4 Mosebog 30

1 Og Mose talede til Høvedsmændene for Israels Børns Stammer og sagde: Dette er det Ord, som Herren har befalet:

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.

2 Naar en Mand lover Herren et Løfte, eller sværger en Ed, saa han paalægger sin Sjæl en Forpligtelse, da skal han ikke vanhellige sit Ord; han skal gøre efter alt det, som er udgaaet af hans Mund.

Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth he shall do.

3 Og naar en Kvinde lover Herren et Løfte og paalægger sig en Forpligtelse, i sin Faders Hus, i sin Ungdom;

And if a woman shall vow a vow to the Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father's house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations, wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand,

4 og hendes Fader hører hendes Løfte og hendes Forpligtelse, som hun har paalagt sin Sjæl, og hendes Fader tier dertil: Da skulle alle hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og al den Forpligtelse, som hun har paalagt sin Sjæl, skal staa ved Magt.

and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.

5 Men dersom hendes Fader formener hende det paa den Dag, da han hører alle hendes Løfter og hendes Forpligtelser, som hun havde paalagt sin Sjæl, da skal det ikke staa ved Magt, og Herren skal forlade hende det, efterdi hendes Fader har forment hende det.

But if her father straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.

6 Men dersom hun bliver en Mands Hustru, og hun har Løfter paa sig eller et ubetænksomt Ord, der er undsluppet hendes Læber, med hvilket hun har paalagt sin Sjæl en Forpligtelse;

But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, [the obligations] which she has contracted upon her soul;

7 og hendes Mand hører det og tier dertil paa den Dag, han hører det, da skal hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og hendes Forpligtelser, som hun har paalagt sin Sjæl, de skulle staa ved Magt.

and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand.

8 Men dersom hendes Mand formener hende det paa den Dag, han hører det, og rygger hendes Løfte, som hun har paa sig, og det ubetænksomme Ord, som er undsluppet hendes Læber, hvorved hun har paalagt sin Sjæl en Forpligtelse, da skal Herren forlade hende det.

But if her husband should straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

9 Men en Enkes eller en forskudt Kvindes Løfte, alt det, hvorved hun har paalagt sin Sjæl en Forpligtelse, skal staa ved Magt for hende.

And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatsoever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.

10 Men dersom hun i sin Mands Hus lovede det eller paalagde med Ed sin Sjæl en Forpligtelse,

And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,

11 og hendes Mand hørte det og tav dertil og ikke formente hende det, da skulle alle hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og al den Forpligtelse, som hun har paalagt sin Sjæl, skal staa ved Magt.

and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and all the obligations which she contracted against her soul, shall stand against her.

12 Men dersom hendes Mand rygger dem paa den Dag, han hører dem, da skal alt, som er udgaaet af hendes Læber, det være sig hendes Løfter eller hendes Sjæls Forpligtelser, ikke staa ved Magt; hendes Mand har rygget dem, og Herren skal forlade hende det.

But if her husband should utterly cancel the vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations [contracted] upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has cancelled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

13 Hvert Løfte og hver Forpligtelses Ed om at ydmyge sin Sjæl, dem maa hendes Mand stadfæste, og dem maa hendes Mand rygge.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.

14 Og dersom hendes Mand tier dertil, den ene Dag efter den anden, da stadfæster han alle hendes Løfter og alle hendes Forpligtelser, som hun har paa sig: Han stadfæster dem, fordi han tav dertil den Dag, han hørte dem.

But if he be wholly silent at her from day to day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to her the obligations [which she has bound] upon herself, because he held his peace at her in the day in which he heard her.

15 Men dersom han rygger dem, efterat han har hørt dem, da skal han bære hendes Misgerning.

And if her husband should in any wise cancel [them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his iniquity.

16 Disse ere de Bestemmelser, som Herren befalede Mose, imellem en Mand og hans Hustru, imellem Faderen og hans Datter, i hendes Ungdom, medens hun er i sin Faders Hus.

These [are] the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and daughter in [her] youth in the house of [her] father.
