许愿的条例

30 摩西告诉以色列人众支派的领袖:“这是耶和华吩咐的话:(本节在《马索拉文本》为30:2) 如果人向耶和华许愿,或是起誓要约束自己,就不可食言,总要照着自己口里所出的一切话行。 女子年幼还在父家的时候,如果向耶和华许愿要约束自己, 她父亲若是听见她所许的愿和约束自己的话,却对她默不作声,她所许的一切愿和所说约束自己的话,就为有效。 但是她父亲听见的时候,如果阻止她,她所许的愿和所说约束自己的话,就都为无效;耶和华也必赦免她,因为她父亲阻止她。

“如果她已嫁了丈夫,她许愿或嘴里说冒失话约束自己的时候, 她丈夫听见了,但在听见的时候,默不作声,她所许的愿和约束自己的话,就为有效。 但是她丈夫听见的时候,如果阻止她,就算废了她所许的愿和她嘴里所说约束自己的冒失话;耶和华也必赦免她。

“寡妇,或是离了婚的妇人所许的愿,就是她所说约束自己的一切话,都为有效。 10 如果她在丈夫家里许了愿,或用誓言约束自己, 11 她丈夫听见了,却默不作声,也没有阻止她,她所许的愿和所说一切约束自己的话,就为有效。 12 但是她丈夫听见的时候,如果把这两样都废了,妇人口中所说一切关于许愿的话和约束自己的话,都必无效;她丈夫已经把这两样都废了,耶和华也必赦免她。

13 “妇人所许的愿和刻苦约束自己所起的誓,她丈夫都可以确立,也可以废去。 14 如果她丈夫天天向她默不作声,那就算是确立她所许的愿和所说约束自己的一切话;因为丈夫在听见的日子,向她默不作声,就使这两样生效。 15 但是,如果丈夫听了很久以后,才把这两样完全废去,他就要担当妻子的罪孽。”

16 以上是耶和华吩咐摩西的条例,是关于丈夫与妻子,父亲与女儿,女儿年幼在父家的时候的条例。

Vows

30 [a]Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel:(A) “This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.(B)

“When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand.(C) But if her father forbids her(D) when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.

“If she marries after she makes a vow(E) or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. But if her husband(F) forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the Lord will release her.(G)

“Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.

10 “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath 11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 12 But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand.(H) Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.[b] 14 But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15 If, however, he nullifies them(I) some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.”

16 These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home.

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: (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.

“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, 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. 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.

“If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 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. 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.

“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.
