Kwan 30

1 Musa nowacho ne jotend dhout Israel niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ochiko kama:

Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.

2 Ka ngʼato osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata kokwongʼore mar timo gimoro to kik olokre, to nyaka one ni ochopo singruokneno.

When a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 “Ka nyako ma rawera ma pod odak e od wuon mare osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kata okwongʼore mar timo gimoro

“Also, when a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth,

4 mi wuon mare owinjo singruokneno to ok owacho gimoro, to kwongʼruokneno nyaka siki.

and her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound her soul, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she has bound her soul shall 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 forbids her in the day that he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. The LORD will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.

6 “Ka onywome bangʼ ka osekwongʼore kata orikni ochiwo singruok motweye

“If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips with which she has bound her soul,

7 mi chwore owinje to olingʼ alingʼa, to kwongʼruokneno nobed kamano.

and her husband hears it, and says nothing to her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges with which she has bound her soul shall 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 forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. The LORD will forgive her.

9 “Kwongʼruok kata singruok moro amora ma dhako ma chwore otho kata dhako ma mowere gi chwore otimo nosiki.

“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her.

10 “Ka dhako modak gi chwore okwongʼore kata otwere gi kwongʼruok

“If she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

11 mi chwore owinjo wachni to ok owachone gimoro kendo ok okwere, to kwongʼruokno nyaka siki.

and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her and didn’t disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she bound her soul shall stand.

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 made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made them void. The LORD will forgive her.

13 Chwor dhako nyalo guro kata ketho singruok kata kwongʼruok ma chiege dwaro sandorego.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

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 says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her in the day that he heard them.

15 To ka dipo ni olokore bangʼe modagi kosewinjogi, to ketho mar chiege nobed e wiye owuon.”

But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her 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 statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
