സംഖ്യാപുസ്തകം 30
1 ഇസ്രായേൽഗോത്രങ്ങളുടെ തലവന്മാരോടു മോശ പറഞ്ഞു: “യഹോവ കൽപ്പിച്ചത് ഇതാണ്:
౧మోషే ఇశ్రాయేలు గోత్రాల నాయకులతో ఇలా అన్నాడు,
2 ഒരു പുരുഷൻ യഹോവയ്ക്ക് ഒരു നേർച്ച നേരുകയോ വ്രതം അനുഷ്ഠിക്കാൻ ശപഥംചെയ്യുകയോ ചെയ്താൽ അയാൾ തന്റെ വാക്ക് മാറ്റാൻ പാടില്ല; ശപഥംചെയ്തവയെല്ലാം അയാൾ അനുഷ്ഠിക്കണം.
౨“ఇది యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞ. ఒకడు యెహోవాకు మొక్కుకుంటే లేక ప్రమాణం చేసి ఉంటే, అతడు మాట తప్పకూడదు. తన నోటినుండి వచ్చిన దానంతటినీ అతడు నెరవేర్చాలి.
3 “തന്റെ പിതാവിന്റെ ഭവനത്തിൽത്തന്നെ താമസിക്കുന്ന ഒരു യുവതി യഹോവയ്ക്ക് ഒരു നേർച്ചനേരുകയും ഒരു വ്രതം നിശ്ചയിക്കുകയും
౩తన తండ్రి ఇంట్లో ఉన్న ఒక స్త్రీ యెహోవాకు చేసిన మొక్కుబడి గురించి ఆమె తండ్రి ఎరిగి, ఏమీ మాట్లాడకపోతే ఆమె మొక్కుబడి నిలిచి ఉంటుంది.
4 അവളുടെ പിതാവ് ആ നേർച്ചയെക്കുറിച്ചോ ശപഥത്തെക്കുറിച്ചോ കേൾക്കുകയും അവളോട് ഒന്നും പറയാതിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ, അവളുടെ സകലനേർച്ചകളും, അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച വ്രതമൊക്കെയും നിലനിൽക്കും.
౪ఆమె ప్రమాణాలు అన్నీ నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
5 എന്നാൽ അവളുടെ പിതാവ് അതേക്കുറിച്ചു കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ അദ്ദേഹം അവളെ വിലക്കിയാൽ, അവളുടെ നേർച്ചകളിലും വ്രതത്തിലും ഒന്നും നിലനിൽക്കുകയില്ല; അവളുടെ പിതാവ് അവളെ വിലക്കിയതിനാൽ യഹോവ അവളോടു ക്ഷമിക്കും.
౫అయితే ఆమె చేసిన ప్రమాణాలను ఆమె తండ్రి విని వాటి విషయంలో ఆక్షేపణ తెలిపి ఉంటే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు, ఏవీ నిలబడవు.
6 “ഒരു നേർച്ച നേരുകയോ വ്രതത്തിനു തിടുക്കപ്പെട്ട് അധരങ്ങളാൽ ഒരു ശപഥംചെയ്യുകയോ ചെയ്തശേഷം അവൾ വിവാഹംകഴിക്കുകയും
౬ఆమె తండ్రి దానికి ఆక్షేపణ తెలిపాడు కాబట్టి యెహోవా ఆమెను క్షమిస్తాడు.
7 അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അതേക്കുറിച്ചു കേട്ടിട്ട് അവളോടൊന്നും മിണ്ടാതിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചകളും വ്രതങ്ങളും നിലനിൽക്കും.
౭ఆమె వివాహిత అయితే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, తొందరపాటులో చేసిన ప్రమాణాలు ఆమె భర్త ఎరిగి ఏమీ మాట్లాడకపోతే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు ఆమెపై నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
8 എന്നാൽ അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അതു കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ അവളെ വിലക്കുന്നെങ്കിൽ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചയും വ്രതത്തിനു തിടുക്കപ്പെട്ടുചെയ്ത ശപഥവും അദ്ദേഹം ദുർബലപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. യഹോവ അവളോടു ക്ഷമിക്കും.
౮అయితే ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, తొందరపాటులో చేసిన ప్రమాణాలు ఆమె భర్త విని వాటి విషయంలో ఆక్షేపణ తెలిపి ఉంటే, అతడు ఆమె మొక్కుబడులను, తొందరపాటుగా చేసిన ప్రమాణాలను రద్దు చేసిన వాడవుతాడు. యెహోవా ఆమెను క్షమిస్తాడు.
9 “ഒരു വിധവയോ വിവാഹമോചനം ചെയ്യപ്പെട്ടവളായ ഒരു സ്ത്രീയോ നേരുന്ന നേർച്ചയും വ്രതവും അവളുടെമേൽ നിലനിൽക്കും.
