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.

¹Keby niekto ukradol vola alebo nejaké dobytča, a zabije to alebo to predá, nahradí päť hoviad za vola alebo štyri kusy drobného stáda za dobytča.

²If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

²(Keby bol zlodej pristihnutý pri vlamačstve, a bude uderený tak, že zomrie, nebude pre neho viny na krvi.

³If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

³Ale ak vzišlo nad ním slnce, je pre neho vina na krvi.) Istotne nahradí a keď nemá čím, predá sa pre svoju krádež.

⁴If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

⁴Keď sa najde ukradené v jeho ruke, už či je to vôl či osol či nejaké dobytča, a je živé, nahradí dvojnásobne.

⁵“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 the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

⁵Keby niekto spásol pole alebo vinicu a pustil by svoje hovädo, aby sa páslo na cudzom poli, najlepším svojho poľa a najlepším svojej vinice nahradí.

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.

⁶Keby vyšiel oheň a našiel by tŕnie, a zhorel by stoh alebo stojace obilie alebo pole, istotne nahradí škodu ten, kto zapálil požiar.

⁷“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.

⁷Keby dal niekto svojmu blížnemu schovať peniaze alebo nádoby, a ukradlo by sa z domu toho človeka, keď sa najde zlodej, nahradí dvojnásobne.

⁸If 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.

⁸Keď sa nenajde zlodej, pán toho domu bude predvedený pred Bohov, či azda nesiahol svojou rukou na vec svojho blížneho.

⁹For 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.

⁹Pre každé také previnenie, už či ide o vola či osla či o nejaké dobytča či o rúcho či o čokoľvek ztratené, o ktorom by niekto vravel, že je to, vec obidvoch prijde až pred Bohov, a ten, koho Bohovia uznajú za vinného, nahradí svojmu blížnemu dvojnásobne.

¹⁰“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;

¹⁰Keby dal niekto svojmu blížnemu osla alebo vola alebo nejaké dobytča alebo jakékoľvek hovädo do opatery, a keby uhynulo alebo keby sa dolámalo alebo keby zajaté bolo tak, čo by nikto nevidel,

¹¹the oath of Yahweh 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.

¹¹prísaha Hospodinova bude medzi obidvoma, aby sa zvedelo, či azda nesiahol svojou rukou na vec svojho blížneho, a pán veci prijme prísahu; a tamten nenahradí.

¹²But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

¹²Ale keby sa ukradlo od neho, nahradí jeho pánovi.

¹³If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

¹³Ak by bolo roztrhané divou zverou, donesie to na svedoctvo; toho, čo bolo roztrhané, nenahradí.

¹⁴“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.

¹⁴A keby si niekto vypožičal niečo od svojho blížneho, a dolámalo by sa alebo by zomrelo, kým by jeho pán nebol s ním, istotne nahradí.

¹⁵If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

¹⁵Ak bol jeho pán s ním, nenahradí; ak to bolo najaté, prišlo za svoju mzdu.

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.

¹⁶A keby niekto zviedol pannu, ktorá ešte nebola zasnúbená, a ležal by s ňou, dá jej veno a vezme si ju za ženu.

¹⁷If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

¹⁷Ak by mu ju jej otec nechcel dať nijakým činom, odváži toľko striebra, koľko sa dáva pannám do vena.

¹⁸“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

¹⁸Čarodejnici nedáš žiť.

¹⁹“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

¹⁹Ktokoľvek by ležal s hovädom, istotne zomrie.

²⁰“He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

²⁰Ten, kto by obetoval bohom krome samému Hospodinovi, nech je vyhladený pod kliatbou na úplnú záhubu.

²¹“You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

²¹Pohostínovi neučiníš krivdy ani ho nebudeš utláčať, lebo ste boli pohostínmi v Egyptskej zemi.

²²“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

²²Nebudeš trápiť niktorú vdovu ani sirotu.

²³If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

²³Keby si ju trápil, sirotu, vtedy vedz, že ak bude kričať ku mne o pomoc, istotne počujem jej krik,

²⁴and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

²⁴a rozpáli sa môj hnev, a pobijem vás mečom, a tak budú vaše ženy vdovy a vaši synovia siroty.

²⁵“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.

²⁵Ak požičiaš peniaze môjmu ľudu, niektorému strápenému, ktorý je s tebou, nebudeš mu jako úžerník, nevložíš na neho úžerného úroku.

²⁶If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

²⁶Keby si vzal do zálohu rúcho svojho blížneho, do západu slnca mu to vrátiš,

²⁷for 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.

²⁷lebo to je jeho jediný odev; to je jeho rúcho na pokrytie jeho tela. V čomže by ležal? A stalo by sa, keby kričal ku mne o pomoc, že by som počul, lebo ja som milosrdný.

²⁸“You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

²⁸Sudcom nebudeš zlorečiť ani kniežaťu vo svojom ľude nebudeš kliať.

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.

²⁹Z hojnosti svojho obilia ani zo svojich tekutín neomeškáš doniesť prvotiny. Prvorodeného zo svojich synov dáš mne.

³⁰You 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.

³⁰Tak učiníš so svojím volom i so svojím drobným stádom: sedem dní bude so svojou materou; ôsmeho dňa ho dáš mne.

³¹“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.

³¹Budete mi svätými ľuďmi, a mäsa z roztrhaného zverou na poli nebudete jesť; hodíte to psovi.
