< Numbers 30 >

1 And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord.
Musa akĩĩra atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ: “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:
2 When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova kana ehĩte mwĩhĩtwa wa kwĩhinga mũhingo na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro, ndakanericũkwo, na no nginya eke maũndũ marĩa mothe ehĩtĩte.
3 If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;
“Rĩrĩa mũirĩtu ũrĩ gwa ithe mũciĩ angĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova, kana ehinge na mũhingo na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro,
4 If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.
nake ithe aigue ũhoro wa mwĩhĩtwa ũcio wake, kana kĩĩranĩro kĩu, no aage kũmwĩra ũndũ hĩndĩ ĩyo, mĩĩhĩtwa yake yothe, na kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa gĩothe ehingĩte nakĩo we mwene, nĩigatũũra.
5 But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.
No ithe angĩmũkaania aigua ũhoro wa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo, hatirĩ o na kĩmwe kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo yake, kana ciĩranĩro icio ehingĩte nacio we mwene, igatũũra; nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera nĩ ũndũ ithe nĩamũgirĩtie eke ũndũ ũcio.
6 And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;
“No angĩhika arĩkĩtie kwĩhĩta, kana thuutha wa kwĩranĩra ũndũ na kanua gake ateciirĩtie ũhoro wa kĩĩranĩro kĩu ehingĩte nakĩo,
7 If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.
nake mũthuuriwe aigue ũhoro ũcio na aage kũmwĩra ũndũ, hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩĩhĩtwa yake kana ciĩranĩro icio ehingĩte nacio we mwene nĩigatũũra.
8 But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.
No mũthuuriwe angĩmũkaania rĩrĩa aigua ũhoro wa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo, nĩakeheria mwĩhĩtwa ũcio ũmuohete, kana kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa ehingĩte nakĩo we mwene ateciirĩtie, nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera.
9 But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.
“Mwĩhĩtwa o wothe kana ũndũ ũrĩa mũtumia wa ndigwa kana mũtumia ũrĩa ũtiganĩte na mũthuuriwe angĩkorwo ehĩtĩte nĩatũũre aũrũmĩtie.
10 If she made an oath while she was under the authority of her husband,
“Mũtumia ũrĩ na mũthuuriwe angĩĩhĩta kana ehinge we mwene na kĩĩranĩro kĩa mwĩhĩtwa,
11 And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.
nake mũthuuriwe aigue ũhoro ũcio, no aage kũmwĩra ũndũ kana aage kũmũgiria, hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩĩhĩtwa yake yothe, kana ciĩranĩro iria ehingĩte nacio we mwene, nĩigatũũra.
12 But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.
No mũthuuriwe angĩregana na ũhoro ũcio hĩndĩ ĩyo aũigua-rĩ, hatirĩ o na kĩmwe kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa kana ciĩranĩro iria ciumĩte kanua gake igaatũũra. Mũthuuriwe nĩareganĩte nacio, nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera.
13 Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband.
Mũthuuriwe no etĩkĩre kana aregane na mwĩhĩtwa o wothe ũrĩa angĩĩhĩta kana kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa eranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa gĩa kwĩrega we mwene.
14 But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.
No mũthuuriwe angĩaga kũmwĩra ũndũ igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũcio mũthenya o mũthenya, nĩetĩkĩrĩte mĩĩhĩtwa yake kana ciĩranĩro iria imuohete. Nĩetĩkĩrĩte maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kũmwĩra ũndũ rĩrĩa aigua ũhoro ũcio.
15 But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.
No angĩrega maũndũ macio thuutha hanini, aarĩkia kũmaigua, nĩwe ũngĩcookererwo nĩ mahĩtia ma mũtumia wake.”
16 These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority.
Macio nĩmo mawatho marĩa Jehova aaheire Musa makoniĩ mũndũ na mũtumia wake, na makoniĩ ithe na mwarĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gwake mũciĩ.
