Numbers 30
New King James Version
The Law Concerning Vows
30 Then Moses spoke to (A)the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: 2 (B)If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or (C)swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall (D)do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3 “Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth, 4 and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she has bound herself, and her father [a]holds his peace, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound herself shall stand. 5 But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will release her, because her father overruled her.
6 “If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand. 8 But if her husband (E)overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she took and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the Lord will release her.
9 “Also any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.
10 “If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath, 11 and her husband heard it, and made no response to her and did not overrule her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself shall stand. 12 But if her husband truly made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it shall not stand; her husband has made them [b]void, and the Lord will release her. 13 Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it, or her husband may make it void. 14 Now if her husband makes no response whatever to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her; he confirms them, because he made no response to her on the day that he heard them. 15 But if he does make them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.”
16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.

30 (A)Musa n’agamba abakulembeze b’ebika by’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Kino Mukama Katonda ky’alagidde: 2 (B)Omusajja bw’aneeyamanga eri Mukama Katonda, oba bw’anaalayiranga okutuukiriza ekisuubizo kye, ekigambo kye ekyo taakimenyengawo, naye anaakolanga nga bw’anaabanga asuubizza.
3 “Omukazi omuvubuka anaabeeranga akyasula mu maka ga kitaawe, bw’aneeyamanga eri Mukama Katonda, oba bw’anaalayiranga okutuukiriza ekisuubizo kye, kale, obweyamo bwe bwonna n’ebyo by’anaabanga asuubizza binaasigalanga nga bwe biri. 4 (C)Naye kitaawe bw’anaakiteegerangako, n’amuziyiza, kale, tewaabengawo n’ekimu ku ebyo by’anaabanga asuubizza ebinaasigalanga nga bwe biri. 5 Naye kitaawe bw’anaamugaananga ku lunaku lw’anaakiwulira, tewaabengawo ku bweyamo bwe newaakubadde bye yalayira bye yasuubiza ebinaatuukirizibwanga, Mukama Katonda anaabimusonyiwanga, kubanga kitaawe abimuziyizza.
6 (D)“Bw’anaafumbirwanga ng’amaze okweyama ng’awaddeyo n’ebisuubizo nga tamaze kwerowooza, 7 bba n’abiwulirako, naye n’atabaako ky’ayogera; kale, obweyamo bw’omukazi oyo n’ebisuubizo bye, bye yalagira okubituukiriza, binaasigalanga nga bwe biri. 8 (E)Naye singa bba bw’amala okubiwulirako n’amuziyiza, olwo obweyamo bw’omukazi oyo n’ebyo byonna bye yasuubiza nga teyeerowozezza, biba bifudde, era Mukama Katonda anaasonyiwanga omukazi oyo.
9 “Obweyamo n’ebisuubizo bwe binaakolebwanga nnamwandu oba omukazi eyayawukanira ddala ne bba mu bufumbo, binaasigalanga nga bwe biri.
10 “Omukazi ali mu bufumbo ng’abeera wamu ne bba mu maka gaabwe, bw’aneeyamanga oba n’asuubiriza ku kirayiro ng’alibaako by’atuukiriza, 11 bba n’abiwulirako, naye n’atabaako ky’agamba mukazi we, n’atamuziyiza; kale, obweyamo bw’omukazi oyo bwonna bunaasigalangawo, ne buli kimu kyonna kye yasuubiza ne yeerayirira, binaasigalangawo. 12 (F)Naye bba bw’anaabanga abiwuliddeko, kyokka n’abidibya n’abisazaamu, olwo tewaabengawo bweyamo oba ebisuubizo ebyava mu kamwa k’omukazi, ebinaasigalangawo, era Mukama Katonda anaabimusonyiwanga. 13 Bba anaayinzanga okukakasa oba okudibya obweyamo bwonna mukazi we bw’anaabanga akoze n’ebisuubizo byonna by’anaabanga yeerayiridde ebirimu n’okwerumya n’okwefiiriza. 14 Naye bba bw’ataabengako ne kyabyogerako nga ky’ajje abiwulire, olwo omukazi anaabanga akakasizza obweyamo bwe bwonna n’ebisuubizo bye yeerayirira. Bba anaabikakasanga bw’ataabengako ky’ategeeza mukazi we bw’anaabanga yaakamala okubiwulirako. 15 Naye bwe wanaayitangawo ennaku ng’amaze okubiwulirako, oluvannyuma n’alyoka abidibya, y’anaavunaanyizibwanga ku bitatuukiridde mu bweyamo bw’omukazi oyo.”
16 Ago ge mateeka Mukama Katonda ge yalagira Musa aganaakwatanga ku musajja ne mukazi we, era ne kitaawe w’omuwala ne muwala we anaabanga akyali omuvubuka ng’akyasula mu nju ya kitaawe.
