Making Promises to the Lord
1 The Lord told Moses to say to Israel's tribal leaders:
2 When one of you men makes a promise to the Lord, you must keep your word.
3 Suppose a young woman who is still living with her parents makes a promise to the Lord. 4 If her father hears about it and says nothing, she must keep her promise. 5 But if he hears about it and objects, then she no longer has to keep her promise. The Lord will forgive her, because her father did not agree with the promise.
6-7 Suppose a woman makes a promise to the Lord and then gets married. If her husband later hears about the promise but says nothing, she must do what she said, whether she meant it or not. 8 But if her husband hears about the promise and objects, she no longer has to keep it, and the Lord will forgive her.
9 Widows and divorced women must keep every promise they make to the Lord.
10 Suppose a married woman makes a promise to the Lord. 11 If her husband hears about the promise and says nothing, she must do what she said. 12 But if he hears about the promise and does object, she no longer has to keep it. The Lord will forgive her, because her husband would not allow her to keep the promise. 13 Her husband has the final say about any promises she makes to the Lord. 14 If her husband hears about a promise and says nothing about it for a whole day, she must do what she said—since he did not object, the promise must be kept. 15 But if he waits until the next day to stop her from keeping her promise, he is the one who must be punished.
16 These are the laws that the Lord gave Moses about husbands and wives, and about young daughters who still live at home.

Ye e nokushakenifa adishe odo okanya kaye ka tonga. 3 Ndelenee omukainhu ngeenge ta udanekele Omwene sha ile te lidilikifa elidiliko lakeshe eshi, fimbo ta kala meumbo laxe mounyasha waye; 4 naxe ota udu eudaneko laye nelidiliko laye e li lidilikifa ye mwene ndele xe ote limwenenene opo nee omaudaneko aye aeshe taa kala a kwatekeka nelidiliko keshe e li lidilikifa ye mwene tali ka kala la kwatekeka.
5 Ndelenee xe efiku tuu olo ye eshi ta udu omaudaneko aye ndee te mu shilike omaudaneko aye aeshe nelidiliko laye keshe e li lidilikifa elidiliko tali kala la kwatanuka nOmwene te mu dimine po, shaashi xe e shi mu shilika, 6 ndelenee ye ngeenge ta hombolwa fimbo ye e nomaudaneko inaa wanifwa ile ta pitifa mo mokanya kaye ondjovo mokuhadiladila shili e i lidilikifa ye mwene 7 nomulumenhu waye te shi udu ndee te i mwenenene mefiku tuu olo e i uda, opo nee omaudaneko aye a kwatekeka nosho yo keshe elidiliko laye e li lidilikifa elidiliko tali kala la kwatekeka. 8 Ndelenee omulumenhu waye mefiku tuu olo ye e li uda te lishilike, opo nee ye ta alulula eudaneko laye e li udaneka oku li wanifa nosho yo ondjovo ei ye e i popya mokuhadiladila e i lidilikifa keshe eshi. NOmwene ote ke shi mu dimina po. 9 Ndelenee omaudaneko omufiyekadi ile omwalikadi a hengwa po, osheshi ye e shi udaneka nokwaana otaa kala a wanifwa. 10 Ndele ye ngeenge meumbo lomulumenhu waye ta udaneke eudaneko ile te lidilike sha nokwaana, 11 nomulumenhu waye te shi udu ndee te limwenenene, ite mu shilike, opo nee omaudaneko aye aeshe taa ka kala a wanifwa nelidilikifo keshe laye tali ka kala la wanifwa. 12 Ndelenee omulumenhu waye mefiku tuu olo te a udu, ngeenge te a alulula hano keshe ondjovo ya dja mokanya kaye ile eudaneko inali wanifwa, omulumenhu waye e a alulula. Omwene ote shi mu dimine po.
13 “Eudaneko keshe neano keshe lokulidilika omwalikadi ote li udanekele okulihepeka, omulumenhu waye ota dulu oku li kwatekeka ile oku li kwatunununa. 14 Ndelenee omulumenhu waye ngeenge te mu limwenenene mefiku tuu olo hano osho ngaho ye okwa kwatekeka eudaneko laye ile okulidilika keshe, kwe ku lidilikifa, osheshi ye okwe mu limwenenena mefiku tuu olo ye e li uda. 15 Ndelenee ye ngeenge te a kwatunununa, eshi a pitifa po omafiku eshi e a uda, oye e nokuhumbata omanyonauno omwalikadi waye.”
