خروج 22

۱ 1 «اگر کسی گاوی یا گوسفندی بدزدد، و آن را بکشد یا بفروشد، به عوض گاوپنج گاو، و به عوض گوسفند چهار گوسفند بدهد.

Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].

۲ 2 اگر دزدی در رخنه کردن گرفته شود، و او رابزنند بطوری که بمیرد، بازخواست خون برای اونباشد.

If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.

۳ 3 اما اگر آفتاب بر او طلوع کرد، بازخواست خون برای او هست. البته مکافات باید داد، و اگر چیزی ندارد، به عوض دزدی که کرد، فروخته شود.

But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.

۴ 4 اگر چیزی دزدیده شده، ازگاو یا الاغ یا گوسفند زنده در دست او یافت شود، دو مقابل آن را رد کند.

If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.

۵ 5 اگر کسی مرتعی یاتاکستانی را بچراند، یعنی مواشی خود را براند تامرتع دیگری را بچراند، از نیکوترین مرتع و ازبهترین تاکستان خود عوض بدهد.

If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.

۶ 6 اگر آتشی بیرون رود، و خارها را فراگیرد و بافه های غله یاخوشه های نادرویده یا مزرعه‌ای سوخته گردد، هر‌که آتش را افروخته است، البته عوض بدهد.

Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.

۷ 7 اگر کسی پول یا اسباب نزد همسایه خود امانت گذارد، و از خانه آن شخص دزدیده شود، هر گاه دزد پیدا شود، دو چندان رد نماید.

Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].

۸ 8 و اگر دزدگرفته نشود، آنگاه صاحب‌خانه را به حضورحکام بیاورند، تا حکم شود که آیا دست خود رابر اموال همسایه خویش دراز کرده است یا نه.

But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].

۹ 9 در هر خیانتی از گاو و الاغ و گوسفند و رخت وهر چیز گم شده، که کسی بر آن ادعا کند، امر هردو به حضور خدا برده شود، و بر گناه هر کدام که خدا حکم کند، دو چندان به همسایه خود ردنماید.

If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.

۱۰ 10 اگر کسی الاغی یا گاوی یا گوسفندی یاجانوری دیگر به همسایه خود امانت دهد، و آن بمیرد یا پایش شکسته شود یا دزدیده شود، وشاهدی نباشد،

Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.

۱۱ 11 قسم خداوند در میان هر دونهاده شود، که دست خود را به مال همسایه خویش دراز نکرده است. پس مالکش قبول بکندو او عوض ندهد.

Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.

۱۲ 12 لیکن اگر از او دزدیده شد، به صاحبش عوض باید داد.

But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.

۱۳ 13 و اگر دریده شد، آن را برای شهادت بیاورد، و برای دریده شده، عوض ندهد.

If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.

۱۴ 14 و اگر کسی حیوانی از همسایه خود عاریت گرفت، و پای آن شکست یا مرد، وصاحبش همراهش نبود، البته عوض باید داد.

If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.

۱۵ 15 اما اگر صاحبش همراهش بود، عوض نباید داد، و اگر کرایه شد، برای کرایه آمده بود.

But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”

۱۶ 16 «اگر کسی دختری را که نامزد نبود فریب داده، با او هم بستر شد، البته می‌باید او را زن منکوحه خویش سازد.

“If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.

۱۷ 17 و هرگاه پدرش راضی نباشد که او را بدو دهد، موافق مهر دوشیزگان نقدی بدو باید داد.

But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.

۲۴ 24 و خشم من مشتعل شود، و شمارا به شمشیر خواهم کشت، و زنان شما بیوه شوندو پسران شما یتیم.

And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.

۲۵ 25 اگر نقدی به فقیری ازقوم من که همسایه تو باشد قرض دادی، مثل رباخوار با او رفتار مکن و هیچ سود بر اومگذار.

۲۶ 26 اگر رخت همسایه خود را به گروگرفتی، آن را قبل از غروب آفتاب بدو رد کن.

If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,

۲۷ 27 زیرا که آن فقط پوشش او و لباس برای بدن اوست، پس در چه چیز بخوابد، و اگر نزد من فریاد برآورد، هرآینه اجابت خواهم فرمود، زیرا که من کریم هستم.

because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
