1 En Moses het met die stamhoofde van die kinders van Israel gespreek en gesê: Dit is die saak wat die HERE beveel het:

2 As iemand aan die HERE 'n gelofte doen of 'n eed sweer waardeur hy homself verbind om hom van iets te onthou, moet hy sy woord nie breek nie; hy moet handel volgens alles wat uit sy mond uitgaan.

3 Maar as 'n vrou aan die HERE 'n gelofte doen of haarself verbind om haar te onthou, terwyl sy in haar vader se huis is in haar jeug,

4 en haar vader van haar gelofte hoor of van die onthouding waartoe sy haarself verbind het, en haar vader swyg teenoor haar, dan sal al haar geloftes van krag wees, en elke onthouding waartoe sy haarself verbind het, sal van krag wees.

5 Maar as haar vader haar terughou op die dag dat hy daarvan hoor, sal al haar geloftes en elke onthouding waartoe sy haarself verbind het, nie van krag wees nie; en die HERE sal haar dit vergewe, omdat haar vader haar teruggehou het.

6 Maar as sy trou terwyl haar geloftes op haar rus of iets wat onverskillig uitgespreek is, waardeur sy haarself verbind het,

7 en haar man daarvan hoor, op watter dag ook al, en teenoor haar swyg, dan sal haar geloftes van krag wees, en elke onthouding waartoe sy haarself verbind het, sal van krag wees.

8 Maar as haar man op die dag dat hy daarvan hoor, haar terughou, dan maak hy haar gelofte tot niet wat op haar rus, en ook wat onverskillig uitgespreek is, waardeur sy haarself verbind het; en die HERE sal haar dit vergewe.

9 Maar die gelofte van 'n weduwee of van 'n vrou wat verstoot is -- alles waardeur sy haarself verbind het, sal vir haar van krag wees.

10 En as sy in die huis van haar man 'n gelofte doen of haarself met 'n eed verbind om haar te onthou,

11 en haar man daarvan hoor en teenoor haar swyg, haar nie terughou nie, dan sal al haar geloftes van krag wees, en elke onthouding waartoe sy haarself verbind het, sal van krag wees.

12 Maar as haar man die dinge uitdruklik tot niet maak op die dag dat hy daarvan hoor, sal niks van alles wat uit haar lippe uitgegaan het, van haar geloftes of van die verbintenis tot onthouding, van krag wees nie; haar man het dit tot niet gemaak, en die HERE sal haar dit vergewe.

13 Elke gelofte en elke eed van onthouding om die siel te verootmoedig -- haar man kan dit van krag maak, en haar man kan dit tot niet maak.

14 Maar as haar man van dag tot dag geheel en al teenoor haar swyg, dan maak hy al haar geloftes of elke onthouding waartoe sy verbind is, van krag; hy het dit van krag gemaak, want hy het teenoor haar geswyg op die dag dat hy daarvan gehoor het.

15 Maar as hy dit uitdruklik tot niet maak nadat hy al daarvan gehoor het, dan dra hy haar ongeregtigheid.

16 Dit is die insettinge wat die HERE Moses beveel het tussen 'n man en sy vrou, tussen 'n vader en sy dogter terwyl sy in haar jeug in haar vader se huis is.

1 \29:40\So Moses gave the children of Israel all these directions as the Lord had given him orders.

2 \30:1\And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord.

3 \30:2\When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

4 \30:3\If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;

5 \30:4\If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

6 \30:5\But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

7 \30:6\And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

8 \30:7\If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

9 \30:8\But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

10 \30:9\But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

11 \30:10\If she made an oath while she was under the authority of her husband,

12 \30:11\And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

13 \30:12\But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

14 \30:13\Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband.

15 \30:14\But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

16 \30:15\But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

17 \30:16\These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority.
