¹¶ Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga ariki o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea, Ko te mea tenei i whakahaua e Ihowa.

¹Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.

²Ki te puaki i tetahi te kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki te oati ranei i te oati e mau ai tona wairua te here; kei whakataka e ia tana kupu, kia rite tana e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i tona mangai.

²When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

³¶ A, mehemea he ki taurangi ta te wahine ki a Ihowa, a ka mau tana here ki a ia, i a ia ano i te whare o tona papa i tona tamarikitanga;

³“Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,

⁴A ka rongo tona papa ki tana ki taurangi, ki tana here hoki i herea ai tona wairua, a ka whakarongo kau tona papa ki a ia; na, ka mau ana ki taurangi katoa, ka mau ano hoki nga here katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua.

⁴and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁵Tena ia, ki te whakakahoretia e tona papa i te ra i rongo ai ia; e kore tetahi o ana ki taurangi, o ana here hoki e herea ai e ia tona wairua e u: a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia, no te mea kua whakakahoretia tana e tona papa.

⁵But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

⁶A ki te mea he tahu tana, a ka puaki tana ki taurangi, ka puta hohoro mai ranei i ona ngutu te mea e herea ai e ia tona wairua;

⁶“If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,

⁷A ka rongo tana tahu, a ka whakarongo puku ki a ia i te ra i rongo ai; na, ka u ana ki taurangi, ka mau ano hoki nga here i herea ai e ia tona wairua.

⁷and her husband hears it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁸Tena ia, ki te whakakahoretia tana e tana tahu i te ra i rongo ai ia; na ka taka tana ki taurangi i puaki i a ia, me te mea i puta hohoro mai i ona ngutu, i herea ai e ia tona wairua: a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia.

⁸But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her.

⁹Ko te ki taurangi ia a te pouaru, a te wahine ranei i whakarerea, ara ko nga mea katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua, ka u ki a ia.

⁹“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.

¹⁰Ki te mea ia no te whare mai ano o tana tahu tana ki taurangi, tana herenga ranei i te here, ara i te oati, ki tona wairua,

¹⁰“If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

¹¹A i rongo ano tana tahu, i whakarongo puku hoki ki a ia, a kihai i whakakahore i tana: na ka mau ana ki taurangi katoa, ka mau ano hoki nga here katoa i herea ai e ia tona wairua.

¹¹and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn’t disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

¹²Tena ia, mehemea i whakataka rawatia aua mea e tana tahu i te ra i rongo ai ia; e kore e u tetahi mea i puta mai i ona ngutu mo ana ki taurangi, mo te mea e herea ai tona wairua: kua whakataka e tana tahu; a ka whakarerea noatia e Ihowa ki a ia.

¹²But if her husband made them null and void in the day that 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 has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her.

¹³Ko nga ki taurangi katoa, ko nga oati here katoa hei pehi i te wairua, ma tana tahu e whakau, ma tana tahu hoki e whakataka.

¹³Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

¹⁴Ki te whakarongo puku tonu ia tana tahu i tena ra, i tena ra; na e whakau ana ia i ana ki taurangi katoa, ara i ana here katoa i mau ai ia: kua whakaungia e ia, no te mea i whakarongo puku ia ki a ia i te ra i rongona ai.

¹⁴But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

¹⁵Ki te whakataka rawatia ia e ia aua mea i muri iho i tona rongonga; na mana e waha te kino o te wahine.

¹⁵But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”

¹⁶Ko nga tikanga enei i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi ma te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ma te papa raua ko tana tamahine i te mea he taitamahine ia, i te whare o tona papa.

¹⁶These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
