Vow, Oath
noun
This looks like an adjective, but it's actually a noun. This word is the same as the kanji meaning: vow (or oath).
ちかい
This has the same reading as 近い (ちかい). Just think about how when you're making a vow or oath, you become closer to the thing or person you're vowing to. You belong to them, in a way, which is why you become close (近い).
