Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 If any man steal an ox or a sheep, and kill or sell it: he shall restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
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 If a thief be found breaking open a house or undermining it, and be wounded so as to die: he that slew him shall not be guilty of blood.
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 But if he did this when the sun is risen, he hath committed murder, and he shall die. If he have not wherewith to make restitution for the theft, he shall be sold.
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 If that which he stole be found with him, alive, either ox, or ass, or sheep: he shall restore double.
4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey ó asno ú oveja vivos, pagará el duplo.
5 If any man hurt a field or a vineyard, and put in his beast to feed upon that which is other men’s: he shall restore the best of whatsoever he hath in his own field, or in his vineyard, according to the estimation of the damage.
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 If a fire breaking out light upon thorns, and catch stacks of corn, or corn standing in the fields, he that kindled the fire shall make good the loss.
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 If a man deliver money, or any vessel unto his friend to keep, and they be stolen away from him that received them: if the thief be found he shall restore double:
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 If the thief be not known, the master of the house shall be brought to the gods, and shall swear that he did not lay his hand upon his neighbour’s goods,
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 To do any fraud, either in ox, or in ass, or sheep, or raiment, or any thing that may bring damage: the cause of both parties shall come to the gods: and if they give judgment, he shall restore double to his neighbour.
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 If a man deliver ass, ox, sheep, or any beast, to his neighbour’s custody, and it die, or be hurt, or be taken by enemies, and no man saw it:
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 There shall be an oath between them, that he did not put forth his hand to his neighbour’s goods: and the owner shall accept of the oath; and he shall not be compelled to make restitution.
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 But if it were taken away by stealth, he shall make the loss good to the owner.
12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, resarcirá á su dueño.
13 If it were eaten by a beast, let him bring to him that which was slain, and he shall not make restitution.
13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.
14 If a man borrow of his neighbour any of these things, and it be hurt or die, the owner not being present, he shall be obliged to make restitution.
14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada [bestia] de su prójimo, y fuere estropeada ó muerta, ausente su dueño, deberá pagar[la].
15 But if the owner be present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it were hired and came for the hire of his work.
15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.
16 If a man seduce a virgin not yet espoused, and lie with her: he shall endow her, and have her to wife.
16 Y si alguno engañare á alguna doncella que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.
17 If the maid’s father will not give her to him, he shall give money according to the dowry, which virgins are wont to receive.
17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.
18 Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live.
18 A la hechicera no dejarás que viva.
19 Whosoever copulateth with a beast shall be put to death.
19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.
20 He that sacrificeth to gods, shall be put to death, save only to the Lord.
20 El que sacrificare á dioses, excepto á sólo Jehová, será muerto.
21 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, nor afflict him: for yourselves also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.
22 You shall not hurt a widow or an orphan.
22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.
23 If you hurt them they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry:
23 Que si tú llegas á afligirle, y él á mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;
24 And my rage shall be enkindled, and I will strike you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré á cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor, that dwelleth with thee, thou shalt not be hard upon them as an extortioner, nor oppress them with usuries.
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 If thou take of thy neighbour a garment in pledge, thou shalt give it him again before sunset.
26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, á puestas del sol se lo volverás:
27 For that same is the only thing wherewith he is covered, the clothing of his body, neither hath he any other to sleep in: if he cry to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
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 speak ill of the gods, and the prince of thy people thou shalt not curse.
28 No denostarás á los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.
29 Thou shalt not delay to pay thy tithes and thy firstfruits: thou shalt give the firstborn of thy sons to me.
29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor: me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.
30 Thou shalt do the same with the firstborn of thy oxen also and sheep: seven days let it be with its dam, the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
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 You shall be holy men to me: the flesh that beasts have tasted of before, you shall not eat, but shall cast it to the dogs.
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.
