Hesabu 30
1 Musa aliwambia viongizi wote wa makabila ya watu wa Israeli. “Hiki ndicho ambacho BWANA ameamuru.
Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
2 Mtu yeyote atakayefanya nadhiri kwa BWANA, au kuapa kwa kiapo ili kufunga nafsi yake kwa ahadi, asivunje neno lake. Atafanya sawa na ahadi yake imtokayo kinywani mwake.
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 Na kama binti anaishi katika nyumba ya baba yake kwa atafanya nadhiri kwa BWANA na kuifunga nafsi yake kwa kiapo,
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 kama baba yake atasikia hiyo nadhirina ahadi ambayo ametumia kuifunga nafsi yake, naye asiseme kitu kumzuia, ndipo nadhiri zake zitakuwa na nguvu. Kila ahadi ambayo ameitumia kuifunga nafsi yake itabaki kuwa na nguvu.
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 atasikia nadhairi yake na ahadi zake, na kama hatasema chochote kwake, ndipo nadhiri zake zote na ahadi alizofanya zitakapokuwa na nguvu.
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 Hata hivyo, kama baba yake atasikia nadhri zake zote alizofanya na ahadi zake makini ambazo ametumia kufunga nafsi yake, na kama atazitengua ndani ya siku hiyo, ndipo hizo nadhiri hazitakuwa na nguvu. BWANA atamsamehe kwa kuwa baba yake amemzuia.
If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,
7 Kama ataolewa angali katika hivyo viapo, au kama atafanya ahadi za bila kufikiri ambazo atajifunga nazo, hivyo vifungo vitakuwa na nguvu.
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 kama mume wake atamzuia siku hiyo hiyo ambayo atamskia akiapa, basi atabatailisha hicho kiapo alichokifanya, maneno yake ya midomo yaka ya bila kufikiri ambayo kwayo amefunga nafsi yake. BWANA atamfungua.
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 Lakini kwa mjane au kwa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa, kila kitu amabacho atakisema kufunga nafsi yake lazima kitabaki na nguvu kinyume na yeye.
Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.
10 Na kama mwanamke atafanya kiapo katika nyumba ya mume wake au akijifunga mwenyewe kwa kufanaya kiapo,
If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,
11 na mume wake akakisikia hicho kiapo na hakusema chochote kwake na hakumpinga, basi viapo vyake vitasimama na vifungo alivyovifanaya vitabaki na nguvu.
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 kama mume wake atamzuilia katika siku hiyo ambayo atavisikia, basi chochote ambacho kitatoka katika kinywa chake kuhusu viapo vyake au ahadi zake havitabaki kuwa na nguvu. Mume wake atkuwa amevibatilisha. BWANA atamfungua.
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 Kila kiapo ambacho mwanamke anakifanya ambacho kinamfunga ili kujikana kianaweza kuthibitika au kubatilishwa na mume wake.
Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
14 Lakini kama hatasema chochote kwake siku baada ya siku, basi atathibitisha nadhiri zake na ahadi zake zinazomfunga ambazo amefanya. Atakuwa amezithibitisha kwa sababu hakusema chochote wakati alipozisikia.
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 Na kama mume wake atajariibu kubatilisha kiapo cha mke wake baada ya kuzisikia kwa muda mrefu, basi ataajibika kwa dhambi zake.”
But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”
16 Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Mungu alimwamuru Musa kuzitangaza - amri ambazo ziko kati ya mume na mke wake na kati ya baba na binti yake wakati akiwa katika ujana wake katika familia ya 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.
