Hesabu 30
1 Mose akawaambia viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli: “Hili ndilo Bwana analoagiza:
Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
2 Mwanaume awekapo nadhiri kwa Bwana, au anapoapa kujifunga kwa ahadi, kamwe asitangue neno lake, bali ni lazima afanye kila kitu alichosema.
If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
3 “Wakati mwanamwali anayeishi bado nyumbani kwa baba yake atakapoweka nadhiri kwa Bwana, ama amejifunga mwenyewe kwa ahadi,
And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,
4 na baba yake akasikia kuhusu nadhiri au ahadi yake lakini asimwambie lolote, ndipo nadhiri zake zote na kila ahadi aliyoiweka na kujifunga kwayo itathibitika.
and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
5 Lakini kama baba yake akimkataza wakati anapoisikia, hakuna nadhiri wala ahadi yake yoyote aliyojifunga kwayo itakayosimama; Bwana atamweka huru huyo mwanamwali kwa sababu baba yake amemkataza.
But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.
6 “Ikiwa ataolewa baada ya kuweka nadhiri au baada ya midomo yake kutamka ahadi fulani bila kufikiri akawa amejifunga hivyo,
If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,
7 na mume wake akasikia habari hiyo asimwambie neno lolote, ndipo nadhiri zake ama ahadi zake ambazo alikuwa amejifunga nazo zitathibitika.
and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
8 Lakini ikiwa mume wake atamkataza atakaposikia kuhusu hilo, atakuwa ametangua nadhiri ambazo zilikuwa zimemfunga mkewe, ama ahadi aliyotamka pasipo kufikiri ambayo amejifunga kwayo, naye Bwana atamweka huru yule mwanamke.
But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.
9 “Nadhiri yoyote ama patano ambalo limefanywa na mjane ama mwanamke aliyeachwa vitakuwa vimemfunga.
Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.
10 “Ikiwa mwanamke anayeishi na mumewe ataweka nadhiri ama kujifunga mwenyewe kwa ahadi chini ya kiapo,
If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,
11 na mumewe akasikia kuhusu jambo hili lakini asimwambie lolote wala hakumkataza, ndipo viapo vyake vyote au ahadi zinazomfunga zitakapothibitika.
and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
12 Lakini ikiwa mumewe atabatilisha nadhiri hizo baada ya kuzisikia, basi hakuna nadhiri au ahadi zozote alizoziweka kwa midomo yake zitakazothibitika. Mumewe atakuwa amezibatilisha, na Bwana atamweka huru yule mwanamke.
But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.
13 Mumewe anaweza kuthibitisha au kutangua nadhiri yoyote anayoweka, au ahadi yoyote aliyoweka kwa kuapa ili kujikana mwenyewe.
Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
14 Lakini ikiwa mumewe hasemi lolote kwake kuhusu jambo hilo siku baada ya siku, basi mumewe atakuwa amethibitisha nadhiri zote, na ahadi zote zinazomfunga mkewe. Anavithibitisha kwa kutokusema lolote kwa mkewe anapoyasikia hayo.
But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.
15 Hata hivyo, ikiwa mumewe atavibatilisha baada ya kusikia hayo, basi atawajibika kwa hatia ya mkewe.”
But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”
16 Haya ndiyo masharti ambayo Bwana alimpa Mose kuhusu mahusiano kati ya mtu na mkewe, na kati ya baba na binti yake ambaye bado anaishi nyumbani kwa baba yake.
These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.
