1 T hen Moses said to the heads of the families of the sons of Israel, “This is what the Lord has said.

Y habló Moisés á los príncipes de las tribus de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Esto es lo que Jehová ha mandado.

2 I f a man makes a promise to the Lord, or swears that he will keep his promise, he must not break his word. He must do all that he said he would do.

Cuando alguno hiciere voto á Jehová, ó hiciere juramento ligando su alma con obligación, no violará su palabra: hará conforme á todo lo que salió de su boca.

3 I f a woman makes a promise to the Lord, and swears to keep her promise in her father’s house when she is young,

Mas la mujer, cuando hiciere voto á Jehová, y se ligare con obligación en casa de su padre, en su mocedad;

4 a nd if her father hears her promise and how she has sworn to keep it, and says nothing to her, then all her promises must be kept. She must keep every promise she has sworn to keep.

Si su padre oyere su voto, y la obligación con que ligó su alma, y su padre callare á ello, todos los votos de ella serán firmes, y toda obligación con que hubiere ligado su alma, firme será.

5 B ut if her father does not allow her to keep her promise on the day he hears of it, then she does not need to keep any of the promises she has sworn to keep. The Lord will forgive her because her father would not allow it.

Mas si su padre le vedare el día que oyere todos sus votos y sus obligaciones, con que ella hubiere ligado su alma, no serán firmes; y Jehová la perdonará, por cuanto su padre le vedó.

6 “ If she gets married and has promises to keep because of what she swore without thinking,

Empero si fuére casada, é hiciere votos, o pronunciare de sus labios cosa con que obligue su alma;

7 a nd if her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears, then she must keep the promises she has sworn to keep.

Si su marido lo oyere, y cuando lo oyere callare á ello, los votos de ella serán firmes, y la obligación con que ligó su alma, firme será.

8 B ut if on the day he hears of it, her husband does not allow her to keep her promise, then she will not have to keep the promise that she had sworn to keep when she was not thinking. The Lord will forgive her.

Pero si cuando su marido lo oyó, le vedó, entonces el voto que ella hizo, y lo que pronunció de sus labios con que ligó su alma, será nulo; y Jehová lo perdonará.

9 “ A woman whose husband has died or left her must keep the promises she has sworn to keep.

Mas todo voto de viuda, ó repudiada, con que ligare su alma, será firme.

10 B ut if she has made a promise in her husband’s house, and she has sworn to keep a promise there

Y si hubiere hecho voto en casa de su marido, y hubiere ligado su alma con obligación de juramento,

11 a nd if her husband hears of it, and does not go against her or say anything to her, then she must keep all the promises she had sworn to keep.

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

12 B ut if her husband does not allow her to keep her promises on the day he hears of them, then she does not have to keep the promises she had sworn to keep. If her husband will not let her keep them, the Lord will forgive her.

Mas si su marido los anuló el día que los oyó; todo lo que salió de sus labios cuanto á sus votos, y cuanto á la obligación de su alma, será nulo; su marido los anuló, y Jehová la perdonará.

13 “ Her husband has the right to have her keep, or not keep, any promise she has sworn to keep.

Todo voto, ó todo juramento obligándose á afligir el alma, su marido lo confirmará, ó su marido lo anulará.

14 B ut if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then she must keep all her promises. He made her promises so they could not be changed, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard of them.

Empero si su marido callare á ello de día en día, entonces confirmó todos sus votos, y todas las obligaciones que están sobre ella: confirmólas, por cuanto calló á ello el día que lo oyó.

15 B ut if he will not allow her to keep her promises after he has heard of them, then her guilt will be on him.”

Mas si las anulare después de haberlas oido, entonces él llevará el pecado de ella.

16 T hese are the Laws which the Lord told Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, while she is young and in her father’s house.

Estas son las ordenanzas que Jehová mandó á Moisés entre el varón y su mujer, entre el padre y su hija, durante su mocedad en casa de su padre.
