Numbers 30
1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which YHWH has commanded.
Afei, Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade ahyɛ sɛ,
2 When a man vows a vow to YHWH, 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.
sɛ obi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbu so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ deɛ ɔka sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
3 "Also when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,
“Sɛ ababaawa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ ɛberɛ a ɔda so te nʼagya fie,
4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
na nʼagya no te sɛ ne ba no ahyɛ bɔ, na wanka hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ no di mu.
5 But if her father disallow 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 YHWH will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ nʼagya no si no bɔhyɛ no ho ɛkwan ɛda a ɔbɛte no a, ɔde sɛe bɔhyɛ no. Awurade de bɛkyɛ ababaawa no, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼagya ampene sɛ ɔbɛdi so.
6 "If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,
“Sɛ ɔhyɛ bɔ a ɛnyɛ na akyire no ɔkɔware
7 and her husband hears it, and holds his peace 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 ne kunu no te saa bɔhyɛ no ho asɛm nanso wanka ho hwee ɛda no ara a, ne bɔhyɛ no di dwuma.
8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and YHWH will forgive her.
Na sɛ ne kunu no po bɔhyɛ bɔne no a, po a ɔpoeɛ no di mu enti, Awurade de bɛkyɛ no.
9 "But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
“Sɛ ɔbaa yɛ okunafoɔ anaa wɔagyaa no aware a, ɛkwan biara so, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi ne bɔhyɛ nyinaa so.
10 "If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
“Sɛ waware na ɔte ne kunu fie a ɛhɔ na ɔhyɛɛ ɛbɔ no,
11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace 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 ne kunu no teeɛ na wanka ho hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ no di mu.
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 YHWH will forgive her.
Na sɛ ɛda no ara a ɔteeɛ no, sɛ wampene so a, ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de bɛkyɛ no.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Enti, ne kunu na ɔbɛsi so dua anaasɛ ɔbɛkasa atia bɔhyɛ no.
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he says nothing to her on the day that he heard them.
Sɛ ɛda mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee deɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔpene so.
15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity."
Sɛ ɔtwɛn ma ɛda koro fa so na sɛ ɔbɛka sɛ bɔhyɛ no nni mu a, ɛho asotwe biara a ɔbaa no penee so no bɛba ɔbarima no so.”
16 These are the statutes, which YHWH commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.
Yei ne mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de maa ɔbarima ne ne yere ne agya ne ne babaa a wɔn nyinaa te efie baako mu no.
