< Hesabu 30 >

1 Musa aliwambia viongizi wote wa makabila ya watu wa Israeli. “Hiki ndicho ambacho BWANA ameamuru.
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath 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.
When a man voweth a vow unto the LORD, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 Na kama binti anaishi katika nyumba ya baba yake kwa atafanya nadhiri kwa BWANA na kuifunga nafsi yake kwa kiapo,
Also when a woman voweth a vow unto the LORD, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth;
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 heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul 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 disallow her in the day that he heareth; none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed 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.
And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul;
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 hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul 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 disallow her in the day that he heareth it; then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.
9 Lakini kwa mjane au kwa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa, kila kitu amabacho atakisema kufunga nafsi yake lazima kitabaki na nguvu kinyume na yeye.
But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] every thing wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her.
10 Na kama mwanamke atafanya kiapo katika nyumba ya mume wake au akijifunga mwenyewe kwa kufanaya kiapo,
And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond 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 heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul 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 made them null and void in the day that he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
13 Kila kiapo ambacho mwanamke anakifanya ambacho kinamfunga ili kujikana kianaweza kuthibitika au kubatilishwa na mume wake.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
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 altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard 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 shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them; then he shall 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, 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.
