< Numbers 6 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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,
Loquere ad filios Israel, et dices ad eos: Vir, sive mulier, cum fecerint votum ut sanctificentur, et se voluerint Domino consecrare:
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.
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 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.
cunctis diebus quibus ex voto Domino consecrantur: quidquid ex vinea esse potest, ab uva passa usque ad acinum non comedent.
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.
Omni tempore separationis suæ novacula non transibit per caput eius usque ad completum diem, quo Domino consecratur. Sanctus erit, crescente cæsarie capitis eius.
6 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death,
Omni tempore consecrationis suæ super mortuum non ingredietur,
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.
nec super patris quidem et matris et fratris sororisque funere contaminabitur, quia consecratio Dei sui super caput eius est.
8 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord.
Omnibus diebus separationis suæ sanctus erit Domino.
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.
Sin autem mortuus fuerit subito quispiam coram eo, polluetur caput consecrationis eius: quod radet illico in eadem die purgationis suæ, et rursum septima.
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.
In octava autem die offeret duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbæ sacerdoti in introitu fœderis testimonii.
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.
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 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.
et consecrabit Domino dies separationis illius, offerens agnum anniculum pro peccato: ita tamen ut dies priores irriti fiant, quoniam polluta est sanctificatio eius.
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,
Ista est lex consecrationis. Cum dies, quos ex voto decreverat, complebuntur: adducet eum ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis,
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,
et offeret oblationes eius Domino, agnum anniculum immaculatum in holocaustum, et ovem anniculam immaculatam pro peccato, et arietem immaculatum, hostiam pacificam,
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.
canistrum quoque panum azymorum qui conspersi sint oleo, et lagana absque fermento uncta oleo, ac libamina singulorum:
16 And the priest shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust.
quæ offeret sacerdos coram Domino, et faciet tam pro peccato, quam in holocaustum.
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.
Arietem vero immolabit hostiam pacificam Domino, offerens simul canistrum azymorum, et libamenta quæ ex more debentur.
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.
Tunc radetur nazaræus ante ostium tabernaculi fœderis cæsarie consecrationis suæ: tolletque capillos eius, et ponet super ignem, qui est suppositus sacrificio pacificorum.
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.
Et armum coctum arietis, tortamque absque fermento unam de canistro, et laganum azymum unum, et tradet in manus Nazaræi, postquam rasum fuerit caput eius.
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.
Susceptaque rursum ab eo, elevabit in conspectu Domini: et sanctificata sacerdotis erunt, sicut pectusculum, quod separari iussum est, et femur. Post hæc, potest bibere Nazaræus vinum.
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.”
Ista est lex Nazaræi, cum voverit oblationem suam Domino tempore consecrationis suæ, exceptis his, quæ invenerit manus eius. Iuxta quod mente devoverat, ita faciet ad perfectionem sanctificationis suæ.
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
Loquere Aaron et filiis eius: Sic benedicetis filiis Israel, et dicetis eis:
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Benedicat tibi Dominus, et custodiat te.
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
Ostendat Dominus faciem suam tibi, et misereatur tui.
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
Convertat Dominus vultum suum ad te, et det tibi pacem.
27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
Invocabuntque nomen meum super filios Israel, et ego benedicam eis.
