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: five oxen shall he restore for one ox, and four sheep for one 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 a thief be found while breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall no blood be shed 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 upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; he shall make full restitution; if he have nothing, then shall he be sold for his theft.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, buey, o asno, u oveja, vivos, pagará dos.
If the thing stolen be actually found in his hand alive, 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 cause a field or vineyard to be eaten off, and he let his beasts enter, and they feed in another man's field; with the best of his own field, and with best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
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 a fire break out, and meet with thorns, so that stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed thereby, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
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 do deliver unto his neighbor money or vessels to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house: if the thief be found, he shall pay 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, then shall the master of the house be brought unto the judges, [to swear] that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor'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.
For all manner of trespass, for ox, for ass, for lamb, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, of which he can say, This is it, before the judges shall come the cause of both parties, and he, whom the judges may condemn, shall pay double unto his neighbor.
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 neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a lamb, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing 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.
Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept this, and he shall not make it good.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, pagar lo ha a su dueño.
But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 Mas si le hubiere sido arrebatado, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence; that which was torn he shall not make good.
14 Ítem, cuando alguno hubiere tomado emprestado de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrado o muerto, ausente su dueño, pagará.
And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make it good.
15 Si su dueño estaba presente, no pagará. Si era de alquiler, el vendrá por su alquile.
But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, the loss is included in 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 surely 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 refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay 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.
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 El que sacrificare a dioses, sino a solo Jehová, morirá.
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Y al extranjero no engañaras, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto,
And a stranger thou shalt not vex, and shalt not oppress him; for strangers ye were 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 wise; [for if he cry at all unto me, I will surely hear his cry: ]
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y mataros he a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.
My wrath shall wax hot, 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, to the poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a lender of money; thou shalt not lay upon him usury.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puesta del sol se lo volverás:
If thou take at all thy neighbor's raiment in pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by the time the sun goeth 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 it is his only covering, it is his raiment for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? 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.
The judges thou shalt not revile; and a ruler among thy people thou shalt not curse.
29 Tu plenitud, ni tu lágrima, no dilatarás, el primogénito de tus hijos me darás.
The first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors, shalt thou not delay to offer; the first-born 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.
In like manner shalt thou do with thy ox, with thy sheep; seven days it shall 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 holy men shall ye be unto me: and flesh that is torn of beasts in the field, shall ye not eat; to the dogs shall ye cast it.
