Éxodo 22
1 Cuando alguno hurtare buey, u oveja, y lo degollare, o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
“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 el ladrón fuere hallado en la mina, y fuere herido, y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
3 Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, él será reo de muerte, pagando pagará: si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
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.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, buey, o asno, u oveja, vivos, pagará dos.
If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5 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.
“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.
6 Cuando saliere el fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, o haza, o tierra, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
“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 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:
“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.
8 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.
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.
9 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.
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.
10 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:
“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;
11 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.
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.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, pagar lo ha a su dueño.
But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.
13 Mas si le hubiere sido arrebatado, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
14 Ítem, cuando alguno hubiere tomado emprestado de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrado o muerto, ausente su dueño, pagará.
“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.
15 Si su dueño estaba presente, no pagará. Si era de alquiler, el vendrá por su alquile.
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
16 Ítem, cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, dotarla ha por su mujer.
“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 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 A la hechicera no darás la vida.
“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.
“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 El que sacrificare a dioses, sino a solo Jehová, morirá.
“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Y al extranjero no engañaras, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto,
“You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
23 Que si tú afligiendo los afligieres, y ellos clamando clamaren a mí, yo oyendo oiré su clamor;
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y mataros he a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y vuestros hijos huérfanos.
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 dieres a mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te habrás con él como usurero, no le impondréis usura.
“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.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puesta del sol se lo volverás:
If you take your neighbour’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
27 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.
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 A los dioses no injuriarás, ni maldecirás al príncipe en tu pueblo.
“You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 Tu plenitud, ni tu lágrima, no dilatarás, el primogénito de tus hijos me darás.
“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 Así harás de tu buey, de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.
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.
31 Y serme heis varones santos: y carne arrebatada en el campo no comeréis, echarla heis al perro.
“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.
