Amanani 30

1 UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhloko zezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi elaye ngayo:

Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.

2 Nxa indoda ithembisa isithembiso eNkosini, loba ifunga isifungo, ukubopha umphefumulo wayo ngesibopho, kayingephuli ilizwi layo; izakwenza njengakho konke okuphuma emlonyeni wayo.

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 Futhi nxa owesifazana ethembisa isithembiso eNkosini, azibophe ngesibopho, esesemzini kayise ebutsheni bakhe,

“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 loyise esizwa isithembiso sakhe lesibopho sakhe abophe ngaso umphefumulo wakhe, loyise athule kuye, khona zonke izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, laso sonke isibopho abopha ngaso umphefumulo wakhe sizakuma.

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 Kodwa uba uyise emenqabela, ngosuku ezwa ngalo, kakuyikuma lesisodwa sezithembiso zakhe lezibopho zakhe abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe; leNkosi izamthethelela, ngoba uyise emnqabele.

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 Uba-ke elendoda sibili, lezithembiso zakhe ziphezu kwakhe, kumbe ilizwi lokungananzeleli lomlomo wakhe, abophe ngalo umphefumulo wakhe,

“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 lendoda yakhe ikuzwa, yathula kuye ngosuku ezwa ngalo, khona izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, lezibopho abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe zizakuma.

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 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe imenqabela ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo, iyasenza ize isithembiso esiphezu kwakhe, lelizwi lokungananzeleli lomlomo wakhe, abophe ngalo umphefumulo wakhe; leNkosi izamthethelela.

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 Kodwa isithembiso somfelokazi loba esolahliweyo, konke abophe ngakho umphefumulo wakhe, kuzakuma phezu kwakhe.

“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 Uba-ke ethembisile endlini yendoda yakhe, loba ebophe umphefumulo wakhe ngesibopho ngesifungo,

“If she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

11 lendoda yakhe izwile, yathula kuye, ingamenqabelanga, khona zonke izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, laso sonke isibopho abophe ngaso umphefumulo wakhe sizakuma.

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 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe izenza ize sibili ngosuku izizwa, konke okuphuma endebeni zakhe mayelana lezithembiso zakhe lamayelana lesibopho somphefumulo wakhe kakuyikuma; indoda yakhe izenze ize; leNkosi izamthethelela.

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 Sonke isithembiso laso sonke isifungo sesibopho ukuthobisa umphefumulo, indoda yakhe ingasiqinisa loba indoda yakhe isenze ize.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

14 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe ithula lokumthulela insuku ngensuku, abeseqinisa zonke izithembiso zakhe kumbe zonke izibopho zakhe eziphezu kwakhe; iyaziqinisa, ngoba yathula kuye ngosuku lokuzwa kwayo.

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 Kodwa uba izenza ize sibili emva kokuzwa kwayo, izathwala ububi bakhe.

But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”

16 Lezi yizimiso iNkosi eyamlaya zona uMozisi, phakathi kwendoda lomkayo, phakathi kukayise lendodakazi yakhe ebutsheni bayo emzini kayise.

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.
