出エジプト記 22
1 人もし牛あるひは羊を竊みてこれを殺し又は賣る時は五の牛をもて一の牛を賠ひ四の羊をもて一の羊を賠ふべし
When a man stealeth an ox or a sheep, and slayeth it, or selleth it, with five of the herd, shall he make good—for the ox, or with four of the flock, for the 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
If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood:
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
should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him, —he is surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.
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
If the thing stolen is found in his hand—whether ox or ass or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
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
When a man causeth a field or a vineyard to be depastured, or hath sent in his own cattle and stripped the field of another, he shall, surely make restitution, out of his own field, according to the yield thereof; or if, all the field, he depasture, with the best of his own field, or with the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6 火もし逸て荊棘にうつりその積あげたる穀物あるひは未だ刈ざる穀物あるひは田野を燬ばその火を焚たる者かならずこれを償ふべし
When a fire breaketh out and hath come upon thorns and so there is consumed a stack of sheaves, or the standing corn, or the field, he that kindled the fire, shall surely make restitution.
7 人もし金あるひは物を人に預るにその人の家より竊みとられたる時はその盗者あらはれなばこれを倍して償はしむべし
When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:
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
if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution double, if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God to swear that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour.
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
For any affair of trespass—for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle for anything lost as to which one could say—This is it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both, —he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double to his neighbour.
10 人もし驢馬か牛か羊か又はその他の家畜をその隣人にあづけんに死か傷けらるるか又は搶ひさらるることありて誰もこれを見し者なき時は
When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, —and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,
11 二人の間にその隣人の物に手をかけずとヱホバを指て誓ふことあるべし然る時はその持主これを承諾べし彼人は償をなすに及ばず
the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour, —then shall the owner thereof accept it and he shall not make restitution.
12 然ど若自己の許より竊まれたる時はその所有主にこれを償ふべし
But, if it be verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
13 若またその裂ころされし時は其を證據のために持きたるべしその裂ころされし者は償ふにおよばず
If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness—for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.
14 人もしその隣人より借たる者あらんにその物傷けられ又は死ることありてその所有主それとともにをらざる時は必ずこれを償ふべし
And when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.
15 その所有主それと共にをらばこれを償ふにむよばず雇し者なる時もしかり其は雇れて來りしなればなり
If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, —if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
16 人もし聘定あらざる處女を誘ひてこれと寝たらば必ずこれに聘禮して妻となすべし
And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase-price, that she may be his wife.
17 その父もしこれをその人に與ふることを固く拒まば處女にする聘禮にてらして金をはらふべし
If her father utterly refuse, to give her to him, silver, shall he weigh out, according to the purchase-price of virgins.
18 魔術をつかふ女を生しおくべからず
A sorceress, shalt thou not suffer to live.
19 凡て畜を犯す者をば必ず殺すべし
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 ヱホバをおきて別の神に犠牲を献る者をば殺すべし
He that sacrificeth to the gods shall be devoted to destruction, —except [he sacrificeth] to Yahweh alone.
21 汝他國の人を惱すべからず又これを虐ぐべからず汝らもエジプトの國にをる時は他國の人たりしなり
And, a sojourner, shalt thou not tread down neither shalt thou drive him away, —for sojourners, ye became in the land of Egypt.
22 汝凡て寡婦あるひは孤子を惱すべからず
Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:
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
if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:
24 わが怒烈しくなり我劍をもて汝らを殺さん汝らの妻は寡婦となり汝らの子女は孤子とならん
so shall kindle mine anger, and I will slay you with the sword, —and your wives, shall become widows, and your, sons fatherless.
25 汝もし汝とともにあるわが民の貧き者に金を貸す時は金貸のごとくなすべからず又これより利足をとるべからず
If, silver, thou wilt lend unto my people—unto the humbled one by thee, thou shalt not be to him like one that lendeth on interest, —thou shalt not lay upon him interest.
26 汝もし人の衣服を質にとらば日のいる時までにこれを歸すべし
If thou, do take in pledge, the mantle of thy neighbour, by the going in of the sun, shalt thou restore it to him;
27 其はその身を蔽ふ者は是のみにして是はその膚の衣なればなり彼何の中に寝んや彼われに龥はらば我きかん我は慈悲ある者なればなり
for that is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin, —wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear because, gracious, I am.
28 汝神を罵るべからず民の主長を詛ふべからず
God, shalt thou not revile, —and a prince among thy people, shalt thou not curse.
29 汝の豊滿なる物と汝の搾りたる物とを献ぐることを怠るなかれ汝の長子を我に與ふべし
Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay, —the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.
30 汝また汝の牛と羊をも斯なすべし即ち七日母とともにをらしめて八日にこれを我に與ふべし
Thus, shalt thou do with thine ox with thy sheep, —seven days, shall it be with its dam, on the eighth day, shalt thou give it to me.
31 汝等は我の聖民となるべし汝らは野にて獣に裂れし者の肉を食ふべからず汝らこれを犬に投與ふべし
Holy men, therefore shall ye truly become to me, —and flesh in the field torn to pieces, shall ye not eat, to the dogs, shall ye cast it.
