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: Når en Mand eller Kvinde vil aflægge et Nasiræerløfte for således at indvie sig til HERREN,

Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;

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

He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.

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

All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.

5 Så længe hans Indvielsesløfte gælder, må ingen Ragekniv komme på hans Hoved; indtil Udløbet af den Tid han indvier sig til HERREN, skal han være hellig og lade sit Hovedhår vokse frit.

All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.

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

All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.

7 selv når hans Fader eller Moder, hans Broder eller Søster dør, må han ikke pådrage sig Urenhed ved dem, thi han bærer sin Guds indvielse på sit Hoved.

He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.

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

All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.

9 Men når nogen uventet og pludselig dør i hans Nærhed, og han således 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 death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.

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

And on the eighth day let him take to the priest, at the door of the Tent of meeting, two doves or two young pigeons;

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. Derpå skal han samme Dag atter hellige sit Hoved

And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.

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

And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.

13 Dette er Loven om Nasiræeren: Når hans indvielsestid er til Ende, skal han begive sig til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang

And this is the law for him who is separate, when the necessary days are ended: he is to come to the door of the Tent of meeting,

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

And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,

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.

And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.

16 Så skal Præsten bringe det for HERRENs Åsyn og ofre hans Syndoffer og Brændoffer,

And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;

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

Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.

18 Så skal Nasiræeren ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet rage sit indviede Hoved og tage sit indviede Hovedhår og kaste det i Ilden under Takofferet.

Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.

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

And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut,

20 Og Præsten skal udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn; det tilfalder Præsten som Helliggave foruden Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen. Derefter må Nasiræeren atter drikke Vin.

Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take 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 for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.

22 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord said to Moses,

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

Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,

24 HERREN velsigne dig og bevare dig,

May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:

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

May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:

26 HERREN løfte sit Åsyn på dig og give dig Fred!

May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.

27 Således skal de lægge mit Navn på Israeliterne, og jeg vil velsigne dem.

So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.
