Exodus 22

1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

1 “倘若有人偷了别人的牛羊，然后宰了或卖了，他要用五头牛抵偿一头牛，四只羊抵偿一只羊。

2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.

2 倘若有人打死正入屋偷窃的贼，这人不算犯杀人罪。

3 But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.

3 倘若事情发生在白天，家主就犯了杀人罪。倘若盗贼被擒，他就要赔偿家主，若他一无所有，就要把他卖为奴隶作赔偿。

4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.

4 倘若他偷的牲畜如牛、羊或驴在他手上还活着，他要偿还失主双倍。

5 If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and allows them to stray so that they graze in someone else’s field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field or vineyard.

5 “倘若有人在田野或葡萄园里牧放牲畜，任由牲畜吃别人田里的农作物或葡萄，他必须拿自己田里最好的农作物或葡萄作赔偿。

6 If a fire breaks out and spreads to thornbushes so that it consumes stacked or standing grain, or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution.

6 倘若田间起火，烧着荆棘，以致烧掉了别人的庄稼、禾捆或整个田园，那点火的人就要赔偿一切损失。

7 If a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.

7 “倘若有人把金钱或物件交给邻居保管，结果在邻居家遭盗，盗贼被缉拿归案后要赔偿双倍；

8 If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has taken his neighbor’s property.

8 倘若没捉到盗贼，邻居就要到审判官那里证明自己没有偷拿。

9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost item that someone claims, ‘This is mine,’ both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.

9 倘若二人之间有什么纠纷，无论是为了牛、驴、羊、衣服或任何失物，争执的双方要把案件呈报审判官，审判官判谁败诉，谁就要赔偿双倍。

10 If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,

10 倘若有人把驴、牛、羊或别的牲畜交给邻居看管，牲畜死伤或被人抢走，并且无人看见，

11 an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.

11 看守的人就要在耶和华面前起誓没有动邻居的东西，这样失主就应当作罢，看守的人不用赔偿。

12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.

12 但倘若牲畜是被人偷去的，受托人就要赔偿失主。

13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.

13 倘若牲畜被野兽撕碎，受托人要把残骸带来当证据，无需赔偿被撕碎的牲畜。

14 If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.

14 倘若有人向邻居借牲畜，牲畜受伤或死掉，而当时物主不在场，借的人就要赔偿。

15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.

15 倘若物主当时在场，借的人就不用赔偿。倘若牲畜是租来的，租的人只需付租金不用赔偿。

16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

16 “倘若有人诱奸了尚未许配的处女，他就要交出聘礼，娶她为妻；

17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.

17 倘若女方家长反对婚事，男方要付出与聘礼等额的金钱给女方家长。

18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.

18 “凡行邪术的女人，必须被处死。

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

19 “与动物性交的人，必须被处死。

20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.

20 “献祭给耶和华以外的其他任何神明的人，必须被处死。

21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

21 “不可欺压在你们中间寄居的人，因为你们在埃及也做过寄居的人。

22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.

22 “不可亏待寡妇和孤儿，

23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.

23 倘若你们亏待他们，他们向我呼求，我必听他们的呼求，

24 My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.

24 向你们发怒，用刀杀掉你们，使你们的妻子变为寡妇，儿女成为孤儿。

25 If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.

25 “倘若有贫苦的同胞向你借钱，你不可像放债的一样收取利息。

26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,

26 倘若你的邻居把衣服给你作抵押，你要在日落之前把衣服还给他。

27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

27 因为他只有这件蔽体的衣服，若是没有，他晚上如何睡觉？他若呼求我，我必垂听，因为我是仁慈的。

28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.

28 不可亵渎上帝，也不可咒诅百姓的官长。

29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.

29 你们要向我献上五谷和新酒，不可迟延。要把你们的长子献给我。

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to Me.

30 也要献上头生的牛羊，它们生下来后可以留在母亲身边七天，第八天要献给我。

31 You are to be My holy people. You must not eat the meat of a mauled animal found in the field; you are to throw it to the dogs.

31 你们要做我圣洁的子民，不可吃田野间被野兽咬死的牲畜，要把它丢给狗吃。
