Éxodo 22
1 CUANDO alguno hurtare buey ú oveja, y le degollare ó vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
When a man stealeth an ox or a sheep, and slayeth it, or selleth it, with five of the herd, shall he make good—for the ox, or with four of the flock, for the sheep.
2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood:
3 Si el sol hubiere sobre él salido, el [matador] será reo de homicidio: [el ladrón] habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him, —he is surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey ó asno ú oveja vivos, pagará el duplo.
If the thing stolen is found in his hand—whether ox or ass or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
5 Si alguno hiciere pacer campo ó viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.
When a man causeth a field or a vineyard to be depastured, or hath sent in his own cattle and stripped the field of another, he shall, surely make restitution, out of his own field, according to the yield thereof; or if, all the field, he depasture, with the best of his own field, or with the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6 Cuando rompiere un fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, ó haza, ó campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
When a fire breaketh out and hath come upon thorns and so there is consumed a stack of sheaves, or the standing corn, or the field, he that kindled the fire, shall surely make restitution.
7 Cuando alguno diere á su prójimo plata ó alhajas á guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.
When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:
8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado á los jueces, [para ver] si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution double, if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God to swear that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour.
9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble á su prójimo.
For any affair of trespass—for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle for anything lost as to which one could say—This is it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both, —he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double to his neighbour.
10 Si alguno hubiere dado á su prójimo asno, ó buey, ú oveja, ó cualquier otro animal á guardar, y se muriere, ó se perniquebrare, ó fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;
When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, —and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,
11 Juramento de Jehová tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no echó su mano á la hacienda de su prójimo: y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.
the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour, —then shall the owner thereof accept it and he shall not make restitution.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, resarcirá á su dueño.
But, if it be verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness—for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.
14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada [bestia] de su prójimo, y fuere estropeada ó muerta, ausente su dueño, deberá pagar[la].
And when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.
15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.
If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, —if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
16 Y si alguno engañare á alguna doncella que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase-price, that she may 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 to him, silver, shall he weigh out, according to the purchase-price of virgins.
18 A la hechicera no dejarás que viva.
A sorceress, shalt thou not suffer 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 á dioses, excepto á sólo Jehová, será muerto.
He that sacrificeth to the gods shall be devoted to destruction, —except [he sacrificeth] to Yahweh alone.
21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
And, a sojourner, shalt thou not tread down neither shalt thou drive him away, —for sojourners, ye became in the land of Egypt.
22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:
23 Que si tú llegas á afligirle, y él á mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;
if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré á cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
so shall kindle mine anger, and I will slay you with the sword, —and your wives, shall become widows, and your, sons fatherless.
25 Si dieres á mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.
If, silver, thou wilt lend unto my people—unto the humbled one by thee, thou shalt not be to him like one that lendeth on interest, —thou shalt not lay upon him interest.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, á puestas del sol se lo volverás:
If thou, do take in pledge, the mantle of thy neighbour, by the going in of the sun, shalt thou restore it to him;
27 Porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquél el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir: y será que cuando él á mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
for that is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin, —wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear because, gracious, I am.
28 No denostarás á los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
God, shalt thou not revile, —and a prince among thy people, shalt thou not curse.
29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor: me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay, —the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.
30 Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
Thus, shalt thou do with thine ox with thy sheep, —seven days, shall it be with its dam, on the eighth day, shalt thou give it to me.
31 Y habéis de serme varones santos: y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; á los perros la echaréis.
Holy men, therefore shall ye truly become to me, —and flesh in the field torn to pieces, shall ye not eat, to the dogs, shall ye cast it.
