Numbers 30

1 Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

1 摩西对以色列各支派的首领说：“以下是耶和华的吩咐。

2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.

2 “人若在什么事上向耶和华许愿或起誓，就不可食言，必须履行诺言。

3 And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,

3 倘若未出嫁的少女在什么事上向耶和华许愿或起誓，

4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

4 她父亲得知她许的愿或起的誓后没有反对，她许的愿和起的誓就都有效；

5 But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

5 倘若她父亲得知后加以反对，她许的愿和起的誓就无效。耶和华必不追究她，因为她父亲反对。

6 If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,

6 “倘若有女子出嫁前许了愿或信口起了誓，

7 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

7 她丈夫得知后没有反对，她许的愿和起的誓就都有效；

8 But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.

8 倘若她丈夫得知后加以反对，她许的愿和起的誓就无效，耶和华必不追究她。

9 Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.

9 寡妇或被休的妇人若在什么事上许愿或起誓，就必须履行誓言。

10 If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,

10 “倘若已婚妇女在夫家许愿或起誓，

11 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

11 她丈夫得知后没有反对，她许的愿和起的誓就都有效；

12 But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

12 倘若她丈夫在得知当天加以否定，她口中许的愿和起的誓就无效。她丈夫已经使之无效，耶和华必不追究她。

13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.

13 丈夫有权赞同或否定妻子禁食所许的愿或起的誓。

14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.

14 倘若丈夫得知妻子许愿或起誓当天一直没有反对，她就必须履行誓言，因为丈夫当天默认了。

15 But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”

15 倘若丈夫当天默认了，后来又加以反对，他就要承担妻子的罪责。”

16 These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.

16 以上是耶和华借摩西颁布的有关丈夫和妻子、父亲和未出嫁的女儿要遵守的条例。
