Ọpụpụ 22
1 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ezuru ehi maọbụ atụrụ gbuo ya, maọbụ ree ya, ọ ga-akwụghachi ehi ise nʼọnọdụ ehi ahụ. Nʼọnọdụ otu atụrụ o zuuru, ọ ga-akwụghachi atụrụ anọ.
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 “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi mgbe ọ na-egbuka ụlọ onye ọzọ, ọ bụrụkwa na e tigbuo ya, mee ka ọ nwụọ, iwu ejideghị onye ahụ gburu ya.
If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
3 Kama ọ bụrụ na e tigburu onye ahụ mgbe chi bọcharala, ọmụma ikpe ga-adịrị onye ahụ tigburu ya. “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi, a ga-eme ka ọ kwụghachi ihe o zuru nʼohi. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ike kwụghachi, a ga-ere ya dịka ohu, jiri ego e retara kwụọ ụgwọ o ji.
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 Ọ bụrụ na a chọta ihe o zuru nʼaka ya, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, ọ ga-akwụghachi ọnụahịa ya okpukpu abụọ.
if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
5 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ akpachara anya hapụ anụ ụlọ ya ka ọ gaa taa nri nʼubi maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ nʼubi onye ọzọ, onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ihe niile anụ ụlọ ya mebiri, ma ihe ọ ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ahụ aghaghị ịbụ ihe ọrụ ubi dị mma nke o si nʼubi ya maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị ya wepụta.
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 “Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ na-agba banye nʼogwu, repịa ogbo ọka dị nʼubi mmadụ maọbụ ọka guzoro eguzo, ma ọ bụkwanụ ọhịa niile, onye ahụ tinyere ọkụ ahụ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe ahụ niile nke ọkụ repịara.
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 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enye enyi ya maọbụ onye agbataobi ya ego, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ka o debere ya, ma onye ohi agaa zuru ya site nʼụlọ ya, a si na e jide onye ohi dị otu a, ọ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe o zuru okpukpu abụọ.
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 Ọ bụrụ na a chọpụtaghị onye ohi ahụ, onye nwe ụlọ ahụ aghaghị ịbịa nʼihu Chineke, ka a chọpụta maọbụ ya nʼonwe ya setịpụrụ aka were ihe ahụ, bụ akụ nke onye ọzọ kpatara.
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 Ọ bụrụ na onye ehi ya, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, maọbụ atụrụ ya, maọbụ uwe, maọbụ ihe ọbụla furu efu, nke mmadụ na-asị, ‘Nke a bụ ya.’ Mmadụ abụọ ndị a ga-aga nʼihu ndị ikpe. Onye ọbụla ndị ikpe a mara ikpe ga-akwụghachi ibe ya ụgwọ okpukpu abụọ.
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 “Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ mmadụ nyere onye agbataobi ya nʼaka idebe anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ, maọbụ gbafuo, ma anụ ụlọ ahụ ọ bụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ anụ ụlọ ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị onye hụrụ mgbe ihe ndị a dakwasịrị anụ ụlọ ahụ,
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 mgbe ahụ, onye agbataobi ahụ e nyere anụ ndị a nʼaka idebe ga-aṅụ iyi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Iyi ahụ ọ ṅụrụ ga-egosi onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ na o zughị ya nʼohi. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụghachi ụgwọ ọbụla.
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 Ma ọ bụrụ na o zuru anụ ụlọ ahụ nʼohi site na nke agbataobi ya, ọ ghaghị ịkwụghachi ụgwọ niile nye onyenwe ya.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
13 Ọ bụrụ na anụ ọhịa gburu ya, ọ ga-eweta ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ a dọgburu adọgbu, iji gosi na anụ ọhịa dọgburu ya. Ọ ga-esikwa otu a gbanarị ikpe ọmụma. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụkwa ụgwọ ọbụla nʼihi anụ ụlọ ahụ.
if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
14 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaziri anụ ụlọ site nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ mgbe onyenwe ya na-anọghị nʼebe ahụ, onye ahụ a gbazinyere anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya.
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 Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ nọ na nke onyenwe ya, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụ ụgwọ ọbụla. Ọ bụrụ na a kwụrụ ego mgbazi ọbụla nʼisi anụmanụ a, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụghachi ego ọbụla, nʼihi na ego mgbazi ọ kwuru ka a ga-ewere dịka ụgwọ.
if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
16 “Ọ bụrụ na nwoke arafuo nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, site nʼime ka ha abụọ dinaa, nwoke ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ ga-alụkwa ya dịka nwunye ya.
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 Ọ bụrụ na nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ ekwenyeghị ka nwoke ahụ lụọ ya, nwoke ahụ aghaghị ịkwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ.
if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 “E kwesighị ịhapụ nwanyị mgbaasị ndụ.
You do not keep a witch alive.
19 “Onye ọbụla ya na anụ ọbụla dinakọrọ, e kwesiri ime ka ọ nwụọ.
Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 “Onye ọbụla chụrụ aja nye chi ọzọ ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị, a ga-eme ka ọ nwụọ.
He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
21 “Ọ kwesighị ka mmadụ ọbụla mesie onye ọbịa ihe ike nʼụzọ ọbụla. Unu aghaghị icheta na unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼala Ijipt.
And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22 “Unu emegbula nwanyị ọbụla di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ onye ọbụla na-enweghị nne na nna.
You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
23 Unu megbuo ha, mee ka ha tikuo m, aga m anụ mkpu akwa ha, nyere ha aka.
if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
24 Mgbe ahụ, iwe m dị oke ọkụ ga-eripịa unu. Aga m ejikwa mma agha tigbuo unu. Ndị nwunye unu ga-aghọkwa ndị inyom na-enweghị di, ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị na-enweghị nna.
and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 “Ọ bụrụ na ị gbazinyere onye Hibru ego, onye bụ nwa mgbei, ị gaghị anara ya ọmụrụnwa.
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 Ọ bụrụ na ị nara ya uwe ya nʼihi ego ahụ ị gbazinyere ya, ekwela ka uwe ahụ nọgide nʼaka gị ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
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 Nʼihi na uwe ahụ nwere ike bụrụ naanị ihe o nwere, maọbụ uwe ọ ga-eji rahụ ụra. Ọ bụrụ na i zighachighị ya, o tikuo m site nʼịkwa akwa, aga m anụrụ mkpu akwa ya, nʼihi na abụ m onye obi ebere.
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 “Ekwulula aha Chineke, abụkwala onye na-achị ndị gị ọnụ.
You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
29 “Atụfukwala oge ọbụla nʼịkwụghachi onyinye unu kwesiri inye. Maọbụ nke mkpụrụ ala ubi gị, na nke mmanya vaịnị gị, na ụgwọ i kwesiri ịkwụ. “Ị ghaghị inye m nwa gị nwoke e buru ụzọ mụọ.
You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
30 Otu a ka ị ga-emekwa banyere mkpụrụ mbụ nke ehi gị na atụrụ gị. Ị ga-ewebata ya nye m nʼụbọchị nke asatọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ha, mgbe ị hapụsịrị ha nne ha ụbọchị asaa.
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 “Unu ga na-abụrụ m ndị dị nsọ. Nʼihi nke a, wezuganụ onwe unu nʼebe anụ a dọgburu adọgbu dị. Unu erikwala anụ dị otu a, kama tụpụrụnụ ya nkịta.
And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
