22 Mas cuando te abstuvieres de prometer, no habrá en ti pecado.

Deuteronomio 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:22

But if thou shalt forbear to vow
That a man might do, though there was ability; it was expected indeed that men should vow and bring freewill offerings in proportion to their ability; whether they were of the greater sort, of the herd and flock, or of fowls, or even of fine flour, these were acceptable to the Lord: but if they were not vowed and brought,

it shall be no sin in thee;
no charge of guilt be brought or punishment laid; it should not be reckoned a crime, nor be punishable in any respect, and especially where there was a willing mind and no ability; otherwise negligence, niggardliness, and ingratitude, are not well pleasing in the sight of God.

20 Del extraño tomarás logro, mas de tu hermano no lo tomarás, porque te bendiga Jehová tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos sobre la tierra á la cual entras para poseerla.
21 Cuando prometieres voto á Jehová tu Dios, no tardarás en pagarlo; porque ciertamente lo demandará Jehová tu Dios de ti, y habría en ti pecado
22 Mas cuando te abstuvieres de prometer, no habrá en ti pecado.
23 Guardarás lo que tus labios pronunciaren; y harás, como prometiste á Jehová tu Dios, lo que de tu voluntad hablaste por tu boca.
24 Cuando entrares en la viña de tu prójimo, comerás uvas hasta saciar tu deseo: mas no pondrás en tu vaso.
