Exodus 22

English Standard Version

1 [1] “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. (2Sa 12:6; Pr 6:31; Lu 19:8) 2 [2] If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, (Mt 24:43) 3 but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He[3] shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. (Ex 21:2) 4 If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double. (Ex 21:16; Ex 22:1) 5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over, or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best in his own field and in his own vineyard. 6 “If fire breaks out and catches in thorns so that the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, he who started the fire shall make full restitution. 7 “If a man gives to his neighbor money or goods to keep safe, and it is stolen from the man’s house, then, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. (Ex 22:4) 8 If the thief is not found, the owner of the house shall come near to God to show whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property. 9 For every breach of trust, whether it is for an ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for a cloak, or for any kind of lost thing, of which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before God. The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor. 10 “If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep safe, and it dies or is injured or is driven away, without anyone seeing it, 11 an oath by the Lord shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the oath, and he shall not make restitution. (Heb 6:16) 12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. (Ge 31:39) 13 If it is torn by beasts, let him bring it as evidence. He shall not make restitution for what has been torn. 14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is injured or dies, the owner not being with it, he shall make full restitution. 15 If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee.[4] 



16 “If a man seduces a virgin[5] who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price[6] for her and make her his wife. (De 22:28) 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins. (Ge 34:12; Ex 22:16; 1Sa 18:25) 18 “You shall not permit a sorceress to live. (Le 19:26; Le 19:31; Le 20:27; De 18:10; 1Sa 28:3; 1Sa 28:9) 19 “Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death. (Le 18:23; Le 20:15; De 27:21) 20 “Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the Lord alone, shall be devoted to destruction.[7] (Nu 25:2; Nu 25:7; De 13:1; De 17:2; Jos 23:16) 21 “You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. (Ex 23:9; Le 19:33; De 10:18; Jer 7:6; Zec 7:10; Mal 3:5) 22 You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. (De 24:17; De 27:19; Ps 94:6; Isa 1:17; Isa 1:23; Isa 10:2; Eze 22:7; Zec 7:10; Jas 1:27) 23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, (Job 34:28; Ps 18:6; Ps 145:19; Lu 18:7; Jas 5:4) 24 and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless. (Ps 109:9; La 5:3) 25 “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him. (Le 25:35; De 23:19; Ne 5:7; Ps 15:5; Pr 28:8; Eze 18:8; Eze 18:13; Eze 18:17; Eze 22:12) 26 If ever you take your neighbor’s cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, (De 24:13; De 24:17; Pr 20:16; Pr 22:27; Eze 18:7; Eze 18:16; Am 2:8) 27 for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate. (Ex 22:23; Ex 34:6; 2Ch 30:9; Ne 9:17) 28 “You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people. (2Sa 19:21; Ec 10:20; Ac 23:5; Jud 1:8) 29 “You shall not delay to offer from the fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me. (Ex 13:2) 30 You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me. (Le 22:27; De 15:19) 31 “You shall be consecrated to me. Therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs. (Ex 19:6; Le 11:44; Le 22:8; Eze 4:14; Eze 44:31; Mt 7:6)

