When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 23 of Deuteronomy. Laws concerning escaped slaves, cultic prostitution, interest, and the fulfillment of vows regulate different forms of economic and religious relationships. An escaped slave must not automatically be returned to his former master, while cultic prostitution is prohibited. Vows, meanwhile, must be fulfilled seriously, and the poor must not be denied access to the produce of the fields.

Von den Fremden magst du Zinsen nehmen, aber nicht von deinem Bruder, auf daß dich der HERR, dein Gott, segne in allem, was du vornimmst in dem Lande, dahin du kommst, es einzunehmen.
Cuando prometieres voto a Jehová tu Dios, no tardarás en pagarlo; porque ciertamente lo demandará Jehová tu Dios de ti, y habría en ti pecado.
Cuando hagas un voto a Jehová tu Dios, no tardarás en cumplirlo, porque Jehová tu Dios te lo exigirá sin falta; si te demoras, incurrirás en pecado.
Si tu fais un voeu à l'Eternel, ton Dieu, tu ne tarderas point à l'accomplir: car l'Eternel, ton Dieu, t'en demanderait compte, et tu te chargerais d'un péché.
Quando tu avrai votato un voto al Signore Iddio tuo, non indugiar d’adempierlo; perciocchè il Signore Iddio tuo per certo te ne ridomanderebbe conto, e vi sarebbe peccato in te.
Quando fizeres algum voto ao SENHOR teu Deus, não tardarás em cumpri-lo; porque o SENHOR teu Deus certamente o requererá de ti, e em ti haverá pecado.
「你向耶和華-你的上帝許願,不可遲延還願,因為耶和華-你的上帝必定向你追討,你就有罪了。
