Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saving, This is the thing which the Lord 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 make a vow unto the Lord, or he swear an oath to bind his soul with an obligation: he shall not profane his word; according to all that proceedeth 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 And if a woman make a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by an obligation, being 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 obligation wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father be silent to her: then shall all her vows stand, and every obligation 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 disallow her on the day that he heareth it: all her vows or her obligations, wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall not stand; and the Lord will forgive her, because her father hath disallowed 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 be given to a man, and have vows upon her, or what she may have uttered with 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 to her on the day that he heareth it: then shall her vows stand, and her obligations wherewith she hath 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 on the day of her husband's hearing it, he disallow her: then doth he annul her vow which is upon her, and that which she hath uttered with her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul; and the Lord will forgive 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 regarding the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, all, wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand for 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 had vowed in her husband's house, or had bound her soul by an obligation with an oath;
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 heard it, and was silent to her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every obligation, 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 hath annulled them on the day he heard them: then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips, concerning her vows, or concerning the obligation of her soul, shall not stand; her husband hath annulled them; and the Lord will forgive 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 person, her husband may confirm it, or her husband may 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 But if her husband should be silent to her from day to day: then hath he confirmed all her vows, or all her obligations, which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, because he was silent to her on 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 should annul them after [the day] that he hath heard them: then shall he 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 the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet 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。
