Numeri 30

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Narravitque Moyses filiis Israel omnia, quae ei Dominus imperarat,	1 Moses then gave the Israelites these instructions, just as the LORD had ordered him.
2 et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israel: “ Iste est sermo, quem praecepit Dominus:	2 Moses said to the heads of the Israelite tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded:
3 Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit aut se constrinxerit iuramento, non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne, quod promisit, implebit.	3 When a man makes a vow to the LORD or binds himself under oath to a pledge of abstinence, he shall not violate his word, but must fulfill exactly the promise he has uttered.
4 Mulier, si quippiam voverit Domino aut se constrinxerit iuramento, quae est in domo patris sui et in aetate adhuc puellari,	4 "When a woman, while still a maiden in her father's house, makes a vow to the LORD, or binds herself to a pledge,
5 si cognoverit pater votum, quod pollicita est, aut iuramentum, quo ligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit; quidquid pollicita est aut iuravit, opere complebit.	5 if her father learns of her vow or the pledge to which she bound herself and says nothing to her about it, then any vow or any pledge she has made remains valid.
6 Sin autem, quo die audierit contradixerit pater, et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt; et propitius erit ei Dominus, eo quod contradixerit pater.	6 But if on the day he learns of it her father expresses to her his disapproval, then any vow or any pledge she has made becomes null and void; and the LORD releases her from it, since her father has expressed to her his disapproval.
7 Si maritum habuerit et voverit aliquid, aut semel de ore eius verbum egrediens animam eius ligaverit iuramento,	7 "If she marries while under a vow or under a rash pledge to which she bound herself,
8 quo die audierit vir eius et non contradixerit, voti rea erit reddetque, quodcumque promiserat.	8 and her husband learns of it, yet says nothing to her that day about it, then the vow or pledge she had made remains valid.
9 Sin autem, quo die audierit contradixerit, irritas facit pollicitationes eius verbaque, quibus obstrinxerat animam suam; et propitius erit ei Dominus.	9 But if on the day he learns of it her husband expresses to her his disapproval, he thereby annuls the vow she had made or the rash pledge to which she had bound herself, and the LORD releases her from it.
10 Vidua et repudiata, quidquid voverint, reddent.	10 The vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, or any pledge to which such a woman binds herself, is valid.
11 Uxor in domo viri cum se voto constrinxerit aut iuramento,	11 "If it is in her husband's house that she makes a vow or binds herself under oath to a pledge,
12 si audierit vir et tacuerit nec contradixerit sponsioni, reddet, quodcumque promiserat.	12 and her husband learns of it yet says nothing to express to her his disapproval, then any vow or any pledge she has made remains valid.
13 Sin autem extemplo contradixerit, non tenebitur promissionis rea, quia maritus contradixit, et Dominus ei propitius erit.	13 But if on the day he learns of them her husband annuls them, then whatever she has expressly promised in her vow or in her pledge becomes null and void; since her husband has annulled them, the LORD releases her from them.
14 Si voverit aut iuramento se constrinxerit, ut per ieiunium affligat animam suam, in arbitrio viri erit, ut faciat sive non faciat.	14 "Any vow or any pledge that she makes under oath to mortify herself, her husband can either allow to remain valid or render null and void.
15 Quod si audiens vir tacuerit et de die in diem distulerit sententiam, quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet, quia, quo die audierat, tacuit.	15 But if her husband, day after day, says nothing at all to her about them, he thereby allows as valid any vow or any pledge she has made; he has allowed them to remain valid, because on the day he learned of them he said nothing to her about them.
16 Sin autem contradixerit, postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem eius ”.	16 If, however, he countermands them some time after he first learned of them, he is responsible for her guilt."
17 Istae sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quae in puellari adhuc aetate manet in parentis domo.	17 These are the statutes which the LORD prescribed through Moses concerning the relationship between a husband and his wife, as well as between a father and his daughter while she is still a maiden in her father's house.
