< Numbers 30 >

1 Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:
et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israhel iste est sermo quem praecepit 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 quae est in domo patris sui et in aetate 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.
quicquid pollicita est et iuravit opere conplebit
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 verbum de ore eius egrediens animam illius 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 reddet 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 ei erit Dominus
9 Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.
vidua et repudiata quicquid 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 adfligat 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 quicquid 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.
istae sunt leges quas constituit Dominus Mosi inter virum et uxorem inter patrem et filiam quae in puellari adhuc aetate est vel quae manet in parentis domo
