Vows
In Hebrew texts 30:1-16 is numbered 30:2-17. 1Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: ‘This is what the Lord commands: 2when a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
3‘When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or binds herself by a pledge 4and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she bound herself will stand. 5But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she bound herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.
6‘If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she binds herself 7and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she bound herself will stand. 8But if her husband forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise by which she binds herself, and the Lord will release her.
9‘Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.
10‘If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or binds herself by a pledge under oath 11and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she bound herself will stand. 12But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.30:13 Or to fast 14But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.’
16These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home.
Za Kulumbira
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.
