许愿之例

30 摩西晓谕以色列各支派的首领说:“耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样: 人若向耶和华许愿或起誓,要约束自己,就不可食言,必要按口中所出的一切话行。 女子年幼还在父家的时候,若向耶和华许愿,要约束自己, 她父亲也听见她所许的愿并约束自己的话,却向她默默不言,她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定。 但她父亲听见的日子若不应承她所许的愿和约束自己的话,就都不得为定,耶和华也必赦免她,因为她父亲不应承。

“她若出了嫁,有愿在身,或是口中出了约束自己的冒失话, 她丈夫听见的日子,却向她默默不言,她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定。 但她丈夫听见的日子,若不应承,就算废了她所许的愿和她出口约束自己的冒失话,耶和华也必赦免她。

“寡妇或是被休的妇人所许的愿,就是她约束自己的话,都要为定。 10 她若在丈夫家里许了愿或起了誓,约束自己, 11 丈夫听见,却向她默默不言,也没有不应承,她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定。 12 丈夫听见的日子,若把这两样全废了,妇人口中所许的愿或是约束自己的话就都不得为定,因她丈夫已经把这两样废了,耶和华也必赦免她。 13 凡她所许的愿和刻苦约束自己所起的誓,她丈夫可以坚定,也可以废去。 14 倘若她丈夫天天向她默默不言,就算是坚定她所许的愿和约束自己的话,因丈夫听见的日子向她默默不言,就使这两样坚定。 15 但她丈夫听见以后,若使这两样全废了,就要担当妇人的罪孽。 16 这是丈夫待妻子,父亲待女儿,女儿年幼还在父家,耶和华所吩咐摩西的律例。”

30 3 Concerning vows. 4 The vow of the maid, 7 Of the wife, 10 Of the widow or divorced. 

Then Moses spake unto the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had commanded [a]him.

Moses also spake unto the heads of the tribes [b]concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded,

Whosoever voweth a vow unto the Lord, or sweareth an oath to bind [c]himself by a bond, he shall not [d]break his promise, but shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in the time of her youth,

And her father hear her vow and bond, wherewith she hath bound herself, and her father hold his [e]peace concerning her, then all her vows shall stand and every bond, wherewith she hath bound herself, shall stand.

But if her [f]father disallow her the same day that he heareth all her vows and bonds, wherewith she hath bound herself, they shall not be of value, and the Lord will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

And if she have an husband when she voweth or [g]pronounceth ought with her lips, wherewith she bindeth herself,

If her husband heard it, and holdeth his peace concerning her, the same day he heareth it, then her vow shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bindeth herself shall stand in effect.

But if her husband disallow her the same day that he heareth it, then shall he make her vow which she hath made, and that that she hath pronounced with her lips, wherewith she bound [h]herself, of none effect: and the Lord will forgive her.

10 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced (wherewith she hath bound herself) shall stand in [i]effect with her.

11 And if she vowed in her husband’s [j]house, or bound herself straightly with an oath,

12 And her husband hath heard it, and held his peace concerning her, not disallowing her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond, wherewith she bound herself, shall stand in effect.

13 But if her husband disannulled them the same day that he heard them, nothing that proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning [k]her bonds, shall stand in effect: for her husband hath disannulled them: and the Lord will forgive her.

14 So every vow, and every oath or bond, made to [l]humble the soul, her husband may stablish it, or her husband may break it.

15 But if her husband hold his peace concerning her from [m]day to day, then he stablisheth all her vows and all her bonds which she hath made: he hath confirmed them because he held his peace concerning her the same day that he heard them.

16 But if he [n]break them after that he hath heard them, then shall he bear her iniquity.

17 These are the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter, being young in her father’s house.

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.
