Mitango 30

1 Moyize alobaki na bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele: « Tala mobeko oyo Yawe asili kopesa:

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 ‹ 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.

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 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,

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 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.

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

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 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 Soki elenge mwasi yango abali sima na kolapa ndayi to sima monoko na ye kobimisa ekateli;

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 bongo mobali na ye ayoki yango mpe alobi na ye eloko moko te, ndayi oyo alapaki to ekateli oyo azwaki ekotikala se bongo.

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 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 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 Soki mwasi oyo akufisa mobali to oyo babengana na libala alapi ndayi to azwi ekateli ezala ya ndenge nini, asengeli kokokisa yango.

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 Soki mwasi ya libala alapi ndayi to azwi ekateli na nzela ya seleka;

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

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 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 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 Mobali na ye azali na bokonzi ya kondima to koboya ndayi nyonso oyo alapi to ekateli nyonso oyo asili kozwa na kokila bilei.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel 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 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 Nzokande, soki akweyisi ndayi to ekateli yango, sima na koyoka yango, ye nde akomema mokumba ya mbeba ya mwasi na ye. › »

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 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 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.
