Eksodosy 22
1 Raha misy olona mangalatra omby, na ondry, na osy, ka mamono azy, na mivarotra azy, dia hanonitra omby dimy ho solon’ ny omby iray izy ary ondry na osy efatra ho solon’ ny ondry na osy iray.
“If anyone will have stolen an ox or a sheep, and if he kills it or sells it, then he will restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
2 Raha azo manamitrano ny mpangalatra ka asiana ho faty, dia tsy hisy valin-drà amin’ izany;
If a thief will have been discovered breaking into a house, or digging under it, and he has received a mortal wound, he who struck him down will not be guilty of blood.
3 fa raha tratry ny masoandro miposaka kosa izy, dia hisy valin-drà ihany amin’ izany; hanonitra tokoa izy; ary raha tsy manana na inona na inona, dia hamidy izy noho ny halatra nataony.
But if he did this when the sun was risen, he has perpetrated a homicide, and he shall die. If he does not have the means to make restitution for the theft, he shall be sold.
4 Raha hita marina velona eo aminy ny halatra na omby, na boriky, na ondry, na osy, dia hanonitra roa heny izy.
If whatever he stole should be found with him, a living thing, either an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, he shall repay double.
5 Raha misy olona mampitondraka amin’ ny voly na tanim-boaloboka, fa alefany handeha ny bibiny, ka homana ny volin’ olona izany biby izany, dia amin’ ny tsara indrindra ao amin’ ny sahany, ary amin’ ny tsara indrindra ao amin’ ny tanim-boalobony, no hanonerany.
If there is any damage to a field or a vineyard, when he has released his cattle to pasture on the land of a stranger, he shall repay the best of what he has in his own field, or in his own vineyard, according to the estimation of the damage.
6 Raha misy afo mirehitra ka mahazo ny tsilo, ka may ny antontam-bary, na ny vary maniry, na ny saha, dia hanonitra tokoa izay nampirehitra ny afo.
If a fire will have been discovered departing from brush, and taking hold in stacks of grain, or in crops standing in the fields, whoever ignited the fire shall repay the damages.
7 Raha misy olona mampitahiry vola na fanaka ny namany, ka angalarin’ ny sasany ao amin’ ny tranon’ ilay olona izany, raha hita ny mpangalatra, dia hanonitra roa heny izy.
If anyone will have entrusted money, or a container, to his friend to keep, and if these have been stolen from the one who received them: if the thief is found, he shall repay double.
8 Fa raha tsy hita kosa ny mpangalatra, dia ho entina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny tompon’ ny trano mba hizahana na naninjitra ny tànany ka naka ny fananan’ ny namany izy, na tsia.
If the thief is unknown, the lord of the house will be brought before the heavens to swear that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor,
9 Ny amin’ ny zavatra ifandirana rehetra, na omby, na boriky, na ondry, na osy, na fitafiana, na zavatra very, izay ataon’ olona ho azy, dia ho entina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny tenin’ izy roa tonta, koa izay helohih’ Andriamanitra dia hanonitra roa heny ho an’ ny namany.
so as to perpetrate any fraud, such as with an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or clothing, nor to do anything that would be able to cause damage. The case of both shall be brought before the heavens. And if they give judgment against him, he shall repay double to his neighbor.
10 Raha misy olona mampitahiry ny namany boriky, na omby, na ondry, na osy, na biby fiompy hafa, ka maty izany, na maratra, na roahina ka tsy misy mahita,
If anyone will have entrusted a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to the keeping of his neighbor, and it will have died, or become disabled, or have been captured by enemies, and no one saw it,
11 dia fianianana amin’ i Jehovah no hitsarana azy roa tonta, hahafantarana na efa naninjitra ny tànany ka naka ny fananan’ ny namany ilay anankiray, na tsia; ary heken’ ny tompony izany, dia tsy hisy onitra.
then there shall be an oath between them, that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor. And the owner shall accept the oath, and he will not be compelled to make restitution.
12 Fa raha nangalarina tany aminy tokoa izany, dia hanonitra ho an’ ny tompon-javatra izy.
But if it will have been taken away by theft, he shall repay the damages to the owner.
