Exodus 22
1 si quis furatus fuerit bovem aut ovem et occiderit vel vendiderit quinque boves pro uno bove restituet et quattuor oves pro una ove
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit percussor non erit reus sanguinis
If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
3 quod si orto sole hoc fecerit homicidium perpetravit et ipse morietur si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat venundabitur
If the sun shall have risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him: [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est vivens sive bos sive asinus sive ovis duplum restituet
If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5 si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena quicquid optimum habuerit in agro suo vel in vinea pro damni aestimatione restituet
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.
6 si egressus ignis invenerit spinas et conprehenderit acervos frugum sive stantes segetes in agris reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit
If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field shall be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam aut vas in custodiam et ab eo qui susceperat furto ablata fuerint si invenitur fur duplum reddet
If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double.
8 si latet dominus domus adplicabitur ad deos et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui
If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, [to see] whether he hath put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
9 ad perpetrandam fraudem tam in bove quam in asino et ove ac vestimento et quicquid damnum inferre potest ad deos utriusque causa perveniet et si illi iudicaverint duplum restituet proximo suo
For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing which [another] challengeth to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbor.
10 si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum bovem ovem et omne iumentum ad custodiam et mortuum fuerit aut debilitatum vel captum ab hostibus nullusque hoc viderit
If a man shall deliver to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing [it]:
11 iusiurandum erit in medio quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui suscipietque dominus iuramentum et ille reddere non cogetur
[Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 quod si furto ablatum fuerit restituet damnum domino
And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
13 si comestum a bestia deferet ad eum quod occisum est et non restituet
If it shall be torn in pieces; [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
14 qui a proximo suo quicquam horum mutuo postularit et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente reddere conpelletur
And if a man shall borrow [aught] of his neighbor, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.
15 quod si inpraesentiarum fuit dominus non restituet maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui
[But] if the owner of it shall [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] a hired [thing], it came for his hire.
16 si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam et dormierit cum ea dotabit eam et habebit uxorem
And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17 si pater virginis dare noluerit reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis quam virgines accipere consuerunt
If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower of virgins.
18 maleficos non patieris vivere
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 qui coierit cum iumento morte moriatur
Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 qui immolat diis occidetur praeter Domino soli
He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 advenam non contristabis neque adfliges eum advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in terra Aegypti
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 viduae et pupillo non nocebitis
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 si laeseritis eos vociferabuntur ad me et ego audiam clamorem eorum
If thou shalt afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry:
24 et indignabitur furor meus percutiamque vos gladio et erunt uxores vestrae viduae et filii vestri pupilli
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum non urgues eum quasi exactor nec usuris opprimes
If thou shalt lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
26 si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum ante solis occasum redde ei
If thou shalt at all take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
27 ipsum enim est solum quo operitur indumentum carnis eius nec habet aliud in quo dormiat si clamaverit ad me exaudiam eum quia misericors sum
For that [is] his only covering, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.
28 diis non detrahes et principi populi tui non maledices
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
29 decimas tuas et primitias non tardabis offerre primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi
Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give to me.
30 de bubus quoque et ovibus similiter facies septem diebus sit cum matre sua die octavo reddes illum mihi
Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
31 viri sancti eritis mihi carnem quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata non comedetis sed proicietis canibus
And ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
