Egzòd 22
1 Si yon moun vòlò yon bèf osinon yon mouton, si li touye l' epi li vann li, li gen pou l' bay senk bèf pou bèf li pran an osinon kat mouton pou mouton li pran an.
"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.
2 Si yo bare yon vòlè ap kase yon kay epi yo touye l', moun ki touye l' la pa koupab.
If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
3 Men, si sa rive apre solèy fin leve, moun ki touye l' la koupab. Li gen pou l' peye pou li, wè pa wè. Si li pa gen anyen, y'a vann li pou yo ka peye pou sa l' te vòlò a.
If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt of bloodshed for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 Men, si yo jwenn bèt li te vòlò a vivan nan men l' toujou, kit se bèf, kit se kabrit, kit se bourik, l'a renmèt de pou yonn.
If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5 Si yon moun kite bèt li manje nan jaden yon lòt, osinon nan jaden rezen li, si yon moun kite bèt li lage pou yo fè kont dega nan jaden yon lòt moun, li gen pou l' dedonmaje lòt moun lan. L'a ba li pi bon bagay li gen nan jaden pa l' la osinon nan jaden rezen l' yo.
"If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have grazed over the whole field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.
6 Si yon dife pran yon kote, li tonbe nan zèb chèch epi li rive boule danre ki nan depo, osinon grenn ki fin keyi, ou ankò yon jaden tou plante, moun ki lakòz dife a va peye yon dedomajman.
"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.
7 Si yon moun pran lajan l' osinon yon bagay ki gen anpil valè, li bay yon lòt moun sere l' pou li, si yo rive vòlò bagay sa yo nan kay moun ki te sere yo a, si yo jwenn vòlè a, vòlè a va gen pou renmèt de fwa lavalè.
"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.
8 Men, si yo pa jwenn vòlè a, y'a mennen mèt kay kote bagay yo te sere a devan lòtèl Bondye a, pou yo wè si se pa li menm ki te pran bagay lòt moun lan.
If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
9 Si yon moun pèdi yon bagay, kit se yon bèf, osinon yon bourik, ou ankò yon mouton, kit se yon rad ou nenpòt lòt bagay, si lè yo jwenn sak te pèdi a yon lòt moun pretann di se pou li li ye, y'a mennen yo tou de devan lòtèl Bondye a pou regle sa. Moun Bondye va kondannen an va gen pou l' bay lòt la de fwa lavalè pou dedomajman.
For every matter of trespass, whether it be 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.
10 Si yon moun bay yon frè parèy li gade yon bourik, yon bèf, yon mouton, ou ankò nenpòt ki lòt bèt pou li, si bèt la mouri osinon si malè rive l' ou ankò si piyajè pran l' san pesonn pa wè sa,
"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;
11 lè sa a, y'a mande ni mèt bèt la ni gadò a pou yo fè sèman devan lòtèl Bondye a. Moun ki t'ap gade bèt la va deklare se pa li menm ki te pran bèt lòt moun lan. Lè sa a, mèt bèt la va asepte pèt la. Gadò a p'ap gen ankenn dedomajman pou l' bay.
the oath of God shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 Men si se vòlò yo te vòlò bèt la nan men l', l'a gen pou l' peye mèt la kichòy.
But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
13 Si se bèt nan bwa ki devore bèt la, l'a pote rès la pou mèt bèt la ka wè ak de je l' se pa manti l'ap ba li. Li p'ap gen anyen pou l' peye pou sa.
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
14 Si yon moun prete yon bèt nan men yon frè parèy li, epi malè rive bèt la, osinon li mouri an absans mèt li, se pou l' peye mèt bèt la kichòy.
"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.
15 Men, si mèt la te la lè malè a rive, moun lan pa gen anyen pou l' peye. Si se yon bèt li te lwe, se pri li te lwe l' la ase pou li bay.
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
16 Si yon nonm pran tèt yon jenn fi ki poko fiyanse, epi li kouche avè l', li gen pou l' peye lajan yo konn bay pou yon maryaj, epi se pou l' marye ak jenn fi a.
"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.
17 Men, si papa jenn fi a refize kite l' marye avè l', tout jan se pou msye peye lajan yo bay lè yo pral marye ak yon fi ki tifi.
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Se pou nou touye tout fanm k'ap fè maji.
"You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Se pou yo touye tout moun ki kwaze ak zannimo.
"Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 Si yon moun ofri bèt pou yo touye pou lòt bondye pase Seyè a, se pou yo disparèt li tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye.
"He who sacrifices to another god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi nou. Piga nou peze yo non plis, paske nou menm, chonje nou te etranje tou nan peyi Lejip.
"You shall not wrong a foreigner, neither shall you oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 Piga nou maltrete ni vèv yo, ni timoun san papa yo.
"You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
23 Si nou malmennen yo, m'ap reponn yo lè y'a rele mande m' sekou.
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 m'a fache, m'a fè nou mouri nan lagè. Konsa, madanm nou yo ap vin vèv tou, pitit nou yo ap rete san papa tou.
and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 Si nou prete yonn nan frè parèy nou yo lajan, yonn nan pòv ki nan mitan nou yo, piga nou fè tankou moun k'ap bay ponya pou nou egzije l' peye enterè.
"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
26 Si yon nonm plane levit li lakay ou pou ou prete l' yon ti kòb, se pou ou renmèt li rad li anvan solèy kouche.
If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
27 Paske, se sèl rad li gen pou l' mete sou li pou fredi pa bat li. Kisa pou l' mete sou li pou l' kouvri aswè? Si li rele mande m' sekou, m'a reponn li paske mwen gen bon kè.
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.
28 Piga nou pale Bondye mal. Piga nou bay chèf pèp la madichon.
"You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 Pa pran reta pou n' ofri m' sa pou n' ofri m' nan rekòt danre nou yo ak nan diven nou. n'a ban mwen premye pitit gason nou yo.
"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.
30 N'a ban mwen tou premye pitit bèf nou yo ak premye pitit mouton nou yo. Ti bèt la va pase sèt jou avèk manman l'. Sou wityèm jou a n'a ofri l' ban mwen.
You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
31 Se pou nou mache tankou moun k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Pa manje vyann bèt nou jwenn lòt bèt nan bwa devore. Vyann konsa se chen pou nou jete l' bay.
"You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
