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.
Moisés habló también a los jefes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: “He aquí lo que Yahvé ha mandado:
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 hombre hace voto a Yahvé, o bajo juramento se obliga a un compromiso, no quebrantará su palabra, sino que cumplirá todo lo prometido.
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 una mujer no casada hace un voto a Yahvé, o se obliga a un compromiso, estando todavía en casa de su padre,
4 and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.
y su padre, al saber el voto de ella y el compromiso contraído no le dice nada, serán válidos todos sus votos y todos los compromisos que ella haya contraído para su alma.
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.
Mas si su padre al saberlo protesta, serán inválidos todos sus votos y los compromisos con que se haya obligado, y Yahvé se lo perdonará, por cuanto su padre ha protestado.
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 ella se casa teniendo sobre sí sus votos, o alguna palabra inconsiderada salida de sus labios con que se haya obligado,
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.
y su marido lo oye y no dice nada el día de oírlo, entonces son válidos sus votos y los compromisos con que se haya obligado.
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.
Pero si su marido al oírlo protesta, anula él así el voto que ella tiene sobre sí, y la inconsiderada palabra salida de sus labios con que se ha obligado, y Yahvé la perdonará.
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.
Mas el voto de una viuda, o de una repudiada, cualquier compromiso con que se hayan obligado, tiene validez.
10 And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,
Si una mujer, estando ya en casa de su marido, hace un voto o se obliga con juramento a un compromiso,
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.
y su marido al saberlo guarda silencio, y no protesta, serán válidos todos sus votos, y todos los compromisos con que se haya obligado.
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.
Pero si su marido al saberlo lo anula terminantemente, será inválido todo cuanto salió de los labios de ella, tanto votos, como obligaciones contraídas para su alma. Su marido los ha anulado y Yahvé la perdonará.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.
Todo voto y todo juramento, por el cual ella se obliga a mortificarse, su marido puede confirmarlos o anularlos.
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.
Si su marido durante algunos días guarda silencio, entonces él mismo confirma todos los votos de ella, y todas las obligaciones que pesan sobre ella: los confirma por no haberle dicho nada cuando lo supo.
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.
Si él, después de enterado los anula más tarde, llevara sobre sí la iniquidad de ella.”
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.
Estas son las leyes que Yahvé por medio de Moisés ha establecido para las relaciones entre el marido y su mujer, y entre el padre y su hija, siendo esta todavía joven y estando en casa de su padre.
