Kwan 30
1 Musa nowacho ne jotend dhout Israel niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ochiko kama:
And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
2 Ka ngʼato osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata kokwongʼore mar timo gimoro to kik olokre, to nyaka one ni ochopo singruokneno.
If any man makes a vow to the Lord, or binds himself by an oath, he shall not make his word null and void, but all that he has promised, he shall fulfill.
3 “Ka nyako ma rawera ma pod odak e od wuon mare osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata okwongʼore mar timo gimoro
If a woman, who is in her father’s house, vows anything, or binds herself by an oath, and she is still in a state of childhood, if her father knew of the vow which she has promised or of the oath by which she has obligated her soul, and he kept silent, she shall be liable to the vow:
4 mi wuon mare owinjo singruokneno to ok owacho gimoro, to kwongʼruokneno nyaka siki.
whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
5 To ka wuon mare okwero e kinde mosingoreno, to onge kwongʼruok kata singruok mare ma osingorego manitimre; Jehova Nyasaye noweye thuolo nikech wuon mare osedagi.
But if her father, as soon as he had heard it, had contradicted it, both her vows and her oaths shall be nullified, neither shall she be held liable to the promise, because her father had contradicted it.
6 “Ka onywome bangʼ ka osekwongʼore kata orikni ochiwo singruok motweye
If she has a husband, and she has vowed anything, then, once the word has gone out of her mouth, she will have obligated her soul by an oath.
7 mi chwore owinje to olingʼ alingʼa, to kwongʼruokneno nobed kamano.
On the day that her husband will hear of it, and yet not contradict it, she shall be liable to the vow, and she shall repay whatever she has promised.
8 To ka chwore owinjo wachni mokwere, to oketho kwongʼruok motweye kata singruok mane orikni chiwo, kendo Jehova Nyasaye kete thuolo.
But if, as soon as he hears it, he contradicts it, then he will have caused her promises, and the words by which she had bound her soul, to be null and void. The Lord will be favorable to her.
9 “Kwongʼruok kata singruok moro amora ma dhako ma chwore otho kata dhako ma mowere gi chwore otimo nosiki.
Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
10 “Ka dhako modak gi chwore okwongʼore kata otwere gi kwongʼruok
If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
11 mi chwore owinjo wachni to ok owachone gimoro kendo ok okwere, to kwongʼruokno nyaka siki.
if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
12 To ka chwore odagi kwongʼruokneno, to onge gimoro amora mane chiege owacho manyalo make. Chwore osekethogi, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nokete thuolo.
But if he promptly contradicts it, she shall not be held liable to the promise. For her husband has contradicted it. And the Lord will be favorable to her.
13 Chwor dhako nyalo guro kata ketho singruok kata kwongʼruok ma chiege dwaro sandorego.
If she has vowed or bound herself by oath, in order to afflict her soul by fasting, or by abstaining from other things, it shall be for the arbitration of her husband, as to whether or not she may do it.
14 To ka chwore ok owacho gimoro kuom wachno odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, to nochop kwongʼruok mage kod singruok mage duto motwerego. Kwongʼruokgo nosiki nikech kane owinjogi to nolingʼ.
But if the husband, upon hearing it, remains silent, and he delays judgment until another day, whatever she had vowed or promised, she shall repay, because when he first heard it, he remained silent.
15 To ka dipo ni olokore bangʼe modagi kosewinjogi, to ketho mar chiege nobed e wiye owuon.”
And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
16 Magi e chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Musa kaluwore gidak manie kind dichwo gi dhako, kendo e kind wuoro gi nyare ma pod tin modak e odgi.
These are the laws which the Lord has appointed to Moses, between a husband and a wife, between a father and a daughter, who is still in the state of childhood or who remains in her father’s house.
