Vows
In Hebrew texts 30:1-16 is numbered 30:2-17. 1Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the Lord commands: 2When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
3“When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge 4and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand. 5But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.
6“If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself 7and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 8But if her husband forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the Lord will release her.
9“Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.
10“If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath 11and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 12But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.30:13 Or to fast 14But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.”
16These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home.
Ang Kautusan tungkol sa Panata
1Sinabi ni Moises sa mga pinuno ng lahi ng Israel, “Ito ang mga utos ng Panginoon: 2Kung ang isang lalaki ay gagawa ng panata o susumpa sa Panginoon na gagawin niya o hindi ang isang bagay, kailangang tuparin niyang lahat ang kanyang sinabi. 3Kung ang isang dalaga na naninirahan pa sa bahay ng kanyang ama ay gumawa ng panata o nanumpa sa Panginoon na gagawin niya o hindi ang isang bagay, 4at nalaman ito ng kanyang ama pero hindi naman ito tumutol, kailangang tuparin niya ito. 5Pero kung tumutol ang kanyang ama nang malaman ito, hindi na niya ito kailangang tuparin. Patatawarin siya ng Panginoon dahil tumutol ang kanyang ama.
6“Kung ang isang dalaga ay manumpa o gumawa ng panata na gagawin niya o hindi ang isang bagay, pagkatapos nag-asawa siya, kahit na pabigla-bigla man o hindi ang kanyang pangako, 7at nalaman ito ng kanyang asawa pero hindi naman ito tumutol, kailangang gawin niya ang kanyang ipinangako. 8Pero kung tumutol ang kanyang asawa nang malaman ito, hindi na niya ito kailangang tuparin, at wala na siyang pananagutan sa Panginoon.
9“Pero kung ang isang biyuda o babaeng hiniwalayan ng asawa ay gumawa ng panata o nanumpa na gagawin niya o hindi ang isang bagay, kailangang tuparin niya ito.
10“At kung ang isang babaeng may asawa ay gumawa ng panata o nanumpa na gagawin niya o hindi ang isang bagay, 11at nalaman ito ng kanyang asawa pero tumahimik lang ito at hindi tumutol, kailangang tuparin niya ito. 12Pero kung tumutol ang kanyang asawa nang malaman ito, hindi na niya ito kailangang tuparin. Patatawarin siya ng Panginoon dahil tumutol ang kanyang asawa. 13May karapatang pumayag o tumutol ang kanyang asawa sa kahit anong ginawa niyang sumpa o panata. 14Pero kung hindi tumutol ang kanyang asawa sa mismong araw na nalaman niya ito, pumapayag ang kanyang asawa na tuparin niya ito. 15Pero kung pinalipas pa ng kanyang asawa ang ilang araw bago pa tumutol, ang kanyang asawa ang parurusahan sa kanyang kasalanan.”
16Iyon ang mga kautusan na ibinigay ng Panginoon kay Moises tungkol sa lalaki at sa kanyang asawa, at tungkol sa ama at sa kanyang anak na dalagitang nakatira sa kanyang bahay.
