Números 30

1 Moisés habló a los jefes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel: Esta es la Palabra que Yavé ordenó:

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.

2 Cuando un hombre haga voto a Yavé, o jure para imponerse una promesa, no quebrantará su palabra. Todo lo que salga de su boca lo cumplirá.

If a man shall vow a vow to the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

3 También, si una mujer hace un voto a Yavé, y se impone una obligación en su juventud mientras está en casa de su padre,

If a woman also shall vow a vow to the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth;

4 y su padre escucha su voto y la obligación que se impuso, y su padre nada le dice, entonces todos los votos de ella y toda promesa que se impuso serán firmes.

And her father shall hear her vow, and her bond by which she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she hath bound her soul shall stand.

5 Pero si su padre se lo prohíbe el día cuando se entera, ninguno de sus votos o promesas que se impuso será firme. Yavé la perdonará por cuanto su padre se opuso.

But if her father shall overrule her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds by which she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father overruled her.

6 Pero si es casada y hace votos, o pronuncia con sus labios cosa con la cual obligue su alma,

And if she had an husband, when she vowed, or uttered any thing from her lips, by which she bound her soul;

7 y su esposo oye, y cuando oye se calla, los votos de ella y la obligación que se impuso serán firmes.

And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds by which she bound her soul shall stand.

8 Pero si el día cuando su esposo la oye, se lo prohíbe, entonces anulará el voto bajo el cual ella está y la declaración imprudente de sus labios con la cual se comprometió, y Yavé la perdonará.

But if her husband overruled her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make of no effect her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, by which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.

9 Pero el voto de una viuda o una repudiada, todo aquello con lo cual se comprometió, será firme para ella.

But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, by which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

10 Sin embargo, si hizo voto cuando estaba en casa de su esposo, y ligó su alma con obligación de juramento,

And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

11 y su esposo oyó, y calló ante ello, y no se lo prohibió, entonces todos sus votos y toda obligación con la cual ligó su alma serán firmes.

And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and overruled her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she bound her soul shall stand.

12 Pero si su esposo en verdad los anula el día cuando los oye, todo lo que salió de sus labios en cuanto a sus votos, o en cuanto a obligarse a ella misma, será nulo. Su esposo los anuló, y Yavé la perdonará.

But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

13 Todo voto y todo juramento que la obligue a humillarse a ella misma, su esposo lo confirmará o anulará.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

14 Pero si su esposo calla ante ello de día en día, entonces confirmó todos sus votos y todas las obligaciones que están sobre ella. Las confirma por cuanto calló ante ello el día cuando lo oyó.

But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

15 Si los anula después de oírlos, entonces él llevará la iniquidad de ella.

But if he shall in any way make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

16 Estos son los Estatutos que Yavé ordenó a Moisés sobre las relaciones entre el esposo y su esposa, y entre el padre y su hija durante la juventud de ésta en casa de su padre.

These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
