2 Mosebok 22
1 Når ein mann stel eit naut eller ein sau, og slagtar eller sel deim, då skal han gjeva fem naut i staden for nautet, og fire sauer for sauen.
“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 Vert tjuven teken, medan han bryt seg inn, og slegen so han døyr, so skal det ikkje reknast for manndråp.
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 Men gjeng det fyre seg etter soli hev runne, so vert det ei dråpssak. Tjuven skal gjeva full bot. Eig han ikkje so mykje, so skal han seljast til bot for det han hev stole.
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 Vert tjuvegodset funne hjå honom, anten det er naut eller asen eller sau, og det endå er livande, so skal han bøta tvo for eitt.
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 Når ein mann beiter bøen eller vingarden sin, og slepper feet sitt utyver, so det gjer skade på annan manns eiga, då skal han gjeva i bot det beste som veks på bøen eller i vingarden hans.
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 Når det kjem upp lauseld og det fatar i eit klungergjerde, og kornskurv eller uskore korn eller heile åkeren brenn upp, då skal den bøta skaden som kveikte elden.
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 Når ein mann hev gjeve grannen sin pengar eller eignaluter til gøymings, og det vert stole utor huset det ligg i, då skal tjuven, so sant han vert funnen, tvibøta det.
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 Men vert ikkje tjuven funnen, so skal huseigaren ganga fram for Gud og vitna at han ikkje hev rett ut handi si etter det som grannen hans åtte.
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 Kvar gong det gjeld ei tjuvesak, anten det er eit naut eller eit asen eller ein sau eller klæde eller eitkvart anna som er burtkome, og so ein segjer: «Her er det!» då skal dei båe ganga fram for Gud, og den som Gud dømer skuldig, skal bøta tvifaldt til den andre.
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 Når ein mann hev sett burt eit asen eller eit naut eller ein sau eller noko anna dyr til grannen sin, og det døyr, eller kjem til skade, eller vert rana vitnelaust,
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 då skal eiden skilja millom deim: han skal kalla Herren til vitne på at han ikkje hev rett ut handi etter det som grannen hans åtte; den eiden skal eigaren taka for god, og hin skal ingi bot leggja.
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 Men vert det stole frå honom, so skal han gjera eigaren like for det.
But if it will have been taken away by theft, he shall repay the damages to the owner.
13 Vert det ihelrive, so skal han syna det fram til prov; skaden skal han ikkje bøta.
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 Når ein mann låner fe av ein annan, og det kjem til skade eller døyr, og eigaren ikkje er med, skal han gjeva full bot,
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 men er eigaren med, so skal han ikkje bøta. Er det ein leigekar, so gjeng det av på løni hans.
But if the owner was present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it had been brought for hired work.
16 Når ein lokkar ei møy som ikkje er trulova, og ligg hjå henne, då skal han gjeva henne festargåvor, og taka henne til kona.
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 Vil ikkje faren lata honom få henne, so skal hin leggja so mange pengar som møyar er vane å få i festargåva.
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 Ei trollkjerring skal du ikkje lata liva.
You shall not permit practitioners of the black arts to live.
19 Kvar den som blandar seg med fe, skal lata livet.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal shall be put to death.
20 Den som ofrar til avgudarne og ikkje til Herren åleine, han skal vera bannstøytt.
Whoever immolates to gods, other than to the Lord, shall be killed.
21 Dei framande skal du ikkje plåga eller fara hardt med; for de var sjølve framande i Egyptarlandet.
You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.
22 Enkjor og farlause skal de aldri vera harde mot.
You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.
23 Er de harde mot deim, og dei ropar til meg, so skal eg visst og sant høyra ropi deira,
If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.
24 og harmen min skal loga upp, og eg skal slå dykk med sverdet, so dykkar konor vert enkjor og borni dykkar farlause.
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 Låner du nokon av folket mitt, den fatige grannen din, pengar, so skal du ikkje fara som ein okrar med honom; de skal ikkje krevja renta av honom.
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 Fær du kjolen åt grannen din i vissa, so lat honom få honom att fyre soleglad.
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 For den er det einaste han hev til å sveipa kring seg; det er det han skal klæda likamen sin med; kva skal han elles liggja i? Og når han ropar til meg, skal eg høyra det; for eg er hjartemild.
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 Gud skal du ikkje hæda, og ein hovding i folket ditt skal du ikkje banna.
You shall not disparage the heavens, and you shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.
29 Du skal ikkje drygja med å gjeva meg av det som fyller løda di, og som dryp frå vinpersa di. Den frumborne sonen din skal du gjeva meg.
You shall not delay in paying your tithes and your first-fruits. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
30 Det same skal du gjera med nauti dine og småfeet ditt; sju dagar skal frumsungen fylgja mor si; den åttande dagen skal du lata meg få honom.
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 Heilage menner skal de vera meg. Kjøt som de finn ihelrivne på marki, skal de ikkje eta; for hundarne skal de kasta det.
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.”
