Liber Numeri 30
1 et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israel: Iste est sermo quem praecepit Dominus:
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
2 Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit, aut se constrinxerit iuramento: non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne quod promisit, implebit.
If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
3 Mulier si quippiam voverit, et se constrinxerit iuramento, quae est in domo patris sui, et in aetate adhuc puellari: si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est, et iuramentum quo obligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit:
If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth,
4 quidquid pollicita est et iuravit, opere complebit.
and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 sin autem statim ut audierit, contradixerit pater: et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt, nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni, eo quod contradixerit pater.
But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her.
6 Si maritum habuerit, et voverit aliquid, et semel de ore eius verbum egrediens animam eius obligaverit iuramento:
And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,
7 quo die audierit vir, et non contradixerit, voti rea erit, reddetque quodcumque promiserat.
and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 sin autem audiens statim contradixerit, et irritas fecerit pollicitationes eius, verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam: propitius erit ei Dominus.
But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her.
9 Vidua et repudiata quidquid voverint, reddent.
But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, — everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
10 Uxor in domo viri
And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
13 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.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
14 quod si audiens vir tacuerit, et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam: quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet: quia statim ut audivit, tacuit.
And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
15 sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem eius.
But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 Istae sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quae in puellari adhuc aetate est, vel quae manet in parentis domo.
These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.
