Kwan 30
1 Musa nowacho ne jotend dhout Israel niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ochiko kama:
Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:
2 Ka ngʼato osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata kokwongʼore mar timo gimoro to kik olokre, to nyaka one ni ochopo singruokneno.
If a man makes a solemn promise to the Lord, or pledges to do something by swearing an oath, he must not break his promise. He must do everything he said he would.
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's young and still living in her father's house makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath
4 mi wuon mare owinjo singruokneno to ok owacho gimoro, to kwongʼruokneno nyaka siki.
and her father finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
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 disallows them as soon as he finds out, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her father has disallowed them.
6 “Ka onywome bangʼ ka osekwongʼore kata orikni ochiwo singruok motweye
If a woman marries after having made a solemn promise or sworn an oath without thinking
7 mi chwore owinje to olingʼ alingʼa, to kwongʼruokneno nobed kamano.
and her husband finds out about it but doesn't say anything to her right away, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
8 To ka chwore owinjo wachni mokwere, to oketho kwongʼruok motweye kata singruok mane orikni chiwo, kendo Jehova Nyasaye kete thuolo.
But if her husband disallows them when he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid and the Lord will release her from keeping them.
9 “Kwongʼruok kata singruok moro amora ma dhako ma chwore otho kata dhako ma mowere gi chwore otimo nosiki.
Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.
10 “Ka dhako modak gi chwore okwongʼore kata otwere gi kwongʼruok
If a woman living with her husband makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath,
11 mi chwore owinjo wachni to ok owachone gimoro kendo ok okwere, to kwongʼruokno nyaka siki.
and her husband finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her and doesn't disallow them, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid.
12 To ka chwore odagi kwongʼruokneno, to onge gimoro amora mane chiege owacho manyalo make. Chwore osekethogi, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nokete thuolo.
But if her husband disallows them as soon as he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her husband has disallowed them.
13 Chwor dhako nyalo guro kata ketho singruok kata kwongʼruok ma chiege dwaro sandorego.
Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.
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 her husband doesn't ever say a word to her about it, then he is assumed to have confirmed all the solemn promises and pledges she has made.
15 To ka dipo ni olokore bangʼe modagi kosewinjogi, to ketho mar chiege nobed e wiye owuon.”
However, if he disallows them some time later after finding out about them, then he will bear the responsibility for her breaking them.”
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 regulations that the Lord gave to Moses regarding the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a daughter who is young and still living at home.
