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

¹许愿的条例

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.

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。

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,

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，

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.

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。

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.

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。

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,

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，

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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

¹⁰如果她在丈夫家里许了愿，或用誓言约束自己，

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.

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。

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.

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。

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

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。

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.

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。

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

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。”

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.

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。
