Numbers 30
1 Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:
Musa aliwambia viongizi wote wa makabila ya watu wa Israeli. “Hiki ndicho ambacho BWANA ameamuru.
2 If a man makes a solemn promise to the Lord, or pledges to do something by swearing an oath, he must not break his promise. He must do everything he said he would.
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 who's young and still living in her father's house makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath
Na kama binti anaishi katika nyumba ya baba yake kwa atafanya nadhiri kwa BWANA na kuifunga nafsi yake kwa kiapo,
4 and her father finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will 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 disallows them as soon as he finds out, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her father has disallowed them.
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 If a woman marries after having made a solemn promise or sworn an oath without thinking
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 finds out about it but doesn't say anything to her right away, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will 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 disallows them when he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid and the Lord will release her from keeping them.
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 Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.
Lakini kwa mjane au kwa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa, kila kitu amabacho atakisema kufunga nafsi yake lazima kitabaki na nguvu kinyume na yeye.
10 If a woman living with her husband makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath,
Na kama mwanamke atafanya kiapo katika nyumba ya mume wake au akijifunga mwenyewe kwa kufanaya kiapo,
11 and her husband finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her and doesn't disallow them, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid.
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 disallows them as soon as he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her husband has disallowed them.
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 Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.
Kila kiapo ambacho mwanamke anakifanya ambacho kinamfunga ili kujikana kianaweza kuthibitika au kubatilishwa na mume wake.
14 But if her husband doesn't ever say a word to her about it, then he is assumed to have confirmed all the solemn promises and pledges she has made.
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 However, if he disallows them some time later after finding out about them, then he will bear the responsibility for her breaking them.”
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 regulations that the Lord gave to Moses regarding the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a daughter who is young and still living at home.
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.
