Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be smitten and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
1 CUANDO alguno hurtare buey ú oveja, y le degollare ó vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.
2 But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.
2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.
3 And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them twofold.
3 Si el sol hubiere sobre él salido, el [matador] será reo de homicidio: [el ladrón] habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.
4 And if anyone should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey ó asno ú oveja vivos, pagará el duplo.
5 And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.
5 Si alguno hiciere pacer campo ó viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.
6 And if anyone give to his neighbor money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief be found, he shall repay double.
6 Cuando rompiere un fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, ó haza, ó campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.
7 But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbor’s deposit,
7 Cuando alguno diere á su prójimo plata ó alhajas á guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.
8 according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatsoever in fact it may be—the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbor double.
8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado á los jueces, [para ver] si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.
9 And if anyone give to his neighbor to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble á su prójimo.
10 an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbor’s deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
10 Si alguno hubiere dado á su prójimo asno, ó buey, ú oveja, ó cualquier otro animal á guardar, y se muriere, ó se perniquebrare, ó fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;
11 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
11 Juramento de Jehová tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no echó su mano á la hacienda de su prójimo: y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.
12 And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, resarcirá á su dueño.
13 And if anyone borrow [ought] of his neighbor, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.
13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
14 But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.
14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada [bestia] de su prójimo, y fuere estropeada ó muerta, ausente su dueño, deberá pagar[la].
15 And if anyone deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.
16 And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.
16 Y si alguno engañare á alguna doncella que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
17 Ye shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 Every one that lies with a beast ye shall surely put to death.
18 A la hechicera no dejarás que viva.
19 He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.
19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.
20 And ye shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 El que sacrificare á dioses, excepto á sólo Jehová, será muerto.
21 Ye shall hurt no widow or orphan.
21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 And if ye should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.
22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 And I will be very angry, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.
23 Que si tú llegas á afligirle, y él á mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;
24 And if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee, thou shalt not be hard upon him, thou shalt not exact usury of him.
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré á cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
25 And if thou take thy neighbor’s garment for a pledge, thou shalt restore it to him before sunset.
25 Si dieres á mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.
26 For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will hearken to him, for I am merciful.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, á puestas del sol se lo volverás:
27 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of thy people.
27 Porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquél el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir: y será que cuando él á mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.
28 Thou shalt not keep back the firstfruits of thy threshing floor and press. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt give to me.
28 No denostarás á los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
29 So shalt thou do with thy calf and thy sheep and thine ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor: me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
30 And ye shall be holy men to me; and ye shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, ye shall cast it to the dog.
30 Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás. 31 Y habéis de serme varones santos: y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; á los perros la echaréis.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
On the contrary, these higher powers acquiesce heartily in the divine sentence in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed."

… intelligible and unchangeable law, from that heavenly council-chamber,--for they sit in counsel regarding us,--that holy Scripture, descended to us by the ministry of angels, in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed," --this Scripture, this law, these precepts, have been confirmed by such miracles, that it is …

But, not to speak of their character, it is written in the law of the true God, "He that sacrificeth unto any god save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." He, therefore, who uttered so menacing a commandment decreed that no worship should be given either to good or bad gods.
