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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

⁵Če kdo popase njivo ali vinograd in izpusti živino svojo, da naj se pase na njivi drugega, povrne škodo z najboljšim, kar ima na njivi svoji in v vinogradu svojem.

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.

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.

⁷Če kdo shrani pri svojem prijatelju denar ali blago, in bode ukradeno iz hiše tega moža: ako se tat najde, mora dvojno povrniti;

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.

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

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.

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.

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;

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:

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

²⁰Kdor daruje bogovom mimo samega GOSPODA, bodi iztrebljen.

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

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

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

²²Nobene vdove in sirote ne žalite.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

²⁸Sodnikov ne kolni in kneza ljudstva svojega ne preklinjaj.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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