3. 3

   גְבַר בַּר תְּלֵיסַר שְׁנִין אֲרוּם יִדַר נִדְרָא קֳדָם יְיָ אוֹ יְקַיֵים קְיַים לְמֵיסַר אִיסַר מִמַדַעַם דְהֶתֵּירָא עַל נַפְשֵׁיהּ לָא יָפִיס פִּתְגָמֵיהּ בְּרַם בֵּית דִינָא שָׁרַן לֵיהּ וְאִין לָא שָׁרוּ לֵיהּ כְּכָל מַה דְיִפּוֹק מִפּוּמֵיהּ יַעֲבֵיד

   A man, a son of thirteen when he shall have vowed a vow before the Lord, or have sworn an oath, saying, I will withhold from such a thing which is permitted to me, shall not be allowed to relax his word (at his own will): nevertheless, the house of judgment (beth dina) can absolve him; but if they absolve him not, whatsoever hath gone out of his mouth he shall perform.

4. 4

   וְאִתְּתָא דְלָא עָבְרַת תְּרֵיסַר שְׁנִין אֲרוּם תִּידַר נְדַר קֳדָם יְיָ וְתֵיסַר אִיסַר בְּבֵית אִיבָהָא עַד תְּרֵיסַר שְׁנִין

   and her father hear her vow, and whatever bond she hath bound upon her soul, and her father be acquiescent, and speak not to her; then every vow and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul shall be confirmed.

6. 6

   וְאִין יִבְטַל אִיבָהָא יָתָהּ בְּיוֹמָא דְשָׁמַע אוֹ לָא אִתְכַּוֵון לְקַיְימָא וּבַטֵיל בָּתַר דְיִשְׁמַע כָּל נִדְרָהָא וְאֵיסָרָא דְאַסָרַת עַל נַפְשָׁהּ לָא יִתְקַיְימוּן וּמִן קֳדָם יְיָ יִשְׁתְּרֵי וְיִשְׁתְּבֵק לָהּ אֲרוּם בָּטֵיל אָבוּהָא יָתָהּ מִן רְשׁוּתָא דְנִדְרָא

   But if her father prohibit her on the day that he heareth, or, not being prepared to confirm, annulleth after he hath heard, (then) no vow or bond that she hath bound upon her soul shall be confirmed; but is remitted and forgiven her before the Lord, because her father hath made her free from the authority of the vow, (or, nullified to her the power of the vow.)

7. 7

   וְאִין אִתְנַסְבָא אִתְנְסִיבַת לִגְבַר וְנִדְרָהָא עֲלָהּ אוֹ פֵּירוּשֵׁי סִיפְתָהָא דְאָסְרַת עַל נַפְשָׁהּ בְּבֵית אִיבָהָא וְלָא בְטִיל אִיבָהָא עַד לָא אִתְנְסִיבַת וּמִדְאִתְנְסִיבַת לִגְבַר יִתְקַיְימוּן

   And if when she hath been taken by a husband a vow be upon her, or her lips have expressed that which is binding upon her soul while in her father's house, and her father had not absolved her while unmarried, then, when she hath been married, it shall be confirmed.

8. 8

   וְאִין בָּתַר דְאִתְנְסִיבַת נְדָרַת וְיִשְׁמַע בַּעֲלָהּ וּבְיוֹמָא דְשָׁמַע יִתְכַּוֵון לְקַיְימוּתְהוֹן וְיִשְׁתּוֹק לָהּ וְיִתְקַיְימוּן נִדְרָהָא וְאִיסְרָהָא דְאַסָרַת עַל נַפְשָׁהּ יִתְקַיְימוּן

   But if after she is married she make a vow, and her husband hear it, and on the day that he heareth it he is minded to confirm it, and is silent to her, then the vow and the bond which she hath bound upon her soul shall be ratified.

    Yet the vow of a widow, or a divorced, whatever hath bound her soul, shall be confirmed upon her.

