Vows
1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
Kisha Musa akanena na wale vichwa vya kabila za wana wa Israeli, na kuwaambia, Neno hili ndilo aliloliagiza Bwana.
2 If a man vow a vow unto 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.
Mtu atakapomwekea Bwana nadhiri, au, atakapoapa kiapo ili kufunga nafsi yake kwa kifungo, asilitangue neno lake; atafanya sawasawa na hayo yote yamtokayo kinywani mwake.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
Tena mtu mke atakapomwekea Bwana nadhiri, na kufunga nafsi yake kwa kifungo, naye aketi katika nyumba ya babaye, katika ujana wake;
4 and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
babaye naye akasikia nadhiri yake, na kile kifungo chake alichofungia nafsi yake, na babaye akamnyamazia; ndipo nadhiri zake zote zitathibitika, na kila kifungo alichofungia nafsi yake kitathibitika.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Lakini kama huyo babaye akimkataza siku hiyo aliyosikia; nadhiri zake ziwazo zote, wala vifungo vyake alivyoifungia nafsi yake havitathibitika; na Bwana atamsamehe, kwa kuwa babaye alimkataza.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
Tena kama amekwisha kuolewa na mume, wakati huo wa nadhiri zake, au wa neno hilo alilolitamka kwa midomo yake pasipo kufikiri, alilojifungia;
7 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 wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
na mumewe akasikia, naye akamnyamazia siku hiyo aliyosikia neno hilo; ndipo nadhiri zake zitathibitika, na vile vifungo ambavyo ameifunga nafsi yake vitathibitika.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it ; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
Lakini kama mumewe akimkataza siku hiyo aliyolisikia; ndipo ataitangua nadhiri yake iliyo juu yake na neno alilolitamka kwa midomo yake pasipo kufikiri, alilojifungia; na Bwana atamsamehe
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
Lakini nadhiri ya mjane, au ya mwanamke aliyeachishwa mume, kila neno ambalo ameifunga nafsi yake kwalo, litathibitika juu yake.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
Tena kama aliweka nadhiri nyumbani mwa mumewe, au kama aliifunga nafsi yake kwa kifungo pamoja na kiapo,
11 and her husband heard it , and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
na mumewe alisikia akamnyamazia, wala hakumkataza; ndipo nadhiri zake zote zitathibitika, na kila kifungo alichojifungia kitathibitika.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever 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.
Lakini kama mumewe alizibatilisha na kuzitangua siku hiyo aliyozisikia, ndipo kila neno lililotoka midomoni mwake katika hizo nadhiri zake, au katika kile kifungo cha nafsi yake, halitathibitika; huyo mumewe amezitangua; na Bwana atamsamehe.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Kila nadhiri, na kila kiapo kifungacho, ili kuitaabisha nafsi ya mwanamke mumewe aweza kuthibitisha, au mumewe aweza kutangua.
14 But if her husband altogether hold 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 .
Lakini mumewe akimnyamazia mkewe kabisa siku hata siku ndipo azithibitisha nadhiri zote za mkewe, au vifungo vyake vyote vilivyo juu yake; yeye amezithibitisha, kwa kuwa alimnyamazia mkewe siku hiyo aliyozisikia nadhiri zake.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them ; then he shall bear her iniquity.
Lakini akizibatilisha na kuzitangua baada ya kuzisikia; ndipo yeye atachukua uovu wa mkewe.
16 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.
Hizi ndizo amri, ambazo Bwana alimwagiza Musa, kati ya mtu mume na mkewe, kati ya baba na binti yake, katika ujana wake, ali nyumbani mwa babaye.
