Nomipā 30

1 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa eni kuo fekau ʻe Sihova.

Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the people of Israel. He said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded.

2 Kapau ʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ha tangata ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, pe fuakava ʻaki ʻae fuakava ke nonoʻo hono laumālie ʻaki ʻae lea papau; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakakehe ʻene lea, ka ʻe fai ia ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi hono ngutu.

When anyone makes a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind himself with a promise, he must not break his word. He must keep his promise to do everything that comes out of his mouth.

3 Kapau ʻe fuakava ʻaki foki ʻe ha fefine ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ia ʻae lea papau, ka ʻoku kei ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai, pea kei tāupoʻou ia.

When a young woman living in her father's house makes a vow to Yahweh and binds herself with a promise,

4 Pea fanongo ʻa ʻene tamai ki heʻene fuakava, mo ʻene lea papau ʻaia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie, pea fakalongo pē ʻa ʻene tamai kiate ia, ʻe toki maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava kotoa pē, pea maʻu ʻae lea papau kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ia.

if her father hears the vow and the promise by which she has bound herself, and if he says nothing to reverse her, then all her vows will remain in force. Every promise by which she has bound herself will remain in force.

5 Pea kapau ʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku fanongo ai ia; pehē, ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻene ngaahi fuakava, he ko ʻene ngaahi lea papau ʻaia naʻa ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻa hono laumālie: pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai.

But if her father hears about her vow and her promise, and if he says nothing to her, then all the vows and promises that she took on herself will remain in force.

6 Pea kapau naʻe ai ʻa hono husepāniti, ʻi heʻene fuakava, pe [ko ʻene ]lea ʻaki ha meʻa mei hono loungutu, ke nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie;

However, if her father hears all the vows she made and her solemn promises with which she has bound herself, and if he overrules her on that same day, then they will not remain in force. Yahweh will forgive her because her father had overruled her.

7 Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa hono husepāniti, pea naʻe fakalongo pē ia kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ne ne fanongo ki ai; pehē ʻe maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava, mo ʻene lea papau ʻaia kuo ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie.

If she marries a man while she is under those vows, or if she makes rash promises with which she obligates herself, those obligations will remain in force.

8 Pea kapau ʻoku taʻofi ia ʻe hono husepāniti ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku fanongo ia ki ai; pehē te ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻa ʻene fuakava, ʻaia ne ne fuakava ʻaki; pea mo ia ne ne lea ʻaki ʻe hono loungutu, ʻaia naʻa ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie, pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova.

But if her husband stops her on the day that he hears about it, then he cancels the vow that she has made, the rash talk of her lips with which she has bound herself. Yahweh will release her.

9 Ka ko e fuakava kotoa pē ʻae fefine paea, pea mo ia kuo tukuange, ʻaia kuo na nonoʻo ʻaki hona laumālie, ʻe maʻu ia kiate ia.

But as for a widow or a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself will remain in force against her.

10 Pea kapau naʻe fuakava ia ʻi he fale ʻo hono husepāniti, pe nonoʻo hono laumālie ʻaki ʻae lea papau mo e fuakava;

If a woman made a vow in her husband's house or obligates herself by taking an oath,

11 Pea fanongo ki ai ʻa hono husepāniti, ka naʻe fakalongo ia kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia: pehē ʻe maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava kotoa pē, pea ʻe maʻu ai mo e lea papau ʻaia ne ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻa hono laumālie.

and her husband hears of it, but he says nothing to her and he does oppose her, then all her vows must stand and the obligations she made must remain in force.

12 Pea kapau naʻe fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻaupito ia ʻe hono husepāniti ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanongo ia ki ai: pehē ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻaia kuo ʻalu ʻi hono loungutu, ʻi heʻene ngaahi fuakava, pe ko e nonoʻo ʻo hono laumālie, he kuo fakataʻeaongaʻi ia ʻe hono husepāniti; pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova.

But if her husband cancels them on the day that he heard about them, then whatever came out of her lips about her vows or promises will not remain in force. Her husband has canceled them. Yahweh will release her.

13 Ko e fuakava kotoa pē, pea mo e fuakava ʻi he lea papau kotoa pē ke fakamamahi ʻae loto, ʻoku ʻi hono husepāniti ke fakamaʻu ia, pea ʻoku ʻi hono husepāniti ke fakataʻeaongaʻi ia.

Every vow or oath a woman takes that binds her to deny herself something may be confirmed or canceled by her husband.

14 Pea kapau ʻe mātuʻaki fakalongo pē ʻa hono husepāniti mei he ʻaho ki he ʻaho; ʻoku ne fakamaʻu ai ʻa ʻene fuakava kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi lea papau, ʻaia kuo ne fai: ʻoku ne fakamaʻu ia, koeʻuhi naʻe fakalongo pē ia kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanongo ia ki ai.

But if he says nothing at all to her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and binding promises that she has made. He has confirmed them because he has said nothing to her at the time that he heard about them.

15 Pea kapau te ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ia ʻi he hili ʻene fanongo ki ai; ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻa ʻene angahala.

If her husband tries to cancel his wife's vow a long time after he has heard about it, then he will be responsible for her sin.”

16 Ko e ngaahi fono eni naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, ki he tangata mo hono uaifi, pea mo e tamai mo hono ʻofefine ʻoku kei tāupoʻou ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.

These are the statutes that Yahweh commanded Moses to announce—statutes for what is between a man and his wife and between a father and his daughter when she is in her youth in her father's family.
