèt li la avè l, li p ap peye rekonpans. Si se lwaye, sa te vini ak frè lwaye li.
But if the owner was with it, the other man will not have to pay; if the animal was hired, it will be paid for by its hiring fee.
16 Si yon mesye sedwi yon vyèj ki poko fiyanse, e li vin kouche avèk li, li dwe peye li yon frè fiyanse pou l ka vin madanm li.
If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and if he sleeps with her, he must surely make her his wife by paying the bride wealth required for this.
17 Si papa li refize nèt pou ba li fi li, li va peye lajan ki menm fòs avèk frè fiyanse a pou vyèj yo.
If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money equal to the bride wealth of virgins.
18 Ou pa pou kite yon majisyen viv.
You must not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Nenpòt moun ki kouche avèk yon bèt, va asireman mete a lanmò.
Whoever sleeps with a beast must surely be put to death.
20 Sila ki fè sakrifis a nenpòt dye, sof ke SENYÈ a sèl, va detwi nèt.
Whoever sacrifices to any god except to Yahweh must be completely destroyed.
21 Ou pa pou fè mal a yon etranje, ni oprime li, paske se te etranje nou te ye nan peyi Égypte la.
You must not wrong a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 Ou pa pou oprime okenn vèv, ni òfelen.
You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
23 Si ou oprime li, e li kriye ban Mwen, Mwen va anverite tande kri li;
If you afflict them at all, and if they call out to me, I will surely hear their call.
24 epi kòlè Mwen va vin ogmante. Mwen va touye ou avèk nepe, e madanm ou yo va vin vèv, e pitit ou yo va vin san papa.
My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows, and your children will become fatherless.
25 Si ou prete lajan a pèp Mwen an, a malere yo pami nou yo, ou pa pou aji kòm kreditè anvè li. Ou pa pou mande frè enterè.
If you lend money to any of my people among you who are poor, you must not be like a moneylender to him or charge him interest.
26 Si ou janmen pran manto vwazen ou kòm garanti, fòk ou remèt li li avan solèy la kouche,
If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him before the sun goes down,
27 paske se sa sèl ki kouvri li. Se manto pou kò li. Kisa ankò li kab sèvi pou l dòmi? Epi li va rive ke lè li kriye fò, Mwen va tande li, paske Mwen ranpli avèk mizerikòd.
for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? When he calls out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate.
28 Ou pa pou modi Bondye, ni modi yon chèf pèp ou.
You must not blaspheme me, God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 Ou pa pou fè reta avèk ofrann ki sòti nan rekòlt la avèk diven an. Premye ne nan fis ou yo, ou va ban Mwen l.
You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your winepresses. You must give to me the firstborn of your sons.
30 Ou va fè menm bagay la avèk bèf ou yo, ak mouton ou yo. Li va rete avèk manman l pandan sèt jou, e nan uityèm jou a ou va ban Mwen li.
You must also do the same with your oxen and your sheep. For seven days they may remain with their mothers, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.
31 Nou va dèzòm ki sen pou Mwen; konsa, nou p ap manje okenn chè ki chire an mòso nan chan. Nou va jete li bay chen.
You will be people that are set apart for me. So you must not eat any meat that was torn by animals in the field. Instead, you must throw it to the dogs.
