(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when grazes (a)_man field or vineyard and,lets_~_loose DOM livestock,his and,graze in/on/at/with,field next/another best field,his_own and,best vineyard,his_own make_restitution )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “If they find that he still has the live animal that he stole”

שְׁנַ֖יִם יְשַׁלֵּֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when grazes (a)_man field or vineyard and,lets_~_loose DOM livestock,his and,graze in/on/at/with,field next/another best field,his_own and,best vineyard,his_own make_restitution )

The meaning of compensate double is not entirely clear. Most interpretations follow the UST, that is, two animals total must be given, the stolen one and one more. Some interpret double to mean the thief must pay two animals for every animal that he took, so three total. It would be best to leave double as ambiguous as possible. Alternate translation: “he must compensate twice what he stole”
