1 ൧ മോശെ യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളുടെ ഗോത്രപ്രധാനികളോട് പറഞ്ഞത്:” യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം കല്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു:
౧మోషే ఇశ్రాయేలు గోత్రాల నాయకులతో ఇలా అన్నాడు,
2 ൨ ‘ആരെങ്കിലും യഹോവയ്ക്ക് ഒരു നേർച്ച നേരുകയോ ഒരു പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതം അനുഷ്ഠിക്കുവാൻ ശപഥം ചെയ്യുകയോ ചെയ്താൽ അവൻ വാക്കിന് ഭംഗം വരുത്താതെ തന്റെ വായിൽനിന്ന് പുറപ്പെട്ടതുപോലെ എല്ലാം അവൻ നിവർത്തിക്കണം.
౨“ఇది యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞ. ఒకడు యెహోవాకు మొక్కుకుంటే లేక ప్రమాణం చేసి ఉంటే, అతడు మాట తప్పకూడదు. తన నోటినుండి వచ్చిన దానంతటినీ అతడు నెరవేర్చాలి.
3 ൩ ഒരു സ്ത്രീ ബാല്യപ്രായത്തിൽ അപ്പന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ ഇരിക്കുമ്പോൾ യഹോവയ്ക്ക് ഒരു നേർച്ചനേർന്ന് ഒരു പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതം നിശ്ചയിക്കുകയും
౩తన తండ్రి ఇంట్లో ఉన్న ఒక స్త్రీ యెహోవాకు చేసిన మొక్కుబడి గురించి ఆమె తండ్రి ఎరిగి, ఏమీ మాట్లాడకపోతే ఆమె మొక్కుబడి నిలిచి ఉంటుంది.
4 ൪ അവളുടെ അപ്പൻ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചയെയും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതത്തെയും കുറിച്ച് കേട്ടിട്ട് മിണ്ടാതിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ അവളുടെ എല്ലാ നേർച്ചകളും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കും.
౪ఆమె ప్రమాణాలు అన్నీ నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
5 ൫ എന്നാൽ അവളുടെ അപ്പൻ അവളുടെ എല്ലാ നേർച്ചയെയും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതത്തെയും കുറിച്ച് കേൾക്കുന്ന നാളിൽ അവളെ വിലക്കിയാൽ അവ സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കുകയില്ല; അവളുടെ അപ്പൻ അവളെ വിലക്കുകകൊണ്ട് യഹോവ അവളോട് ക്ഷമിക്കും.
౫అయితే ఆమె చేసిన ప్రమాణాలను ఆమె తండ్రి విని వాటి విషయంలో ఆక్షేపణ తెలిపి ఉంటే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు, ఏవీ నిలబడవు.
6 ൬ അവൾക്ക് ഒരു നേർച്ചയോ വിചാരിക്കാതെ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതമോ ഉള്ളപ്പോൾ
౬ఆమె తండ్రి దానికి ఆక్షేపణ తెలిపాడు కాబట్టి యెహోవా ఆమెను క్షమిస్తాడు.
7 ൭ അവൾ ഒരുവന് ഭാര്യയാകുകയും ഭർത്താവ് അതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് കേൾക്കുന്ന നാളിൽ മിണ്ടാതിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചകളും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കും.
౭ఆమె వివాహిత అయితే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, తొందరపాటులో చేసిన ప్రమాణాలు ఆమె భర్త ఎరిగి ఏమీ మాట్లాడకపోతే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు ఆమెపై నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
8 ൮ എന്നാൽ ഭർത്താവ് അത് കേട്ട നാളിൽ അവളെ വിലക്കിയാൽ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചയും അവൾ വിചാരിക്കാതെ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും അവൻ ദുർബ്ബലപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു; യഹോവ അവളോട് 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 ൯ വിധവയോ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടവളോ ചെയ്യുന്ന നേർച്ചയും പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും എല്ലാം അവളുടെമേൽ സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കും.
