But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
NMV“But I say to you not to swear uselessly in any matter, neither by Heaven because it is the throne of The Mighty One”,
OJBBut I say to you, Do not swear shevuot (oaths) at all, neither by Shomayim, for it is the kes malchut of Hashem (throne of G-d),
TCENTBut I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
T4TBut now listen to what I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm that what you are saying will happen. For example, do not promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in heaven [MTY] to affirm that you will do it, because heaven is where God sits on his throne [MTY] to rule over people.
