1 Musa akĩĩra atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ: “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:
Moses/I spoke with the leaders of the Israeli tribes. He/I told them these commands that Yahweh had given to him/me:
2 Rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova kana ehĩte mwĩhĩtwa wa kwĩhinga mũhingo na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro, ndakanericũkwo, na no nginya eke maũndũ marĩa mothe ehĩtĩte.
“If a man solemnly promises Yahweh that he will do something, he must do what he promised.
3 “Rĩrĩa mũirĩtu ũrĩ gwa ithe mũciĩ angĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova, kana ehinge na mũhingo na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro,
“If a young woman who is still living with her parents solemnly promises to Yahweh to do something,
4 nake ithe aigue ũhoro wa mwĩhĩtwa ũcio wake, kana kĩĩranĩro kĩu, no aage kũmwĩra ũndũ hĩndĩ ĩyo, mĩĩhĩtwa yake yothe, na kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa gĩothe ehingĩte nakĩo we mwene, nĩigatũũra.
and if her father hears about what she promised, and if he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
5 No ithe angĩmũkaania aigua ũhoro wa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo, hatirĩ o na kĩmwe kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo yake, kana ciĩranĩro icio ehingĩte nacio we mwene, igatũũra; nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera nĩ ũndũ ithe nĩamũgirĩtie eke ũndũ ũcio.
But if her father hears about what she promised and does not allow her to do that, then she does not need to do what she promised. Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
6 “No angĩhika arĩkĩtie kwĩhĩta, kana thuutha wa kwĩranĩra ũndũ na kanua gake ateciirĩtie ũhoro wa kĩĩranĩro kĩu ehingĩte nakĩo,
“If a woman promises Yahweh that she will do something, but then she gets married,
7 nake mũthuuriwe aigue ũhoro ũcio na aage kũmwĩra ũndũ, hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩĩhĩtwa yake kana ciĩranĩro icio ehingĩte nacio we mwene nĩigatũũra.
if her husband hears about what she promised to do, and he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
8 No mũthuuriwe angĩmũkaania rĩrĩa aigua ũhoro wa mĩĩhĩtwa ĩyo, nĩakeheria mwĩhĩtwa ũcio ũmuohete, kana kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa ehingĩte nakĩo we mwene ateciirĩtie, nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera.
But if her husband hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
9 “Mwĩhĩtwa o wothe kana ũndũ ũrĩa mũtumia wa ndigwa kana mũtumia ũrĩa ũtiganĩte na mũthuuriwe angĩkorwo ehĩtĩte nĩatũũre aũrũmĩtie.
“If a widow or a woman who has been divorced makes a promise, she must do what she promised.
10 “Mũtumia ũrĩ na mũthuuriwe angĩĩhĩta kana ehinge we mwene na kĩĩranĩro kĩa mwĩhĩtwa,
“If a woman who is married promises [DOU] to do something,
11 nake mũthuuriwe aigue ũhoro ũcio, no aage kũmwĩra ũndũ kana aage kũmũgiria, hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩĩhĩtwa yake yothe, kana ciĩranĩro iria ehingĩte nacio we mwene, nĩigatũũra.
and if her husband hears about it but does not object, she must do what she promised.
12 No mũthuuriwe angĩregana na ũhoro ũcio hĩndĩ ĩyo aũigua-rĩ, hatirĩ o na kĩmwe kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa kana ciĩranĩro iria ciumĩte kanua gake igaatũũra. Mũthuuriwe nĩareganĩte nacio, nake Jehova nĩakamũrekera.
But if he hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing it.
13 Mũthuuriwe no etĩkĩre kana aregane na mwĩhĩtwa o wothe ũrĩa angĩĩhĩta kana kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa eranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa gĩa kwĩrega we mwene.
A woman’s husband may require her to do what she has promised, or he may not allow her to do what she has promised.
14 No mũthuuriwe angĩaga kũmwĩra ũndũ igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũcio mũthenya o mũthenya, nĩetĩkĩrĩte mĩĩhĩtwa yake kana ciĩranĩro iria imuohete. Nĩetĩkĩrĩte maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kũmwĩra ũndũ rĩrĩa aigua ũhoro ũcio.
If he does not object for several days [after he hears about it], she must do what she promised.
15 No angĩrega maũndũ macio thuutha hanini, aarĩkia kũmaigua, nĩwe ũngĩcookererwo nĩ mahĩtia ma mũtumia wake.”
But if he waits a long time after she has promised to do something and then he tells her that he will not permit her to do it, if she does not do what she promised, [she will not be punished]; her husband is the one whom [Yahweh] will punish.”
16 Macio nĩmo mawatho marĩa Jehova aaheire Musa makoniĩ mũndũ na mũtumia wake, na makoniĩ ithe na mwarĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gwake mũciĩ.
Those are the rules that Yahweh gave to Moses/me for husbands and wives, and for young women who are still living with their parents.
