Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded.
Mose akawaambia viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli: “Hili ndilo Bwana analoagiza:
2 When a man vows a vow to Jehovah, 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.
Mwanaume awekapo nadhiri kwa Bwana, au anapoapa kujifunga kwa ahadi, kamwe asitangue neno lake, bali ni lazima afanye kila kitu alichosema.
3 Also when a woman vows a vow to Jehovah, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,
“Wakati mwanamwali anayeishi bado nyumbani kwa baba yake atakapoweka nadhiri kwa Bwana, ama amejifunga mwenyewe kwa ahadi,
4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father remains silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
na baba yake akasikia kuhusu nadhiri au ahadi yake lakini asimwambie lolote, ndipo nadhiri zake zote na kila ahadi aliyoiweka na kujifunga kwayo itathibitika.
5 But if her father disallows her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. And Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Lakini kama baba yake akimkataza wakati anapoisikia, hakuna nadhiri wala ahadi yake yoyote aliyojifunga kwayo itakayosimama; Bwana atamweka huru huyo mwanamwali kwa sababu baba yake amemkataza.
6 And if she is married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,
“Ikiwa ataolewa baada ya kuweka nadhiri au baada ya midomo yake kutamka ahadi fulani bila kufikiri akawa amejifunga hivyo,
7 and her husband hears it, and remains silent at her in the day that he hears it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
na mume wake akasikia habari hiyo asimwambie neno lolote, ndipo nadhiri zake ama ahadi zake ambazo alikuwa amejifunga nazo zitathibitika.
8 But if her husband disallows her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. And Jehovah will forgive her.
Lakini ikiwa mume wake atamkataza atakaposikia kuhusu hilo, atakuwa ametangua nadhiri ambazo zilikuwa zimemfunga mkewe, ama ahadi aliyotamka pasipo kufikiri ambayo amejifunga kwayo, naye Bwana atamweka huru yule mwanamke.
9 But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, even everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her.
“Nadhiri yoyote ama patano ambalo limefanywa na mjane ama mwanamke aliyeachwa vitakuwa vimemfunga.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
“Ikiwa mwanamke anayeishi na mumewe ataweka nadhiri ama kujifunga mwenyewe kwa ahadi chini ya kiapo,
11 and her husband heard it, and remained silent at her, and did not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
na mumewe akasikia kuhusu jambo hili lakini asimwambie lolote wala hakumkataza, ndipo viapo vyake vyote au ahadi zinazomfunga zitakapothibitika.
12 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, and Jehovah will forgive her.
Lakini ikiwa mumewe atabatilisha nadhiri hizo baada ya kuzisikia, basi hakuna nadhiri au ahadi zozote alizoziweka kwa midomo yake zitakazothibitika. Mumewe atakuwa amezibatilisha, na Bwana atamweka huru yule mwanamke.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Mumewe anaweza kuthibitisha au kutangua nadhiri yoyote anayoweka, au ahadi yoyote aliyoweka kwa kuapa ili kujikana mwenyewe.
14 But if her husband altogether remains silent at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her. He has established them, because he remained silent at her in the day that he heard them.
Lakini ikiwa mumewe hasemi lolote kwake kuhusu jambo hilo siku baada ya siku, basi mumewe atakuwa amethibitisha nadhiri zote, na ahadi zote zinazomfunga mkewe. Anavithibitisha kwa kutokusema lolote kwa mkewe anapoyasikia hayo.
15 But if he shall make them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
Hata hivyo, ikiwa mumewe atavibatilisha baada ya kusikia hayo, basi atawajibika kwa hatia ya mkewe.”
16 These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth in her father's house.
Haya ndiyo masharti ambayo Bwana alimpa Mose kuhusu mahusiano kati ya mtu na mkewe, na kati ya baba na binti yake ambaye bado anaishi nyumbani kwa baba yake.
