民数記 30
1 モーセ、イスラエルの子孫の支派の長等に告て云ふヱホバの命じたまふ事は是のごとし
And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
2 人もしヱホバに誓願をかけ又はその身に斷物をなさんと誓ひなばその言詞を破るべからずその口より出ししごとく凡て爲べし
If any man makes a vow to the Lord, or binds himself by an oath, he shall not make his word null and void, but all that he has promised, he shall fulfill.
3 また女もし若くしてその父の家に居る時ヱホバに誓願をかけ又はその身斷物を爲ことあらんに
If a woman, who is in her father’s house, vows anything, or binds herself by an oath, and she is still in a state of childhood, if her father knew of the vow which she has promised or of the oath by which she has obligated her soul, and he kept silent, she shall be liable to the vow:
4 その父これが誓願またはその身に斷し斷物を聞て之にむかひて言ふこと無ば其かけたる誓願を行ひまたその身に斷し斷物を守るべし
whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
5 然どその父これを聞る日に之を允さざるあらばその誓願およびその身に斷し斷物を凡て止ることを得べしその父の允さざるなればヱホバこれを赦したまふなり
But if her father, as soon as he had heard it, had contradicted it, both her vows and her oaths shall be nullified, neither shall she be held liable to the promise, because her father had contradicted it.
6 もしまた夫に適く身にして自ら誓願をかけまたはその身に斷物せんと軽々しく口より言いだすことあらんに
If she has a husband, and she has vowed anything, then, once the word has gone out of her mouth, she will have obligated her soul by an oath.
7 その夫これを聞もそのこれを聞る日にこれに向ひて言ふこと無ばその誓願を行ひその身に斷し斷物を守るべし
On the day that her husband will hear of it, and yet not contradict it, she shall be liable to the vow, and she shall repay whatever she has promised.
8 されど夫もし之を聞る日にこれを允さざるならば之がかけし誓願または之がその身に斷物せんと軽々しく口に出ししところの事を空うするを得べしヱホバはその女を赦したまふなり
But if, as soon as he hears it, he contradicts it, then he will have caused her promises, and the words by which she had bound her soul, to be null and void. The Lord will be favorable to her.
9 また寡婦あるひは去れたる婦人の誓願など凡てその身になしし斷物はこれを守るべし
Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
10 婦女もしその夫の家において誓願をかけ又はその身に斷物せんと誓ふことあらんに
If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
11 夫これを聞てこれに對ひて言ふことなく之を允さざること無ばその誓願は凡てこれを行ふべくその身に斷し斷物は凡てこれを守るべし
if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
12 然どその夫もしこれを聞る日に全くこれを空うせばその誓願またはその斷物につき口より出しし事は凡て守るに及ばずその夫これを空くなしたるなればヱホバその婦女を赦したまふなり
But if he promptly contradicts it, she shall not be held liable to the promise. For her husband has contradicted it. And the Lord will be favorable to her.
13 凡の誓願および凡てその身をなやますところの誓約は夫これを堅うすることを得夫これを空うすることを得べし
If she has vowed or bound herself by oath, in order to afflict her soul by fasting, or by abstaining from other things, it shall be for the arbitration of her husband, as to whether or not she may do it.
14 その夫もし之にむかひて言ふことなくして日をおくらば之が誓願またはこれが斷物を凡て堅うするなり彼これを聞る日に妻にむかひて言ふことを爲ざるに因て之を堅うせるなり
But if the husband, upon hearing it, remains silent, and he delays judgment until another day, whatever she had vowed or promised, she shall repay, because when he first heard it, he remained silent.
15 然どその夫もしこれを聞たる後にいたりてこれを空うする事あらばその妻の罪を任べし
And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
16 是すなはちヱホバがモーセに命じたまへる法令にして夫と妻および父とその女子の少くして父の家にある者とにかかはる者なり
These are the laws which the Lord has appointed to Moses, between a husband and a wife, between a father and a daughter, who is still in the state of childhood or who remains in her father’s house.