౯వితంతువు గాని విడాకులు ఇచ్చిన స్త్రీ గాని చేసిన మొక్కుబడులు అన్నీ ఆమె మీద నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
10 ൧൦ അവൾ ഭർത്താവിന്റെ വീട്ടിൽവച്ച് നേരുകയോ ഒരു പരിവർജ്ജനശപഥം ചെയ്യുകയോ ചെയ്തിട്ട്
౧౦ఆమె తన భర్త ఇంట్లో ఉన్నప్పుడు మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు చేసి ఉంటే,
11 ൧൧ ഭർത്താവ് അതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ മിണ്ടാതെയും അവളെ വിലക്കാതെയും ഇരുന്നാൽ അവളുടെ നേർച്ചകളും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും എല്ലാം സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കും.
౧౧వాటిని గురించి ఆమె భర్త విని ఏ ఆక్షేపణా చేయకుండా ఉంటే, ఆమె మొక్కుబడులు, ప్రమాణాలు, అన్నీ నిలిచి ఉంటాయి.
12 ൧൨ എന്നാൽ ഭർത്താവ് കേട്ട നാളിൽ അവയെ ദുർബ്ബലപ്പെടുത്തിയെങ്കിൽ നേർച്ചകളോ പരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതമോ സംബന്ധിച്ച് അവളുടെ നാവിൽനിന്ന് വീണതൊന്നും സ്ഥിരമായിരിക്കുകയില്ല; അവളുടെ ഭർത്താവ് അതിനെ ദുർബ്ബലപ്പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു; യഹോവ അവളോട് 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 ൧൩ ആത്മതപനം ചെയ്യുവാനുള്ള ഏത് നേർച്ചയും പരിവർജ്ജനശപഥവും സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തുവാനോ ദുർബ്ബലപ്പെടുത്തുവാനോ ഭർത്താവിന് അധികാരം ഉണ്ട്.
౧౩ఒక స్త్రీ చేసిన ప్రతి మొక్కుబడిని, ప్రమాణపూర్వకంగా తన మీద మోపుకొన్న ప్రతి బాధ్యతను ఆమె భర్త స్థిరపరచవచ్చు, రద్దు చేయవచ్చు.
14 ൧൪ എന്നാൽ ഭർത്താവ് ഒരിക്കലും ഒന്നും മിണ്ടിയില്ലെങ്കിൽ അവൻ അവളുടെ എല്ലാനേർച്ചയും അവൾ നിശ്ചയിച്ച സകലപരിവർജ്ജനവ്രതവും സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. കേട്ട നാളിൽ മിണ്ടാതിരിക്കുകകൊണ്ട് അവൻ അവയെ 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 ൧൫ എന്നാൽ കേട്ടിട്ട് കുറെ കഴിഞ്ഞശേഷം അവയെ ദുർബ്ബലപ്പെടുത്തിയാൽ അവൻ അവളുടെ കുറ്റം വഹിക്കും”.
౧౫అతడు వాటిని గురించి విన్న చాలా కాలం తరువాత వాటిని రద్దుచేస్తే, అతడు ఆమె దోషశిక్షను తానే భరిస్తాడు.”
16 ൧൬ ഭാര്യാഭർത്താക്കന്മാർ തമ്മിലും അപ്പന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ കന്യകയായി പാർക്കുന്ന മകളും അപ്പനും തമ്മിലും പ്രമാണിക്കേണ്ടതിന് യഹോവ മോശെയോട് കല്പിച്ച ചട്ടങ്ങൾ ഇവ തന്നെ.
౧౬ఇవి భర్తను గూర్చీ భార్యను గూర్చీ, తండ్రిని గూర్చీ బాల్యంలో తన తండ్రి ఇంట్లో ఉన్న కుమార్తెను గూర్చీ యెహోవా మోషేకిచ్చిన ఆజ్ఞలు.
