Numbers 30
1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
Et Moïse parla aux chefs des tribus d'Israël, et il leur dit: Voici la chose qu'a prescrite le Seigneur:
2 If a man shall vow a vow to the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth 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 If a woman also shall vow a vow to the LORD, and bind [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 shall hear her vow, and her bond with which she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she hath 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 shall disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows or of her bonds with which she hath bound her soul shall stand: and the LORD shall 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 And if she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered aught from her lips, with which she 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 heard [it], and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she 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 disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make of no effect her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall 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 every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, 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 And 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] disallowed her not: 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 hath utterly made them void on the day 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 hath made them void; and the LORD shall 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 altogether holds his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in 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 any way make them void after that he hath 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 the father and his daughter, [being yet] 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.
