4 Mose 30
1 Afei, Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade ahyɛ sɛ,
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath 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.
If a man shall vow a vow to the LORD, or swear 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 “Sɛ ababaawa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ ɛberɛ a ɔda so te nʼagya fie,
If a woman also shall vow a vow to the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being 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 no di mu.
And her father shall hear her vow, and her bond by which she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she hath bound her soul shall stand.
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.
But if her father shall overrule her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds by which she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father overruled her.
6 “Sɛ ɔhyɛ bɔ a ɛnyɛ na akyire no ɔkɔware
And if she had an husband, when she vowed, or uttered any thing from her lips, by which she bound 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 heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds by which she bound her soul shall stand.
8 Na sɛ ne kunu no po bɔhyɛ bɔne no a, po a ɔpoeɛ no di mu enti, Awurade de bɛkyɛ no.
But if her husband overruled her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make of no effect her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, by which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.
9 “Sɛ ɔbaa yɛ okunafoɔ anaa wɔagyaa no aware a, ɛkwan biara so, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi ne bɔhyɛ nyinaa so.
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, by which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 “Sɛ waware na ɔte ne kunu fie a ɛhɔ na ɔhyɛɛ ɛbɔ no,
And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
11 na ne kunu no teeɛ na wanka ho hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ no di mu.
And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and overruled her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she bound her soul shall stand.
12 Na sɛ ɛda no ara a ɔteeɛ no, sɛ wampene so a, ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de bɛkyɛ no.
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatever 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 Enti, ne kunu na ɔbɛsi so dua anaasɛ ɔbɛkasa atia bɔhyɛ no.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 Sɛ ɛda mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee deɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔpene so.
But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
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.”
But if he shall in any way make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear 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 the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
