Numbers 30

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

1 Moisés convocó a todos los jefes de las tribus y les dijo:

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 «El Señor ha ordenado que cualquiera que le haga una promesa, ya sea de hacer algo o de dejar de hacer algo, deberá cumplirla fielmente. La persona que hace el voto deberá hacer exactamente lo que ha prometido.

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 »Mas si una mujer soltera que vive en casa de su padre promete al Señor que hará o no hará algo,

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 y su padre oye que ha hecho un voto y no dice nada, el voto de ella será válido.

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 Pero si el padre se niega a darle el permiso para hacer el voto, entonces la promesa quedará automáticamente anulada. Y así el Señor la liberará porque su padre no quiere que ella lo haga.

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

6 »Si se casa cuando todavía está ligada por un voto;

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 y su marido se entera y no le dice nada, el voto será válido.

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 Pero si al enterarse el marido se niega a aceptarlo, su desacuerdo anula el voto y el Señor la libertará.

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

9 »Pero si la mujer es viuda o divorciada, ella deberá cumplir el voto.

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

10 »Si se ha casado y vive en casa de su marido cuando hace el voto,

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 y su marido se entera de él, y nada dice, el voto será válido.

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 Pero si él se niega a permitirlo en el primer día en que se entera del voto, el voto de ella quedará nulo y el Señor la perdonará.

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

13 De modo que el marido podrá confirmar o anular el voto,

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 pero si él no dice nada durante el día significa que lo ha aprobado.

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

15 Si espera más de un día y luego se niega a reconocer el voto, las obligaciones del voto recaerán sobre él y él será responsable».

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 Estos pues, son los mandamientos que el Señor dio a Moisés acerca de las relaciones entre un hombre y su esposa, y entre un padre y su hija que vive en su casa.
