اَلْعَدَد 30

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى رُؤُوسَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ:

And he said to the princes of the tribes of the children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:

٢ 2 إِذَا نَذَرَ رَجُلٌ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ، أَوْ أَقْسَمَ قَسَمًا أَنْ يُلْزِمَ نَفْسَهُ بِلَازِمٍ، فَلَا يَنْقُضْ كَلَامَهُ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ فَمِهِ يَفْعَلُ.

If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfill all that he promised.

٣ 3 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ فَإِذَا نَذَرَتْ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ وَٱلْتَزَمَتْ بِلَازِمٍ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا فِي صِبَاهَا،

If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father’s house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:

٤ 4 وَسَمِعَ أَبُوهَا نَذْرَهَا وَٱللَّازِمَ ٱلَّذِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهِ، فَإِنْ سَكَتَ أَبُوهَا لَهَا، ثَبَتَتْ كُلُّ نُذُورِهَا. وَكُلُّ لَوَازِمِهَا ٱلَّتِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهَا تَثْبُتُ.

Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfill in deed.

٥ 5 وَإِنْ نَهَاهَا أَبُوهَا يَوْمَ سَمْعِهِ، فَكُلُّ نُذُورِهَا وَلَوَازِمِهَا ٱلَّتِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهَا لَا تَثْبُتُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَصْفَحُ عَنْهَا لِأَنَّ أَبَاهَا قَدْ نَهَاهَا.

But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.

٦ 6 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِزَوْجٍ وَنُذُورُهَا عَلَيْهَا أَوْ نُطْقُ شَفَتَيْهَا ٱلَّذِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهِ،

If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:

٧ 7 وَسَمِعَ زَوْجُهَا، فَإِنْ سَكَتَ فِي يَوْمِ سَمْعِهِ ثَبَتَتْ نُذُورُهَا. وَلَوَازِمُهَا ٱلَّتِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهَا تَثْبُتُ.

The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised.

٨ 8 وَإِنْ نَهَاهَا رَجُلُهَا فِي يَوْمِ سَمْعِهِ، فَسَخَ نَذْرَهَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهَا وَنُطْقَ شَفَتَيْهَا ٱلَّذِي أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهِ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَصْفَحُ عَنْهَا.

But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect: the Lord will forgive her.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا نَذْرُ أَرْمَلَةٍ أَوْ مُطَلَّقَةٍ، فَكُلُّ مَا أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهِ يَثْبُتُ عَلَيْهَا.

The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfill whatsoever they vow.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ نَذَرَتْ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا أَوْ أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِلَازِمٍ بِقَسَمٍ،

If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath,

١١ 11 وَسَمِعَ زَوْجُهَا، فَإِنْ سَكَتَ لَهَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَهَا ثَبَتَتْ كُلُّ نُذُورِهَا. وَكُلُّ لَازِمٍ أَلْزَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا بِهِ يَثْبُتُ.

If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.

١٢ 12 وَإِنْ فَسَخَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي يَوْمِ سَمْعِهِ، فَكُلُّ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيْهَا مِنْ نُذُورِهَا أَوْ لَوَازِمِ نَفْسِهَا لَا يَثْبُتُ. قَدْ فَسَخَهَا زَوْجُهَا. وَٱلرَّبُّ يَصْفَحُ عَنْهَا.

But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be merciful to her.

١٣ 13 كُلُّ نَذْرٍ وَكُلُّ قَسَمِ ٱلْتِزَامٍ لِإِذْلَالِ ٱلنَّفْسِ، زَوْجُهَا يُثْبِتُهُ وَزَوْجُهَا يَفْسَخُهُ.

If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.

١٤ 14 وَإِنْ سَكَتَ لَهَا زَوْجُهَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمٍ فَقَدْ أَثْبَتَ كُلَّ نُذُورِهَا أَوْ كُلَّ لَوَازِمِهَا ٱلَّتِي عَلَيْهَا. أَثْبَتَهَا لِأَنَّهُ سَكَتَ لَهَا فِي يَوْمِ سَمْعِهِ.

But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and promised, she shall fulfill: because immediately as he heard it, he held his peace.

١٥ 15 فَإِنْ فَسَخَهَا بَعْدَ سَمْعِهِ فَقَدْ حَمَلَ ذَنْبَهَا».

But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.

١٦ 16 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْفَرَائِضُ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى، بَيْنَ ٱلزَّوْجِ وَزَوْجَتِهِ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْأَبِ وَٱبْنَتِهِ فِي صِبَاهَا فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا.

These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father’s house.
