Ndari 30
1 Musa akĩĩra atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ: “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:
Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.
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.
When a man vows a vow to the LORD, 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.
3 “Rĩrĩa mũirĩtu ũrĩ gwa ithe mũciĩ angĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova, kana ehinge na mũhingo na ũndũ wa kĩĩranĩro,
“Also, when a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth,
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 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.
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 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. The LORD will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
6 “No angĩhika arĩkĩtie kwĩhĩta, kana thuutha wa kwĩranĩra ũndũ na kanua gake ateciirĩtie ũhoro wa kĩĩranĩro kĩu ehingĩte nakĩo,
“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,
7 nake mũthuuriwe aigue ũhoro ũcio na aage kũmwĩra ũndũ, hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩĩhĩtwa yake kana ciĩranĩro icio ehingĩte nacio we mwene nĩigatũũra.
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.
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 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. The LORD will forgive her.
9 “Mwĩhĩtwa o wothe kana ũndũ ũrĩa mũtumia wa ndigwa kana mũtumia ũrĩa ũtiganĩte na mũthuuriwe angĩkorwo ehĩtĩte nĩatũũre aũrũmĩtie.
“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her.
10 “Mũtumia ũrĩ na mũthuuriwe angĩĩhĩta kana ehinge we mwene na kĩĩranĩro kĩa mwĩhĩtwa,
“If she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
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 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.
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 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. The LORD will forgive her.
13 Mũthuuriwe no etĩkĩre kana aregane na mwĩhĩtwa o wothe ũrĩa angĩĩhĩta kana kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa eranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa gĩa kwĩrega we mwene.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
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.
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.
15 No angĩrega maũndũ macio thuutha hanini, aarĩkia kũmaigua, nĩwe ũngĩcookererwo nĩ mahĩtia ma mũtumia wake.”
But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
16 Macio nĩmo mawatho marĩa Jehova aaheire Musa makoniĩ mũndũ na mũtumia wake, na makoniĩ ithe na mwarĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gwake mũciĩ.
These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