الكتاب المقدس



1 وَإذَا سَرَقَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ خَرُوفاً وَذَبَحَهُ أَوْ بَاعَهُ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الثَّوْرِ بِخَمْسَةِ ثِيرَانٍ، وَصَاحِبَ الْخَرُوفِ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ. 2 إِذَا ضُبِطَ السَّارِقُ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ لَيْلاً وَضُرِبَ فَمَاتَ، يَذْهَبُ دَمُهُ هَدْراً. 3 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ ضُبِطَ بَعْدَ شُرُوقِ الشَّمْسِ وَهُوَ يَنْقُبُ وَضُرِبَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، يَكُونُ الضَّارِبُ مُطَالَباً بِدَمِهِ. عَلَى اللِّصِّ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ تَعْوِيضاً. إِنْ كَانَ مُعْدَماً، يُبَاعُ بِسَرِقَتِهِ. 4 وَإذَا وُجِدَ الْحَيَوَانُ الْمَسْرُوقُ حَيًّا فِي حَوْزَتِهِ، ثَوْراً كَانَ أَمْ حِمَاراً أَمْ خَرُوفاً، يُعَوِّضُ السَّارِقُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ. 5 إِذَا سَرَّحَ إِنْسَانٌ بَهَائِمَهُ لِتَرْعَى فِي حَقْلِ جَارِهِ أَوِ كَرْمِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَ الْحَقْلِ أَوِ الْكَرْمِ مِنْ أَجْوَدِ نِتَاجِ حَقْلِهِ أَوْ كَرْمِهِ. 6 إذَا انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ وَامْتَدَّتْ مِنَ الشَّوْكِ إِلَى أَكْدَاسِ الْقَمْحِ أَوِ السَّنَابِلِ النَّامِيَةِ أَوْ مَزْرُوعَاتِ الْحُقُولِ، فَعَلَى مَنْ أَوْقَدَ النَّارَ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ الْخَسَارَةَ. 7 إذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ فِضَّةً أَوْ أَمْتِعَةً أَمَانَةً، ثُمَّ سُرِقَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَعَلَى السَّارِقِ إِذَا اكْتُشِفَ أَمْرُهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ ضِعْفَيْ قِيمَةِ الْمَسْرُوقِ كَتَعْوِيضٍ. 8 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا لَمْ يُقْبَضْ عَلَى اللِّصِّ، يَمْثُلُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ لِيُقَرِّرُوا إنْ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي امْتَدَّتْ يَدُهُ إِلَى أَمْتِعَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. 9 فِي كُلِّ قَضِيَّةِ حِيَازَةٍ غَيْرِ شَرْعِيَّةٍ سَوَاءَ أَكَانَتْ مُتَعَلِّقَةً بِثَوْبٍ أَمْ حِمَارٍ أَمْ خَرُوفٍ أَمْ ثَوْرٍ أَمْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ مَفْقُودٍ، يَدَّعِي شَخْصٌ مَا أَنَّهُ يمْلِكُهُ، يَمْثُلُ الطَّرَفَانِ الْمُتَنَازِعَانِ أَمَامَ الْقُضَاةِ، وَمَنْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُضَاةُ بِالذَّنْبِ يُعَوِّضُ صَاحِبَهُ بِمِثْلَيْنِ. 10 إِذَا أَوْدَعَ إِنْسَانٌ ثَوْراً أَوْ حِمَاراً أَوْ بَهِيمَةً أَمَانَةً، فَمَاتَ أَوْ تَأَذَّى أَوْ سُرِقَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ. 11 يَحْلِفُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ بِالرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى مِلْكِ جَارِهِ، فَيَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ الْيَمِينَ وَلا يَأْخُذُ تَعْوِيضاً. 12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سُرِقَ مِنْهُ بِفِعْلِ الْإِهْمَالِ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَ صَاحِبَهُ. 13 أَمَّا إِذَا افْتُرِسَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِأَشْلائِهِ شَهَادَةً عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلا يُطَالَبُ بِالتَّعْوِيضِ عَنِ الْحَيَوَانِ الْمُفْتَرَسِ. 14 إِذَا اسْتَعَارَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ شَيْئاً فَانْكَسَرَ أَوْ مَاتَ فِي غِيَابِ صَاحِبِهِ، يَدْفَعُ المُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً. 15 لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُ الْحَيَوَانِ حَاضِراً، فَلا يَدْفَعُ الْمُسْتَعِيرُ تَعْوِيضاً. أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ الْحَيَوَانُ أَوِ الشَّيْءُ مُسْتَأْجَراً، فَتُغَطِّي الأُجْرَةُ الْمَدْفُوعَةُ قِيمَةَ الْخَسَارَةِ. 



16 إِذَا رَاوَدَ رَجُلٌ عَذْرَاءَ غَيْرَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ، وَعَاشَرَهَا، يَدْفَعُ مَهْرَهَا وَيَتَزَوَّجُهَا، 17 وَإِنْ أَبَى وَالِدُهَا قَطْعِيًّا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْهُ، يَتَحَتَّمْ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَدْفَعَ لَهُ مَهْرَ العَذَارَى. 18 لَا تَدَعْ سَاحِرَةً تَعِيشُ. 19 كُلُّ مَنْ ضَاجَعَ بَهِيمَةً حَتْماً يُقْتَلُ. 20 مَنْ يُقَرِّبْ ذَبَائِحَ لِآلِهَةٍ غَيْرِ الرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، يُبَدْ. 21 لَا تَضْطَهِدْ غَرِيباً وَلا تُضَايِقْهُ، فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. 22 لَا تُسِئْ إِلَى أَرْمَلَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ، 23 لأَنَّكَ إِنْ أَسَأْتَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَصَرَخَا إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعْ صُرَاخَهُمَا، 24 فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي وَأَقْتُلُكُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَتُصْبِحُ زَوْجَاتُكُمْ أَرَامِلَ وَأَوْلادُكُمْ يَتَامَى. 25 إِنْ أَقْرَضْتَ فَقِيراً مِنْ شَعْبِيَ الْمُقِيمِ عِنْدَكَ فَلا تُعَامِلْهُ كَالْمُرَابيِ، وَلا تَتَقَاضَ مِنْهُ فَائِدَةً. 26 إِذَا اسْتَرْهَنْتَ ثَوْبَ صَاحِبِكَ لِقَاءَ دَيْنٍ، فَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ، 27 لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبَ هُوَ ثَوْبُهُ الَّذِي يَقِي بِهِ بَدَنَهُ، وَإلَّا فَبِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَنَامُ؟ إِذَا صَرَخَ إِلَيَّ أَسْمَعُهُ لأَنِّي رَحِيمٌ. 28 لَا تَشْتِمِ الْقُضَاةَ وَلا تَلْعَنْ رُؤَسَاءَ شَعْبِكَ. 29 لَا تُؤَخِّرْ تَقْدِيمَ بَاكُورَةِ مَحْصُولِ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمَعْصَرَتِكَ، وَأَعْطِنِي أَبْكَارَ بَنِيكَ. 30 وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِبَقَرِكَ وَغَنَمِكَ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُبْقِي الْبِكْرَ مَعَ أُمِّهِ، وَفِي يَوْمِهِ الثَّامِنِ تُقَدِّمُهُ لِي. 31 وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً. لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ فَرِيسَةٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، بَلِ اطْرَحُوهُ طَعَاماً لِلْكِلابِ.
