Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1(21-37) If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a 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.
2(22-1) If a thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.
2¶ Kapau ʻe maʻu poʻuli ha kaihaʻa lolotonga ʻene fai, pea taaʻi ia pea mate, ʻe ʻikai lilingi ha toto koeʻuhi ko ia.
3(22-2) If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him — he shall make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
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.
4(22-3) If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay 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.
5(22-4) If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it 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.
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.
6(22-5) If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
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.
7(22-6) If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, he shall pay 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.
8(22-7) If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, to see whether he have not put his hand unto 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.
9(22-8) For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith: 'This is it,' the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto 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.
10(22-9) 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;
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;
11(22-10) the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not 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.
12(22-11) But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
12Pea kapau kuo kaihaʻasi meiate ia, pea te ne ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ia.
13(22-12) If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.
13Kapau kuo mahaehae, ʻoku lelei ʻene ʻomi ia ke fakamoʻoni, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne totongi ʻaia kuo mahaehae.

14¶ “Pea kapau ʻe nō ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pea hoko ʻo lavea ia, pe mate, kae ʻikai ʻi ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, ko e moʻoni te ne totongi ia.
15(22-14) If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hireling, he loseth his hire.
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.
16(22-15) And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
16¶ “Pea kapau ʻe fakatauveleʻi ʻe ha tangata ha taʻahine ʻoku teʻeki poloʻi pea na mohe, ko e moʻoni te ne vahe koloa maʻana, pea hoko ko hono mali.
17(22-16) If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

22¶ “ʻE ʻikai te mou fakamamahi ha fefine kuo pekia hono mali, pe ko e tamasiʻi tuēnoa.
23(22-22) If thou afflict them in any wise — for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry —
23Kapau te ke tautea ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa, pea nau tangi mai kiate au, ko e moʻoni te u ongoʻi ʻenau tangi;
24(22-23) My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
24Pea ʻe tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻeku houhau, pea te u tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ʻe hoko homou ngaahi mali ko e kau paea, mo hoʻomou fānau ko e tamai mate.

26(22-25) If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down;
26Kapau ʻoku ke toʻo ʻae kofu ʻo ho kaungāʻapi ko e fakamoʻoni, ke ke toe ʻatu ia kiate ia ʻo feʻunga mo e tō ʻae laʻā.
27(22-26) for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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.
27He ko hono kofu pe ia, ko e kofu ʻo hono kili: pea ko e hā ʻe mohe ai ia? Pea ka tangi ia kiate au, pea ʻe pehē, Te u ongoʻi, he ʻoku ou angaʻofa.
