Exodus 22
1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Če bo človek ukradel vola ali ovco in to zakolje ali proda, naj povrne pet volov za vola in štiri ovce za ovco.
2 If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Če je najden tat, da vlamlja in je udarjen, da umre, potem naj zanj ne bo prelite nobene krvi.
3 If the sun shall have risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Če je nad njim vstalo sonce, naj bo zanj prelita kri, kajti moral bi narediti popolno povračilo. Če nima ničesar, potem naj bo prodan za svojo tatvino.
4 If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or donkey, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Če je tatvina v njegovi roki zagotovo najdena živa, bodisi je to vol ali osel ali ovca, naj povrne dvojno.
5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
Če bo človek polju ali vinogradu povzročil, da bo požrto in bo vanj postavil svojo žival, pa se bo pasla na polju drugega človeka, naj povrne od najboljšega svojega lastnega polja in od najboljšega svojega lastnega vinograda.
6 If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field, shall be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Če izbruhne ogenj in zajame trnje, tako da so s tem použite kopice žita ali stoječe žito ali polje, naj tisti, ki je zanetil ogenj, zagotovo naredi povračilo.
7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double.
Če bo človek izročil svojemu bližnjemu v hrambo denar ali stvari, pa bo to ukradeno iz človekove hiše; če bo tat najden, naj plača dvojno.
8 If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he hath put his hand to his neighbour’s goods.
Če tat ne bo najden, potem naj bo gospodar hiše priveden k sodnikom, da vidijo, ali je svojo roko položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega.
9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbour.
Kajti vse vrste prekrški, bodisi je to za vola, za osla, za ovco, za oblačilo ali za katerokoli vrsto izgubljene stvari, za katero drug zatrjuje, da je njegova, naj zadeva obeh strani pride pred sodnike. In kogar bodo sodniki obsodili, naj svojemu bližnjemu plača dvojno.
10 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Če človek svojemu bližnjemu izroči osla ali vola ali ovco ali katerokoli žival v varstvo, pa ta pogine ali je ranjena ali odpeljana proč [in] noben človek tega ne vidi,
11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
potem naj bo Gospodova prisega med njima obema, da svoje roke ni položil na dobrine svojega bližnjega. Njegov lastnik bo od tega sprejel, oni pa tega ne bo povrnil.
12 And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
Če je to od njega ukradeno, naj od tega lastniku naredi povračilo.
13 If it shall be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Če bo to raztrgano na koščke, potem naj to prinese kot pričevanje, on pa ne bo povrnil tega, kar je bilo raztrgano.
14 And if a man shall borrow any thing from his neighbour, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
Če si človek karkoli izposodi od svojega bližnjega in je to poškodovano ali pogine, pa njegov lastnik ni bil s tem, naj on to zagotovo povrne.
15 But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
Vendar, če je bil lastnik od tega z njim, naj on tega ne povrne. Če je bila najeta stvar, je ta prišla za njegovo najemnino.
16 And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
Če mož privabi devico, ki ni zaročena in leži z njo, naj jo zagotovo oskrbi z doto, da postane njegova žena
17 If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Če njen oče popolnoma odklanja, da mu jo da, naj plača denar glede na doto devic.
18 Thou shalt not allow a witch to live.
Ne boš trpel, da bi čarovnica živela.
19 Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Kdorkoli leži z živaljo, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
20 He that sacrificeth to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Kdor žrtvuje kateremukoli bogu, razen samo Gospodu, naj bo popolnoma uničen.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Tujca ne boš niti dražil niti zatiral, kajti tujci ste bili v egiptovski deželi.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Ne boste stiskali katerekoli vdove ali osirotelega otroka.
23 If thou shalt afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Če jih boste na kakršen koli način stiskali in oni kakorkoli kličejo k meni, bom zagotovo slišal njihov klic
24 And my wrath shall burn, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
in moj bes se bo razvnel in ubil vas bom z mečem; in vaše žene bodo vdove in vaši otroci sirote.
25 If thou shalt lend money to any of my people that is poor among you, thou shalt not be to him as a money-lender, neither shalt thou charge him interest.
Če komurkoli izmed mojega ljudstva, ki je poleg tebe ubog, posodiš denar, do njega ne bodi kakor oderuh niti nanj ne nalagaj obresti.
26 If thou shalt at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
Če sploh vzameš za jamstvo oblačilo svojega bližnjega, mu ga boš izročil do takrat, ko zahaja sonce.
27 For that is his only covering, it is his raiment for his skin: what shall he sleep in? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Kajti to je njegovo edino pokrivalo, to je njegovo oblačilo za njegovo kožo. V čem bo spal? In zgodilo se bo, ko kliče k meni, da bom slišal, kajti jaz sem milostljiv.
28 Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
Ne boš zasramoval bogov niti preklinjal vladarja svojega ljudstva.
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give to me.
Ne boš odlašal darovati prvin od svojih zrelih sadov in od svojih žganih pijač. Prvorojenega izmed svojih sinov boš dal meni.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
Podobno boš storil s svojimi voli in s svojimi ovcami. Sedem dni naj bo ta s svojo materjo, na osmi dan pa ga boš dal meni.
31 And ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Vi mi boste sveti ljudje niti ne boste jedli kakršnega koli mesa, ki je raztrgano od živali na polju; vrgli ga boste psom.
