¹许愿的条例

¹And Moses speaketh unto the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded:

²如果人向耶和华许愿，或是起誓要约束自己，就不可食言，总要照着自己口里所出的一切话行。

²`When a man voweth a vow to Jehovah, or hath sworn an oath to bind a bond on his soul, he doth not pollute his word; according to all that is going out from his mouth he doth.

³女子年幼还在父家的时候，如果向耶和华许愿要约束自己，

³`And when a woman voweth a vow to Jehovah, and hath bound a bond in the house of her father in her youth,

⁴她父亲若是听见她所许的愿和约束自己的话，却对她默不作声，她所许的一切愿和所说约束自己的话，就为有效。

⁴and her father hath heard her vow, and her bond which she hath bound on her soul, and her father hath kept silent at her, then have all her vows been established, and every bond which she hath bound on her soul is established.

⁵但是她父亲听见的时候，如果阻止她，她所许的愿和所说约束自己的话，就都为无效；耶和华也必赦免她，因为她父亲阻止她。

⁵`And if her father hath disallowed her in the day of his hearing, none of her vows and her bonds which she hath bound on her soul is established, and Jehovah is propitious to her, for her father hath disallowed her.

⁶“如果她已嫁了丈夫，她许愿或嘴里说冒失话约束自己的时候，

⁶`And if she be at all to a husband, and her vows [are] on her, or a wrongful utterance [on] her lips, which she hath bound on her soul,

⁷她丈夫听见了，但在听见的时候，默不作声，她所许的愿和约束自己的话，就为有效。

⁷and her husband hath heard, and in the day of his hearing, he hath kept silent at her, then have her vows been established, and her bonds which she hath bound on her soul are established.

⁸但是她丈夫听见的时候，如果阻止她，就算废了她所许的愿和她嘴里所说约束自己的冒失话；耶和华也必赦免她。

⁸`And if in the day of her husband`s hearing he disalloweth her, then he hath broken her vow which [is] on her, and the wrongful utterance of her lips which she hath bound on her soul, and Jehovah is propitious to her.

⁹“寡妇，或是离了婚的妇人所许的愿，就是她所说约束自己的一切话，都为有效。

⁹`As to the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she hath bound on her soul is established on her.

¹⁰如果她在丈夫家里许了愿，或用誓言约束自己，

¹⁰`And if [in] the house of her husband she hath vowed, or hath bound a bond on her soul with an oath,

¹¹她丈夫听见了，却默不作声，也没有阻止她，她所许的愿和所说一切约束自己的话，就为有效。

¹¹and her husband hath heard, and hath kept silent at her — he hath not disallowed her — then have all her vows been established, and every bond which she hath bound on her soul is established.

¹²但是她丈夫听见的时候，如果把这两样都废了，妇人口中所说一切关于许愿的话和约束自己的话，都必无效；她丈夫已经把这两样都废了，耶和华也必赦免她。

¹²`And if her husband doth certainly break them in the day of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established — her husband hath broken them — and Jehovah is propitious to her.

¹³“妇人所许的愿和刻苦约束自己所起的誓，她丈夫都可以确立，也可以废去。

¹³`Every vow and every oath — a bond to humble a soul — her husband doth establish it, or her husband doth break it;

¹⁴如果她丈夫天天向她默不作声，那就算是确立她所许的愿和所说约束自己的一切话；因为丈夫在听见的日子，向她默不作声，就使这两样生效。

¹⁴and if her husband certainly keep silent at her, from day unto day, then he hath established all her vows, or all her bonds which [are] upon her; he hath established them, for he hath kept silent at her in the day of his hearing;

¹⁵但是，如果丈夫听了很久以后，才把这两样完全废去，他就要担当妻子的罪孽。”

¹⁵and if he doth at all break them after his hearing, then he hath borne her iniquity.`

¹⁶以上是耶和华吩咐摩西的条例，是关于丈夫与妻子，父亲与女儿，女儿年幼在父家的时候的条例。

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