¹Če kdo ukrade vola ali ovco in zakolje ali proda živinče, naj povrne pet volov za vola in štiri ovce za ovco.

¹`When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

²Ako se zasači tat pri vlomu in ga kdo udari, da umrje, ne bodi kriv krvi;

²`If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;

³ako pa mu je že izšlo solnce, bodi sojen zaradi krvi. Tat mora vsekakor povrniti: ako nima ničesar, bodi prodan za svojo tatvino.

³if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;

⁴Ako se najde v roki njegovi, kar je ukradel, živo, bodi vol ali osel ali ovca, naj povrne dvojno.

⁴if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.

⁸ako tatu ne najdejo, naj se postavi hišni gospodar pred sodnike, ni li iztegnil roke svoje po blagu bližnjega svojega.

⁸`If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;

⁹Ob vsakem poneverjenju, če gre za vola, ali osla, ali ovco, ali obleko ali za katerokoli izgubljeno reč, o kateri se pravi: Moja je, naj pride pravda obeh strank pred sodnike: kogar sodniki spoznajo za krivega, ta naj dvojno plača bližnjemu svojemu.

⁹for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.

¹⁰Če kdo shrani pri svojem sosedu osla ali vola ali ovco ali kako drugo žival, in ta pogine ali bode poškodovana ali odpeljana, ne da bi kdo videl to:

¹¹prisega GOSPODOVA naj odloči med njima, ni li iztegnil roke svoje po blagu bližnjega svojega, in lastnik njegov jo sprejme, in oni ne bo dolžan povrniti.

¹¹an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;

¹²Ako pa mu je bilo ukradeno, naj povrne lastniku.

¹²but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;

¹³Če je zver raztrgala živinče, naj to prinese v potrdilo; raztrganega mu ni treba povrniti.

¹³if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.

¹⁴In če si kdo izposodi od svojega bližnjega živino, in bode poškodovana ali pogine v nenavzočnosti gospodarjevi, mu jo mora povrniti,

¹⁴`And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;

¹⁵ako pa je gospodar zraven, mu je ne povrne: najeta je bila, in vštelo se je v najemščino.

¹⁵if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.

¹⁶Če kdo zapelje devico, ki ni še zaročena, in leži ž njo, mora plačati doto in si jo vzeti za ženo.

¹⁶`And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;

¹⁷Če mu je pa njen oče nikakor noče dati, naj odšteje denarja primerno doti, navadni za device.

²⁰`He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.

²¹Tujcu ne delaj sile in ga ne tlači, kajti tujci ste bili v deželi Egiptovski.

²¹`And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

²²Nobene vdove in sirote ne žalite.

²²`Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

²³Če jih kakorkoli razžališ in bodo vpile k meni, gotovo uslišim njih vpitje;

²³if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

²⁴in razvname se jeza moja, in vas pomorim z mečem, da bodo žene vaše vdove in otroci vaši sirote.

²⁴and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

²⁵Če denarja posodiš ljudstvu mojemu, ubožcu, ki biva zraven tebe, ne bodi mu kakor oderuh, tudi mu ne naloži obresti.

²⁵`If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;

²⁶Če sploh prejmeš plašč bližnjega svojega v zastavo, povrni mu ga, preden solnce zaide;

²⁶if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:

²⁷kajti to je edina odeja njegova, obleka za nagoto njegovo: v čem naj bi spal? In zgodi se, če bo vpil k meni, da ga uslišim, kajti jaz sem milostljiv.

²⁷for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.

²⁸Sodnikov ne kolni in kneza ljudstva svojega ne preklinjaj.

²⁸`God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.

²⁹Ne odlašaj darovati od obilosti žita svojega in tekočine svoje. Prvenca izmed sinov svojih daruj meni.

²⁹`Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

³⁰Enako delaj z govedjo in drobnico svojo: sedem dni naj ostane pri materi svoji, osmi dan jo pa daruj meni.In sveti možje mi bodite; zato mesa, ki je na polju raztrgano od zveri, ne jejte, temuč ga vrzite psom.

³⁰so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.

³¹In sveti možje mi bodite; zato mesa, ki je na polju raztrgano od zveri, ne jejte, temuč ga vrzite psom.

³¹`And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
