1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
2 If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
3 If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, 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 be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.
6 And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,
7 and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.
9 But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, -everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
10 And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
11 and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
14 And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
15 But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
1 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《马索拉抄本》为30:2）
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。
3 女子年幼还在父家的时候， 如果向耶和华许愿要约束自己，
4 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。
5 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。
6 "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，
7 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。
8 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。
9 "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。
