Números 30
1 Moisés habló a los jefes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel: Esta es la Palabra que Yavé ordenó:
Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has 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.
When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds 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,
“Also, when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh and binds herself by a pledge, 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 hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound her soul, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she has 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 forbids her in the day that he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. Yahweh will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
6 Pero si es casada y hace votos, o pronuncia con sus labios cosa con la cual obligue su alma,
“If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips with which she has 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 hears it, and says nothing to her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges with which she has 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 forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. Yahweh will forgive her.
9 Pero el voto de una viuda o una repudiada, todo aquello con lo cual se comprometió, será firme para ella.
“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul 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,
“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 didn’t disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with 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 made them null and void in the day that 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 has made them void. Yahweh will 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 says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has established them, because he said nothing to 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 makes them null and void after he has 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 Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
