Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And Moses told the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him:
1Narravitque Moyses filiis Israël omnia quæ ei Dominus imperarat.
2And he said to the princes of the tribes of the children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:
2Et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israël: Iste est sermo quem præcepit Dominus:
3If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfill all that he promised.
3Si quis virorum votum Domino voverit, aut se constrinxerit juramento: non faciet irritum verbum suum, sed omne quod promisit, implebit.
4If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father’s house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:
4Mulier si quippiam voverit, et se constrinxerit juramento, quæ est in domo patris sui, et in ætate adhuc puellari: si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est, et juramentum quo obligavit animam suam, et tacuerit, voti rea erit:
5Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfill in deed.
5quidquid pollicita est, et juravit, opere complebit.
6But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.
6Sin autem statim ut audierit, contradixerit pater: et vota et juramenta ejus irrita erunt, nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni, eo quod contradixerit pater.
7If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:
7Si maritum habuerit, et voverit aliquid, et semel de ore ejus verbum egrediens animam ejus obligaverit juramento:
8The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised.
8quo die audierit vir, et non contradixerit, voti rea erit, reddetque quodcumque promiserat.
9But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect: the Lord will forgive her.
9Sin autem audiens statim contradixerit, et irritas fecerit pollicitationes ejus, verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam, propitius erit ei Dominus.
10The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfill whatsoever they vow.
10Vidua et repudiata quidquid voverint, reddent.
11If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath,
11Uxor in domo viri cum se voto constrinxerit et juramento,
12If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.
12si audierit vir, et tacuerit, nec contradixerit sponsioni, reddet quodcumque promiserat.
13But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be merciful to her.
13Sin autem extemplo contradixerit, non tenebitur promissionis rea: quia maritus contradixit, et Dominus ei propitius erit.
14If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.
14Si voverit, et juramento se constrinxerit, ut per jejunium, vel ceterarum rerum abstinentiam affligat animam suam, in arbitrio viri erit ut faciat, sive non faciat.
15But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and promised, she shall fulfill: because immediately as he heard it, he held his peace.
15Quod si audiens vir tacuerit, et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam, quidquid voverat atque promiserat, reddet: quia statim ut audivit, tacuit.
16But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.
16Sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit, portabit ipse iniquitatem ejus.
17These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father’s house.
17Istæ sunt leges, quas constituit Dominus Moysi inter virum et uxorem, inter patrem et filiam, quæ in puellari adhuc ætate est, vel quæ manet in parentis domo.
