< Numbers 30 >

1 Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:
et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israel: Iste est sermo quem præcepit Dominus:
2 If a man makes a solemn promise to the Lord, or pledges to do something by swearing an oath, he must not break his promise. He must do everything he said he would.
Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit, aut se constrinxerit iuramento: non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne quod promisit, implebit.
3 If a woman who's young and still living in her father's house makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath
Mulier si quippiam voverit, et se constrinxerit iuramento, quæ est in domo patris sui, et in ætate adhuc puellari: si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est, et iuramentum quo obligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit:
4 and her father finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
quidquid pollicita est et iuravit, opere complebit.
5 But if her father disallows them as soon as he finds out, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her father has disallowed them.
Sin autem statim ut audierit, contradixerit pater: et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt, nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni, eo quod contradixerit pater.
6 If a woman marries after having made a solemn promise or sworn an oath without thinking
Si maritum habuerit, et voverit aliquid, et semel de ore eius verbum egrediens animam eius obligaverit iuramento:
7 and her husband finds out about it but doesn't say anything to her right away, all the promises or pledges she has sworn to do will stand.
quo die audierit vir, et non contradixerit, voti rea erit, reddetque quodcumque promiserat.
8 But if her husband disallows them when he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid and the Lord will release her from keeping them.
Sin autem audiens statim contradixerit, et irritas fecerit pollicitationes eius, verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam: propitius erit ei Dominus.
9 Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.
Vidua et repudiata quidquid voverint, reddent.
10 If a woman living with her husband makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath,
Uxor in domo viri cum se voto constrinxerit et iuramento,
11 and her husband finds out about her promise or pledge but doesn't say anything to her and doesn't disallow them, then none of her promises or pledges remain valid.
si audierit vir, et tacuerit, nec contradixerit sponsioni, reddet quodcumque promiserat.
12 But if her husband disallows them as soon as he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her husband has disallowed them.
Sin autem extemplo contradixerit, non tenebitur promissionis rea: quia maritus contradixit: et Dominus ei propitius erit.
13 Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.
Si voverit, et iuramento se constrinxerit, ut per ieiunium, vel ceterarum rerum abstinentiam affligat animam suam, in arbitrio viri erit ut faciat, sive non faciat.
14 But if her husband doesn't ever say a word to her about it, then he is assumed to have confirmed all the solemn promises and pledges she has made.
Quod si audiens vir tacuerit, et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam: quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet: quia statim ut audivit, tacuit.
15 However, if he disallows them some time later after finding out about them, then he will bear the responsibility for her breaking them.”
Sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem eius.
16 These are the regulations that the Lord gave to Moses regarding the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a daughter who is young and still living at home.
Istæ sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quæ in puellari adhuc ætate est, vel quæ manet in parentis domo.
