Números 30
1 Moisés dijo a los jefes de las tribus de Israel: “Esto es lo que nos ordena el Señor:
And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
2 Si un hombre hace una promesa solemne al Señor, o promete hacer algo jurando, no debe romper su promesa. Debe hacer todo lo que dijo que haría.
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 “Si una mujer joven que aún vive en la casa de su padre hace una promesa solemne al Señor o se compromete a hacer algo mediante un juramento
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 y su padre se entera de su promesa o juramento pero no le dice nada, todas las promesas o juramentos que ha hecho se mantendrán.
whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
5 Pero si su padre las rechaza tan pronto como se entere, entonces ninguna de sus promesas o juramentos serán válidos. El Señor la liberará de cumplirlas porque su padre las ha desautorizado.
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 “Si una mujer se casa después de haber hecho una promesa solemne o un juramento sin pensarlo
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 y su marido se entera de ello pero no le dice nada inmediatamente, todas las promesas o juramentos que haya hecho se mantendrán.
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 Pero si su marido las rechaza cuando se entera de ello, entonces ninguna de sus promesas o juramentos permanecen válidos y el Señor la liberará de cumplirlos.
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 “Toda promesa solemne hecha por una viuda o una mujer divorciada debe cumplirse.
Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
10 “Si una mujer que vive con su marido hace una promesa solemne al Señor o se compromete a hacer algo mediante un juramento,
If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
11 y su marido se entera de su promesa o juramento pero no le dice nada y no lo desautoriza, entonces ninguna de sus promesas o juramentos permanecen válidos.
if her husband heard it and remained silent, and he did not contradict the promise, she shall repay what she had promised.
12 Pero si su marido las rechaza tan pronto como se entera de ello, entonces ninguna de sus promesas o juramentos siguen siendo válidos. El Señor la liberará de mantenerlas porque su marido las ha rechazado.
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 “Su marido también puede confirmar o rechazar cualquier promesa o juramento solemne que la mujer haga para negarse a sí misma.
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 Pero si su marido no le dice nunca una palabra al respecto, se supone que ha confirmado todas las promesas y juramentos solemnes que ella ha hecho.
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 Sin embargo, si él las rechaza algún tiempo después de enterarse de ellas, entonces él tendrá la responsabilidad de que ella las rompa”.
And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
16 Estos son los preceptos que el Señor dio a Moisés sobre la relación entre un hombre y su esposa, y entre un padre y una hija que es joven y todavía vive en casa.
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.
