53 - 54. 井堰の管理不行き届きの罪

53. 何人も、井堰を適切に保つには怠惰に過ぎ、管理不行届き為りし折。即ち堰の決壊ありて、畑といふ畑浸かったなら。堰を決壊に至らしめた者は金で売られ、その金をもて台無しになせる穀物の損害賠償に充てるべし。

If any one be too lazy to keep his dam in proper condition, and does not so keep it; if then the dam break and all the fields be flooded, then shall he in whose dam the break occurred be sold for money, and the money shall replace the corn which he has caused to be ruined.

54. 彼もし被害に値せずば、彼及びその所有物は、氾濫の害蒙りし衆にて分かち合ふべし。

If he be not able to replace the corn, then he and his possessions shall be divided among the farmers whose corn he has flooded.
