Exodus 22

“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. 3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.

5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.

6 “If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 “If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. 8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

9 “For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor. 10 If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it, 11 then an oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good. 12 But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. 13 If it is torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.

14 “And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good. 15 If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

16 “If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

18 “You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

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

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

21 “You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 “If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest. 26 If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down. 27 For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.

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

29 “You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me. 30 Likewise you shall do with your oxen and your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

31 “And you shall be holy men to Me: you shall not eat meat torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.

出埃及記 22

「人若偷牛或羊，無論是宰了是賣了，他就要以五牛賠一牛，四羊賠一羊。 2 人若遇見賊挖窟窿，把賊打了，以至於死，就不能為他有流血的罪。 3 若太陽已經出來，就為他有流血的罪。賊若被拿，總要賠還。若他一無所有，就要被賣，頂他所偷的物。 4 若他所偷的，或牛，或驢，或羊，仍在他手下存活，他就要加倍賠還。

5 「人若在田間或在葡萄園裡放牲畜，任憑牲畜上別人的田裡去吃，就必拿自己田間上好的和葡萄園上好的賠還。

6 「若點火焚燒荊棘，以致將別人堆積的禾捆、站著的禾稼或是田園，都燒盡了，那點火的必要賠還。

7 「人若將銀錢或家具交付鄰舍看守，這物從那人的家被偷去，若把賊找到了，賊要加倍賠還。 8 若找不到賊，那家主必就近審判官，要看看他拿了原主的物件沒有。 9 兩個人的案件，無論是為什麼過犯，或是為牛，為驢，為羊，為衣裳，或是為什麼失掉之物，有一人說『這是我的』，兩造就要將案件稟告審判官，審判官定誰有罪，誰就要加倍賠還。

10 「人若將驢，或牛，或羊，或別的牲畜，交付鄰舍看守，牲畜或死，或受傷，或被趕去，無人看見， 11 那看守的人要憑著耶和華起誓，手裡未曾拿鄰舍的物，本主就要罷休，看守的人不必賠還。 12 牲畜若從看守的那裡被偷去，他就要賠還本主。 13 若被野獸撕碎，看守的要帶來當做證據，所撕的不必賠還。

14 「人若向鄰舍借什麼，所借的或受傷，或死，本主沒有同在一處，借的人總要賠還。 15 若本主同在一處，他就不必賠還。若是雇的，也不必賠還，本是為雇價來的。

16 「人若引誘沒有受聘的處女，與她行淫，他總要交出聘禮，娶她為妻。 17 若女子的父親決不肯將女子給他，他就要按處女的聘禮，交出錢來。

18 「行邪術的女人，不可容她存活。

19 「凡與獸淫合的，總要把他治死。

20 「祭祀別神，不單單祭祀耶和華的，那人必要滅絕。

21 「不可虧負寄居的，也不可欺壓他，因為你們在埃及地也做過寄居的。 22 不可苦待寡婦和孤兒。 23 若是苦待他們一點，他們向我一哀求，我總要聽他們的哀聲， 24 並要發烈怒，用刀殺你們，使你們的妻子為寡婦，兒女為孤兒。

25 「我民中有貧窮人與你同住，你若借錢給他，不可如放債的向他取利。 26 你即或拿鄰舍的衣服做當頭，必在日落以先歸還他。 27 因他只有這一件當蓋頭，是他蓋身的衣服，若是沒有，他拿什麼睡覺呢？他哀求我，我就應允，因為我是有恩惠的。

28 「不可毀謗神，也不可毀謗你百姓的官長。 29 你要從你莊稼中的穀和酒榨中滴出來的酒拿來獻上，不可遲延。你要將頭生的兒子歸給我。 30 你牛羊頭生的，也要這樣，七天當跟著母，第八天要歸給我。 31 你要在我面前為聖潔的人，因此，田間被野獸撕裂牲畜的肉，你們不可吃，要丟給狗吃。
