Numbers 30
1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.
Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanyimfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade ahyɛ se:
2 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, 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 a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obu so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ nea ɔkaa se ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
3 “Also, when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth,
“Sɛ ababaa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ bere a ɔda so te nʼagya fi,
4 and her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound her soul, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge 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 ne ne ntam a ɔkaa no nyinaa no di mu.
5 But if her father forbids her in the day that he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. Yahweh will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ nʼagya no siw no bɔhyɛ no ho kwan a, etwa ne bɔhyɛ ne ntam a ɔkae no mu. Awurade de bɛkyɛ ababaa no, efisɛ nʼagya ampene sɛ obedi 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 anaa ɔka ntam ansa na ɔware na ɛbɛyɛ asodi ma no
7 and her husband hears it, and says nothing to her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
na ne kunu no te saa bɔhyɛ no ho asɛm nanso wanka ho hwee a, na ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. Yahweh will forgive her.
Na sɛ ne kunu no te na osiw no ho kwan a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ watwa mu a bɔhyɛ no anaa ntam no ho asodi nna ne so bio, enti Awurade de ne ho 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.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea kunafo anaa nea wɔagyaa no aware no di ne ntam a ɔbɛka anaa bɔ a ɔbɛhyɛ no biara 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 fi na ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam,
11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her and didn’t disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she bound her soul shall stand.
na ne kunu no te na wansiw no ho kwan a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
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. Yahweh will forgive her.
Na sɛ ne kunu no te na, sɛ wampene so na, otwa mu a, na ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de ne ho 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 no betumi asi ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ anaa ntam a ɔka no so dua anaasɛ obetwa mu.
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her in the day that he heard them.
Sɛ da mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee ankyerɛ no de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔpene so wɔ hwee a wanka amfa ho no nti.
15 But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
Sɛ ɔtwɛn ma mmere bi fa so ansa na ɔka se bɔhyɛ no nni mu a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsoa ɔbea no mfomso no ho asodi.”
16 These are the statutes which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
Eyinom ne mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de maa ɔbarima ne ne yere, ne agya ne ne babea a ɔda so te ne fi no.
