1 N a 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.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.

2 K i 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.

If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.

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;

If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,

4 A 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.

and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

5 T ena 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.

But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.

6 A 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;

And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,

7 A 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.

and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

8 T ena 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.

But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.

9 K o 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.

But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,—everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.

10 K i 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,

And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,

11 A 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.

and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

12 T ena 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.

But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.

13 K o 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.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.

14 K i 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.

And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.

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

But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

16 K o 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.

These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
