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, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a 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 the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
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.
If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall 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 property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay 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 causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall 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 fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall 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 delivers to his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall 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.
If the thief isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbour’s goods.
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 matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbour.
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 delivers to his neighbour a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man 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.
the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbour’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 Men si li te vrèman vòlè li, li va peye dedonmajman a mèt li.
But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
13 Si li chire an mòso, kite sa mennen kòm evidans. Li p ap peye dedonmajman pou sa ki chire an moso a.
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which 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 anything of his neighbour’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall 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.
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
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 entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
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 utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Ou pa pou kite yon majisyen viv.
“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Nenpòt moun ki kouche avèk yon bèt, va asireman mete a lanmò.
“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 Sila ki fè sakrifis a nenpòt dye, sof ke SENYÈ a sèl, va detwi nèt.
“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly 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 shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
22 Ou pa pou oprime okenn vèv, ni òfelen.
“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
23 Si ou oprime li, e li kriye ban Mwen, Mwen va anverite tande kri li;
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
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.
and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children 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 with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not 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 neighbour’s garment as collateral, you shall restore 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 skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28 Ou pa pou modi Bondye, ni modi yon chèf pèp ou.
“You shall not blaspheme 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 shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
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 shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it 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 shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
