民数記 30
1 モーセはイスラエルの人々の部族のかしらたちに言った、「これは主が命じられた事である。
And Moses speaks to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded:
2 もし人が主に誓願をかけ、またはその身に物断ちをしようと誓いをするならば、その言葉を破ってはならない。口で言ったとおりにすべて行わなければならない。
When a man vows a vow to YHWH, or has sworn an oath to bind a bond on his soul, he does not defile his word; he does according to all that is going out from his mouth.
3 またもし女がまだ若く、父の家にいて、主に誓願をかけ、またはその身に物断ちをしようとする時、
And when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and has bound a bond in the house of her father in her youth,
4 父が彼女の誓願、または彼女の身に断った物断ちのことを聞いて、彼女に何も言わないならば、彼女はすべて誓願を行い、またその身に断った物断ちをすべて守らなければならない。
and her father has heard her vow and her bond which she has bound on her soul, and her father has kept silent to her, then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
5 しかし、彼女の父がそれを聞いた日に、それを承認しない時は、彼女はその誓願、またはその身に断った物断ちをすべてやめることができる。父が承認しないのであるから、主は彼女をゆるされるであろう。
And if her father has disallowed her in the day of his hearing, none of her vows and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established, and YHWH is propitious to her, for her father has disallowed her.
6 またもし夫のある身で、みずから誓願をかけ、またはその身に物断ちをしようと、軽々しく口で言った場合、
And if she is having a husband, and her vows [are] on her, or a wrongful utterance [on] her lips which she has bound on her soul,
7 夫がそれを聞き、それを聞いた日に彼女に何も言わないならば、彼女はその誓願を行い、その身に断った物断ちを守らなければならない。
and her husband has heard, and in the day of his hearing he has kept silent to her, then her vows have been established, and her bonds which she has bound on her soul are established.
8 しかし、もし夫がそれを聞いた日に、それを承認しないならば、夫はその女がかけた誓願、またはその身に物断ちをしようと、軽々しく口に言ったことをやめさせることができる。主はその女をゆるされるであろう。
And if in the day of her husband’s hearing he disallows her, then he has broken her vow which [is] on her, and the wrongful utterance of her lips which she has bound on her soul, and YHWH is propitious to her.
9 しかし、寡婦あるいは離縁された女の誓願、すべてその身に断った物断ちは、それを守らなければならない。
As for the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she has bound on her soul is established on her.
10 もし女が夫の家で誓願をかけ、またはその身に物断ちをしようと誓った時、
And if she has vowed [in] the house of her husband, or has bound a bond on her soul with an oath,
11 夫がそれを聞いて、彼女に何も言わず、またそれに反対しないならば、その誓願はすべて行わなければならない。またその身に断った物断ちはすべて守らなければならない。
and her husband has heard, and has kept silent to her—he has not disallowed her—then all her vows have been established, and every bond which she has bound on her soul is established.
12 しかし、もし夫がそれを聞いた日にそれを認めないならば、彼女の誓願、または身の物断ちについて、彼女が口で言った事は、すべてやめることができる。夫がそれを認めなかったのだから、主はその女をゆるされるであろう。
And if her husband certainly breaks them in the day of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established—her husband has broken them—and YHWH is propitious to her.
13 すべての誓願およびすべてその身を悩ます物断ちの誓約は、夫がそれを守らせることができ、または夫がそれをやめさせることができる。
Every vow and every oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband establishes it, or her husband breaks it;
14 もし夫が彼女に何も言わずに日を送るならば、彼は妻がした誓願、または物断ちをすべて認めたのである。彼はそれを聞いた日に妻に何も言わなかったのだから、それを認めたのである。
and if her husband certainly keeps silent to her from day to day, then he has established all her vows or all her bonds which [are] on her; he has established them, for he has kept silent to her in the day of his hearing;
15 しかし、もし夫がそれを聞き、あとになって、それを認めないならば、彼は妻の罪を負わなければならない」。
and if he indeed breaks them after his hearing, then he has borne her iniquity.”
16 これらは主がモーセに命じられた定めであって、夫と妻との間、および父とまだ若くて父の家にいる娘との間に関するものである。
These [are] the statutes which YHWH has commanded Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth, [in] the house of her father.
