Numbers 30

1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel saying: This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded-

Moses told the tribal leaders of Israel, “This is what the Lord commands:

2 When, a man, shall vow a vow unto Yahweh, or swear an oath to bind a bond upon his soul, he shall not break his word, —according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth, shall he do.

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.

3 And, when, a woman, shall vow a vow unto Yahweh, and bind a bond, in the house of her father, in her youth;

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

4 and her father shall hear her vow or her bond which she bindeth upon her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul shall stand.

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.

5 But, if her father forbade her, in the day when he heard, none of her vows or her bonds which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand, —and, Yahweh, will pardon her, because her father forbade her.

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.

6 But, if she, belonged to a husband, when her vows were taken upon her, —or a rash utterance fell from her lips, wherewith she put a bond upon her soul;

If a woman marries after having made a solemn promise or sworn an oath without thinking

7 and her husband heard it, and on the day that he heard, he held his peace at her, then shall her vows stand and her bonds which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand,

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.

8 But if, on the day her husband heard, he forbade her, then shall he have made of none effect her vow that is upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she put a bond upon her soul, —and, Yahweh, will pardon her.

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.

9 But as for the vow of a widow, or of a woman divorced, whatsoever she hath bound on her soul, shall stand against her.

Every solemn promise made by a widow or a woman who is divorced must be kept.

10 But, if in the house of her husband, she vowed, or bound a bond upon her soul. with an oath;

If a woman living with her husband makes a solemn promise to the Lord or pledges to do something by swearing an oath,

11 and her husband heard, and held his peace at her, did not forbid her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand.

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.

12 But if her husband, did make, them, of none effect, on the day he heard, nothing which came forth out of her lips—of her vows, or of the bond of her soul, shall stand, —her husband, made it of none effect, and Yahweh, will pardon her:

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.

13 As for any vow, or any oath of binding, to humble one’s soul, her husband, may make it stand, or, her husband, may make it of none effect.

Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.

14 But if her husband do hold his peace, at her, from day to day, then shall he cause all her vows to stand, or all her bonds which are upon her, —cause them to stand, because he held his peace at her, on the day when he heard.

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.

15 And, if he, do make them of none effect, after that he hath heard them, then shall he bear her iniquity.

However, if he disallows them some time later after finding out about them, then he will bear the responsibility for her breaking them.”

16 These are the statutes which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in the house of her father.

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.
