Ọpụpụ 22
1 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ezuru ehi maọbụ atụrụ gbuo ya, maọbụ ree ya, ọ ga-akwụghachi ehi ise nʼọnọdụ ehi ahụ. Nʼọnọdụ otu atụrụ o zuuru, ọ ga-akwụghachi atụrụ anọ.
'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
2 “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi mgbe ọ na-egbuka ụlọ onye ọzọ, ọ bụrụkwa na e tigbuo ya, mee ka ọ nwụọ, iwu ejideghị onye ahụ gburu ya.
'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
3 Kama ọ bụrụ na e tigburu onye ahụ mgbe chi bọcharala, ọmụma ikpe ga-adịrị onye ahụ tigburu ya. “Ọ bụrụ na e jide onye ohi, a ga-eme ka ọ kwụghachi ihe o zuru nʼohi. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ike kwụghachi, a ga-ere ya dịka ohu, jiri ego e retara kwụọ ụgwọ o ji.
if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
4 Ọ bụrụ na a chọta ihe o zuru nʼaka ya, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, ọ ga-akwụghachi ọnụahịa ya okpukpu abụọ.
if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
5 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ akpachara anya hapụ anụ ụlọ ya ka ọ gaa taa nri nʼubi maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ nʼubi onye ọzọ, onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ihe niile anụ ụlọ ya mebiri, ma ihe ọ ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ahụ aghaghị ịbụ ihe ọrụ ubi dị mma nke o si nʼubi ya maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị ya wepụta.
'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.
6 “Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ na-agba banye nʼogwu, repịa ogbo ọka dị nʼubi mmadụ maọbụ ọka guzoro eguzo, ma ọ bụkwanụ ọhịa niile, onye ahụ tinyere ọkụ ahụ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe ahụ niile nke ọkụ repịara.
'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
7 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enye enyi ya maọbụ onye agbataobi ya ego, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ka o debere ya, ma onye ohi agaa zuru ya site nʼụlọ ya, a si na e jide onye ohi dị otu a, ọ ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ihe o zuru okpukpu abụọ.
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
8 Ọ bụrụ na a chọpụtaghị onye ohi ahụ, onye nwe ụlọ ahụ aghaghị ịbịa nʼihu Chineke, ka a chọpụta maọbụ ya nʼonwe ya setịpụrụ aka were ihe ahụ, bụ akụ nke onye ọzọ kpatara.
'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
9 Ọ bụrụ na onye ehi ya, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, maọbụ atụrụ ya, maọbụ uwe, maọbụ ihe ọbụla furu efu, nke mmadụ na-asị, ‘Nke a bụ ya.’ Mmadụ abụọ ndị a ga-aga nʼihu ndị ikpe. Onye ọbụla ndị ikpe a mara ikpe ga-akwụghachi ibe ya ụgwọ okpukpu abụọ.
for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
10 “Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ mmadụ nyere onye agbataobi ya nʼaka idebe anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ, maọbụ gbafuo, ma anụ ụlọ ahụ ọ bụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ anụ ụlọ ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị onye hụrụ mgbe ihe ndị a dakwasịrị anụ ụlọ ahụ,
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —
11 mgbe ahụ, onye agbataobi ahụ e nyere anụ ndị a nʼaka idebe ga-aṅụ iyi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Iyi ahụ ọ ṅụrụ ga-egosi onyenwe anụ ụlọ ahụ na o zughị ya nʼohi. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụghachi ụgwọ ọbụla.
an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
12 Ma ọ bụrụ na o zuru anụ ụlọ ahụ nʼohi site na nke agbataobi ya, ọ ghaghị ịkwụghachi ụgwọ niile nye onyenwe ya.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
13 Ọ bụrụ na anụ ọhịa gburu ya, ọ ga-eweta ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ a dọgburu adọgbu, iji gosi na anụ ọhịa dọgburu ya. Ọ ga-esikwa otu a gbanarị ikpe ọmụma. Nʼihi nke a, ọ gaghị akwụkwa ụgwọ ọbụla nʼihi anụ ụlọ ahụ.
if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
14 “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaziri anụ ụlọ site nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ anwụọ, maọbụ merụọ ahụ mgbe onyenwe ya na-anọghị nʼebe ahụ, onye ahụ a gbazinyere anụ ụlọ ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya.
