Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
梅瑟訓示以色列子民各支派的首領說：「這是上主所吩咐的：
2 If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
若人向上主許願，或發誓戒絕什麼，他不可食言，應全照口中所的去做。
3 If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,
那還在父家的年輕女子，若人向上主許願，或發願戒絕什麼，
4 and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
她父親聽到了她許的願和她發誓戒絕的事，卻對她未發一言，她許的願和她所發的戒誓，概為有效。
5 But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.
但是，如果她父親在聽到的那天，禁止了她，她所許的願和所發的戒誓，概不生效；上主必寬恕她，因為她父親禁了止了她。
6 And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,
如果她有權在身，或口中冒然發了戒絕某事的誓，而已出嫁，
7 and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
她丈夫聽說了，在聽說的那天，對她未發一言，她的願和她所說的戒誓，仍為有效；
8 But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.
但是，如果她丈夫在聽說的那天，禁止了她，他就取消了她許的願，和口中冒然所發的戒誓，上主也必寬恕她。
9 But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, — everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
寡婦或棄婦所許的願，或她所發的戒誓，概為有丈夫效。
10 And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
但是，如果她尚在丈夫家內許了願，或發誓要戒絕什麼，
11 and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
若她丈夫聽說了，未發一言，沒有禁止她，她的願仍為有效，她所發的戒誓，亦為有效。
12 But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
但是，如果她的丈夫，在聽說的那天，聲明無效；凡她所說出的，不論是許的願，或發的戒誓，一概無效；她的丈夫既聲明無效，上主也就寬恕她。
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
凡女人所許的願，或為苦身克己所發的誓，丈夫能使之生效，亦能聲明無效。
14 And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
但是如果她的丈夫兩天內對她未發一言，就算他使她所許的願和她發的戒誓生效，因為在他聽說的那天，對她未發一言，就已算贊成。
15 But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
但若他聽說很久以後，才聲明無效，他應負妻子的罪債」。
16 These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
這是有關丈夫和妻子的關係，父親與尚在家內年輕女兒的關係，上主向梅瑟吩咐的法令。
