Êxodo 22
1 Quando alguém furtar boi ou ovelha, e lhe degolar ou vender, por aquele boi pagará cinco bois, e por aquela ovelha quatro ovelhas.
Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
2 Se o ladrão for achado arrombando uma casa, e for ferido e morrer, o que lhe feriu não será culpado de sua morte.
If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
3 Se o sol houver sobre ele saído, o matador será réu de homicídio: o ladrão haverá de restituir completamente; se não tiver, será vendido por seu furto.
But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
4 Se for achado com o furto na mão, seja boi ou asno ou ovelha vivos, pagará o dobro.
If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
5 Se alguém fizer pastar campo ou vinha, e meter seu animal, e comer a terra de outro, do melhor de sua terra e do melhor de sua vinha pagará.
If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
6 Quando irromper um fogo, e achar espinhos, e for queimado amontoado, ou plantação, ou campo, o que acendeu o fogo pagará o queimado.
Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
7 Quando alguém der a seu próximo prata ou joias a guardar, e for furtado da casa daquele homem, se o ladrão se achar, pagará o dobro.
Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
8 Se o ladrão não se achar, então o dono da casa será apresentado aos juízes, para ver se pôs sua mão na riqueza de seu próximo.
But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
9 Sobre todo negócio de fraude, sobre boi, sobre asno, sobre ovelha, sobre roupa, sobre toda coisa perdida, quando um disser: Isto é meu, a causa de ambos virá diante dos juízes; e o que os juízes condenarem, pagará o dobro a seu próximo.
If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
10 Se alguém houver dado a seu próximo asno, ou boi, ou ovelha, ou qualquer outro animal a guardar, e se morrer ou se for aleijado, ou for levado sem vê-lo ninguém;
Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
11 Juramento do SENHOR terá lugar entre ambos de que não lançou sua mão à riqueza de seu próximo: e seu dono o aceitará, e o outro não pagará.
Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
12 Mas se lhe houver sido furtado, ressarcirá a seu dono.
But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
13 E se lhe houver sido arrebatado por fera, trará a ele testemunho, e não pagará o arrebatado.
If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
14 Porém se alguém houver tomado emprestado animal de seu próximo, e for ferido ou morto, ausente seu dono, deverá pagá-lo.
If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
15 Se o dono estava presente, não o pagará. Se era alugado, ele virá por seu aluguel.
But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
16 E se alguém enganar a alguma virgem que não for desposada, e dormir com ela, deverá pagar o dote por ela e tomá-la por mulher.
“If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
17 Se seu pai não quiser dá-la a ele, ele lhe pesará prata conforme o dote das virgens.
But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
18 À feiticeira não deixarás que viva.
You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
19 Qualquer um que tiver ajuntamento com animal, morrerá.
You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
20 O que sacrificar a deuses, exceto a somente o SENHOR, será morto.
You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
21 E ao estrangeiro não enganarás, nem angustiarás, porque estrangeiros fostes vós na terra do Egito.
You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
22 A nenhuma viúva nem órfão afligireis.
You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
23 Que se tu chegas a afligir-lhe, e ele a mim clamar, certamente ouvirei eu seu clamor;
If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
24 E meu furor se acenderá, e vos matarei a espada, e vossas mulheres serão viúvas, e órfãos vossos filhos.
And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
25 Se deres a meu povo dinheiro emprestado, ao pobre que está contigo, não te portarás com ele como agiota, nem lhe imporás juros.
If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and require him to pay interest on the money.
26 Se tomares em penhor a roupa de teu próximo, a pôr do sol o devolverás a ele:
If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
27 Porque somente aquilo é sua coberta, é aquela a roupa para cobrir suas carnes, no que há de dormir: e será que quando ele a mim clamar, eu então lhe ouvirei, porque sou misericordioso.
because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
28 Não insultarás aos juízes, nem amaldiçoarás ao príncipe de teu povo.
Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
29 Não adiarás as primícias de tua colheita, nem de teu licor, me darás o primogênito de teus filhos.
(Do not withhold from/Give) me the best parts of the grain that you harvest and of the olive oil and the wine that you produce.
30 Assim farás com o de teu boi e de tua ovelha: sete dias estará com sua mãe, e ao oitavo dia me o darás.
You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
31 E haveis de ser para mim homens santos: e não comereis carne arrebatada das feras no campo; aos cães a lançareis.
You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
