Éxodo 22
1 Cuando alguno hurtare buey, u oveja, y lo degollare, o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado en la mina, y fuere herido, y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.
3 Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, él será reo de muerte, pagando pagará: si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, buey, o asno, u oveja, vivos, pagará dos.
If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
5 Si alguno paciere tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, lo mejor de su tierra y lo mejor de su viña pagará.
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make [it] good.
6 Cuando saliere el fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, o haza, o tierra, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
— If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good.
7 Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata, o vasos a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble:
— If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;
8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será llegado a los jueces para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando alguno dijere: Que esto es; la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces, y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble a su prójimo.
As to all manner of fraud, — as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this — the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.
10 Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquiera otro animal a guardar, y se muriere, o se perniquebrare, o fuere cautivado sin verlo nadie:
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],
11 Juramento de Jehová será entre ambos, que no metió su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo. Y su dueño se contentará, y el otro no pagará.
an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, pagar lo ha a su dueño.
But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make [it] good unto its owner.
13 Mas si le hubiere sido arrebatado, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it [as] witness: he shall not make good what was torn.
14 Ítem, cuando alguno hubiere tomado emprestado de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrado o muerto, ausente su dueño, pagará.
— And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;
15 Si su dueño estaba presente, no pagará. Si era de alquiler, el vendrá por su alquile.
if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make [it] good; if it be a hired [thing], it came for its hire.
16 Ítem, cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, dotarla ha por su mujer.
And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.
17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 A la hechicera no darás la vida.
— Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.
— Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.
20 El que sacrificare a dioses, sino a solo Jehová, morirá.
— He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.
21 Y al extranjero no engañaras, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto,
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
23 Que si tú afligiendo los afligieres, y ellos clamando clamaren a mí, yo oyendo oiré su clamor;
If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y mataros he a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.
and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te habrás con él como usurero, no le impondréis usura.
— If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puesta del sol se lo volverás:
— If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;
27 Porque solo aquello es su cobertura, aquel es el vestido de sus carnes en que ha de dormir: y será, que cuando él clamare a mí, yo entonces lo oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 A los dioses no injuriarás, ni maldecirás al príncipe en tu pueblo.
Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.
29 Tu plenitud, ni tu lágrima, no dilatarás, el primogénito de tus hijos me darás.
— Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy [threshing-floor] and the outflow of thy [winepress]. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 Así harás de tu buey, de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
Likewise shalt thou do with thy calf, with thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31 Y serme heis varones santos: y carne arrebatada en el campo no comeréis, echarla heis al perro.
— And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.
