Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
Mose hyiaa Israel mmusua no mu mpanyimfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awurade ahyɛ se:
2 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.
Sɛ obi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obu so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ nea ɔkaa se ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
3 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;
“Sɛ ababaa bi hyɛ Awurade bɔ anaa ɔka ntam hyɛ bɔ bere a ɔda so te nʼagya fi,
4 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.
na nʼagya no te sɛ ne ba no ahyɛ bɔ, na wanka hwee a, ne bɔhyɛ ne ne ntam a ɔkaa no nyinaa no di mu.
5 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.
Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ nʼagya no siw no bɔhyɛ no ho kwan a, etwa ne bɔhyɛ ne ntam a ɔkae no mu. Awurade de bɛkyɛ ababaa no, efisɛ nʼagya ampene sɛ obedi so.
6 And if she had an husband, when she vowed, or uttered any thing from her lips, by which she bound her soul;
“Sɛ ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam ansa na ɔware na ɛbɛyɛ asodi ma no
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 by which she bound her soul shall stand.
na ne kunu no te saa bɔhyɛ no ho asɛm nanso wanka ho hwee a, na ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
8 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.
Na sɛ ne kunu no te na osiw no ho kwan a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ watwa mu a bɔhyɛ no anaa ntam no ho asodi nna ne so bio, enti Awurade de ne ho bɛkyɛ no.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, by which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea kunafo anaa nea wɔagyaa no aware no di ne ntam a ɔbɛka anaa bɔ a ɔbɛhyɛ no biara so.
10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
“Sɛ waware na ɔte ne kunu fi na ɔhyɛ bɔ anaa ɔka ntam,
11 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.
na ne kunu no te na wansiw no ho kwan a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne bɔhyɛ no gyina hɔ.
12 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.
Na sɛ ne kunu no te na, sɛ wampene so na, otwa mu a, na ne bɔhyɛ no nni mu na Awurade de ne ho bɛkyɛ no.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Enti ne kunu no betumi asi ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ anaa ntam a ɔka no so dua anaasɛ obetwa mu.
14 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.
Sɛ da mu no nyinaa wanka ho hwee ankyerɛ no de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔpene so wɔ hwee a wanka amfa ho no nti.
15 But if he shall in any way make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
Sɛ ɔtwɛn ma mmere bi fa so ansa na ɔka se bɔhyɛ no nni mu a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsoa ɔbea no mfomso no ho asodi.”
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.
Eyinom ne mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de maa ɔbarima ne ne yere, ne agya ne ne babea a ɔda so te ne fi no.
