Tauanga 30
1 Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga ariki o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea, Ko te mea tenei i whakahaua e Ihowa.
Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the people of Israel. He said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded.
2 Ki te puaki i tetahi te kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki te oati ranei i te oati e mau ai tona wairua te here; kei whakataka e ia tana kupu, kia rite tana e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i tona mangai.
When anyone makes a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind himself with a promise, he must not break his word. He must keep his promise to do everything that comes out of his mouth.
3 A, mehemea he ki taurangi ta te wahine ki a Ihowa, a ka mau tana here ki a ia, i a ia ano i te whare o tona papa i tona tamarikitanga;
When a young woman living in her father's house makes a vow to Yahweh and binds herself with a promise,
4 A ka rongo tona papa ki tana ki taurangi, ki tana here hoki i herea ai tona wairua, a ka whakarongo kau tona papa ki a ia; na, ka mau ana ki taurangi katoa, ka mau ano hoki nga here katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua.
if her father hears the vow and the promise by which she has bound herself, and if he says nothing to reverse her, then all her vows will remain in force. Every promise by which she has bound herself will remain in force.
5 Tena ia, ki te whakakahoretia e tona papa i te ra i rongo ai ia; e kore tetahi o ana ki taurangi, o ana here hoki e herea ai e ia tona wairua e u: a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia, no te mea kua whakakahoretia tana e tona papa.
But if her father hears about her vow and her promise, and if he says nothing to her, then all the vows and promises that she took on herself will remain in force.
6 A ki te mea he tahu tana, a ka puaki tana ki taurangi, ka puta hohoro mai ranei i ona ngutu te mea e herea ai e ia tona wairua;
However, if her father hears all the vows she made and her solemn promises with which she has bound herself, and if he overrules her on that same day, then they will not remain in force. Yahweh will forgive her because her father had overruled her.
7 A ka rongo tana tahu, a ka whakarongo puku ki a ia i te ra i rongo ai; na, ka u ana ki taurangi, ka mau ano hoki nga here i herea ai e ia tona wairua.
If she marries a man while she is under those vows, or if she makes rash promises with which she obligates herself, those obligations will remain in force.
8 Tena ia, ki te whakakahoretia tana e tana tahu i te ra i rongo ai ia; na ka taka tana ki taurangi i puaki i a ia, me te mea i puta hohoro mai i ona ngutu, i herea ai e ia tona wairua: a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia.
But if her husband stops her on the day that he hears about it, then he cancels the vow that she has made, the rash talk of her lips with which she has bound herself. Yahweh will release her.
9 Ko te ki taurangi ia a te pouaru, a te wahine ranei i whakarerea, ara ko nga mea katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua, ka u ki a ia.
But as for a widow or a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself will remain in force against her.
10 Ki te mea ia no te whare mai ano o tana tahu tana ki taurangi, tana herenga ranei i te here, ara i te oati, ki tona wairua,
If a woman made a vow in her husband's house or obligates herself by taking an oath,
11 A i rongo ano tana tahu, i whakarongo puku hoki ki a ia, a kihai i whakakahore i tana: na ka mau ana ki taurangi katoa, ka mau ano hoki nga here katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua.
and her husband hears of it, but he says nothing to her and he does oppose her, then all her vows must stand and the obligations she made must remain in force.
12 Tena ia, mehemea i whakataka rawatia aua mea e tana tahu i te ra i rongo ai ia; e kore e u tetahi mea i puta mai i ona ngutu mo ana ki taurangi, mo te mea e herea ai tona wairua: kua whakataka e tana tahu; a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia.
But if her husband cancels them on the day that he heard about them, then whatever came out of her lips about her vows or promises will not remain in force. Her husband has canceled them. Yahweh will release her.
13 Ko nga ki taurangi katoa, ko nga oati here katoa hei pehi i te wairua, ma tana tahu e whakau, ma tana tahu hoki e whakataka.
Every vow or oath a woman takes that binds her to deny herself something may be confirmed or canceled by her husband.
14 Ki te whakarongo puku tonu ia tana tahu i tena ra, i tena ra; na e whakau ana ia i ana ki taurangi katoa, ara i ana here katoa i mau ai ia: kua whakaungia e ia, no te mea i whakarongo puku ia ki a ia i te ra i rongona ai.
But if he says nothing at all to her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and binding promises that she has made. He has confirmed them because he has said nothing to her at the time that he heard about them.
15 Ki te whakataka rawatia ia e ia aua mea i muri iho i tona rongonga; na mana e waha te kino o te wahine.
If her husband tries to cancel his wife's vow a long time after he has heard about it, then he will be responsible for her sin.”
16 Ko nga tikanga enei i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi ma te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ma te papa raua ko tana tamahine i te mea he taitamahine ia, i te whare o tona papa.
These are the statutes that Yahweh commanded Moses to announce—statutes for what is between a man and his wife and between a father and his daughter when she is in her youth in her father's family.
