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 steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, then he must pay five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
2 “Hattuun tokko utuu cabsee seenuu yoo qabamee tumamee kanumaan duʼe, namichi isa ajjeese sun dhiiga isaatti yakkaan hin gaafatamu;
If a thief is found breaking in, and if he is struck so that he dies, in that case no guilt for murder will attach to anyone on his account.
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 the sun has risen before he breaks in, guilt for murder will attach to the person who kills him. A thief must make restitution. If he has nothing, then he must be sold for his theft.
4 Horiin hatame sun sangaa yookaan harree yookaan hoolaa taanaan yoo utuu lubbuun jiruu harka isaatti argame hattuun sun dachaa baasuu qaba.
If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, a donkey, or a sheep, he must pay back double.
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 grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard.
6 “Yoo ibiddi kaʼee daggala seenee akkasiin midhaan tuulame yookaan midhaan dhaabatu yookaan lafa qotiisaa gube, namichi ibidda qabsiise sun gatii baasuu qaba.
If a fire breaks out and spreads in thorns so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or a field is consumed, the one who started the fire must surely make restitution.
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 gives money or goods to his neighbor for safe keeping, and if it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, that thief must pay double.
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.
But if the thief is not found, then the owner of the house must come before the judges to see whether he has put his own hand on his neighbor's property.
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.
For every dispute about something, whether it is an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or any other missing thing about which one says, “This belongs to me,” the claim of both parties must come before the judges. The man whom the judges find guilty must pay double to his neighbor.
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 gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and if it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone 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.
an oath to Yahweh must be taken by them both, as to whether or not one person has put his hand on his neighbor's property. The owner must accept this, and the other will make no restitution.
12 Yoo horiin sun isa jalaa hatamee jiraate garuu namichi abbaa horii sanaatiif baasuu qaba.
But if it was stolen from him, the other must make restitution to the owner for it.
13 Yoo horii sana bineensatu nyaate taʼe immoo akka ragaa taʼuuf waan bineensa irraa hafe haa dhiʼeessu malee horii nyaatame sanaaf gatii hin baasin.
If an animal was torn in pieces, let the other man bring the animal as evidence. He will not have to pay for what was torn.
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 borrows any animal from his neighbor and the animal is injured or dies without the owner being with it, the other man must surely make restitution.
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.
But if the owner was with it, the other man will not have to pay; if the animal was hired, it will be paid for by its hiring fee.
16 “Namni tokko yoo durba hin kaadhimatamin gowwoomsee ishee wajjin ciise, inni gabbara misirrittiif malu baaseefii ishee haa fuudhu.
If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and if he sleeps with her, he must surely make her his wife by paying the bride wealth required for this.
17 Yoo abbaan ishee intalattii namichaaf kennuu dide immoo namichi sun gabbara durbaaf malu baasuu qaba.
If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money equal to the bride wealth of virgins.
18 “Ati akka dubartiin falfaltuun lubbuun jiraattu hin eeyyamin.
You must not allow a sorceress to live.
19 “Namni horii wajjin ciisu kam iyyuu ajjeefamuu qaba.
Whoever sleeps with a beast must surely be put to death.
20 “Namni Waaqayyo tokkichaaf malee Waaqa biraatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessu galaafatamuu qaba.
Whoever sacrifices to any god except to Yahweh must be completely destroyed.
21 “Isinis waan biyya Gibxii keessatti alagoota turtaniif alagaatti daba hin hojjetinaa; hin cunqursinaas.
You must not wrong a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 “Haadha hiyyeessaatii fi ijoollee abbaan irraa duʼe hin hacuucinaa.
You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
23 Yoo isin isaan miitanii isaan immoo natti booʼan ani dhugumaan booʼicha isaanii nan dhagaʼa.
If you afflict them at all, and if they call out to me, I will surely hear their call.
24 Aariin koo ni bobaʼa; anis goraadeedhaanan isin fixa; niitonni keessan haadhota hiyyeessaa taʼu; ijoolleen keessanis kanneen abbaa hin qabne taʼu.
My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows, and your children will become fatherless.
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 lend money to any of my people among you who are poor, you must not be like a moneylender to him or charge him interest.
26 Ati yoo wayyaa nama biraa qabdii qabatte, utuu aduun hin dhiʼin deebisiif;
If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him 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 that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? When he calls out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate.
28 “Waaqa hin arrabsin; bulchaa saba keetiis hin abaarin.
You must not blaspheme me, God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 “Mataa midhaan keetiitii fi dhangalaʼaa wayinii keetii irraa aarsaa dhiʼeessuu hin tursin. “Ilmaan kee keessaas hangafa naa kennuu qabda.
You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your winepresses. You must give to me the firstborn of your sons.
30 Loon keetii fi hoolota kee akkanuma godhi. Isaanis bultii torba haadha isaanii bira haa turan; guyyaa saddeettaffaatti garuu naa kenni.
You must also do the same with your oxen and your sheep. For seven days they may remain with their mothers, but on the eighth day you must give them 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 will be people that are set apart for me. So you must not eat any meat that was torn by animals in the field. Instead, you must throw it to the dogs.
