2	If a theefe be found breaking vp, and be smitten that he dye: there shall no blood be shed for hym.	If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him,	“If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;
3	But if the sunne be vp vpon him, then there shalbe blood shed for hym, for he should make restitution: if he haue not wherwith, he shalbe solde for his theft.	but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.	but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed. “Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft.
4	If the theft be founde in his hande, aliue, whether it be oxe, asse, or sheepe, he shall restore double.	If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.

7	If a man deliuer his neyghbour money or stuffe to kepe, and it be stolen out of his house: if the theefe be founde, let hym pay double:	“If a man gives to his neighbor money or goods to keep safe, and it is stolen from the man’s house, then, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.	“If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.
8	And if the theefe be not founde, then the good man of ye house shalbe brought vnto the Iudges, that it may be knowen whether he haue put his hande vnto his neyghbours good.	If the thief is not found, the owner of the house shall come near to God to show whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property.	But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges, and they must determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person’s property.
9	And in al maner of trespasse, whether it be for oxe, asse, or sheepe, rayment, or any maner of lost thing, which another chalengeth to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the Iudges, and whom the Iudges condemne, let him pay double vnto his neyghbour.

The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

The one whom the judges declare guilty must pay back double to the other.

11	Then shall an oth of the Lorde be betweene them, that he hath not put his hande vnto his neyghbours good: and the owner of it shall take the oth, and the other shall not make it good.	an oath by the LORD shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the oath, and he shall not make restitution.	the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath before the LORD that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person’s property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required.

15	(22:14) But if the owner therof be by, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.	If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee.	But if the owner is with the animal, the borrower will not have to pay. If the animal was hired, the money paid for the hire covers the loss.
