Mose 4 30

1 Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe tatɔwo be, “Se si Yehowa de lae nye esi.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.

2 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.

Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth he shall do.

3 “Ne nyɔnu aɖe, si nye ɖetugbi le fofoa ƒe aƒe me ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be yeawɔ nane alo yemawɔ nane o,

And if a woman shall vow a vow to the Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father's house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations, wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand,

4 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.

and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.

5 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.

But if her father straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.

6 “Ne nyɔnu aɖe ɖe adzɔgbe alo do ŋugbe dzodzro aɖe hafi va ɖe srɔ̃ la,

But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, [the obligations] which she has contracted upon her soul;

7 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.

and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand.

8 Ke ne srɔ̃ŋutsu la gbe be yemelɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi o la, ekema adzɔgbeɖeɖe la megabla nyɔnu la o, eye Yehowa atsɔe akee.

But if her husband should straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

9 “Ke ne nyɔnu la zu ahosi alo eya kple srɔ̃a dome klã la, ekema ele nɛ be wòawɔ ɖe eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi kokoko.

And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.

10 “Ne srɔ̃nyɔnu aɖe le srɔ̃a ƒe aƒe me, eye wòɖe adzɔgbe,

And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,

11 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.

and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and all the obligations which she contracted against her soul, shall stand against her.

12 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.

But if her husband should utterly cancel the vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations [contracted] upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has cancelled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

13 Ale srɔ̃ŋutsu ate ŋu alɔ̃ adzɔgbeɖeɖe la nabla srɔ̃a loo alo agbe, eye adzɔgbeɖeɖe la mabla srɔ̃a o.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.

14 Ke ne ŋutsu la megblɔ nya aɖeke o, eye ŋkeke ɖeka va yi la, ekema elɔ̃ ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi.

But if he be wholly silent at her from day to day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to her the obligations [which she has bound] upon herself, because he held his peace at her in the day in which he heard her.

15 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.”

And if her husband should in any wise cancel [them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his iniquity.

16 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.

These [are] the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and daughter in [her] youth in the house of [her] father.
