Exodus 22

1 “If anyone will have stolen an ox or a sheep, and if he kills it or sells it, then he will restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.

Cuando alguno hurtare buey, u oveja, y lo degollare, o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.

2 If a thief will have been discovered breaking into a house, or digging under it, and he has received a mortal wound, he who struck him down will not be guilty of blood.

Si el ladrón fuere hallado en la mina, y fuere herido, y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.

3 But if he did this when the sun was risen, he has perpetrated a homicide, and he shall die. If he does not have the means to make restitution for the theft, he shall be sold.

Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, él será reo de muerte, pagando pagará: si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.

4 If whatever he stole should be found with him, a living thing, either an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, he shall repay double.

Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, buey, o asno, u oveja, vivos, pagará dos.

5 If there is any damage to a field or a vineyard, when he has released his cattle to pasture on the land of a stranger, he shall repay the best of what he has in his own field, or in his own vineyard, according to the estimation of the damage.

Si alguno paciere tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, lo mejor de su tierra y lo mejor de su viña pagará.

6 If a fire will have been discovered departing from brush, and taking hold in stacks of grain, or in crops standing in the fields, whoever ignited the fire shall repay the damages.

Cuando saliere el fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, o haza, o tierra, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.

7 If anyone will have entrusted money, or a container, to his friend to keep, and if these have been stolen from the one who received them: if the thief is found, he shall repay double.

Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata, o vasos a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble:

8 If the thief is unknown, the lord of the house will be brought before the heavens to swear that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor,

Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será llegado a los jueces para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.

9 so as to perpetrate any fraud, such as with an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or clothing, nor to do anything that would be able to cause damage. The case of both shall be brought before the heavens. And if they give judgment against him, he shall repay double to his neighbor.

Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando alguno dijere: Que esto es; la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces, y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble a su prójimo.

10 If anyone will have entrusted a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to the keeping of his neighbor, and it will have died, or become disabled, or have been captured by enemies, and no one saw it,

Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquiera otro animal a guardar, y se muriere, o se perniquebrare, o fuere cautivado sin verlo nadie:

11 then there shall be an oath between them, that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor. And the owner shall accept the oath, and he will not be compelled to make restitution.

Juramento de Jehová será entre ambos, que no metió su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo. Y su dueño se contentará, y el otro no pagará.

12 But if it will have been taken away by theft, he shall repay the damages to the owner.

Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, pagar lo ha a su dueño.

13 If it has been eaten by a wild beast, let him carry what was killed to him, and then he shall not make restitution.

Mas si le hubiere sido arrebatado, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.

14 If anyone borrows from his neighbor any of these things, and it has died or been disabled when the owner was not present, he shall be compelled to make restitution.

Ítem, cuando alguno hubiere tomado emprestado de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrado o muerto, ausente su dueño, pagará.

15 But if the owner was present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it had been brought for hired work.

Si su dueño estaba presente, no pagará. Si era de alquiler, el vendrá por su alquile.

16 If a man has led astray a virgin not yet betrothed, and he has slept with her, he shall pay her dowry and have her as a wife.

Ítem, cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, dotarla ha por su mujer.

17 If the father of the virgin is not willing to give her, he shall pay money according to manner of a dowry, which virgins are accustomed to receive.

Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.

18 You shall not permit practitioners of the black arts to live.

A la hechicera no darás la vida.

19 Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal shall be put to death.

Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.

20 Whoever immolates to gods, other than to the Lord, shall be killed.

El que sacrificare a dioses, sino a solo Jehová, morirá.

21 You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.

Y al extranjero no engañaras, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto,

22 You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.

A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.

23 If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.

Que si tú afligiendo los afligieres, y ellos clamando clamaren a mí, yo oyendo oiré su clamor;

24 And my fury will be enraged, and I will strike you down with the sword. And your wives will become widows, and your sons will become orphans.

Y mi furor se encenderá, y mataros he a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.

25 If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.

Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te habrás con él como usurero, no le impondréis usura.

26 If you take a garment from your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him again before the setting of the sun.

Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puesta del sol se lo volverás:

27 For it is all that he has to cover himself, to clothe his body; nor does he have anything else in which to sleep. If he cries out to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.

Porque solo aquello es su cobertura, aquel es el vestido de sus carnes en que ha de dormir: y será, que cuando él clamare a mí, yo entonces lo oiré, porque soy misericordioso.

28 You shall not disparage the heavens, and you shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.

A los dioses no injuriarás, ni maldecirás al príncipe en tu pueblo.

29 You shall not delay in paying your tithes and your first-fruits. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

Tu plenitud, ni tu lágrima, no dilatarás, el primogénito de tus hijos me darás.

30 You shall do likewise with those of the oxen and the sheep. For seven days, let it be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall repay it to me.

Así harás de tu buey, de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.

31 You shall be holy men for me. The flesh, from which beasts will have tasted, you shall not eat, but you will throw it to the dogs.”

Y serme heis varones santos: y carne arrebatada en el campo no comeréis, echarla heis al perro.
