1 و َقالَ مُوسَى لِرُؤَساءِ قَبائِلِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ: «هَذا هُوَ ما أمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ:

¶ And Moses spoke unto the princes of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.

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

When a man vows a vow unto the LORD or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not defile his word: he shall do according to all that proceeded out of his mouth.

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

¶ But the woman, when she shall vow a vow unto the LORD and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth,

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

and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father shall remain silent regarding it, then all her promises shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

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

But if her father disallows her in the day that he hears all of her vows and of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, they shall not stand, and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

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

But if she had at all a husband when she vowed or pronounced anything out of her lips, with which she bound her soul,

7 و َسَمِعَ زَوجُها وَلَمْ يَعتَرِضْ عِندَما سَمِعَها، فَعَلَيها الوَفاءُ بِنُذُورِها وَالالتِزامُ بِما تَعَهَّدَتْ بِهِ.

if her husband heard it and remained silent regarding it in the day that he heard it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand.

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

But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it, then her vow which she vowed and that which she pronounced with her lips, with which she bound her soul, shall be of no effect, and the LORD shall forgive her.

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

But every vow of a widow and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, shall stand.

10 ل َكِنْ إنْ تَعَهَّدَتِ امْرأةٌ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِالقِيامِ بِأمرٍ مُعَيَّنٍ،

And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

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

if her husband heard it and remained silent regarding it and did not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

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

But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day 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 the LORD shall forgive her.

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

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

14 ف َإنْ 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.

But if her husband remained silent regarding this from day to day; then he establishes all her vows or all her bonds, which are upon her; he confirms them because he remained silent regarding this in the day that he heard them.

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

But if he shall in any way make them void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

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

These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses between a man and his wife and between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
