< 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.
“Kapau ʻe kaihaʻa ʻe ha tangata ha pulu pe ha sipi, mo tāmateʻi ia, pe fakatau ia; te ne totongi ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae pulu ʻe nima, mo e sipi ʻe taha ʻaki ʻae sipi ʻe fā.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
Kapau ʻe maʻu[poʻuli ]ha kaihaʻa lolotonga ʻene fai, pea taaʻi ia pea mate, ʻe ʻikai lilingi ha toto koeʻuhi ko ia.
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.
Kapau kuo ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai teʻia ia: ka te ne ʻatu hono totongi kotoa: kapau ʻoku ʻikai haʻa ne meʻa, pehē ʻe fakatau ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kaihaʻa.
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Kapau ʻoku ʻilo pau ʻene kaihaʻa ʻi hono nima ʻoku kei moʻui, pe ko ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi, pe ha sipi; ʻe totongi ʻaki ia ʻae ua.
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.
“Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ke keina ha ngoue, pe ha ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ki ai ʻene manu, ke kai ʻi he ngoue ʻae tangata kehe: ʻe totongi ki ai ia ʻaki hono fua lelei ʻo ʻene ngoue, mo e lelei ʻo ʻene ngoue vaine.
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.
“Kapau ʻe tupu ha afi, pea hoko ki he ʻakau talatala, pea vela ai ʻae ngaahi fokotuʻunga uite, pe ko e ngoue, ʻo ʻauha ai; ko ia naʻa ne tutu ʻae afi te ne totongi moʻoni.
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.
“Kapau ʻe tuku ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaahi paʻanga, pe ha meʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke ne vakai ki ai, pea kapau ʻe kaihaʻasia ia mei he fale ʻoe tangata: kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻae kaihaʻa, tuku ke ne totongi ʻaki ʻae ua.
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.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻe toki ʻomi ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale ki he kau fakamaau, ke ʻilo, pe kuo ne ai hono nima ki he meʻa ʻa hono kaungāʻapi.
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.
“ʻI he ngaahi anga fakakaihaʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kau ki he pulu, pe ki he ʻasi, pe ko e sipi, pe ki he kofu, pe ki he meʻa kuo mole, ʻaia ʻoku lea fakapapau ki ai ha tokotaha ʻo pehē ko ʻene meʻa, ʻe fakahā fakatouʻosi pe ʻena meʻa ki he kau fakamaau; pea ko ia ʻe tuku ko e halaia ʻe he kau fakamaau, te ne totongi ke tuʻo ua ki hono kaungāʻapi.
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;
“Kapau ʻe tuku ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ha ʻasi, pe ha pulu, pe ha sipi, pe ha manu ʻe taha ke ne tauhi; pea mate ia, pe lavea, pe fakahēʻi ke mamaʻo, kae ʻikai ha tangata kuo mamata ki ai;
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.
Pea ʻe fuakava ʻakinaua ki he ʻEiki, ʻo pehē naʻe ʻikai te ne mafao atu hono nima ki he meʻa ʻa hono kaungāʻapi; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae meʻa te ne tui ki ai, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ia.
12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
Pea kapau kuo kaihaʻasi meiate ia, pea te ne ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ia.
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
Kapau kuo mahaehae, ʻoku lelei ʻene ʻomi ia ke fakamoʻoni, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne totongi ʻaia kuo mahaehae.
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.
“Pea kapau ʻe nō ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pea hoko ʻo lavea ia, pe mate, kae ʻikai ʻi ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, ko e moʻoni te ne totongi ia.
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
Pea kapau naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ia; kapau ko e ngāue totongi, naʻe haʻu ia ko e totongi.
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.
“Pea kapau ʻe fakatauveleʻi ʻe ha tangata ha taʻahine ʻoku teʻeki poloʻi pea na mohe, ko e moʻoni te ne vahe koloa maʻana, pea hoko ko hono mali.
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito tuku ia ʻe heʻene tamai kiate ia, pea ke totongi paʻanga ia ʻo fakatatau ki he koloa fakatau ʻae kau taʻahine.
18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
“ʻOua naʻa ke tuku ke moʻui ʻae fefine taulafaʻahikehe.
19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
“Ko ia ʻe mohe mo e manu ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
“Ko ia ʻoku feilaulau ki ha ʻotua kehe, ka ʻoku ʻikai kia Sihova pe, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
“ʻE ʻikai te ke fakamamahiʻi ha muli, pe taʻomia ia, he naʻa mou nofo ʻi ʻIsipite ko e kau muli.
22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
“ʻE ʻikai te mou fakamamahi ha fefine kuo pekia hono mali, pe ko e tamasiʻi tuēnoa.
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Kapau te ke tautea ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa, pea nau tangi mai kiate au, ko e moʻoni te u ongoʻi ʻenau tangi;
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.
Pea ʻe tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻeku houhau, pea te u tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ʻe hoko homou ngaahi mali ko e kau paea, mo hoʻomou fānau ko e tamai mate.
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.
“Kapau ʻoku tuku atu hoʻo koloa ki ha niʻihi ʻi hoku kakai masiva ʻoku ofi kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke fai kiate ia hangē ha tangi koloa totongi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tala kiate ia ʻae totongi.
26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
Kapau ʻoku ke toʻo ʻae kofu ʻo ho kaungāʻapi ko e fakamoʻoni, ke ke toe ʻatu ia kiate ia ʻo feʻunga mo e tō ʻae laʻā.
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.
He ko hono kofu pe ia, ko e kofu ʻo hono kili: pea ko e hā ʻe mohe ai ia? Pea ka tangi ia kiate au, pea ʻe pehē, Te u ongoʻi, he ʻoku ou angaʻofa.
28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
“ʻOua naʻa ke lauʻikovi ʻae kau fakamaau, pe kapeʻi ʻae pule ʻa hoʻo kakai.
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.
“ʻOua naʻa ke fakatuai ʻi he ʻatu hoʻo ngaahi ʻuluaki fua kuo motuʻa, mo e meʻainu; ko e ʻuluaki ʻi ho ngaahi foha te ke foaki kia Sihova.
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.
Pea ke fai pehē pe foki ki hoʻo fanga pulu pea mo hoʻo fanga sipi: ʻe nofo ʻae ʻuhiki mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: ʻi hono ʻaho valu te ke foaki mai ia kiate au.
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.
“Pea te mou ʻiate au ko e kau tangata māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ha kakano kuo haehae ʻe he fanga manu ʻi he vao; ka te mou lī ia ki he fanga kulī.
