Exodus 22

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

si quis furatus fuerit bovem aut ovem et occiderit vel vendiderit quinque boves pro uno bove restituet et quattuor oves pro una ove

If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.

si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit percussor non erit reus sanguinis

If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

quod si orto sole hoc fecerit homicidium perpetravit et ipse morietur si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat venundabitur

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est vivens sive bos sive asinus sive ovis duplum restituet

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena quicquid optimum habuerit in agro suo vel in vinea pro damni aestimatione restituet

If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

si egressus ignis invenerit spinas et conprehenderit acervos frugum sive stantes segetes in agris reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam aut vas in custodiam et ab eo qui susceperat furto ablata fuerint si invenitur fur duplum reddet

If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

si latet dominus domus adplicabitur ad deos et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi sui

For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

ad perpetrandam fraudem tam in bove quam in asino et ove ac vestimento et quicquid damnum inferre potest ad deos utriusque causa perveniet et si illi iudicaverint duplum restituet proximo suo

If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum bovem ovem et omne iumentum ad custodiam et mortuum fuerit aut debilitatum vel captum ab hostibus nullusque hoc viderit

Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

iusiurandum erit in medio quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui suscipietque dominus iuramentum et ille reddere non cogetur

And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

quod si furto ablatum fuerit restituet damnum domino

If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

si comestum a bestia deferet ad eum quod occisum est et non restituet

And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

qui a proximo suo quicquam horum mutuo postularit et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente reddere conpelletur

But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.

quod si inpraesentiarum fuit dominus non restituet maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam et dormierit cum ea dotabit eam et habebit uxorem

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

si pater virginis dare noluerit reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis quam virgines accipere consuerunt

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

maleficos non patieris vivere

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

qui coierit cum iumento morte moriatur

He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

qui immolat diis occidetur praeter Domino soli

Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

advenam non contristabis neque adfliges eum advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in terra Aegypti

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

viduae et pupillo non nocebitis

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

si laeseritis eos vociferabuntur ad me et ego audiam clamorem eorum

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

et indignabitur furor meus percutiamque vos gladio et erunt uxores vestrae viduae et filii vestri pupilli

If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum non urgues eum quasi exactor nec usuris opprimes

If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum ante solis occasum redde ei

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

ipsum enim est solum quo operitur indumentum carnis eius nec habet aliud in quo dormiat si clamaverit ad me exaudiam eum quia misericors sum

Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

diis non detrahes et principi populi tui non maledices

Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

decimas tuas et primitias non tardabis offerre primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi

Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

de bubus quoque et ovibus similiter facies septem diebus sit cum matre sua die octavo reddes illum mihi

And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

viri sancti eritis mihi carnem quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata non comedetis sed proicietis canibus
