Numbers 30

1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.

et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israel: Iste est sermo quem praecepit Dominus:

2 Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth he shall do.

Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit, aut se constrinxerit iuramento: non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne quod promisit, implebit.

3 And if a woman shall vow a vow to the Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father's house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations, wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand,

Mulier si quippiam voverit, et se constrinxerit iuramento, quae est in domo patris sui, et in aetate adhuc puellari: si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est, et iuramentum quo obligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit:

4 and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.

quidquid pollicita est et iuravit, opere complebit.

5 But if her father straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.

sin autem statim ut audierit, contradixerit pater: et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt, nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni, eo quod contradixerit pater.

6 But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, [the obligations] which she has contracted upon her soul;

Si maritum habuerit, et voverit aliquid, et semel de ore eius verbum egrediens animam eius obligaverit iuramento:

7 and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand.

quo die audierit vir, et non contradixerit, voti rea erit, reddetque quodcumque promiserat.

8 But if her husband should straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

sin autem audiens statim contradixerit, et irritas fecerit pollicitationes eius, verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam: propitius erit ei Dominus.

9 And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.

Vidua et repudiata quidquid voverint, reddent.

10 And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,

Uxor in domo viri

11 and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and all the obligations which she contracted against her soul, shall stand against her.

12 But if her husband should utterly cancel the vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations [contracted] upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has cancelled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.

Si voverit, et iuramento se constrinxerit, ut per ieiunium, vel ceterarum rerum abstinentiam affligat animam suam, in arbitrio viri erit ut faciat, sive non faciat.

14 But if he be wholly silent at her from day to day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to her the obligations [which she has bound] upon herself, because he held his peace at her in the day in which he heard her.

quod si audiens vir tacuerit, et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam: quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet: quia statim ut audivit, tacuit.

15 And if her husband should in any wise cancel [them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his iniquity.

sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem eius.

16 These [are] the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and daughter in [her] youth in the house of [her] father.

Istae sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quae in puellari adhuc aetate est, vel quae manet in parentis domo.
