Izlazak 22
1 Ko ukrade vola ili ovcu ili kozu, i zakolje ili proda, da vrati pet volova za jednoga vola, a èetiri ovce ili koze za jednu ovcu ili kozu.
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 Ako se lupež uhvati gdje potkopava, te bude ranjen tako da umre, da ne bude kriv za krv onaj koji ga bude ubio;
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 Ali ako se bude sunce rodilo, da je kriv za krv. A lupež sve da naknadi; ako li ne bi imao, onda da se on proda za svoju kraðu.
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 Ako se naðe što je pokrao u njegovoj ruci živo, bio vo ili magarac ili ovca ili koza, da vrati dvostruko.
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 Ko potre njivu ili vinograd pustivši stoku svoju da pase po tuðoj njivi, da naknadi najboljim sa svoje njive i najboljim iz svoga vinograda.
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 Ako izaðe vatra i naiðe na trnje, pa izgori stog ili žito koje još stoji ili njiva, da naknadi onaj koji je zapalio.
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 Ako ko da bližnjemu svojemu novce ili posuðe na ostavu, pa se ukrade iz kuæe njegove, ako se naðe lupež, da plati dvojinom;
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 Ako li se ne naðe lupež, onda gospodar od one kuæe da stane pred sudije da se zakune da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjega svojega.
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 Za svaku stvar za koju bi bila raspra, ili za vola ili za magarca ili za ovcu ili za kozu, ili za haljinu, za svaku stvar izgubljenu, kad ko kaže da je njegova, pred sudije da doðe raspra obojice, pa koga osude sudije, onaj da vrati bližnjemu svojemu dvojinom.
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 Ako ko da bližnjemu svojemu da èuva magarca ili vola ili ovcu ili kozu ili kako god živinèe, pa ugine ili ohrone, ili ga ko otjera a da niko ne vidi,
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 Zakletva Gospodnja neka bude izmeðu njih, da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjega svojega, i gospodar od stvari neka pristane, a onaj da ne plati.
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 Ako li mu bude ukradeno, neka plati gospodaru njegovu.
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 Ako li ga bude rastrgla zvjerka da donese od njega svjedodžbu, i da ne plati što je rastrgnuto.
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 Ako ko uzme u bližnjega svojega živinèe na poslugu, pa ohrone ili ugine, a gospodar mu ne bude kod njega, da plati.
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 Ako li gospodar bude kod njega, da ne plati. Ako li bude najmljeno, da plati samo najam.
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 Ko bi prevario djevojku, koja nije zaruèena, te bi spavao s njom, da joj da præiju i uzme je za ženu.
“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 A ako mu je otac njezin ne bi htio dati, da da novaca koliko ide u præiju djevojci.
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 Vještici ne daj da živi.
You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
19 Ko bi obležao živinèe, da se pogubi.
You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
20 Ko žrtvu prinosi bogovima drugim osim jedinoga Gospoda, da se istrijebi kao prokletnik.
You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
21 Došljaku nemoj èiniti krivo niti ga cvijeliti, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji Misirskoj.
You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
22 Nemojte cvijeliti udovice i sirote.
You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
23 Ako li koju cvijeliš u èem god, i povièe k meni, èuæu viku njezinu,
If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
24 I zapaliæe se gnjev moj, i pobiæu vas maèem, pa æe vaše žene biti udovice i vaša djeca sirote.
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 Kad daš u zajam novaca narodu mojemu, siromahu koji je kod tebe, nemoj mu biti kao kamatnik, ne udarajte na nj kamate.
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 Ako uzmeš u zalogu haljinu bližnjemu svojemu, vrati mu je prije nego sunce zaðe;
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 Jer mu je to sve odijelo èim zaklanja tijelo svoje; u èem æe spavati? pa kad povièe k meni, ja æu ga èuti, jer sam milostiv.
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 Nemoj psovati sudija, i starješini naroda svojega ne govori ružno.
Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
29 Od ljetine svoje i od žitkih stvari svojih nemoj se zatezati da prineseš prvine; prvenca izmeðu sinova svojih meni da daš.
(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 Tako èini s volom svojim i s ovcom i s kozom; sedam dana neka bude s majkom svojom, a osmoga dana da ga daš meni.
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 Biæete mi sveti ljudi; mesa u polju rastrgnuta ne jedite, bacite ga psima.
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].”
