4 Mosebog 6

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And the LORD said to Moses,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar en Mand eller Kvinde vil aflægge et Nasiræerløfte for saaledes at indvie sig til HERREN,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,

3 skal han afholde sig fra Vin og stærk Drik; Vineddike og stærk Drik maa han ikke drikke, ej heller nogen som helst drik af Druer; han maa hverken spise friske eller tørrede Druer;

he is to abstain from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and he must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.

4 saa længe hans Indvielse varer, maa han intet som helst nyde, der kommer af Vinstokken, hverken umodne Druer eller friske Skud.

All the days of his separation, he is not to eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.

5 Saa længe hans Indvielsesløfte gælder, maa ingen Ragekniv komme paa hans Hoved; indtil Udløbet af den Tid han indvier sig til HERREN, skal han være hellig og lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit.

For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. He must be holy until the time of his separation to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long.

6 Hele den Tid han har indviet sig til HERREN, maa han ikke komme Lig nær;

Throughout the days of his separation to the LORD, he must not go near a dead body.

7 selv naar hans Fader eller Moder, hans Broder eller Søster dør, maa han ikke paadrage sig Urenhed ved dem, thi han bærer sin Guds Indvielse paa sit Hoved.

Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to defile himself, because the crown of consecration to his God is upon his head.

8 Saa længe hans Indvielse varer, er han helliget HERREN.

Throughout the time of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.

9 Men naar nogen uventet og pludselig dør i hans Nærhed, og han saaledes bringer Urenhed over sit indviede Hoved, skal han rage sit Hoved, den Dag han atter bliver ren; den syvende Dag skal han rage det;

If someone suddenly dies in his presence and defiles his consecrated head of hair, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing—the seventh day.

10 og den ottende Dag skal han bringe to Turtelduer eller Dueunger til Præsten ved Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang.

On the eighth day he must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

11 Og Præsten skal ofre den ene som Syndoffer og den anden som Brændoffer og skaffe ham Soning, fordi han har syndet ved at røre ved Lig. Derpaa skal han samme Dag atter hellige sit Hoved

And the priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him, because he has sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. On that day he must consecrate his head again.

12 og atter indvie sig til HERREN for lige saa lang Tid, som han før havde indviet sig, og bringe et aargammelt Lam som Skyldoffer; den forløbne Tid regnes ikke med, da han har bragt Urenhed over sit indviede Hoved.

He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.

13 Dette er Loven om Nasiræeren: Naar hans Indvielsestid er til Ende, skal han begive sig til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang

Now this is the law of the Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

14 og som Offergave bringe HERREN et aargammelt, lydefrit Væderlam til Brændoffer, et aargammelt, lydefrit Hunlam til Syndoffer og en lydefri Væder til Takoffer,

and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—

15 en Kurv med usyret Bagværk, Kager af fint Hvedemel, rørte i Olie, og usyrede Fladbrød, smurte med Olie, desuden det tilhørende Afgrødeoffer og de tilhørende Drikofre.

together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil.

16 Saa skal Præsten bringe det for HERRENS Aasyn og ofre hans Syndoffer og Brændoffer,

The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.

17 og Væderen skal han ofre som Takoffer til HERREN tillige med de usyrede Brød i Kurven; derpaa skal Præsten ofre hans Afgrødeoffer og Drikoffer.

He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.

18 Saa skal Nasiræeren ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet rage sit indviede Hoved og tage sit indviede Hovedhaar og kaste det i Ilden under Takofferet.

Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head, take the hair, and put it on the fire under the peace offering.

19 Og Præsten skal tage den kogte Bov af Væderen og een usyret Kage og eet usyret Fladbrød af Kurven og lægge dem paa Nasiræerens Hænder, efter at han har afraget sit indviede Hovedhaar.

And the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite who has just shaved the hair of his consecration.

20 Og Præsten skal udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENS Aasyn; det tilfalder Præsten som Helliggave foruden Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen. Derefter maa Nasiræeren atter drikke Vin.

The priest shall then wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. This is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 Det er Loven om Nasiræeren, der aflægger Løfte, om hans Offergave til HERREN i Anledning af Indvielsen, foruden hvad han ellers evner at give; overensstemmende med Løftet, han aflægger, skal han forholde sig efter den for hans Indvielse gældende Lov.

This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes, according to the law of his separation.”

22 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

23 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og sig: Naar I velsigner Israeliterne, skal I sige til dem:

“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24 HERREN velsigne dig og bevare dig,

‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;

25 HERREN lade sit Ansigt lyse over dig og være dig naadig,

may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

26 HERREN løfte sit Aasyn paa dig og give dig Fred!

may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’

27 Saaledes skal de lægge mit Navn paa Israeliterne, og jeg vil velsigne dem.

So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
