Kana yandi kele ve na kima ya kufutila kikodi, ba ke tekisa yandi samu na muyibi ya yandi.»BSBBSB: But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed.

7. 7MKW«Ntangu muntu ke bumbisa mbongo to bima ya nkaka na sika ya mpangi ya yandi, kana ba laba yawu kuna na yinzo ya mpangi yina, muyibi ya yawu ke futa kikodi kana bima yango me talana.

11. 11MKWmpangi yina fwana kudya ndefi na Nkumbu ya Yave ti ni yandi ve me tula maboko na kibulu ya mpangi. Muntu ya kibulu ke ndima ndefi ya mpangi, mpe mpangi yina ke futa ve kikodi.BSBBSB: an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.
12. 12MKWKasi, kana ba me laba kibulu yina na sika ya yandi, yandi ke futa kikodi na sika ya muntu ya kibulu yina.BSBBSB: But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.

Kana yandi ke na kufutila kibulu yina, kaka ni ntalu ya kufutila yawu yandi ke futa.»BSBBSB: If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
16. 16MKW«Ntangu bakala ke basika na ndumba yina me zaba ntete ve babakala mpe yina kele ve na nsilulu ya makwela, kana yandi vukisa mfulu na yandi, bakala yango ke pesa bima nyonso ya makwela, samu ti ndumba yina kuma kento ya yandi.BSBBSB: If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

22. 22MKWKana nge talisa bawu mpasi mpe bawu looka na sika ya munu, mu ke kuwa mbote kulooka ya bawu.BSBBSB: You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
23. 23MKWMu ke dasuka mpe mu ke kufwa beno na bamvita. Bakento ya beno ke kuma mifwidi mpe bana ya beno ke kuma bansaana.»BSBBSB: If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
24. 24MKW«Kana nge defisa mbongo na mosi ya bantu ya munu, mputu yina kele na sika ya beno, kusala yandi ve mutindu ke salaka bidefisi-mbongo.

Kana yandi looka na sika ya munu, mu ke kuwa yandi mbote, samu ti mu kele Nzambi yina ke talaka kyadi.»BSBBSB: because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
29. 30MKW«Beno sala mutindu mosi samu na bangombe ya beno mpe samu na mameme na bankombo ya beno. Mwana ya ntete ke vwanda bilumbu nsambwadi na mama ya yandi. Na kilumbu ya nana, beno ke pesa munu yawu.»BSBBSB: You shall do likewise with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to Me.
30. 31MKW«Na ntadisi ya munu, beno vwanda bantu yina ba me tula na lweka samu na munu. Beno kudya ve mbisi ya kibulu yina kibulu ya nsisi me kufwa na kati ya matiti.
