כִּֽי־תִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹא תְאַחֵר לְשַׁלְּמוֹ כִּֽי־דָרֹשׁ יִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מֵֽעִמָּךְ וְהָיָה בְךָ חֵֽטְא׃
If you make a vow to Adonoy, your God, do not delay in discharging it; for Adonoy, your God, will surely demand it from you, and you will be at fault.

וְכִי תֶחְדַּל לִנְדֹּר לֹֽא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ חֵֽטְא׃
But if you desist from vowing, no fault will be found with you.

מוֹצָא שְׂפָתֶיךָ תִּשְׁמֹר וְעָשִׂיתָ כַּאֲשֶׁר נָדַרְתָּ לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נְדָבָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ בְּפִֽיךָ׃ {ס}
Keep what you have articulated; and perform whatever you vow; to Adonoy, your God, voluntarily—whatever you say with your mouth.

Rashi
מוצא שפתיך תשמר. לִתֵּן עֲשֵׂה עַל לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה (שם ו'):
Keep what you have articulated and perform. This specifies a positive commandment with the negative.
לא תאחר לשלמו. שְׁלוֹשָׁה רְגָלִים, וּלְמָדוּהוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ מִן הַמִּקְרָא (ראש השנה ד'):
Do not delay in discharging it. For three festivals. The Rabbis derive this from Scripture.
