Exodus 22
1 ఒకడు ఎద్దునైనను గొఱ్ఱనైనను దొంగిలించి దాని అమి్మనను చంపినను ఆ యెద్దుకు ప్రతిగా అయిదు ఎద్దులను ఆ గొఱ్ఱకు ప్రతిగా నాలుగు గొఱ్ఱలను ఇయ్య వలెను.
2 దొంగ కన్నము వేయుచుండగా వాడు దొరికి చచ్చునట్లు కొట్టబడినయెడల అందువలన రక్తాపరాధ ముండదు.
3 సూర్యుడు ఉదయించిన తరువాత వాని కొట్టినయెడల వానికి రక్తాపరాధముండును; వాడు సరిగా సొమ్ము మరల చెల్లింపవలెను. వానికేమియు లేకపోయిన యెడల వాడు దొంగతనము చేసినందున అమ్మబడవలెను.
4 వాడు దొంగిలినది ఎద్దయినను గాడిదయైనను గొఱ్ఱయైనను సరే అది ప్రాణముతో వానియొద్ద దొరికినయెడల రెండం తలు చెల్లింపవలెను.
5 ఒకడు చేనునైనను ద్రాక్షతోటనైనను మేపుటకు తన పశువును విడిపించగా ఆ పశువు వేరొకని చేను మేసినయెడల అతడు తన చేలలోని మంచిదియు ద్రాక్ష తోటలోని మంచిదియు దానికి ప్రతిగా నియ్యవలెను.
6 అగ్ని రగిలి ముండ్ల కంపలు అంటుకొనుటవలన పంట కుప్పయైనను పంటపైరైనను చేనైనను కాలి పోయినయెడల అగ్ని నంటించినవాడు ఆ నష్టమును అచ్చుకొనవలెను.
7 ఒకడు సొమ్మయినను సామానై నను జాగ్రత్తపెట్టుటకు తన పొరుగువానికి అప్పగించినప్పుడు అది ఆ మనుష్యుని యింట నుండి దొంగి లింపబడి ఆ దొంగ దొరికినయెడల వాడు దానికి రెండంతలు అచ్చుకొనవలెను;
8 ఆ దొంగ దొరకని యెడల ఆ యింటి యజమానుడు తన పొరుగువాని పదార్థములను తీసికొనెనో లేదో పరిష్కారమగుటకై దేవునియొద్దకు రావలెను.
9 ప్రతి విధమైన ద్రోహమును గూర్చి, అనగా ఎద్దునుగూర్చి గాడిదనుగూర్చి గొఱ్ఱను గూర్చి బట్టనుగూర్చి పోయినదాని నొకడు చూచి యిది నాదని చెప్పిన దానిగూర్చి ఆ యిద్దరి వ్యాజ్యెము దేవుని యొద్దకు తేబడవలెను. దేవుడు ఎవనిమీద నేరము స్థాపిం చునో వాడు తన పొరుగువానికి రెండంతలు అచ్చుకొన వలెను.
10 ఒకడు గాడిదనైనను ఎద్దునైనను గొఱ్ఱనైనను మరి ఏ జంతువునైనను కాపాడుటకు తన పొరుగువానికి అప్ప గించినమీదట, అది చచ్చినను హాని పొందినను, ఎవడును చూడకుండగా తోలుకొని పోబడినను,
11 వాడు తన పొరుగువాని సొమ్మును తీసికొనలేదనుటకు యెహోవా ప్రమాణము వారిద్దరిమధ్య నుండవలెను. సొత్తుదారుడు ఆ ప్రమాణమును అంగీకరింపవలెను; ఆ నష్టమును అచ్చుకొననక్కరలేదు.
12 అది నిజముగా వానియొద్దనుండి దొంగిలబడినయెడల సొత్తుదారునికి ఆ నష్టమును అచ్చు కొనవలెను.
13 అది నిజముగా చీల్చబడినయెడల వాడు సాక్ష్యముకొరకు దాని తేవలెను; చీల్చబడినదాని నష్టమును అచ్చుకొన నక్కరలేదు.
