1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 2 If a man vow a vow unto 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 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth; 4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; 7 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 wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; 11 And her husband heard it , and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever 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 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But if her husband altogether hold 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 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 16 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.
1 فأخبَرَ موسى بَني إِسرائيلَ بجميعِ ما أمرَهُ الرّبُّ.
فرائض النذور
2 وقالَ موسى لرُؤساءِ أسباطِ بَني إِسرائيلَ: «هذا ما أمرَ الرّبُّ بهِ: 3 أيُّ رَجُلٍ نَذَرَ نَذرا للرّبِّ، أو حلَفَ يَمينا فألزَمَ نفْسَهُ شيئا، فلا يرجعُ عَنهُ بل يعمَلُ بكُلِّ ما نطَقَ بهِ. 4 وأيَّةُ امرأةٍ نذَرَت نَذرا للرّبِّ وألزَمَت نَفسَها شيئا، وهيَ صَبِيَّةٌ في بَيتِ أبـيها، 5 فسَمِعَ أبوها نَذرَها وما ألزَمَت نفْسَها بهِ وسَكَتَ لها، ثبَتَت جميعُ نُذورِها وكُلُّ ما ألزَمَت نَفسَها بهِ. 6 وإنْ نَهاها أبوها عندَ سَماعِهِ ذلِكَ، فَكُلُّ نُذورِها وإلزاماتِها لا تَثبُتُ، والرّبُّ يُسامِحُها إذا نَهاها أبوها. 7 وإنْ تَزَوَّجَت وهيَ مُرتَبِطَةٌ بنَذرٍ، أو بِقَولٍ ألزَمَت بهِ نفْسَها، 8 فسَمِع زَوجُها ذلِكَ وسكَتَ لها عندَ سَماعِهِ بهِ، ثَبَتَت نُذورُها وإلزاماتُها. 9 وإنْ نَهاها فُسِخَ نَذرُها وقولُها الّذي ألزَمَت بهِ نفْسَها، والرّبُّ يُسامِحُها. 10 ونَذرُ الأرمَلَةِ والمُطَلَّقَةِ وإلزاماتُهما ثابِتٌ علَيهما. 11 وإنْ نَذَرَتِ المرأةُ نَذرا، أو ألزَمَت نفْسَها بـيَمينٍ في بَيتِ زَوجِها، 12 فسَمِعَ زَوجُها، وسكَتَ لها ولم يَنهَها، ثبَتَت نُذورُها وإلزاماتُها. 13 وإنْ فَسَخَ ذلِكَ زَوجُها، في يومِ سَماعِهِ بهِ، فَكُلُّ نُذورِها وإلزاماتِها غيرُ ثابِتٍ لأنَّ زَوجَها فسَخَهُ، والرّبُّ يُسامِحُها. 14 كُلُّ نَذرٍ تَنذُرُهُ، وكُلُّ يَمينٍ تُلزِمُ قَهْرَ النَّفْسِ، فَزَوجُها يُثْبِتُه وزَوجُها يَفسَخُهُ. 15 وإنْ سكَتَ لها زَوجُها، مِنْ يومٍ إلى يومٍ، أثبَتَ جميعَ نُذورِها وإلزاماتِها الّتي علَيها لأنَّه سكَتَ لها عندَ سَماعِهِ بِها. 16 فإنْ فَسَخَ ذلِكَ، بَعدَما سَمِعَ بهِ، فهوَ يتحَمَّلُ عاقِبةَ رُجوعِ زَوجَتِهِ عَنْ نُذورِها وإلزاماتِها».
17 تلكَ هي الفَرائِضُ الّتي أمرَ الرّبُّ بِها موسى، فيما بـينَ الرَّجُلِ وزَوجَتِه، وفيما بـينَ الأبِ وابْنَتِه وهيَ صَبـيَّةٌ في بَيتِ أبـيها.
