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:
Et il dit aux princes des tribus des enfants d’Israël: Voici la parole qu’a ordonnée le Seigneur:
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.
Si un homme a voué un vœu au Seigneur, ou s’est lié par serment, il ne rendra point vaine sa parole, mais il effectuera tout ce qu’il a promis.
3 And when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and has bound a bond in the house of her father in her youth,
Si une femme a voué quelque chose et s’est liée par serment, et qu’elle soit dans la maison de son père, et encore dans le jeune âge; si le père connaît le vœu qu’elle a fait, et le serment par lequel elle a lié son âme et qu’il garde le silence, elle est obligée à son vœu;
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.
Tout ce qu’elle a promis et juré, elle le mettra à effet;
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.
Mais, si, dès qu’il l’apprend, son père proteste contre, et ses vœux et ses serments seront nuls, et elle ne sera point obligée à tenir son engagement, parce que son père a protesté contre.
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,
Si elle a un mari, et qu’elle ait voué quelque chose, et qu’une parole une fois sortie de sa bouche ait obligé son âme par serment,
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.
Et que dans le jour où son mari l’a appris, il n’ait pas protesté contre, elle sera obligée à son vœu, et elle effectuera tout ce qu’elle a promis;
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.
Mais, si l’apprenant, le mari proteste contre aussitôt, et rend ainsi nulles ses promesses, et les paroles par lesquelles elle a lié son âme, le Seigneur lui sera propice.
9 As for the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she has bound on her soul is established on her.
Une veuve et une répudiée effectueront tout ce qu’elles ont voué.
10 And if she has vowed [in] the house of her husband, or has bound a bond on her soul with an oath,
Lorsqu’une femme dans la maison de son mari s’est liée par vœu ou par serment,
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.
Si son mari l’apprend, et qu’il garde le silence, et ne proteste pas contre son engagement, elle effectuera tout ce qu’elle a promis;
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.
Mais si sur-le-champ il proteste contre, elle ne sera pas obligée à tenir sa promesse, parce que son mari a protesté contre; et le Seigneur lui sera propice.
13 Every vow and every oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband establishes it, or her husband breaks it;
Si elle a fait un vœu, et si elle s’est obligée par serment à affliger son âme par le jeûne, ou par l’abstinence de toute sorte de choses, il dépendra de son mari qu’elle le fasse ou ne le fasse pas;
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;
Que, si l’apprenant, son mari garde le silence, et diffère jusqu’au lendemain à dire son sentiment, tout ce qu’elle a voué et promis, elle l’effectuera, parce que dès qu’il l’a appris, il a gardé le silence;
15 and if he indeed breaks them after his hearing, then he has borne her iniquity.”
Mais s’il a protesté contre, après qu’il est venu à le savoir, il portera lui-même l’iniquité de sa femme.
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.
Telles sont les lois que le Seigneur a établies par Moïse entre le mari et la femme, entre le père et la fille, qui est encore dans le jeune âge, ou qui demeure dans la maison de son père.
