Numbers 30
1 And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
Moses talte fremdeles til Overhovederne for Israeliternes Stammer og sagde: Dette er, hvad HERREN har paabudt:
2 If any man makes a vow to the Lord, or binds himself by an oath, he shall not make his word null and void, but all that he has promised, he shall fulfill.
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.
3 If a woman, who is in her father’s house, vows anything, or binds herself by an oath, and she is still in a state of childhood, if her father knew of the vow which she has promised or of the oath by which she has obligated her soul, and he kept silent, she shall be liable to the vow:
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,
4 whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
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.
5 But if her father, as soon as he had heard it, had contradicted it, both her vows and her oaths shall be nullified, neither shall she be held liable to the promise, because her father had contradicted it.
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.
6 If she has a husband, and she has vowed anything, then, once the word has gone out of her mouth, she will have obligated her soul by an oath.
Hvis hun bliver gift medens der paahviler hende Løfter eller en Forpligtelse, hun har paataget sig ved et uoverlagt Ord,
7 On the day that her husband will hear of it, and yet not contradict it, she shall be liable to the vow, and she shall repay whatever she has promised.
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.
8 But if, as soon as he hears it, he contradicts it, then he will have caused her promises, and the words by which she had bound her soul, to be null and void. The Lord will be favorable to her.
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.
9 Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
En Enkes og en forstødt Hustrus Løfte, enhver Forpligtelse til Afholdenhed, hun har paataget sig, er bindende for hende.
10 If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
Hvis en Kvinde i sin Mands Hus aflægger et Løfte eller ved Ed forpligter sig til Afholdenhed i en eller anden Retning,
11 if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
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.
12 But if he promptly contradicts it, she shall not be held liable to the promise. For her husband has contradicted it. And the Lord will be favorable to her.
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.
13 If she has vowed or bound herself by oath, in order to afflict her soul by fasting, or by abstaining from other things, it shall be for the arbitration of her husband, as to whether or not she may do it.
Ethvert Løfte og enhver ved Ed paatagen Forpligtelse til Faste kan hendes Mand stadfæste eller gøre ugyldig.
14 But if the husband, upon hearing it, remains silent, and he delays judgment until another day, whatever she had vowed or promised, she shall repay, because when he first heard it, he remained silent.
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;
15 And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
og hvis han vil gøre dem ugyldige, en Tid efter at han fik det at høre, skal han undgælde for hendes Brøde.
16 These are the laws which the Lord has appointed to Moses, between a husband and a wife, between a father and a daughter, who is still in the state of childhood or who remains in her father’s house.
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.
