Exodus 22
1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Kami maeto mah maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw, paquk moe boh ving, to tih ai boeh loe zaw ving nahaeloe, maitaw tae maeto zuengah maitaw tae pangato, tuu maeto zuengah tuu palito hoi rong han oh.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
Kamqu mah im muk nathuem ah kamqu to bop maat nahaeloe, a nuiah athii palonghaih om mak ai.
3 If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Toe ni tacawt boeh nahaeloe, athii longsak pongah anih loe zae ah oh; kamqu loe paqukhaih atho to rong tih; toe tidoeh tawn ai nahaeloe, paqukhaih atho rong hanah angmah to angzawh han oh.
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
A paquk ih maitaw maw, to tih ai boeh loe laa hrang maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw angmah ban ah hing vop nahaeloe, alet hnetto rong let tih.
5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.
Kami mah a tawnh ih moinawk to lawk ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe misur takha thungah maw pratsak, toe kahoih ah toep ai pongah, minawk ih lawk to caa nahaeloe, a lawk hoi misur takha thung ih kahoih koek hmuen hoiah pathok let tih.
6 “If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Hmai thlaek naah hmai to cawnh moe, lawk ih cangqui maw, to tih ai boeh loe cangkung maw, to tih ai boeh loe lawk to kangh boih nahaeloe, hmai thlaek kami mah rong let tih.
7 “If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
Kami maeto mah a imtaeng kami khaeah phoisa maw, hmuen maw pakuemsak, toe anih imthung hoiah kamqu mah paquk pae ving moe, kamqu to naeh nahaeloe, anih mah alet hnetto rong nasoe.
8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbor’s goods.
Toe kamqu to hnu ai nahaeloe, im tawnkung mah a imtaeng ih hmuen to lak maw, la ai, tito panoek hanah, anih to lokcaekkungnawk hmaa ah kawk moe, lokcaek han oh.
9 For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
Kami maeto mah maitaw tae maw, laa hrang maw, tuu maw, khukbuen maw, to tih ai boeh loe kanghmaa hmuen maw amsoem ai ah, Hae hmuen loe kai ih ni, tiah thui nahaeloe, nihnik to lokcaekkung khaeah caeh haih hmaek han oh; lokcaekkungnawk mah paqu kami ah net ih kami mah a imtaeng kami hanah alet hnetto pathok pae tih.
10 “If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
Kami maeto mah laa hrang maw, to tih ai boeh loe maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih moi doeh toepsak hanah a imtaeng kami khaeah aap, toe to moi to duek ving maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmaa cak maw, to tih ai boeh loe minawk kalah mah huih ving pongah, mi mah doeh hnu ai nahaeloe,
11 the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
moi toepsak kami mah, a imtaeng kami ih hmuen to ka la ai tiah, Angraeng hmaa ah lokkam nahaeloe, nihnik salak lokpunghaih to boengsak han oh; moi tawnkung mah to lok to talawk han oh, moi toep kami doeh rongsak han om ai.
12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
Toe a imtaeng kami mah to moi to paqu nahaeloe, moi toep kami mah tawnkung hanah rong pae tih.
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
Toep ih moi to kalah moisan mah kaek ving nahaeloe, moisan mah kaek ving boeh, tiah hnukung to kawk ah, to tiah nahaeloe moisan mah kaek ving pongah atho rong mak ai.
14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
Kami maeto mah hmuen maeto a imtaeng kami khaeah tlai, tawnkung om ai naah ahmaa cak, to tih ai boeh loe dueh ving nahaeloe, tlai kami mah pathok let tih.
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
Toe tawnkung om toeng nahaeloe, tlaikung mah pathok mak ai; toe atho hoiah tlai nahaeloe, tawnkung mah tlaihaih atho khue to hnik han oh.
16 “If a man entices a virgin who is not pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
Sava sak han ai ah lokkamhaih sah nongpata to nongpa maeto mah pacae khing moe, iip haih nahaeloe, nongpata avang to paek ueloe, nongpata to zu ah la tih.
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Nongpata ih ampa mah a canu to anih zusak han koeh ai cadoeh, anih mah tangla ih avang to paek toengtoeng tih.
18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
Mi kawbaktih doeh pacah ih moi hoiah zaehaih sah kami loe hum han roe oh.
20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
Angraeng khae khue na ai ah, kalah sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sah kami loe, paduek han oh.
21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
Angvin to pacaekthlaek hmah; anih to hnap doeh hnap hmah; nangcae doeh Izip prae thungah angvin ah ni na oh o toeng.
22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
Lamhmainawk, to tih ai boeh loe naqahnawk to pacaekthlaek hmah.
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Na pacaekthlaek pongah, nihcae mah kai khaeah qah o nahaeloe, nihcae qahhaih lok to ka tahngaih pae han.
24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Palung ka phui moe, nangcae sumsen hoiah kang hum o han; na zunawk to lamhmai ah om o ueloe, na caanawk doeh ampa tawn ai ah om o tih.
25 “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.
Na imtaeng ah kaom kamtang kai ih kaminawk khaeah phoisa na coisak nahaeloe, a caa kangpung paek hanah coisak hmah; kapung acaa na lak han om ai.
26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
Na imtaeng kaminawk mah nang khaeah a khukbuen pawng nahaeloe, niduem ai naah thaak pae let ah;
27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
anih loe a takpum padap hanah to khukbuen khue ni a tawnh; to tih ai nahaeloe a iih naah, timaw angkhuk tih? Anih mah kai khaeah hang nahaeloe, kai loe minawk tahmen thaih kami ah ka oh pongah, a hanghaih lok to ka tahngaih pae han.
28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
sithawnawk to kasae thui hmah loe, nangmacae kami ukkung doeh tangoeng hmah.
29 “You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
Kahmin tangsuek thingthai hoi na pasawh tangsuek ih thingthai tui to akra ai ah paek ah, hawk ving hmah; na caanawk thungah tapen tangsuek calu to na paek ah.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
To baktih toengah, maitaw tae hoi tuu doeh paek ah; amno khaeah ni sarihto omsak loe, ni tazetto naah kai khaeah na paek ah.
31 “You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
