Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.
Et il dit aux princes des tribus des enfants d’Israël: Voici la parole qu’a ordonnée le Seigneur:
2 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.
Si un homme a voué un vœu au Seigneur, ou s’est lié par serment, il ne rendra point vaine sa parole, mais il effectuera tout ce qu’il a promis.
3 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,
Si une femme a voué quelque chose et s’est liée par serment, et qu’elle soit dans la maison de son père, et encore dans le jeune âge; si le père connaît le vœu qu’elle a fait, et le serment par lequel elle a lié son âme et qu’il garde le silence, elle est obligée à son vœu;
4 and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.
Tout ce qu’elle a promis et juré, elle le mettra à effet;
5 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.
Mais, si, dès qu’il l’apprend, son père proteste contre, et ses vœux et ses serments seront nuls, et elle ne sera point obligée à tenir son engagement, parce que son père a protesté contre.
6 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;
Si elle a un mari, et qu’elle ait voué quelque chose, et qu’une parole une fois sortie de sa bouche ait obligé son âme par serment,
7 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.
Et que dans le jour où son mari l’a appris, il n’ait pas protesté contre, elle sera obligée à son vœu, et elle effectuera tout ce qu’elle a promis;
8 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.
Mais, si l’apprenant, le mari proteste contre aussitôt, et rend ainsi nulles ses promesses, et les paroles par lesquelles elle a lié son âme, le Seigneur lui sera propice.
9 And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.
Une veuve et une répudiée effectueront tout ce qu’elles ont voué.
10 And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,
Lorsqu’une femme dans la maison de son mari s’est liée par vœu ou par serment,
11 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.
Si son mari l’apprend, et qu’il garde le silence, et ne proteste pas contre son engagement, elle effectuera tout ce qu’elle a promis;
12 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.
Mais si sur-le-champ il proteste contre, elle ne sera pas obligée à tenir sa promesse, parce que son mari a protesté contre; et le Seigneur lui sera propice.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.
Si elle a fait un vœu, et si elle s’est obligée par serment à affliger son âme par le jeûne, ou par l’abstinence de toute sorte de choses, il dépendra de son mari qu’elle le fasse ou ne le fasse pas;
14 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.
Que, si l’apprenant, son mari garde le silence, et diffère jusqu’au lendemain à dire son sentiment, tout ce qu’elle a voué et promis, elle l’effectuera, parce que dès qu’il l’a appris, il a gardé le silence;
15 And if her husband should in any wise cancel [them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his iniquity.
Mais s’il a protesté contre, après qu’il est venu à le savoir, il portera lui-même l’iniquité de sa femme.
16 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.
Telles sont les lois que le Seigneur a établies par Moïse entre le mari et la femme, entre le père et la fille, qui est encore dans le jeune âge, ou qui demeure dans la maison de son père.
