Exodo 22
1 No agtakaw ti maysa a tao ti maysa a baka wenno karnero ket patayenna wenno ilakona daytoy, ket masapul nga agbayad isuna iti lima a baka para iti maysa a baka, ken uppat a karnero para iti maysa a karnero.
Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
2 No adda mannanakaw a natiliw nga umun-uneg iti maysa a balay, ken no nadangran isuna ket matay, awan ti siasinoman a mapabasol iti pammapatay gapu kenkuana iti dayta a pasamak.
If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
3 Ngem no simmingisingen ti init sakbay nga agtakaw isuna, mapabasolto iti pammapatay ti tao a mangpatay kenkuana. Masapul a bayadan ti mannanakaw ti tinakawna. No awanan isuna, rumbeng ngarud a mailako isuna gapu iti panagtakawna.
But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
4 No ti natakaw nga ayup ket nasarakan a sibibiag iti aywanna, daytoy man ket baka, asno, wenno karnero, masapul nga agbayad isuna iti doble.
If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
5 No paaraben ti maysa a tao dagiti dingwenna iti maysa a taltalon wenno kaubasan ket pabulosanna ti ayupna, ket nagarabda iti taltalon ti sabali a tao, rumbeng nga agbayad isuna manipud kadagiti kasasayaatan iti bukodna a taltalon ken manipud kadagiti kasasayaatan iti bukodna a kaubasan.
If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
6 No adda puor ket agkayamkam kadagiti sisiit ket mauram dagiti penpen a dawa, wenno dagiti saan pay a naapit a trigo, wenno ti taltalon, rumbeng nga agbayad ti nangirugi iti puor.
Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
7 No ipadulin ti maysa a tao iti kaarrubana dagiti kuartana wenno dagiti banbanag a kukuana, ket no matakaw daytoy manipud iti balay ti dayta a kaarrubana, no natiliw ti mannanakaw, rumbeng a doble ti ibayad dayta a mannanakaw.
Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
8 Ngem no saan a natiliw ti mannanakaw, rumbeng a mapan ti akinbalay kadagiti ukom tapno makita no kinamkamna ti sanikua ti kaarrubana.
But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
9 Ta iti tunggal riri maipanggep iti maysa a banag, daytoy man ket baka, asno, karnero, badbadu, wenno uray ania a banag a mapukpukaw nga ibaga ti maysa a, “Kukuak daytoy,” masapul a dumanon kadagiti ukom ti ibagbaga dagiti maseknan a kukuada. Masapul a doble ti ibayad ti tao a maduktalan dagiti ukom a nakabasol iti kaarubana.
If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
10 No ipaaywan ti maysa a tao iti kaarrubana ti asnona, bakana, karnerona, wenno aniaman nga ayup, ket no daytoy ket matay wenno madangran wenno natakaw nga awan ti nakakita,
Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
11 rumbeng nga agsapatada a dua kenni Yahweh, no adda wenno awan ti nangkamkam iti sanikua ti kaarrubana. Masapul nga awaten ti akinkukua daytoy, ket saanto nga agbayad ti nangipaaywananna.
Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
12 Ngem no natakaw daytoy manipud kenkuana, masapul nga agbayad isuna iti akinkukua para iti daytoy.
But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
13 No narangrangkay ti ayup, masapul nga iyeg dayta a tao ti ayup a kas pammaneknek. Saannanto a masapul a bayadan ti narangrangkay nga ayup.
If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
14 No bumulod ti maysa a tao ti aniaman nga ayup manipud iti kaarrubana ket madangran ti ayup wenno matay nga awan idiay ti akinkukua, ti tao a nangbulod ket masapul nga agbayad.
If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
15 Ngem no adda idiay ti akinkukua, saan a masapul nga agbayad ti nangbulod; no naabangan ti ayup, mabayadanto daytoy babaen iti bayad ti abangna.
But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
16 No sulisogen ti maysa a lalaki ti maysa a birhen a saan pay a naituding a maiyasawa, ken no nakikaidda isuna kenkuana, awan duadua a masapul nga asawaenna ti babai babaen iti panangbayadna iti sab-ong para iti nobia.
“If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
17 Ngem no naan-anay a nagkedked ti ama a mangited iti anakna kenkuana, rumbeng nga agbayad isuna iti sab-ong a naituding a gatad kadagiti birhen a nobia.
But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
18 Rumbeng a saanyo a palubosan nga agbiag dagiti manggagamud.
You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
19 Siasinoman a makikaidda kadagiti ayup ket awan duadua a masapul a mapapatay.
You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
20 Rumbeng a naan-anay a madadael ti siasinoman nga agidaton kadagiti aniaman a didiosen malaksid kenni Yahweh.
You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
21 Rumbeng a diyo ranggasan ti ganggannaet wenno irurumen isuna, ta nagbalinkayo met a ganggannaet idiay daga ti Egipto.
You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
22 Masapul a diyo idadanes ti siasinoman a balo wenno awanan-ama nga ubing.
You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
23 No parigatenyo ida iti aniaman a wagas, ket no immawagda kaniak, a ni Yahweh, awan duadua a denggek dagiti awagda.
If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
24 Sumgedto ti pungtotko, ket papatayenkayonto babaen iti kampilan; agbalinto a balo dagiti assawayo a babbai ken agbalinto nga awanan-ama dagiti annakyo.
And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
25 No agpabulodkayo iti kuarta iti siasinoman kadagiti tattaok kadakayo a nakurapay, rumbeng a saankayo nga agbalin a kas ti agpapautang kenkuana wenno saanyo a paanakan ti impautangyo.
If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and require him to pay interest on the money.
26 No alaenyo ti kawes iti kaarrubayo a kas pammatalgedyo, masapul nga isubliyo daytoy kenkuana sakbay a lumnek ti init,
If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
27 ta dayta laeng ti pangkalubna; daytoy ket kawesna para iti bagina. Ania pay ngarud ti mabalinna a pagturogan? Inton umawag isuna kaniak, denggekto isuna, agsipud ta manangngaasi-ak.
because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
28 Didak tabtabbaawan, a Dios, wenno ilunod ti mangiturturay kadagiti tattaoyo.
Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
29 Masapul a saanyo nga ipaidam dagiti datonyo manipud kadagiti apityo wenno ti pagpespesan ti ubasyo. Masapul nga idatonyo kaniak ti inauna nga anakyo a lalaki.
(Do not withhold from/Give) me the best parts of the grain that you harvest and of the olive oil and the wine that you produce.
30 Masapul nga aramidenyo met laeng daytoy kadagiti baka wenno karneroyo. Iti pito nga aldaw ket agtalinaedda kadagiti inada, ngem iti maikawalo nga aldaw, masapul nga idatonyo ida kaniak.
You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
31 Agbalinkayonto a tattao a nailasin para kaniak. Isu a masapul a saankayo a mangan iti aniaman a karne a rinangrangkay dagiti ayup idiay taltalon. Ngem ketdi, masapul nga ipuruakyo dagitoy kadagiti aso.
You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
