Numbers 30
1 And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe tatɔwo be, “Se si Yehowa de lae nye esi.
2 If any man makes a vow to the Lord, or binds himself by an oath, he shall not make his word null and void, but all that he has promised, he shall fulfill.
Ne ame aɖe ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa alo ka atam hetsri nane na eɖokui la, mele be wòada le eƒe nya dzi o, ke boŋ ele be wòawɔ ɖe nya sia nya si wògblɔ la dzi.
3 If a woman, who is in her father’s house, vows anything, or binds herself by an oath, and she is still in a state of childhood, if her father knew of the vow which she has promised or of the oath by which she has obligated her soul, and he kept silent, she shall be liable to the vow:
“Ne nyɔnu aɖe, si nye ɖetugbi le fofoa ƒe aƒe me ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be yeawɔ nane alo yemawɔ nane o,
4 whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
eye fofoa nya nu tso ɖetugbi la ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la kple tohehe siwo ku ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la ŋuti ŋu, gake megblɔ nya aɖeke o la, ekema ele be ɖetugbi la nawɔ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi kokoko.
5 But if her father, as soon as he had heard it, had contradicted it, both her vows and her oaths shall be nullified, neither shall she be held liable to the promise, because her father had contradicted it.
Ke ne fofoa melɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o, alo wòbu be tohehe si dzi wòlɔ̃ ɖo sesẽ akpa la, ekema ɖetugbi la ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la megablae o. Ne fofoa melɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o la, ekema ele nɛ be wòaɖe gbeƒã nenema le gbe si gbe wònya nu le adzɔgbeɖeɖe la ŋu; ekema Yehowa atsɔe ake ɖetugbi la, elabena fofoa melɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o.
6 If she has a husband, and she has vowed anything, then, once the word has gone out of her mouth, she will have obligated her soul by an oath.
“Ne nyɔnu aɖe ɖe adzɔgbe alo do ŋugbe dzodzro aɖe hafi va ɖe srɔ̃ la,
7 On the day that her husband will hear of it, and yet not contradict it, she shall be liable to the vow, and she shall repay whatever she has promised.
ne srɔ̃ŋutsu la se nya la, eye megblɔ nya aɖeke tso eŋu le gbe si gbe wòse nu tso eŋuti dzi o la, ekema ele be nyɔnu la nawɔ ɖe eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi kokoko.
8 But if, as soon as he hears it, he contradicts it, then he will have caused her promises, and the words by which she had bound her soul, to be null and void. The Lord will be favorable to her.
Ke ne srɔ̃ŋutsu la gbe be yemelɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o la, ekema adzɔgbeɖeɖe la megabla nyɔnu la o, eye Yehowa atsɔe akee.
9 Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
“Ke ne nyɔnu la zu ahosi alo eya kple srɔ̃a dome klã la, ekema ele nɛ be wòawɔ ɖe eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi kokoko.
10 If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
“Ne srɔ̃nyɔnu aɖe le srɔ̃a ƒe aƒe me, eye wòɖe adzɔgbe,
11 if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
ne srɔ̃ŋutsu la se nu tso srɔ̃a ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la ŋu, eye megblɔ nya aɖeke o la, ekema ele be nyɔnu la nawɔ ɖe eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi kokoko.
12 But if he promptly contradicts it, she shall not be held liable to the promise. For her husband has contradicted it. And the Lord will be favorable to her.
Ke ne ŋutsu la gblɔ le ŋkeke gbãtɔ si wòse nu tso adzɔgbeɖeɖe la ŋu be yemelɔ̃ ɖe edzi o la, ekema adzɔgbeɖeɖe la megabla nyɔnu la o, eye Yehowa atsɔe akee.
13 If she has vowed or bound herself by oath, in order to afflict her soul by fasting, or by abstaining from other things, it shall be for the arbitration of her husband, as to whether or not she may do it.
Ale srɔ̃ŋutsu ate ŋu alɔ̃ adzɔgbeɖeɖe la nabla srɔ̃a loo alo agbe, eye adzɔgbeɖeɖe la mabla srɔ̃a o.
14 But if the husband, upon hearing it, remains silent, and he delays judgment until another day, whatever she had vowed or promised, she shall repay, because when he first heard it, he remained silent.
Ke ne ŋutsu la megblɔ nya aɖeke o, eye ŋkeke ɖeka va yi la, ekema elɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi.
15 And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
Ne srɔ̃ŋutsu la lala ŋkeke ɖeka va yi hafi wòva gbe be yemelɔ̃ ɖe ye srɔ̃ ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o la, ekema tohehe ka ke dzi nyɔnu la lɔ̃ ɖo be wòava ye dzi ne yemewɔ ɖe yeƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o la ava ŋutsu la boŋ dzi, elabena eyae meɖe mɔ na nyɔnu la be wòawɔ ɖe eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o.”
16 These are the laws which the Lord has appointed to Moses, between a husband and a wife, between a father and a daughter, who is still in the state of childhood or who remains in her father’s house.
Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Mose tso ale si srɔ̃ŋutsu kple srɔ̃nyɔnu dome nanɔ kple ale si fofo kple vinyɔnu dome nanɔ la ŋu.
