Baʼuu 22
1 “Namni tokko yoo sangaa yookaan hoolaa hatee qalate yookaan gurgurate, qooda qotiyyoo tokkoo sangaa shan, qooda hoolaa tokkoo immoo hoolaa afur haa baasu.
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 “Hattuun tokko utuu cabsee seenuu yoo qabamee tumamee kanumaan duʼe, namichi isa ajjeese sun dhiiga isaatti yakkaan hin gaafatamu;
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 garuu yoo wanni kun erga aduun baatee taʼe, namichi dhiiga sanatti yakkaan ni gaafatama. “Hattuun waan hate haa deebisu; homaa hin qabu yoo taʼe garuu hanna isaatiif gatii baasuudhaaf haa gurguramu.
But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
4 Horiin hatame sun sangaa yookaan harree yookaan hoolaa taanaan yoo utuu lubbuun jiruu harka isaatti argame hattuun sun dachaa baasuu qaba.
If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
5 “Namni tokko yoo utuu lafa qotiisaa yookaan dhaabaa wayinii keessa horii tikfatuu horii isaa gad lakkisee horiin sun dhaqee kaloo nama biraa dheede, inni lafa qotiisaa ofii isaa irraa yookaan dhaabaa wayinii ofii isaa irraa kan waan hunda caalu iddoo haa buusuuf.
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 “Yoo ibiddi kaʼee daggala seenee akkasiin midhaan tuulame yookaan midhaan dhaabatu yookaan lafa qotiisaa gube, namichi ibidda qabsiise sun gatii baasuu qaba.
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 “Namni tokko yoo maallaqa yookaan miʼa imaanaa namatti kennatee, wanni sun mana namichaatii hatamee hattuun sun qabame, hattichi dachaa kaffaluu qaba.
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 Yoo hattuun sun hin argamin garuu abbaan mana sanaa akka miʼa nama kaanii tuqee fi akka hin tuqin mirkaneessuuf fuula abbootii murtii duratti haa dhiʼeeffamu.
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 Namni tokko yoo qotiyyoo, harree, hoolaa, uffata yookaan miʼa bade tokko miliqsee namni tokko dhufee, ‘Kun kan koo ti’ jedhe, falmiin isaanii fuula abbootii murtii duratti haa dhiʼeeffamu. Namichi abbootiin murtii itti muran sunis ollaa isaatiif harka lama haa baasu.
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 “Yoo namni tokko ollaa isaatiif harree, qotiyyoo, hoolaa yookaan horii biraa imaanaa kennatee horiin suni utuu namni hin argin duʼe yookaan miidhame yookaan hatame,
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 namichi sun akka qabeenya ollaa isaa hin tuqin mirkaneessuuf fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa kakatu; abbaan qabeenyaa sunis kakuu kana fudhachuu qaba; gatiis hin gaafatu.
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 Yoo horiin sun isa jalaa hatamee jiraate garuu namichi abbaa horii sanaatiif baasuu qaba.
But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
13 Yoo horii sana bineensatu nyaate taʼe immoo akka ragaa taʼuuf waan bineensa irraa hafe haa dhiʼeessu malee horii nyaatame sanaaf gatii hin baasin.
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 “Namni tokko yoo ollaa isaa irraa horii ergifatee horiin sun iddoo abbaan horii hin jirretti miidhame yookaan duʼe, namichi ergifate sun gatii haa baasu.
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 Yoo abbaan horii sanaa achi jiraate garuu namichi ergifate sun gatii baasuu hin qabu. Yoo horiin sun kireeffamee jiraate immoo maallaqni baafame sun kiraa horii duʼe sanaa haa taʼu.
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 “Namni tokko yoo durba hin kaadhimatamin gowwoomsee ishee wajjin ciise, inni gabbara misirrittiif malu baaseefii ishee haa fuudhu.
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 Yoo abbaan ishee intalattii namichaaf kennuu dide immoo namichi sun gabbara durbaaf malu baasuu qaba.
If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
18 “Ati akka dubartiin falfaltuun lubbuun jiraattu hin eeyyamin.
Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
19 “Namni horii wajjin ciisu kam iyyuu ajjeefamuu qaba.
Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
20 “Namni Waaqayyo tokkichaaf malee Waaqa biraatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessu galaafatamuu qaba.
Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
21 “Isinis waan biyya Gibxii keessatti alagoota turtaniif alagaatti daba hin hojjetinaa; hin cunqursinaas.
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 “Haadha hiyyeessaatii fi ijoollee abbaan irraa duʼe hin hacuucinaa.
Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
23 Yoo isin isaan miitanii isaan immoo natti booʼan ani dhugumaan booʼicha isaanii nan dhagaʼa.
If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
24 Aariin koo ni bobaʼa; anis goraadeedhaanan isin fixa; niitonni keessan haadhota hiyyeessaa taʼu; ijoolleen keessanis kanneen abbaa hin qabne taʼu.
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 “Ati yoo saba koo keessaa hiyyeessa si bira jiraatu tokkoof maallaqa liqeessite, akka nama hiiqii argachuuf kennuu hin taʼin; dhalas hin gaafatin.
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 Ati yoo wayyaa nama biraa qabdii qabatte, utuu aduun hin dhiʼin deebisiif;
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 wanni inni dhagna isaatti uffatu wayuma sanaatii. Wanni inni uffatee rafu biraa maali? Ani waanan gara laafessa taʼeef, yoo inni natti ol iyyate nan dhagaʼa.
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 “Waaqa hin arrabsin; bulchaa saba keetiis hin abaarin.
You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
29 “Mataa midhaan keetiitii fi dhangalaʼaa wayinii keetii irraa aarsaa dhiʼeessuu hin tursin. “Ilmaan kee keessaas hangafa naa kennuu qabda.
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 Loon keetii fi hoolota kee akkanuma godhi. Isaanis bultii torba haadha isaanii bira haa turan; guyyaa saddeettaffaatti garuu naa kenni.
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 “Isin saba koo qulqulluu ni taatu. Kanaafuu foon horii bineensi alatti cabsee kam iyyuu hin nyaatinaa; foon akkanaa saree dura buusaa.
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.
