4 Mosebog 6
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar en Mand eller Kvinde lover et særligt Løfte om at blive Nasiræer, om at være afholdende for Herren,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
3 da skal han holde sig fra Vin og stærk Drik; han skal ikke drikke Vineddike eller Eddike af stærk Drik, og han skal ingen Saft drikke af Druer, han skal hverken æde friske eller tørre Druer.
You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 Alle hans Afholdenheds Dage skal han ikke æde noget, som beredes af Vinstokken, hverken Kerne eller Skal.
You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
5 Alle de Dage, som hans Afholdenheds Løfte varer, skal der ikke komme Ragekniv over hans Hoved; indtil de Dage ere opfyldte, i hvilke han er afholdende for Herren, skal han være hellig og lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit.
‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
6 Alle de Dage, han har lovet at være afholdende for Herren, skal han ikke komme til noget Lig.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Han skal ikke gøre sig uren ved sin Fader eller ved sin Moder, ved sin Broder eller ved sin Søster, naar de dø; thi hans Af holdenhedsmærke for Gud er paa hans Hoved.
Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
8 Alle hans Afholdenheds Dage skal han være Herren hellig.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Og dør nogen meget pludselig hos ham og gør hans Hoved med Afholdenhedsmærket urent, da skal han rage sit Hoved paa sin Renselsesdag, paa den syvende Dag skal han rage det.
‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
10 Og paa den ottende Dag skal han bringe to Turtelduer eller to Dueunger til Præsten, til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Og Præsten skal lave een til et Syndoffer og een til et Brændoffer og gøre Forligelse for ham, fordi han har syndet ved Liget, og han skal hellige sit Hoved paa den samme Dag.
‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
12 Og han skal paa ny være afholdende for Herren sine Afholdenheds Dage og fremføre et aargammelt Lam til Skyldoffer; og de første Dage skulle falde hen, fordi hans Afholdenhed blev uren.
The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
13 Og dette er Nasiræerloven: Paa den Dag, hans Afholdenheds Dage udløbe, skal han fremføre dette for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør,
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 og han skal ofre som sit Offer for Herren eet aargammelt Væderlam uden Lyde til et Brændoffer og eet aargammelt Gimmerlam uden Lyde til et Syndoffer og een Væder uden Lyde til et Takoffer
and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
15 og en Kurv med usyrede Kager af Mel, blandet med Olie, og usyrede tynde Kager, overstrøgne med Olie, og Madofret og Drikofret dertil.
‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
16 Og Præsten skal ofre det for Herrens Ansigt, og han skal lave hans Syndoffer og hans Brændoffer.
‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
17 Og Væderen skal han lave for Herren til Takoffer tillige med Kurven med de usyrede Brød, og Præsten skal lave hans Madoffer og hans Drikoffer.
Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
18 Og Nasiræeren skal rage Afholdenhedens Mærke af sit Hoved for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og han skal tage Hovedhaaret, som var Mærket paa hans Afholdenhed, og kaste det paa Ilden, som er under Takofret.
‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
19 Og Præsten skal tage den kogte Bov af Væderen og een usyret Kage af Kurven og een usyret tynd Kage, og han skal lægge dem paa Nasiræerens Hænder, efter at han har afraget sit Afholdenheds Mærke.
‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
20 Og Præsten skal røre dem med en Rørelse for Herrens Ansigt, det er Præsten helliget, tillige med Rørelsesbrystet og tillige med Gaveboven; og derefter maa Nasiræeren drikke Vin.
Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
21 Dette er Loven for Nasiræeren, som gør et Løfte, det er hans Offer til Herren for sin Afholdenhed, foruden det som hans Haand ellers formaar; efter hans Løftes Beskaffenhed, som han har lovet, saaledes skal han gøre efter Loven om hans Afholdenhed.
‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
22 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Tal til Aron og til hans Sønner og sig: Saaledes skulle I velsigne Israels Børn og sige til dem:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 Herren velsigne dig og bevare dig!
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 Herren lade lyse sit Ansigt over dig og være dig naadig!
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 Herren opløfte sit Ansigt til dig og give dig Fred!
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Og de skulle lægge mit Navn paa Israels Børn, og jeg, jeg vil velsigne dem.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
