Exodus 22
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Mga Kautusan Tungkol sa mga Ari-arian
22 “Kung nagnakaw ang isang tao ng baka o tupa, at kinatay niya ito o ipinagbili, kailangang magbayad siya. Sa isang bakang ninakaw niya, magbabayad siya ng limang baka. At sa isang tupang ninakaw niya, magbabayad siya ng apat na tupa.
2 “Kung nahuli siya sa gabi na aktong nagnanakaw, at napatay siya, walang pananagutan ang nakapatay sa kanya. 3 Pero kung nangyari ito sa araw, may pananagutan ang nakapatay sa magnanakaw.
“Ang magnanakaw na nahuli ay dapat magbayad sa ninakaw niya. Kung wala siyang maibabayad, ipagbibili siya bilang alipin at ang pinagbilhan ang ibabayad sa ninakaw niya. 4 Kung ang baka o asno o tupa na ninakaw niya ay nasa kanya pa, babayaran niya ito ng doble.
5 “Kung nanginain ang mga hayop sa taniman ng iba, kailangang bayaran ng may-ari ng pinakamagandang ani ng kanyang bukid o kaya ng kanyang ubasan ang nakaing mga pananim.
6 “Kung may nagsiga at kumalat ang apoy sa mga damo hanggang sa taniman ng ibang tao, kailangang bayaran ng nagsiga ang mga pananim na nasira.
7 “Kung nagpatago ang isang tao ng pera o kahit anong bagay sa bahay ng kapitbahay niya at ninakaw ito. Kung mahuhuli ang nagnakaw, kailangang magbayad siya ng doble. 8 Pero kung hindi nahuli ang magnanakaw, haharap sa presensya ng Dios[a] ang pinagpataguan para malaman kung kinuha niya o hindi ang ipinatago sa kanya.
9 “Kung may dalawang taong nagtatalo tungkol sa kung sino sa kanila ang may-ari ng isang pag-aari kagaya ng baka, asno, tupa, damit o kahit anong bagay, dapat nilang dalhin ang kaso nila sa presensya ng Dios.[b] Ang taong nagkasala ayon sa desisyon ng Dios ay magbabayad ng doble sa totoong may-ari.
10 “Kung pinaalagaan ng isang tao ang kanyang baka, asno, tupa o kahit anong hayop sa kanyang kapwa, at namatay ito, o nasugatan o nawala nang walang nakakita. 11 Dapat pumunta ang nag-alaga sa presensya ng Panginoon at susumpang wala siyang nalalaman tungkol sa nangyari. Dapat itong paniwalaan ng may-ari, at hindi na siya pagbabayarin. 12 Pero kung ninakaw ang hayop, dapat magbayad ang nag-alaga sa may-ari. 13 Kung napatay ng mabangis na hayop ang hayop, kailangang dalhin niya ang natirang parte ng hayop bilang patunay, at hindi na niya ito kailangang bayaran.
14 “Kung may nanghiram ng hayop sa kanyang kapwa at nasugatan ito o namatay, at wala ang may-ari nang mangyari ito. Dapat itong bayaran ng nanghiram. 15 Pero kung nariyan ang may-ari nang mangyari ito, hindi dapat magbayad ang nanghiram. Kung nirentahan ang hayop, ang perang ibinayad sa renta ang ibabayad sa nasugatan o namatay na hayop.
Ang Iba pang mga Kautusan
16 “Kung linlangin ng isang lalaki ang dalagang malapit nang ikasal, at sumiping siya sa kanya, dapat magbayad ang lalaki sa pamilya ng dalaga ng dote, at magiging asawa niya ang dalaga. 17 Kung hindi pumayag ang ama ng dalaga na ibigay ang kanyang anak na maging asawa ng nasabing lalaki, magbabayad pa rin ang lalaki ng dote.
18 “Patayin ninyo ang mga mangkukulam.
19 “Ang sinumang makikipagtalik sa hayop ay papatayin.
20 “Ang sinumang maghahandog sa ibang dios maliban sa akin ay kailangang patayin.[c]
21 “Huwag ninyong pagmamalupitan ang mga dayuhan[d] dahil mga dayuhan din kayo noon sa Egipto.
22 “Huwag ninyong aapihin ang mga biyuda at mga ulila. 23 Kung gagawin ninyo ito, at humingi sila ng tulong sa akin, siguradong tutulungan ko sila. 24 Talagang magagalit ako sa inyo at papatayin ko kayo sa labanan.[e] Mabibiyuda ang inyong mga asawa at mauulila ang inyong mga anak.
25 “Kung magpapahiram kayo ng pera sa sinuman sa mamamayan kong mahihirap na naninirahang kasama ninyo, huwag ninyong tutubuan gaya ng ginagawa ng mga nagpapahiram ng pera. 26 Kung kukunin ninyo ang balabal ng kapwa ninyo bilang garantiya na magbabayad siya ng utang sa iyo, isauli mo ito sa kanya bago lumubog ang araw. 27 Sapagkat ito lang ang pangtakip niya sa kanyang katawan kapag natutulog siya sa gabi. Kung hihingi siya ng tulong sa akin, tutulungan ko siya dahil maawain ako.
28 “Huwag ninyong lalapastanganin ang Dios at susumpain ang inyong pinuno.
29 “Huwag ninyong kalilimutan ang paghahandog sa akin mula sa inyong mga ani, alak at mga langis.
“Italaga rin ninyo sa akin ang inyong mga panganay na lalaki, 30 at ang panganay na mga baka at tupa. Dapat maiwan sa ina ang bagong panganak na baka at tupa sa loob ng pitong araw. Sa ikawalong araw, maaari na itong ihandog sa akin.
31 “Kayo ang pinili kong mamamayan, kaya hindi kayo kakain ng karne ng kahit anong hayop na pinatay ng mababangis na hayop. Ipakain ninyo ito sa mga aso.

Exodus 22
King James Version
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.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
3 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.
4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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:
11 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.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
14 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.
15 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.
16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 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.
26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
27 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.
28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
29 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.
30 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.
31 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.
Exodus 22
New King James Version
Responsibility for Property
22 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall (A)restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If the thief is found (B)breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be (C)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 (D)sold[a] for his theft. 4 If the theft is certainly (E)found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall (F)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 (G)delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, (H)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 (I)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 (J)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 (K)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 (L)if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. 13 If it is (M)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.
Moral and Ceremonial Principles
16 (N)“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 (O)bride-price of virgins.
18 (P)“You shall not permit a sorceress to live.
19 (Q)“Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 (R)“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 (S)“You shall neither mistreat a [b]stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 (T)“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you afflict them in any way, and they (U)cry at all to Me, I will surely (V)hear their cry; 24 and My (W)wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; (X)your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 (Y)“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 (Z)interest. 26 (AA)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 (AB)gracious.
28 (AC)“You shall not revile God, nor curse a (AD)ruler of your people.
29 “You shall not delay to offer (AE)the first of your ripe produce and your juices. (AF)The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me. 30 (AG)Likewise you shall do with your oxen and your sheep. It shall be with its mother (AH)seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
31 “And you shall be (AI)holy men to Me: (AJ)you shall not eat meat torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
