< Numbers 30 >

1 And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa eni kuo fekau ʻe Sihova.
2 If any man makes a vow to the Lord, or binds himself by an oath, he shall not make his word null and void, but all that he has promised, he shall fulfill.
Kapau ʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ha tangata ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, pe fuakava ʻaki ʻae fuakava ke nonoʻo hono laumālie ʻaki ʻae lea papau; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakakehe ʻene lea, ka ʻe fai ia ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi hono ngutu.
3 If a woman, who is in her father’s house, vows anything, or binds herself by an oath, and she is still in a state of childhood, if her father knew of the vow which she has promised or of the oath by which she has obligated her soul, and he kept silent, she shall be liable to the vow:
Kapau ʻe fuakava ʻaki foki ʻe ha fefine ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ia ʻae lea papau, ka ʻoku kei ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai, pea kei tāupoʻou ia.
4 whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
Pea fanongo ʻa ʻene tamai ki heʻene fuakava, mo ʻene lea papau ʻaia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie, pea fakalongo pē ʻa ʻene tamai kiate ia, ʻe toki maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava kotoa pē, pea maʻu ʻae lea papau kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ia.
5 But if her father, as soon as he had heard it, had contradicted it, both her vows and her oaths shall be nullified, neither shall she be held liable to the promise, because her father had contradicted it.
Pea kapau ʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku fanongo ai ia; pehē, ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻene ngaahi fuakava, he ko ʻene ngaahi lea papau ʻaia naʻa ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻa hono laumālie: pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai.
6 If she has a husband, and she has vowed anything, then, once the word has gone out of her mouth, she will have obligated her soul by an oath.
Pea kapau naʻe ai ʻa hono husepāniti, ʻi heʻene fuakava, pe [ko ʻene ]lea ʻaki ha meʻa mei hono loungutu, ke nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie;
7 On the day that her husband will hear of it, and yet not contradict it, she shall be liable to the vow, and she shall repay whatever she has promised.
Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa hono husepāniti, pea naʻe fakalongo pē ia kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ne ne fanongo ki ai; pehē ʻe maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava, mo ʻene lea papau ʻaia kuo ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie.
8 But if, as soon as he hears it, he contradicts it, then he will have caused her promises, and the words by which she had bound her soul, to be null and void. The Lord will be favorable to her.
Pea kapau ʻoku taʻofi ia ʻe hono husepāniti ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku fanongo ia ki ai; pehē te ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻa ʻene fuakava, ʻaia ne ne fuakava ʻaki; pea mo ia ne ne lea ʻaki ʻe hono loungutu, ʻaia naʻa ne nonoʻo ʻaki hono laumālie, pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova.
9 Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
Ka ko e fuakava kotoa pē ʻae fefine paea, pea mo ia kuo tukuange, ʻaia kuo na nonoʻo ʻaki hona laumālie, ʻe maʻu ia kiate ia.
10 If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
Pea kapau naʻe fuakava ia ʻi he fale ʻo hono husepāniti, pe nonoʻo hono laumālie ʻaki ʻae lea papau mo e fuakava;
11 if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
Pea fanongo ki ai ʻa hono husepāniti, ka naʻe fakalongo ia kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia: pehē ʻe maʻu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuakava kotoa pē, pea ʻe maʻu ai mo e lea papau ʻaia ne ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻa hono laumālie.
12 But if he promptly contradicts it, she shall not be held liable to the promise. For her husband has contradicted it. And the Lord will be favorable to her.
Pea kapau naʻe fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻaupito ia ʻe hono husepāniti ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanongo ia ki ai: pehē ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻaia kuo ʻalu ʻi hono loungutu, ʻi heʻene ngaahi fuakava, pe ko e nonoʻo ʻo hono laumālie, he kuo fakataʻeaongaʻi ia ʻe hono husepāniti; pea ʻe fakamolemole ia ʻe Sihova.
13 If she has vowed or bound herself by oath, in order to afflict her soul by fasting, or by abstaining from other things, it shall be for the arbitration of her husband, as to whether or not she may do it.
Ko e fuakava kotoa pē, pea mo e fuakava ʻi he lea papau kotoa pē ke fakamamahi ʻae loto, ʻoku ʻi hono husepāniti ke fakamaʻu ia, pea ʻoku ʻi hono husepāniti ke fakataʻeaongaʻi ia.
14 But if the husband, upon hearing it, remains silent, and he delays judgment until another day, whatever she had vowed or promised, she shall repay, because when he first heard it, he remained silent.
Pea kapau ʻe mātuʻaki fakalongo pē ʻa hono husepāniti mei he ʻaho ki he ʻaho; ʻoku ne fakamaʻu ai ʻa ʻene fuakava kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi lea papau, ʻaia kuo ne fai: ʻoku ne fakamaʻu ia, koeʻuhi naʻe fakalongo pē ia kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanongo ia ki ai.
15 And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
Pea kapau te ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ia ʻi he hili ʻene fanongo ki ai; ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻa ʻene angahala.
16 These are the laws which the Lord has appointed to Moses, between a husband and a wife, between a father and a daughter, who is still in the state of childhood or who remains in her father’s house.
Ko e ngaahi fono eni naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, ki he tangata mo hono uaifi, pea mo e tamai mo hono ʻofefine ʻoku kei tāupoʻou ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.
