< 4 Mosebog 30 >
1 Moses talte fremdeles til Overhovederne for Israeliternes Stammer og sagde: Dette er, hvad HERREN har paabudt:
Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the people of Israel. He said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded.
2 Naar en Mand aflægger et Løfte til HERREN eller ved Ed forpligter sig til Afholdenhed i en eller anden Retning, maa han ikke bryde sit Ord, men skal holde hvert Ord, der er udgaaet af hans Mund.
When anyone makes a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind himself with a promise, he must not break his word. He must keep his promise to do everything that comes out of his mouth.
3 Men naar en Kvinde aflægger et Løfte til HERREN og forpligter sig til Afholdenhed i en eller anden Retning, medens hun endnu i sine unge Aar opholder sig i sin Faders Hus,
When a young woman living in her father's house makes a vow to Yahweh and binds herself with a promise,
4 og hendes Fader, naar han hører om hendes Løfte og den Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, ikke siger noget til hende, saa skal alle hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og enhver Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, skal staa ved Magt.
if her father hears the vow and the promise by which she has bound herself, and if he says nothing to reverse her, then all her vows will remain in force. Every promise by which she has bound herself will remain in force.
5 Hvis hendes Fader derimod formener hende det, samme Dag han faar det at høre, skal ingen af hendes Løfter eller af de Forpligtelser til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, staa ved Magt, og HERREN skal tilgive hende, fordi hendes Fader har forment hende det.
But if her father hears about her vow and her promise, and if he says nothing to her, then all the vows and promises that she took on herself will remain in force.
6 Hvis hun bliver gift medens der paahviler hende Løfter eller en Forpligtelse, hun har paataget sig ved et uoverlagt Ord,
However, if her father hears all the vows she made and her solemn promises with which she has bound herself, and if he overrules her on that same day, then they will not remain in force. Yahweh will forgive her because her father had overruled her.
7 og hendes Mand ikke siger noget til hende, samme Dag han faar det at høre, skal hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og den Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, skal staa ved Magt.
If she marries a man while she is under those vows, or if she makes rash promises with which she obligates herself, those obligations will remain in force.
8 Hvis hendes Mand derimod formener hende det, samme Dag han faar det at høre, gør han dermed det Løfte, der paahviler hende, og den Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig ved et uoverlagt Ord, ugyldig, og HERREN skal tilgive hende.
But if her husband stops her on the day that he hears about it, then he cancels the vow that she has made, the rash talk of her lips with which she has bound herself. Yahweh will release her.
9 En Enkes og en forstødt Hustrus Løfte, enhver Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, er bindende for hende.
But as for a widow or a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself will remain in force against her.
10 Hvis en Kvinde i sin Mands Hus aflægger et Løfte eller ved Ed forpligter sig til Afholdenhed i en eller anden Retning,
If a woman made a vow in her husband's house or obligates herself by taking an oath,
11 og hendes Mand, naar han faar det at høre, ikke siger noget til hende og ikke formener hende det, skal alle hendes Løfter staa ved Magt, og enhver Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, skal staa ved Magt.
and her husband hears of it, but he says nothing to her and he does oppose her, then all her vows must stand and the obligations she made must remain in force.
12 Hvis hendes Mand derimod, samme Dag han faar det at høre, gør det ugyldigt, saa staar intet af det, hun har udtalt, ved Magt, hverken hendes Løfter eller den paatagne Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed; hendes Mand har gjort dem ugyldige, og HERREN skal tilgive hende.
But if her husband cancels them on the day that he heard about them, then whatever came out of her lips about her vows or promises will not remain in force. Her husband has canceled them. Yahweh will release her.
13 Ethvert Løfte og enhver ved Ed paatagen Forpligtelse til Faste kan hendes Mand stadfæste eller gøre ugyldig.
Every vow or oath a woman takes that binds her to deny herself something may be confirmed or canceled by her husband.
14 Men hvis hendes Mand tier stille over for hende til næste Dag, stadfæster han alle hendes Løfter og alle de Forpligtelser til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig; han har stadfæstet dem, thi han sagde ikke noget til hende, samme Dag han fik det at høre;
But if he says nothing at all to her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and binding promises that she has made. He has confirmed them because he has said nothing to her at the time that he heard about them.
15 og hvis han vil gøre dem ugyldige, en Tid efter at han fik det at høre, skal han undgælde for hendes Brøde.
If her husband tries to cancel his wife's vow a long time after he has heard about it, then he will be responsible for her sin.”
16 Det er de Anordninger, HERREN gav Moses om Forholdet mellem Mand og Hustru og mellem Fader og Datter, medens hun endnu i sine unge Aar opholder sig i hans Hus.
These are the statutes that Yahweh commanded Moses to announce—statutes for what is between a man and his wife and between a father and his daughter when she is in her youth in her father's family.