'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;
15 Ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ahụ nọ na nke onyenwe ya, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụ ụgwọ ọbụla. Ọ bụrụ na a kwụrụ ego mgbazi ọbụla nʼisi anụmanụ a, onye gbaziri ya agaghị akwụghachi ego ọbụla, nʼihi na ego mgbazi ọ kwuru ka a ga-ewere dịka ụgwọ.
if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
16 “Ọ bụrụ na nwoke arafuo nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, site nʼime ka ha abụọ dinaa, nwoke ahụ ga-akwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Ọ ga-alụkwa ya dịka nwunye ya.
'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;
17 Ọ bụrụ na nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ ekwenyeghị ka nwoke ahụ lụọ ya, nwoke ahụ aghaghị ịkwụ ụgwọ isi nwaagbọghọ ahụ.
if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
18 “E kwesighị ịhapụ nwanyị mgbaasị ndụ.
'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
19 “Onye ọbụla ya na anụ ọbụla dinakọrọ, e kwesiri ime ka ọ nwụọ.
'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 “Onye ọbụla chụrụ aja nye chi ọzọ ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị, a ga-eme ka ọ nwụọ.
'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
21 “Ọ kwesighị ka mmadụ ọbụla mesie onye ọbịa ihe ike nʼụzọ ọbụla. Unu aghaghị icheta na unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼala Ijipt.
'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
22 “Unu emegbula nwanyị ọbụla di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ onye ọbụla na-enweghị nne na nna.
'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
23 Unu megbuo ha, mee ka ha tikuo m, aga m anụ mkpu akwa ha, nyere ha aka.
if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
24 Mgbe ahụ, iwe m dị oke ọkụ ga-eripịa unu. Aga m ejikwa mma agha tigbuo unu. Ndị nwunye unu ga-aghọkwa ndị inyom na-enweghị di, ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị na-enweghị nna.
and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 “Ọ bụrụ na ị gbazinyere onye Hibru ego, onye bụ nwa mgbei, ị gaghị anara ya ọmụrụnwa.
'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
26 Ọ bụrụ na ị nara ya uwe ya nʼihi ego ahụ ị gbazinyere ya, ekwela ka uwe ahụ nọgide nʼaka gị ruo mgbe anwụ dara.
if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
27 Nʼihi na uwe ahụ nwere ike bụrụ naanị ihe o nwere, maọbụ uwe ọ ga-eji rahụ ụra. Ọ bụrụ na i zighachighị ya, o tikuo m site nʼịkwa akwa, aga m anụrụ mkpu akwa ya, nʼihi na abụ m onye obi ebere.
for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
28 “Ekwulula aha Chineke, abụkwala onye na-achị ndị gị ọnụ.
'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
29 “Atụfukwala oge ọbụla nʼịkwụghachi onyinye unu kwesiri inye. Maọbụ nke mkpụrụ ala ubi gị, na nke mmanya vaịnị gị, na ụgwọ i kwesiri ịkwụ. “Ị ghaghị inye m nwa gị nwoke e buru ụzọ mụọ.
'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
30 Otu a ka ị ga-emekwa banyere mkpụrụ mbụ nke ehi gị na atụrụ gị. Ị ga-ewebata ya nye m nʼụbọchị nke asatọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ha, mgbe ị hapụsịrị ha nne ha ụbọchị asaa.
so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
31 “Unu ga na-abụrụ m ndị dị nsọ. Nʼihi nke a, wezuganụ onwe unu nʼebe anụ a dọgburu adọgbu dị. Unu erikwala anụ dị otu a, kama tụpụrụnụ ya nkịta.
'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
