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

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

2 W hen 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.

Cuando 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.

3 ¶ 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,

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

4 a nd 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.

si 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.

5 B ut 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.

Mas 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.

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

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

7 i f 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.

si 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.

8 B ut 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.

Mas 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.

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

Pero todo voto de viuda, o repudiada, con que ligare su alma, será firme.

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

Mas si hizo voto en casa de su marido, y ligó su alma con obligación de juramento,

11 i f 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.

si 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.

12 B ut 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.

Mas 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.

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

Todo voto, o todo juramento de afligir el alma, su marido lo confirmará, o su marido lo anulará.

14 B ut 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.

Pero 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.

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

Mas si los anulare después de haberlos oído, entonces él llevará la iniquidad de ella.

16 T hese 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.

Estas 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.
