Teachings about Vows
30 [a]Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what Yahweh has commanded about vows: 2 If a man makes a vow to Yahweh that he will do something or swears an oath that he won’t do something, he must not break his word. He must do everything he said he would do.
3 “A young girl, who still lives in her father’s house, might make a vow to Yahweh that she will do something or swear an oath that she won’t do something. 4 If her father says nothing to her when he hears about it, her vow or oath must be kept. 5 But if her father objects when he hears about it, her vow or oath doesn’t have to be kept. Yahweh will free her from this vow or oath because her father objected.
6 “An unmarried woman might make a vow that she will do something or carelessly promise that she won’t do something. When she marries, 7 her husband may hear about it but say nothing to her. Then her vow or oath must be kept. 8 But if her husband objects when he hears about it, he can cancel the vow or promise she made. Yahweh will free her from this vow or promise.
9 “But a widow or a divorced woman must keep her vow or her promise.
10 “A married woman might make a vow that she will do something or swear an oath that she won’t do something. 11 Her husband may hear about it but may say nothing and not object. Then her vow or oath must be kept. 12 But if her husband cancels it when he hears about it, nothing she said in her vow or oath has to be kept. Her husband has canceled it, and Yahweh will free her from this vow or oath.
13 “A husband decides whether or not his wife has to keep any vow to do something or any oath to do without something. 14 If he says nothing to her about it day after day, this means he’s decided that she must keep her vow or oath. She must keep it because he said nothing to her when he heard about it. 15 But if he cancels it later, he will suffer the consequences.”
16 These are the laws Yahweh gave Moses for husbands and wives, and for fathers with young daughters still living at home.

La ley de los votos
30 Entonces Moisés habló a los jefes(A) de las tribus de los israelitas: «Esto es lo que el Señor ha ordenado. 2 Si un hombre hace un voto al Señor(B), o hace un juramento para imponerse una obligación, no faltará a su palabra; hará conforme a todo lo que salga de su boca. 3 Asimismo, si una mujer hace un voto al Señor, y se impone una obligación en su juventud estando en casa de su padre, 4 y su padre escucha su voto y la obligación que se ha impuesto, y su padre no le dice nada, entonces todos los votos de ella serán firmes, y toda obligación que se ha impuesto será firme. 5 Pero si su padre se lo prohíbe el día en que se entera de ello, ninguno de sus votos ni las obligaciones que se ha impuesto serán firmes. El Señor la perdonará porque su padre se lo prohibió.
6 »Si ella se casa mientras está bajo sus votos o bajo la declaración imprudente de sus labios con que se ha atado, 7 y su marido se entera de ello y no le dice nada el día en que lo oye, entonces su voto permanecerá firme, y las obligaciones que se ha impuesto, serán firmes. 8 Pero si el día en que su marido se entera de ello, se lo prohíbe, entonces él anulará el voto bajo el cual ella está, y la declaración imprudente de sus labios con que se ha comprometido, y el Señor la perdonará.
9 »Pero el voto de una viuda o de una divorciada, todo aquello por lo cual se ha comprometido, será firme contra ella. 10 Sin embargo, si hizo el voto en casa de su marido, o se impuso una obligación por juramento, 11 y su marido lo oyó, pero no le dijo nada y no se lo prohibió, entonces sus votos serán firmes, y toda obligación que se impuso será firme. 12 Pero si el marido en verdad los anula el día en que se entera de ello, entonces todo lo que salga de los labios de ella en relación con sus votos, o en relación con la obligación de sí misma, no será firme; su marido los ha anulado, y el Señor la perdonará.
13 »Todo voto y todo juramento de obligación para humillarse a sí misma, su marido puede confirmarlo o su marido puede anularlo. 14 Pero si en verdad el marido nunca le dice nada a ella, entonces confirma todos sus votos o todas sus obligaciones que están sobre ella; las ha confirmado porque no le dijo nada el día en que se enteró de ello. 15 Pero si en verdad él los anula después de haberlos oído, entonces él llevará la culpa de ella».
16 Estos son los estatutos que el Señor mandó a Moisés, entre un marido y su mujer, y entre un padre y su hija que durante su juventud está aún en casa de su padre.
Numbers 30
New King James Version
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: 2 (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.
3 “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, 4 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. 5 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.
6 “If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 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. 8 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.
9 “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.

許願的條例
30 摩西告訴以色列人眾支派的領袖：“這是耶和華吩咐的話：（本節在《馬索拉文本》為30:2） 2 如果人向耶和華許願，或是起誓要約束自己，就不可食言，總要照著自己口裡所出的一切話行。 3 女子年幼還在父家的時候，如果向耶和華許願要約束自己， 4 她父親若是聽見她所許的願和約束自己的話，卻對她默不作聲，她所許的一切願和所說約束自己的話，就為有效。 5 但是她父親聽見的時候，如果阻止她，她所許的願和所說約束自己的話，就都為無效；耶和華也必赦免她，因為她父親阻止她。
6 “如果她已嫁了丈夫，她許願或嘴裡說冒失話約束自己的時候， 7 她丈夫聽見了，但在聽見的時候，默不作聲，她所許的願和約束自己的話，就為有效。 8 但是她丈夫聽見的時候，如果阻止她，就算廢了她所許的願和她嘴裡所說約束自己的冒失話；耶和華也必赦免她。
9 “寡婦，或是離了婚的婦人所許的願，就是她所說約束自己的一切話，都為有效。 10 如果她在丈夫家裡許了願，或用誓言約束自己， 11 她丈夫聽見了，卻默不作聲，也沒有阻止她，她所許的願和所說一切約束自己的話，就為有效。 12 但是她丈夫聽見的時候，如果把這兩樣都廢了，婦人口中所說一切關於許願的話和約束自己的話，都必無效；她丈夫已經把這兩樣都廢了，耶和華也必赦免她。
13 “婦人所許的願和刻苦約束自己所起的誓，她丈夫都可以確立，也可以廢去。 14 如果她丈夫天天向她默不作聲，那就算是確立她所許的願和所說約束自己的一切話；因為丈夫在聽見的日子，向她默不作聲，就使這兩樣生效。 15 但是，如果丈夫聽了很久以後，才把這兩樣完全廢去，他就要擔當妻子的罪孽。”
16 以上是耶和華吩咐摩西的條例，是關於丈夫與妻子，父親與女兒，女兒年幼在父家的時候的條例。
