प्रस्थान 22
1 कुनै मानिसले गोरु वा भेडा चोरेर त्यसलाई मार्यो वा बेच्यो भने त्यसले एउटा गोरुको सट्टा पाँचवटा गोरु र एउटा भेडाको सट्टा चारवटा भेडा देओस् ।
If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.
2 घर फोर्दै गर्दा चोरलाई भेट्टाइयो र त्यसलाई प्रहार गर्दा त्यो मर्यो भने त्यसलाई हिर्काउने हत्याको दोषी हुनेछैन ।
If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.
3 तर त्यसले घर फोर्नुअगि घाम झुल्किसकेको रहेछ भने त्यसलाई मार्ने व्यक्तिलाई हत्याको दोष लाग्नेछ । चोरले नोक्सानी भरिदिनुपर्छ । त्योसँग केही छैन भने त्यसको चोरीको लागि त्यसलाई बेचिनुपर्छ ।
But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
4 चोरिएको पशु अर्थात् चाहे त्यो गोरु होस् वा गधा होस् वा भेडा होस्, त्योसँगै जिउँदै पाइयो भने त्यसले दुई गुणा फिर्ता दिनुपर्छ ।
If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
5 कुनै मानिसले खेत वा दाखबारीमा आफ्ना गाईवस्तु चराउँदा त्यसले बाँधेन र पशु अर्को मानिसको खेतमा चर्न पुग्यो भने त्यसले आफ्नो सबैभन्दा असल खेत वा दाखबारीबाट नोक्सानी तिर्नुपर्छ ।
If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.
6 आगलागी भई काँडामा फैलन पुगी त्यसले अन्नको बिटा वा मकैको बिटा वा खेतलाई भस्म पार्यो भने आगो लगाउनेले क्षतिपूर्ति तिरिदिनुपर्छ ।
If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.
7 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई सुरक्षाको खातिर रुपियाँ-पैसा वा सामान राख्न दिँदा त्यस मानिसको घरबाट त्यो चोरी भयो र चोर फेला पारियो भने चोरले दुई गुणा तिर्नुपर्छ ।
If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.
8 तर चोरलाई फेला पारिएन भने घरको मालिकको छिमेकीको सम्पत्तिमाथि उसकै हात छ या छैन भनी जाँच गर्न त्यो न्यायकर्ताहरूको सामु आउनुपर्छ ।
If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.
9 कुनै पनि विवादको बारेमा अथवा गोरु, गधा, भेडा, लुगाफाटा वा कुनै पनि हराएको वस्तुको विषयमा कसैले “यो मेरो हो” भन्यो भने दुवै पक्षका दाबीलाई न्यायकर्ताहरूको सामु ल्याइनुपर्छ । न्याकर्ताहरूले जसलाई दोषी पाउँछन् त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दुई गुणा तिरोस् ।
In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
10 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई गधा, गोरु, भेडा वा कुनै पशु राख्नलाई दिँदा त्यो मर्यो वा त्यसलाई चोट लाग्यो वा कसैले नदेखीकन त्यसलाई भगाइयो भने
If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
11 आफ्नो छिमेकीको सम्पत्तिमा आफ्नो हात छैन भनी दुवै जनाले परमप्रभुको सामु शपथ खानुपर्छ । सम्पत्तिको मालिकले यसलाई स्वीकार गर्नैपर्छ र अर्कोले क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्नुपर्दैन ।
If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
12 तर त्यसबाट यो चोरी भएको हो भने त्यसले यसको लागि मालिकलाई क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्नुपर्छ ।
But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
13 पशुलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिएको छ भने अर्को मानिसले साक्षीको रूपमा त्यो पशु ल्याओस् । टुक्राटुक्रा पारिएको कारण त्यसले क्षतिपूर्ति दिनुपर्दैन ।
But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
14 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीबाट पशु पैँचो लिँदा मालिकको उपस्थितिविना त्यसलाई चोट लाग्यो वा त्यो मर्यो भने अर्को मानिसले क्षतिपूर्ति दिनैपर्छ ।
If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
15 तर मालिक पनि उपस्थित थियो भने अर्को मानिसले तिर्नुपर्दैन । पशुलाई भाडामा लिइएको थियो भने ज्यालाको लागि लाग्ने रकमले क्षतिपूर्ति तिरिनेछ ।
If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
16 कुनै पुरुषले मगनी नभएकी कन्या केटीलाई फकाएर त्यससित सुत्यो भने त्यसले दुलहीको रकम दिएर त्यसलाई आफ्नी पत्नी बनाउनुपर्छ ।
If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.
17 केटीको बुबाले केटी त्यसलाई दिन पूर्ण रूपमा अस्वीकार गर्यो भने त्यसले कन्या केटीहरूको दुलहीको सम्पत्ति बराबरको रकम तिर्नुपर्छ ।
If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
18 तिमीहरूले टुनामुना गर्नेलाई जीवित नराख्नू ।
Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
19 पशुसित सुत्ने जोसुकै पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।
Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
20 परमप्रभुबाहेक अन्य कुनै देवी-देवतालाई बलिदान चढाउनेलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरिनुपर्छ ।
Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
21 तिमीहरूले परदेशीको बिगार गर्नुहुँदैन वा त्यसलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नुहुँदैन किनकि तिमीहरू पनि मिश्र देशमा परदेशीहरू थियौ ।
Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.
22 विधवा वा अनाथलाई दुर्व्यवहार नगर्नू ।
Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
23 तिनीहरूलाई सतायौ र तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गरे भने म निश्चय नै तिनीहरूको पुकारा सुन्नेछु ।
If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
24 मेरो क्रोध दन्कनेछ र म तिमीहरूलाई तरवारले मार्नेछु । तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू विधवा बन्नेछन्, र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू अनाथ बन्नेछन् ।
And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.
25 मेरा मानिसहरूका बिचमा भएका गरिबहरूलाई तिमीहरूले ऋण दियौ भने तिमीहरू उसको लागि साहुकारजस्ता नहोओ वा त्यसबाट ब्याज असुल नगर ।
If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.
26 तिमीहरूले छिमेकीको खास्टो बन्धकी राख्यौ भने सूर्यास्तअगि नै तिमीहरूले त्यो फिर्ता गरिदिनुपर्छ ।
If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:
27 किनकि त्यसको ओढ्ने त्यही मात्र हो । यो त्यसको शरीरको लागि त्यसको खास्टो हो । योबाहेक त्यो केमा सुत्न सक्छ र? त्यसले मेरो पुकारा गर्दा म सुन्नेछु किनकि म दयालु छु ।
For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.
28 परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा ईश्वर-निन्दा नगर न त तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूको शासकलाई सराप ।
You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
29 तिमीहरूको कटनी वा दाखबारीबाट भेटी चढाउन विलम्ब नगर । तिमीहरूका छोराहरूका जेठोचाहिँ मलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.
30 त्यस्तै गरी तिमीहरूका गोरु र भेडाहरूलाई पनि यसै गर । सात दिनसिम्म तिनीहरू आ-आफ्ना माउसित बस्न सक्छन् तर आठौँ दिनमा चाहिँ तिमीहरूले ती मलाई देओ ।
In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.
31 तिमीहरू मेरा लागि अलग गरिएका जाति हौ । त्यसैले खेतमा पशुद्वारा फहराएको मासु तिमीहरूले नखानू । बरु, त्यो कुकुरहरूलाई फालिदिनू ।
You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
