4 Mose 30
1 Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanyimfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade ahyɛ se:
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
2 Sɛ obi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obu so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ nea ɔkaa se ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
3 “Sɛ ababaa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ bere a ɔda so te nʼagya fi,
If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,
4 na nʼagya no te sɛ ne ba no ahyɛ bɔ, na wanka hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ ne ne ntam a ɔkaa no nyinaa no di mu.
and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ nʼagya no siw no bɔhyɛ no ho kwan a, etwa ne bɔhyɛ ne ntam a ɔkae no mu. Awurade de bɛkyɛ ababaa no, efisɛ nʼagya ampene sɛ obedi so.
But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.
6 “Sɛ ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam ansa na ɔware na ɛbɛyɛ asodi ma no
And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,
7 na ne kunu no te saa bɔhyɛ no ho asɛm nanso wanka ho hwee a, na ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 Na sɛ ne kunu no te na osiw no ho kwan a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ watwa mu a bɔhyɛ no anaa ntam no ho asodi nna ne so bio, enti Awurade de ne ho bɛkyɛ no.
But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.
9 “Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea kunafo anaa nea wɔagyaa no aware no di ne ntam a ɔbɛka anaa bɔ a ɔbɛhyɛ no biara so.
But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, — everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
10 “Sɛ waware na ɔte ne kunu fi na ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam,
And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
11 na ne kunu no te na wansiw no ho kwan a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
12 Na sɛ ne kunu no te na, sɛ wampene so na, otwa mu a, na ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de ne ho bɛkyɛ no.
But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
13 Enti ne kunu no betumi asi ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ anaa ntam a ɔka no so dua anaasɛ obetwa mu.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
14 Sɛ da mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee ankyerɛ no de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔpene so wɔ hwee a wanka amfa ho no nti.
And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
15 Sɛ ɔtwɛn ma mmere bi fa so ansa na ɔka se bɔhyɛ no nni mu a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsoa ɔbea no mfomso no ho asodi.”
But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 Eyinom ne mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de maa ɔbarima ne ne yere, ne agya ne ne babea a ɔda so te ne fi no.
These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
