1 Moyize alobaki na bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele: « Tala mobeko oyo Yawe asili kopesa:
And he said to the princes of the tribes of the children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:
2 ‹ Soki moto apesi elaka epai na Yawe na nzela ya ndayi to azwi ekateli songolo na nzela ya ndayi, tika ete akokisa elaka na ye, asala kolanda maloba oyo ebimaki na monoko na ye.
If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfill all that he promised.
3 Soki elenge moko ya mwasi alapi ndayi epai na Yawe, wana azali nanu na ndako ya tata na ye to azwi ekateli moko na nzela ya seleka,
If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father’s house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:
4 bongo tata na ye ayoki ndayi to ekateli yango mpe alobi na ye eloko moko te, ndayi nyonso oyo alapaki mpe ekateli nyonso oyo azwaki ekotikala se bongo.
Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfill in deed.
5 Kasi soki tata na ye atelemeli ye tango ayoki yango, ndayi nyonso oyo alapaki mpe ekateli nyonso oyo azwaki ekokoma pamba. Yawe akotangela ye yango te lokola niongo, pamba te tata na ye aboyi yango.
But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.
6 Soki elenge mwasi yango abali sima na kolapa ndayi to sima monoko na ye kobimisa ekateli;
If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:
7 bongo mobali na ye ayoki yango mpe alobi na ye eloko moko te, ndayi oyo alapaki to ekateli oyo azwaki ekotikala se bongo.
The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised.
8 Kasi soki mobali na ye atelemeli ye tango ayoki yango, akweyisi nde ndayi oyo ekangaki ye to ekateli oyo azwaki ye moko mpe ebimaki na monoko na ye. Yawe akotangela ye yango lokola niongo te.
But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect: the Lord will forgive her.
9 Soki mwasi oyo akufisa mobali to oyo babengana na libala alapi ndayi to azwi ekateli ezala ya ndenge nini, asengeli kokokisa yango.
The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfill whatsoever they vow.
10 Soki mwasi ya libala alapi ndayi to azwi ekateli na nzela ya seleka;
If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath,
11 bongo, mobali na ye ayoki yango mpe alobi na ye eloko moko te mpe apekisi ye te, ndayi oyo alapaki mpe ekateli oyo azwaki ekotikala se bongo.
If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.
12 Kasi soki mobali na ye akweyisi yango tango ayoki yango, ndayi moko te to ekateli moko te oyo ebimaki na monoko na ye ekotikala bongo. Pamba te mobali na ye akweyisi yango, mpe Yawe akotangela ye yango lokola niongo te.
But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be merciful to her.
13 Mobali na ye azali na bokonzi ya kondima to koboya ndayi nyonso oyo alapi to ekateli nyonso oyo asili kozwa na kokila bilei.
If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.
14 Kasi soki mobali na ye alobi na ye eloko moko te kino na mokolo oyo ekolanda, elakisi ete asili kondima ndayi nyonso to ekateli nyonso oyo mwasi na ye azwaki. Andimi yango, pamba te alobi eloko moko te tango ayokaki yango.
But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and promised, she shall fulfill: because immediately as he heard it, he held his peace.
15 Nzokande, soki akweyisi ndayi to ekateli yango, sima na koyoka yango, ye nde akomema mokumba ya mbeba ya mwasi na ye. › »
But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.
16 Tala bikateli oyo Yawe apesaki epai na Moyize na tina na boyokani kati na mobali mpe mwasi na ye, kati na tata mpe bilenge basi oyo bazali na ndako na ye.
These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father’s house.
