4 Mosebog 6

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman pronounce an especial vow, the vow of a Nazarite, to be abstinent in honor of 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;

Then shall he abstain from wine and strong drink, vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink shall he not drink, and any infusion of grapes shall he not drink, and grapes, fresh or dried, shall he not eat.

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

All the days of his abstinence shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

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 days of the vow of his abstinence no razor shall pass over his head: until the days be completed, in which he abstaineth in honor of the Lord, shall he be holy, letting grow untouched the hair of his head.

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

All the days of his abstinence in honor of the Lord shall he 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.

On his father, or on his mother, on his brother, or on his sister, shall he not make himself unclean, when they die; because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

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

All the days of his abstinence is he holy unto 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;

And if some one die very suddenly by him, and he thus defile his consecrated head: then shall he shave his head on the day of his being cleansed, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

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

And on the eighth day shall he bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

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 shall prepare the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, because he hath sinned through the dead; and he shall hallow his head on 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 shall consecrate unto the Lord [again] the days of his abstinence, and he shall bring a sheep of the first year for a trespass-offering; but the prior days shall not be counted, because his consecration hath been defiled.

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

And this is the law of the Nazarite: On the day when the days of his abstinence are completed, shall he present himself at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;

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 he shall bring his offering unto the Lord, one male sheep of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe of the first year without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for 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.

And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings.

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

And the priest shall bring them near before the Lord, and he shall prepare his sin-offering, and his burnt-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.

And the ram shall he prepare for a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; and the priest shall prepare his meat-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.

And the Nazarite shall shave at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation his consecrated head; and he shall take the hair of his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of 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 på Nasiræerens Hænder, efter at han har afraget sit indviede Hovedhår.

And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it is cooked, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaved his consecrated [head].

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.

And the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord; it is a holy gift for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the shoulder that was lifted up: and after that may the Nazarite 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 Nazarite who hath vowed; his offering unto the Lord for his abstinence, besides that which he may be able to give: according to his vow which he may vow, so must he do in addition to what is required by the law of his abstinence.

22 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

24 HERREN velsigne dig og bevare dig,

The Lord bless thee, and preserve thee;

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

The Lord make his face shine unto thee, and be gracious to thee;

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

The Lord lift up his countenance unto thee, and give thee peace.

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

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel: and I will bless them.