13 Raha voaviraviram-biby izany, dia hitondra azy ho vavolombelona izy; tsy hanonitra izay voaviravira izy.
If it has been eaten by a wild beast, let him carry what was killed to him, and then he shall not make restitution.
14 Ary raha misy olona mindran-javatra amin’ ny namany, ka simba na maty izany, nefa tsy mba teo aminy ny tompon-javatra, dia hanonitra tokoa izy.
If anyone borrows from his neighbor any of these things, and it has died or been disabled when the owner was not present, he shall be compelled to make restitution.
15 Fa raha teo aminy ihany ny tompon-javatra, dia tsy hanonitra izy; ary raha zavatra ahofa kosa, dia vitan’ ny hofany izany.
But if the owner was present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it had been brought for hired work.
16 Ary raha misy olona mitaona zazavavy, izay tsy voafofo, ka mandry aminy, dia hanome harena azy izy mba ho vadiny.
If a man has led astray a virgin not yet betrothed, and he has slept with her, he shall pay her dowry and have her as a wife.
17 Fa raha mandà tokoa ny rainy ka tsy manome azy ho vadiny, dia handoa vola ralehilahy araka ny harena fanome zazavavy hampakarina.
If the father of the virgin is not willing to give her, he shall pay money according to manner of a dowry, which virgins are accustomed to receive.
18 Aza velomina ny vehivavy manana ody.
You shall not permit practitioners of the black arts to live.
19 Izay rehetra mandry amin’ ny biby dia hatao maty tokoa.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal shall be put to death.
20 Izay mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra amin’ ny andriamanitra hafa, afa-tsy amin’ i Jehovah ihany, dia ho voaozona.
Whoever immolates to gods, other than to the Lord, shall be killed.
21 Ary aza manao izay sarotra amin’ ny vahiny, na mampahory azy; fa ela mba vahiny tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ihany ianareo.
You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.
22 Aza mampahory ny mpitondratena sy ny kamboty akory ianareo.
You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.
23 Fa raha mampahory azy na amin’ inona na amin’ inona ianao, ka mitaraina amiko izy, dia hihaino ny fitarainany tokoa Aho,
If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.
24 ka hirehitra ny fahatezerako, ary hamono anareo amin’ ny sabatra Aho; dia mba ho mpitondratena ny vadinareo, ary ho kamboty kosa ny zanakareo.
And my fury will be enraged, and I will strike you down with the sword. And your wives will become widows, and your sons will become orphans.
25 Raha mampisambo-bola ny oloko izay malahelo eo aminao ianao, dia tsy ho toy ny mpampanana vola aminy; fa tsy hampandoa zana-bola azy ianao.
If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.
26 Raha maka ny lamban’ ny namanao ho tsatòka ianao, dia hampodinao aminy izany, raha mbola tsy milentika ny masoandro.
If you take a garment from your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him again before the setting of the sun.
27 Fa izany ihany no firakofany sady fitafiany amin’ ny hodiny, ka inona no ho entiny mandry? ary raha mitaraina amiko izy, dia hohenoiko, fa mamindra fo Aho.
For it is all that he has to cover himself, to clothe his body; nor does he have anything else in which to sleep. If he cries out to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
28 Aza miteny ratsy an’ Andriamanitra ianao, na manozona ny mpanapaka ny firenenao.
You shall not disparage the heavens, and you shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.
29 Aza atao ela vao manatitra ny santatry ny vokatrao sy ny fisotronao; ny matoa amin’ ny zanakao-lahy dia omeo Ahy.
You shall not delay in paying your tithes and your first-fruits. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
30 Izao no hataonao amin’ ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao; hafitoana no hitoerany ao amin’ ny reniny; ary amin’ ny andro fahavalo no hanateranao azy ho Ahy.
You shall do likewise with those of the oxen and the sheep. For seven days, let it be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall repay it to me.
31 Ary ho olona masìna ho Ahy ianareo, koa izay hena voaviraviram-biby any an-tsaha dia tsy hohaninareo; fa harianareo ho an’ ny amboa izany.
You shall be holy men for me. The flesh, from which beasts will have tasted, you shall not eat, but you will throw it to the dogs.”
