1 ¶ Y habló Moisés a los príncipes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Esto es lo que el SEÑOR ha mandado.

Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:

2 C uando alguno hiciere voto al SEÑOR, o hiciere juramento ligando su alma con obligación, no contaminará su palabra; hará conforme a todo lo que salió de su boca.

If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 ¶ Mas la mujer, cuando hiciere voto al SEÑOR, y se ligare con obligación estando en casa de su padre, en su juventud;

“Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,

4 s i su padre oyere su promesa, y la obligación con que ligó su alma, y su padre callare a ello, todas las promesas de ella serán firmes, y toda obligación con que hubiere ligado su alma, será firme.

and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she has bound herself, and her father holds his peace, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound herself shall stand.

5 M as si su padre le vedare el día que oyere todos sus votos y sus ataduras, con que ella hubiere ligado su alma, no serán firmes; y el SEÑOR la perdonará, por cuanto su padre la vedó.

But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will release her, because her father overruled her.

6 P ero si tuviere esposo, e hiciere votos, o pronunciare de sus labios cosa con que obligue su alma;

“If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself,

7 s i su marido lo oyere, y cuando lo oyere callare a ello, los votos de ella serán firmes, y la atadura con que ligó su alma, será firme.

and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand.

8 M as si cuando su marido lo oyó, la vedó, entonces el voto que ella hizo, y lo que pronunció de sus labios con que ligó su alma, será nulo; y el SEÑOR la perdonará.

But if her husband overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she took and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the Lord will release her.

9 P ero todo voto de viuda, o repudiada, con que ligare su alma, será firme.

“Also any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.

10 M as si hizo voto en casa de su marido, y ligó su alma con obligación de juramento,

“If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath,

11 s i su marido oyó, y calló a ello, y no le vedó; entonces todos sus votos serán firmes, y toda obligación con que hubiere ligado su alma, será firme.

and her husband heard it, and made no response to her and did not overrule her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself shall stand.

12 M as si su marido los anuló el día que los oyó; todo lo que salió de sus labios en cuanto a sus votos, y en cuanto a la obligación de su alma, será nulo; su marido los anuló, y el SEÑOR la perdonará.

But if her husband truly made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it shall not stand; her husband has made them void, and the Lord will release her.

13 T odo voto, o todo juramento de afligir el alma, su marido lo confirmará, o su marido lo anulará.

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

14 P ero si su marido callare a ello de día en día, entonces confirmó todos sus votos, y todas las obligaciones que están sobre ella; las confirmó por cuanto calló a ello el día que lo oyó.

Now if her husband makes no response whatever to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her; he confirms them, because he made no response to her on the day that he heard them.

15 M as si los anulare después de haberlos oído, entonces él llevará la iniquidad de ella.

But if he does make them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.”

16 E stas son las ordenanzas que el SEÑOR mandó a Moisés entre el varón y su mujer, entre el padre y su hija, durante su juventud en casa de su padre.

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