4 Mosebog 6
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når en Mand eller Kvinde vil aflægge et Nasiræerløfte for således at indvie sig til 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 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;
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 så længe hans Indvielse varer, må han intet som helst nyde, der kommer af Vinstokken, hverken umodne Druer eller friske Skud.
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 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.
‘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 Hele den Tid han har indviet sig til HERREN, må han ikke komme Lig nær;
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
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.
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 Så længe hans Indvielse varer, er han helliget HERREN.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
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 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 den ottende Dag skal han bringe to Turtelduer eller Dueunger til Præsten ved Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang.
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 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
‘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 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.
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 Dette er Loven om Nasiræeren: Når hans indvielsestid er til Ende, skal han begive sig til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
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 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 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.
‘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 Så skal Præsten bringe det for HERRENs Åsyn og ofre hans Syndoffer og 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 ofre som Takoffer til HERREN tillige med de usyrede Brød i Kurven; derpå skal Præsten ofre hans Afgrødeoffer og Drikofer.
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 Så skal Nasiræeren ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet rage sit indviede Hoved og tage sit indviede Hovedhår og kaste det i Ilden under Takofferet.
‘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 og eet usyret Fladbrød af Kurven og lægge dem på Nasiræerens Hænder, efter at han har afraget sit indviede Hovedhår.
‘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 udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn; det tilfalder Præsten som Helliggave foruden Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen. Derefter må Nasiræeren atter 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 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.
‘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 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og sig: Når I velsigner Israeliterne, skal I 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 sit Ansigt lyse over dig og være dig nådig,
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 HERREN løfte sit Åsyn på dig og give dig Fred!
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Således skal de lægge mit Navn på Israeliterne, og jeg vil velsigne dem.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
