1If 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“Kapau ʻe kaihaʻa ʻe ha tangata ha pulu pe ha sipi, mo tāmateʻi ia, pe fakatau ia; te ne totongi ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae pulu ʻe nima, mo e sipi ʻe taha ʻaki ʻae sipi ʻe fā.
2If 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¶ Kapau ʻe maʻu poʻuli ha kaihaʻa lolotonga ʻene fai, pea taaʻi ia pea mate, ʻe ʻikai lilingi ha toto koeʻuhi ko ia.
3But 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.
3Kapau kuo ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai teʻia ia: ka te ne ʻatu hono totongi kotoa: kapau ʻoku ʻikai haʻa ne meʻa, pehē ʻe fakatau ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kaihaʻa.
4If that which he stole be found with him, alive, either ox, or ass, or sheep: he shall restore double.
4Kapau ʻoku ʻilo pau ʻene kaihaʻa ʻi hono nima ʻoku kei moʻui, pe ko ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi, pe ha sipi; ʻe totongi ʻaki ia ʻae ua.
5If 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¶ “Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ke keina ha ngoue, pe ha ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ki ai ʻene manu, ke kai ʻi he ngoue ʻae tangata kehe: ʻe totongi ki ai ia ʻaki hono fua lelei ʻo ʻene ngoue, mo e lelei ʻo ʻene ngoue vaine.
6If 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¶ “Kapau ʻe tupu ha afi, pea hoko ki he ʻakau talatala, pea vela ai ʻae ngaahi fokotuʻunga uite, pe ko e ngoue, ʻo ʻauha ai; ko ia naʻa ne tutu ʻae afi te ne totongi moʻoni.
7If 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¶ “Kapau ʻe tuku ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaahi paʻanga, pe ha meʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke ne vakai ki ai, pea kapau ʻe kaihaʻasia ia mei he fale ʻoe tangata: kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻae kaihaʻa, tuku ke ne totongi ʻaki ʻae ua.
8If 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,
8Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻe toki ʻomi ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale ki he kau fakamaau, ke ʻilo, pe kuo ne ai hono nima ki he meʻa ʻa hono kaungāʻapi.
9To 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“ʻI he ngaahi anga fakakaihaʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kau ki he pulu, pe ki he ʻasi, pe ko e sipi, pe ki he kofu, pe ki he meʻa kuo mole, ʻaia ʻoku lea fakapapau ki ai ha tokotaha ʻo pehē ko ʻene meʻa, ʻe fakahā fakatouʻosi pe ʻena meʻa ki he kau fakamaau; pea ko ia ʻe tuku ko e halaia ʻe he kau fakamaau, te ne totongi ke tuʻo ua ki hono kaungāʻapi.
10If 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“Kapau ʻe tuku ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ha ʻasi, pe ha pulu, pe ha sipi, pe ha manu ʻe taha ke ne tauhi; pea mate ia, pe lavea, pe fakahēʻi ke mamaʻo, kae ʻikai ha tangata kuo mamata ki ai;
11There 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.
11Pea ʻe fuakava ʻakinaua ki he ʻEiki, ʻo pehē naʻe ʻikai te ne mafao atu hono nima ki he meʻa ʻa hono kaungāʻapi; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae meʻa te ne tui ki ai, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ia.
12But if it were taken away by stealth, he shall make the loss good to the owner.
12Pea kapau kuo kaihaʻasi meiate ia, pea te ne ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ia.

15But if the owner be present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it were hired and came for the hire of his work.
15Pea kapau naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ia; kapau ko e ngāue totongi, naʻe haʻu ia ko e totongi.
