Numeri 30
1 Mozisi akati kuvakuru vamarudzi avaIsraeri, “Izvi ndizvo zvarayirwa naJehovha:
Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:
2 Kana munhu akaita mhiko kuna Jehovha kana kuzvisunga nokupika, haafaniri kuputsa shoko rake asi anofanira kuita zvose zvaakareva.
If a man makes a solemn promise to the Lord, or pledges to do something by swearing an oath, he must not break his promise. He must do everything he said he would.
3 “Kana musikana achiri kugara mumba mababa vake akaita mhiko kuna Jehovha kana kuti akazvisunga nokupika,
If a woman who's young and still living in her father's house makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath
4 uye baba vake vakanzwa pamusoro pezvaapika, vakasataura chinhu kwaari, ipapo zvose zvaapika uye nezvose zvaazvisunga kupika zvichasimbiswa.
and her father finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
5 Asi kana baba vake vakamudzivisa pavanonzwa nezvazvo, zvaapika zvose nezvaazvisunga nazvo achipika hazvingavi nesimba; Jehovha achamusunungura nokuti baba vake vamudzivisa.
But if her father disallows them as soon as he finds out, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her father has disallowed them.
6 “Kana akawanikwa mushure mokunge aita mhiko, kana mushure mokunge muromo wake wakurumidza kutaura achivimbisa nokuzvisunga,
If a woman marries after having made a solemn promise or sworn an oath without thinking
7 uye murume wake akazvinzwa asi akasataura chinhu kwaari, ipapo mhiko dzake kana zvaakazvisunga nazvo zvichasimbiswa.
and her husband finds out about it but doesn't say anything to her right away, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
8 Asi kana murume wake amudzivisa paanenge anzwa nezvazvo, anokonesa mhiko iya inomusunga, kana vimbiso yaangazvisunga nayo, uye ipapo Jehovha achamusunungura.
But if her husband disallows them when he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid and the Lord will release her from keeping them.
9 “Mhiko ipi zvayo kana chisungo chaitwa nechirikadzi kana mukadzi akarambwa chichava nesimba kwaari.
Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.
10 “Kana mukadzi agere nomurume wake akaita mhiko kana kuti akazvisunga nemhiko
If a woman living with her husband makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath,
11 uye murume wake akanzwa nezvazvo asi akasataura chinhu kwaari uye asingamudzivisi, ipapo mhiko dzake kana zvaakazvisunga pakupika zvichava nesimba.
and her husband finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her and doesn't disallow them, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid.
12 Asi kana murume wake akazvikonesa paanenge anzwa nezvazvo, ipapo hapana chaakapika kana zvaakazvisunga nazvo nemhiko nezvaakataura nomuromo wake zvichava nesimba. Murume wake azvikonesa, uye Jehovha achamusunungura.
But if her husband disallows them as soon as he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her husband has disallowed them.
13 Murume wake anogona kutsigira kana kukonesa mhiko ipi zvayo yaanopika kuti azvininipise nayo.
Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.
14 Asi kana murume wake akashaya chaanotaura kwaari zuva nezuva, ipapo ari kusimbisa mhiko dzake uye zvaakapika zvinomusunga. Anozvisimbisa nokusataura kwake chinhu kwaari paanenge anzwa nezvazvo.
But if her husband doesn't ever say a word to her about it, then he is assumed to have confirmed all the solemn promises and pledges she has made.
15 Kana zvakadaro, akazozvikonesa pane dzimwe nguva, mushure mokunge azvinzwa, ipapo iye achatakura mhosva yomukadzi wake.”
However, if he disallows them some time later after finding out about them, then he will bear the responsibility for her breaking them.”
16 Iyi ndiyo mitemo yakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha pamusoro poukama pakati pomurume nomukadzi wake, uye pakati pababa nomwanasikana wavo muduku agere mumba mavo.
These are the regulations that the Lord gave to Moses regarding the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a daughter who is young and still living at home.
