Numbers 30
1 And Moses speaks to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has 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 When a man vows a vow to YHWH, or has sworn an oath to bind a bond on his soul, he does not defile his word; he does according to all that is going out from his mouth.
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 when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and has bound a bond in the house of her father 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 has heard her vow and her bond which she has bound on her soul, and her father has kept silent to her, then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
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 And if her father has disallowed her in the day of his hearing, none of her vows and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established, and YHWH is propitious to her, for her father has 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 is having a husband, and her vows [are] on her, or a wrongful utterance [on] her lips which she has bound on 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 has heard, and in the day of his hearing he has kept silent to her, then her vows have been established, and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established.
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 And if in the day of her husband’s hearing he disallows her, then he has broken her vow which [is] on her, and the wrongful utterance of her lips which she has bound on her soul, and YHWH is propitious to 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 As for the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she has bound on her soul is established on 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 has vowed [in] the house of her husband, or has bound a bond on her soul 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 has heard, and has kept silent to her—he has not disallowed her—then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
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 And if her husband certainly breaks them in the day of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established—her husband has broken them—and YHWH is propitious to 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 oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband establishes it, or her husband breaks 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 certainly keeps silent to her from day to day, then he has established all her vows or all her bonds which [are] on her; he has established them, for he has kept silent to her in the day of his hearing;
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 and if he indeed breaks them after his hearing, then he has borne 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 YHWH has commanded Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth, [in] the house of her father.
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。
