2"If a thief is found while breaking into a house, and is struck down and dies, it is not a capital crime in that case,

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

3but if the sun has risen on him, then it is a capital crime in that case. A thief shall certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he is to be sold for his theft.

3But 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.

4If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession, whether an ox, a donkey or a sheep, he is to repay double.

7If 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.

8If the thief is not found, the owner of the house is to appear before the judges to see whether or not the thief took his neighbor's property.

8If 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.

9"In every ownership dispute involving an ox, donkey, sheep, garment, or anything that is lost where a person says, 'This is mine,' the case between the two of them is to come before the judges, and the one that the judges declare guilty is to repay double to his neighbor.

9In 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.

10"When a man gives a donkey, ox, sheep, or any animal to his neighbor for safe keeping, and it dies or is injured or is driven away when no one is looking,

10If 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,

11the two of them are to take an oath in the LORD's presence that the accused has not taken his neighbor's property. Its owner is to accept this, and the neighbor is not to make restitution.

11an 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.

12But if it was actually stolen from him, the neighbor is to make restitution to its owner.

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

13If it was torn to pieces, let the neighbor bring the remains as evidence, and he is not to make restitution for what was torn apart.

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

14"When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it's injured or dies while its owner was not with it, he is certainly to make restitution.

14If 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.

15If its owner was with it, he is not to make restitution. If it was hired, its fee covers the loss."

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

16"When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and has sexual relations with her, he must pay her bride price, and she is to become his wife.

16If 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.

17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he is to pay an amount equal to the bride price for virgins.

22You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.

23If you do mistreat them, they'll certainly cry out to me, and I'll immediately hear their cry.

24And I'll be angry and will kill you with swords, and your wives will become widows and your children orphans.

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

25"If you loan money to my people, to the poor among you, don't be like a creditor to them and don't impose interest on them.

26If you take your neighbor's coat as collateral, you are to return it to him by sunset,

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

27for it's his only covering; it's his outer garment, for what else can he sleep in? And when he cries out to me, I'll hear him, for I am gracious.

27because 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.
