4 Mose 30
1 Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanyimfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade ahyɛ se:
And Moses speaks to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has 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.
When a man vows a vow to YHWH, or has sworn an oath to bind a bond on his soul, he does not defile his word; he does according to all that is going out from his mouth.
3 “Sɛ ababaa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ bere a ɔda so te nʼagya fi,
And when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and has bound a bond in the house of her father 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 has heard her vow and her bond which she has bound on her soul, and her father has kept silent to her, then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
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.
And if her father has disallowed her in the day of his hearing, none of her vows and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established, and YHWH is propitious to her, for her father has disallowed her.
6 “Sɛ ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam ansa na ɔware na ɛbɛyɛ asodi ma no
And if she is having a husband, and her vows [are] on her, or a wrongful utterance [on] her lips which she has bound on 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 has heard, and in the day of his hearing he has kept silent to her, then her vows have been established, and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established.
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.
And if in the day of her husband’s hearing he disallows her, then he has broken her vow which [is] on her, and the wrongful utterance of her lips which she has bound on her soul, and YHWH is propitious to her.
9 “Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea kunafo anaa nea wɔagyaa no aware no di ne ntam a ɔbɛka anaa bɔ a ɔbɛhyɛ no biara so.
As for the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she has bound on her soul is established on her.
10 “Sɛ waware na ɔte ne kunu fi na ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam,
And if she has vowed [in] the house of her husband, or has bound a bond on her soul with an oath,
11 na ne kunu no te na wansiw no ho kwan a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
and her husband has heard, and has kept silent to her—he has not disallowed her—then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
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.
And if her husband certainly breaks them in the day of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established—her husband has broken them—and YHWH is propitious to 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 oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband establishes it, or her husband breaks 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 certainly keeps silent to her from day to day, then he has established all her vows or all her bonds which [are] on her; he has established them, for he has kept silent to her in the day of his hearing;
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.”
and if he indeed breaks them after his hearing, then he has borne 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 YHWH has commanded Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth, [in] the house of her father.
