1 "Jei kas pavagia jautį ar avį ir jį papjauna ar parduoda, jis sugrąžins penkis jaučius už jautį ir keturias avis už avį.

2 Jei kas užklumpa vagį besilaužiantį ir suduoda jam taip, kad tas numiršta, jis nebaudžiamas už pralietą kraują.

3 Jei jis tai padarytų dienos metu, jis kaltinamas už pralietą kraują. Vagis privalo viską atlyginti. Jei jis nieko neturi, jį parduosite už vagystę.

4 Jei pas jį randamas dar gyvas pavogtas jautis ar avis, jis atlygins dvigubai.

5 Jei kas nugano lauką ar vynuogyną ir leidžia savo gyvulius ganytis svetimame lauke, tas privalo atlyginti geriausiu, kas yra jo paties lauke ar vynuogyne.

6 Jei ugnis išsiplečia ir apima erškėčius, ir sudega sustatyti pėdai ar tebeaugantys javai lauke, tai tas, kuris užkūrė ugnį, atlygina visą nuostolį.

7 Jei kas paveda savo artimui saugoti pinigus ar kitokius daiktus ir jie pavagiami iš jo namų, tai, suradus vagį, jis privalo dvigubai atlyginti.

8 Jei vagies nesuranda, namų savininką atvesite pas teisėjus, kad ištirtų, ar jis nepridėjo rankos prie savo artimo nuosavybės.

9 Kai kyla ginčas dėl nuosavybės: jaučio, asilo, avies, apsiausto ar dėl bet kokio kito pamesto daikto, apie kurį kitas tvirtina, kad tai jo,­abu privalo ateiti pas teisėjus. Kuris kaltas, privalo dvigubai atlyginti savo artimui.

10 Jei kas paveda savo artimui saugoti asilą, jautį, avį ar bet kokį gyvulį ir tas, niekam nematant, pastimpa, susižeidžia ar nuvaromas,

11 tas, kuris saugojo, turi prisiekti prieš Viešpatį, kad nepridėjo rankos prie artimo nuosavybės. Tada savininkas privalo sutikti su tuo ir jis neturės atlyginti nuostolio.

12 O jei bus pavogta iš jo, jis atlygins savininkui.

13 Jei gyvulį sudrasko žvėrys, jis privalo liekanas atgabenti įrodymui ir jam nereikės atlyginti už tai, kas sudraskyta.

14 Jei kas pasiskolina iš savo artimo ir tai sugadinama ar pastimpa, kai savininko nėra šalia, tai jis privalo atlyginti nuostolį.

15 Jei savininkas buvo šalia, atlyginti nereikia. Jei buvo išnuomota, reikia sumokėti tik už nuomą.

16 Jei kas suvedžioja mergaitę dar nesužadėtą, jis privalo ją vesti ir duoti jai kraitį.

17 Jei jos tėvas nesutinka jos išleisti už jo, tai jis sumokės tiek pinigų, kiek mokama kraičiui mergaitei.

18 Būrėjams neleisi gyviems išlikti.

19 Kas santykiauja su gyvuliu, turi būti baudžiamas mirtimi.

20 Kas aukoja kitiems dievams, o ne Viešpačiui, turi būti sunaikintas.

21 Ateivio neskriausi ir nespausi, nes jūs patys buvote ateiviai Egipto šalyje.

22 Neskriauskite našlės ar našlaičio.

23 Jei juos skriausi ir jie šauksis mano pagalbos, Aš tikrai išklausysiu jų šauksmą.

24 Tada savo rūstybėje išžudysiu jus kardu: jūsų žmonos liks našlėmis ir vaikai našlaičiais.

25 Jei paskolinsi pinigų mano tautos beturčiui, gyvenančiam šalia tavęs, nepasidaryk lupikas ir neapkrauk jo palūkanomis.

26 Jei paimsi kaip užstatą savo artimo apsiaustą, privalai jam grąžinti jį iki saulės laidos.

27 Nes tai yra jo vienintelis apsiaustas kūnui pridengti. Kuo kitu jis apsidengs miegodamas? Ir kai jis šauksis manęs, išklausysiu, nes esu gailestingas.

28 Nekalbėk pikta prieš tautos teisėjus ir nekeik tautos vadovo.

29 Savo javų ir vaisių pirmienų nedelsk pristatyti. Pirmagimį savo sūnų atiduosi man.

30 Taip pat pasielgsi su savo jaučiais ir avimis. Septynias dienas jis pasiliks prie savo motinos, aštuntąją dieną atiduosi jį man.

31 Jūs būsite šventi žmonės man, ir žvėries sudraskyto gyvulio nevalgysite; šuniui jį numeskite".

1 If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.

2 If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.

3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.

4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.

5 If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.

6 If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.

7 If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.

8 If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.

9 In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.

10 If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:

11 If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.

12 But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.

13 But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.

14 If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.

15 If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.

16 If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.

17 If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.

18 Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.

19 Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.

20 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.

21 Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.

22 Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.

23 If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;

24 And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.

25 If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.

26 If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:

27 For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.

28 You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.

29 Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.

30 In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.

31 You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
