manifold

English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion
Proverbs 6:30-35:
"Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts."

Yet a thief must suffer, although he is pitied when hunger urges him on to steal. He shall restore manifold, according to the law; and if he cannot make the ample restitution required, he must give all the substance of his house.

...deberá restituir/devolver más de lo robado...

manifold me parece que se usa para definir que debe devolver varias veces lo que se robó. Otra alternativa más neutra podría ser:

...DEBERÁ RESTITUIR/DEVOLVER ABUNDANTEMENTE...


SUERTE!!!!