14 ఒకడు తన పొరుగువానియొద్ద దేనినైనను బదులు దీసి కొనిపోగా దాని యజమానుడు దానియొద్ద లేనప్పుడు, అది హానిపొందినను చచ్చినను దాని నష్టమును అచ్చుకొన వలెను.
15 దాని యజమానుడు దానితో నుండిన యెడల దాని నష్టమును అచ్చుకొననక్కరలేదు. అది అద్దెదైన యెడల అది దాని అద్దెకు వచ్చెను.
16 ఒకడు ప్రధానము చేయబడని ఒక కన్యకను మరులుకొల్పి ఆమెతో శయ నించినయెడల ఆమె నిమిత్తము ఓలి ఇచ్చి ఆమెను పెండ్లి చేసికొనవలెను.
17 ఆమె తండ్రి ఆమెను వానికి ఇయ్యనొల్లని యెడల వాడు కన్యకల ఓలిచొప్పున సొమ్ము చెల్లింపవలెను.
18 శకునము చెప్పుదానిని బ్రదుకనియ్యకూడదు.
19 మృగసంయోగముచేయు ప్రతివాడు నిశ్చయముగా మరణశిక్ష నొందవలెను.
20 యోహోవాకు మాత్రమే గాక వేరొక దేవునికి బలి అర్పించువాడు శాపగ్రస్తుడు.
21 పరదేశిని విసికింపవద్దు, బాధింపవద్దు; మీరు ఐగుప్తు దేశ ములో పరదేశులై యుంటిరి గదా.
22 విధవరాలినైనను దిక్కులేని పిల్లనైనను బాధపెట్ట కూడదు.
23 వారు నీచేత ఏ విధముగా నైనను బాధనొంది నాకు మొఱ పెట్టినయెడల నేను నిశ్చయముగా వారి మొఱను విందును.
24 నా కోపాగ్ని రవులుకొని మిమ్మును కత్తిచేత చంపించెదను, మీ భార్యలు విధవ రాండ్రగుదురు, మీ పిల్లలు దిక్కు లేనివారగుదురు.
25 నా ప్రజలలో నీయొద్దనుండు ఒక బీదవానికి సొమ్ము అప్పిచ్చినయెడల వడ్డికిచ్చువానివలె వాని యెడల జరిగింప కూడదు, వానికి వడ్డికట్టకూడదు.
26 నీవు ఎప్పుడైనను నీ పొరుగువాని వస్త్రమును కుదవగా తీసికొనినయెడల సూర్యుడు అస్తమించువేళకు అది వానికి మరల అప్ప గించుము.
27 వాడు కప్పుకొనునది అదే. అది వాని దేహ మునకు వస్త్రము; వాడు మరి ఏమి కప్పుకొని పండుకొనును? నేను దయగలవాడను, వాడు నాకు మొఱపెట్టిన యెడల నేను విందును.
28 నీవు దేవుని నిందింపగూడదు, నీ ప్రజలలోని అధి కారిని శపింపకూడదు.
29 నీ మొదటి సస్యద్రవ్యములను అర్పింప తడవు చేయ కూడదు. నీ కుమారులలో జ్యేష్ఠుని నాకు అర్పింపవలెను.
30 అట్లే నీ యెద్దులను నీ గొఱ్ఱలను అర్పింపవలెను. ఏడు దినములు అది దాని తల్లియొద్ద ఉండవలెను. ఎనిమిదవ దినమున దానిని నాకియ్యవలెను.
31 మీరు నాకు ప్రతిష్ఠింపబడినవారు గనుక పొలములో చీల్చబడిన మాంసమును తినక కుక్కలకు దాని పారవేయ వలెను.
1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.
