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 ।
“Anyone who steals an ox or a sheep and kills or sells it, he must pay back five oxen for one ox and four sheep for one sheep.
2 घर फोर्दै गर्दा चोरलाई भेट्टाइयो र त्यसलाई प्रहार गर्दा त्यो मर्यो भने त्यसलाई हिर्काउने हत्याको दोषी हुनेछैन ।
If a thief is discovered breaking into someone's house and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of murder.
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 happens during daylight, then someone is guilty of murder. A thief must pay everything back that's stolen. If he doesn't have anything, then he must be sold to pay for what was stolen.
4 चोरिएको पशु अर्थात् चाहे त्यो गोरु होस् वा गधा होस् वा भेडा होस्, त्योसँगै जिउँदै पाइयो भने त्यसले दुई गुणा फिर्ता दिनुपर्छ ।
If what was stolen is a live animal he still has, whether it's an ox, donkey, or sheep, he must pay back double.
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 livestock are grazing in a field or vineyard and their owner lets them stray so that they graze in someone else's field, the owner must pay compensation from the best of their own fields or vineyards.
6 आगलागी भई काँडामा फैलन पुगी त्यसले अन्नको बिटा वा मकैको बिटा वा खेतलाई भस्म पार्यो भने आगो लगाउनेले क्षतिपूर्ति तिरिदिनुपर्छ ।
If a fire is started and it spreads to thorn bushes and then burns stacked or standing grain, or even the whole field, the person who started the fire must pay full compensation.
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 someone gives his neighbor money or possessions to be kept safe and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, if the thief is caught they must pay back double.
8 तर चोरलाई फेला पारिएन भने घरको मालिकको छिमेकीको सम्पत्तिमाथि उसकै हात छ या छैन भनी जाँच गर्न त्यो न्यायकर्ताहरूको सामु आउनुपर्छ ।
If the thief isn't caught the owner of the house must appear before the judges to find out whether he took his neighbor's property.
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 ।
If there's an argument over the ownership of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything that was lost that someone says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their case before the judges. The one whom the judges find in the wrong must pay the other back double.
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 someone asks a neighbor to look after a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal, but it dies or is injured or is stolen without anybody noticing,
11 आफ्नो छिमेकीको सम्पत्तिमा आफ्नो हात छैन भनी दुवै जनाले परमप्रभुको सामु शपथ खानुपर्छ । सम्पत्तिको मालिकले यसलाई स्वीकार गर्नैपर्छ र अर्कोले क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्नुपर्दैन ।
then an oath must be taken before the Lord to decide if the neighbor has taken the owner's property. The owner must accept the oath and not demand compensation.
12 तर त्यसबाट यो चोरी भएको हो भने त्यसले यसको लागि मालिकलाई क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्नुपर्छ ।
However, if the animal really was stolen from the neighbor, he must compensate the owner.
13 पशुलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिएको छ भने अर्को मानिसले साक्षीको रूपमा त्यो पशु ल्याओस् । टुक्राटुक्रा पारिएको कारण त्यसले क्षतिपूर्ति दिनुपर्दैन ।
If it was killed and torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall present the carcass as evidence and does not need to pay compensation.
14 कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीबाट पशु पैँचो लिँदा मालिकको उपस्थितिविना त्यसलाई चोट लाग्यो वा त्यो मर्यो भने अर्को मानिसले क्षतिपूर्ति दिनैपर्छ ।
If someone borrows a neighbor's animal and it's injured or dies while its owner is not present, they must pay compensation in full.
15 तर मालिक पनि उपस्थित थियो भने अर्को मानिसले तिर्नुपर्दैन । पशुलाई भाडामा लिइएको थियो भने ज्यालाको लागि लाग्ने रकमले क्षतिपूर्ति तिरिनेछ ।
If the owner was present, no compensation is to be paid. If the animal was hired, only the hire charge needs to be paid.
16 कुनै पुरुषले मगनी नभएकी कन्या केटीलाई फकाएर त्यससित सुत्यो भने त्यसले दुलहीको रकम दिएर त्यसलाई आफ्नी पत्नी बनाउनुपर्छ ।
If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the full bride-price for her to become his wife.
17 केटीको बुबाले केटी त्यसलाई दिन पूर्ण रूपमा अस्वीकार गर्यो भने त्यसले कन्या केटीहरूको दुलहीको सम्पत्ति बराबरको रकम तिर्नुपर्छ ।
If her father adamantly refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay the same amount as the bride-price for a virgin.
18 तिमीहरूले टुनामुना गर्नेलाई जीवित नराख्नू ।
You must not allow a woman who practices witchcraft to live.
19 पशुसित सुत्ने जोसुकै पनि मारिनैपर्छ ।
Anyone who has sex with an animal must be executed.
20 परमप्रभुबाहेक अन्य कुनै देवी-देवतालाई बलिदान चढाउनेलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरिनुपर्छ ।
Anyone who sacrifices to any other god than the Lord must be set apart and executed.
21 तिमीहरूले परदेशीको बिगार गर्नुहुँदैन वा त्यसलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नुहुँदैन किनकि तिमीहरू पनि मिश्र देशमा परदेशीहरू थियौ ।
You must not exploit or mistreat a foreigner. Remember that you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.
22 विधवा वा अनाथलाई दुर्व्यवहार नगर्नू ।
You must not take advantage of any widow or orphan.
23 तिनीहरूलाई सतायौ र तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गरे भने म निश्चय नै तिनीहरूको पुकारा सुन्नेछु ।
If you mistreat them, and they call out to me for help, I will definitely respond to their cry.
24 मेरो क्रोध दन्कनेछ र म तिमीहरूलाई तरवारले मार्नेछु । तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू विधवा बन्नेछन्, र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू अनाथ बन्नेछन् ।
I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword. Your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
25 मेरा मानिसहरूका बिचमा भएका गरिबहरूलाई तिमीहरूले ऋण दियौ भने तिमीहरू उसको लागि साहुकारजस्ता नहोओ वा त्यसबाट ब्याज असुल नगर ।
If you lend money to any of my people because they're poor, you must not behave as a moneylender to them. You must not charge them any interest.
26 तिमीहरूले छिमेकीको खास्टो बन्धकी राख्यौ भने सूर्यास्तअगि नै तिमीहरूले त्यो फिर्ता गरिदिनुपर्छ ।
If you require your neighbor's cloak as security for a loan, you must return it to him by sunset,
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 ।
because it's the only clothing he has for his body. What would he sleep in otherwise? If he calls out to me for help, I will listen, for I am considerate.
28 परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा ईश्वर-निन्दा नगर न त तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूको शासकलाई सराप ।
You must not despise God or curse your people's leader.
29 तिमीहरूको कटनी वा दाखबारीबाट भेटी चढाउन विलम्ब नगर । तिमीहरूका छोराहरूका जेठोचाहिँ मलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
You must not hold onto the required offerings of your produce, olive oil, and wine. You must give me the firstborn of your sons.
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 ।
You must also give me the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats. They can stay with their mothers for their first seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day.
31 तिमीहरू मेरा लागि अलग गरिएका जाति हौ । त्यसैले खेतमा पशुद्वारा फहराएको मासु तिमीहरूले नखानू । बरु, त्यो कुकुरहरूलाई फालिदिनू ।
You are to be holy people to me. You must not eat any animal carcass that you find in the countryside that has been killed by wild animals. Throw it to the dogs to eat.”
