1And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 2If 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.30.2 break: Heb. profane
3If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth; 4And 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. 5But 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. 6And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;30.6 she vowed: Heb. her vows were upon her 7And 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. 8But 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. 9But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; 11And 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. 12But 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. 13Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14But 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. 15But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 16These 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.

1Mose anawuza Aisraeli onse zonse zimene Yehova anamulamula. Iye anati, “Zimene Yehova walamula ndi izi: 2Munthu wamwamuna ngati walonjeza kwa Yehova kapena kulumbira kuti adzachita zimene walumbirazo, asaphwanye mawuwo koma ayenera kuchita chilichonse chimene wanena.
3“Pamene munthu wamkazi amene akukhalabe mʼnyumba ya abambo ake alumbira kwa Yehova kuti adzachita zimene walonjeza pa ubwana wake, 4abambo ake namva kulumbira kwakeko kapena kulonjeza kwake kuti adzachitadi, ndipo abambo akewo wosayankhula kanthu, mkaziyo achitedi zomwe analumbirazo. Ayenera kudzachita zonse zimene walonjeza zija. 5Koma ngati abambo akewo amva kulumbira kwake ndi kumukaniza, palibe lamulo lomukakamiza mkaziyo kuchita zimene walonjeza. Yehova adzamukhululukira chifukwa abambo ake anamukaniza.
6“Ngati akwatiwa atalumbira kale kapena ngati alonjeza mofulumira ndi pakamwa pake, 7mwamuna wake ndi kumva kulumbira kwakeko koma wosanenapo kanthu, mkaziyo achitedi zomwe walumbirazo. Achite ndithu zomwe walonjeza zija. 8Koma ngati mwamuna wake amuletsa atamva kulumbira kwakeko, pamenepo amumasula mayiyo ku zimene analumbira komanso ku zimene analonjeza mosaganiza bwinozo ndipo Yehova adzamukhululukira.
9“Mayi wamasiye kapena wosiyidwa ukwati akalumbira kapena kulonjeza kuti adzachita kanthu kalikonse, ayenera kukachitadi.
10“Koma ngati mayi wokwatiwa alumbira nalonjeza kuti adzachitadi zimene walonjeza, 11mwamuna wake ndi kumva kulumbira kwakeko koma osayankhulapo kanthu, osamuletsa, ayenera kuchitadi zonse zimene walumbira ndi zonse zimene walonjeza. 12Koma ngati mwamuna wake amva ndi kumuletsa kuti asachite zomwe walumbirazo, palibe lamulo lomukakamiza mayiyo kuchita zomwe walumbirazo kapenanso zimene walonjeza. Popeza mwamuna wake wamuletsa, Yehova adzamukhululukira mayiyo. 13Mwamuna wake ali ndi mphamvu zovomereza kapena kukana zimene mayiyo walumbira kapena zimene walonjeza zokhudza kudzilanga yekha. 14Ndipo ngati mmawa mwake ndi masiku otsatira mwamuna wake sanenapo kanthu atamva zimenezi, mayiyo achitedi zimene walumbira kapena zimene walonjeza. Mwamunayo wavomereza zimenezo, chifukwa sanamuwuze kanthu mayiyo pa tsiku limene anamva akulonjeza kapena kulumbira. 15Koma ngati mwamunayo amukaniza patapita kanthawi atazimva kale, iyeyo ndiye wochimwa mʼmalo mwa mayiyo.”
16Awa ndiwo malamulo amene Yehova analamula Mose za mwamuna ndi mkazi wake, ndiponso abambo ndi mwana wawo wamkazi amene akanali mtsikana wokhalabe mʼnyumba ya abambo akewo.
