Mose 4 30

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

And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel saying: This, is the thing which Yahweh hath 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.

When, a man, shall vow a vow unto Yahweh, or swear an oath to bind a bond upon his soul, he shall not break his word, —according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth, shall he 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, when, a woman, shall vow a vow unto Yahweh, and bind a bond, in the house of her father, in her youth;

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 her father shall hear her vow or her bond which she bindeth upon her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul shall stand.

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 forbade her, in the day when he heard, none of her vows or her bonds which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand, —and, Yahweh, will pardon her, because her father forbade her.

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

But, if she, belonged to a husband, when her vows were taken upon her, —or a rash utterance fell from her lips, wherewith she put a bond 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 heard it, and on the day that he heard, he held his peace at her, then shall her vows stand and her bonds which she hath bound 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, on the day her husband heard, he forbade her, then shall he have made of none effect her vow that is upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she put a bond upon her soul, —and, Yahweh, will pardon her.

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.

But as for the vow of a widow, or of a woman divorced, whatsoever she hath bound on her soul, shall stand against her.

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

But, if in the house of her husband, she vowed, or bound a bond 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 heard, and held his peace at her, did not forbid her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand.

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, did make, them, of none effect, on the day he heard, nothing which came forth out of her lips—of her vows, or of the bond of her soul, shall stand, —her husband, made it of none effect, and Yahweh, will pardon her:

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

As for any vow, or any oath of binding, to humble one’s soul, her husband, may make it stand, or, her husband, may make it of none effect.

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

But if her husband do hold his peace, at her, from day to day, then shall he cause all her vows to stand, or all her bonds which are upon her, —cause them to stand, because he held his peace at her, on the day when he heard.

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 he, do make them of none effect, after that he hath heard them, then shall he bear her 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 statutes which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in the house of her father.
