< Numbers 6 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A man or a woman, when they have made a vow so that they may be sanctified, and when they are willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord,
你告訴以色列子民說:無論男女,若許了一個特願,即「納齊爾」願,獻身於上主,
3 shall abstain from wine and from anything which is able to inebriate. They shall not drink vinegar made from wine or from any other drink, nor anything pressed from the grape. They shall not eat grapes, neither fresh nor dried.
他該戒飲清酒和烈酒,不可喝清酒和烈酒製的醋,不可喝任何葡萄汁,也不可吃新鮮或乾葡萄。
4 During all the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow, they shall not eat whatever may be from the vineyard, from raisins, even to grape seeds.
在整個獻身期內,凡葡萄樹所結的,甚至葡萄仁和皮,都不可吃。
5 During all the time of his separation, no razor shall pass over his head, even until the completion of the day when he is consecrated to the Lord. He shall be holy, letting the hair of his head grow long.
在他整個守獻身願的時期內,不可剃頭;他幾時未滿獻身的願,是祝聖於上主的,應讓頭髮自由生長。
6 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death,
在他獻身於上主的整個時期內,凡有死人的地方,不可走進。
7 nor shall he contaminate himself, even over the funeral of his father, or his mother, or his brother, or his sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
連父親母親或兄弟姊妹死時,也不可讓自己沾染不潔,因為在他頭上有奉獻於天主的記號。
8 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord.
在他整個獻身期內,他是祝聖於上主的。
9 But if anyone will have died unexpectedly before him, the head of his consecration shall be polluted, and he shall shave it in that very place, on the same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day.
若有人忽然在他身旁猝死,那獻身者的願就沾染了不潔,在他取潔的那一天,應剃頭,即在第七天他應剃頭。
10 Then, on the eighth day, he shall offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, to the priest at the entrance to the covenant of the testimony.
到第八天,他應帶兩隻斑鳩和兩隻雛鴿,在會幕門口交給司祭。
11 And the priest shall effect one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for him, because he has sinned on account of the dead. And he shall sanctify his head on that day.
司祭取一隻獻作贖罪祭,另一隻獻作全燔祭,為他因染死屍的不潔贖罪。他在當天應祝聖自己的頭,
12 And he shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a one-year-old lamb for sin, yet in such a manner that the former days will be made null and void, because his sanctification was polluted.
重新將獻身的日子奉獻於上主,且應獻一隻一歲羔羊作贖過祭;以前的日子無效,因為獻身者的頭沾染了不潔。
13 This is the law of consecration. When the days that he had decreed by vow have been completed, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
關於「納齊爾」人的法律如下:在他獻身願期滿的那一天,應引他到會幕門口,
14 and he shall offer his oblation to the Lord: an immaculate one-year-old male lamb as a holocaust, and an immaculate one-year-old female lamb for sin, and an immaculate ram, a peace-offering victim,
他應獻給上主的祭品是:一隻無殘疾的一歲公羔羊作全燔祭,一隻無殘疾的母羔羊作贖罪祭,一隻無殘疾的公綿羊作和平祭,
15 also, a basket of unleavened bread, which has been sprinkled with oil, and cakes without leaven, anointed with oil, as well as the libations of each one.
一籃用細麵調油做的無酵餅,抹上油的無酵薄餅,以及同獻的素祭及奠祭。
16 And the priest shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust.
司祭在上主面前獻上這些祭品後,就為他舉行贖罪祭和全燔祭;
17 Yet truly, the ram he shall immolate as a peace-offering victim to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations which are required by custom.
將公綿羊同一籃無酵餅獻給上主作和平祭;然後幾行素祭和奠祭。
18 Then the Nazarite shall be shaved of the long hair of his consecration, before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant. And he shall take his hair, and he shall place it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
獻身者在會幕門口剃去自己祝聖的頭髮,把祝聖的頭髮,放在和平祭品的火上焚燒。
19 And he shall take the cooked shoulder of the ram, and one twist of bread without leaven from the basket, and one unleavened cake, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head has been shaven.
他剃去祝聖的頭髮以後,司祭取出煮過的公綿羊肩部,與籃中的一塊無酵餅和一塊無酵的薄餅,放在獻身者手上。
20 And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord. And having been sanctified, these shall be for the priest, as also the breast, which was ordered to be separated, and the leg. After this, the Nazarite is able to drink wine.
司祭將這些祭品在上主前,行奉獻的搖禮,除搖過的胸脯和舉過的腿外,這些亦是屬於司祭的聖物。此後,獻身者方可飲酒:
21 This is the law of the Nazarite, when he has vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, aside from those things which his hand shall find. According to what he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do, to the perfection of his sanctification.”
這是關於許獻身願者的法律,獻身者應奉獻於上主的祭品;如果獻身者照自己的財力許願多獻,就應照所許的願,在獻身願所規定的以外,多作奉獻。」
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
你告訴亞郎和他的兒子說:你們應這樣祝福以色列子民說:『
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
願上主祝福你,保護你;
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
願上主的慈顏光照你,仁慈待你。
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
願上主轉面垂顧你,賜你平安。』
27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
這樣,他們將以色列子民歸我名下,我必祝福他們。」
