Numbers 30
1 Moses/I spoke with the leaders of the Israeli tribes. He/I told them these commands that Yahweh had given to him/me:
et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israel: Iste est sermo quem præcepit Dominus:
2 “If a man solemnly promises Yahweh that he will do something, he must do what he promised.
Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit, aut se constrinxerit iuramento: non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne quod promisit, implebit.
3 “If a young woman who is still living with her parents solemnly promises to Yahweh to do something,
Mulier si quippiam voverit, et se constrinxerit iuramento, quæ est in domo patris sui, et in ætate adhuc puellari: si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est, et iuramentum quo obligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit:
4 and if her father hears about what she promised, and if he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
quidquid pollicita est et iuravit, opere complebit.
5 But if her father hears about what she promised and does not allow her to do that, then she does not need to do what she promised. Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
sin autem statim ut audierit, contradixerit pater: et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt, nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni, eo quod contradixerit pater.
6 “If a woman promises Yahweh that she will do something, but then she gets married,
Si maritum habuerit, et voverit aliquid, et semel de ore eius verbum egrediens animam eius obligaverit iuramento:
7 if her husband hears about what she promised to do, and he does not object, she must do what she promised [DOU].
quo die audierit vir, et non contradixerit, voti rea erit, reddetque quodcumque promiserat.
8 But if her husband hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing what she promised.
sin autem audiens statim contradixerit, et irritas fecerit pollicitationes eius, verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam: propitius erit ei Dominus.
9 “If a widow or a woman who has been divorced makes a promise, she must do what she promised.
Vidua et repudiata quidquid voverint, reddent.
10 “If a woman who is married promises [DOU] to do something,
Uxor in domo viri cum se voto constrinxerit et iuramento,
11 and if her husband hears about it but does not object, she must do what she promised.
si audierit vir, et tacuerit, nec contradixerit sponsioni, reddet quodcumque promiserat.
12 But if he hears about it and does not allow her to do that, she does not need to do what she promised, and Yahweh will forgive her for not doing it.
sin autem extemplo contradixerit, non tenebitur promissionis rea: quia maritus contradixit, et Dominus ei propitius erit.
13 A woman’s husband may require her to do what she has promised, or he may not allow her to do what she has promised.
Si voverit, et iuramento se constrinxerit, ut per ieiunium, vel ceterarum rerum abstinentiam affligat animam suam, in arbitrio viri erit ut faciat, sive non faciat.
14 If he does not object for several days [after he hears about it], she must do what she promised.
quod si audiens vir tacuerit, et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam: quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet: quia statim ut audivit, tacuit.
15 But if he waits a long time after she has promised to do something and then he tells her that he will not permit her to do it, if she does not do what she promised, [she will not be punished]; her husband is the one whom [Yahweh] will punish.”
sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem eius.
16 Those are the rules that Yahweh gave to Moses/me for husbands and wives, and for young women who are still living with their parents.
Istæ sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quæ in puellari adhuc ætate est, vel quæ manet in parentis domo.