9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
14 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Nehemiah 4 in Tamil and English
1 நாங்கள் அலங்கத்தைக் கட்டுகிற செய்தியைச் சன்பல்லாத் கேட்டபோது, அவன் கோபித்து, எரிச்சலடைந்து, யூதரைச் சக்கந்தம்பண்ணி:
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2 அந்த அற்பமான யூதர் செய்கிறது என்ன, அவர்களுக்கு இடங்கொடுக்கப்படுமோ, பலியிடுவார்களோ, ஒருநாளிலே முடித்துப்போடுவார்களோ, சுட்டெரித்துப் போடப்பட்டு மண்மேடுகளான கற்களுக்கு உயிர் கொடுப்பார்களோ, என்று தன் சகோதரருக்கும் சமாரியாவின் சேனைக்கும் முன்பாகச் சொன்னான்.
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3 அப்பொழுது அம்மோனியனாகிய தொபியா அவன் பக்கத்தில் நின்று: அவர்கள் கட்டினாலும் என்ன, ஒரு நரி ஏறிப்போனால் அவர்களுடைய கல் மதில் இடிந்துபோகும் என்றான்.
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
4 எங்கள் தேவனே, நாங்கள் அவமதிக்கப்படுகிறதைக் கேட்டு, அவர்கள் நிந்திக்கிற நிந்தையை அவர்கள் தலையின்மேல் திருப்பி, அவர்களைச் சிறையிருப்பின் தேசத்திலே சூறைக்கு ஒப்புக்கொடும்.
Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
5 அவர்கள் அக்கிரமத்தை மூடிப்போடாதேயும்; அவர்கள் பாவம் உமக்கு முன்பாகக் கொலைக்கப்படாதிருப்பதாக; கட்டுகிறவர்களுக்கு மனமடிவுண்டாகப் பேசினார்களே.
And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6 நாங்கள் அலங்கத்தைக் கட்டிவந்தோம்; அலங்கமெல்லாம் பாதிமட்டும் ஒன்றாய் இணைந்து உயர்ந்தது; ஜனங்கள் வேலைசெய்கிறதற்கு ஆவலாயிருந்தார்கள்.
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7 எருசலேமின் அலங்கத்தைக் கட்டுகிற வேலை வளர்ந்தேறுகிறது என்றும் இடிக்கப்பட்ட இடங்கள் அடைபட்டுவருகிறது என்றும் சன்பல்லாத்தும், தொபியாவும், அரபியரும், அம்மோனியரும், அஸ்தோத்தியரும் கேட்டபோது, அவர்கள் மிகவும் எரிச்சலாகி,
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 எருசலேமின்மேல் யுத்தம்பண்ண எல்லாரும் ஏகமாய் வரவும் வேலையைத் தடுக்கவும் கட்டுப்பாடு பண்ணினார்கள்.
And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9 ஆனாலும் நாங்கள் எங்கள் தேவனை நோக்கி ஜெபம்பண்ணி, அவர்கள் நிமித்தம் இரவும்பகலும் ஜாமங்காக்கிறவர்களை வைத்தோம்.
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10 அப்பொழுது யூதா மனிதர்: சுமைகாரரின் பெலன் குறைந்துபோகிறது, மண்மேடு மிச்சமாயிருக்கிறது; நாங்கள் அலங்கத்தைக் கட்டக் கூடாது என்றார்கள்.
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11 எங்கள் சத்துருக்களோவென்றால்: நாங்கள் அவர்கள் நடுவே வந்து, அவர்களைக் கொன்றுபோடுமட்டும், அவர்கள் அதை அறியாமலும் பாராமலும் இருக்கவேண்டும்; இவ்விதமாய் அந்த வேலையை ஓயப்பண்ணுவோம் என்றார்கள்.
And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12 அதை அவர்களண்டையிலே குடியிருக்கிற யூதரும், பல இடங்களிலுமிருந்து எங்களிடத்துக்கு வந்து, பத்துவிசை எங்களுக்குச் சொன்னார்கள்.
And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
13 அப்பொழுது நான் அலங்கத்துக்குப் பின்னாக இருக்கிற பள்ளமான இடங்களிலும் மேடுகளிலும் பட்டயங்களையும், ஈட்டிகளையும் வில்லுகளையும் பிடித்திருக்கிற ஜனங்களைக் குடும்பங் குடும்பமாக நிறுத்தினேன்.