11. 11

    וְאִין עַד דְהִיא בְּבֵית בַּעֲלָהּ וְלָא בָּגְרַת נָדְרַת אוֹ אָסְרַת אִסַר עַל נַפְשָׁהּ בְּקִיוּמָא

    But if, while she was in her husband's house, or while she had not attained to marriage years, she had vowed, or bound her soul with the bond of an oath

12. 12

    וְיִשְׁמַע בַּעֲלָהּ וְיִשְׁתּוֹק לָהּ וְלָא בָטִיל יָתָהּ וּמִית עַד דְלָא בָּגְרַת וְיִתְקַיְימוּן כָּל נִדְרָהָא וְכָל אִיסְרֵי דַאֲסָרַת עַל נַפְשָׁהּ יִתְקַיְימוּן וְלֵית אִיבָהָא זָכֵי בָהּ תּוּב לְבַטְלוּתְהוֹן

    which her husband had heard of, and had neither spoken nor prohibited her, or had died before she was married, then all her vows shall be confirmed, and all the obligations with which she had bound her soul be ratified, and her father shall have no power to absolve her.

13. 13

    וְאִין מִישְׁרָא יִשְׁרֵי יַתְהוֹן בַּעֲלָהּ בְּיוֹמָא דְשָׁמַע כָּל אַפְקוּת שִפְתָהָא לְנִדְרָהָא וּלְאִיסְרֵי נַפְשָׁהָא לָא יִתְקַיְימוּן וְאִין בַּעֲלָהּ בְּטֵילִינוּן וְלָא יַדְעַת וַעֲבָרַת מִן קֳדָם יְיָ יִשְׁתְּבֵק לָהּ

    But if her husband released her on the day that he heard, then, whatever her lips had pronounced to be a vow, or a bond upon her soul, shall not be confirmed; and if her husband had annulled them, and she, not knowing, had performed, it shall be forgiven her before the Lord.

14. 14

    כָּל נִדְרָא וְכָל קִיוּם אִסְרָא לְסַגָפָא נְפַשׁ בַּעֲלָהּ יְקַיְימִינוּן וּבַעֲלָהּ יְבַטֵילִינוּן

    Every vow, every oath-bond to chasten the soul, her husband may ratify or annul.

15. 15

    וְאִין מִשְׁתַּק יִשְׁתּוֹק וּמִתְכַּוֵון לָהּ בַּעֲלָהּ מִיוֹמָא דְשָׁמַע לְיוֹמָא חוֹרַן וְיִתְקַיְימוּן כָּל נִדְרָהָא אוֹ יַת כָּל אִיסְרָהָא דַעֲלָהּ וּבְמִשְׁתּוּקֵיהּ קְיַים יַתְהוֹן אֲרוּם שָׁתִיק לָהּ בְּיוֹמָא וְאִתְכַּוֵון וְלָא שְׁרִינוּן בְּיוֹמָא דְשָׁמַע

    But if her husband was silent and consented when he heard from one day to the next, then all her vows and all the bonds upon her are ratified; by his silence he hath confirmed them; for be was silent to her on the day, and consented, and absolved her not on the day that he heard.

16. 16

    וְאִין מֵישְׁרָא יִשְׁרֵי לָהּ יוֹמָא חַד בָּתַר דְשָׁמַע לָא סַגְיָא לָהּ בְּשֵׁירוּתָא וְאִין מַפְסָא פִתְגָמָא בַּעֲלָהּ אוֹ אִיבָהּ מְקַבֵּל יַת חוֹבָהּ

    But if, absolving, he would absolve her one day after he had heard, there is no force in the absolution; and if he then nullify the word, her husband or her father shall bear her sin.

17. 17

    אִלֵין אַחֲוָויַת קְיָימַיָא דְפַקֵיד יְיָ יַת משֶׁה בֵּין גְבַר לְאִתְּתֵיהּ בֵּין אִיבָא לִבְרַתֵּיהּ בְּיוֹמֵי טַלְיוּתָא עַד דְהִיא בְּבֵית אִיבָהָא וְלָא בְּיוֹמֵי טַלְיוּתָא וְהִיא בְּבֵית בַּעֲלָהּ

    These are the publications of the statutes which the Lord commanded Mosheh (on these matters) between a man and his wife, and a father and his daughter in the day of her youth in her father's house; but not in the time of her youth, and she be in the house of her husband.
