¹許願的條例摩西告訴以色列人眾支派的領袖：“這是耶和華吩咐的話：（本節在《馬索拉抄本》為30:2）

¹Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.

²如果人向耶和華許願，或是起誓要約束自己，就不可食言，總要照著自己口裡所出的一切話行。

²When 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女子年幼還在父家的時候，如果向耶和華許願要約束自己，

³“Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,

⁴她父親若是聽見她所許的願和約束自己的話，卻對她默不作聲，她所許的一切願和所說約束自己的話，就為有效。

⁴and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁵但是她父親聽見的時候，如果阻止她，她所許的願和所說約束自己的話，就都為無效；耶和華也必赦免她，因為她父親阻止她。

⁵But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

⁶“如果她已嫁了丈夫，她許願或嘴裡說冒失話約束自己的時候，

⁶“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她丈夫聽見了，但在聽見的時候，默不作聲，她所許的願和約束自己的話，就為有效。

⁷and her husband hears it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁸但是她丈夫聽見的時候，如果阻止她，就算廢了她所許的願和她嘴裡所說約束自己的冒失話；耶和華也必赦免她。

⁸But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her.

⁹“寡婦，或是離了婚的婦人所許的願，就是她所說約束自己的一切話，都為有效。

⁹“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如果她在丈夫家裡許了願，或用誓言約束自己，

¹⁰“If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

¹¹她丈夫聽見了，卻默不作聲，也沒有阻止她，她所許的願和所說一切約束自己的話，就為有效。

¹¹and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn’t disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

¹²但是她丈夫聽見的時候，如果把這兩樣都廢了，婦人口中所說一切關於許願的話和約束自己的話，都必無效；她丈夫已經把這兩樣都廢了，耶和華也必赦免她。

¹²But 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; and Yahweh will forgive her.

¹³“婦人所許的願和刻苦約束自己所起的誓，她丈夫都可以確立，也可以廢去。

¹³Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

¹⁴如果她丈夫天天向她默不作聲，那就算是確立她所許的願和所說約束自己的一切話；因為丈夫在聽見的日子，向她默不作聲，就使這兩樣生效。

¹⁴But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

¹⁵但是，如果丈夫聽了很久以後，才把這兩樣完全廢去，他就要擔當妻子的罪孽。”

¹⁵But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”

¹⁶以上是耶和華吩咐摩西的條例，是關於丈夫與妻子，父親與女兒，女兒年幼在父家的時候的條例。

¹⁶These 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.