౯వితంతువు గాని విడాకులు ఇచ్చిన స్త్రీ గాని చేసిన మొక్కుబడులు అన్నీ ఆమె మీద నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
10 “ഭർത്താവിന്റെകൂടെ ജീവിക്കുന്ന ഒരു സ്ത്രീ ഒരു നേർച്ചനേരുകയും വ്രതത്തിനു ശപഥംചെയ്യുകയും
౧౦ఆమె తన భర్త ఇంట్లో ఉన్నప్పుడు మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు చేసి ఉంటే,
11 അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അതേക്കുറിച്ചു കേട്ടിട്ടും, അവളോടൊന്നും പറയാതിരിക്കുകയും അവളെ വിലക്കാതിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ അവളുടെ സകലനേർച്ചകളും വ്രതത്തിനു ചെയ്ത ശപഥവും നിലനിൽക്കും.
౧౧వాటిని గురించి ఆమె భర్త విని ఏ ఆక్షేపణా చేయకుండా ఉంటే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు, అన్నీ నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
12 എന്നാൽ അവയെക്കുറിച്ചു കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അവയെ ദുർബലപ്പെടുത്തിയാൽ അവളുടെ അധരങ്ങളിൽനിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ട നേർച്ചകളിലോ ശപഥങ്ങളിലോ ഒന്നുപോലും നിലനിൽക്കുകയില്ല. അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അവ വിലക്കിയതിനാൽ യഹോവ അവളോടു ക്ഷമിക്കും.
౧౨ఆమె భర్త వాటి గురించి విన్న రోజునే వాటిని పూర్తిగా రద్దు చేసి ఉంటే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు గురించిన ఆమె మాటలు ఏవీ నిలబడవు. ఆమె భర్త వాటిని రద్దుచేశాడు కాబట్టి యెహోవా ఆమెను క్షమిస్తాడు.
13 ആത്മതപനം ചെയ്യാനുള്ള നേർച്ചയോ വ്രതമോ സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തുകയോ അസ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തുകയോ ചെയ്യാൻ അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവിന് അധികാരമുണ്ട്.
౧౩ఒక స్త్రీ చేసిన ప్రతి మొక్కుబడిని, ప్రమాణపూర్వకంగా తన మీద మోపుకొన్న ప్రతి బాధ్యతను ఆమె భర్త స్థిరపరచవచ్చు, రద్దు చేయవచ్చు.
14 എന്നാൽ അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അതേപ്പറ്റി അവളോട് ദിവസങ്ങളോളം ഒന്നും മിണ്ടാതിരിക്കുന്നെങ്കിൽ, അവൾ കടപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്ന അവളുടെ സകലനേർച്ചകളും ശപഥങ്ങളും അദ്ദേഹം സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തുകയാണ്. അവയെക്കുറിച്ച് കേട്ടിട്ടും അവളോട് ഒന്നും മിണ്ടാതിരുന്നതിലൂടെ അദ്ദേഹം അവ സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౪అలా కాక ఆమె భర్త ఎప్పటికప్పుడు దాని విషయం మౌనంగా ఉంటూ వస్తే, అతడు ఆమె చేసిన మొక్కుబడులనూ ప్రమాణాలనూ స్థిరపరచిన వాడవుతాడు. అతడు వాటిని విన్న రోజు మౌనంగా ఉండడం ద్వారా వాటిని స్థిరపరిచాడు.
15 എന്നാൽ, അവയെക്കുറിച്ച് കേട്ട് കുറെക്കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞ് അദ്ദേഹം അത് ദുർബലപ്പെടുത്തിയാൽ ആ മനുഷ്യൻതന്നെയായിരിക്കും അവളുടെ തെറ്റിന് ഉത്തരവാദി.”
౧౫అతడు వాటిని గురించి విన్న చాలా కాలం తరువాత వాటిని రద్దుచేస్తే, అతడు ఆమె దోషశిక్షను తానే భరిస్తాడు.”
16 ഒരു പുരുഷനും അയാളുടെ ഭാര്യയുംതമ്മിലും ഒരു പിതാവും തന്റെ വീട്ടിൽത്തന്നെ താമസിക്കുന്ന യുവതിയായ പുത്രിയുംതമ്മിലും ഉള്ള ബന്ധങ്ങൾ സംബന്ധിച്ച് യഹോവ മോശയ്ക്കു നൽകിയ നിബന്ധനകൾ ഇവയാണ്.
౧౬ఇవి భర్తను గూర్చీ భార్యను గూర్చీ, తండ్రిని గూర్చీ బాల్యంలో తన తండ్రి ఇంట్లో ఉన్న కుమార్తెను గూర్చీ యెహోవా మోషేకిచ్చిన ఆజ్ఞలు.
