< 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.
“Mwet se fin pisrala soko cow ku soko sheep, ac uniya ku kukakunla, el enenu elan moli cow soko ah ke cow limekosr, ku sheep soko ke sheep akosr.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
Mwet pisrapasr sac el enenu na in akfalye ma el pisrala. Fin wangin yorol, na enenu in kukakinyukla el oana sie mwet kohs, in molela ma el pisrala ah.
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.
Fin cow soko ku donkey soko ku sheep soko koneyukyak srakna oan yorol tia misa, na el enenu elan moli ma soko ah ke ma lukwa.
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Sie mwet pisrapasr fin sruhu ac anwuki ke el kunauselik sie acn in utyak nu in lohm ke fong, na wangin mwatan mwet se ma unilya ah. El fin anwuki ke len, na ac fah oasr mwatan mwet se ma unilya uh ke akmas.
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.
“Sie mwet fin fuhlela kosro natul in mongo mah ke ima in wheat ku ima in grape lal, ac elos alukela som kangla fokin ima lun sie pacna mwet, mwet se natu kosro ah el enenu in akfalye ma musalla ke fokin ima lal sifacna.
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.
“Sie mwet fin akosak sie e in ima lal, ac e sac sun mah ngeng kulakelik nu in ima lun siena mwet, ac esukak wheat ma kapak ku ma pakpukla ac ilusyukyak, mwet se ma akosak e sac ac fah moli ma nukewa ma musalla.
7 “If a man delivers to his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
“Sie mwet fin liyaung mani ku kutu ma saok pac lun siena mwet, ac ma inge pisrapasrla liki lohm sel, mwet se ma pisrala ah fin koneyukyak, el enenu in akfalye ma el pisrala pacl luo.
8 If the thief isn’t 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 neighbour’s goods.
Tusruktu mwet se ma pisrala ah fin tiana koneyukyak, mwet se ma liyaung ma saok uh in utuku nu ke nien alu, ac el enenu in fahkak ye mutun God lah tia el pa pisrala ma lun mwet se ngia.
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 neighbour.
“Fin oasr sie ma tuhlac, ac mwet luo ameila kac fahk mu ma lal pa ma sac, finne ke cow soko, donkey soko, sheep soko, nuknuk, ku kutepacna ma, mwet luo ingan ac tufah utukla nu ke nien alu. Mwet se ma God El akkalemye lah el pa kikiap uh, fah moli pacl luo nu sin mwet se ngia.
10 “If a man delivers to his neighbour a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
“Mwet se fin liyaung donkey nutin siena mwet, ku cow, ku sheep, ku kutepacna kosro, ac kosro soko ah misa ku kineta ku pisrapasrla a wanginna mwet liye,
11 the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbour’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
mwet se ma liyaung ac fah som nu ke nien alu, ac fahkak ye mutun God lah el tia pisrala kosro nutin mwet sac. Fin pwaye kosro soko ah tiana pisrapasrla, mwet se natu ac fah falkin kas lun mwet se ngia, na mwet se ngia tia enenu in moli nu sel.
12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
Tusruktu kosro soko ah fin pisrapasrla, mwet se liyaung ah enenu in moli nu sin mwet se natu ah.
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
Kosro soko ah fin anwuki sin kosro lemnak, mwet se ma liyaung ah in use monin kosro soko ma anwuki ah in mwe akpwaye. El tia enenu in moli ma kosro lemnak uh uniya uh.
14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbour’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
“Mwet se fin ngisrala kosro soko nutin siena mwet, ac kosro soko ah kineta ku misa ke mwet se natu ah el wangin, mwet se ma ngisrala ah enenu in moli.
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
Tusruktu ma ingan fin sikyak ke mwet se natu ah oasr uh, na mwet se ma ngisrala ah tia enenu in moli. Fin oasr molin orekmakinyen kosro soko ah, molo se ingan pa ac akfalye uh.
16 “If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
“Sie mukul fin furokla nunak lun sie mutan fusr su soenna etu mwet ac soenna siyukyukla, ac el oan yorol, na mukul sac el enenu in moli nu sin sou lun mutan sac, na payukyak sel.
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Tusruktu papa tumun mutan fusr sac fin tiana insese elan payukyak sel, na mukul sac enenu na in moli nu sin papa sac lupa ma fal ke payukyak nu sin sie mutan su soenna etu mwet.
18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
“Uniya kutena mutan su orek inutnut.
19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
“Uniya kutena mukul su oan yurin soko kosro.
20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
“In anwuki kutena mwet su orek kisa nu sin kutena god sayuk, LEUM GOD.
21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
“Nimet oru koluk ku akkeokye sie mwetsac. Esam lah kowos tuh mwetsac in facl Egypt.
22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
Nimet oru koluk nu sin kutena katinmas ku tulik mukaimtal.
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Kowos fin oru, nga LEUM GOD fah porongalos ke elos pang nu sik nga in kasrelos,
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.
ac nga ac kasrkusrak ac unikowosi ke mweun. Mutan kiowos fah katinmasla, ac tulik nutuwos ac fah wanginla papa tuma.
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.
“Fin oasr mwet luk su sukasrup ngisre kom mani, nimet oru oana mwet ngia oru ac sap elan folokin mani lom wi kap kac.
26 If you take your neighbour’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
Kom fin eisla nuknuk lik lun mwet se ma ngusr mani sum in mwe akpwaye lah el ac folokin mani lom an, kom enenu in folokunang nu sel meet liki faht uh tili,
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.
mweyen pwayena ma ac sang akfusrfusryal ke fong uh. Mea, oasr pac ma el ac afinilya kac? Ke pacl el ac pang nu sik in kasrel, nga ac porognal mweyen nga pakoten.
28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
“Nik kom kaskas koluk lain God, ac nik kom selngawi sie mwet kol lun mwet lom.
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.
“Ase nu sik mwe sang lowos ke wheat, wain, ac oil in olive ke pacl fal. “Ase nu sik wounse mukul nutuwos.
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.
Ase nu sik wounse ke cow ac sheep nutuwos. Fuhlela tuh wounse mukul ke kosro uh in mutana yurin nina kia ke len itkosr, ac ke len se akoalkosr kisakunma nu sik.
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.
“Kowos mwet luk, ouinge kowos fah tia kang ikwa ke kutena kosro ma kosro lemnak uh uniya, a kowos in sang nun kosro ngalngul.
