Numbers 30
1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.
Et Moïse parla aux chefs des tribus d'Israël, et il leur dit: Voici la chose qu'a prescrite le Seigneur:
2 When a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
Quiconque aura fait un vœu au Seigneur, ou aura fait un serment, ou aura fait une promesse touchant sa propre vie, ne souillera pas sa parole; il exécutera ce qui est sorti de sa bouche.
3 "Also when a woman vows a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,
Si c'est une femme qui a fait un vœu au Seigneur, ou fait une promesse en sa jeunesse dans la maison de son père;
4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
Si son père apprend ce vœu ou cette promesse, et s'il garde le silence, tous ces vœux subsisteront. Tout ce qu'elle aura promis touchant sa vie, demeurera en elle.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Mais, si son père lui refuse son consentement, le jour où il aura appris ses vœux ou ses promesses faites touchant sa vie, ces vœux, ces promesses ne subsisteront pas.
6 "If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,
Si elle se marie, si elle tombe sous la puissance d'un époux encore chargée de ses vœux ou des promesses de ses lèvres faites touchant sa vie,
7 and her husband hears it, and holds his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
Et si son mari l'apprend, et s'il garde le silence le jour où il l'aura appris, ces vœux, ces promesses faites touchant sa vie, subsisteront pareillement.
8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and the LORD will forgive her.
Mais, si son mari lui refuse son consentement le jour où il aura appris ses vœux ou ses promesses faites touchant sa vie, ni ces vœux, ni ces promesses ne tiendront, parce que son mari lui aura refusé son consentement, et le Seigneur la purifiera.
9 "But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
Le vœu d'une veuve ou d'une femme répudiée, la promesse qu'elle aura faite touchant sa vie, demeureront en elle.
10 "If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
Si le vœu de la femme est fait dans la maison de son mari, et quelle y fasse sous serment une promesse touchant sa vie,
11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and did not disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
Si son mari l'apprend, et s'il garde le silence avec elle, et s'il ne lui refuse pas son consentement, ses vœux, ses promesses faites touchant sa vie, subsisteront contre elle.
12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and the LORD will forgive her.
Mais, si son époux, le jour où il aura appris ce qui est sorti de ses lèvres, annule ses vœux ou ses promesses touchant sa vie, ces vœux et ces promesses ne subsisteront pas, parce que son époux les aura annulés, et le Seigneur la purifiera.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Tout vœu, tout serment qui la lierait pour affliger sa vie, devra être confirmé par son époux, ou il l'en affranchira.
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he says nothing to her on the day that he heard them.
S'il garde le silence plusieurs jours, il aura confirmé les vœux et les promesses dont elle était chargée; il les aura confirmés pour elle, parce qu'il aura gardé le silence le jour où il les aura appris.
15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity."
Mais si l'époux, passé le jour où il les aura appris, les annule, il assumera sur lui le péché,
16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.
Telles sont les règles que le Seigneur a prescrites à Moïse entre le mari et la femme, entre le père et ses jeunes filles demeurant en la maison paternelle.
