4 Mose 30
1 Afei, Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade ahyɛ sɛ,
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 no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbu so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ deɛ ɔka sɛ 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 ababaawa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ ɛberɛ a ɔda so te nʼagya fie,
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 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 si no bɔhyɛ no ho ɛkwan ɛda a ɔbɛte no a, ɔde sɛe bɔhyɛ no. Awurade de bɛkyɛ ababaawa no, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼagya ampene sɛ ɔbɛdi 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 a ɛnyɛ na akyire no ɔkɔware
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 ɛda no ara a, ne bɔhyɛ no di dwuma.
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 po bɔhyɛ bɔne no a, po a ɔpoeɛ no di mu enti, Awurade de 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 “Sɛ ɔbaa yɛ okunafoɔ anaa wɔagyaa no aware a, ɛkwan biara so, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi ne bɔhyɛ nyinaa 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 fie a ɛhɔ na ɔhyɛɛ ɛbɔ no,
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 teeɛ na wanka ho hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ no di mu.
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 ɛda no ara a ɔteeɛ no, sɛ wampene so a, ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de 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 na ɔbɛsi so dua anaasɛ ɔbɛkasa atia bɔhyɛ no.
Every vow and every oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband establishes it, or her husband breaks it;
14 Sɛ ɛda mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee deɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔpene so.
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 ɛda koro fa so na sɛ ɔbɛka sɛ bɔhyɛ no nni mu a, ɛho asotwe biara a ɔbaa no penee so no bɛba ɔbarima no so.”
and if he indeed breaks them after his hearing, then he has borne her iniquity.”
16 Yei ne mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de maa ɔbarima ne ne yere ne agya ne ne babaa a wɔn nyinaa te efie baako mu 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.
