1 Mago ne'mo'ma ru vahe'mofo bulimakao afuro sipisipi afu'ma kumazafa aheno tragahuge, kumazafa seno zagore ome atrege'ma hu'nenimo'a, mago bulimakao afu'ma kumzafa asenenirera venafona 5fu'a bulimakao nona huno mizasenteno. Mago sipisipi afu'ma kumzafa asenesirera 4'a sipisipi afu venafona nona huno mizasentegahie.

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 Hagi mago kumzafa ne'mo noma anafe huno ufreno kumzafa nesena, ageno erifore huno ahe frisiana, anama ahe frisia ne'mofo korankumimo'a agritera omanegahie.

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 Hianagi ko'ma zagema hanati'noma masama hu'nesifima kumzafa nesena nomofo venafo'ma keno erifore huno'ma ahe frisiana, agritera ana ne'mofo korankumi'mo'a megahie. Hagi kumzafama nesenigeno keno eriforema haniana ana mika zama kumzafa se'nenia zantera mizaseno. Hagi ana zante'ma temaosinigeno'a, ana kumzafa nera zagore atre'za ana zagoa eri'za kumzafama eri'nea zamofo nona'a mizaseho.

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 Mago ne'mo'ma rumofo bulimakao afuro, sipsipi afuro, donki afuro kumzafaseno ome ante'nenkeno keno erifore'ma hina, anama kumzafa se'nenia ne'mo'a ana nona'a ante tragoteno kumzafama ase'nenia zaga venafona amino.

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 Mago ne'mofo sipsipi'amo'o bulimakao'ama atrenkeno trazama neno vano haniregama rumofo kaziga traza omenege, waini hozafi vuno waini hoza ome eri haviza haniana, ana bulimakao afu'mofo nafa'amo'a, knare hoza'areti'ene knare waini'areti'ene anama hoza'ama eri haviza hu'nea nera nona'a amino.

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 Hagi mago'mo'ma hoza'afima trazama negresigeno tevemo'ma terakaheno rumofo witi hoza vasage ante'nenia witima tena, tevema hugre'nenimo'a ana zantmintera nona'a huno mizasenteno.

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 Mago ne'mo'ma tavaoma'are nemanisimofoma zago'afi fenoma'ama, kegava huntenogu ami'nesigeno kegava hunte'nesigeno, kumzafa ne'mo'ma anazama noma'afinti musufama se'nenia ne'ma ke'za erifore hanageno'a ana kumazafa ne'mo'a ante tragoteno miza seno.

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 Hanki kumzafa ne'ma keno erifore'ma osina, nomofo nefa'a keaga refkohu kva vahe'tmimofo avuga eno eri'neo e'o'rineo eme huama hugahie.

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 Hagi mago'mo'ma bulimakao afuro, donki afuro, sipsipi afuro, kukeno, mago'a zantmima fanane hu'nenia zantmima tavaoma'are nemanisimo'ma ante'nenkeno, ama nagri suzane huno'ma ome hanige'noma antahima omisigeno'a keaga refkohu kva vahete e'nakeno keaga refkohu kva vahe'mo'ma, kagra havi kavukava hu'nanema hanimo'a ante tragoteno mizaseno.

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 Mago ne'mo'ma tava'oma'are'ma nemanisimo'ma donki afuro, bulimaka afuro, sipsipi afuro, mago'a zagagafama kegava huntenogu'ma ami'nesia zagamo'ma frige, hazenke erige, vahe'mo'ma onkesigeno avreno frege'ma haniana,

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 ana zagarmima kegava hu'nesnia ne'ene ana zagaramimofo venafokea Ra Anumzamofo avuga vanakeno kegavama hu'nemo'a huvempa huno, tamage hu'na nagra onke'noe hanigeno'a, venafo'ma mago rimpama hanigeno'a ana zagaramintera miza osegahie.

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 Hianagi tamagema huno musufama se'nesageno'a, fenozama'ama kegava hu'nesimo venafona mizasenteno.

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 Hanki afi zagamo'ma aheno'ma neneno, avufga'ama ani kafritre'neniama'a erino, ana zagamofo venafoma ome averi'nuno'a ana zagarera miza osegahie.

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 Hanki mago ne'mo'ma, tava'oma'are'ma nemanisimofo zagagafama avreno eme kegava hu'nenkeno'ma, ana zagagafamofo venafo'ma omani'nensire'ma avufgare hazenkema erige frige'ma hinkeno'a, ana zagama avreno kegava hu'ne'nia ne'mo'a nona huno venafona mizasenteno.

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 Hanki ana zagamofo venafo'ma mani'neno negenkeno, eri'za e'nerino hazenkema erinkeno'a, miza osegahie. Eri'zama erinogu'ma zagoma amino avre'neniana, e'i ana zagomo aza hugahie.

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 Mago'ma vene ovase'nesia mofa'ma mago ne'mo'ma avreno ome anteno vase'nena afufeno huno mizasenkeno ana mofamo'a agri a' manino.

“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 Hanki ana mofa'mofo nefa'ma, ana vere omanigahiema hinkeno'a, ana ne'mo'a afufenoma nehaza avamente afufenona huno ana mofa'mofo nefana amigahie.

27 Na'ankure agra magoke nakreku ante'neankino, kenagera e'i ana anakre ku kofino zasi korora vasegahie. Hagi ko'ma eme ominankeno'ma Nagritegama kezatina, Nagra nasunku Anumzanki'na nentahi'na eme aza hugahue.

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 Nagrira huhaviza hunantege, kva vahetamia huhaviza huntegera osiho.
