Kutoka 22:9
Exodus 22:9 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Pakiwepo jambo lolote la mali isiyo halali, ikiwa ni maksai, punda, kondoo, mavazi, ama mali yoyote iliyopotea ambayo fulani atasema, ‘Hii ni mali yangu,’ pande zote mbili wataleta mashauri yao mbele ya waamuzi. Yule ambaye waamuzi watamwona kuwa na hatia atamlipa jirani yake mara mbili.
Exodus 22:9 in English
Exodus 22:9 · Berean Standard Bible
In 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.
Context
7“Kama mtu akimpa jirani yake fedha au mali nyingine amtunzie, na kama vikiibwa kutoka nyumba ya huyo jirani, kama mwizi atashikwa, lazima alipe mara mbili. 8Lakini mwizi asipopatikana, mwenye nyumba atafika mbele ya waamuzi ili kuthibitisha kuwa hakuchukua mali ya mwenzake. 9Pakiwepo jambo lolote la mali isiyo halali, ikiwa ni maksai, punda, kondoo, mavazi, ama mali yoyote iliyopotea ambayo fulani atasema, ‘Hii ni mali yangu,’ pande zote mbili wataleta mashauri yao mbele ya waamuzi. Yule ambaye waamuzi watamwona kuwa na hatia atamlipa jirani yake mara mbili. 10“Kama mtu akimpa jirani yake punda, ngʼombe, kondoo au mnyama mwingine yeyote amtunzie, akifa au akijeruhiwa au akichukuliwa wakati haonekani na mtu yeyote, 11jambo hili kati yao wawili litaamuliwa kwa kuapa kiapo mbele za Bwana, kwamba huyo jirani hakuhusika na wizi wa mali ya jirani yake. Mwenye mali itampasa akubali jambo hili, na hakuna malipo yatakayohitajika.
