< Numbers 30 >
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
Musa aliwambia viongizi wote wa makabila ya watu wa Israeli. “Hiki ndicho ambacho BWANA ameamuru.
2 If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
Mtu yeyote atakayefanya nadhiri kwa BWANA, au kuapa kwa kiapo ili kufunga nafsi yake kwa ahadi, asivunje neno lake. Atafanya sawa na ahadi yake imtokayo kinywani mwake.
3 If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,
Na kama binti anaishi katika nyumba ya baba yake kwa atafanya nadhiri kwa BWANA na kuifunga nafsi yake kwa kiapo,
4 and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
na kama baba yake atasikia hiyo nadhirina ahadi ambayo ametumia kuifunga nafsi yake, naye asiseme kitu kumzuia, ndipo nadhiri zake zitakuwa na nguvu. Kila ahadi ambayo ameitumia kuifunga nafsi yake itabaki kuwa na nguvu.
5 But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.
Lakini kama baba yake atasikia nadhairi yake na ahadi zake, na kama hatasema chochote kwake, ndipo nadhiri zake zote na ahadi alizofanya zitakapokuwa na nguvu.
6 And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,
Hata hivyo, kama baba yake atasikia nadhri zake zote alizofanya na ahadi zake makini ambazo ametumia kufunga nafsi yake, na kama atazitengua ndani ya siku hiyo, ndipo hizo nadhiri hazitakuwa na nguvu. BWANA atamsamehe kwa kuwa baba yake amemzuia.
7 and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
Kama ataolewa angali katika hivyo viapo, au kama atafanya ahadi za bila kufikiri ambazo atajifunga nazo, hivyo vifungo vitakuwa na nguvu.
8 But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.
Lakini kama mume wake atamzuia siku hiyo hiyo ambayo atamskia akiapa, basi atabatailisha hicho kiapo alichokifanya, maneno yake ya midomo yaka ya bila kufikiri ambayo kwayo amefunga nafsi yake. BWANA atamfungua.
9 But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, — everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
Lakini kwa mjane au kwa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa, kila kitu amabacho atakisema kufunga nafsi yake lazima kitabaki na nguvu kinyume na yeye.
10 And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
Na kama mwanamke atafanya kiapo katika nyumba ya mume wake au akijifunga mwenyewe kwa kufanaya kiapo,
11 and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
na mume wake akakisikia hicho kiapo na hakusema chochote kwake na hakumpinga, basi viapo vyake vitasimama na vifungo alivyovifanaya vitabaki na nguvu.
12 But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
Lakini kama mume wake atamzuilia katika siku hiyo ambayo atavisikia, basi chochote ambacho kitatoka katika kinywa chake kuhusu viapo vyake au ahadi zake havitabaki kuwa na nguvu. Mume wake atkuwa amevibatilisha. BWANA atamfungua.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
Kila kiapo ambacho mwanamke anakifanya ambacho kinamfunga ili kujikana kianaweza kuthibitika au kubatilishwa na mume wake.
14 And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
Lakini kama hatasema chochote kwake siku baada ya siku, basi atathibitisha nadhiri zake na ahadi zake zinazomfunga ambazo amefanya. Atakuwa amezithibitisha kwa sababu hakusema chochote wakati alipozisikia.
15 But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
Na kama mume wake atajariibu kubatilisha kiapo cha mke wake baada ya kuzisikia kwa muda mrefu, basi ataajibika kwa dhambi zake.”
16 These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Mungu alimwamuru Musa kuzitangaza - amri ambazo ziko kati ya mume na mke wake na kati ya baba na binti yake wakati akiwa katika ujana wake katika familia ya baba yake.