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 அதை நான் பார்த்து எழும்பி, பிரபுக்களையும் அதிகாரிகளையும் மற்ற ஜனங்களையும் நோக்கி: அவர்களுக்குப் பயப்படாதிருங்கள்; நீங்கள் மகத்துவமும் பயங்கரமுமான ஆண்டவரை நினைத்து, உங்கள் சகோதரருக்காகவும், உங்கள் குமாரருக்காகவும், உங்கள் குமாரத்திகளுக்காகவும், உங்கள் மனைவிகளுக்காகவும், உங்கள் வீடுகளுக்காகவும் யுத்தம்பண்ணுங்கள் என்றேன்.
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15 எங்களுக்குச் செய்தி தெரியவந்ததென்றும், தேவன் அவர்கள் ஆலோசனையை அபத்தமாக்கினாரென்றும், எங்கள் பகைஞர் கேட்டபோது, நாங்கள் எல்லோரும் அவரவர் தங்கள் வேலையைச் செய்ய அலங்கத்துக்குத் திரும்பினோம்.
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 அன்று முதற்கொண்டு என் வேலைக்காரரில் பாதிப்பேர் வேலைசெய்தார்கள், பாதிப்பேர் ஈட்டிகளையும் பரிசைகளையும் வில்லுகளையும் கவசங்களையும் பிடித்து நின்றார்கள்; அதிகாரிகள் யூதா வம்சத்தார் எல்லாருக்கும் பின்னாக நின்றார்கள்.
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 அலங்கத்திலே கட்டுகிறவர்களும், சுமைசுமக்கிறவர்களும், சுமையேற்றுகிறவர்களும், அவரவர் ஒரு கையினாலே வேலைசெய்து, மறுகையினாலே ஆயுதம் தரித்திருந்தார்கள்.
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 கட்டுகிறவர்கள் அவரவர் தங்கள் பட்டயத்தைத் தங்கள் இடுப்பிலே கட்டிக்கொண்டவர்களாய் வேலைசெய்தார்கள்; எக்காளம் ஊதுகிறவன் என்னண்டையிலே நின்றான்.
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19 நான் பிரபுக்களையும் அதிகாரிகளையும் மற்ற ஜனங்களையும் நோக்கி: வேலை பெரிதும் விஸ்தாரமுமாயிருக்கிறது; நாம் அலங்கத்தின்மேல் சிதறப்பட்டு ஒருவருக்கு ஒருவர் தூரமாயிருக்கிறோம்.
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
20 நீங்கள் எவ்விடத்திலே எக்காளச் சத்தத்தைக் கேட்கிறீர்களோ அவ்விடத்திலே வந்து, எங்களோடே கூடுங்கள்; நம்முடைய தேவன் நமக்காக யுத்தம்பண்ணுவார் என்றேன்.
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
21 இப்படியே நாங்கள் வேலைசெய்துகொண்டிருந்தோம்; அவர்களிலே பாதிப்பேர் கிழக்கு வெளுக்கும் நேரமுதல் நட்சத்திரங்கள் காணுமட்டும் ஈட்டிகளைப் பிடித்திருந்தார்கள்.
So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22 அக்காலத்திலே நான் ஜனங்களைப் பார்த்து: இராமாறு நமக்குக் காவலுக்கும் பகல்மாறு வேலைக்கும் உதவ, அவரவர் தங்கள் வேலைக்காரரோடுங்கூட எருசலேமுக்குள்ளே இராத்தங்கக்கடவர்கள் என்று சொல்லி,
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
23 நானாகிலும், என் சகோதரராகிலும், என் வேலைக்காரராகிலும், என்னைப் பின்பற்றி காவல்காக்கிற சேவகராகிலும் எங்கள் வஸ்திரங்களைக் களைந்துபோடாதிருந்தோம்; அவரவருக்கு ஆயுதமும் தண்ணீரும் இருந்தது.
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
