Kwan 30
1 Musa nowacho ne jotend dhout Israel niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ochiko kama:
Moses/I spoke with the leaders of the Israeli tribes. He/I told them these commands that Yahweh had given to him/me:
2 Ka ngʼato osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata kokwongʼore mar timo gimoro to kik olokre, to nyaka one ni ochopo singruokneno.
“If a man solemnly promises Yahweh that he will do something, he must do what he promised.
3 “Ka nyako ma rawera ma pod odak e od wuon mare osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata okwongʼore mar timo gimoro
“If a young woman who is still living with her parents solemnly promises to Yahweh to do something,
4 mi wuon mare owinjo singruokneno to ok owacho gimoro, to kwongʼruokneno nyaka siki.
and if her father hears about what she promised, and if he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
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 hears about what she promised and does not allow her to do that, then she does not need to do what she promised. Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
6 “Ka onywome bangʼ ka osekwongʼore kata orikni ochiwo singruok motweye
“If a woman promises Yahweh that she will do something, but then she gets married,
7 mi chwore owinje to olingʼ alingʼa, to kwongʼruokneno nobed kamano.
if her husband hears about what she promised to do, and he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
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 hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
9 “Kwongʼruok kata singruok moro amora ma dhako ma chwore otho kata dhako ma mowere gi chwore otimo nosiki.
“If a widow or a woman who has been divorced makes a promise, she must do what she promised.
10 “Ka dhako modak gi chwore okwongʼore kata otwere gi kwongʼruok
“If a woman who is married promises [DOU] to do something,
11 mi chwore owinjo wachni to ok owachone gimoro kendo ok okwere, to kwongʼruokno nyaka siki.
and if her husband hears about it but does not object, she must do what she 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 hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing it.
13 Chwor dhako nyalo guro kata ketho singruok kata kwongʼruok ma chiege dwaro sandorego.
A woman’s husband may require her to do what she has promised, or he may not allow her to do what she has promised.
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.
If he does not object for several days [after he hears about it], she must do what she promised.
15 To ka dipo ni olokore bangʼe modagi kosewinjogi, to ketho mar chiege nobed e wiye owuon.”
But if he waits a long time after she has promised to do something and then he tells her that he will not permit her to do it, if she does not do what she promised, [she will not be punished]; her husband is the one whom [Yahweh] will punish.”
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.
Those are the rules that Yahweh gave to Moses/me for husbands and wives, and for young women who are still living with their parents.
