Números 30
1 Moisés habló a los jefes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: “Esto es lo que Yahvé ha ordenado.
And he said to the leaders of the tribes of the sons of Israel: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed:
2 Cuando un hombre haga un voto a Yahvé, o haga un juramento para atar su alma con un vínculo, no deberá faltar a su palabra. Hará conforme a todo lo que salga de su boca.
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 “Además, cuando una mujer hace un voto a Yahvé y se compromete con una promesa, estando en la casa de su padre, en su juventud,
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 oye su voto y su promesa con la que ha vinculado su alma, y su padre no le dice nada, entonces todos sus votos serán válidos, y toda promesa con la que haya vinculado su alma será válida.
whatever she has promised or swore, she shall complete in deed.
5 Pero si su padre se lo prohíbe el día que se entere, ninguno de sus votos ni de sus promesas con los que haya ligado su alma subsistirán. El Señor la perdonará, porque su padre se lo ha prohibido.
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 tiene marido, mientras sus votos están sobre ella, o la imprudente expresión de sus labios con la que ha ligado su alma,
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 lo oye, y no le dice nada el día que lo oye, entonces sus votos serán firmes, y sus promesas con las que ha ligado su alma serán firmes.
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 se lo prohíbe el día que lo oiga, entonces anulará su voto que está sobre ella y las palabras imprudentes de sus labios, con las que ha ligado su alma. El Señor la perdonará.
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 “Pero el voto de la viuda o de la divorciada, todo aquello con lo que haya ligado su alma quedará en su contra.
Widows and divorced women shall repay whatever they have vowed.
10 “Si ella hizo un voto en casa de su marido o vinculó su alma con un juramento,
If a wife in the house of her husband has bound herself by a vow or an oath,
11 y su marido lo oyó, y calló ante ella y no la desautorizó, entonces todos sus votos serán válidos, y toda prenda con la que vinculó su alma será válida.
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 los anuló el día que los oyó, entonces todo lo que haya salido de sus labios en cuanto a sus votos, o en cuanto al vínculo de su alma, no subsistirá. Su marido los ha anulado. El Señor la perdonará.
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 Todo voto, y todo juramento vinculante para afligir el alma, su marido puede establecerlo, o su marido puede anularlo.
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 esposo no le dice nada de un día para otro, entonces él establece todos sus votos o todos sus juramentos que están sobre ella. Los ha establecido, porque no le dijo nada el día que los escuchó.
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 Pero si los anula después de haberlos escuchado, entonces él cargará con su iniquidad.”
And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity.”
16 Estosson los estatutos que Yahvé ordenó a Moisés, entre un hombre y su esposa, entre un padre y su hija, estando en su juventud, en la casa de su padre.
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.
