Numeri 30
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
30 Mosè riferì agli Israeliti quanto il Signore gli aveva ordinato.
Leggi sui voti
2 Mosè disse ai capi delle tribù degli Israeliti: «Questo il Signore ha ordinato: 3 Quando uno avrà fatto un voto al Signore o si sarà obbligato con giuramento ad una astensione, non violi la sua parola, ma dia esecuzione a quanto ha promesso con la bocca. 4 Quando una donna avrà fatto un voto al Signore e si sarà obbligata ad una astensione, mentre è ancora in casa del padre, durante la sua giovinezza, 5 se il padre, avuta conoscenza del voto di lei e dell'astensione alla quale si è obbligata, non dice nulla, tutti i voti di lei saranno validi e saranno valide tutte le astensioni alle quali si sarà obbligata. 6 Ma se il padre, quando ne viene a conoscenza, le fa opposizione, tutti i voti di lei e tutte le astensioni alle quali si sarà obbligata, non saranno validi; il Signore la perdonerà, perché il padre le ha fatto opposizione. 7 Se si marita quando è legata da voti o da un obbligo di astensione assunto alla leggera con le labbra, 8 se il marito ne ha conoscenza e quando viene a conoscenza non dice nulla, i voti di lei saranno validi e saranno validi gli obblighi di astensione da lei assunti. 9 Ma se il marito, quando ne viene a conoscenza, le fa opposizione, egli annullerà il voto che essa ha fatto e l'obbligo di astensione che essa si è assunta alla leggera; il Signore la perdonerà. 10 Ma il voto di una vedova o di una donna ripudiata, qualunque sia l'obbligo che si è assunto, rimarrà valido. 11 Se una donna nella casa del marito farà voti o si obbligherà con giuramento ad una astensione 12 e il marito ne avrà conoscenza, se il marito non dice nulla e non le fa opposizione, tutti i voti di lei saranno validi e saranno validi tutti gli obblighi di astensione da lei assunti. 13 Ma se il marito, quando ne viene a conoscenza, li annulla, quanto le sarà uscito dalle labbra, voti od obblighi di astensione, non sarà valido; il marito lo ha annullato; il Signore la perdonerà. 14 Il marito può ratificare e il marito può annullare qualunque voto e qualunque giuramento, per il quale essa sia obbligata a mortificarsi. 15 Ma se il marito, da un giorno all'altro, non dice nulla in proposito, egli ratifica così tutti i voti di lei e tutti gli obblighi di astensione da lei assunti; li ratifica perché non ha detto nulla a questo proposito quando ne ha avuto conoscenza. 16 Ma se li annulla qualche tempo dopo averne avuto conoscenza, porterà il peso della colpa della moglie».
17 Queste sono le leggi che il Signore prescrisse a Mosè riguardo al marito e alla moglie, al padre e alla figlia, quando questa è ancora fanciulla, in casa del padre.
Numbers 30
King James Version
30 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded.
2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the Lord shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the Lord shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
Numbers 30
New International Version
Vows
30 [a]Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel:(A) “This is what the Lord commands: 2 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)
3 “When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge 4 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) 5 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.
6 “If she marries after she makes a vow(E) or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself 7 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 8 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)
9 “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.
