1 A nd Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded.

وَقالَ مُوسَى لِرُؤَساءِ قَبائِلِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ: «هَذا هُوَ ما أمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ:

2 W hen a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth 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.

إذا تَعَهَّدَ رَجُلٌ بِنَذْرٍ للهِ ، أوْ أقسَمَ فَألْزَمَ نَفْسَهُ بِأمرٍ ما، فَلا يَكْسِرْ كَلامَهُ، بَلْ لِيَفْعَلْ ما نَطَقَ بِهِ.

3 A lso when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,

«لَكِنْ إنْ تَعَهَّدَتِ امْرأةٌ بِنَذْرٍ للهِ ، أوْ ألْزَمَتْ نَفْسَها بِامْرٍ وَهِيَ ما تَزالُ تَسكُنُ بَيْتَ أبِيها لأنَّها صَغِيرَةٌ،

4 a nd her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

وَسَمِعَ أبوها نَذْرَها وَما ألْزَمَتْ نَفسَها بِهِ، وَلَمْ يَعتَرِضْ، تَبْقى جَمِيعُ نُذُورِها وَالتِزاماتِها الَّتِي ألْزَمَتْ نَفْسَها بِها ثَابِتَةً.

5 B ut if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

فَإنْ نَهاها أبوها يَومَ سَمِعَ تَعَهُّداتِها، تَسْقُطُ عَنْها جَمِيعُ نُذُورِها وَالتِزاماتِها الَّتِي ألْزَمَتْ نَفْسَها بِها، وَاللهُ سَيَغفِرُ لَها، لأنَّ أباها نَهاها عَنْ ذَلِكَ.

6 A nd if she be married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul,

«لَكِنْ إنْ تَزَوَّجَتْ بَعدَ أنْ نَذَرَتْ نِذراً أو تَعَهَّدَتْ بِأمرٍ مُعَيَّنٍ،

7 a nd her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

وَسَمِعَ زَوجُها وَلَمْ يَعتَرِضْ عِندَما سَمِعَها، فَعَلَيها الوَفاءُ بِنُذُورِها وَالالتِزامُ بِما تَعَهَّدَتْ بِهِ.

8 B ut if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her.

فَإنْ عَبَّرَ زَوجُها عَنْ عَدَمِ مُوافَقَتِهِ حِينَ سَمِعَ كَلامَها، فَعَلَيها أنْ تُلغِي نِذرَها الَّذِي التَزَمَتْ بِهِ، وَتَعَهُّدَها الَّذِي نَطَقَتْ بِهِ، وَاللهُ سَيَغفِرُ لَها.

9 B ut the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, even everything wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her.

«كُلُّ نَذْرٍ تَتَعَهَّدُ بِهِ أرمَلَةٌ أوْ مُطَلَّقَةٌ عَلَى نَفسِها، يَنْبَغِي الوَفاءُ بِهِ.

10 A nd if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

لَكِنْ إنْ تَعَهَّدَتِ امْرأةٌ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِالقِيامِ بِأمرٍ مُعَيَّنٍ،

11 a nd 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.

وَسَمِعَ زَوجُها عَنِ الأمرِ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيئاً لَها وَلَمْ يَمنَعْها عَنِ الوَفاءِ بِهِ، فَإنَّها تَكُونُ مُلزَمَةً بِالوَفاءِ بِكُلِّ تَعَهُّداتِها.

12 B ut if her husband made them null and void in the day that 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 Jehovah will forgive her.

لَكِنْ إنْ ألغَى زَوجُها تَعَهُّداتِها حِينَ سَمِعَ بِها، فَإنَّها لا تَكُونُ مُطالَبَةً بِالوَفاءِ بِها، إذْ إنَّ زَوجَها ألغَى تَعَهُّداتِها وَاللهُ سَيَغفِرُ لَها.

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

«وَإذا نَذَرَتِ امْرأةٌ نَذْراَ أوْ تَعَهَّدَت بِالامْتِناعِ عَنْ شَيءٍ، يُمكِنُ لِزَوجِها أنْ يَسمَحَ لَها بِالوَفاءِ بِما تَعَهَّدَتْ بِهِ، أوْ يُمكِنُهُ إلغاؤُهُ.

14 B ut 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 hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

فَإنْ لَمْ يَقُلْ زَوجُها شَيئاً حَتَّى اليَومِ التّالِي، فَهُوَ قَدْ أيَّدَ نُذُورَها أوَ تَعَهُّداتِها الَّتِي التَزَمَتْ بِها. فَهُوَ قَدْ وافَقَ بِصَمتِهِ وَعَدَمِ اعتِراضِهِ بَعَدَ أنْ سَمِعَ.

15 B ut if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

لَكِنْ إنْ ألغَى زَوجُها كُلَّ تَعَهُّداتِها بَعدَ سَماعِهِ بِها، هُوَ مَنْ يَتَحَمَّلُ جَزاءَ ذَنبِها.»

16 T hese are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

هَذِهِ هِيَ القَواعِدُ الَّتِي أعطاها اللهُ لِمُوسَى بِشَأنِ عَلاقَةِ الزَّوجِ بِزَوجَتِهِ، وَالأبِ بابْنَتِهِ السّاكِنَةِ فِي بَيتِهِ قَبلَ زَواجِها.
