< Numbers 6 >
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 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;
Loquere ad filios Israel, et dices ad eos: Vir, sive mulier, cum fecerint votum ut sanctificentur, et se voluerint Domino consecrare:
3 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.
a vino, et omni, quod inebriare potest, abstinebunt. Acetum ex vino, et ex qualibet alia potione, et quidquid de uva exprimitur, non bibent: uvas recentes siccasque non comedent
4 All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.
cunctis diebus quibus ex voto Domino consecrantur: quidquid ex vinea esse potest, ab uva passa usque ad acinum non comedent.
5 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.
Omni tempore separationis suae novacula non transibit per caput eius usque ad completum diem, quo Domino consecratur. Sanctus erit, crescente caesarie capitis eius.
6 All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
Omni tempore consecrationis suae super mortuum non ingredietur,
7 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.
nec super patris quidem et matris et fratris sororisque funere contaminabitur, quia consecratio Dei sui super caput eius est.
8 All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.
Omnibus diebus separationis suae sanctus erit Domino.
9 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.
Sin autem mortuus fuerit subito quispiam coram eo, polluetur caput consecrationis eius: quod radet illico in eadem die purgationis suae, et rursum septima.
10 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;
in octava autem die offeret duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbae sacerdoti in introitu foederis testimonii.
11 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.
facietque sacerdos unum pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum, et deprecabitur pro eo, quia peccavit super mortuo: sanctificabitque caput eius in die illo:
12 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.
et consecrabit Domino dies separationis illius, offerens agnum anniculum pro peccato: ita tamen ut dies priores irriti fiant, quoniam polluta est sanctificatio eius.
13 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,
Ista est lex consecrationis. Cum dies, quos ex voto decreverat, complebuntur: adducet eum ad ostium tabernaculi foederis,
14 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,
et offeret oblationes eius Domino, agnum anniculum immaculatum in holocaustum, et ovem anniculam immaculatam pro peccato, et arietem immaculatum, hostiam pacificam,
15 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.
canistrum quoque panum azymorum qui conspersi sint oleo, et lagana absque fermento uncta oleo, ac libamina singulorum:
16 And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;
quae offeret sacerdos coram Domino, et faciet tam pro peccato, quam in holocaustum.
17 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.
Arietem vero immolabit hostiam pacificam Domino, offerens simul canistrum azymorum, et libamenta quae ex more debentur.
18 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.
Tunc radetur nazaraeus ante ostium tabernaculi foederis caesarie consecrationis suae: tolletque capillos eius, et ponet super ignem, qui est suppositus sacrificio pacificorum.
19 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,
Et armum coctum arietis, tortamque absque fermento unam de canistro, et laganum azymum unum, et tradet in manus nazaraei, postquam rasum fuerit caput eius.
20 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.
Susceptaque rursum ab eo, elevabit in conspectu Domini: et sanctificata sacerdotis erunt, sicut pectusculum, quod separari iussum est, et femur. post haec, potest bibere nazaraeus vinum.
21 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.
Ista est lex nazaraei, cum voverit oblationem suam Domino tempore consecrationis suae, exceptis his, quae invenerit manus eius. iuxta quod mente devoverat, ita faciet ad perfectionem sanctificationis suae.
22 And the Lord said to Moses,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
23 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,
Loquere Aaron et filiis eius: Sic benedicetis filiis Israel, et dicetis eis:
24 May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:
Benedicat tibi Dominus, et custodiat te.
25 May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:
Ostendat Dominus faciem suam tibi, et misereatur tui.
26 May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.
Convertat Dominus vultum suum ad te, et det tibi pacem.
27 So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.
Invocabuntque nomen meum super filios Israel, et ego benedicam eis.
