And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 もし盗賊の壞り入るを見てこれを撃て死しむる時はこれがために血をながすに及ばず

And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be struck and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.

3 然ど若日いでてよりならば之がために血をながすべし盗賊は全く償をなすべし若物あらざる時は身をうりてその竊める物を償ふべし

But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.

4 若その竊める物眞に生てその手にあらばその牛驢馬羊たるにかかはらず倍してこれを償ふべし

And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.

5 人もし田圃あるひは葡萄園の物を食はせその家畜をはなちて人の田圃の物を食ふにいたらしむる時は自己の田圃の嘉物と自己の葡萄園の嘉物をもてその償をなすべし

And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.

8 盗者もしあらはれずば家の主人を法官につれゆきて彼がその人の物に手をかけたるや否を見るべし

But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,

9 何の過愆を論ず牛にもあれ驢馬にもあれ羊にもあれ衣服にもあれ又は何の失物にもあれ凡て人の見て是其なりと言ふ者ある時は法官その兩造の言を聽べし而して法官の罪ありとする者これを倍してその對手に償ふべし

according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatever in fact it may be, —the judgement of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.

22 汝凡て寡婦あるひは孤子を惱すべからず

You shall hurt no widow or orphan.

23 汝もし彼等を惱まして彼等われに呼らば我かならずその號呼を聽べし

And if you should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.

And I will be very angry, and will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.

And you shall be holy men to me; and you shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, you shall cast it to the dog.
